HANDLER
EXAM TABLED
A food handlers' medical ex
amination requirement is a good
idea, but nobody wants to pay
the cost, it was brought out in
another discussion of the prob
lem at Monday night s city coun
cil meeting.
Upshot "of the evening's talk
was that the proposed food
handlers' ordinance was tabled
pending a meeting of employers,
the city health board and unions
representing employes.
Participants in the discussion
were virtually 'unanimous that
there ought to be a food hand
lers' ' examination. But even
though the examinations would
cost only $8 per year per per
son, no formula developed for
paying for them that was sat
isfactory to all concerned.
Dr. George " De Woody Mas
sey, city health officer, stated
that the government had be
come interested in the Question
of food handlers' certification
here and had intimated that un
less some local arrangement is
made, the federals might take
a hand. He said that some time
ago the unions had been asked
for suggestions as. to the ordi
nance, but none had been forth
coming. Mayor Houston stated that in
quiry . had been made among
various cities,: and it' had been
learned that Pendleton, where
there is an airbase, has no such
ordinance. He said further in
vestigation will be made.
Harry Molatore, . . an em
ployer, was the only discussant
who indicated a willingness to
pay part of the cost. He said
the labor situation is "tough"
and anything that might jeopar
dize it would be unwelcome.
But, he added, he believed the
idea of an examination; for food
handlers to be a good one and
if some-plan were worked-out
he would be "willing .'to. .bear
part- of the- expense."-" '-'1
Louis Serruys, another em
ployer, said that the labor turn
over in the food , business vis
"terrific" and if employers un
dertook to pay the cost of cer-:
tification they Would' be unfair
ly burdened with costs for employes-who
only work a short
time. - . ' --
-Jack - Hershberger, another
employer, -said he is having a
very hard time keeping helpers,
and that they might quit on any
excuse. He said he' hopes -the
examination plan ean be work
ed - out without' " requiring - em
ploye! to pay the bill. .':
That the food handlers' examinations-
arc not proving of
much- value In other communi
ties was the opinion of C.- O.
Dryden, representing the bak
ers' union.- --x.----"
G. C. Tatman, culinary alli
ance agent, said that Astoria is
the only city that imposes a
.fee upon the employe, and some
trouble Is brewing over that. .
Finally, it was decided to
postpone reading of the ordi
nance ; until later, and mean
while to . have ; the three-way
conference of employers, em
ployes' representatives, and the
health committee. .
Another old question, that of
permitting the fire department
to go outside the city, came in
for its share of the evening dis
cussion, and the fire committee
was asked to bring in a definite
recommendation , on this . ques
tion. ' . .- :
. Fire Chief Keith Ambrose
said the department had made
two recent runs outside the city.
one to the Conifer Lumber
company last week, and one
to the Oil City fire on South
Sixth street Monday afternoon.
After describing ' conditions
at;the latter fire, the chief de
clared: '
The regulations there are
bad and I think it is wrong to
leave the city and go out and
help anybody under those cir
cumstances. I recommend to
the council that our department
be refused permission to go out
side the city for any reason."
- He added that he ordered a
truck to the Oil city fire because-
it threatened the Swan
Lake Moulding company plant.
Councilman ' Rollin Cantrall
of the fire committee took is
sue with the chief, 'asserting it
Is necessary to give some pro
tection to industrial plants.
"Klamath Falls wouldn't be
much without these payrolls,"
he said.
Mayor Houston also stated he
thought protection of industrial
plants should be given consid
eration, and asked the fire com-

mittee to bring in definite rec

Chief Ambrose, however, that
leaving the city with reduced
protection in order to aid out
side property is a dangerous
policy.
The city decided to ask for a
priority rating as a prelimin
ary to purchase of additional
fire equipment under the re
cently passed levy.
It was decided the street
committee will make a check of
walks and curbs in the down
town district and notify prop
erty holders to fix any bad
places before next winter.
The council voted to give the
Klamath Humane society a con
tract for handling the dog busi
ness for one year, with an al
lowance of 60 gallons a month
for gasoline.
City- Attorney Dayton Van
Vactor was given a leave of ab
sence "for the duration" after
he stated he might receive a
call to the armed services.
Chief Ambrose asked the
council to consider regulations
which would prohibit gas tank
er trucks from parking at cer
tain places where they might
be considered a hazard.

As Forerunner of Civil Defense Corps

My MARY JANE JENKINS
In May of 1940, as Hitler's
legions cut a widening swnth in
Europe and tho average Ameri
can citizen maintained comfort
ably that "it can't happen
here," a handful of Klamath
county men were devoting
every spare hour they had to
f o r in a 1 1 o n of the Klamath
Guard.
Taking a lesson from the ex
perience of tho Low Countries,
these men were determined to
be ready for an attack from
within. For a year and a half
they organized and trained and
waited and when "Pearl Har
bor Sunday" came. It was the
Klamath Guard which was
functioning and rcody to guard
Klamath county's . vulnerable
spots.
Elected as temporary com
mander in May of 10-10 was
C. L. MacDonald, who was fol
lowed by W. J. Dinsmorc. Com-
mandor of the guard at the
time that it ceased functioning
at tho first of this year was
D. D. Vun Fleet.
Some 200 men comprised the
Klamath Guard, Most of them
have now been absorbed by the
pollca and sheriff's resorves and
the state guard, "
Theso 200 men t nil nod week
ly, 'and spent on an average of
three evenings a week study
ing military luetics, . mapping
tho county and familiarizing
tht'msolves with danger spots.
During a trial assemblage, 80
men reported for duty within
20 minutes.
As a result of this training,
they were called out Immed
iately on December 7 to take
over local and suburban patrol
and ' guard duty. Klamath
Guards were stationed at Wey
erhaeuser, Pelican Boy, tho air
port; at Baker's and Ilumblot's
powder magazines; the Ewauna
Box company, the telephone
company, the Klamath Lumber
and Box company, tho heating
plant, tho Kalpine Plywood com
pany; and patrolled South Sixth
and Spring .streets.
Working on three-hour shifts
and all-night duty, the Guards
stuck to their posts from De
cember 7 to January 1, keeping
both eyes open for sabotage
efforts and patrolling during
blackouts, Three men remained
on all-night duty during De
cember at the Guard head
quarters, Officers In charge were Van
Fleet, C. L. MacDonald, B. W,
Zollman, Ilurold Merrymun and
