Convoy Road Is a Lonely One Says Local Now Man MERRILL It's a lonely old trull, the convoy route between the western and tho eastern hemispheres. No mail reaches the boys who arc responsible for the safe delivery of allied war materials to ports across the seas for weeks and sometimes months. Radios, with the excep tion of the official sets on board the mcrchuntmun, are "taboo." Thcymight be a give away to the enemy subs that lurk like "schools of fish" for the slow moving convoys so the old pho nograph and scratched records get a thorough working out, ac cording to Lester Lodicn, who spent a few days in Klumuth Fulls with his brother, Dennis Lodicn, before reporting back this week to San Francisco for further duty. Lodcin, a gunner's mate 3c class, enlisted a little over a year ago and in the brief span of twelve months completely cir- i clcd the globe, touching in his 1 travels, India, New Zealand, At- riea, Australia and both coasts i of South America. Nonchalantly he mentioned the torpedoing of the boat on which he was returning to Amer ica early in March. He described its sinking'and the rescue by a destroyer of all the crew except one who was asleep near where the torpedo entered the ship. The crew never saw the sub that sent the shell completely through the vessel. It was about 3 a. m. and while the moon shown on the water the deadly missile was sent without noise or fan fare and the undcr-watcr craft went on its way. Possessions of all the crew in cluding mementoes of their shore leaves in those far flung ports went down to Davey Jones lock er. On board were a dozen or so tiny monkeys, small- enough to be carried In the pockets of a shirt that the boys called ba nana rats. These, too, were lost. Lodicn praised highly the Aus tralians whom, he said, seemed to really like the Americans. Australian cities arc much like those in the United States. Their sky scrapers look like the New York shore line as ports of the major cities arc entered. India, particularly Bombay, is a city of beggars. Sailors from U. S. vessels fell over them in the dim light of the black-outs as they sprawled in gutters and across sidewalks. Dozens of little beggars, some of them mere babes, work under a master beg gar who gets the lion's share of what they can wangle out of for eigners. Americans particularly arc sized up as being made of money. Shoe hino beggars double up, one hanging on to each foot of sailor boys who go ashore and shine as they walk, yelling for cash. Crippled beggars try to sell their canes and knives are a common buy. Sailors registered amazement at the deftness with which the Indian wraps his 18 or 18 yards of cloth into a turban and "wom en of India look like bales of cloth walking around." Food on board was plentiful and good and Australian, beef loaded for table use on one voy age was excellent. Travel being necessarily slow, the boys had plenty of time to think "and most of us lived a lot in the past." They dragged a fish line most of the way to India but "only got a strike or two." Laun dry, especially greasy work clothes, was a chore so these were tied to ropes and dragged through the salt water that eventually cleaned them. English coal burning ships were the bane of convoys, the smoke being a trailing signal for the enemy. These sometimes shipped among American oil burners. Lodicn hoped to be sent on destroyer duty on his return from his 30-day furlough, part of which was spent in Minnesota with his family. He was em- ' ployed during part of his real I dence in Klamath county on the D. . Alexander ranch at Merrill. Bulldozer Starts Snow Removal on Rocky Point Road A county, operated bulldozer was sent to the junction of the Rocky Point-Lake o' the Wood? road, and will start snow remov al on the resort stretch, accord ing to John Sarginson, ranger in charge of Rogue River National forest. Heavy snow still covers that section of the mountain area, and melting Is quite late this year. The seven-mile stretch into rang er's quarters is the only section to be cleared. J Camp Rre ! News If after the World War (I) we (had) had an interest in the education of the common man rather than in solely intclectual co-operation on the higher levels, we might have educated him for living, not for death. Dr. Paul Cannon of Stanford University. . . . The "Service Thrlf toes', are still hard at work on their sal vage drive for greases and fats. To date over 175 pounds of high quality grease and futs have been turned in by tha varlout Camp Fire groups of this city Hnd the money received from the greases and fats is being put into various uses by each group.

Do not hesitate to call 15442, Mrs. Matt Kohn Jr., in regard to the fats and greases which you have saved. Firs', sawmill In the U. S. was1 built at York, Maine, in 1623. MORE GOOD NEWS FROM THE- PRODUCTION FRONT A REPORT TO IT IE NAT ION on General Motors' Production, Employment, Economies and Profits TODAY THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST PRODUCER OF WAR MATERIALS During 1942 war production In Gerwral Motor incroased rapidly. Deliveries In lh fourth quarter wer mor than four timet those in the fourth quarter of 1941 and were at an annual rate of more than three billion doilort, h reality, war production increased far more rapidly than dollar value Indicate thonitj to decreases in cost of manufacture. General Motors' interests and energies are concentrated on speeding war production. i THROUGH BATTLE TESTS WITH FLYING COLORS-THE WORLD AROUND General Motors' war products are now being used by both the Army and Navy on batHefronts all over the globe. Reports of their effective ness and, in many cases, of dedded superiority over enemy equip ment are evidence of the quality materials and precision workman ship going into their manufacture. The great variety of equipment fvmbhed b indicated below and there are additional secret weapons which cannot be Bsted. THOU5ANDS OF SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS ASSIST GENERAL MOTORS Continuing peacetime practices, thousands of subcontractors and sup plierscompanies which have demonstrated production efficiency and ability to maintain quality have been utilized by General Motors. This practice has resulted in the spread of approximately one-half of General Motors' wor work to outside firms. Thousands of these subcon tractors and suppliers are firms employing 100 people or less..- - ENGINEERING AND PRODUCTION . KNOWLEDGE PRODUCES RESULTS The experience gained by General Motors over the years has proved of Immense value In war work. This "Know-How" In the fields of engi neering and manufacture has made possible quick conversion to war production, and resulted In simplification of design Improvement of quality and reduction In cost. This not only speeded up the work and got the fob done, but saved manpower and millions of dollars of the tax payers' money. EMPLOYMENT FIGURES HAVE MOUNTED TO AN ALL-TIME HIGH Although more than 50,000 G.M. people have foined the armed forces, employment in the U.S. and Canada rose to 370,000 in 1942 an all time high. This increase involved great problems in training personnel. Hours worked Increased to an average of 45.5 hours per week, compared to 40.7 hours In 1941. General Motors' employment is spread through 107 plants In the U. S. in 46 communities In 13 states and five plants in Canada. TECHNICAL TRAINING AND FIELD SERVICE TO ASSIST THE ARMED FORCES General Motors' training schools for technicians of the armed service! have graduated more than 11,000 men will train approximately 40,000 in 1943, Parts schedules have also been established, and main tenance units set up In combat areas. Technical observers ore stationed at bottle fronts, so that our engineers and mechanics, cooperating with the armed forces, can more rapidly Improve the military effectiveness of weapons. WAGES REACH A NEW PEAK AS RATES AND HOURS INCREASE Along with Increased employment and working hours, wages hove risen substantially. Hourly workers, who averaged $43.41 weekly In 1941, averaged $54.91 In 1942 an Increase of 26. The payroll for both salaried and hourly rate employes in 1942 was $659,314,062. G.M. paid $259,331 to employes for suggestions furthering the war effort. More lhan $7,000,000 was paid to employes through group Insurance it THE 4 AMERICAN WAY WILLW1N SAVING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR s UNCLE SAM-AND YOl As a result of the Industrial "Know-How" reviewed above, manufac turing costs were so reduced that, by the end of 1942, more than $177,000,000 had been voluntarily returned to the government In price reductions, and there will be an additional $183,000,000 In price reductions which wHI apply to subsequent deliveries under existing contracts.
