8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
Today and tomorrow the familiar cry of the junk man calling for "Any Old Clothes?" will be taken over by the War Service Committee. A scrap drive is being conducted to empty Harvard rooms of all the old clothes, metal, and rubber that can possibly be salvaged. The money from the sale of scrap will go to PBH and the USO, while the records and musical instruments collected will be sent directly to the navy and the merchant marine.
The drive has two primary objects--salvaging material for war production and the furthering of armed service morale. Old cloth can be used in industrial processing, while broken records are now the only source of shellac from which new records can be made. The need for scrap rubber and metal is too well-known to require comment. Here is something which you can do for the war effort which takes no money. It doesn't even take any time. It will merely clear your room of excess junk and old cloth that is really needed somewhere else.
