PAGE SIX THB EVENING HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON May 28. 1041 PC SAafU and Shop GuvUtiX FROM week to week I've been telling you about various special deals that you could find at Currln's . . . But the time seems advantage ous to mention which ones still are available . . . Because each one Is put on for a different length of time. Of course, all the specials last only as long as the supply does Well . . . Vou can get a box of the three best-selling Houbi. gant colognes, a $3.00 value, for $1.95 . . . This is the Eau Flo- rale Concentree whose fra (ranees of Magnolia, Honey' suckle and Cyclamen last long, er than most colognes. Then there's that $1.00 size Hind's Honey and Almond Cream, which Is -available there now for only 49c . I dont need to say anything more about it, because it's been on the market for about 100 years, I guess, and everyone knows about it Ybry's Infusion de Parfum Is still half price, although the re maining stock isn't very large . . . The regular $2.00 size is $1.00 . . . You use it like a cologne, but the results are more like perfume, If you know what I mean. . Just last week I wrote about : Tussy Deodorant Cream . . . And the first thing Saturday morning I went In and bought four jars, which ought to be enough to last a year . . . It's half price,' too, you know . . . The $1.00 size for 50c. i Another half-price special is to be found in Hungary Water ' and Essence Imperial Russe . . Whose gorgeous fragrances are entirely -different from any other . . . The $2.00 size for $1.00. - The Introductory special to acquaint you with the new plas tic containers for some of the Tussy" products isn't quite all gone yet, either . . . The $1.00 Tussy lipstick and 55c dry rouge, In their lightweight plas tic holders cost only $1.00 together. ;, Let's see . . . There are a couple more . . Oh, yes,' Coty face powder and . Sub-Deb pow der base . . . The two together, to introduce the new protective covering for the complexion, are $1.00. , All of these cosmetics have a government tax added, you know, - i. And as I said before, these will last as long as the sto.k . holds out . . . So don't wait t long before running to Currin's and taking advantage of the spe cials you need. The all-glass front door of a cartain store proved a daiinite haiard to a Klamath Falls man several days ago ... Ha thought the glass was the thin air of an open door . . . Bump ed into it . . . And the cigarette in his mouth was crushed up ward and burntd the and of his Uncle Sam Ready to Help Women Check Price Pegs Gal-Qle BRAND new orchestra from I California is the latest thing il at Cal-Ore . . . Four pieces W that really know their dance music . . . Although they were pretty worried at first, when they learned gas rationing was scheduled for Ore gon and that most of the Cal Ore customers come from this state. But now that that is settled, for a while at least, everything IS COMING ' Snapdragon' plants are avail able at Murphey's Seed Store , . At 60 cents a desea . . . Incidentally, you'd batter gat them Friday because the store will be closed Saturday for Me morial Day. Studio- Beauty ONE of the most satisfactory months has just passed . . . Because" I think I've done several good deeds by en c couraging friends of mine to get razor haircuts. The results have been won derful . . . And not only 'that . . . Every gal I've asked "How do you like your hair short?", has gotten shiny-eyed and an swered, "Oh, I love it." Fern Short at the Studio of Beauty on Whytal's mezzanine tells me that her razor haircut business is increasing by leaps and bounds ... So I guess lots of Klamathites will be enjoying the ease of fixing and the va riety of hair styles that this kind of haircut brings. Buy going beautifully smoothly . Including the cars on the highway between here and there! This is getting to be the Cal- Ore season, you know . . . When there are few dances on Saturday nights, and when the evenings are long and light (es pecially with the extra hour given us by War Time). It's amazing how many new people are discovering the place It used to be that I knew most of the people there, but now there are lots of new faces And it's such a friendly place that I've struck up an ac quaintance with several people during an evening . . . Swell people whom I might possibly not have met otherwise. MnApiteyX JflHE other day a gal I know S 1 rushed up to me on the I street and said hurriedly, "Before I forget, where can I get some peat moss?" . . . I told her, "At Murphey's Seed Store" .. . . And then she admitted that her mother had lost the paper In which I, wrote about this marvelous gardening aid, and had asked her several weeks ago to talk to me about it So I thought I might mention peat moss again... A 20 bushel bale, which covers an awfully lot of territory, costs $3.25 ... Or you can get it in smaller quantities. Peat moss helps aeriate the soil and thus retain moisture needed by newly planted things . . . If you have a sloping lawn, you'll have difficulty keeping it green unless you rake peat moss through the grass to keep the water from running off. . In case you've forgotten, the stuff takes about a million or so- years to maice ana comes from the huge bed at UKeiy, California . . . And if you want to know any more about it in teresting history, an authority on the subject is Red Bussman at Murphey's Seed Store. T HE last of the electrical ap pliances at Garcelon's are in the store window . . . It's a pretty full window, but after these are gone there aren't any more . . . Be cause Garcelon's can't get any more. As you'll see by the window, there are four Mixmasters, one Westinghouse roaster oven, one Toastmaster hospitality tray, and a few percolators, waffle irons, and other small appli ances. - So ... If you even THINK you may need any of these electrical appliances in the not-too-distant future, you'd better get busy and dash down to Garcelon's and buy what you want before someone else beats you to iti Wallace Appeals Murder Conviction SALEM, May 28 () The state's brief In the first degree murder appeal of William E. Wallace, Portland, sentenced to death for the slaying of Benja min J. Flnkell on August 8, 1941, was filed with the state supreme court yesterday by Dis trict Attorney James R. Bain of Portland. FinkeU was shot and killed when he protested to Wallace, who was using profane and abu sive language in front of women on a downtown Portland street. Defense attorneys have 10 days, to file a reply brief, after which the hearing date will be set. Portland Seeks Fuel From Upstate PORTLAND, May 28 m Portland sought to enlist upstate sawmills Tuesday in the drive to obtain winter fuel. City Commissioner "William A. Bowes said 150 sawmills have been asked to report supplies of wood available. The wood may be shipped to Portland by rail, he said.

You won't have to turn detective now that price ceilings are in effect Your old Uncle Samuel, to guard against racketeering by shop keepers, is shooting out specially trained "professional shoppers" to collar chisclers in the bud and save you the headache. "We know the housewives want to help," declared Dexter M. Keezer, deputy administrator of the office of price adminis tration, "but mass amateur price-checking would just be a waste of their time." That's undoubtedly true, Mr. Keezer, but who ever heard of a woman who wasn't interested in prices, in one way or another un der any conditions for their own satisfaction, if nothing else? Well, Washington has taken this into consideration, too. Robert Sessions, new head of the Consumer division of the OPA which is launching a su per-campaign to educate the pub lic in how to deflate inflation prepared this list of rules for the "kitchen commando" forces: Study the list of commodities included under the act You don't have to memorize it it's a mighty long one but see how the items chosen are all basic 'cost-of-living essentials, things that nearly every family needs to get along. Next study the list of excep tions and try to see some of the underlying reasons behind their exemption. Any raw and un processed agricultural or green house commodity" is excluded because the farmers already have a law guaranteeing them parity-plus. But since bananas are all imported, they can be covered. Fixed prices for used autos or second-hand furniture would be almost impossible to determine. Shop around and look for the best buys, for in this way you'll encourage exemption among the various stores. Remember, there Is no law against a retailer sell ing below the maximum. Don t be afraid to ask your storekeeper to show you his ceil ing list. When you do find a violation. though, get a sales slip as evi dence, check thoroughly before you act and then file your com plaint with the nearest War Price and Rationing board or its local office. Mr. Sessions foresees three stages in the development of the drastic freezing measure. The first six or eight weeks will be a preparatory period during which the vast machinery for adminis tration will be set up and the ed ucational drive will be pushed in high gear. Patience and coopera tion will be badly needed, and public reaction will be studied carefully. Then will come the first full functioning of the machinery which will undoubtedly creak and bog down till tested and readjusted. During this stage an orderly basis for complaints will be worked out, and enforcement will begin. "The real test will come," warns Mr. Sessions, "when con version is complete and short ages of civilian commodities be come acute." Then is when the fight against the "black markets," the boot legging, the unpatriotic chisclers will really begin. The trend toward standardiza tion and labelling will also prob ably increase to protect consum ers. However, the growing scar city of goods threatens to undor mine quality. But the greatest safeguard for the housewife's dollar and her way of life Is her own determ ination to make price-control work. It'll pay to learn how. PTA Notes In 1931 the primary teachers of Klamath county felt the need of closer association with others working in the same field of en deavor. Since the county was large and roads and transporta tion were poor, it seemed a great undertaking to get the teachers together. Group meetings were planned and held in different sections of the county, thus ir.ak ing it possible for at least a small group to meet and discuss the common problems in pri mary work. During 1931 and 1932 much interest was shown and the at tendance from one section to an other grew. It was an open fact that the meetings were proving a help to many teachers, espe cially to those in outlying dis tricts where few social contacts were made. With the coming of better roads and better cars it seemed possible to call all county meet ings at a central place. Alta mont, being near Klamath Falls, was named a meeting place in the fall of 1932. The program was planned to give the most aid possible in a short time. Teachers were eager for in formation but a bit backward about putting themselves for ward in the discussions. Those attending were asked to bring samples of their work for dis play. These were put up in the county office and before long the bulletin board was a popu lar place, as it is now. As time went on, teacher became less fearful of taking part in the meetings. In 1933 when transportation was no longer a great problem, it was decided to organize the group. The organization became known as the Primary Council. A president, vice president and secretary were elected. Three meetings were held dur ing the year, one in the fall to formulate plans for the year, one at mid-year to incorporate ideas gained, and ono in the Into spring to rovlew the achieve ments of the year, In the spring of 1934 the pres ident recommended that com mittees be organized for all sub jects taught. The next year this was done and committee chair men were mimed. Teachers were frco to sign and work for the committee of their choice. Tho organization has grown to such slr.e that in the past tow years it has become necessary for tho executive committees, which is made up of these com mittee chairmen, the president, vlco president, secretary and the county supervisor, to hold spe cial meetings to take cure of tho planning before tho regular meet ing is called. In 1934 there were 37 pri mary teachers In the county. Tito number has Increased until in 1940 there were 92 primary teachers. Between the years of 1934 and 1942 the following teachers were elected presidents of the council: Imogene Boothby, Lcmoine Savnxe, Mildred Kligvr, Joseph ine Penrod, Berenice Griffin. Ann Rife, Veneta Hunter, Mary Whitcline, Ethel Morrison and Mabel Hanson. Much of the success of the organization is due the capable guidance of the county super visor, Mrs. Brlxner. . Through the cooperation of Mrs. Brixner and tho county school office it has been possible for the group to have at their meetings on several occasions well known persons In the field of education. Some of these were Jcanette Smith from SOCE i at Ashland, Mr. Rice of the Rico Publishing company and author of the writing system, George Eby. visual aids director, and Tillie Schlumbcrgor, education al consultant for Scott Fores man company. The present purpose and alms of the council are to function in the interest of professional growth and the exchange of ideas. The committees compile valuable materials to distribute among other teachers. In 1941 the council became a branch of the Association for Childhood Education. In 1942 the members voted to join the state primary organization. In the same year it was deemed advisable to hold four meetings a year in order that all commit tee groups could have time to get before the council materials which had been prepared for the benefit of all. In looking back over the years of the organized council, it Is with satisfaction that one notes the progress that has been made." It was with organized effort and cooperation that our schools lived through the depression. Now; In this time of great emer gency, every teacher feels her duty and privilege to make our school system function more ef ficiently to further the best in terests of democracy. j IMOGENE BOOTHBY. 1 IT Major James B.
