line of service which colleges in the
east are planning for women students.
Miss Genevieve Chase, formerly of
Coquille, who is dean of Adelphi
college on Long Island, is the one
quoted and the fact that she grew
to womanhood in Coquille adds to
local interest in her talk:

The most serious problem con
fronting the war effort today is the
shortage of steel. Scrap metal is es
sential to the manufacture of steel.
It is estimated that there are millions
of tons of scrap that can be turned
over to the steel mills before the end
of the year.
The War Production Board has long
since set up an elaborate nation-wide
salvage organization under four di
visions. This organization has pro
duced a vast amount of scrap, but so
imminent is the need that far greater
effort must be made to gather the
scrap at once. To that end Donald M.
_1_
Nelson, chief of the War Production
Board, has turned to the newspapers
of the country to campaign for scrap
’
metal.
It was estimated soine time ago
that during the last six months of
1042 17,000,000 tons of scrap metal
would be needed to keep the steel

Is urged to search his home, his gar
age, his bam and his yard for scrap
metal. Every farmer is urged to do
the same.
Arrangements will be
made by the local salvage committees
tor its collection.
Sponsored by the State Salvage
Committee, general salvage section,
aq amount of $2000 in war savings
bonds has been set aside as prize
awards for Oregon counties.
The
terms of this prize offer, as announced
by State Chairman Claude I. Ser-
sanous are: .
One thousand dollars in bonds
(present value) to the Oregon county
collecting the greatest per capita
poundage—the prize to be turned over
to a charity daaignated by the coun-
ty salvage committee.
Five hundred dollars in bonds
(present value) to the Oregon coun-
ty with next highest per capita-av
erage—this prize also to go to a suit
able charity.
• Three hundred dollars in bonds
‘ (present value) to the business firm
which gives or sells the largest
amount of scrap metal.
One hundred fifty dollars in bonds
(present value) to the individual—
man or woman, boy or girl—giving or
selling the largest amount of scrap
metal. "
Fifty dollars in bonds or stamps
(present value) to the unit of a boys'
or girls’ organization turning in the
largest amount of scrap metal.
This Is Not Just Another Drive.
This is to be a “treasure hqnt” in
the real sense of the word; a “treasure

effort with its greatest need at a
