SALEM ALSO HAS Salem, Ore., In the vicinity of Camp Adair, is having housing trouble much as is being exper ienced here, according to the following story in Friday's Issue of the Salem Capital Journal: "Two telephones at the Salem Chamber of Commerce are busy almost constantly with persons inquiring about house rental op portunities. Telegrams and let ters are being received every day, mainly from army officers. or others connected with the military service, and who have assignments (or duty either at Camp Adair or the Salem air port. One young woman at the chamber is doing practically nothing else but handle inquir ies and listings. Today came a telegraphic communication from Lieutenant Melvin B. Sellers at Oakland, Calif., saying he had been as signed to Camp Adair and would be here July 20 with his wife and one-year-old son. He gave the chamber authority to rent him a 5 or 8-room house, furn ished and offered a maximum of $65. Lieutenant Sellers is just one of many. "The demand Is at an acute stage for fair. It's practically Impossible to get ordinary busi ness dane at the chamber these days." CONDITION FAIR Salem, July 20 (JP) The condition of Lowell Reiners, 14, son of L-. Reiners of Salem, who was shot accidentally yesterday while removing his gun from the family car, was described as fair today by hospital authori ties.

An Emergency Statement to the People of the United States . i. l. i v -v VP I ie m b M J i i jt t i How can you help? The answer is on this page. I hope every American citizen will read it and act on it. D. 0. NtlSON. CHAJUMAN, WAS PtOOUCTION IOAIB A crisis exists in our war production program which can be solved only by the patriotic cooperation of the American people. We are faced with a serious shortage of steel scrap, Vubber and other vital materials. This shortage must be filled. By "scrap" we mean the ordinary Junk which today it lying in the barnyards and in the gullies of farms; in the basements, attics and garages of homes and store throughout the country. The tteel induttry operate on f he baii of half-and-half about 50 per cent metal from pig iron and SO per cent remelted icrap metal. Therefore, about 50 per cent ot every tank', every thip, every submarine and every gun it made of terap iron and $t eel. The steel industry has been rapidly stepping up its production from 67,000,000 tons in 1940 to a record brenking 83,000,000 tons in 1941. Production in 1942 is already ahead of 1941, but we need to get production up to the industry's full capacity of 90,000,000 tons total equal to the output of therest of the world combined. This volume of production cannot be attained or in creased unless an additional 6,000,000 tons of scrap iron and steel is obtained promptly We are faced with the fact that some steel furnaces have been allowed to cool down and that many of fhem are operating from day to day and hand to mouth, due only to the lack of scrap. The rubber situation is also critical. In spite of the recent rubber drive, there is a continuing need for large quantities of scrap rubber. We are collecting every possible pound of scrap from the factories, arsenals and shipyards; we are speeding up the flow of material from automobile graveyards; we are tearing up abandoned railroad tracks and bridges, but unless we dig out an additional 6,000,000 tons of steel and great quantities of rubber, copper, brass, rinc and tin, our boys may not get all the fighting weapons they need in time. Fortunately, the material exists in America's great t'mine above the ground." There is enough iron and steel on farms alone, if used with other materials, to make: Twice as many battleship as then arm in the whole world today, or Enough 2000-pound bombs to drop three per minute from big bombers intessantly for more than three years. Locating and collecting this scrap is going to require a canvass of every house and every farm. Even one old ihovel will help make 4 hand grenade. We have set up the machinery for this, but it is not perfect. It is a problem that can be licked only by American resourcef ulness, American organization ability, American muscle and American will to win. We now have in every state a State Salvage Committee of volunteers working directly under the governor. - Under these state committees we have county com mittees and local committees. We have special industrial committees working with executives of plants in 421 industrial centers. In rural communities we have the County War Boards. These committees can tell you the quickest way to get your Junk into action. v In behalf of the governor and the state committee we urge every committee to organize itself into a band of "Salvage Commandos." You can either sell your scrap to a Junk dealer or you can give it to a charity, which in turn will sell it to a Junk dealer who performs an important function by sorting it, .grading it, packing it and shipping it to the right place. We urge, local charitie and civic organisation to cooperate with the Local Salvage Committee and devise a plan of action and collection. We urge the scrap dealer to cooperate as fast as he can in the collection and shipment of materials. We urge industrial executive to appoint Salvage Managers who have both the responsibility and authority to salvage obsolete machinery, tools and dies. We urge every farmer and every householder in America to act at once. Go over your premises with a fine tooth comb. If you have already turned in your scrap, look again you'll probably find more. If you do not have enough of your own to warrant someone coming after it. form a neighborhood pool, or take it yourself to the nearest collection point. If there is an old heater or boiler in your basement tori he avy for you to move, get your neighbors to help you. This is a People's job. It is something you can do with; out interfering with other war work or personal duties. It is not enough to pile up a little stuff and expect somebody to come and get it. Most of the work is being done by patriotic volunteers with inadequate facilities. They need your help in collecting scrap material in the largest possible amounts and in getting it to the right place. It i a direct end personal obligation to all of our boys on ell fronts. Yoa may think, "My little bit" won't help', bat your "little bit" multiplied thousands and millions of times can create a mountain of raw material which can actually turn the tide. The situetion i serious. Your help is needed now. HOW SCRAP IRON AND STEEL GO TO WAR The steel used in our war machines is made by melting together 1. Pig iron (about 50) 2. Scrap generated in the steel plant in the' process of steelmaking (about 2S) 3. Scrap purchased from outside Junk sources (about 25) We have plenty of iron ore to make the pig iron needed. But our furnaces operate faster when there is plenty of scrap to mix with the pig iron. This so-called "scrap" which goes Into the furnaces to make the steel for tanks, ships and guns is actually refined steel with most impurities removed. Some of the finest quality steels are made 100 from scrap. The iron and steel scrap which you collect is bought by! the steel mills from scrap dealers at established government-! controlled prices.
