Here are some other parts of tha story, which will grow as Use drive continues, showing esti mated collections so far In other states or towns or cities: Alabama: Mobile, 800,000 pounds, or 6 pounds per capita; Auburn, about 455,822 pounds, or 881 per capita. Arizona: 30,200,000 pounds on reports from 13 of 14 counties of this basis per. capita collec tion was 63 pounds. 'California: San Francisco, about 7,014,432 pounds or 12 per capita. Oregon: State salvage commit tee,, with collections still going, on, predicted state 100,000-ton quota has been exceeded. Utah: 25,-500,000 pounds, or ' about 46 per capita. Vermont: Montpeller, 143,700 pounds, or 18 per capita. - Wyoming: 5,000,000 pounds, or 10 per capita. PORTLAND, Oct 7 W Of ficials handling the current scrap drive in Oregon said today tha 35,000 tons reported by Claude Sersanous, state chairman,' was computed on the basis of reports from the first seven counties in tha state to announce totals. They said that the first seven reported almost 8000 tons col lected since September 38. Since soma of the counties re porting are relatively small and since they do not include the state's most populous county Multnomah Sersanous figured 1000 tons per county for all 38 counties would be reasonable. This would make 38,000, tons but to be on the conservative side he trimmed this estimate 11,000 tons and reported 25,000 tons already collected. Actually, the scrap drive men aid, the collection probably runs over 88,000 tons. They believe there are 25,000' tons in Port land scrap heaps alone, cone of wnicn has been reported vet. They also pointed . to ' reports from Salem yesterday indicating a total or more than 10,000 tons. FUNERAL 3TOOK BRIAN CAMPBELL JR. Funeral service for tha lot.

JUNK DEALERS HELD VITAL TO The importance of the Junk dealer In the national scrap metal drive, an integral part ot the war effort, was emphasised here Wednesdoy by W. W. Bushnnll, salvage inspector for the WrB auto graveyard divi sion. In recent public statements the government, conscious that any misunderstanding of the position of the scrap dealers might slow up this effort and cripple war production, has ex plained that the scrap dealers have a vital (unction in getting scrap from the country to the mills. There are more than 70 dif ferent classifications of iron and steel scrap alone. Metal scrap comes in as many differ ent sizes and shapes ss there are pieces of scrap. If the steel mills had to ac cept scrap directly from the salvage depots, they would have to do a sorting and grad ing job at which junk dealers are more skilled because that is a part of their business. The scrap dealers must meet gov ernment requirements In doing this and there is a large field force out to inspect the salvage and yard conditions. The scrap dealers operate under price ceilings, and they cannot hoard scrap. ' Bushnell explained that the government has asked every scrap dealer to set. a monthly goal of 33 13 per cent-in ex cess of his average monthly production for the first half of the year. M and S Bag com pany of Klamath Falls was this week given an award of merit for making this quota in Sep tember, Bushnell announced. There are two junk dealers and six auto wrecking yards In Klamath Falls, Bushnell said. They Tiave Suned up their oper ations to the nationwide acrap effort SEPTEMBER HEAT F September was hotl This was the terse statement of the US weatherman who was able to give out information one week following the first day of October for the preced ing month.
