a reams dreamed that did not come to realization. War
and tne approach of war sidetracked them, but they will
be taken up later, when there is time.
A pleasing aspect of the past year was the lack of
local bickering and controversy, which has marred too
many of the years now vrone. Puhlic official trnnmniiv
worked smoothly together, with constructive results.
An exception to this harmonious Dictum nmv 1m fnmni
In the labor disputes that occurred in 1941. These were
inevitable and yet. they were less serious than tlinsn
that have been experienced elsewhere under similar cir
cumstances, and as the year ends these difficulties have
generally faded into the background. i
Surely, in the year to come, there will h tri-pnt-nr naA
than ever for friendly understanding and active cooper
ation among all our people. There will be no time for
petty quarreling that so often snnntrs simnlv from boro-
dom with monotony and a desire for "a little excitement."
Nineteen forty-two will brintr nlentv of pvrMrpmnnr
without that, and before it is over we iyiav ha lnncrin.r
for a little peace-time monotony. M. E.

IK the .column which appeared under this heading a year
,'ago, there was expression of apprehension over the
prospects for the new year then dawning. "It will be a
fateful year," we said, fearing what has happened the
outbreak of war in the Pacific. That event has over
shadowed all else in 1941 for the Midland Empire, and
for, all America.
A disturbed world enters 1942. Here in the Klamath
country, almost dead center on the Pacific coast, the sig
nificance of the situation is well realized. Here the dan
ger and the challenge of what happened on December
7 struck with tremendous impact on the consciousness of
the people. And here, we believe, sound, sensible Amer
icans, who have kept their feet on the ground throughout
trying emotional experiences of the last two years, are
prepared to meet without flinching whatever 1942 has , Sloan, secretary; Adolph Zamsky,
ta offer.
And that, let there be no doubt, will be plenty! No
tsoughtful person says ' Happy New Year" without real
lflng it.
The newly elected officers of
the Junior chamber of commerce
will be installed at the next
meeting of that organization,
Monday night, January 5 at the
Hotel Elk. Regardless of pres
ent conditions, the new men are
looking forward with optimism
to the future of Klamath county
and promise their support in all
efforts to continue the progress
made in our community by them
selves and all other civic groups.
Those going Into office are Dr.
Hugh Currin, president; Howard
H. Smith, vice president; Donald
Now that it has happened, the outbreak of war can
perhaps be more coolly and realistically viewed than
when it was out there in sinister prospect. We know that
fir 1942 it means busy, hard-working, alert months ahead
It means business.
For arrexample-well worth emulating, let us consider
tie plans of Klamath s agriculturists. A survey among
tfcem shows intention to produce more extensively than
ever before the crops that mean foodstuffs for a nation
at war. They started it as a plan to produce "food for
dfefense" but they soon changed their siogan to "food for
fjghting." from Klamath s fertile crop land and its far
flung ranges will come an unprecedented flow of meat,
vegetables, dairy and poultry products. Only an unbe-

the same pattern. We must give our best to whatever job
if laid tmt for us and if there are those who don't know
What their job is, they should be finding out
J -
f So much for 1942.
Looking back over 1941. there are imDortant thincrs
which can be viewed with satisfaction by the citizen of
xpis community.
The year saw the extensive development of Klamath's
ine municipal airport. This came through federal aid,
bfit not without significant local help. Klamath Falls
people voted overwhelmingly the money to finance the
community's part in the development. They are ready,
we Deneve, to carry on lurtfter if the airport comes to
Way a more definite part in the defense of this section
df our country.
The airport stands as the major civic achievement
of tne year.

. Klamath. Falls got ahead in working out the traffic
problems that have plagued us through years of rapid
growth. A signal system brought .orderliness to down
town traffic. A community-wide traffic safety program
was illobiiuiea.
The year saw the steady development of the Tule lake
sump and tunnel project, long a major civic enterprise
here. It saw further work on the main highways of this

Hunting, 22, Merrill, farm work
er, native of Utah. Sylvia Fran
ces Taylor, 18. Pasco. Wash..
waitress, native of Washington I
yASHlNGTON, Dec. 31 The
future form of the world we
are striving for, was not men
tioned publicly by Messrs. Roose
velt and Churchill. With Russia
and China absent, possibly they
decided to lot tho four free
doms stand as tho broad war aim
(freedom of speech, religion,
from fear, from want) without
further detail. Yet, this new year
eve (ns all thinking citizens will)
thb principal officials have
nuturally let their thought drift
to what will come after victory.
A United States of Europe or
a loose federation of European
states is what most foresee as
the main prospect. Either would
no doubt be accomplished under
the guiding hand of Britain and
Russia, but with the knowledge
that the United States of Am
erica, with all its facilities and
resources, is bound to bo the
greatest producing nation in
peacetime history.
Such a union or federation
should find encouragement in a
decline of nationalism and a
postwar revulsion against it.
Hitler's plan to save Europo by
conquest has already failed. His
conquered nations are not pro
ducing either for him or for
themselves. He cannot get them
to produce his way.
It is obvious, too, that this
future union or federation must
be founded upon the capitalistic
and gold systems fundamentally,
if it is to deal in a world in
which the United States and
Britain are formidable influ
ences. It will have to be provided
free access to raw materials and
freer trade. It must furnish mote
convincing guarantees of peace
and disarmament.
Soaring idealists in London
and Washington are still prattl
ing about "union now," or at
least, after the war. That Idea
has outworn its propaganda use
fulness. It was taken up solely to
promote pre-war propaganda
purposes. No one In authority
wants union yet.
We fought the revolution to
get away from Britain and most
officials around here think we
were right in the first place. 1
Economically the suggestion
never made sense. The per capita
debt of the British Is so much
higher than that of the United
States, we would merely be un.
dcrtaking added financial
sponsibilities without gain.
Closer cooperation will be pur
sued to tho fullest by Washing,
ton, but union never.
