WASTE METAL DRIVES
Launched By Princess Royal (Rec. 7.21). RUGBY, Sept. 7. The beginning of waste metal drives throughout the country was announced by the Princess Royal in a broadcast to-day.
The Princess asked listeners to picture a convoy of ten or a dozen ships with an escort of naval aircraft. “Multiply that tenfold and you will get an idea of the shipping saved thanks to the 400,000 tons of waste metal already salvaged from homes in Britain. Scrap metal collected through council schemes alone add another 400,000 tons, but we want more to pile up home reserves until the safety margin is reached,” she said.
