THE EVENING HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON jnunry 21. 19112 Editorials News of Other Days Place Names Women's Features PAGE FOUR Relief Demands Are Great TRUE PICTURE MUST BE PAINTED We Ask For Consideration Discussion Brings Out Stark Facts Wednesday night' discussion of Kla math county' relief program brought out emphatically the failure of th county, so far, to paint its unemploy ment and relief problem in colors suf ficiently dark to give true picture of the situation. That the problem is ex tremely serious, that its seriousness must be made known to those admin istering the statewide relief program, and that its solution will require the community's best effort in the nex: three months, are facts that stand out as a result of the meeting. They must be made the basis of the program im mediately ahead. It is useless and dangerous to seek to gloss over the situation. We face an emergency that is probably un equaled in the state. It is well that the citizens of the community, first of all, realize that, and that they spare no effort to make the fact known to those in charge of statewide relief ef forts. Distress Serious Klamath Falls is an industrial cen ter, the largest in Oregon outside cf Portland. More than 50 per cent of its population is engaged directly in in dustrial pursuits, and another large portion of the community is engaged in work that depends largely upon the continued activity of industry. What makes the situation more ser ious for us is the fact that the commun ity's industrial life is based largely on one industry, and that industry is suf fering the greatest decline in its his tory. Its present slump antedates the depression that has more recently brought a decline in other lines of in dustry. . The prolonged slump spells greater distress in the homes of the workers. Last summer, when he might have been expected to lay up resources for the winter shut-downs, industry was operating on a curtailed basis and the workman was barely able to make enough to care for current demands. Through no failure of his own thrift, he went into the winter without any thing to fall back upon when the slump hit bottom. Should Recognize Situation That's a picture we don't like to paint, but the time has come to look at facta as they are and to make them JERRY CHAPTER XXXIV Ther. might not b. any And God'e idea w. to tak th best. The ordinary people the people who didn't count were left to clutter up Hl Imperfect world. Jerry eat a few tnlnutet and tried not to blame anybody be cause Clayton Summer had died. Evervbody died sooner or later. It didn't make much difference when It happened. If there were only aome explanation, but there didn't aeem to be any. The more you thought about It the deeper you got In, then you got weary thinking about it. Jerry fell asleep, and when he woke up his wrist watch said twelve o'clock. Joan was home alone. He started the motor and whipped the car back on to the highway. There was a full moon In the sky and the air was warm and soft-feellng. Things were all right again. Joan waa In bed when he got home. He turned on the light over by the window so as not to disturb her. but she was awake. "I'm glad you came, honey." That was all she said. He went over and sat down on the edge of the bed and kissed her. "Clayton Bummers died this af ternoon, Joan." So that was It. Dear Jerry. He bad wanted to be alone. That waa "I should have told you before I left, I should have explained why I wanted the car. I had to get away." He laid his head down on her breast. "I understand, Jerry." Jerry looked up at her. "You do, don't you, JoanT Ton do understand me?" She leaned orer and kissed his forehead. "Of course I do. Dear Jerry, he would never know how hard It had been to ,ay that. Danhca By Damery "It seems that the great Cor-bett-Prentlce love match haa cooled since the beautiful Claire Hempsted made ber debut to Chicago and to the stage. Claire, we understand from an old college friend. Is an old college friend of the , well-known critic." Joan's eyes were wet, as she read It. Surely Damery would not say things like that If ho knew how they hurt. People would not deliberately do things to hurt you. Well, there It was now before the eyes of tho world. It wasn't a secret any longer. By this time prnhahly half her friends were tulklng about It. Couldn't Dam known. These facta, in no way exag gerated, should be given full consid eration in the dispensation of the state highway unemployment relief funds. Another bond issue for this purpose is likely to be floated it should, by all means, be floated and in the appor tionment of this fund to the counties, Klamath county's emergency should be fully recognized. There is a feeling, and reports jus tify it, that Klamath county's situ ation was not given full consideration in the allotment from the first bond issue. This county has received from that fund $2280 week, reporting more than 1000 unemployed, and that is a low figure. Agricultural Sherman county reported 145 unemployed, but received $3040. Deschutes county, in a number of ways comparable to this county, has received $4330 not too much for Deschutes, but indicative of what Klamath county ought to be re ceiving. Clatsop county has received $3706, Baker $2916, and Malheur $2219, virtually the same as Klamath county. This county in submitting facts and figures to form the basis of its appro priation, was extremely conservative. It has done nothing to encourage reg istration of unemployed, choosing rath er to let the unemployed voluntarily make their needs known. There un doubtedly are scores who are actually suffering but have refused to appeal for help. Could Work Many Men In connection with future appropri ations, it is well to point out the fact that in Klamath county is to be found one of the most satisfactory unemploy ment relief road projects in the state. The section on The Dalles-California highway from Barclay Springs to, Lamm's mill lends itself admirably to this type of work. It has been author atively stated that from 800 to 1000 men could be put to work on this job and kept there for several months. Not only do state highway appropriations for unemployment relief in Klamath county help the unemployed, but they count for much in actual work accom plished. These are facte which stand out. They constitute a forceful argument If properly presented, they will surely bring results. They MUST bring re-.nlta. - zwd - JOAN ery hare let them alone? Qlv them a chance? Well, ther wasn't any use fighting when ererything waa against yon. "Ton can't go on forever hoping." Violet had said. "When Alden marries again, I'm f hroneh. It'a easy to be through when you've made up your mind." The phone rang. 11 was mcs Taylor. "Come on out to the Dunes with ua Saturday. Jo. We're go ing to hare a awell time. Besides, I want to see you." "But, Dick " "I know what you're going to say, but I won't listen to It. I've got to Ulk to you. Not about me. bat about you." "I can't say I'll go right now," Joan said. "Give me a little time to think about It. "Shall I call you again Satur day morning?" "Tea, I'll know then. Sweet of you to hare called me." "Oh, Jo, honey, I'm to sorry about ererything." Joan knew that it was of no use to lie. She was tired of ly ing. She was tired of excuses. She was tired of hoping, of wait ing. She wondered If she were not just a little tired of loving, of loving so hopelessly. "Don't talk about It. please." "Isn't there something I can do for you?" "Yes, I think If you call me Saturday morning that will be oulte enough." The receiver slipped from her hand. The phone clicked on the other end. "That's the way It would be,' she thought, "Juat a click. Just like signing off, banging up." Her head wa whirling. She thought, "It all dependa on Jerry. On bow he acts from now on." She prayed: "Please make blm love me, God." Jerry made It easy for Joan to decide about the trip to the Dunes. They were at breakfast Saturday morning. Tbere wasn't any use trying, she knew, but she would put up a front. Eh bit in to a piece of toast, but It stuck In her throat. Bhe couldn t swal low. She took a drink of coffee and washed It down. She didn't want to cry. She wouldn't let Jerry see her crying now. If she could only bear him say, "Joan, 1 love you, honey, ther won't ever be anybody but you and me, alone together." She had wish ed that a thousand times, she be lieved. But he only sat there crunching his cinnamon toast and eating his soft-boiled egg, without looking up. H wasn't thinking By Clce Loca of her, eh waa sure of that What should she do? "Oh. Jerry, I love yon so much. Let's make np. I'm so unhappy this way. It s killing me, honey, kill ing me wlthont your love. Don't yon see. I'm dying Like a tree that baa been cat In half and the broken piece has been torn away. The piece that atill atande dies al so." What waa she thinking of? Drama, absolute melodrama. He would laugh at her If ah said anything Ilk that to him. Glad she hadn't spoken ber thoughts. Eat. Bhe took another sip of coffee. Jerry looked at her. 'I'm not hungry this morning. I guess. I had a few bite while I was getting breakfast. Jerry kept on looking at her. "Spoiled my appetite," she add ed quickly. 'You haven t been eating lately at all." Then be had noticed. Then didn't he know why? Was he so dumb tbst he didn't know the reason she didn't eat was that tbere was a lump In ber throat that nothing would go past? Hadn't he ever been so hurt that his heart ached so badly that the very thought of food was nauseat ing? If she had asked him these questions Jerry would have been obliged to say "No." Ho bad never felt that badly about any thing. It was not In his way of living. That was something one should overcome early In life. He remembered when he bad con quered It. Claire Hempsted. He knew Joan was lying. He had been pretty negligent lately. Too bad that thla press party came tonight. He really should take Joan out. He had tried to get out of It, too, but there waen't a chance. He'd lose out on the whole story of Daley's new play. He couldn't afford to miss It. The editor expected his story to appear In the Sunday edition. Oh, well Joan would understand. She always did. Still It was a little hard to tell her. He flnisned breakfast and Joan got up and followed blm to the door. There was a moment of silence as they stood tbere In the hall to gether. Joan made up her mind to tell him ah was going out with Dick. They looked np at each other at the same time and both began sneaking at once. Jerry said "What?" and Joan was emhar rassed. "Nothing, wbat were you say ing?" Jerry put his arm around her. "We're having that priwe party tonight for Denham, you know." Her It was. Just as ih had anticipated. Well, It might as well u now as next Saturday. It would always be the Mine. She knew that now. Jerry wondered whethsr he had mentioned the Denham party to her before now. He had forgot ten. II had meant to tell ber about It. th was going to play It through with smile. "No wive or relative, of course?" Funny she was smiling. Joan was a brick. Perfect. Jerry smil ed back at her. "No, as usual. But I'll be home early. I'll call you when dinner Is over and we'll bit off some place. Shall we?" Joan hesitated. What should she do? If he would only carry out bU promise. If he would only slay a little while at the party and then com bom to her so they could go out some place together. Her heart danced for a moment with the possibility of It. But no, she knew how It would be. He would go to the party, stsrt drinking. and forget all about ber until twelve or one o'clock, and then stagger to a telephone and ring her up with his usual sorry story. Wss ther any reason for her to bellev that thla might be the turning point, this time might be the on when h would actu ally come home? None at all. She remembered what her father had said: "Think a long time before you do anything to change your lit or anyone'a life. Then when you hav mad up your mind, go through with It. Don't be a quitter." This thing took courage, a lot of It. She wished ther wer sora other way out but there didn't seem to be. She couldn't look at Jerry's eyes, sbe waa afraid she might change her mind. She stood with her eye on the smooth polished floor and told him. "No, Jerry, I won't be her to night waiting for you. That Is, Dick and a few friends of bis are having a little party out at the Dune and I've been invited." There was a terrible silence. Why didn't be say something so that she would know bow he was reacting? But then, of course, he wouldn't. He never talked when she really wanted him to Ulk. Nothing. Not a word from him. It didn't make any difference to him that ah wouldn't be waiting to go out with him. He didn't intend to com horn to ber any way until he was ao sleepy and tired that there wasn't any place else for him to go. How ah longed now to tell him sll this, to get It sll out of her heart ao that he would re member that be had wronged ber cruelly. She forced herself to look up at him. His blue eyes were gaxlng at her strangely, as If they comprehended her thoughts and were shamed by them. She couldn't speak. Bhe looked down again at the floor and suddenly she heard the door slam and she knew that she was all alone. Her knees wer shaking ao. ah aat down on the floor until she could get her strength bark again. So that was the wsy It bad ended. No kiss, no goodby touch, nothing. Just a look, but It wax a look that made Joan repent everything. She had decided. She knew he loved her. Ob. dear Jerry, of course he loved her, and she understood how things were. Llf waa tragic,, people couldn't control themselves. W bat thev wanted to do most, they left nndone; the people they lov ed beat wer the one tbey toot the most delight In hurting. Why oh. God, why? Joan struggled with herself. Torture. Life with Jerry would always be tbst way. She knew that In spit of themselves they could never Chang It. Llf with out Jerry well, ah had decid ed. She felt aa though ah war a thousand years old aa ah drag ged herself up from the floor. (To Bo Continued) Klamath Names LOST RIVER (From "Oregon Geographic Names'' by Lewis A. McArtbur).
