Steel shortage affects the building trade

SCRAP "SCRAP n. and v.i. Fight, scrimmage, esp. of unpremeditated kind." (Oxford Dictionary.) ...that's what the other kind of scrap is needed for—to win this present fight quickly. And Architects and Builders can help considerably in supplying this need by reporting any particulars of derelict property from which a worth-while quantity of scrap iron and steel might be salvaged. Derelict factories, buildings and works usually contain any amount of ferrous refuse and fixed plant which will melt down into the steel urgently needed for war material—steel which is also urgently needed by the building trade.
