NEED FOR BIG
P
E
"Uncle Sam wants 17,000,000
tons of scrap Iron and steel by
January 1 and he wants 47,500
of those tone to come from the
cities and farms of the state of
Oregon," said Ralph H. Mitch
ell,, executive secretary of the
state salvage committee who
was a Klamath Falls visitor
Wednesday, conferring with
Robert McCambrldgc, county
salvage committee chairman.
"This, I fear, is going to be a
long war," continued Mitchell,
talking to the Herald-News. "1
hope X am wrong about that
prediction but in this connec
tion, short or long, the war pro
duction factories need scrap
and need it badly. Also old rub
ber and kitchen fats must be
collected as rapidly as possible.
"Klamath county has done a
wonderful job already In 'this
great salvage program but we
must not rest on our laurels.
America thi first six months
of this year, or since Dec. 7
last year, has collected some
16,000,000 tons of scrap metals
but more than 80,000,000 tons
of iron and steel is needed this
year to build the necessary
number of planes, jeeps, tanks,
shins, bombers and to make am
munition, without which this
war cannot be won. However,
we are going to win; there is
no mistake about that.
"Millions of the best of our
youth have gone and are going
into a fray, the most brutal,
most barbarian in the history
,of the world and it is up to the
people of Klamath and all our
other counties to give our
young warriors the where-with-
all with whlcn. to win wis iigni
for freedom, for liberty and
peace once more.
"We cannot sit idly by and
say we are too busy with our
own', affairs' to be bothered
about getting this scrap in to
the various scrap depots. If we
continue to be complacent and
smug unto ourselves and con
tinue to say 'it can't happen
here' that will- be just the time
that it will happen here.
"The Japs already are at our
doors in the Aleutians, alto
gether too near to be comforta
ble and the sooner we realize
the critical situation in which
we have been thrown, the bet
ter for these United States. We
must awaken from our long Rip
Vanwinkle sleep of 20 years
and do something and that
something is to get together all
the scrap we can, so sorely
needed by Uncle Sam for guns,
and flying fortresses with
which to bomb Tokio and Ber
lin for that is Just what we
have to do to win this war."
Mitchell paid high i compli
ment to the Klamath salvage
committee and its work and
urged no laxity In the program
for the duration. He returned
to Salem last night. -

HIS SLIGHT DROP
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (P
The agricultural department re
ported today that the 1042 lamb
crop totaled about 32.60,000
head, or about 2 per cent be
low the last year's record crop.
The reduction from last year
was due, the department said,
to a smaller crop in tho western
sheep states, where weather
conditions were said to have
been unfavorable at lambing
time. The crop in the so-called
native or eastern states was
larger.
The crop In the western sheep
states was estimated at 20,803,
000 head, compared with 21,
664,000 In 1941. The crop in the
native lamb states was estimat
ed at 11,457,000 head compared
with 11,190,000 lust year.
The department said the num
ber of breeding ewes on Janu
ary 1 totaled 37,342,000 head,
compared with 36,704,000 a
year earlier.
The lamb crop by major pro
ducing states last year and this,
