A wartime appeal urges citizens to donate all scrap metal to the war effort. It emphasizes everyday items like stoves, radiators, farm tools, auto parts and other metals as vital to steel production. Officials warn shortages limit mills and wartime capacity and call for full cooperation.
The wartime shortage of waste paper grows more dire as old newspapers and magazines become essential materials for bombs, chests, protectors, and fuel tank linings. Rags and fats are also diverted to support ship machinery, roofing, and gunpowder glycerine.
