Salvage. School children get in the scrap. The school children of America were officially organized for a nationwide salvage program starting on Monday, October 5, 1942. The children are going into the field as a junior army engaged in a major campaign for victory. Plans included the laying out of definite areas in each community to be assigned to specific groups of children. Plans were also made for holding meetings, collecting scrap, storing it and getting it to central points for shipment. Roanoke, Virginia has already gotten its program underway. This is one of the first official pictures of the school salvage campaign (taken in Roanoke where it is actually in operation) and it presents a fair sample of what is taking place all over the country. This picture shows children receiving instructions in school, after which they will be made lieutenants, sergeants, corporals, etc., and undertake the actual collection of scrap metal, rubber, fats and greases
