| Summary: | "The above picture was made of members of the Sheffield Citizens Defense Corps on March 14, during an all out salvage drive. Six enlisted men from Courtland Army Air Base and the man in charge of weights at the Florence Salvage Depot pose with Miss June Caruthers, Miss Sarah Hughes and Miss Cora Caruthers of the Sheffield Corps. More than 10,000 pounds of waste paper and 1,245 pounds of tin cans were collected in Colbert County during the drive, which was directed by Jack J. Caruthers, County Chairman. The Lauderdale County Salvage Depot, which is sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary is outstanding in the State for its efficient operation. The project is headed by Mrs. Milo S. Long, Chairman of the Lauderdale County Salvage Committee. Salvage is brought from the surrounding counties and communities to be weighed at the Florence Depot."
