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.

put into the Christmas programs by the ministers and their

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

Reporter Watches Italians,
Greeks Fight in Zero Cold
Br J. 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

amounting to from five to 25 !
