Scope and content
Mayor Harry Cain watches as three Boy Scouts stack some of the tires collected during the old rubber drive held over a two week period in June of 1942. The boy on top of the pile is Bob Hogberg, on the left is Jay Fox and on the right is Fred Dean. The Boy Scouts collected over 32,000 pounds of old tires and other rubber products the first day of the drive. The scouts received 1 cent per pound for the rubber. They planned to use the money to pay for construction of a new cabin at Camp Kilworth. (T. Times 6/16/1942 p.16)
