Weekend Roundup
AEEDS are not a rural problem, alone. There can be,
W and are, weed infestations In the city that are
dangerous to the public welfare. The laws which require
eradication of noxious weeds apply in the city as well as
in rural areas. . ,
These statement are prompted by report from
County Agent Charles A. Henderson and City Engineer
E. A. Thomas that a survey has disclosed some serious
stands of noxious weeds in the city requiring immediate
attention. The survey was made by H. B. Schieferstein,
county weed supervisor.
A report showing the result of this survey and the
specific location of infestations is being prepared for
Eublication. Owners of the property involved should not
esitate to take the proper steps.
Some interesting things have been going on in the state
In the last week over the cantonment business.
Outstanding development was the announcement that
a site north of Corvallis had been selected, and given
priority over Eugene. The latter city, with Medford, had
enjoyed one of the "tentative" selections for cantonments
that have caused considerable excitement in those com
munities fa the past few months. Now Eugene is not off
the list, entirely, but Eugene people do not think they have
much chance. Perhaps it's sour grapes, but they appear to
be breathing a few sighs of relief.
The new cantonment site is near Corvallis, Albany
and Salem. Albany is the construction headquarters, and
th Salem Capital-Journal greeta the news with the com
ment that "we get cantonment" Inasmuch as the location
of 80,000 Or 85,000 soldiers in a district creates a strain
upon a community (even big Tacoma has complained) it
may be well that the new site is in the center of an area
heavily populated by civilians. Three cities can absorb
more than one.
Cantonment news is uncertain and confused, so far
as Oregon is concerned, despite the recent developments.
No one can say, for sure as yet, that cantonments will be
built on the Corvallis or Medford sites, f '
The Medford Mail-Tribune received a saucy letter this
week from a man who said he had come to town because
of the cantonment story and he wanted to know, here and
now and with no. if 's, and's or but's, whether there is to
he a cantonment at Medford.
The Mail-Tribune rather wearily explained, as has
been explained before, that no one knows for sure as yet,
and added that the real answer is in what happens in
Europe. If the situation there is such that the United
States continues to expand its army, the Oregon canton
meats will be built.
If efforts are being made to spread defense activities
around in various sections, rather than to concentrate them,
it would seem that this general section-should be in line for
at least the next rumors.
Northeastern Oregon has the munitions dump at Her-
miston and the air base at Pendleton. Northwestern Ore
gon has Tongue Point, Fort Stevens, and the proposed
cantonments at Eugene and Corvallis. Southwestern Ore
gon has the tentative cantonment site at Medford.
There has been some rumor that something might be
done at Bend. Meanwhile, we believe every effort should
be made to present Klamath as a good site for defense
aviation activity.
Klamath county Is off on its aluminum drive. To make
It convenient to contribute, a depository is being prepared
on the courthouse lawn. Any one with aluminum to con
tribute to national defense should take the articles there.
What is wanted is aluminum that need not be replaced
by new purchases. Nothing is gained if a housewife gives
an old aluminum kettle to defense and gets a new alum
inum kettle to replace it
It would be a fine thing if Klamath county should turn
in the finest record in the state in aluminum contributions.
It can be done.

ANSWERS DALRYMPLE
KLAMATH FALLS. Ore., (To
the Editor) In a recent issue
of the Herald I note a commun
ication by an excoal miner, who
has come out to the coast to
tell us timber beasts and saw
dust savages, how to run our af
fairs. It is true that I did join
the CIO last summer, and it is
true that I did pay some dues,
for which I am very sorry. I
assure you that if I had known
one thousandths part as much
about the IWA-CIO, then as I do
now, no power on earth could
have forced me to have con
tributed one red copper cent to
such a stygian mess. As to his
statement that I hopped over to
the AFL to get a job, there is
about as much truth to that state
ment as to most statements made
by CIO leaders. I received my
first check from the Brotherhood
the latter part of April, and
worked all winter voluntarily
because I believed in the AFL
program. Also Mr. Dalrymple,
I am working in my home dis
trict where I am known. It
wasn't necessary for the Broth
erhood to ship me to some dis
trict where I am not known, be
fore I could go to work for
them. .Is that true of all your
representatives? Also Mr.
Dalrymple, tell me this: Why
is it that you, who I am in
formed, spent most of your life
in the coal mining industry, had
to come out here two or three
thousand miles from where you
are known, into an industry you
know nothing about to get a
job?
As to AFL strikes, why try to
kid the public. They read the
papers. Not too long ago the
Oregonian listed the number of
men out on strike of that date.
It was better than five hundred
thousand, twenty-seven hundred
of them were AFL, the rest were
CIO.
As to your commy excuse, the
operators do hire them, but the
Lumber and Sawmill Workers
union fires them, also black list
them from other AFL unions.
When a member takes the obli
gation of the Lumber and Saw
mill Workers union, he states
that he is not now, and never
will be a member of any revolu
tionary organization, and he is
informed that the Lumber and
Sawmill Workers union recog
nizes the communist party as a
revolutionary organization. The
AFL is an American organiza
tion. It has a record of achieve
ment, of getting conditions for
men all over the United States
It's record is not a record of dis
ruption and discord.

POISON HEMLOCK
TIONESTA, Calif. (To the
Editor) In a recent paper you
had an article about poison
hemlock. I am enclosing a plant
known as carrot fern here. It
is grown in several gardens
here and closely resembles the
pictures of the poison hemlock
as shown in your paper.
I wonder if you could identi
fy it for me.
Sincerely,
Mrs. L. A. Whiting.
FHtnr. Nnt: The anecimen
enclosed was not large enough
for certain identification. It is
suggested that on her next trip

ing the root, to tne omce 01

will gladly examine the plant
for identification. Others who
have found suspected poison
hemlock plants might well fol

Defense
Bond
Quiz
Q. Can Defense Savings
Stamps be redeemed?
A. Yes; they can be redeemed
for cash at face value or ex
changed for Defense Savings
Bonds. For example, 75 of the
25-cent stamps total cash value
$18.79 may be exchanged for
a Defense Saving Band which in
10 years will be worth $29.
Q. Why should Americans
buy Defense, Bonds and Stamps
now?
A. Among the reasons are: (1)
It is the quickest way in which
every citizen can both serve his
country and conserve his earn'
ings, and (2) the purchase of
these bonds and stamps helps
not only to finance national de
fense but also to prevent high
prices and increased cost of liv
ing. Note To buy Defense Bonds
and Stamps, go to the nearest
post office or bank, or write to
the Treasurer of the United
State, Washington, D. C, for
an order form.

WASHINGTON. July 19 The
public may be thinking
about everything except 1944,
but not the politicians. Only off
season for them is the 30 days
Immediately after an election. In
the seven months that have
passed since the last vacation
period closed, general lines have
been laid for coming events.
From these now you can get a
fnirly clear slant on how things
are likely to go.
a
Nearest the rail In the re
publican race is the distinct fig
ure of Dewey. The New York
district attorney and racketeer
erndlcator is making himself
something more than that for
next time. He will run for tho
same spring-seated governor's
chair which catapulted Mr.
Roosevelt Into the While House,
and produced such earlier can
didates as Al Smith and Charles
Evans Hughes. The election will
come a year from November and
Dewey is conceded an excellent
chance of winning, even If LD
Guardla or Jim Farley gets Into
it against him.
Dewey, meanwhile, is keep
ing himself in the movies by
nationwide leadership ol the
fund raising for the USO, a job
which Incidentally la taking him
to all sections of the country to
make speeches, and has even
brought him 'to Fred Allen's
radio program.
The more experienced leaders
of the party are no closer to
Dewey now than at the Philadel
phia convention last year when
they declined to take him after
his few spectacular primary vic
tories. But they seem more mel
low about it, probably because
their objections about his lack
of experience will be satisfied
if the planned developments
work out. They are now In the
mood to say: "I don't like him,
but if he wins the New York
governorship, I think he should
get It."
Wendell Wlllkle Is making
himself eminently eligible In
case the country Is still at war
and the Roosevelt foreign policy
is still popular in 1944. But his
stand with or ahead of Roosevelt
has nettled so many party men
that his chances seem to rest
upon this single possibility.
A promising chance Is held by
Senator Taft. He is going the
even course of his opposition
ways without making enemies
or trying to gain popular leader
ship, like Lindbergh and Senator
Wheeler. When he gets through
with this course, he will have
probably the best record to point
back to, in case the backwash of
peace brings the usual revulsion
of popular opinion after tho
stringent actions necessary In a
national emergency.
Lindbergh has an unusual
personality which may or not be
suited to the political career
into which he Is launching him
self. His speeches show some
political savvy In the text but
are not delivered In the radio
style considered (since Landon
and Willkle) to be essential to
control the interest of a nation
al campaign audience. All those
around him say he writes them
himself, and, of course, he has
an outstanding writer of this
generation in his own household.
Little better prose has been
written the past 20 yeari than
Mrs. Lindbergh's "Flight to the
Orient" and "Listen, the Wind."
But Lindbergh does not meas
ure up to anything beyond vice-
presidential possibilities In tech-

will probably run for the senatu
from Minnesota and thereby may
have a chance to cure this defect.
