James Anagnost (above), 929 E. Ann St., wanted to help the scrap salvage campaign: he asked CDVO officials if it would be all right for him to establish a scrap depot. They said, "Sure," so a couple of friends, Victor Sindlinger and Ralph Soaper, helped him to build this scrap/bin, and the neighbors began to fill it up with such items as radiators, kettles and springs. It shows what one man and his friends can do to get in the scrap.

SOMETHING NEW IN SCRAP: Scouts Parker Pennington, troop 1, and Virgil Fairbanks, troop 76, perch on top of the metal their troops have collected to supplement the United Salvage Drive. On their hikes, the scouts went places which they thought would be untouched by both the school drive and farmers -- and brought this back. Parker, 13 years old, is in the eighth grade and Virgil, 12, is in the seventh grade at Tappan Junior High school.

TRANSPORTATION FOR SCRAP: Slauson Junior High school's junior scrap army uses a horse and buggy (above) to facilitate the collection of scrap metal. The attitude of the youngsters who posed for this picture is typical of the enthusiasm with which the school children are getting metal for Uncle Sam. Their collection program will begin officially on Monday.
