J. Culey of Weston As has long been the custom with Seattle, November 13 — Net profit on contracts for navy construction work in Alaska is only about two per cent of the total cost of the work, Captain R. E. Thomas, civil engi neer corps, U. S. navy, has announc ed. Captain Thomas, who is public works officer of the thirteenth naval district and is in charge of all Alas kan construction, also stated that the gross fee paid to contractors is approximately 3.72 per cent of the total money spent. Because of office expenses, inter est, taxes and other fixed charges which the contractor" rather than the government pays, this amount is pared down to the two per cent figure. Captain Thomas pointed out that all contracts fer construction of na val air stations and other projects in Alaska are of the cost-plus-a-fixed- fee type, in which the fee paid to the contractor must include not only the latter’s full profit, but many Items of non-reimbursable expense regardless of the cost of the work. The original congressional auth orization for building the air sta tions at Sitka. Kodiak and Dutch Harbor limited the fee which could be paid to contractors to 10 per cent of the .total cost. This was later reduced to six per cent. Actually, as Captain Thomas stat ed, the fee agreed upon runs only to a gross 3.72 per cent of the cost of the work, and to a net profit of approximately two per cent, A d ria n Portland, Nov. 13 (Special) — For the month of October, the navy re crulting bureau assigned a quota of 270 to the Portland district. In spite of the stimulus of the American Le gion recruiting campaign, the dis trict enlisted only 241 men. 29 short f the mark. However, according to Lieutenant G. F. DeGrave, officer in charge of navy recruiting in this district, this is a very good record In comparison with these of the recruiting stations in ether parts of the country. DeGrave emphasized the fact that during the month of September, the last for which returns are available, this district enlisted more men Into the service, in proportion to popu lation, than any other area in the country, with the exception of Des Moines territory, where the navy advertising program gave added im- l>etus to the month's recruiting. As the program had not at that time teen inaugurated in this territory. Portland’s showing was made only through the efforts of the recruiting staff. The lieutenant is confident that with the advertising campaign now in effect locally. Portland will soon regain the place held during the last fiscal year, when this district led . e entire country, r . . It :s in this territory have n ; fee. t by Lieutenant De- v: he has received a letter - ! congratulations upon their show ing from the bureau of navigation. ---------- ■> ---------- F’armers Asked For Scrap Iron — — Oregon farmers have been asked to p rtlcipate in the nationwide TUNE YOUR CAR NOW!

Farms of the United States are considered one of the mpst important sources o f scrap supplies, which are now urgently needed for use by steel manufactur ers for combining with pig Iron. Robert B. Taylor of Adams, chair man of the Oregon USDA defense board, is asking the cooperation of all county boards in carrying on a drive for the collection of scrap in connection with the current cam paign to see that usable machinery is repaired early for use next year. A graduated scale of prices for farm scrap throughout the United States, based on distance frcir. con suming centers, has been set up so that farmers will know approxi mately what they will receive for their material at the various assem bling points. For Oregon a price of»61 cents per hundred pounds at Portland has been established. The amount received by the farmers, however, will be this twice less the cost of shipping to Portland and the cost of preparing the scrap for shipment to the steel mills, the lat ter being appreximately 12 cents per hundred pounds. The prices paid would not alone be enough to insure the thorough combing c f the rural areas for scrap, points out Chairman Taylor, but farmers will profit in other ways by helping prr.vide an adequate supply of iron and steel scrap. I f the flow of scrap is not sufficient to meet needs, steel output will be further reduced, which will mean that farm ers wHl encounter still more d iffi culty In obtaining machinery and other steel products. Besides, it will be a patriotic service. The O. S. C. extension service is cooperating by urging county agents and 4-H club organizations to help in the scrap collection campaign in every way possible. Going Away for Thanksgiving?
