: Weekend Roundup
IT'S THE weekend before Christmas, a Christmas that
I finds Americans deeply concerned over the destimos
of its armed forces engaged in a.fierce struggle on faraway
fronts, and launched at home on a great production cam
paign designed to function with military and naval action
in bringing success to our war efforts.
The depression that inevitably fell across the spirit
of pur people at the outbreak of war is dropping away.
People, sensibly enough, are going about the pleasant tasks
of the- last few days before Christmas, planning to make
it a traditional celebration of reverence,, family reunion
and. generous giving.
Americans are closer together this Christmas than in
many years. They have a common purpose now, and they
httve thrown off petty controversies to unite their interests
and efforts. Christmas means something this year in the
morale of the American people. Let it be observed in the
true spirit
After., several days experience with the new traffic
signal system, we venture the opinion that it is a success.
People are quick to forget what a bad situation has
been,' once it is eliminated. The Christmas shopping season
here has always been a period of awesome traffic con
fusion. Pedestrians and motorists have battled in a way
that could hardly be regarded as in keeping with the
Christmas spirit. The traffic signals have brought order
out of chaos. They have made it possible to get into Main
street from a side street without risking a bashed fender.
or to get across the main thoroughfare on foot without
nsKing a broken neck.
It has been a little difficult for many people to become
accustomed to the regimented traffic at the intersections.
Typical was an incident at Ninth and Main streets Friday
night when an elderly man started across the street against
the "wait" signal, then came back at the sound of a police
whistle. "Balled up and bawled out!" he muttered, in
disgust. "I know better than that."

,, Klamath's new state guard unit has excellent leader
ship in the person of Dayton Van Vactoi, appointed to take
over command when Major Ted Case found the duties of
selective service work too strenuous to continue his state
gjfard affiliation.
Captain Van. Vactor lias years of World War and
National Guard experience. An intense patriot, he was so
fired up by the Pearl Harbor incident that this observer
felt certain he would find a way to devote his abilities and
energies to the good of the country in this crisis. The state
guard opening proved to be his opportunity.
Captain Van Vactor will malt thn tat
ncic a. uuBiuew proposition, it win not De play. And the
60 or more men who have joined np, including many World
War veterans, want it the way Van Vactor intends to make
it. ;This community will be proud of its state guard.
' ' ' V "' ';;; ,..
An, event of the week of importance here was the an
nouncement by the department of agriculture of final estimates-on
the national potato crop. .
J"he ffei""es' as they finally came out, were in line
with local predictions that were made earlier in the fall,
but failed to show up in USDA estimates until the last
report in December.
! A reduced national crop, as is now apparent, should
mean- stronger prices for Klamath potatoes.

SIDE GLANCES
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 One
official source thinks Hitler
has lost onj-fourth of hts total
available man power on the
Russian plains. Total nail casual
ties (killed, wounded and miss
ing) he estimates at 3,000,000.
The long battle line required the
fuehrer to keep an a r re y of
4,000,000 to 9,000,000' up front
continuously. He has fed this
force from his' maximum man
power pool, of 8,000,000 to
9,000,000 men. (which Incident
ally is spread thin all around
Europe in the Balkans, France
and other occupied regions.)
These estimates picture Hitler
on the verge of disaster, but un
fortunately they are not fully
accepted by other sources. An
other, authority, just as official
and usually just as accurate,
thinks most of the nazi casual
ties who were wounded, will be
available again. The permanent
nazi loss so far, he estimates at
only 580,000 to 600,000 men.
Everyone agrees red losses are
much heavier. Estimates run be
tween 2,000,000 and 4,000,000
men. Certainly 600,000 to 800,
000 reds have been taken pris
oners. (Nazi losses In prisoners
nave been relatively Inconse
quential.) But Stalin can stand
man-losses better than Hitler.
His maximum available man
power is more than half again
as large as Hitler's between
12,000,000 and 14,000.000 sol
diers.
. The differing estimates repre
sent at least the best available
balance which can be obtained
on the widely varying claims of
the Moscow and Berlin pro pa
ganda ministries.

EXPERIENCE IS
BEST TEACHER
PHILADELPHIA, (P) War
den Herbert Smith reports that
me possmility of bombing leaves
Eastern State penitentiary con
victs unperturbed.
"Most of the men feel that If
there is an air raid they couldn't
find a safer place than this,"
said the warden.
"They know the walls are very
thick."
The process of canning food
stuffs was originated in 1783
by Appert, a French chef, in

NOTES
One reason Mr. Roosevelt
stepped so fast into censorship
is mat war department has been
angry at other government
Dureaus (agriculture, commerce)
for giving out statistics on raw
materials, lend-lease shipments,
etc., and wanted overall depart
mental control to force suppres
sion of such Information v . . To
show you how unified congress
is, the anti-Roosevelt isolationists
are leading most of the war legis
lation ivan Nuys and Sumners,
the war powers bill; Senator
Reynolds the draft act; Senator
Walsh, the naval bills). Spirit
was never better on everything
except price control ... Of the
coming new 8,000,000 army,
1,000,000 will probably be In the
air corps. Immediately we will
have 270,000 more In that main
defense branch and 100,000 will
be pilots.
Only officials pleased that war
came, are the senate labor com
mittee, because it enabled them
to duck anti-strike legislation.
They frankly say so . . . On
thing to remember about FDR's
demand for a seven day week,
24 hour day. Is that time and
half will be paid for all over
40 hours, thus upplng labor costs
to the government ... It has
now been established the Jap
aircraft carriers came In from I

Saidie Orr Dunbar, slate dl
rector of tho board for mobiliza
tion of women, addressed a group
of about 200 women of Klumnth
and Lake counties Friday after
noon. December 10, in tlio Elk's
temple. She appealed on the
part of the state government and
tho national government for nil
women in this area to register
their skills and availability for
training for replacement pur
poses.
She said that the actual regis
tration would commence on Feb
ruary 16.
Mrs. Dunbar quoted from an
article which appealed In The
Oregonlon December IB, and was
released from Washington, D. C.
that a compulsory registration
of all women is contemplated
by the goverr.munt early next
summer. In reference to tills
article she said:
The women of Oregon will
never have a compulsory regis
tration. They will have a vol
untary registration beginning
February 16, llMl!. We will
beat tho rest of the nation. I
am convinced our Oregon wo
men will respond."
The purpose of this inventory
is to provide a register of avail
able women for temporary re
placement of men or women who
are needed elsewhere in defense
work. This will not bo an od-
plication for employment. Wo- i
men will bo called only In case ;
of actual need or when their :
particular services are consid-!
ered essential.
Other speakers at the meeting
were John Houston, mayor of
Klamath Falls, who spoke of the
responsibility women will have
to assume In the defense of our
country, and L. O. Arens. com
missioner for Oregon state un
employment compensation com
mission and Oregon slate In
dustrial accident commission,
who explained to the group the
cooperation that the 24 employ
ment service offices In the slate
of Oregon would render in the
survey of "woman power."
The following women have 1
been designated as tho leaders In
this endeavor: Miss Elcnora
Weatherford, member ot the !
state sponsoring committeo, Mrs. I
Jean Leverlch, committee chair- i
man for Klamath county, and
Mrs. W. E. Lamm of Modoc
Point, and Mrs. Nelson Reed of j
Klamath Falls, who will assist'
Mrs: Levcrich. '
Details of the organization for '
Klamath county have not as yet
been completed but as soon as
these plans are final the people 1
will be notified. Women who
will volunteer to assist In the
taking of the actual registration
are requested to send their names
to the local employment service.
