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.

War will not stop rodeos In a
nation that thrills to the dust
and spills of arena events, but
plans ' by Individual - rodeo or
ganizations are proceeding with
caution, according to O. 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. It is
bis desire that the writer con
tact a member of the committee.

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."
