We Must Fill the Gap!
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.

Election Board Vacancies
YESTERDAY we commented that: the election, eould
I not be postponed because of war or weather. 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

we have been in this war only

Of one thing we can all be

The second front should not
be instituted a moment before
our generals think they can win

Further evidence of the
