Klamath Still Far From Goal In Red Cross Drive Klamath county's 1946 quota of $43,100, largest peacetime mark set by the American Red Cross for this area, was and is still far from the goal. This morning the amount collected had reached but $8535.51, Chairman Robert A. Thompson reported. Local folks were urged to dig and dig deep for this worthy cause and it was hoped that workers would be able to com plete contacts by the end of the week and reach the quota. Four additional contributions made members in the $100 club. Donations of $100 each came from Lee Hendricks, Mary L. Moore, Swan Lake Moulding Action On Milk Issue Postponed (Continued from Page One) going into that commodity is $1.05, whereas dairymen in that area have been getting 95 cents and the OPA's offer puts the ; price up to $1.01. Here, dairymen pointed out, . diversion to sweet cream ship ments will mean a slight loss to milk producers but that would be partially overcome by not having to conform with strict grade A requirements.

Following is a letter received from Missouri by the Klamath chapter of the Red Cross: "I realize I'm a couple of days late in getting this money to you, but my check didn't get here un til just yesterday. "I want to thank you very greatly for your assistance in getting me home. One might say that this was the best home coming a fellow could ever have. It's a great feeling to know that you have been suc cessful after so long and hnrd a venture into every danger a mn can face. Now I've reached the end of the trail, so to speak, and 1 m pack where l belong. Again I want to thank you and say that you were wonderful to ex tend me this favor. You may be assured that I will stand ready to help the Red Cross at any time. I sincerely hope, this epistle finds you all in the best of health and may you remain on such a status. Sincerely yours, G. H. W. P. S. It would be a pleasure to hear from you." Eyre To Manage Capitol Journal SALEM, March 26 (JP) Ap pointment of David W.
