RUBBER POURS INTO GAS STATIONS: Miss Mary V. Meyers, 1113, Lutz Ave., stopped at Hunter's gas station, W. Liberty and S. First Sts., this morning to watch Attendant Harold Harris weigh up some of the first contributions in the current drive to collect scrap rubber. This service station was lucky enough to be able to borrow a scale, something managers of all stations in the city which are collecting rubber would like to be able to do. The scale on which Mr. Harris is weighing the pile of old tires was loaned by James Smith, a farmer living on Pontiac Trail.

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.
