The things that go on over in Eur- "ope, they are un bearable. We couldn't e v e n dream such things. That is why I love America. I helped col- lect scrap not only because I love a free nation, it is because I am too young to join the armed forces. This is the only way 'I I ave to fight back. All the scrap I can gather is merely a drop in the well-known bucket, but that drop may win the war. When we win the war, again the world will be at peace. The whole world will become a God's country forever after. LIVONIA TOWNSHIP'S ONLY OFFICIAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER 1 � � Entered at the Plymouth, Michigan Subscription price, $1.00 per year.

The Jap zeros zoomed again and again on the small, des- olate isle. But ` not always did they soar high up in the clouds for the next at- tack' Why? Be- cause the Amer- ican guns were booming feroc- iously. T r a c e r bullets went gleaming in the wicked glow of the fires behind the ramparts. Bombs were hail- ing their destruction everywhere —on hangars, barracks, store- houses, and even on the Red Cross hospital with its brave red . symbol. Anguished crys emerged from ruined debris. Crews of workers went scurrying about to pick up the mangled, bloody bodies of the w=ounded. Dead, unsung heroes_ were being collected in boxes, piece by piece. ,The climax was here. A Jap zero came plumenting down, wretched black smoke _billowing from its engine. Suddenly the . Japs fled. The Americans were too much for them. For above the small island valiantly waved the Stars and Stripes. The giant guns silenced their pent-up wrath of fury. The crackling of the fires were heard. Cries, cries of the helpless wound- ed and dying! The silence after the battle was erie. All at once dots were seen hurrying about. They were the men left by God's. permission, performing their duties of mercy, putting out raging infernos, and defiantly striving to putchaos back into order. But how can they win without equipment, supplies, and other (Continue¢ on Page 4) Starr Winner Marian Lawson Age 15—Grade 8 A person cooperating with the cominunity, the school, and the country is said to be a very good citizen.

Yet, it means so much to our soldiers, sailors and marines to have the necessary equipment with which to win this war. Let's get behind :our boys, the doctors and Red Cross nurses, the men and women in our deefnse plants who are giving all they have to keep our country free. Cooper Winner Robert McLelland Age 14—Grade 8 Pierson Winner Shirley Ault Age 12—Grade 8 It was not long ago when ev- ery American family discarded old tinware in great quantities. Today each of us has come to.real- ize what a .prec- ious metal tin really is, a ma- terial for which a no synthetic pro- duct can be man- ufactured. Today with the world at w a Bolivia is our only j . .. source for tin. n The United states sold all of its -scrap metal to Japan for a number of, years, and now our country doesn't have enough ore to supply our war needs. We have to contribute our scrap metal to be re-claimed and re- processed to help in the manu- facture of planes, tanks, ships and tools used to help win the war. Scrap also helps to save the lives of many soldiers by being re -processed into hand grenades, bayonets, helmets and gas masks. The war is effecting our rub- ber supply. British Malaya and the Netherlands Indies supplied abput ninety percent of the world's crude rubber. These. countries are now occupied by the., Japanese._ The United States uses more rubber than any, other country in the world. Therefore, the present supplies are being conserved and substitutes for crude rubber are being introduced. It is estimated that the rubber requirements for military uses of the nation for 1942' will be about 225,000 tons. Our scrap will help obtain Victory, and keep our American flag floating o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
