Joe Sportsman Slated for
Top-Grade Gifts This Year
By BOB LEONARD
Herald and Newt Sports Editor
Hey, Joe Sportsman, quit
peek I u' In that closet. And stop
wondering about what's under
that bed.
But you might Just glance at
your checKbooK.
For this year Mrs. Sportsman
is going all-out for the best on
the market for that Christmas
morning stocking. You might
feci the pinch a liulo bit come
January, but it'll bo worth it.
Joe, for you'll be getting the best
in quality.
This year Ma Sportsman. Jun
ior Sportsman, and Brother and
Sister Sportsman are buying the
book for Joe, if this correspon
dent's survey is at all accurate.
They're laying it on the lino for
lots of those items they'vo al
ways wanted to buy but always
before put off as just a little too
expensive.
Old Joe is getting guns, top-
grade skis, fine reels, rods and
even boats. He's getting gadgets
like lambskin reel cases, fishing
barometers, all-steel vacuum bot
tles and telescopic sights.
Mrs. Joe whos doing the
buying isn't finding the field
much different from lust year.
There are few, if any, new gad
gets on the market and some
standard items are limited in
number. Uncle Sam's defense
program through Mr. Donald
Nelson's Supply Priorities Allo
cation board is grabbing off a lot
of materials. It s also using a lot
of machinery which normally
would be turning out larger
quantities of customary mer
chandise.
DON'T WAIT
It's discouraging the develop
ment of new ideas until this
thing blows over.
to.nr2,?d:vA'I?VE?-Gtdm0Uler H up ,n MeJOna-Ilto. and never seems to have enough pretty handkerchiefs,
nnaron told the clerk who showed her a great many lovely flowered hankies.
So Mrs. Joe may find retailers'
stocks depleted if she waits too
long.
For Fisherman Joe, Klamath
retailers are offering the usual
line of waders, creels, reels, ta
pered lines, flics, rods, gaffs,
nets, boats, seat cushions, bait
boxes, etc.
But, Mrs. Joe, if you're look
ing for something out of the ordi
nary How about a revolving fly
box? It looks like a cake cover
with a window In it. The cover
port revolves about a center axis.
Tho inside portion is cut up like
a pie with ' separate compart
ments for various files. Joe can
spin it around until he comes to
a gray hackle, for Instance, open
.the window and pluck out the
lure. The whole thing is tin
breokably transparent.
Or.maybe a fishing barometer?
It's a mechanism which is sup
posed to tell the angler if tho
fishing will be better or worse.
Or a thermometer which either
tells Joe how cold he is or how
cold tho fish are. dependent up
on whether It's held in the air or
dipped in tho water?
SHOTGUN IDEAS
If he's a hunter, Mrs. Joe, he's
probably heard thut there's been
a popularity swing toward luto
model shotguns big enough to
chamber tho powerful 21 inch
magnum shells.
The model is one of the few
new ldeos which finally came off
production lines cither despite or
before Mr. Nelson's SPAB. But
there aren't too many of them.
dealers tell us. They say it
might be well to make i selec
tion early.
How about an all-steel vacuum
bottle which won't break when
It's kicked around? Or an elec
tric hand lantem which uses the
railroad-type battery? It'i
dinger, somebody said, for sum
mer home and camp use.
In the flashlight line there's a
military-type light with a pre
focused bulb on the automobile
"scaled-beam" order. It's finished
in olive drab. Excellent for the
hunter who this year is confin
ing his shooting to targets on an
army artillery range.
Restricted wildfowl hunting,
more and more evident in and
around everywhere and Klam
ath Falls too, is calling for the
hunter to outwit brother bird. A
couple of decoys and bird call
gadgets might help.
If you don't mind being a golf
widow or if you're going to be
one anyway, buy Joe a set of
clubs. Now, before they're lim
ited further. Most manufactur
ers have cut club selections down
from 36 to 73 per cent, principal
ly because shafts aro tough to
buy.
LET'S CO ALONG
Or are you, Mrs. Joe, a winter
sports widow? We'd suggest you
buy yourself an outfit and go
along. And here you can buy in
duplicate, for the requirements
are about the same.
You 11 find you can get a first-
grade pair of hickory skis for
about $12, or maple boards for
even less. If either of you arc
confirmed bugs, you'H want a
better grade. If so, you can so
up to $30 for the finest in lami
nated skis.
Get him an adeauate cable
binding whether he's a snow
bunny or an expert and a good
pair or Boots.
You'll discover that In what
ever ski merchandise you choose,
most of the business volume is
being done in the better grades
Ski clothing, after better than
five years of experimentation,
has been pretty well standard
ized. It's downhill trousers, a
woolen shirt, pattarn sweater,
water-repellent Jackot, watcr-ro-pellcnt
mitts and woolen mitten
liners.
Ono of the few new Items Is a
cap with strings on tho ear flaps
The same store which has 'cm al
so has a complcto lino of boys'
sizes in ski clothing tho first
time that's happened.
Although ski styles have hit
the stationary, colors haven't.
Jackets, sweaters, trousers and
shirts come in all shades.
But forgot about Imported
wool socks and mltU unless you
hit ono merchant some tlmo to
morrow. There Just aren't any
more being shipped this way. ,
LOTS OF GADGETS
Among tho gadgets, Mrs, Joo,
you can fHid any number of
waxes, baso waxes, and Jus
plain odds and ends. Thoro's a
now goggle guaranteed not to fog
or glaro, a swivel visor, or a new
pole with a rubber-covered durnl
ring.
Two departures in automobile
ski racks gives you a cholro of
one that hangs on the side of the
car or another which slides nut
and down from tho top, enabling
you to stand on solid ground
while fastening or unfastening
skis. 11 eliminates sliding
around on n slippery running
board. Tho business works on a
couple of sliding channel liars.
When thn skis are either on nr
off, tho burs are slid back inA
place on tho car's roof.
In nil, Mrs. Joo Sportsman,
you'll find thut your sisters In
the same bout this year are pull
ing all tho stops. They're pur
chasing good goods Ilia better
stuff quality merchandise.

'Phone Line Jam Expected
. When Celebrants 'Call Up'
Mr. and Mrs. Celebrant, If
you've relatives living far away
ana plan on calling them long
distance during the holidays, it
would be well to do it on some
other day than Christmas.
Telephone lines will be Jammed
as usual despite the addition of
hundreds of- special operators
and there'll be the usual delays
in transmission and reception.
Other than the temporary use
of additional-operators, however,
there's not much phone company
officials can do about it. Long
distance calls- ovr 800 miles on
Christmas day and Christmas
eve Jump 12 times normal and
there Just aren't enough wires
to go around.
It's the only time of the year
when that happens so phone
firms can't very well see build
ing up their year-around circuits
Just to handle that one-day
volume.
There are no holiday rates be
ing granted other than the usual
custom of applying Sunday rates
to holidays. The Sunday long
distance rate Is always identical
with that, of after 7 p. m. on
week days.
Telephone officials do suggest,
however, that you. make your
call by number which facili
tates the work of the operator at
the other end and try to make
your conversations as brief as
possible. It's expected that the
long-distance volume will - be
greater this year than last.
Typewriter Ideal
For Young Author
Anyone fortunate, enough to
know a budding or already suc
cessfulauthor, will want tn
help' tho muses foster talent by
presenting a typewriter for
Christmas which is especially
equipped with all literary sym
bols such as paragraph, caret and
similar, indications.
Also helbful to those'
in studying or. composing in for
eign, languages are typewriters
available in those languages.
Wallets Excellent
Gift for Men
Double usefulness can ha ha
from one of the new wallets to
be found for Christmas giving.
In sizes for men's pockets and
women's purses, it features a
middle section which "for every
day use" ciri bo crammed with
auto license, social security card
and endless cards, memorandums
etc.
This middle section can be
removed, however, so the wal
let doubles for formal use, sleek
and flat.
