OREGON January 21, 1043 MEAT GAINS MILK L m IN '41 DIETS - Father itrvtd 885 pounds more meat to his family during 1941 than the previous year of 1940, but mother poured 1438 gallons of milk less than that of the previous year, according to a year end statement prepared by city meat and milk inspector, Dr. J. C. Hunt. f"A lot of coffee drinkers must Bare decided to have it black as Dr. Hunt observed the cream consumption was 959 gallons less than the previous year. ' Estimated value of meat con sumed during 1941 was given as 5630,165, an increase over the 1940 figure of $400,000. There was an increase in the number of beef slaughtered, an increase in hogs and veal, but a decided decrease in sheep. r ,. The milk and cream producer In Klamath county during the year 1941, received $338,016.56, and compared to $250,000. A jump in milk and cream prices took care of the increased amount received as compared to the amount of milk and cream consumed.

D, Matthews, president of Klamath Buckaroo Days committee. Mat thews returned this weekend from Colorado Springs, Colo. where he attended the Rodeo As sociation of America conven tion, January 8, 9 and. 10. ; "The government has taken over a great many of the arenas for defense purposes, scores of performers have gone in to the army or navy, and whether or not the highways will be avail able for big shows this summer is a question which cannot be answered at this time," Mat thews stated. Dates for the Klamath show have been set for July 3, 4 and 6, Friday, Saturday and Sun day, and plans will go right ahead for the show. If the na tional emergency makes it nec essary to cancel or curtail plans, that situation will be met, di rectors stated. . 1 Matthews stated an unsigned letter had been received by the committee and a number of in teresting suggestions made.

McMillan HALFAYA PASS, EGYP TIAN-LIBYAN FRONTIER, Jan. 21 (UP) Capture of this German-Italian fort has released a little band of British war prison ers who spent almost two months In caves, suffering constantly from hunger, filth and boredom. At the sight of husky, sun burned South African troops swinging up "Hellfire Pass" to rescue them last Saturday, they hobbled from their holes, cheer ing in cracked voices and trying to sing "Auld Lang Syne." In a few minutes they were all weeping. These prisoners told me they had been so hungry they scraped the dry dust of the desert seek ing currants or -grains of rice which might have been dropped by their captors. A bearded, unwashed trans port plane pilot, still wearing the stained royal air force uni form in which he was clad when shot down by a German fighter plane, said he had been hungry and thirsty ever since his cap ture. ' Gasoline Can Signal "Our daily ration was a small tin of bully beef with hardtack to share among three men," he said. "We never tasted any water, and our only liquid was two-thirds of a pint daily in the form of a salty soup. "Major Bach, the German commander, whose conduct throughout the siege was most correct toward us, provided a couple of hundred gasoline cans with which he formed the large letters 'P-O-W' (prisoners of war) thereafter bombings were lighter in our area. Another pilot officer said the little band of prisoners managed to keep up their hopes through out the siege. Despite our weakness, our. spirits mounted daily as each morning we looked out through the British barrage and saw our men drawing nearer, foot by foot. Sometimes we felt the re lief would come too late but our lads, even the wounded, never murmured. It made me proud to belong to their race. I Hands Were Black The wounded suffered through lack of water and medical equip ment, and there was only one British medical orderly to care for them. As I talked to him, he held up his hands. They were black. "That's iodine and dirt com bined," he said. "We saved all our wounded but I don't know how we managed to do it, be cause I became too weak to climb the wadi to get medicines from the Germans. They couldn't come to us because of the intense and murderous fire of our shells and bombs. Nobody dared to move." The medical officer, using a penknife which was his only available instrument, had ampu tated the arm of a German sol dier wounded by a British bomb. The operation saved the Ger man's life, and as a reward, the German commander sent cigar ettes to the British. - The task was difficult," the officer said. "There weren't any bandages, and it was the hardest and most dangerous job to get any rations or any water to wash with. Morale Breaks I went through Fort Capuzzo as it was swept by a desert dust storm and climbed into Hellfire Pass to talk to the released pris oners. Some of them were r;h ered with Germans at a casualty clearing station, a small cluster of tents. "The nazis' morale began to break as they realized the end was near," they told me. I talked to two white-faced German prisoners in an adjoin ing camp bed, asking them if they were glad to be prisoners of the British. "Mein Gott ja," (my God yes.) They answered simultaneously. G-WAN, IT'S YOUR MOVE! IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, (P) Sir Hubert' Wilkins, the Arctic explorer, told a business men's club how he fell through the ice in 40-below zero weather, strip ped and dried his clothes by rub bing them in the snow. Arthur Holden and J. H. Kunz, thinking about it the next day, dared Sir Huber to do it again. They got this telegram: "If Holden and Kunz will wa ger ten thousand dollars I will gladly arrange airplane passage to Alaska, if possible next April, and duplicate before them as nearly as possible the incident referred to."
