Manpower, junior size. "After this old tire's been done over, it will make twelve gas masks. Just think! You'll save the lives of twelve soldiers!" These fifth graders in the Gainsboro Elementary School in Roanoke, Virginia had been gathering scrap on their own, even before the junior commandos were organized there. Eagerly, they listen to teacher Nettie Traynham tell them that now--along with thirty-million other young Americans--they are part of America's junior army to collect scrap for our fighting men
