cent, and Lane county with 111
per cent.

its sincere thanks to Myrle
Adams, chairman of this drive,

an easy drive to put over, be
cause it was on during the
Christmas holidays, and at a time
when many of the large pur
chasers had already bought their
quota of bonds for the year of
1944. Despite these obstacles,
the drive was very successful,
and Klamath county reached and
exceeded its quota on every type
of bond," according to Paul
Skeen, president of the Lions
club.
The citizens of Klamath coun
ty purchased bonds amounting to
$1,516,600, and "E': bond pur
chases totaled $1,218,900 of this
sum. Corporations purchased
$2,325,100, making a grand total
of $3,841,700, or 123.9 per cent
of the quota.

Rep. Stockman (R-Ore.) suggests
that leaders of the armed forces
"do some selecting and drafting
of manpower within their own
. organizations."
The Oregon farmer also told
the house yesterday that, in a'
recent trip to Europe ne saw
young Belgians and Frenchmen
idling their time away who
would seem to be better off fight-.
t ing for their country. .
Stockman did not object,
specifically, to the drafting of
' farm labor as proposed recently
by the administration. He said,
however, that "eaclr man should
' be assigned to the task where
he .is best fitted and where he
can render the greatest service
to his country."
',: : "It is time," he declared, "that
we take inventory of our re
, sources and eliminate this ex.
travagance of our military lead
ers. Otherwise we are heading
toward impoverishment of both
our industrial life and our young
mannooa.
