THE part that scrap plays in war production must be fully understood by the people of the Midland Empire If they are to do wholeheartedly what is necessary in the jcurrent drive to pick up this metal. Here is the authentic story, approved by the conser vation division of the war production board : When an article ! worn out, obsolete or other wise useless it is still far from worthless. Then it becomes scrap, and scrap is one of America's most vital needs today. ', For this scrap the miscellaneous Junk that clut ters basements and lies around farms and factories, is actually a raw material. And it is necessary to the forcing of victory. The notion that America is a land of flowing plenty dies hard. We have become used to- waste and to extravagant use of our resources.' But today's tremendous war production calls for more materials than we can possibly supply unless we stop this waste and recover the vast, hidden stockpile of crap that has accumulated over the years.. As an example of the critical importance of this .work, consider steel production. Steel is normally made by melting together! 1. Pig iron (about SO per cent). 2. Scrap generated in the steel plant in the pro cess of steelmaking. (about 25 per cent). 3. Scrap purchased from outside junk sources, (about 25 per cent). Steel can be made 100 per cent, from pig iron. Or it can be made 100 per cent from scrap, and still be highest-quality steel. For so-called scrap is actually refined steel, with most impurities removed. But the important thing to remember is that every ton of steel scrap takes the place of one ton of pig iron, and to make one ton of pig iron takes 2 tons of iron ore, 1.2 tons of coal, and Va ton of Kmestone. 1 :"; , Our annual war steel capacity i 90,000,000 tons. Only -scrap can make it possible to reach and pass this figure. For to supply this tremendous amount ' of steel without scrap would require: 180,000,000 tons of iron ore, . 108,000,00 tons of coal, and 45,00,000 tons of limestone. - There are simply not enough mining, transpor tation and plant facilities to supply and handle all this tonnage. SCRAP MUST FILL THE GAP. That is the story. The people of the Klamath country are asked to help fill that gap. They can do it now by bringing in scrap. If it is at all possible to move the scrap to collection centers or junk dealers, do not wait for a "pick-up" by the scrap committees. Trucks and manpower are not easy to find for these pick-ups. Bring it in yourself, if you can possibly do so. : The need for scrap is pjain. If anyone raises the ques tion, quote the WPB-approved statement above. These are the facts. VY7ASHINGTON, Oct, 8 A lofty military minority (not Mr. Roosevelt) hu written per sonal latter to inma aanatnr taking much more optimistic view oi we American war posi tion than ha been erarestad publicly by officials in speeches. This letter contests specifical ly tne view set lortn by Lieu tenant General Somervell, in his St. Lnili rnrh , that wa ara losing the war. General Somer vell s exact woras were: "The wr has gone none too well. So far we've lost nesrly every malar struggle. If continue to lose a little while lonffer. it will be too late tn uv ou;eives, America ana civilisa tion. Tha letter nraaanta a rhanaa of official emnhasis. alnna tha line suggested by Mr. Roosevelt, aiier nut trip, wnen ne stepped aown nam on an nix ms-offi clsls who hive said the war is being lost. Although the president named no names, amona the eminent toes that muit hava fait tha erunch. a&lda from Snmarvpll'i were those of Navy Secretary Knox, various assistant secretar ies,, and, I believe, even the right-hand man, Harry Hopkins MILITARY PICTURE Up to now, officials have tended to blacken un tha dark side of evenr nietura-mihlirlv for the ostensible' purpose of goaaing uie people to greater ef fort. Mr. Roosevelt's tour seems to have convinced him that Una is no longer necessary or de- sOTDie, u it ever was. When you look at it right side UD. the itrictlv. milltarv nirhm is by no means dismal.

Pain fully aware of that fact is County Clerk Mae K. Short, who is having a dickens of a time finding people willing to work on the election boards November 3. . In-,Past years, people have eagerly volunteered for this bit of civic service, and Mrs. Short has been em barrassed sometimes by having more determined appli cants than she could find places for. This year, she is embarrassed by having more vacancies than applicants. Here is an opportunity for a day of service to a public cause by people who feel they would like to-be "doing oujucuiuig j.ux uieir country, une -worx is interesting Jinn PflRV.

Wenaichee Closes Shop to Harvest Big Apple Crop WENATCHEE, Oct. 8 (JP) This city was closed yes terday, every store and of fice, and virtually all white collar workers business men, professional men, clerks and stenographers were in s trees picking big red apples, s. Every Monday. Wednesday and Friday from now on "for the duration" the stores will . be closed. Cliff Godfrey, member of the mayor's spe cial committee, said today.

Further evidence of the thoroughness of the Klamath campaign ' comes from Wyatt Padgett, principal of the Alta- mont eiemeniarv school, who found the students at his school really mean business in the school scrap drive. Padfett obtained a nlara nf pipe for plumbing repairs in his nouse. e piacea u on the desk in his Office, but xnnn found It necessary to hide the nlrur from eager scrap collectors who want- ea to tase it away to the school ptie.
