Let's Finish This
lLAMATH county at the latest report was far behind
l many other counties in Oregon in the campaign for
the American Red Cross war relief fund. This is not like
Klamath county.
The reason, we suspect, is that most people have been
too busy with holiday matters to make their contributions
to the Red Cross. Business people and concerns, in par
ticular, seem to have lagged in giving, a factor bearing
out this theory.
But this is not a good excuse, for people in other com
munities, which have raised their quotas, were also busy
with holiday affairs. It is true that in Klamath county
there has been no solicitation, and it is still hoped the
$10,000 quota can be raised without it.
Let's do it now.

Few Japs in This Area
WHEN the United States census for 1940 was taken,
Klamath county had one Japanese resident a male,
born in the United States or one of its possessions.
Lake county had 11 Japanese, six being born in the
United States and five being Japanese aliens.
In the state as a whole, there were 4071 Japanese, in.
luding 2454 American-born Japanese and 1617 aliens.
Multnomah, of course, has the largest number of Japs,
but there are heavy concentrations in truck-farming coun
ties such as Clackamas, with 163; Hood River, with 462;
Marion, 193; Washington, 245. Malheur county has 137
Japanese, who are largely engaged in the sugar beet in
dustry. Siskiyou county, California, has seven Japanese resi
dents, including three aliens. Modoc county has four, all
of them being aliens.
In the general area served by this newspaper there
is no serious problem concerned with enemy aliens. There
are a considerable number of natives of Italy, but most
of these people have demonstrated their loyalty.
Travel Reduced
TRAVEL-LOVING Klamath people already are finding
their running-around restricted by the tire situation,
blackouts, and other conditions arising from the war.
It is unlikely local speedometers will show their, customary
.annual increases in 1942.
The need for shortening pleasure travel distances may
give many Klamath people an urge to find out more this
year about the interesting country close at hand. There
is plenty of It. x
For the present, unnecessary travel is being discour-

In any event the answer to the

DEND BULLETIN refused this year to toss out a "Merry
U Christmas" greeting to all and sundry. In fact, the
Bulletin confessed that for a few days before Christmas
it had no hankering to say "Merry Christmas" to any
body. But the spirit of the occasion got the best of the
editor, and at last he announced: "We'll take in most of
the world. We'll say Merry Christmas to our friends and
do it with all the old fervor. As to the Japs and Germans?
Why, to hell with them."
We knew the Bulletin would come through. We sus

time the editor sampled some Klamath potatoes that were

Carloadings Fall
Short of Peaks
Forecast for 1941
While railroad carloadings
this fall fell short nf 1ht noa Lro
prophesied earlier in the year
in some quarters, loadings week
ly through the last three months
did average 900,000, according
to the western railways commit

The weekly averaffr Ihmuoh
this period in 1941 was about
Ju,uuo cars above the average
for the corresponding weeks
last year. A highly gratifying
thing about the experience this
year, from a railroad stand
point. Is that the railroads were
able to come through the peak
season with surplus car capacity
in face of very heavy car re
quirements through three con
secutive months.
While carloadings this year
nave been heavier than in any
other recent year, they have not
reached an all time peak, as is
true with respect to the amount
of freight service being per
formed by the railroads in 1941.
Carloadings in the first eight
months this year were 21.6 per

GIBRALTAR FOR THE JAPS
Remember this war "broke for
us under the most inauspicious
circumstances. We are fighting
halfway around the world from
the homeland. We are defending
inadequate outposts that most
military authorities, knew could
not be made impregnable. (Some
folks are grunting now at con
gressmen who voted against
ouam appropriations, whereas,
if we had built a Gibraltar there,
it now is evident we would have
built it for the Japs.)
Worse than that, the fall of
the Far East may yet bring the
Japs back in force upon Hawaii
during the coming year. If the
Japs once get their hands on
Dutch oil and raw materials they
are going to be more formid
able. It will be difficult to fight
our way back ("in 1943" as
Churchill says?)
But the next time we go, it
will be with superiority in air
and on the sea.

Today's suggestion of how you
can personally help to win this
war (No. 6):
Remind any mourning dolts
that worthwhile nations grow
stronger in adversity. Softness
which comes with success is what
ruins them, or, if he is not worth
