Klamath Publisher Tells C-C
Forum Prosperous Isola
tion Dangerous Attitude
America can't continue as an
island of plenty and prosperity
in a sea of starvation and need
and unless we make an honest
effort to raise the rest of the
world to a better standard of
livine. we inevitably will be
dragged down to the world
level, declared Frank Jenkins,
publisher of the Klamath Falls
Herald and News, speaking at
a forum meeting of the Jackson
County Chamber of Commerce
Friday noon at the Holland
hotel.
Admitting that before the
war he had been a "rabid iso
lationist," Jenkins said he now
believed that "the day is gone
when this nation can live with
in itself" and added that unless
we provide the honest world
leadership which this country
alone is in a position to pro
vide, we'll have to face the con
sequences.
Terrible Need Seen
Dwelling on the "terrible
need" for food, fuel and cloth
ing in the European countries
devastated by the war he said
"if people living In this coun
try could see Europe today,
could see what happens to a na
tion when production is stop
ped, we would quit trying to
'get ours now' and buckle down
to the problem of reconversion
and start producing for a needy
and starving world." The news
paper publisher said we should
"tighten our belts if need be"
and make every effort to feed
the starving nations since "the
hatreds brought on by starva
tion last a long time."
Jenkins declared that a new
defininltion for inflation was
necessary to impress the peo
ple of this country, adding that
ho believed it was more nearly
correct to say inflation is too
little production, rather than
too much money. "Everywhere
in Europe people, with their
pockets stuffed full of money,
are dying of starvation," Jen
kins said. "This type of disas
trous inflation , inevitably fol
lows war."
Incentive Lost
The speaker said It would be
a full year, and probably two,
before Europe could feed Itself
since the people have lost the
incentive to work, have no ma
chinery left with which to oper
ate and since highways and
transportation systems are use
less. Urging his listeners not to be
misled by the "isms" of Europe,
Jenkins said "Nazism was noth
ing more than a racket. Every
thing of value in Europe was in
tile hands of individual Nazi
party leaders of p o w c r." He
added that during all his weeks
in Germany he did not meet a
single German who had any re
gret for having started the war,
but regret only for the fact that
the war had been lost. "You
could literally feel their hatred
as they passed you in the
streets," lie declared.
With but $34,500 contributed
to date in the 1945 Community
Chest and national victory fund
drive, workers face a shortage
of $4,500 in the $40,000 quota.
The figures were presented at a
meeting of Community Chest
board members and drive work
ers held rnrtay noon at me
Holland Hotel.
"A close survey of contribu
tion figures shows that the de
ficit results from contributions
In the smaller brackets, as
compared with previous years,"
Otto Frohnmayer, chairman of
the chest, stated following the
meeting. "Records show that
firms and individuals who con
tributed large sums in past
years have equalled or exceed
ed their contributions, while
smaller contributions are on the
whole below the last few years.
Frohnmayer said the board
believed that this was due to the
fact that fewer solicitors had
been available, resulting in in
complete coverage. "Unless In
dividuals who have not been
contacted volunteer their con
tributions, such worthwhile or
ganizations as the Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts. Y.M.C.A., Jackson
County Public Health associa
tion, Girls' Community club and
Salvation Army will be forced
to operate on curtailed budgets
next year,' 'the chairman said.
He pointed out that these organ
izations depend solely upon the
Chest for their funds and that
they are not permitted to
solicit except through special
arrangement with the Chest
board.
Present at (he meeting were
Frohnmayer, Mrs. William Mc
Allister, Mrs. Elwood Hedberg,
Mrs. Harry Holmes, Allen Per
ry, Mrs. John Moffat, Robert
Norris, all board members, Mrs.
V. W. Hammond, who has been
keeping office records during
the present campaign, and An
thony Manno, in charge of
down-town solicitation.

FRANK PERL
The board of directors of the
Medford Irrigation District,
composed of Dr. George B.
Dean, Jean Cameron, and David
Holmes, together with J. M.
bpencer, manager, has an
nounced extensive plans for the
betterment of the district's irri
gation system. For the past two
years, the director's announce
ment said, the board has pointed
towards a program of extensive
improvements and changes in
the system, and during this pe
riod the necessary money has
been accumulated with which
to accomplish the work.
Deailing the plans, the an
nouncement continues:
"The program of improving
the higher mountain portion of
the system, consisting of the
canal between Four Mile Lake,
the upper reservoir, and Fish
Lake, was partially accomplish
ed during the past year. A road
along the entire length of the
canal has been constructed,
preparatory to lining with con
crete a large section of this
canal. The season during which
this work can be carried out is
limited to the interval between
the completion of irrigation and
the oncoming of winter, with a
similar limited period In the
spring of the year.
"The Medford Irrigation Dis
trict in conjunction with the
Rogue River Irrigation District
is also carrying out extensive
improvements, which will sub
stantially increase the capacity
of the main canal between the
intake and Bradshaw Drop, by
reconstruction of flumes and
lining of extensive portions of
the canal. The siphon on the
main canal at Yankee Creek is
also being reconstructed. This
work also was partially accom
plished during the past year
and will be completed during
the coming year.
"The plans also include ex
tensive lining and bank im
provements in the main canal
below Phoenix. The district has
just completed some 600 feet of
lining on this portion of the
canal and contemplates an ad
ditional 200 feet during the com
ing year.
"The board is confident that
these improvements in the sys
tem will result in large saving!
of water and in much more sat
isfactory service to the land
owners of the district. The work
has been planned by Mr. Spen
cer in such a manner as to co
ordinate with the federal au
thorities in case the Rogue Riv
er project is carried out."
Women's Skirts To
Be Longer in 1946
New York, Nov. 10 (U.R)
Skirts are getting longer.
A preview of 1946 styles
showed today that long skirts
arc coming back.
Long skirts are bad news for
men who like to look at legs
and bad news for men who pay
for women's clothes. .A new
skirt length makes last year's
clothes look old.
