The Eagles Drum Corps and the city band contributed much to that program, as well at to other events of the celebration. The fireworks topped it all off magnificently. S Incidentally, for persona in a position to see ft, the movement of automobiles on the hills east of town was as impressive as the display of pyrotechnics on Modoc field. This hill picture was at its best the moment the fire works program ended. Thousands of cars were then re vealed as their lights were switched on. The mountain side was suddenly illuminated like a brilliantly starry sky. Then the lights began to move, and soon formed great chains or illumination as motorists made their way down the hillside roads. "" A friend of ours who has seen Naples said the spectacle reminded him immediately of the lighted hills of that lamea city.

The first day's program usually moves a nrae slower than the others, but those who did not come back for that reason on Saturday and Sunday missed a snappy program with outstanding cowhand per- zormances. ;; We are inclined to the opinion that the show is a little long, even when run off in clock-work style. Those back- Jess seats grow mighty wearisome after several hours. The spectators, we believe, would be just as satisfied with an hour's less show, and not nearly so fatigued. It would have a tendency, also, to bring back "repeaters" for suc ceeding programs. L This year's entertainment features were the best of any year since the rodeos were inaugurated. Outstanding was Carol Henry performance with her horse, "Sweet heart" Here's a plug for bringing Carol back next year. Eldon Frock's announcing was of high calibre, al though from our position the loudspeaker system did not bring his voice through as distinctly aa it should. Mr. Frock's horse talk was especially interesting. 1 1 JaJaJJS pun TO AfD SOVIET !' It waa most gratifying, of course, that the holiday penoa passed witnout ratal accidents in Klamath county. Driving courtesy seemed to be generally practiced, and traffic control efforts of the city and state police proved most satisfactory. : : Next year, we hope we'll have those downtown traffic signals at celebration time.

It drowned out the competition music numbers given by the Eagles drum corps, as snappy an outfit as you will find anywhere. Nobody seems to be certain what started the enidemic of noise. Some thought it was a show of impatience over aeiay oi me iireworxs program, others thought it was over-enthusiastic applause. Whatever tha motive, it was unfortunate. M. E. Marriages Running High; House Furnishings Soar - By PAUL CESNER AND JOHH BECELEY 'NEW YORK, July 7 CThe Spec- lai News Service) Love this year has taken a rail position among key factor racing do mestic business totals toward new high levels. Love and marriage. i Dealers in new homes, house furnishings, automobiles and other prime civilian goods free ly admit that without the unique combination of circumstances en couraging the blossoming of love this year dally sales and back logs of orders might be much less. ' Some of the forces turning the heat on love, incubating mar riages, are the following: ; 1. Increasing jobs, fatter pay envelopes accompanying expan sion of the big $42,000,000,000 national aetense program. 2. Deferment of marriages dur ing the hard times of the 1830s. ; 3. Unsettled world conditions, causing young people to hasten marriages, grab a little happiness now, lest the draft and defense activities require their increas ing attention later. S Medina ud of marrlates rsal. ly got underway last year, in July and August, when draft registration day, which finally came October 16, began to take the form of reality. Department of commerce reports show that mere were around 1,500,000 mar riages in 1940, the largest num ber in the United States for any year In history.. The fast pace, at many cities, has been continuing thus far in 1841. Many county clerks are finding June nuptials totals were the largest for any month In sev eral years, if not the largest ever penned on the record books. The commerce department, taking into full account the mar riages of young people, also breathes a sigh of relief that old sters are marrying in increasing numbers, too. Says the depart ment: "The recent increase in the marriage rate is whittling away part of the vast backlog of mar riages postponed during degres sion years." Tne marriages, in turn, are whittling away retailers' and wholesalers supplies of beds, dressing tables, dininc room suites, refrigerators, davenports, chairs and other home staples. it s ail a merry picture at pre sent for the stores alone hun dreds et main streets. However, one Dig ogre faces merchants. Growing numbers of retailers fear that before Christmas there may be many kinds of now fart-selling goods that cannot be had for either love or money, Production of refrigerators, hot water heaters, oil burners, stoves and other household Items made of metals wanted bv de fense industries, already Is taper ing.

July 7 (UP) British Russian arrangements are underway, it was learned to day, for tha formation on Rus sian soil of Polish, Czechoslovak and Jugoslav legions to fight with the red army. The arrangements were dis closed after Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden had promised Russia military and economic as sistance with "neither reserva tions nor second thoughts." Eden's promise was believed to have been a reply to a re ported desire lor more positive British action. Ta Free Prisoners The plans for creating Polish and other foreign legions in Rus sia were reported after a meet ing between Gen. Wladislaw Slkorski, premier of the Polish government in exile, and Ivan Maisky, soviet ambassador to Britain. It was said reliably that an agreement was being perfected for the release of Polish war prisoners in Russia to fight with the Red army. It was reported that new Polish, Czechoslovak and Jugoslav armies in Russia, numbering thousands of men, would be formed into separate fighting forces. It was understood Eden had facilitated the arrangements, which were greeted in all allied circles with considerable satis faction aa -indicating Pan-Slav solidarity. Pole Meets Red A Polish government mission. it was understood, will leave for Moscow shortly. Slkortkl and Maisky, it was said, met on "neutral" ground to establish the first contact between the soviet and exiled Polish govern ments since the red army in vaded eastern Poland in 1938. While Slkorski estimated the number of Polish war prisoners in Russia at 280,000 to 300,000, there were indications that the present total probably was no more than one-tenth of those figures. Russia explained after the soviet conquest of eastern Po land that most of the Polish prisoners had been released and sent home, the remainder con sisting almost entirely of sold iers whose homes were in Ger man occupied Poland. Diplomatic quarters reported mat Moscow was not entirely satisfied with the form, extent and rate of British strategic col laboration with the soviet. They sam a growing desire had been registered in Moscow for more positive action. The specific form of action de sired by the Russians was out lined by these diplomatic quar ters nut British authorities will not permit its disclosure. Peace Overture? It was understood in reliable quarters that the British and soviet governments virtually have completed an economic agreement, the principal feature of which is the promise of de livery of a considerable supply ox ruDDer irom Malaya to Rus sia. The shipment of a small amount of Malayan tin also is said to be envisaged. den made his statement to an open air assembly at Leeds. He predicted that Adolf Hit ler would launch another peace offensive "at tha moment ha considers opportune during the campaign in Russia" and sharp ly rejected in advance any and all proposals or parleys which might emlnate from Berlin.

And the great outdoors is beck oning To the time I shall be free. I can see the distant mountains And their rugged outlines trace. And the smoky pine-clad foot hills' Down whose canyons rivers race. I can tee the clear lakes nestled In the forests cooling shade. And the mystic caves and cav erns By some trick of Nature made. can see the valleys teeming With the fields of golden grain, And the trees with fruit a-gleam- tag Through the sunshine and the rain. I can see the giant Sequoias Slumbering ' on Sierra's breast. And the Incense-laden Redwoods By the setting sun caressed. I can see the breakers combing Miles along Pacific a strand, . And the little wavelets racing Up and down the silvery sand. And m thrill to summer glad ness, To the blue of Heaven's light, To. the moon in all it's glory, To the twinkling stars at night. Yet, the highways are a calling And IH heed their voice ere long. To the tune of humming motor And within my heart a song! GEORGE B. HARRIS. 118 8. Fourth St. From Other Editors DECREES OF CURVATURE (Bend Bulletin) Now that the army has exper ienced the curves between Oak ridge and Goshen on the Wil lamette highway we are curious to know how it feels about them In comparison with the curves it took on the Mt. Hood high way on the way to California. According to' the news reports the Willamette was chosen for the return trip so that "the twist ing Mt. Hood highway" might be avoided. Which, we wonderj remains in the memories of the drivers as the more "twisting." When that news report ap peared we were ready to take an oath that there was more curvature on the Oakrldge-Gosh. en section than on any section of the Mt. Hood of equal length. Our inquiry to the highway de partment brought the informa- WASHINGTON, July 7 () General Motors coropratlon has notified the government that it will not raise prices on 1941 automobiles, the office of price administration and civilian sup ply announced today. The cur rent model year ends July 31. Price Administrator Leon Henderson said officials of the company would meet with OP ACS representatives In about two weeks to discuss prices on iv2 models. Henderson, who recently ask ed automotive manufacturers not to Increase prices without consulting his office declared to day that Generals Motors was "setting an example which should be followed by other com panies not only In that Industry but all others where there is pressure for price increases." The Chrysler corporation has refused to rescind recently an nounced price increases, and the Ford Motor company la confer ring with OPACS on the ques tion of withholding proposed increases. Three other companies which scheduled prices rises Nash- Kelvinator, Studebaker corpora tion, and Hudson car company were released from Hender son's request after Chrysler had refused. Concerning today's action by General Motors, the price admin istrator said: " We can assure any company which evidences a willingness to cooperate with OPACS a fair hearing and an honest appraisal of the facts that they ay pre sent. We don t want to put any concern into the red or out of business." tyASHINGTON. July 6 Mr. Knudsen's OPM and Leon Henderson's OPACs are settlna Into each others' alphabet. First occasion developed in the fixing of Iron and steel scrap prices. OPM apparently thought Hen derson fixed the price too low. But the matter waa Ironed out In private without being brought to public attention, and in it self represented no Irreparable cleavage. How long this dlvidod defenso house can stand, however, is a matter of Interesting specula tion. Mr. Knudsen is going ahead appointing his commit tees of Industries. Rubber and electrical goods have been es tablished, autos is half-done. Electrical goods has a repre sentative from Henderson 'a OPACs as a member, but other committees lack Henderson rep resvntntlon. The only way this setup can progress la for Henderson to use the committees In his line of defense business. He could seek their advice about what he should do. His associates are already say ing this Is Impossible. Their idea is that price fixing calls for varying action In the case of each Individual manufacturer and cannot be handled as a whole for a commodity. In au tos, they point to one small manufacturer who has recently come through a hard financial reorganization. He should be permitted to increase the price ot his car, but his financially well-fixed competitor should not be permitted to do so, they claim. Henderson obviously wants to work Independent of OPM. For the present this means manu facturers will receive orders from two government agencies, OPM and OPACs, and trouble is sure to come tho first time these orders conflict. Tho nend ing auto difficulties will prob- aoiy oring matters to a show down. The blowup may not be lona delayed thereafter.

DEAD JAPS TOKYO, July 7 (Imper ial headquarters announced to day that Japanese armies had suffered 109,230 deaths in the past four years of fighting In China, as well as In sporadic clashes with soviet Russian for ces at the Manchoukuoan bor der. Chinese deaths were given as 2,015,000. tfon, however, that on the 38 miles between Oakrldge and Goshen there were 4844 degrees of curvature and on the same distance 38 miles from Wem- me to Bear Springs there were 8808 degrees. Thus do stubborn facts rule the argument as to the curves. For driving we still Insist the Mt Hood road is the better. Jboofclng for Bargains Turn to the Classified page Some one should jack ud Joe Stalin and tell him he Is not calling off the Mlcheners and Currans in the American labor movement fast enough. Appar ently they have not been In formed of the change In the party line around to favoring American martial production. xne Peace Mobilization, the Dally Worker et al apparently got their calls from Moscow through all right, as they have completely changed face. From picketing Mr. Roosevelt as a warmonger, they have skipped around for all out aid to Mos cow, thereby proving again in cidentally where their real In terests lie. But Mr. Lew Michener. the lomenter of the North Ameri can aviation outlaw strike, is still complaining against the U. labor mediation board agree ment in the case, and BDDarcnt- ly wants to strike some more, now that the troops are out of the plant. The board gave the workers a wage Increase and a malntenance-of-members con tract, something which the Unit ed Mine workers sought for 20 years before they obtained it. This means all union members must remain in the union dur ing the life of the contract and all new workers must Join. Y;t Mr. Michener howled In a tele gram to CIO President Philip raurray. Mr. Murray replied In effect that If Michener would spend more time organizing new members and less time making false statements, It would be better for CIO. Joe Curran's peace plcketers left the White House picket line 24 hours before Hitler invaded Russia, but Joe la tying up ureal Lakes shipping with de mands that tho scamens con tract expire In June at the height of tho shipping season, so ho con make future strikes hurt. The companies want It to ex pire when the lakes are frozen over. At first Curran asked wage Increase equal to the pay received by licensed nersonnel When the companies agreed, he Miked his demand higher. Mr. Curran says his strike is not a strike, but that the men Just will not work for the wages they are getting. By this tech nique he hopes to avoid the obvious charge that he Is strik ing against defense. His union is considered the most communist of all, yet It ap pears that Slalln may be re quired to send over a couple of purgcra or liquidators to inform him gently in the Russlsn man ner that Stalin does not like Hitler anymore. Otherwise, it appears American defense ship ping win continue to suffer. Sheriff Guns for Thief Who Stole Special Pistol ENTERPRISE. July 7 Sheriff A. B. Miller had a per sonal Interest Saturday in his search for an audacious robber operating here the past week. He lost a aucclul pistol to the thief, who opened the sheriff's car, parked beside the sheriff's house. Not satisfied with that, the thief also took $27 belonging to Mrs. Nancy Daniels, the sheriff's mother-in-law, from a knitting bag on the back seat of the car. Mrs. Leo Pfeffer lost nearly 6000 pennies to the robber, who telephoned her home and told her that her aunt. Mrs. Anna Macy, was 111 and needed her. Mrs. Pfeffer found her aunt In good health but two jars of pennies were gone when she returned. HEPPNER, July 7 fP) The Heppner rodeo will be held August 19-17.
