If I had in the Club about ten years ao, my classification wculd undoubtedly read "Junk Business." Our common conception of the word Junk is -rcmething that is valueless pnd useless and it is quite proper that the word ruap, replaces the 2xpression Junk, as it relates to our industry. Scrap is by no means worthless or valueless, and it is a great mistake to regard scrap ns junk, in anything but loosest sense- The gleaming stainless spike atcp New York's Clirysler tuilding was made of scrap. So, in large part were the cables and trusses San F'ranciscos ne' bridges. But these are merely random examples cut cf thousands possible. The simple fact is that scrap steel constitutes about 63 per cent of the entire raw material requirements of the steel industry.

But very low prices will mean ho dumping of thousands of tons as the cheapest means of disposal. Export demand is keeping the price up.

Most cf the scrap being exported would not reach our domestic mills anyway, due to high freight rates. Scrap frcm agricultural states is too remote from steel mills to appear on the domestic market. Scrap men can see no reason why an embargo shculd be placed on scrap when finished steel and pig iron is be-in" sold in tremendous quantities to foreign buyers.

Meanwhile, an increase in the consumption of steei would sutomatically expand the produc ticn of scrap and augment the present visible supply.

Scrap is not included among the 38 strategic and critical materials for which the army and navy would accumulate against an emergency, for the reason that corrosion makcj long term stocking uneconomical and the domestic reservoir of scrap is large.

S. Van Dyke dropped around to the recording stage every now and again to hear the music and admire the cello player. He, too, thought she was beautiful. He also thought she was Russian. He finally told Mrs.

Bakaleinikoff that he believed she thould have a icreen. test. He said he thought that if she could speak English without an accent, she had a chance as a movie actress. "Sweethearts" eventually was completed, the musicians were dismis-ed, and Van Dyke forgot about the cellist. A couple of weeks ago he was appointed director of the picture.

"Andy Hardy Gets Spring For the first time in his popular series of films, the script stressed not only the performances of Lewis Stone and Mickey Rooney, but of the latter's school teacher. The studio wanted to give the part to Margaret Sullavan, but she was busy in another role. Finally the production office phoned Van Dyke and told him his leading lady had been hired. Her name was Helen Gilbert, the office said. "And he had no idea who I was," she reported.

"He'd always thought of me as Mrs. Bakaleinikoff. Anyhow I got the job and I did my first scene this morning and I wish Mr. Van Dyke would hurry up and announce luncheon. 'T had to get to the studio at 6:30 A.

and I'd studied my lines so long last night that I was so nervous I couldn't eat my breakfast." Her performance with Stone didn't reflect her nervousness, nor her hunger. Van Dyke said he believed she would become a top star. She said she would try her best. we're jotting a note on our calendar to interview Helen Gilbert a year hence. We hepe she'll be a head-liner.

BIRDS EYE FOOD SPECIAL BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAX Hollywood, April 20 (U.Rl-VHelen Gilbert, who never did acting before in her lifei stepjjed before Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cameras today as a full-fledged movie She was hungry because she hadn't had any breakfast she too excited to eat but she acquitted herself beautifully in a dramatic scene with Lewis Stone. Then she was interviewed for the first time in her 23 years.

This is the interview. And all we can say is that Helen Gilbert has ruined all those fine stories about how hard it is to become a movie actress. It wasiVt liard for her. "When the blonde and blue-eyed Miss Gilbert was 10, her father rah a music store in Superior. Wis.

The most impressive-looking instrument he had for sale was a cello. Helen wanted it, and since the cello business wasn't rushing in Superior, her father gave it to her. She learned to play it. By the time she was 15 she was known in the northwest as a cello prodigy. It wasn't long before she was playing in symphony orchestras, giving recitals, and hob-nobbing with musical big-wigs.

A few more years passed and she married Mischa Bakaleinikoff, the orchestra leader. She learned to talk Russian, so she'd be a better companion to her husband. Two years ago he came to Hollywood to make music for the pictures produced at Columbia studios. His bride came with him. Soori she was playing in Los Angeles' Philharmonic Orchestra.

She was the most beautiful musician ever to appear with that organization. Her eyes were brilliant blue, her hair ash-blonde, and her figure super-perfect. Many a patron of the Philharmonic attended its concerts principally to look at its lady cellist. Members of the orchestra added to their earnings by playing the muiscal backgrounds in the movie studios. Miss for 30 years taken the despised cf waste of American industry and rave created genuine national wealth cut of it.

From the foundation of the -eo'dlsr, who has today become merely the extreme outpost cf the industry, the business in one generation has become highly organized, characterised ty large corporations, yards cf extensive acreage and expensive equipment. Scrap men are classified into three groups according to the part they take in the business. First, we have what is commonly known as the peddler. He is the fellow who goes from house to house or places producing scrap in quantities. Second, we have what is known as the yard dealer who buys frcm peddlers, industrial plants etc.

Here the scrap is classified, prepared for consumption and eventually shipped to the steel mill or foundry. The third group consists of the brckers who play a very essential role in the trans--ormation of scrap into the finished product of steel. The large steel mills as a rule do net purchase in small tonnages frcm the yard dealer, but rather place their orders for several thousand tens at a time with the broker. At the the broker receives an order, he 'mmediately contacts the yard dealers ts purchase sufficient scrap to cover the order received. However, some cf the brckers do maintain yards of their own but the greater percentage of scrap they handle is secured from the smaller yard dealer.

We might in- courage and the will to make something cf what Chet Cook says is nothing. The scrap iron dealer has efficiently carriSd cut the mandate of the Bible to "beat swords into plough share." After each naval treaty the battleships Find their way to the yards of scrap ircn dealers to be converted into instrument of peace. In times cf emergency, a vital factor in creating the sinews cf war: in time cf peace an agency to destroy the very weapon they helped to create. The problem of the future is to find wider uses for all waste snd by products of industry. To build such an important industry out of an otherwise useless commodity was no small accomplishment.

My hat is eff to the fellow that first started to cry "Any Rags, Any Bones, Any Gumshoes." ture the pieces in to proper shspe to feed the hungry mouths of thousands cf steel furnaces. The average person believes that all scrap is the same. He thinks the dealer. merely throws it in a railroad car helter skelter ond ships it. Nothing could pessibly be mere untrue.

As the scrap is brought into the dealers yard it must be classified in to one of twenty-five cr more grades. Cut or broken ta the size suitable for the specifications fcr that particular grade of scrap, which involves considerable time, labor and expense, and a thorough knowledge of the different grades and classifications of scrap. One of the most important services of the scrap dealer, however, lies in another direction. It is as a conser-ver that the scrap iron industry lays claim to public attention. The significance cf this is being appreciated by the government and public alike.
