From the August 24, 2016, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Ill.) "Looking Back."
"Sycamore, in its participation in the collection of waste aluminum which will be taken to smelters for use in national defense manufactures, will deposit the waste metal in a large bin which is being located on the lawn of the court house yard.
"The bin will be guarded the entire week."
Hard to believe that anyone would be stealing it. But this does show war preparations being made before Pearl Harbor.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
