Collection of scrap aluminum
a« a defense measure will be made
in Ashland the week beginning
Monday, July 21. according to
Bill Allen, chairman of the Elks
committee who are sponsoring the
local drive with the cooperation •
of the Lions club.
Definite plans were to be out­
lined at a committee Thursday
night, but a large crib will prob­
ably be erected on the Plaza as a
depositing pla?e for the scrap
metal.
The local campaign is part of
a nation wide drive to collect
lumlnum to help relieve the short-
ige of that metal for defense
manufacturing purposes.
In a recent statement William
S. Knudsen, director general of
the office of production manage­
ment said: "The nation needs al­
uminum for planes and other vita)
items in its defense program more
rapidly than existing facilities can
produce it Additional facilities are
being constructed as quickly ax
possible. In the meantime, the
people of the nation can help by
donating all used aluminum ware
that can be spared from their
households without being replaced
"No individual or group or corp­
oration will make any profit out
of this transaction. The entire
proceeds of the sale will be used
for civilian defense. All aluminum
will be used exclusively for nat­
ional defense."

Extension Staff Joins
Drive for Aluminum
The extension field staff, con­
sisting of county agents, home
demonstration kgents, and 4-H
club agents, has been called upon
by William A. Schoenfeld, direct­
or of the OSC extension service,
to assist county defense councils
in every way posible in a nation­
wide aluminum gathering cam­
paign set for the week of July
21. This request to all members
of the staff followed a letter re­
ceived from Dean H. Walker, act­
ing governor, and Jerrold Owen,
coordinator of the Oregon state
defense council, who are directing
the campaign in Oregon.
The nation-wide drive to collect
old and unneeded aluminum of all
kinds is to obtain additional sup­
plies for use in production of de­
fense equipment. Farm families,
as well as those in the city, will
be asked to contribute old alum­
inum utensils and unused alumin­
um parts of any kind.
Items suggested include pots
and pans, radio parts, toys, shak­
ers, screening, old washing ma­
chine parts, picture frames, book­
ends. ice trays, measuring cups,
camera equipment, kettles and
double boilers, bottle and jar caps,
refrigerator plates, electrical ap­
pliances of all sorts, and, in fact,
anything made of aluminum that
is no longer needed or is worn
out.
Tentative plans call for visits
to be made at farm homes, be­
ginning the week of July 21. when
the aluminum will be called for.
It is estimated that the collec­
tion of aluminum scrap will pro­
duce some 20,000.000 pounds of
aluminum, which will go to smel-
tering plants, where it will be
made into secondary aluminum,
which will in turn release 20,000.-
000 pounds of first-class alumin­
um for use by the airplane indus­
try. This extra 20.000,000 pounds
is enough to provide aluminum for
2000 fighter planes.

RED CROSS
Speedy P-40 fighting planes
buzzing about the Medford airport
this past week has indicated the
presence of the 20th pursuit group
from Hamilton field. Calif, which
has gone into camp at the Elks
picnic grounds for two weeks of
training maneuvers in the south­
ern Oregon area.
The group consists of 80 officers
and 350 enlisted men under the
command of Col. Ira C. Eaker.
Their schedule during the two-
weeks encampment on the Rogue
calls for air maneuvers and study
each morning, except Saturday
and Sunday, with most of the
afternoons given over to recrea­
tional activities
The plane» now stationed at the
temporary base at the Medford
air port include: six fast P-40
pursuit ships, two AT-6 advance
trainers and one BT-14 basic
trainer Although the planes are
closely guarded, they may be
viewed from a short distance.
The commanding office,Col. Ira
C. Eaker is an outstanding figure
in army air circles as a holder of
the Distinguished Flying Cross,
as the pilot of the 'Question Mark’
in an endurance refueling record
in 1929 and as the first pilot to
fly blind cross-country in 1936.
He is also known as the co-author
with Maj. Gen H. H. Arnold of
two books, "The Flying Game”
and "Winged Warfare ”
The 20th Pursuit Group is a de­
fensive unit stationed at Hamilton
field, to protect the San Francisco
harbor and the coastal area as far
north as southern Oregon.
On Wednesday Brig. Gen. Will­
iam Ord Ryan, commanding offi­
cer at Hamilton field, arrived in
a big new bomber to spend two
days at the encampment. Col.
William O. Butler, chief of staff
of the 4th air force, also arrived
Wednesday for a short stay with
the 20th Pursuit group.
