the war production board. expressed
it thus:
This is a problem that can be
licked only by American initiative
! American organizational ability
American muscle, and America will
to VIM
There is no special purpose now
in fixing the blame" for the poten-
TALLY disastrous lag in scrap metal
collections. The people as rule
simply report that they have not
been impressed with the necessity
1t may be that governmental and
Civilian Defense agencies have
been too vague in drawing up real
istic plans for the organized collec-
ton of scrap. 1t may be that news
papers and other media for dlspen-
sing information have not placed
sufficient emphasis on the NEED
for more metal scrap and the fact
that the need is NOT BEING MET
And then, too. it's a hard, I'M
glamorous job to collect Junk.
In many ways its a thankless task
BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE
The main detectives are:
|. To canvass in person every
home. every farm, every mine, ev-
cry business establishment, and ev-
cry institution.
2. To provide the necessary man
power and transportation for an
initial cleanup and to set up
methods for periodic and depend
able collection for the duration OF
the war.
The Salvage Program is not one
week or one-month campaign any
more than this is a one-Week war
Salvage is an about continuing eff
fort and must be organized as such.
This means that every possible
source of scrap must be PERIODICAL
ly canvassed It means the educa-
ton and the day-to-day coopera-
ton of every man. woman and child
in the country 1t means that we
can not afford to relax after single
drive
This is the peoples job. 1t is a
tangible task that any one can per-
form to help win this war without
interfering with other war work or
with personal responsibilities.
Talk this over with your family
Talk it over with your neighbors
Talk it over with members of your

Were going after that $1,000
prize" said Paul Church, Lincoln
County scrap drive chairman, as he
pulled a big circular from his peck
ct Tuesday He referred to the two
prizes being offered by the Spokane
Spokesman-Rev to the Inland
Empire counties that will turn in
the most scrap, per capita, in the
four-week period beginning Sep
tember q and ending October II;
$1,000 in war bonds as first prize,
$500 in war bonds as second prize.
The prize will be given to the
u. S. O., the Red Cross, or any
other charity within the winning
county that may be designated.
Inasmuch as Lincoln County has a
comparatively small population, 1t
ought to stand a good chance of
winning the prize, thinks Mr..
Church.
COME ON, LINCOLN COUNTY,
LET'S WIN THAT $1,000 PRIZE
There is no single best way TO

Springfield Arsenal
Fire Delays Lift in
Garand Rifle Output
Blow Torch Apparently
Started BIoze in Building
Under Construction
By the Associated Press.

By the A8SOCldteu frcsS
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Jan. 80.
"A three alarm fire caused ma
jor damage today to one Of the
new buildings at the Springfield
Arsenal, home Of the vital Gar
and automatic rife. but the blaze
was brought under control before
it could spread to other struc-
lures in the reservation.
Gen. Gilbert Stewart, COM
mandant at the arsenal, said the
present production of Garand rifles
would not be hampered, as the
$4,000 building was still under
construction.
He added, however, that expand
ing operations could not be initiated
In the structure for three months,
rather than three weeks, as con-
templated. The arsenal now en-
ploys around 5000 men, with new
employees being added weekly.
An estimate OF damage to the
building, being erected as q joint
storage and assembly plant, awaited
q survey by contractors on how
newly poured concrete had with
stood the blaze.
Army officials in Boston, on the
basis of fast telephonic reports from
Springfield, stated during the course
OF the fire that there were no i'm
mediate indications of sabotage.
The blaze started in a tarpaulin
used during winter construction
work, and was discovered quickly
by an ar1nory guard. An Army Of
flcer said it appeared that a blow
torch might have started the fire.
The new building was on the
outer edge of the armory reserva-
ton, and most Of the buildings near
by were new and of flreproof con-
struction.
Several persons were overcome by
smoke and were taken to the armory
hospital.
