SCRAP RUBBER PILE
sunt
The city's scrap rubber pile
today stood at 309,000 pounds
within sight of the new 490,000
pound goal set Tuesday by R.
O. Snodgrass, chairman of the
Klamath V1U ri.KKr- H'
drive.
Snodgrass said that Sunday's
Boy Scout drive netted 6000
pounds. He said the Sunday
total plus Monday and Tuesday
collections put the city well over
the original 390,000-pound mark
set for the drive which was to
end June SO.
Snodgrass said the local
committee had received official
notification of President Roose
velt's 10-day extension of the
rubber campaign.
The drive chairman also said
that Sunday's Boy Scout drive
found a number of people not
at home and therefore unable to
contribute to the city-wide sweep
conducted by the scouts com
manding oil distributors' trucks.
He said that arrangements have
since been made with the scout
organization for continuous pick
up upon demand and asked that
all persons with rubber for sale
or donation to call the scout of
fice at 6918.
IN PLANE CRASH
(Continued From Page One)
Troopers said the search was
continuing for others.
All the bodies recovered were
burned beyond recognition, the
troopers said.
Mrs. Lawrence Runyon, wife
of the mine superintendent at
Premier, said she saw a large
plane in trouble shortly after
noon.
Other witnesses told troopers
that they heard a roaring noise
as the plane nosed near the hill
tops. It appeared, they said, as
if the pilot were trying to
straighten out the plane.
He apparently succeeded but
at that moment the wing fell
and the crash followed.
On a belt buckle owned by
one victim the officers deciph
ered the name Erwin Stratman,
a duffle bag bore the name of
Floyd Hyet and the flyleaf of
a book had the name of Guy S.
Hill. ' : r
Most of the victims were Iden
tified as army personnel by
their charred uniforms, the offi
cers said. '
One of the recovered memen
tos was a half-burned postcard
which read:
"All that a birthday can hold
of joy that's what I am wish
ing for my dear boy."
it was signed "Pop."
It is not bad luck for a black
