Asked how he happened to go out on the hunt in the hills, the high school youngster said: "I was invited to a party. When I got there we called off the party and went out to help look for the boy." This incident is indicative of the remarkable response of Klamath people to the need for help in this unfortun ate case. -. ; The number of volunteers who turned out in the bitter cold Monday night was estimated at from 1000 to 1600. They scoured the rough terrain for hours in the dark, staggering over brush and rocks, falling into gopher holes, and undergoing considerable hardship when com pared with the comfort of firesides that could have been enjoyed had they been less unselfish. : Where, one is led to wonder, would a bigger-hearted community be found? Traffic Signal Talk IT appears inevitable that the traffic signal question will be placed before the public for decision within the next year. The city council has already indicated it hopes to ask for a vote on the matter, and Mayor Richmond is quoted in Salem by state traffic authorities as indicating the probability of a vote next May. , Weight is added to the agitation for signals by recom mendations of a state highway traffic engineer for signals on Main street at Eleventh, Ninth, Eighth, Seventh and Sixth streets, and at the intersection of Sixth street and Klamath avenue. This recommendation was mde about a year ago, with the exception of the Eleventh and Main intersection, which was later added, no doubt because of increased traffic there following the completion of the Eleventh street bridge. The presence of signals on the Main street under pass, where they are less seriously needed than down down, created a situation that is likely to add to the demand for extension of the system to the busy inter sections. It seems likely the financing of signal installation. if the matter is brought up for a vote, will be proposed on a special levy basis, rather than a bond issue. It will have more chance of passage if it is done that way. News Behi sV&wlMallon I fcFT4"Pk I -B-"jn?hNs-i) miUHim. By DR. MORRIS FIBHBEDf Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine IT has bean suggested repeatedly that one of the chief benefits of smoking and chewing gam is their Talae as outlets for increas ed tension. It has been said that most habitual movements of the body represent release of such inner tension. Fidgeting, wriggling and gum' chewing are examples of move ments which may be beneficial to the human body because they re lease excess pressure. Recently psychologists at Co- 1' lbla university made a study oi 20 people over a period of 20 days to find out Just how much chewing served as a means of re laxation. Each of the persons concerned was studied first while not chewing: second, while chew ing ordinary chewing gum, aqd imra, wmie allowing a iiavorea candy wafer to melt in the mouth. It was necessary first of all to find some measurement of ten slon or strain. This was done by watching each one of the per sons concerned throughout a working day and recording rest less movements. In many of these subjects it was found that tension as measured by decrease of rest less movements was decreas ed about 10 por cent during chewing. 8tudles were also made to de termine whether Indulgence in such a habit had anr relation to fatigue. Fatigue produces Increas ed psycbologio tension. When peo ple are tired from overwork and overstrain, the use of tea and coffee seems to Increase tension. On the other hand, It was found in these studies, chewing tended to decrease tension. The amount of muscular effort involved Is hardly sufficient to Increase fa tigue. ' A study was also made to find out whether chewing during work would Interfere In any way with the work output because of this decrease of tension. It was found that with the possible ex ception of work in which a whol ly new performance Is being learned, chewing while working does not interfere with the out put. Indeed, in some kinds of work, like number checking and typing, the work Is said to be facilitated. This new scientific evidence will be gool news to the manu facturers of chewing gum. Prof. H. L. Holllngsworth, under whose direction these studies were nude, says that perhaps these studies throw some light on the striking fact that during the last ten or more tense years, chawing gum manufacturers have enjoyed greater prosperity.

VETERAN DIES ASHLAND, Ore.. Nov. 11 f tiPl One of southern Oregon's oldest Civil war veterans, (E-vear-old D. L. Olenn, died Monday. He was the last survivor of the Burnslde OAR post. tyASHINQTON, Nov. 21 It is " going to be a swell Christ mas, undoubtedly the best since 13. Employment Is wider spread, payrolls are larger. All shades of business are more ac tive and enthusiastic than in any pre-yule season in a decade. In fact, fundamental business keeps improving so much more than expected that Mr. Roose velt's economists have had to re vise their formerly optimistic predictions again and push these up another notch. Industrial pro duction index will be about 123 per cent ot normal this month and 12? per cent in December 22 to 27 per cent above what was considered perfect in the. years 1222, '24 and '25. This level Is 4 to O per cent above the average for (he greatest production year in I. S. history, 1020. SALES HIGH Retail sales for this month will reach a new high (were 92 per cent In September and steady In October). Steel Ingot production is running about 92 per cent ca pacity compared with an average of 90 for October. Business profits for this fourth quarter are going to bo substantial for the first time in a long while, Commerce de partment has a limit showing profits at the end of 10JH wore at 03. This figure will probably reach 130 In these three cur rent 1080 year-end months. A private economic statistical or ganisation is predicting a prof its level near 117 (different Index) for the final quarter, as compared with 1 during the third quarter and . 76 a year go. Prices are stimulating business. Finished goods are up four points and Industrial raw materials 10 points since the war started. All this, of course, means much larger tax revenue for the gov ernment next year. REACTION LOOMS uovernment economists are still divided over what to expect after the first of the yesr, but prevailing opinion anticipates reaction. Most think industrial production will get back to about 110. while a few extremists are guessing It will go much lower (96). If the war becomes ac tive, it might go right on up rrom Where it now Is. Whatever buoyant effect the war may have had so far upon the minds of American business men, it has bad no effect yet up on exports, except in one line airplanes. No available informa tion substantiates expectations for a heavy pickup in exports. LEGAL SNARL ijegai uucicuities or tne new shipping bill are piling up inside without public attention being drawn to them. State department, for instance, has Just emerged from a legal snarl which has held back ship- menu of planes for the British. Not a plane has yet been shipped they say here (although Informs' tlon regarding the shipments will be concealed because ot their military value). Departmental lawyers found It would be a violation of law for anyone to fly British or French sought ships over U. S. soil. American manufacturers could fly tbsm to ports of embarkation. but they did not want to, because they would have to foot Insur ance as well as transportation costs. Tbay will hare to suffer. under the system now worked out. Under it they will probably (iy most 01 the deliveries to the American side of a Canadian bor der field, where title will pass, as the planes are hauled across the border. HITS HITLER This legal difficulty was not unweleome to Britain. France or vanaua. unaer tne state depart ment ruling. Hitler will be pre vented from getting any planes under the so-called neutrality act because he will not be able to get delivery. Until this, he could have bought bombers here, flown them away to a sea rendezvous where they could have been loaded with bombs, In close enough range to Canadian ports to have made bombing feaeible. see About one-third of the allied plane purchases are long range bombers, and conceivably could be flown across the ocean from Halifax but few will be. State department cannot stretch the shipping bill sufficiently to let American pilots take the trans- Atlantle taxi Jobs. Furthermore north Atlantic weather In winter is not encouraging. There has been talk about the British stationing aircraft car riers on tbe route so they, can fly 11 their planes over, Including the short range pursuit ships, but this hardly will be attempt ed. Stationary aircraft carriers would be forked meat tor the German submarine sharks.' SIDE GLANCES "I'll sell 'em Ho you, but my experience is they give you indigestion." There can be no rreatar fullnrv than to say we should save others from defeat. We cannot settle quarrels nor maintain the balance of power in Europe. Americans must not bleed to death over there.

MEET PROPAGANDA AT tlOME (Salem Capital Journal) Not all of the propaganda that Is being foisted upon tbe weary American public has Its inception in war nor emlnates from tbe war lords ot Europe. Much of It orig inates right here at home in tbe fertile minds ot press agents who seek to perpetuate themselves in self-manufactured Jobs at public or semi-public expense. A pertin ent Illustration is contained in a statement by a "public relations director" ot tbe Oregon Pacific Highway association carried on tbe press wires yesterday. Inferring that the obsolete con dition of the Pacific highway be tween Grants Pass and Roseburg Is tbe cause of It all, tbe director asserted that 58.88 per cent of tbe automobile tourists entering Ore gon from California during 1939 turned back at Grants Pass, as against 41 per cent In 1934. He also said that for tbe first time travel on tbe coast highway this year exceeded that over the Inland route. Admitting the need for modern ization of the Grants Pass-Rose-burg road when funds are avail able without discrimination against other mors or equally important highway Improvements, It does not necessarily follow that SO per cent of these visitors were dissuaded from continuing on north by the condition of the piece of road or that It was responsible for the In creased traffic on tbe coast route, which has fully as many If not more narrow, crooked, dangerous stretches of road. Many motorists choose tbe longer coast route In summer to escape the inland heat. Another factor In the larger per centage ot turn-bacM Is the ex tensive advertising of the loop trip from San Francisco to Crater lake and tbe Oregon Cares via the Pa cific and Redwood highways among exposition visitors this year. Concentration of Improvement expenditures on tbe Orants Pass- Roseburg highway would only serve to tempt visitors h'to other existlng bottle-necks along the highway north of there, where traffic is much heavier and has ards consequently more acute. Modernization of tbe Pacific high way should be done progressively where tbe needs are most urgent. GUARD OFFICERS BACK FROM MEETING Captain .Ted Case, First Lieu tenant Dewey Powell and Sec ond Lieutenant Fred Olln return ed early Monday morning from Portland where they spent the past weekend attending the an nual meeting of the Oregon Na tional Guard association.

Nov. 21 (U.R) Mr. and Mrs. Edward Lowrle, San Francisco, formerly ot Medford. Ore., smiled when a fortune teller told them to beware of the visit of a thief. But today they asked police to help regain 1200 worth of clothing, personal effects and a radio stolen from their auto mobile. Mrs. Lowrle, 12, suggested tbe police try to find out from the fortune teller where tbe articles went. She said they had consulted the seer as they were preparing to return to their former home In Medford and were warned of an Impending theft, DINNER TO HONOR ROAD CHAIRMAN PORTLAND, Nov. 21 The Ore gon State Motor association has scheduled an Informal dinner in recognition of the recent election of Henry F.

CITY ACCEPTS UNDERPASS AS JOB HP Oil ED NOW PLAYINGI Waro Iiwm' lolhrt-diJiled Orm A v j i . - mat ! usisa . iauu iiyriU inn rnK vifcfci nnkr ivnn -itEta 0E0CED C5 The rlly council Monday night voted to accept the Mntn street underpass, subject to completion ot minor details In the pumping equipment. City Engineer E. A. Thomas told the council he con sidered the underpass construction a workmanlike and satisfactory Job. It was financed by the federal government and supervised by the state highway commission. Councilman discussed the traf flo signals on the underpsss, and In general expressed satisfaction with them. For the time being, It was stated, the red and green signals will be In operation all night. Later, when motorists become ac customed to using caution In the underpass, yellow flashes may be used late at nlgbt. Engineer Thomas was asked It the city will have to put salt or sand In the underpass when Ice and snow coals tho pavement there. Ho replied that motorists who (ravel at 10 miles sn hour and obey the lights shouldoe able (o go over the f!ght Inclines on the underpass on momontiim, evvu If there are Icy surfaces. In some Instances, oxluudud blinders will bo placed on lights to ellmlualo confusion. A sump pump Is located In the underpass, to pump out water which may accumulate there. A few electrical details on this equip ment aro yet to lia dnno. I no council discussed a story from Salom appearing In Tho Evo- nlng Herald, giving tho stale high way commissions recommenda tions for traffic signals on down town lulersectiuns. The story said tho city's share of the exponso of Installation would be 17760. Mayor Richmond said this would tako a special levy ot anout gio of a mill, but that Inasmuch as tax collections do not run 100 per cent, a higher levy would be necessary to cover. Mslntonsnce coats were men tioned. Councilman A. A. Mont gomery said tho city ought to get a ille3cl-powerotl electricity gener ating unit to generate "Juice" for city lights. It as reported that the shacks on i'aliitcr street, nenr I'uclflc ter race, discussed at last council meeting, have been ordered ro movod. Engineer E. A. Thomas nu nouncod that the WIW sidewalk program for this year Is completed. About 30,000 square feet ot side walk was Instullod, and about $4000 collected from property holders. Councilman coniDlimented Thomas on tbe Improvement at Eleventh and Upbara streets. GERMANY REPORTED READY TO MAKE USE OF ZEPS FOR HAULS BERLIN, Nor. II (UP) It wss reliably reported here today tbere Is a good possibility Ger many's Zeppelins may be used in German-Ruaslsn commerce as "freight ships of the air." . Air experts said airship trans port for the lighter and more In tricate technical products, such as optical goods and chemical appar atus, not only would be feasible but tn the long run would be profitable. They said tbe graf seppelln, tilled with hydrogen and thus hav ing great buoyancy, could take such a pay load to Russia and on tbe return trip could bring high grade vital ores such as man ganese, or any similar products Russia Is able to export. It was pointed out benefits from such an exchange of vital products would far outweigh dis advantages Inherent In the large amount of motor fuel and lubri cating oils the seppelln would consume. In addition, It was reported Russia Is most Interested in air ship construction technique per fected in Germany over many years by Dr. Hugo Eckener and that early In January a group of Russian engineers will come to Germany to study this subject. It was even reported here Russia Is showing some Interest In pur chasing one of Germany's seppe-llns. Filet Crochet Solves Gift Problems mm.
