NOW IN THE AIR
HOUSEHOLDERS' POTS
(British Official Wireless.) (Received December 31, 1.15 p.m.)
RUGBY, December 30,
More than half the aluminium which thousands of householders gave towards war production has been turned into manufactured aeroplanes. "The rest," stated Mr. R. A. Layton Bennett, chairman of the Aluminium Appeal Committee, "will be ready to take the sky by the end of January."
Five hundred tons of aluminium pots and pans from Army kitchens—sufficient for 500 planes—will almost immediately, it is stated, be handed over by the War Office to the Ministry of Aircraft Production.
