'A'ugiwf Iff, 19"ff THE EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE TWO HEAVIEST IN E (Continued from Pago One) ' firemen dropped rope from the - railroad track above and the two iwung to the sidewalk railing. After the storm a rowboat was launched in tho underpass and t with the help of a trio of im- 1 promptu swimmers chains were i hooked onto the cars and a wrecker pulled them out. The Esplanade underpass also was flooded and several cars i, stalled but a group of children helped push them out. Other cars went dead in various parts of t town as water splashed into their . motors. Other shallower lakes devel ! oped all over town, but real rivers flowed down Main street and South Sixth street, both full from doorway to doorway in places, with merchants hastily building barricades of sacks, boxes and rags to keep the flood out of their stores. Pedestrian traffic virtually stopped as intersections and sev eral stretches of sidewalk be came impassable but auto traffic steadily increased as sightseers made the rounds to view the flood. By the time the storm had stopped the downtown streets were almost a solid mass of slow' ly moving cars. Damage appear ed confined mostly to deposits of mud, and the flooding of base ments and garages. Children had their day when the rain was over. At Martin and Union streets a group rowed around over the intersection in rowboat. At the Main street underpass, youngsters in bathing suits Ventured into the edge of the roily water, and any large pool had its quota of young cyclists. But for motorists it was gravel and slimy mud. Hot Springs hill side and other streets fared simi larly. The California Oregon Power company blamed lightning for a general power failure when two high tension lines went out for a short time. Two wires blew together on North Eighth street and burned in two, and trans former fuses were blown in other sections. The Klamath Heating com pany plant was forced down at 4 p. m. when lines filled with water and steam condensed in the pipes faster than they could carry it through. Considerable damage was done by the storm, company officials stated, and it will be several weeks before work is at normal. The plant dosed for four hours, it was learned. The heaviest of the storm eemed confined to Klamath Falls, according to reports from surrounding districts. Townsend Club Townsend club No. 1 was scheduled to meet at 8 p. m. Tuesday in the KC hall, with dancing to Howe Kinney's music to follow. . Card Party The Degree of Honor will hold a pinochle party In the KC hall Monday, August 25, at 2 p. m.

TODAY'S hot spot In the news: President Kooscvelt an nounces a new service to ferry American warplanes (bombers, chiefly) direct to West Africa and thence on to the Middle East. (Just as American bombers are now being ferried across the north Atlantic to England. Apart from its interest as a dramatic development In war transportation, it highlights the coming importance of Iraq and Iran in the fighting. (Continued from Page One) Married men who desire dis charge at the end of the original ly set 12 months' service were accorded third priority. President Roosevelt is empow ered to extend the service of the arrAy rank and file by 18 months under new legislation and most of those in uniform can expect to serve well past the original 12 months. The legislation also authorized release from service of some of the men. In another step affecting the armed forces, Mr. Roosevelt sign ed into law a measure doubling the bonus for immediate reenlisV ment of navy and marine corps personnel and providing that men who enlist in those branches hereafter may be held in service indefinitely during a national emergency or war. Sponsors explained that the provision for indeterminate service would not affect the ten ure of men who previously had signed for a regular six-year tour of duty. But if they reenlisted, they might be retained in serv ice for the duration of the emerg ency. .' .-. - : - . '-"To .encourage reenlistmets. congress provided that the pres ent bonus ranging from $25 to $50 per year of service be dou bled for immediate reenlistment. Thus a man who had served six years and had attained one of the top three pay grades would receive $600 bonus if he signed up within 24 hours of the com pletion of his enlistment period, but only $300, the present rate, if he waited as long as 30 days to sign.

President Asks Campaign Against Accident Losses WASHINGTON. Aug. 19 (P) President Roosevelt called upon every American citizen in a proc lamation today to enlist in a campaign against accidents and prevent "wastage of human and material resources of the na tion." He asked the National Safety council to lead a "concerted and Intensified campaign," since the nation is confronted with a "rapidly rising accident toll."

Traffic accidents alone caused 34,500 deaths last year, he said, and this year has shown a 17 per cent Increase in such fatalities. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY FOR SALE Trailer house. 1143 Pine.
