Weekend Roundup
OUR street department is to be commended for speedy
removal of snow from main-traveled thoroughfares.
After this week's storm the snow was quickly scraped to the
center of Main street, and it was later hauled away in
trucks. We noted two or three persons, apparently visitors
from some sunny clime, snapping pictures of the snow piles
in the center of the streets. The place where such piles
have always seemed most impressive to us is Mt. Shasta
City. The piles there would make a better picture.
We have always been intrigued by the loading and
hauling of such transitory material as snow. Haul it today,
and tomorrow it will disappear from the place where you
- left it But it happens that snow piles in the center of the
streets, melting and then freezing, create a dangerous
condition. During the warm part of the day, water spreads
from them across driving surfaces, and at night it freezes
into glassy slickness. Moving the snow is sound practice.
The Klamath street department carts the snow to
vacant areas around the city garage, near Lake Ewauna.
Come warm weather, and it will melt harmlessly away.
It's not at all improbable that in a few months you'll
be seeing dignified citizens riding bicycles through the
streets and you won't raise your eyebrows and make
comments to the effect that so and so has gone balmy.
These restrictions on autos and tires are expected to bring
the bikes back into favor with grown-ups on local business
journeyings.
Thus far, there is no restriction on bicycle tires. People
with bikes stored away in basements and garages might
look them over for needed parts and repairs just in case
they may come in handy later on.
Walking and bicycle pedaling may do something to a
lot of expanding midriffs around town.
a
Not all traveling salesmen are worrying about the
effect of auto travel restrictions on their activities.
: One old-timer says he would welcome a return to the
old days when most of the selling was done on the train.
In those times, a man "on the road" would make one or
two towns a day. He would go leisurely about his work, and
once it was over, there were golden hours for swapping
stories at the hotel with other "drummers." Nowadays, a
salesman races from one town to another, jamming as much
aa he can into a single day without the forced but welcome
leisure that used to come while "waiting for the train."
If the trend is back to the old ways, we look for an
increase and possibly improvement in the current crop of
traveling salesmen's stories.
A friend of ours, expecting a visitor from Portland,
sat for an hour in a local hotel lobby the other night. He
observed a well-dressed man slouched on a nearbv daven
port, sleeping tne heavy sleep that comes of inebriation
- Presently, the man stirred, opened his eyes slightly,
and got shakily to his feet. Noticing our friend, he stag-
kcicu in uus direction, piacea a nana on nis snouiaer, ana
sKea :
"Shay, can you tell me if it's day or night?" -
''Night."
"Shank you." said the inebriate obviouslv relieved
He felt his way over to the davenport, and slouched back
into aicononc slumber.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 The
first reason we are losing
the Philippines dates back to the
millenium of 1922. We loved
everyone and everyone was sup
posed to love us. So we signed a
disarmament treaty with Japan
pledging not to fortify these re
mote isles. Japan pledged not to
fortify its surrounding mandated
islands, but shortly thereafter
started doing so. We kept to our
pledge until too late. Only three
years ago did General MacAr-
thur start training 40,000 Fill
pinos annually as a reserve force
to the small native army of 20,-
uou which included policemen.
With what we had out there
never was there a chance that
the islands could be held against
as forceful an attack as the Jap
anese mustered. They must have
been six months in its prepara
tion, collecting boats and ar
ranging supply bases,
Everyone here knew the sit
uation from the start, but kept
quiet as long as there was a
chance that Gen. MacArthur and
his valiant defendants could per
form the impossible.
