. While It was the government's
original Intention of enlisting the
carriers to sell only ten-cent sav
ings stamps, so many subscribers
have Insisted on buying bonds
through the carriers and the
boys have proved such good
talesmen that more convenient
arrangements have now been
tnado for handling bonds.
Under the new procedure,
subscribers wishing to purchase
bonds from the carrier will be
given a form to be filled out.
The carrier will accept the com
pleted form and a check, money
order or cash for the value of
the bond desired. The carrier
will deliver the order and the
check, money order or cash and I
the bond will be mailed from
the postoffice by registered mail.
All checks or money orders
must be mac' ut to the post
master and no kDnd will be is
sued until the postmaster has
cleared the check through the
bank. It is provided in the new
government regulations.

shut down all new construction
work other than that under contract.
The only exception will be
such major highway construc

In Oregon.

highway maintenance, will be
held to a minimum.
Cut Out Frills
Tourist advertising, park serv
ice and landscaping divisions
will be carved to the bone or
suspended entirely and commis
sion participation in the Oregon
Trail Centennial celebration will
be greatly reduced.
The commission decided to
take a "trial balance" ot all pro
jects which have been planned
for future work and "close the
books as of today."
Commissioners said the effect
would be to freeze such projects
for the duration of the war but
leave them, standing for early
resumption afterward.

Negotiations of right of way
on the Klamath Falls and Ash
land construction projects, on
which part of the work nas been

Providing direct communica
tion between the office in city
hall and their two patrol cars,
the Medford city police short
wave radio station, KRIQ, went
into operation Sunday.
The station, of 50 watts,
broadcasts on a frequency of
24.42 kilocycles. The transmit
ter is located in the station and
the antenna Is on top of city
hall on two 33-foot poles.
The system was provided for
in the 1942 city budget, and
was installed by Frank Rogers,
city building and light inspec
tor and Dave H. Rees, local
radio technician. Eight city
policemen have been licensed
as operators of the station.
Cart Equipped
The two city police patrol
cars have been equipped with
receiving sets for over a year,
designed to pick up broadcasts
of the local state police short
wave radio. Heretofore, whe.i
city police headquarters want
ed to contact one of their patrol
cars, it was necessary to tele
phone state police and have
them broadcast to the car. With
thfeir own transmitter, city po
lice headquarters will be able
to directly contact their patrol
cars.
As soon as the equipment Is
available, the two patrol cars
will be equipped with sending
apparatus and will be able to
contact headquarters as well as

U. S. BOMBER RAID
IS NO. 1 EXPLOIT
Washington, Jan. 6. (V
For results, the No. 1 exploit
reported. in the final U. S. com
muniques yesterday was the
work of the army bomber flight
which blasted an enemy de
stroyer to the bottom of Davao
bay in the Philippines and
scored three direct hits on a
battleship in the same waters.
All the bombers got back un
damaged to their secret base.
The big thriller, however,
was the itirring battle put up
by the U.S.S. Heron, a small
seaplane tender, which fought
off a seven-hour attack by 13
Japanese bombers in the far
east. The doughty little ship de
stroyed one four-motored flying
boat, badly damaged at least
one other, and was able to make
port safely despite the one
bomb hit she sustained.
