Weekend Roundup THAT tremendous bustle down town Saturday (and likely to continue for the first two days of the new week) is all pointed in one direction giving. . The people rushing hither and yon through the busi ness district are bent on the friendly mission of doing something for others. : It is the spirit of Christmas. It is steeped in the tra dition of Christmas. It makes Christmas the best day of the year, and for some reason it always seems to us that the Christmas just ahead is going to be the finest Christ mas we have ever had, an extra-special Christmas. Bound up in the observance of Christmas are man's finest qualities and experiences. Love, friendship, family, generosity, reverence, religion they are all big and im portant words, and they all belong to Christmas. And no one will disagree when we say that we need all of those things more than ever before in these fading days of 1940, with most of the world overrun with confusion, strife, bitterness and terror, t . i Christmas this year falls on Wednesday. On Sunday, in the churches of the Midland Empire, services will be held in observance of the true significance of Christmas the birth of Christ ; A lot of us do very little church-going. We send the children to Sunday school while we do something else There are no doubt some of us who do not even go to church on such special occasions as Christmas.. 1 But this year, it should be different. Certainly it is a time for paying allegiance to the principles and the beliefs of Christianity which are, fundamentally, the only hope in a frightened and puzzled world. : Much thoughtful planning and hard work has been put into the Christmas programs by the ministers and their , . i .i t-i l. j l : 1 1 l 1 lay Blues in our entireties, x-ntrveu uuuaes win ucip iu repay them for their efforts. Christmas Sunday is an excellent time for going to cnurcn. i ' i Closing her work with the end of this year is Mrs. Ethel Wilson, county juvenile, officer.. ; Mrs. Wilson will be succeeded by Gerald Murray as the change is made in the circuit judgeship, which has appointive power over the juvenile omces. , ? Mrs. Wilson has given efficient and loyal service to Klamath county. She has put the juvenile offices on a plane of public confidence which we feel sure will be con tinued by her successor. " ; As she prepares to leave for work elsewhere, a word of appreciation and of good cheer for her future is in order. We gladly say it here. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 Air plane production descended recently to a point 15 per cent below the output last summer when the defense program was just starting, according to confidential- figures obtained by congressmen who have made personal surveys. Defense Lead er Knudsen has publicly agreed production is SO per cent under advance expectations, but this new figure is the first indica tion the job is bringing smaller results than at the beginning. These same congressional au thorities find the trouble is not entirely attributable to the avia tion industry. Fuselages and wings are being turned out fast enough, but bottlenecks have de veloped in supplies of modern ized refinements and gadgets. In one case, planes are all fin ished excepting light armor plate around the gun cockpits and this cannot be obtained. In another case, only a shortage of a special kind of magnetos is holding up the finished product, Navy plane production is far better from this standpoint of gadget bottlenecks than the army. The navy and army have been competing confusingly against each other for supplies in which shortages exist. But the navy received its appropriation first and got into the market first. Coordination apparently is lacking. The resulting opinion develop-; ing among the legislators is that SIDE GLANCES ecu ten a j m wavier, etc T. at arc, V, , nr. m: 'And I thought Td fict out of running n tractor on my ' old mini's furin by joining the tinny!"

WES GALLAGHER WITH THE GREEK ARMY ON THE NORTHERN ALBAN IAN FRONT, Dec. 21 UP) A shivering Italian sentry of Ber- sagierl crept furtively about an icy ledge as a zero wind whipped rus coat about his legs. -we couia Kin mm a we . wished," a Greek officer at my eiDow observed. I turned away from my peep- noie ln the observation post in ona of tha advanced trenches on this front. In this lector the fighting has reverted for the time being to world-war-type trench war fare because of the terrific cold and the heavy snows. A short distance ahead of me was mountain where thousands of Italians are entrenched with a big assortment of artillery, Behind me was a shell-riddled village; on the right a wind swept lake; on the left, the mountains held by the Greeks, The sky was lead grey, flecked wun snow iiurnes. Trench mortar bombs thudded wickedly. Overhead, there was tne crack of shrapnel shells. Occasionally our post shook from the burst of 6-inch shells nearby. The Italian sentry was a Joke to the Greeks, He moved care fully. A burs from a Greek - -. , . "-V- rifle would have finished him ln a minute. "There is no use killing him. the Greek officer, tall and tan ned, explained. "He cannot see anything, and every time one of our men feels cold all he has to do for comfort is look at the Italian sentry." But from their trenches, sev eral hundred feet above the virt ually deserted village the Ital ians were shooting at everything that moved in the little valley in the daylight. They were using macmne-guns and the 6-inch sneiis. The fact that they were dug in higher than the Greeks made it colder for them. The Greeks were surnriuirt when we showed up. They had not seen any other newspaper men, i As we drove an ancient station wagon out of the mountain path leading to the village a soldier told us the vallev road w i.nrw fire. When we reached th floor, the driver went 60 miles an hour and we raced down the shell-pitted road until we were stopped at a Greek outpost. . WHOOSHI THE DALLES. Ore. fAP. Linus Bartholdi claimed a speed record after traveling eight mnes in tour hours. He was moving a house. Their contribution to the 127 White House votes stacked up formidably against the partially absent opposition. Only 153 votes were mustered against the president, a majority, but far less than the necessary two- thirds (and 49 votes less than had been cast for the bill when it passed last spring.) A few of those who originally voted for the bill were persuad ed to switch over to join the president The leadership argu ment used with telling effort upon them in the cloakroom was that the Walter-Logan bill was a minor issue compared to the blow that might be dealt Mr. Roosevelt's prestige if his veto were over-ridden at this particular time "when the world is afire." These arrangements prevent ed a very close vote, although Mr. Roosevelt would no doubt have won by a narrow margin without them. e NAVY DEAL Initial feelers for more de stroyers have been quietly made by the British. Mild official de nials that another such deal is contemplated, however, have discounted the probability that another transfer is imminent. One large snag may be the trouble Mr. Roosevelt personal ly has encountered in getting the naval bases promised in the last deal. As first recounted in this column November 20, the Brit ish have either delayed or found objection to sites desired in Trinidad and some of the other Caribbean islands, Including one in the Bahamas. Mr. Roosevelt himself had some unsatisfactory experiences In trying to straight en the matter out during his trip, one good authority says he was flatly told he could not have the site he wanted. Whether or not he is uosct about it, the navy and army of-1 ficials, certainly are. these WONDERFUL things that are our inheritance. Up to 10 years ago, it was con sidered humiliating for even the poor working man to purchase food, clothing, and electrical equipment, etc., on monthly pay ments, let alone, with nothing down and three years to pay. In stead, now It is humiliating not to have these things, and the high powered salesmen make it seem so easy, till we are loaded up till the conscientious can't sleep nights trying to figure how we can meet these obligations with an unstretchable income. Then after three years of in tensive study and worry, we hope to take a long breath, only to find these "Invisible servants" are outmoded, or worn out, and it is to our advantage (so the high-powered salesmen convince us) we are losing money by keep ing these servants, and we start all over again, making pay ments. I am not too old to remember When we bought a vacuum clean er, washing machine, electric stove, and even a S2205 car, paying cash for each article when purchased. After using the washing machine for 10 years, it still did its job efficiently, and we sold it only when moving from that locality. Mind you, wo were not one of the hated BIG BUSINESS MEN, but had a soft drink busi ness with individual sales amounting to from five to 25 ! cents.

How ever. I dislike to sec Mr. Ben- ner bring in the sick veterans into his argument, which, It seems to me, amounts to support ror Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin. This country is committed to the policy of aiding Great Britain on the theory that that is the best line of defense for the United States. Both Mussolini and Hitler have already stated that they have a score to settle with the United States.
