December 15, 1941, Appleton Post-Crescent
In the first of what proved to be many more opportunities, local Boy Scouts do their part for National Defense. In years to come, these drives would escalate to include aluminum, silk, cooking fat, rubber tires, scrap metal, and others, to provide raw materials to be fashioned into whatever the military needed- be it bullets, rifles, airplanes, etc. Americans really pitched in as it was a national effort, and the Twin Cities were no strangers to taking part.
