War bondi purchased by
employees. 10 per cent of
payroll
: By A. M. COLLIER
Klamath County War Savings Chairman
' 'The treasury department has given Klamath county a
special job to do in the next 45 days. The job starts today.
It is covered by the theme, "Top That 10 Per Cent by New
Year's."; What does this mean to us? Simply this. 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.

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. ' -, .

WHEREAS, the state of Oregon has been bombed from the air

WHEREAS, the United States treasury Oregon war bond staff

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND I SO PROCLAIM
that, beginning today and up to December 7, the anniversary of
the first year of our participation in this second World war, be

Klamath Women Set to Go
Over Top in National Drive
. Women at War week! Novem
ber 22 to 28!
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. Pat Brown
will, be the .soloist,: end Marie
Ob'enchain - the accompanist.
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! : . '

"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."

Lehman could not be reached

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.
