By midnight, December 31st, every wage earner in this county roust be on a war savings plan and converting at least 10 per cent of his pay every pay day into war bonds. So that we may be better pre pared for the job, let me give you a few basic facts about the War Savings program generally, nd particularly with reference ,. to the part payroll savings plans play In this dramatic story of War financing. , ...As New Year's day, 1942, dawned, there were 700,000 per sons on payroll war. savings plans throughout all America. The monthly deductions totalled $2,000,000. It was not until June 15th that the "Everybody 10 Per Cent" .movement began. The movement came about natural ly. It became apparent to every? one that this ' was to be the roughest, toughest war in our history and that it would cost us more In money, more in ev erything, to win it. This nation has been through many ordeals, the fight for freedom, the fight for. union and fight for democ racy but no one of these or deals tops the. ordeal which we must undergo.-. : ' , Workers started putting more nd more into war bonds regu larly to. build up a powerful home front to back our fighting boys. All of us were determined that our boys should have suffi cient weapons.. . ; Payroll savings plans, mush roomed everywhere. Today, less than 11 months later, 22,000,000 workers are on payroll savings plans and the deductions aggre gate $300,000,000 monthly. More than 148,000 firms, of which 25, 000 can boast 10 per cent of pay roll" deduction, proudly fly the Minute Man flag. In this county over 95 firms are on payroll plans. . ; t v The treasury ; department es timates that there are 30,000,000 individual workers in the nation 3 .1 . .1 , .jjii: i mm um, uictc js an auaiuonai $200,OOQ,000 . monthly income irtill .to : be allotted for War Bonds. " Thus the Job of the next 45 days, for the nation is -to enroll sjn additional. 8,000,000 workers into war savings plans and to push, the percentage of deduc tions irom tne current .8 per cent bbve the 10 per cent mark. ': Many of us in Klamath-county are already topping the 10 per ioent mark as individuals. Let us do it by industry,- by business nd by, cities and towns'. "Top that 10 per cent" means what it says. Put more into War Bonds, Never get that satisfied feeling. our fighting men do not have it, That satisfied feeling would nev er have given us a Coral Sea or a Midway. JoBlTIl By MAYOR JOHN HOUSTON As mayor, of Klamath Falls I ask all our citizens to take an active part in the campaign of the War Savings staff of the .treasury department to enroll every worker in a War Savings tfiuii pian Dy jNew rear s day, .With personal deductions to the lirf)it'J each person's ability . The treasury department's slo gan, "Top That 10 Per Cent by New Year's," will be taken lit erally here. Most of our indus tries and businesses have al ready installed payroll savings plans. Our job is to see to it that more than 10 per cent of our gross payroll as a community is being, converted into War Bonds every- pay day. Let us dedicate ourselves to this new task. The next 45 days will be fateful ones in this com wunity. I feel sure that we will fake this opportunity to show enemy that after nearly a vear of war our morale is high er; - our resources greater and our spirit of sacrifice stronger. .1 proclaim the period between November 16 and January-1, 1943, as dedicated to the achievement of the goal set by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau and ask that labor and management devise means toward making our part a nota ble contribution in the winning of the war.

Throughout the nation this coming week will be observed by American women as ' their time to dig deep into apron pock ets, dig deep so that sons, broth ers, husbands and sweethearts will have equipment with which to fight for that . thing which women hold dear: America's freedom. ' ' - In Klamath-county a goal: of $75,000 has been set by Andrew Collier, chairman of war savings. This staggering . sum . has .been fairly well .whittled down. to the point where Klamath county women think' they see an "over; the-tbp" drive. Seldom has there been more interest shown in a project than in-Women at War week. Mrs. Franklin L. Weaver Is Klamath county chairman of the women's division. Not for - just this week but for" the duration. Her committee is made up of Mrs. Phil Brixner,. Mrs. Leslie W. Peate and - Mrs. Jacques J; Steiger. All women's organiza tions in the county have been contacted and they've pledged themselves to see this through, and then some. One of the outstanding features of the week will be the big com munity sing to which all fami lies of the city and suburban area are urged to, attend. The sing will be held in Klamath Union high school auditorium, Friday, night at 8 ofclock, No vember 27, night after, Thanks giving; Charles Stanfleld will' lead the singing.

Those attending will not be soli cited for war bonds- or stamps but there will be a booth in the hall for those wishing to partici pate. . ' - - '' "" - : Boys and - girls of ' Klamath county, ' whose dimes, pennies and nickels put into war stamps reached a staggering sum last school year, are asked to double their -purchases this week as a Thanksgiving gesture to Uncle Sam. - Theatres will feature bond and stamp buying this .week and sales will be made on the street next Saturday, ,, Mr. Collier, county.-chairman, had , this to - say in regard to Women at War week: , "I am well aware of the con; tribution of women; to the war savings program; Klamath coun ty women are planning. a series of special events to sell the great est single week's volume of war bonds and stamps since the Japa nese struck at Pearl Harbor. Now we are calling upon' women In our war Industries and in our business life and-in our civilian goods factories to assume even a greater responsibility-In the war savings program: : I venture to say that no war drive could be a success without support of the women." , ; ' ' . So now It Is upf to the, women of Klamath county , to reach the $75,000 goal set by. Mr. Collier, and to do it so that that sum will stand, out as an example of the willingness of women to co operate and support the war ef fort 100 per cent. Mrs. 'Weaver has outlined a full week's pro gram In which all members of the family can take part. Pen nies from the penny bank, whicl ine country jias wanted in cir culation for some time past, may go "Into the purchase of 10 and 25-cent stamps, she, suggests. Larger sums may go ; toward Type E bonds, or larger. ; Women of Klamath county, put over your Women at War week drive. Reach the $75,000 goal by next Saturday and then KEEP on BUYING! : . ' OF DIE - "Organized labor in Klamath Falls and Oregon has been called upon to add another stir ring chapter to its long and hon orable record of being in the forefront of every movement de signed to strengthen and protect our democracy," declared G. C. Tatman, member of the state ex ecutive committee, of the AFL today. The all-out support of his organization was pledged by Tat man upon the opening oi the treasury department's drive to have every wage earner in the country enrolled for at least 10 per cent deduction of his pay for War Bonds by the first of the year. "Many union treasuries have exchanged their cash balances for War Bonds and the ranks of union members now investing at least 10 per cent of their Income in BOnds can be reckoned In the millions, yet the job is far from done," said Tatman. When every man and woman who holds a union card is investing at least 10 per cent of his or her pay in War Bonds then and only then, can we sit back and point to our accomplishment.' . "In our effort to put jnto ac tion the slogan of .the payroll savings drive, 'Top That Ten Per Cent By New Year's,' we are going to tackle the job on two fronts. Our first objective is to see that every worker is enrolled under payroll savings. Then we will devote our energies to bringing the total percentage of deduction up .to at least 10 per cent of gross payroll. "We are all in this war. This Is a time of grave emergency. The ideals under which we have lived and prospered, the liberty which we have taken for grant ed, now, because we are threat ened with their loss, become very dear to us. We must pre; vent their loss. "We on the home front must finance the battle front. Ten per cent of our weekly tfay Is a small amount to Invest in the security, liberty and opportunity which our country has given us. A small amount to protect the gains made by organized labor during the past century. -'"A 10 per cent weekly Invest ment in War Bonds is a sus tained investment in- our coun try. For you and yours, the divi dends are great .-. . in dollars, and in democracy." FDR Expected to Name Gov. Lehman '. To World-Wide Post NEW YORK, Nov. 21 M5) The New York Times reported today that President Roosevelt was expected to name retiring Governor Herbert H. Lehman of New York to a world-wide .post as administrator of feeding, clothing and rehabilitating coun tries friendly to or occupied by the United Nations. Lehman could not be reached for comment Immediately. ; The article said the post "Is one of such magnitude" that it is belieVed the effort would be un dertaken jointly by the United Nations, but with . the United States, as the wealthiest, bearing the largest burden. Lehmsrn wpuld not have any, domestic food responsibilities. "I am a carpenter," writes John W. Suit of Hot Springs, Arkansas. "I buy a $25 war bond twice a- month out of my $62.50 check. My family of four thinks it is the best investment in the world." Are you doing your share? Top that 10 per cent by New Year's!. ... ip on TOUCHES OFF BIG CAMPAIGN . Buy the Battleship Oregon. That's the slogan for all Ore gon citizens for the period from today until December 7, the an niversary of Pearl Harbor, when Oregon hopes to give the axis something to remember besides Pearl Harbor. Andy Collier, Vern Owens and Myrle Adums are back from Sa lem, whore they attended a con ference of war savings, workers to set off the "Buy the Battle ship Oregon" campaign. The Idea for this campaign centers around the old Oregon, which Is being scrapped for mili tary use of Its steel and Iron, Oregon proplo aro asked to con tribute $10,000,000 In war bonds in this period, enough to buy another shir the size of the Ore gon and fit It for Uncio Sam's service. If Oregon raises $10,000,000, Klamath county must Invest up wards of half a million dollars In war bonds In the period be fore December 7. ' That's a big order, but war savings officials believe it can be done. Every purchase, on pay roll allotment or otherwise, goes Into this quota. It means an intensified effort throughout the .country and in dividual purchases to the point of sacrifice. But, as Andy Col lier points out, it is really no sacrifice, for it is all saving and It is the home front part of win ning the war. WHOA, MR. HENDERSON NEW CASTLE.
