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

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.

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.
