But actually the preservation of Health is a dutyj a duty that is doubly emphasised in these momentous days when our country's needs are so important. Health has become our first defense.

Jail Problem Discussed By City Council Postponemtn of plans to increase the city's Jail quarters, discussion of the soot, sawdust and cinders abatement and num erous other matters made up the night's menu Monday when the city fathers gathered for the sec ond meeting of the year in the council chambers. The statement by City At torney D. E. Van Vactor that he would present an ordiance deal ing with the abatement of soot, sawdust and cinders, dubbed the "Triple S" ordinance, met with applause from members of the city council who have long been urged to take action against the "black snow." ' Van Vactor told Mayor John H. Houston he had a difficult task before him, inasmuch as there is no similar rule to bo bv and there were numerous ques tions io De answered before the drafting of the ordinance. It is expected that the ordinance will be introduced at next Monday . Tht pi Hlth b DUTY, give. Drug Store" Phone 4514 7 Hi2s I to a Week h il I Sears appliance department, gets T. R.

The proposed remodeling pro gram of the jail was set aside as a post war program and plans to present the matter before the PWR, (public works reserve). were announced. City Engineer E. A. Thomas said he had worked out the plans with City Building Inspector narold Franey but that there was no chance of eettine mater ials for the job under the rulings of OPM. Copper wiring and steel for doors and windows will not be obtainable, Thomas stated and only where defense work is go ing on are cities allowed con struction materials. Franey advised the council he had figures on the job which would give the jail the entire basement of the city hall and move the inspector's offices up stairs. It would cost in the neigh borhood of $10,000. Franey stat ed and he "questioned the abil ity of the city to obtain building materials." , Ruth Olds Bathiany. city treas urer, advised the city council she had checked over her bonds and found that on Series D im provement bonds of $50,000 due January 1, 1943. the city could save S625 by calling them on July 1, 1942, and that by call ing on the same date another $50,000, there would be a sav ing of $1500. This would build up the city's sinking fund, she observed. Mrs. Bathiany will meet with the bond committee soon to discuss the matter. The council approved. The building inspector, who recently attended the FBI school held in Medford, advised the council the main topic of dis cussion was defense. "The FBI recommends that the police department in any locali ty control in the absence of the military,': Franey stated. "All ef forts are made to concentrate authority in as few persons as possible. The men who instruct ed us quote England as the source of their information. They warned us against friction devel oping from the appointments and investment of jurisdiction." The city council was advised the Klamath Bus company has dissolved as a corporation and a request was made to transfer the franchise to the partnership of William A. Thompson and R. C Sugg. Councilmen nassed the S1000 Junk dealer's bond ordinance to the third and final reading. Election of J. J. Keller, vet eran of the council, as president of that body, took place late in 1 the evening. Fire Chief Keith K. Ambrose asked the city council if the pro posed fire equipment could not be Included in the 8100.000.000 civilian defense fund which has been approved by the govern ment. The council thought that it could and it was decided to contact Earl C. Reynolds, secre tary of the Klamath County chamber of commerce en route to Washington, D. C, in an effort to have this equipment included in Klamath's quota. It was point ed out that this city is within the 300-mile range from the coast. Ambrose was also given per mission to obtain 5000 pamph lets on magnesium bombs, hand ling of the bombs, air raids and precautions. It is his plan to place at least one pamphlet in each home in the city. Mayor John Houston stated he would announce his new com mittee members for the year at next Monday night's meeting.

RUSSIANS TAKE OREL CLOSING PINCERS TRAP (Continued from Page One) sia and Libya, Hitler was re ported sending heavy German reinforcements into southern Italy for an attack on Malta, British island stronghold in the central Mediterranean. Badly needing a victory to bolster his tattered prestige, the nazi fuehrer apparently looked on Malta as a "ripe plum" ready to fall after months of incessant day-and-night bomb ing. There also was the possibil ity, of course, that Hitler feared a British invasion of Italy once the north African campaign is ended and was pouring German reinforcements into Italy to stif fen fascist resistance against any. such attack. In Western Europe The London Daily Mail said in a Madrid dispatcli that Ger man troops concentrated at points in Italy from Brindisi to Syracuse were expected from within 10 days to three weeks to attack Malta, 95-mile-squnre island whose forces have de structively attacked attempts to bolster axis troops in Libya with men and supplies. The Daily Express said that RAF observers hod noted Ger man reinforcements massing in western parts of occupied France and in Norway since Adolf Hitler took personal com mand of his armed forces Dec. 19, suggesting he "may have sent his troops to these two countries to be prepared fcr a possible invasion from Britain." A special Berlin correspond ent for the Stockholm news paper Dagens Nyheter said the German high command had con firmed reports, of several changes in the German leader ship on the Russian front, but declined for tactical reasons to list them.

Vice Lid Closing In Klamath After Army Order (Continued From Pago One) county are to be ordered closed, I am of tho opinion that the venereal dbcase problem will bo more acute after the closure of the houses than it wos be fore. By simply closing the houses the problems will not be solved and the questions then will be what shall we do with the girls who have been work ing in these houses, and what will wo do with the girls who work tho streets.' "We have another problem that doesn't exist in other parts of the slate the lndinn popula tion," Dr. Rozendul continued. "Thirty per cent to 50 per cent is minimum figure 011 Indians, both men and women, who are suffering from venereal diseases. We are probably being placed in tho position we are because Medford Is more than likely to have a cantonment of some 30, 000 men before long." Dr. Strieker explained to the state board of health at the Tuesday meeting in Salem that the board is interested only in the phase dealing with control of venereal disease. The other two phases are closure of the houses, which Is a police re sponsibility, and rehobilltolion of tho prostitutes, which is a matter for social agencies.
