The remainder of the paper dealt with the war effort - saving tin for Uncle Sam. A series of cartoons on how tin helps. 3 salvaged cans will make a hand grenade. One tin can will make a pair of binoculars. A family of four saving its cans for 2 weeks will save enough tin to supply metal for a portable flame thrower. A month's saving will make the bushings for 3 machine guns. A diagram was shown on how to smash the cans. There was also a note that old kitchen grease is war material, save every spoonful.
