PAGE TWO THE NEWS AND THE HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON July 215. 1041 III USE SHOWS blS INLAKEVIEW LAKE VIEW, July 25 (Special) Use of the airmail for business transactions by Lakeview firms it decidedly increasing, Post master Fred Peat announced today. In June 1941, a total of 1000 airmail stamps were purchased as compared with a similar amount for the entire year of 1937. In addition one Lakaview firm last week pur chased 1900 airmail envelope. Withdrawal this week of the bus which made daily airmail connections with Medford from Klamath Falls is expected to create a decrease in the total sales as the nearest connections ; will now be in Portland and Sacramento, Peat said. Previously Lakeview business men received their mail during the noon hour and could re spond by airmail with the let ters leaving Lakeview the same day on the 3 o'clock stage which connected with the air mail bus for Medford. Airmail from Bums was also routed through Lakeview, leaving here the same day it left Burns since the Burns mail arrived in Lake view IS minutes before the de parture of the outbound mail.

What is happening to the southward from Japan con cerns us RIGHT NOW. That is the difference. "N the home front Dun & Bradstreet, reporting average retail sales for this week 20 to 24 per cent above the corresponding figure for a year ago, adds: "A tendency on the part of consumers to PURCHASE AHEAD on many requirements continued to be observed." When you think you can't get it, you WANT IT NOW. Human nature is human na ture, in war as at other times.

A military spokesman an : nounced that Finnish forces were threatening the Leningrad-Murmansk railway northeast of Len ingrad, having forced a passage between Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega. (This presumably is in the Ptrotavodsk region, whore there has been heavy fighting for nearly a week.) He also reported threats to Leningrad from the southwest and south, where he said Ger man units were making steady progress on both sides of Lake Peipus and Lake Ilmen. each about 130 miles from Leningrad. The high command's brief summary of action on the eastern front added that "a large num ber of prisoners and war ma terial are being captured daily" and that Individual planes "bombed military objectives last night in the eastern part of Mos cow and north of the Kremlin."

Japan's entry into Indo-China was a specific move, Mr, Roose velt was reminded, and it was described by Welles as danger ous to our security. But we do not know what the move will be tomorrow or the next day, the president as serted.

But he said he had received yesterday re ports from a newspaperman, two magazine writors, a cabinet member and two other persons who had been around and found that since March and April there had been a tremendous change, and thjL people were far more cognizant ot the danger In the international situation. Nevertheless the chief execu tive declared, there still is in sufficient awareness.
