Mayor Harry P. Cain, left, and members of the Tacoma Home Defense Corps inspect some dented and damaged pots and pans. The obsolete articles will be remanufactured into bombers. The group stands next to a high wire enclosure at 9th and Broadway where used aluminum will be collected in a city wide week long drive. The wares will be given to the National Committee, operating under the slogan "America is worth defending, give your old aluminum." Pictured, left to right, are Mayor Cain, Alta (Mrs. C. F.) Freiheit, Marguerite (Mrs. J.A.) Slack, Athol (Mrs. E.H.) Engley, John Taylor and Commander Bert Bradley of the Home Defense Corps. (TNT 7/21/1941)
