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

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.
Portland Out
Approximately 80 per cent of
Portland's boniea miuc supply
was cut off today and the Port
land area operators diverted
their fluid this morning into
powdered milk plants there and
': at McMinnville and to cheese
manufacturers at Battleground,
Wash.
: However, whole milk is to be
supplied hospitals, babies and
invalids in Portland.
At Corvallis producers are
meeting tonight to decide on
strike action though at present
. bottling and distribution is nor
; mal. Salem's supply was almost
. completely, cut off today and
producers met with city officials
to draft plans to care for babies
and sick persons.
Grants Pass producers are
moving more slowly and busi
ness is being conducted as usual.
A spokesman of Rogue river val-
lay dairymen said that no strike
action would be taken for a few
days there.
The OPA order affected all
western Oregon counties, but

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."
