Klamath's Remarkable Record
lLAMATH county may well be proud of its defense sav-
ix ings bonds purchase record.
The announcement today that 81,000,000 has been in.
vested by Klamath citizens in defense bonds indicates a
record which we believe few counties in the state have
equaled. Unfortunately, figures are not available for
comparisons, but we are willing to claim high honors for
this county, confident that its showing will stand up in
any later comparisons that may be made.
Defense bond sales in this county have averaged nearly
$25 for each man. woman and child living in the county.
These figures do not include the $150,000 in tribal funds
which Klamath Indians wish to place in defense bonds.
They have not yet received authority to do so. The Klamath
figure does Include the $228,000 which the Indians, in
dividually, have spent on defense bonds.
There is no indication of a let-down in the defense
savings program here. On the contrary, the demand for
bonds has been so heavy the past few days that it has not
been possible to meet it in some of the classifications.
The great success of the program here is an indication
of both the patriotism and thrift of Klamath people. It
is also indicative of general prosperity and high per
capita income in this county. On the other hand, let it
be remembered that Klamath people, generally, are ac
tive people, and that there are few retired -people with
large funds to invest living in this county. Defense sav
ings investments in this county are probably coming al
most entirely from "earned income."
Left Turn Problem
T is apparent from police reports that Klamath motorists
have been having trouble with the right and left turns
at downtown intersections since the installation of the
new traffic signal system.
The trouble seems to lie in a misunderstanding of the
purpose of the cube signs which police placed in th
center of intersections to indicate where left turns can or
cannot be made. People have a tendency, on making
left turn, to swing completely around these signs, instead
of crossing the intersection inside the cube, as should
be done.
A good driving practice is to hug the center line, when
approaching an intersection with intention of making
left turn. If expecting to make a right turn, a motorist
should move over to the right as he approaches the corner.
These are things that will become a part of the driving
habits hereabouts as motorists become more familiar with
the new system.

Untied Siates' War Arsenal
Becomes Center of Strategy
Br JOHN LEAR
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (Wide
World) This country is being
changed from an arsenal for the
foes of the axis to an unpredict
able "Big Bertha" capable of
mooting guns, tanks, ships and
planes over thousands of miles
in a dozen different directions at
once.
The most potent part of this
powerful weapon is expected to
be installed soon a fire control

directed at whatever time anH
place they will be most devastat

This central control will en

allies to launch integrated at-

According to plans now being
uuttuseu in wasmngton, control
would be exercised by the heads

heads of the United States, Brit

had overrun. These men would

LEGAL NOTICES
NOTICE TO CREDITORS
The unexpected recent events
on the Russian front are easily
explained.
To start. Hitler was fool
enough to announce he was with
drawing to a winter line, the
most dangerous of all military
operations. He thought he must
advertise it publicly in order to
keep the German people from
suspecting a major retreat Thus
warned, the reds started pinch
ing the bases of salients he had
protected, to hamper the with
drawal, and they met with en
couraging success. Their hopes
were raised so high Stalin called
a meeting of his generals In Mos
cow to decide whether the forces
he had been preparing for spring,
should be thrown in now. Their
decision to gamble became ob
vious immediately. Certainly a
substantial portion of men and
materials they had been prepar
ing tor use m the spring were
set upon the heels of the Ger
mans, and these exploited the
initial successes (after Hitler
thought heavy fighting was all
over for winter).
You can tell how orderly the
German retreat will continue to
be, by watching the number of
prisoners claimed by the Rus
sians. To this writing, no sub
stantial prisoner claims had been
made by Moscow.

war and you are in a civilian
army. You never hear of good
soldiers losing sleep over ap
prehensions. But excitement of
civilians as of troops, causes de
moralization. Be prepared for
anything; fear nothing.
Now, it is equally true a num
ber of officials, suspect the coun
try has been lapsing back into
its old defense psychology and
is not being kept sufficiently
keyed up. No doubt the well
meaning defense workers think J
they are helping to cure this:
situation by spreading excite
ment. But excitement and de
termination are opposites. Ter
ror and alertness do not belong
together. Determination and
alertness, all must contribute.
Excitement and terror, all must
avoid. i
