Early in t'ae coming year, final authorization of funds should come from the federal government for this important proposal. It is understood here that a $600,000 appropriation to start the work is to be in the first deficiency bill to come up for passage when congress meets. That is the action that will assure the sump program, and there" is good reason to believe it is virtually "in the bag." Recent developments have added weight to the argu ments for this self-liquidating project. Wet weather lias poured additional run-off into the Tule lake basin, and the excess water there is a serious threat to farm land within the sump area. All of this has resulted in re newed support in the Tulelake district for the sump project, which will remove excess wafer through a tun nel from the Tule lake basin to the Lower piamath basin, where it will be of. great value. The sump project began as a vision among civic minded men of this community. A practical survey was made through the efforts of the Klamath countv 'cham ber of commerce, to be followed later by a thorough investigation by agents of the federal government. Thev reported favorably, and that is why it is now believed the project is going to go through. The constructive ideas of several years ago may soon beaf fruit. Greetings GREfeTINGS of the New Year to the great and grow ing family of readers and friends of The Evenino Herald and The Klamath News. Their patronage and support .have made the past year a successful one for these newspapers. We deeply ap preciate the friendly helpfulness, the constructive crit icism, the "tips" and suggestions that make it possible for our newspapers to continue and to improve their services to their readers. .. , , , We expect to work constructively in the coming year for Klamath Falls and the vast surrounding territory We expect to make The Herald anld The News better newspapers. than ever but not better than thev should be in the service of a great area rich in resources and ; populated by a fine, progressive people. .sni ? our readers J" Klamath Falls and the Midland Empire, we say Happy New Year, confident that it is going to be just that! To Make Paying Easier THE city has a little difficulty now and then in collect ing street assessments. There are occasional com plaints from property holders that they haven't got their moneys worth in the paving they use. To those who feel that way, we suggest a little side tap on some of the 'streets where the propertv holders don t have any paving assessments to pay. . It has been an unusually wet late December nrf ?s this is written January is starting off in good old Wil lamette valley style. If you want to feel better about paying for. your paving, try a street that doesn't have It and see what this juicy weather has done to it By DH. MORRIS FISHBEIX Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygela, the Health Magazine TN certain parts of the body . where there 1b likely to be much rubbing or pressure, the tissues develop sacs ot fluid which serve to minimize the effect of the irritation. Tailors get these little sacs of fluid or bumps from sitting with their legs crossed. Many people get similar bumps from wearing shoes that fit badly. These ap pear In the form of bunions at the head ot the big toe, where the bursa forms between the hard ened skin and the calloused bone. Little ones form occasionally un der hard corns. As a result of continued irrita tion and pressure, the bursa may become distended with fluid, after which it will hurt when touched and become tender and painful when the joint Is moved. If the condition Is chronic, the walls of the sac containing the fluid be come thick. There may be bleed ing Into the bursa, and when the blood clots. It will become more solid to the touch. , Dr. L. R. Broster has listed the areas in which the bursas occur most often. The one that occurs over the front of the knee cap is called prepatellar bursa, and also gives rise to a condition known as housemaid's knee. These bursas may occur also back ot the knee cap sometimes at the back of the knee Itself whore there may be pressure from the clothing. Sometimes there is bursa at the hip joint, some times under the buttocks and, oc casionally, at the back of the leg where the long tendon comes up from the heel. Sometimes a bursa will form at the elbow, particularly In miners and alh- I letes. FInnlly there is a bis bursa, which frequently becomes inflamed, JuBt. under the big nuie cle over the shoulder. There is no Rood way to treat a bursa except to remove the cause of the Irritation or pressure that Rives rise to It. Nest bef't is to clean the skin and then have a surgeon remove oxcpfs fluid with a needle.- In some Instances, It Is not necessary to remove the fluid because continuous applica tion of heat and rest will permlt absorption of the excess fluid when the chronic Irritation stops. Sometimes an operation is re quired to remove the bursa com pletely.

OVER-IXTF.RPUKIt'n . Scooper .Mr. i'.oo::eVelt's dis patch of Myron .Taylor to tho Vatican &s oh-.-rscT is probably being over-inttrn.-e'.ed. What has ben written and said about it seems to have j;iveu it greater importance than it will attain. It does not mean peace is im minent because .'.ir. Roosevelt In bis message to tho pop's said as much. It doe3 not mean diplo matic recognition of the Vatican, because Mr. Roosevelt ' was also careful to point out it did not. And for this rwop it does not even a (Spear to bo a very serious attempt to got the Catholic vote lor 11 10. The fact is Mr. Rooaevelt's am bassadors in Paris, Loudon and clsuwhere are netting; only one side of tho peav.j and war story. If a peace move develops, It will protably show at tha Vatican firt. The Vatican ha3 connec tions with all tho belligerents ex cept Russia, is the leading influ ence In IJurope (or peace, stands lor Aziarrica.', J'Xals of freedom ot speech, worship.

YETKUAXH OF FORKIGX AVARS . l'ellcan Post 13M:t Standlug on the threshhold ot the new year, and looking back over the accomplishments ot the past, members of Pelican Post 13S3. Veterans ef Foreign Wars ot the United States, feel that optimism is justified. Under the guidance ot able of ficers the post has piled up a neat 50 per cent gain in the member ship over that of a year ago. And there is no good reason why that same performance should not be repeated In the year 1940. The maverick voterans are com ing more and more to realize and appreciate tho benefits of organ isation. Organized veterandom, as preached, practiced and exem plified by the Veterans of For eign Wars has been responsible for every ' veteran's welfare law that has been passed during the past 40 years. And we shall still continue to strive for tho equalization of vet erans' benefits, his own personal security and that of his wlfo and children. And some of our ablest repre sentatives In Washington will tell you that just such security is the very best security for thu United States of America for which those veterans have risked so much in time of war. Any government that Is nig gardly In Its dealings with Its de fenders mny expect a correspond ing depreciation in the patriotism ot the rising generation to whom it must look for a continuance of its very cxlateuco. Disabled compensation, medical caro and hospitalization are among the many achievements of organized veturiins; nud the oll glblo veteran who does not belong to a worthy organization owes it to himself to take stock of tho situation. It is not a matter If ho can afford to belong. The riues tion Is, "can he afford not to?" Next mooting of the post will be held Thursday ovenlng, Jan uary 4, 1040.

Tho three enumerators aro John A. Penny, Mrs. E. Babotto Heath, and John H. Copeland of Klamath Agency. This census, the first to be taken, must be finished by March 31, 1940, with the agricul tural and population census to start April 1. According to Mrs. Nelson, here Saturday and Sunday to giro final oral Instructions to the three enumerators who start work Tuesday morning, experts figure it will take two weeks to complete a census in an Incor porated city, and In the country districts a slightly longer time. .Mrs. Death; Penny and Copo land have Just returned from Medford where they spent four days receiving Instruction from Mooro Hamilton, assistant area manager for Oregon. Other sub-heads aro Harold Robertson, Hood River county; Lyman Erlcson, Wasco nnd Sher man counties; Mrs. Carrie, Scog gins, Deschutes and Crook coun ties. "We will get tho business nnd manufacturing, centers done be fore we start on the population census," Mrs. Nelson stated short ly before she returned to bead quarters In Bond. "Washington feels that fewer people, well edu cated, can accomplish more tak ing tho business census, but scores of persons will bo employed In taking the population census.
