on "Making Democracy
Work," for the business wom

five other nations abroad, rec
ognize their responsibility in
preserving democracy and
making it work efficiently.
They now face the future
with the firm determination
that democracy will not only
work, but that it will survive.
To accomplish this all busi
ness women must work to
gether, roust know the vital
issues of national problems,
and cooperate to meet them.
The program for the in-coming
year will feature the
theme, "Strengthen Demo
cracy for Defense." A novel
want ad in the "Independent
Woman" sets it forth thus:
"WANTED: Women of vision
and vigor able not only to de
fend democracy, but to ad
vance and reform it. May be
called upon to cooperate in
national efforts, but chiefly
expected to exercise construc
tive initiative and judgment
in own communities. All ages
needed. Pay: The saving and
revitalizing of human free
dom." Business women would do
well to think of the program
themes for the new year,
which are as follows: Look
to the Spirit Within; Strength
en Democracy in Our Town;
Our Country in a War-torn
World; Faith for Living; Lob
bying for Democracy; Train
ing for Defense; Keeping Fit
for Defense; and My Contri
bution to Democracy Re

Survey From County
Chairmen's R e ports
Show Activity
The Klamath County Coun
cil of Parents and Teachers
has been taking stock of its
accomplishments and complet
ed projects during the past
year that it may understand
better what will be necoiwyy
in the way of program planning-
for another year.
This survey is mad up of
reports of county chairmen
and interviews with local
presidents. In summarizing,
welfare work, closely followed
by youth organizations and
parent education, are the out
standing achievements of the
year.
Cafeterias have been spon
sored by local groups and
many of these have quietly
supplied lunches or milk for
the needy. In some cases
clothing has been procured.
A majority of the local units'
are behind the trend of more
youth organization groups.
Thus Camp Fire Girls, Girl
Scouts, Bluebirds, Brownies,
Boy Scouts, Cubs, 4-H clubs
and safety patrols are spon
sored by various local associ
ations. Interest In study clubs has
taken a long step forward this
year with different subjects
such as homemaking, pre
school, adolescent and fam
ily relations discussed by ac
tive groups.
One-half of the summer
round-up program has been
completed in that most coun
ty units have held their pre
school clinics. Follow-up work
in the fall will complete this
activity.
An Interesting gain in mem
bership has been made. The
state office credits Klamath
county with a fifteen per cent
increase and over 1350 mem
bers. In closing the year's activi
ties, the local organization re
peats the invitation of Mrs.
F. W. Blum, newly elected
president of the Oregon Con
gress, "The strength of the na
tion depends upon the stabil
ity of the home. The -congress
believes that all prob
lems relating to the guidance
of youth should be the major
concern of the home. This
should be an invitation to
every parent and every teach
er in Oregon to join forces
with us so that the home may
play an increasingly impor
tant part in the destiny of their
state and of their nation."

v B. G. HARRIS, above, mimbii of last Fort Klamath troop,
remtmbers Llnkvllle in its early days. He's shown with Mrs.
Harris.
A SILVER . HAIRED little
"vn.mn" man . , In IK. Unll
hotel this week and with a
needle-sharp mtfmory picked up
the thread of a 55-year-old ex
perience.
The little "young" man was
S. G. Harris of Oakland, Calif.,
and the experience was that of
being a mombor of the last
troop of U. S. soldiors stationed
at Fort Klamath in the year
1U80.
The slight little live-foot-four-
inch gentleman was about to
make his first trip to the old
fort since he rode away with
the Second U. S. Cavalry In
that year and left the Wood
River valley in the hands of a
few early settlers. And he was
busy with his recollections.
There was Captain Jack.
Bogus Charley, John Schonchtn
and another Indian over whose
graves he stood guard . . . They
had been hanged a few years
before for instigating the Canby
massacre.
There was that pony race in
1883 which ended the argument
between Jack Marr and the In
dian as to whom had the best
poney ... Marr's horse, with
Harris on deck, settled that one.
There were the troops, ono
of infantry, one of cavalry,
which comprised the last de
tachment stationed at Fort
Klamath from 1884 to 1886.
There was Curly Webb, stage
driver who made a daily trip
from Llnkvllle to Fort Klam
ath.
There was the long voyage
from Kent county, England,
where Harris was born .
New York, where he disembark
ed and immediately Joined the
army at the age of 20 . . . Mon
tana, his first post . . . the long
march to Fort Klamath and the
next one from Fort Klamath to
Fort Bid well In 1886 . . . the
subsequent honorable discharge
. . . and the long business years
since, ending with his retire
ment to Oakland 20 years ago.
There were probably other
recollections to the spry little
gentleman as he sat beside his
wife in the hotel lobby. But
there was the present and fu
ture, too. The prospect of an
imminent reunion with over 60
members of his family in Sur
prise Valley, Calif and
congratulations on his brother's
90th wedding anniversary.
And then home again to Oak
land and back to those regular
afternoon bowling sessions on
the green lawn of Lakeside
park. There would be several
weeks of practice yet before his
teom would be ready to make
that annual Jaunt to Pasadena
and the yearly competition with
the rose city bowlers.
S. G. Harris, the little "young"
man, had picked up the thread,
and he was satisfied,
The' Thimble club of the
Neighbors of Woodcraft will
meet Tuesday afternoon, June
the twenty-fourth, at the home
of Mrs. Ellen Ely on Nevada
street at two o'clock. Pinochle
will follow short business
