In May alone, almost all the provinces of the country supplied much more scrap iron to the metal factories.

South Hamgyong Province encouraged its inhabitants to explore and tap much scrap iron and made all the areas and units steadily conduct this work on a regular basis.

Cities and counties of South Hwanghae and North Phyongan provinces collected a large amount of scrap iron and Pyongyang Municipality conducted a brisk scrap-iron collecting campaign.

Working people in Nampho Municipality, North Hamgyong Province, Kaesong Municipality and South Phyongan Province, too, took an active part in the work to collect scrap iron in their spare time.
