Ill i liditoriais iNews ot utner Days rlace iNamesn Women s features Reaping Gold from Tourists FIGURES ON TRAVELER'S BUDGET Attend the Christmas Party California' Huge Income Cited orEAKING Friday at San Francisco " before the Society of Foresters, T. L. Stanley, general manager of the Shasta-Cascade-Wonderland association presented some highly interesting and significant figures on the expenditure of the tourists' dollar. Just exactly what happens to the tourists' dollar is of vital interest to a region which ex pects to spend much in attracting the tourists. Mr. Stanley reports a study of the distribution of 114,354.25. the amount paid out in a community by 7,115 guests at one hotel. Here are the figures: Valet service, $151.25; laundry, $310; milk and butter, $888; eggs, $140; meat. $1100; fruit, $740; vege tables, $750; bakery goods, $330; ice cream, $260; water, $210; oil and gas and electricity, $700; telephone, $570; poultry, $725; fish, $480; salaries and wages, $7000. Each guest, it will be seen, paid approximately $1 a day in purchase of home produce. An analysis of the budget ' of the tourist was also given by Mr. Stanley. Some 12 per cent of the budget Is paid out in gas line and oil; 26 per cent is paid out in merchandise; 10 per cent for local transportation; 8 per cent for amusements, and 10 per cent for inci dentals. That a large proportion of the tour ists' money goes out to the people of the community in which he stays ia apparent from these figures. Consider what this means to California, which has made an outstanding success of the tourist business. In 1931, it is esti mated that one million people went into California by railroad and by auto mobiles. Californians, Inc., has made an authoritative estimate that each per son spends $331 while in the state. Therefore, California received $331, 000,000 in the past year from tourist travel from the outside, by rail and road alone, not considering local tourist business. California's experience shows con clusively the tremendous profit on in vestments in the attraction of tourists. Community Event To Be Worthwhile ' KLAMATH FALLS' Christmas party is to be held Monday night It is the first community-wide event of the kind since Klamath Falls has grown into the city class. It promises to be a most worthy beginning for an annual custom. The committees have labored well. The people have responded gratifyingly to the appeal for assistance in the Christmas cheer family relief program, and, undoubtedly will do much more in this way in the next three days dur ing which donations will be acceptable. It remains now to make the party itself a success by a large attendance. It promises to be a most cheerful and appropriate event There will be a sacred cantata by high school students in the auditorium preceding the events around the tree. There will be a Santa Claus, who will give out fat bags of candy and nuts to the children of the city. There will be a ceremony, per haps' symbolizing the adult relief work in connection with the tree observance. It should be a most pleasant and in spiring experience to attend this Christ mas party. It will unite the whole community in a common observance of the spirit of Christmas. The high school's great lawn should be crowded with people that night he didn't Ilk IU Bounded very cold when he Mid goodbye. Now sh bad that to worry about.

(To II Continued) Health Talks In a review of a recent magazine de velopment the newest publication is described as "smart" If you are one who doesn't pronounce his R's, you'll come pretty close to the truth of th matter. The Congressional Record is back again as a visitor to the editorial desk. No subscribers have asked to borrow a copy. Sometimes we experience an honest wish that the jokesmiths hadn't put the taboo on red flannels. The wisecracker's argument for a new war is that it would give a lot of young fellows a chance for a bonus. The Second Stringer Provide a Lesson WARM tribute, where tribute is not often paid was voiced at the Klam ath Union High school football banquet Thursday night by Dwlght French. Mr. French coaches the "Wildcats," the second football team. He spoke in tribute to these lads, who, day after day, without the glory that comes to a "first stringer," stayed on the job throughout the football season, working hard and providing the competition that kept the first team on its toes. The high school lads who heard ilr. French will learn that it is not alone on the gridiron that this situation exists, but in every walk of life. Not all can fill the roles where glory and honor are heaped. But there is accorded to each the right to aspire to these places, and each one who does so, whether he wins his goal or not may have the sat isfaction of knowing that because he has pressed the man above, and forced him into higher endeavor, he has con tributed to the success of the work ac complished. And it is work accom plished that really counts. The taxpayers' league is not entirely off the educational system. It takes quite a fancy to the examination plan and the quiz section. It's too late to urge folks to mail early. Eut not too late to urge them not to mail too late. By ItR.

JERRY-and-JOAN SIDE GLANCES Bycciark Cristas Office Cat By Cleo Lucas CHAPTER VI. She wished aha could aee Jerry right bow. H was aleeplng, prob ably, not va dreaming about her. Well, b couldn't help that. She hadn't dreamed about blm, either, and ah had wanted to ao much. She had, in tact, although ah hated to admit It vn to her aelf. dreamed about Dick Taylor. Pick Taylor. Thar waa no Dick Taylor. Not any more. Thar was nobody anymore ex cept Jerry CorbetL Joan recapitulated last night in har mind again. It waa wonder ful to think about Ebe went over everything that he had aaid to her, their conversation word for word. It wasn't ao difficult to re member their conversation be cause there wasn't ao much of It. There were kisses to remember, though, the soft warmth of Jer ry's lip against hers, hla adorable handa in the moonlight holdnlg her band tightly, Jarry whispering to her, "Joan, I'm ao glad I met you, dear." Yes, bs had said "dear." She remembered that distinctly now, and that waa on thing aba bad lot gotten when aha had gone over things last nlgbt in bed. When she had said she thought they i sully should be going bom b said that he wished he could stay out there forever under the moon and stars with her In his arms, ilu must have meant, than, that ha loved her. A man didn't want to hold a girl In hla arms forever unless be loved her. Oh, aurely h meant that he loved her. But why, then, had he aald, driving back, that he thought love waa an Idiot's dream? All that talk about her being such good company. Why bad he aald that! Joan analysed Jerry'a every phrase, hla every word, and thought, and thought about them until she reached a satisfactory gnawer for all h had (aid to her. Or perhaps some of the things. She couldn't be quite sure that wbat she decided about them waa right, either. 8he kerX thinking of things that "maybe" he meant. Joan was too Inexperienced to know that th mora yon wondered about what men meant by their atatements the lesa apt you were to reach th right conclusion. Far better to dismiss the entire con versation with "There's so ac counting," than to waste time worrying abont It Because In th end there really was no ac counting anyway. Joan waa to learn all that later. But not now, not today In th bright sunshine with th cool, bin waters ot Lake Michigan stretching off to merge Into a bluer sky, not while her heart was beating to a tun that had worda to It that aald "First she gar me cak. and then she gave me Crem d Menth for meeting har at th gat. Joan looked at her watch. It was eight o'clock. Two whole hours before ah would hear Jer ry'a voice on the telephons. H would call her at ten, he had aaid. She thought aha had never want ed It to be ten o'clock as badly aa sh did this morning. Two houra. Ehe would have time to drive up to Lake Forest and tell Cbarlci that ah waa la lov with Jerry Corbett. Love la aomethlng that cannot be kept secret First love. Jerry did not call Joan nt ten. And then minutes after ten she thought that probably be was busy talking to somebody In his office and at twenty minutes af ter ten she waa afraid that he had overslept that morning and wasn't even up. It was terrible to wait for a telephon call a telephone call from Jerry. 8h didn't recall ever having waited for one from anybody else. At ten-thirty she called Charl cle on th pretext ot having for gotten th day they had named for their luncheon engagement, but actually to ae whether or not th phone was out of order. It eemed to work all right. But maybe that waa only for outgoing calls. Maybe no on could call her. At ten-forty sh called the operator and asked her to please call her back, that someone had told her they had had difficulty In getting her number. The phone rang clearly and made Joan'a Jump. Maybe It waa Jerry. Hut It was tha operator telling her that the Phone aeemed to be In perfect order. The time between ten and twalv seemed longer than any class room recitation sh had aver aat through nnder the dullest old teacher In school. Sh was afraid to go outside for fear Maid Mar ion wouldn't bear the phone ring or that Jerry would get cut off befor ah could get In to answer him. At twalv th phone rang. Joan caught np th Instrument. It waa the grocer aaklng If th cook had ordered three or four pounds of pork. His clerk had taken th or der and he waa new and he didn't write very plainly. Joan felt Ilk throwing the tel ephone at him. Inatead abe called to th cook and found out that the figure waa thru. Joan wondered abaently bow yon could mistake a three for a four. At twelve-thirty Joan conclud ed that Jerry would probably call her after lunch. She hoped It wasn't going to be upsetting like this every day that Is, she hoped things would gat back to normal again with har, because aha felt very hungry and vet tha thought of food made her alck. Jerry called her at four o'clock. "Darling Joan," he aald. She didn't say anything. She was going to say "hello," but there was. aomethlng In her throat that ah bad to swallow first. ' "I'm sorry I didn't call yon at ten." "Ob, that'a all right, Jrry," ah aald. "I had to meet a star who pass, ed through town thla morning." "I knew yon were busy," ah aald. Sh hoped he couldn't hear har heart thumping. "Ar you going to let m act you again?" Joan thought, "Again, again?" It muat be alwaya, every night, ev ery day." But she aald: "If you want to see me again." "Tonight?" "Yes." Jerry said goodbye In a vary mattar-of fact manner. Joan thought. Now why had he said It that way? He hadn't aaid It In the ssme ton of voice he had used when he aald "Darling Joan." Joan got panicky. Had sh aald aomethlng to blm that of stealing a chicken. Anything io say.

The , atatement: Taxpayers Do you know wbat Blnnderbu I? Wall It la aa antiquated form of fir arm long ago aldetrarked aa Inneflrleal and In accural, get th Inaecurat part. Klamath County haa a doubl barrelled blunderbua la the form of a family newspaper: one bar rel! la Chlloquln and th other In Malln. and that blunderbua let both barrels go, loaded with nails and acrap iron, with th Klamath Taxpayer leagu aa th target. League members were in t'bllo. quln and spoke before a small gathering explaining th League work. In du tim th 131 Budget came np for Inspection aa It ap peared on November loth, and orer the elgnature of the County Court and alteaud by th Connty Clerk. If auch a publication ia In accurate why do our county offi cials let It be published over their name aa official? Under the heading of "Current Expense Fund" th point waa brought out that M21.S0SH was asked for for the year ltll while In th year 131 It required only fHO.t more. I thar any nnjust. Improper, Ignorant or misleading attack, on any public official there? The League, I believe, feela that th amount asked for could be lowered any where from 10 to IS per cent, and stated ao. Is thar anything eararlng of a mla leadlag, unjust Improper, or Ig norant attack in that atatement? 1 say NO. The Leagu Officials who spoke, mind you, confined them selves to th published figures over th nam of th Connty efflcera. The doubled barrelled blunder bua goes on with a heavily ruled, two-column use. of their valua ble apace, filled with their self Inspired analysis of County af fairs. Well all fel, after reading tha article. Ilk patting thou offi cials on th back and calling them capable,' but ahall we? I might pause her to observe how a champion to any causa Is alwaya aroused to th defense of that cans or policy, when a part of their bread and butter la Habbt to b affected by a change In that raua or policy. Let us look Into the raue ot thla praise on the part of the blund.r hus. Th article holds np the figures of 111,000.00 In the 1011 budget under "Itosd Mnnd Interest Fund' aa agaluat flO.uoo.uo asked lor In IDS!, and proudly proclaims a saving ot J7S.U00.U0. la thla a savins? Aa 1 see It, th County owed Hi Monils and Warrants and had the money on hand to pay them, laving lu the bank. They divert ed Hie necessary amounts from their Inactive funds and paid theaa bills. Is that a aavlng? By dulng this they actually saved around 1000.00 In Interest. This saving ot Interest Is to be commended aa good business, but It la only tha duty of theaa offi cials that ar elected to conduct th County affairs. That la what they ar thar for. Another Item the blunderbua arises to defend la the action of that County School official Is not asking for Ito.ooo.oo more ln he could have. That official has long had hla foot, heavily on the accelerator, of th Taxpayers money, and I believe that official is commencing to see the trend of the llmea and listen to pitinic opinion aa well aa the Klamath Taxpayers League, and will cut down expenses where h can. 1 also predict ha will be followed by others who ar handling nub ile monies aa long as these bard times exist. I further ask th blunderbua to qualify lis us of th words, at tack, misleading, unjust, improp er, and ignorant when wrllelng about the League, and suggest that h too get hla ear due. a to he knot hole, for the voir of public opinion.
