After World War II had been
won, the War Assets Administration made good on the government's promise to reward
citizens for performing their patriotic civil duty whereby they participated in
the collection of recyclable material made of plastic, glass, rubber, metal, and
cloth. Magazines and newspapers had frequent coverage of bottle, metal, and tire
drives showing children pulling Radio Flyer wagons loaded to overflowing with such
items gathered from trash piles and soliciting neighborhood residents for anything
that could be spared. Waste of precious resources was a thing of shame. "Use it
up, Wear it out, Make it do, or Do without" was the slogan de jour. Ham radio operators
contributed mightily to the war effort by donating and/or selling meters, tubes,
transformers, capacitor tuning banks, and other items for the repair of battleground
radios.
