OFFER TO USE
ID
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (P)
Secretary of the Navy Knox to
day declined with thanks the of
fer of Governor Charles A.
Sprague of Oregon, to turn over
to the navy the decommissioned
battleship Oregon of Spanish
American war fame.
Sprague telegraphed recently
that he was ready to give to the
government the old dreadnaught
now preserved as a monument in
Portland harbor, if the navy
could use it for coastal defense
or other purposes.
Knox announced today he had
sent this reply:
"After due consideration of
your patriotic offer relative to
the use of the battleship Oregon
it appears that use of that his
toric vessel at this time is not in
dicated. "However, your generous of
fer will be borne in mind. If at
a future date the Oregon is de
sired for service you will be in
formed without delay.
"For the present the mainten
ance of this historic shrine re
mindful of the resourcefulness,
perseverance and loyalty of
the old navy remains an inspira
tion to our fighting forces."
The Oregon was in San Fran
cisco when war with Spain be
came imminent and was hastily
called to the east coast. In an
epochal 68-day voyage of 14,700
nautical miles around Cape
Horn, the Oregon reached Key
West, Fla., and joined Admiral
William T. Sampson's fleet on
May 26, and participated in the
battle of Santiago, Cuba.
In her crew were navy men
destined for considerable fame,
including Admiral William D.
Leahy, now ambassador to
France and Admiral Harry E.
Yarnell, former commander-in-chief
of the Asiatic fleet.
Many Oregon People
Must Wait for
License Plates
SALEM, Jan. 8 (JPj More
than 80,000 Oregon motorists
Will be unable to get their 1942
license plates for several weeks
because the plate manufacturers
are unable to obtain enough
steel. Secretary of State Earl
Snell said today.
Those who are unable to get
the plates will be issued stickers
to be placed on their windshields.
Indians Are Still
Wild Says Soldier
SEATTLE, Jan. I (UP
When the army sent Pvt. Ralph
W. Miller, 28, west from West
Virginia, all he knew about In
dians was what he had read in
wild west magazines.
After accepting a ride with
two young braves in an automo
bile, Miller won't let anyone tell
him Indians aren't still wild.
They traveled 80 miles per
hour, went through stop signs,
and were chased three miles by
police who fired several shots at
the car until it crashed into a
utility pole.
"When an Indian gets behind
the wheel of an automobile,"
Miller said, "He's wild."
Police released Miller today
but held the ' Indians, Thomas
Johnson, 18, who said he stole
the car, and T. W. Daniels, 17. '

HOLDING UP BETTED
i
By MAURICE O'CALLAGHAN
Well, we're back. A little the
worse for wear, but back.
Wednesday an assembly was
held which was supposed to
bring about pep but which prob
ably brought about just the op
posite with no slams at E. E.
Vanderpool and Dutch French
who were the guests for the day.
Truly the school spirit is dead
and gone or has gone into hiber
nation for some unknown length
of time. Remarks were made af
ter and during the assembly
which were not exactly compli
mentary to the school.
Until a pep detective digs in
and finds the hidden clue to why
there is no pep running around
the school at present and then
prescribes some method of bring
ing it up to what it has been in
the past the students should not
expect our various teams to go
out and fight. There is no reason
why they should, even if they
do.
Take last Saturday at the
alumni game. There were a few
alumni at the game and every
body knew it. They yelled louder
than all the present students of
KUHS put together. Their team
won.
That is merely an isolated ex
ample, yet it is true that it hap
pens at most games.
However, we are not talking
about games in particular, so we
will return to pep gatherings. Do
students expect a team which is
not sure whether they are want
ed or not when they go out on a
basketball floor and run up and
down three or four miles a night
in practices and at games just
for the fun of it and for their
own glory. They may do it,partly
for their own enjoyment and
they may get a spot of glory for
themselves, but they do it more
for the school and those who at
tend it.
If they can exert the energy it
takes to play and win a basket
ball game the student body
should be able to bring up
enough energy to toss in a cheer
or two for them.
At Wed nesday's assembly
Dutch French introduced the
team and presented the school
the trophies which the team won
at Medford in the recent basket
ball carnival held there.
Also E. E. Vanderpool told the
students of the new plan for a
sale of basketball tickets to
adults. They will be on the order
of a meal ticket. The tickets will
have places to be punched out for
each game. There are ten such
spots. The owner may transfer
the card to another, or may take
as many as ten, (if that number
of games are still left on the
card) to a single game.
They sell for $2 a ticket and
are being sold by Pep Peppers.
They will be sold at games in
the ticket booth. With these
tickets a group or one person
saves up to $1.30 on each ticket.

Wintertime employment in
sawmills and woods operations
of the Klamath area is holding
up better than at any comparable
seasonal period since the Oregon
state employment service was
established here in 1933, Jack
Almetcr of the service said Wed
nesday. Almeter, manager of the or
ganization which is now known
as the United States employment
service, said the employment
lags are generally found at this
time of the year in the lumber
industry. However, this year,
due to the current heavy demand
for lumber, most mills are work
ins to possible capacity and con
tinuing logging whenever weath
er will permit.
Unemployment Insurance
claims are "quite heavy," the
employment leader said, due to
the slump in household appliance
and automotive sales.
Conversion of the service into
a federal agency, announced
last week, throws all employes
into civil service status without
the necessity of taking exams,
Almeter disclosed. There have
been no changes in the Klamath
branch office force, he said.
Another Defense
Class to Start
In Klamath Falls
Another defense class in weld
ing will be established at the
Klamath Union high school as
soon as an instructor is found
and full arrangements made, it
was announced Wednesday by
the United States Employment
service. Another aviation sheet
metal class will be started at
about the same time.
The welding class will be held
from midnight to 6 a. m., the
announcement said. Hours for
the sheet metal period have not
as yet been set
Employment service officials
asked anyone interested in at
tending the school to contact
them at their offices at 242 Main
street. The instruction is open
to men between the ages of 18
and 40.
The service also revealed that
10 additional sheet metnl work
ers from the Klamath school are
to report at Boeing Aircraft for
employment on January 9.
Read your newspapers for offi
cial reports of what is happening
on war fronts, and beware of ru
mors. Maj. Gen. O. W. Grls-
