CLOSER PLANNING
FOR SCRAP IRON

1hefe are thousands OF tons OF scrap
iron lying on Imperial Valley farms,
untagged and uncollected.
There are steel mills forced to curtail
operations because they cannot get en-
ough scrap metal to temper the new
steel worked from ore, but which needs
the addition of certain amount of
scrap before it is the kind of steel our
army and navy need
Imperial Valley is not alone in its
possession of unused scrap. Through
out the United States there are millions
of tons which, if sent to the steel mills,
would make possible operations at full
capacity.
The scrap is not moving to the steel
mills as it should. Why?
Probably the least of the reasons is
that those who own the used metal are,
in some instances, holding It for higher
prices. These people, we believe, are in
a small minority.
Probably the greatest reason is that
the need for scrap metal has not been
made wildly clear to the people of the
country.
In between those reasons is another
It is more involved 1t has to do with
prices, and price fixing by the govern
ment. It has to do with costs, and with
methods of operation. 1t is too involved
for lengthy explanation here, and sum-
mary necessarily leaves out many items
Yet here is summary,
The federal agencies in charge of the
salvage program have directed that ali
scrap shall be handled through estab
lished scrap dealers, who know the type
of metals needed, and ship only that
which can be used. Then the price fix
ing agencies set a price, beyond which
scrap dealers cannot sell their goods.
The theory was good. But the price
seems to have been pegged SO low that
it has become impossible for many scrap
dealers to operate under it.
Many dealers had stocks on hand for
which they had paid more than they were
allowed to charge in re-sales to mills.
Others found that they could not offer
enough to encourage scrap metal collec-
ton, then pay haulage charges to the
mills, and come out with anything but
q loss.
So the scrap metal lays unused on the
farms.

JITTERY MASSACHUSETTS?

(Chicago Sum
Younger States of this great country
are accustomed to look up to Massachu-
setts, to sort of bask in the reflection of
her colonial and revolutionary glory;
and didn't Calvin Coolidge say, Have
faith in Massachusetts"
But something has happened over Bos-
ton-way. State defense officials, with the
approval of the Massachusetts admins
tration, have authorized all persons, in
case of air raids, to take shelter in any
bodys house-just dive right in. Now
the rest of us know you just can't drop
in on people in Massachusetts without
a previous introduction =.
But if the Massachusetts, government
is ratified, listen to the case of the lady
who has an ancestral home in Saugus,
aristocratic suburb. She has things in
that house that go back all the way to
Paul Revere and Bunker Hill. So, to pre-
serve them, she has appeared before Off
cials and has asked them to advise Ger
many, Italy and Japan that Saugus is an
open city, and SO claims immunity from
bombing
Imperial Valley press., 1942-04-02
AMERICA MUST GET
SCRAP IRON TO THE MILLS

There should be no thought of prof
its in furnishing the scrap metal with
out which the steel mills cannot produce,
no matter how much iron ore they may
have. Neither the farmer who owns
the scrap, nor the dealer through whom
it must be cleared, should give one
thought to what he is going to get out
of it in the way of profits. America
needs that scrap iron. Macarthur needs
it. The AEF in Ireland needs it.
Yet the farmer cannot be expected to
go into the salvage business, and those
who are in the salvage business cannot
be expected to lose from $40 to 500 and
up on every shipment of scrap they make:
They would not be in business long II
they did, and if they went out of busl-
ness. there would be nobody at all to
handle the scrap.
We firmly believe that any program
which can be worked out to guarantee
the handlers against loss, even though
it does not provide any profit, would
start the scrap iron moving to the mills
in such quantity that there would be nc
more talk Of curtailed operations. We
suggest that the proper governmental
agencies make more thorough study
of the scrap iron situation, enlist both
farmers and scrap dealers more thor
oughly in the salvage program, and get
the iron moving out of the 'graveyards
If America needs steel as badly as 1t
has been said she does-and there IS no

Easter Activities

Junior Red Cross members, IN ad-

Easter, are planning number OF

and of assisting other to observe 1t.
Members will sing Easter music
for the residents of the county farm

The Junior Red Cross has made
a plea to all those having extra gar

taking some to the farm and using

TAKING IT ON

(Wall Street Journal
The recently announced cut in razor
blade production to one per week per

threatened cut in the supply of mems
wares has brought about almost STAN

The reason is clear. While most men

pleatless or VestleSS suits, this matter of
shaving is an intensely personal affair.
1t is something on which to compare
notes. weighing this blade or that shaving
cream against the other, and mutually
commiserating over the necessity of hack
ing off each days growth.
Each man will swear by his particular
razor blade: it is the one out of dozens
tested that suits him. yet he will surrep-
titiously and somewhat guiltily buy
trial package of blades recommended by
another. There is about it the lure of
lottery or the hope of attaining perfec
ton.
We note, also, among the other men
who have clung faithfully to the straight
razor, tendency to laugh up their sleeves

beard will beat stout democratic heart,
even under a Van Dyke or a Burnside.
