Scope and content
On July 23, 1941, Boy Scouts from Troop 42, in the Larchmont area, were pictured at 9th and Broadway with their donations for the wartime scrap aluminum drive. The boys had quite a collection of old metal, including the washing machine that they are heaving into the main dump site. A large wire enclosure was being used to corral the donated metal during the weeklong city drive. The eleven boys in the troop brought 135 donation pieces from their Southeastern neighborhood. (T.
