HERBERT SPENCER,
fc Perhaps you have never thought of it In just that way.
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. Preventable dis
eases, curable diseases, are needless drags on our re
sources, at time when every effort should be directed
toward making this nation strong, stalwart, impregnable.
Though you may take no direct part in the program of
National Defense, you are helping very definitely
helping by your own firm resolution not to tolerate
"half-way" health in critical times such as these.
GET WELL and KEEP WELL I Ifs your most
important duty.
. Because your physician cannot ethically speak
for himself, we are happy to take this opportunity to
remind you of his ability and willingness to serve you
In your resolution to seek the Highway of Health.
. ,.?,T 90 "ow o reputable physician. Co
operate with him. Give him every opportunity to help
you. It is a simple step to take, but one that may well
give you many added yean of health and usefulness.

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

The proposed remodeling pro

to present the matter before the

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.

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.
