Subcontracting for War Materials
GOOD news from the home front Is an OFM report
that anti-aircraft guns of the three principal types
' are now being turned out by a wide variety of civilian
plants and service arsenals. This program is being car
ried on under an extensive system of subcontracting by
which hundreds of factories provide parts for assembly.
There is in evidence an attempt to make more general
use of the various machine shops and small plants scat
tered over the country in the production of war materials.
The combined capacities of these establishments is tre
mendous, and if they can be properly brought into a co
ordinated effort, they will count much in accomplishing
the emergency production needs.
St Several meetings have been held in various northwest
cities at which local plant operators have had oppor-

" ' VjKl.M 11.11 UVClUUlCIlb UIVU.
Such a meeting should be arranged, if possible, at Klamath
Falls for the benefit of the business and industrial people
of this general area.
THE young men who have won the junior chamber of
commerce honor award for civic service received a
noteworthy addition Tuesday evening in the person of
Don Drury.
f Mr. Drury is a comparative newcomer to the com
munity, but since coming here to manage the Kalpine
Plywood corporation he has given generously to civic
service and has assumed many important responsibilities
in that connection.
The honor accorded him by the junior chamber was
well deserved.
