COTTRELLE, Oil Controller for Canada mnized Salvage Collection by the Children is Notable Help in the War Effort of the Nation Your enquiring reporter learned two things this week. He learned a. lot about the contribution young Canada is making to our war effort and‘ a lot about the value of iron and steel salwage. Boys and girls all across this country are busy as beavers with salvage work. Iron and steel smelters benefit greatly from salvage activity. A letter just received from Louise Marie Parent, 13 year old French- Canadian living at Sayabec, Quebec, is illustrative of the enthusiasm young Canada has for this phase of home-front war effort. Louisâ€"Marie wants to help in the salvage drive. “Just show me how to go about it,” he says, “and you will see that my work will be profitable.” Louis-Marie realizes he is too small to do much for the war effort. He says he has no money and that he is too young to enlist. Never- theless, he would' like to do his bit in a different way. “You can‘t beat spirit like that,” commented William Knightley, cam- paign supervisor. “That’s the stuff we want to make our drive a con)- tinued’ success." Louis-Marie concludes his letter: “We are eleven childfrenr at home and‘ we all love our beautiful Canada and‘ want to help it to be victori- ous, even if it is by the humlblest means. I offer, therefore, to col- lect all old aluminum utensils, scrap iron, for war industries.” Louis-Marie as a collector of war salvage in his native Quebec will: be joining a large troop of other young Canadian salvageus across the Do- minion. Some of the early returns from these eager war workers are astonishing. The report of the 35 school! boys of Mount Albert, Ontario, has just reached‘ salvage headquarters. Conâ€" centrating ont metals and! waste pap- er, the lads sold $46 worth of sal- vage in May. In. June they increas- ed! this to $104. The money has- been donated to the “Toronto Tele- gram’s” war fund. Equally successful young Canad- ian salvage work has been carried‘ on: by the Keewatin, Ont, Boy Scouts. They select a single sal- vage item and concentrate on that for a month. So far they have colâ€" lected waste paper worth $32, rags worth $61, metals worth $67. The metals was their June campaign. They assvemlbled over seven- tons of all kinds through their own efforts. These materials have gone back inâ€" to Canada's war industries. “The care, energy, enthusiasm shown» by these young people are a daily inspiration to Salvage Camr- paign officials,” praised' Mr. Knight- ley. “They are helping to win to- d‘ay’s war so they can help build” tomorrow’s world." Contact with this phaSe of the National Salvage Campaign provok- ed your reporter to enquire parti- culars concerning the value of iron and steel salvage. He had recently visited a huge Canadian war planrt and had seen the great electric fur- naces melting metal for‘gun‘ 1barrels. The question brought a flood of striking facts from the Salvage Drive supervisor. It turns out that the contribution made by salvaging steel and! iron is most important. To donate an ob- solete machine, or even so small a thing as a couple of broken monkey wrenches to your local salvage com- mittee, is to help Canada save time, lalbor, money in the building of tanks, guns, bomlbs, ammor plating for ships, hand grenades, and: all the other devices of war made from steel and iron. The Salvage Campaign supervis- or went on to explain some of the technicalities of Canada's heavy-in- dustry war production. Steel, he pointedI out. may be made from iron ore, or from a mixture of iron ore and‘ scrap metal. The more scrap metal used, the greater the output of the smelter. A smelter turning out 20,000 tons of steel 3 week using iron ore alone can in- crease its output to 50,000 tons 'a week using iron ore and scrap. The hundreds of thousands of tons of scrap iron- and steel, so far collected by Canada’s National Sal‘- vage Drive and‘ turned over to inâ€" dulstry, have helped materially to maintain the large flow of this esâ€" sential material for war productiOn. Mr. Knigh‘tley also poin-ted‘ out how the collection of senap metal from Canadian homes, garages, basements, workshops have saved lafbor. “If we had had! to depend entirely upon Canadian iron ore for our steel production," he said, “we would have had? to greatly increase the Output from our few ore mines. This would‘ have needed more skilled: miners. They have not been available in any large numlbers, and it would have been necessary to transfer them from other industries.” “Nor is this the end) of the com triibution,” added the supervisor. “Last year Canada imported over $13,000,000 worth of scrap iron and steel. This required\ foreign ex- chamge. Adlditional exchange was neededl for the purchase of vast quantities of iron ore. The Nation- al Salvage Campaign, by collecting scrap metal, helps to keep this ex- penditure of precious foreign ex- change to a minimum.” Canada’s National Salvage Cam- paign has heIIped‘ to conserve this labor, and to prevent d’isl‘ocation‘s at- tend‘ing large transfers of labor. These are the things the average Canadian does when he “saves scrap to scrap Hitler,” concluded Mr. Knightley. To donate a quantity of metal really saves time, labor, money. It helps directly to build tanks, ships, bombs, and other im- plements of war. In Eastern Canada, the supervis- or said, the collection of steel and iron salvage goes forward apace. In Western Canada, the problem of transportation is srtill under considâ€" eration.
