Boy Scouts on Bicycles
| WW II scrap metal drive. Scoutmaster Edward G. Shaw and his troop of boy scouts on bicycles and on a trailer loaded with scrap metal. The trailer is hitched to an International truck and is parked in front of a McCormick-Deering dealership operated by R.H. Gehrke Company. The Scouts helped collect scrap metal during Governor Julius P. Heil's MacArthur Week. The troop of eighteen boys was divided in four divisions and the boys went out among the farms on their bicycles. They stopped at various farms, asked permission to collect scrap and, when it was granted, gathered it in convenient piles to be collected later by the junk dealer's motor truck. |
