................. JI...... ! 1 [ Have You Heard? ] 1 heard it again from a fallow bus passenger while I was on my way to th« office. We were-’paauisg one of the numerous scrap iron piles that are still in evidence in various parts of the state. The talkative ene made this time-worn ramark: “If they <are so short of scrap, why haven't they picked that up?" The surpris ing part of it all is that thousands of words were used explaining this ‘situation during th« recent scrap . «drive. The tacts are we are and hope to be manufacturing armaments every «day of th« year. We are not having •scrap drivesarer day, consequently a' surplus must be built up Does it any il Iff «ream whether it is .. sterad at the school yards, junk yards or in ■nish weeded space at the de- .■ fens« plants? Of course it was an in nocent remark end no harm intended, but I suggest that some at us should read and think more and talk less. The Important part about it all is that we must learn to stop this kind of talk. If we cannot say anything . creditable about our prosecution of the war, let’s keep still. Surely our coup in North Africa is sufficient to keep conversationalists busy for some time to come. , Vicious rumors are being reported to the i rumor and propaganda division of the Oregon state defense council ev«fy «toy. Some of them start in nocently enough from small inci dents that have no bearing oq ’the war. Their constant repeating nfp|- . trifles «heir importance so that ac tual damage is done. Others are the •result of well-laid plans of our ene mies, through fifth columnists and short wave radio. ’ Rare are some of the more recent rumors that have been reported: Here is one with a definite Axis coloring, designed to crea te 1 and dissatisfaction with our local setup: Burnir That a short time ago Axis airplanes were seen taking pictures while flying over Portland at dawn. That our planes did not go up until after the alleged aerial invader was Fart —-*A thorough investigation among proper officials proves that there were no Axis planes over Port land, therefore no need for our de fense planes. Thia one has as its purpose the cre ating of friction between local resi dence and shipyard workers who re cently were Imported from out of town.

'yiat may happen. When it does, the answer will be the unex ploded bomb, the UXB. In last week's article we told you about the UXB and why It is the most danger ous and devastating of modern war's all In weapons. In this article, one of a aerie« authorised by the U. S. Office at Civilian Defense,'for the Ninth Civilian Defense Region, we will tell you about the organteetfon working to render these bomb« impotent.

Auxiliary police will be sent to the scene to rope off the area, direct traffic from the evacuated and .to police the neighborhood that your home possessions will be protected while you are away. The control center of your Civilian De fense Council will also notify the U. S. Office of Civilian Defense head quarters nearest your City, which in turn will call for the expert assistance of the bomb disposal unit of the West ern Defense Command and Fourth Army. At this point the U. 8. Army will take over and it will be the Army's job to take such treasures as may be necessary to remove the planted' bomb. In case a number of UXB have fallen, it may be a week or more be-, fore the Army can take care of the one which has disrupted your life. But you must stay away from your home until you are notified by the au thor! tie« that it is safe for you to re turn. Every citizen has a responsibility to perform in connection not only with the UXB but with all other in struments of war which may fall dur ing an air raid.

For now, and until early January, is the time for holiday furloughs. Those tanned, dean-looking boys with tfteir freshly-pressed uniforms you see at our ticket windows will only have a few days at home with their folks this year and we want to make their trip home and back as pleasant as we eftn.

We know as you do, that a furlough at borne does something fun for » THE a soldier. (And no one denies he’s earned it.) But, to state the facts bald ly, we can’t carry the civilian holiday takers and furloughing soldiers and sailors, too. With such a good reason, most folks won’t find a ''sacrifice” in canceling a holiday trip. And if you’re one of these, the thousands of us here at S. P. will give you a cheer. For railroad people aren’t making holiday pleasure trips either. ' So please write your family and friends you nave changed your plans... that there's a lad in uniform who needs your seat to »ee bit folks before be travels do.
