Outside Regulations THIS week's dangerous fire at a suburban petroleum dis tribution center focuses attention again on the ques tion of regulation and fire protection outside the cor porate limit of cities. Fire Chief Keith Ambrose, renortinsr' the incident to the city council, pointed out in effect that the city has no control over regulations observed outside its limits and therefore should not be expected to afford fire protection in outside areas, . It becomes increasingly plain that additional controls must be enforced in congested areas which are growing up on the fringes of American- cities. This is a matter fur state legislation and state legislatures cannot permit it to go on without definite action to meet the growing problem. -. - " ' We have here at this time another situation that points to the same question. Employes and employers in restau rants and other food-handling establishments are asked to set up a program of medical examinations for food handlers in the city. Yet there are a number of food handling establishments just outside the city limits where such regujations would not be required, and where public . protection from disease is just as important as it is within the corporate limits. And so it goes.. The extension of the regulations of the nearest incorporated . city to cover certain activities and operations outside the city seems a possible solution that would be fair to all concerned. At any rate, the best , heads, both inside and outside the cities,: should get to gether on these problems and constructive legislation should be worked out in the public interest. Can They Take It? "THE world is watching for evidences' of the effects of I repeated bombings on the German people. . Bill Shirer, in his "Berlin Diary," told how a few British planes over Germany profoundly affected people there who had been promised that Germany would, always be protected from bombings. Shirer told of his hopes, while in Berlin, that the British would keep on coming, night after night, even with just a few planes. Now they are coming, not with just a few planes, with hundreds of them. They are staging an aerial blitz which far outranks the prolonged bombings of Britain by the Nazis. ' , - The Germans, who are great winners, are a different people when the worm turns against them. It is not be lieved they can take it as the blitz.

Contribution! following theee rule, are warmly wet- LET'S BOY BONDS KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To the Editor) For some time past 1 have been working on the Jap anese refuge at Tulelake. At a time when we are being constant ly told to save iron, they put as high as Z27 I inch by 41 inch bolts and two washers in the rafters of the buildings. These bolts were not necessary. Sever al miles of 12 inch iron pipe was used where wooden pipe would have done as good. Galvanized iron sinks and drain boards in the mess houses. Most of our logging camps get along O. K. with wooden ones. Large refrig erators, and linoleum on the floors. I heard a lot of men working there of whom I was one say they would be damned if they were going to buy any more bonds when the money would be used as it was at the refuge (I want to say that I do 'not believe that the contractors were to blame for Iron being used as it was; the plans were drawn by an army architect, the contractors had competent super intendents, and foremen, and if the men didn't work they got fired.) Well we were wrong, 1 will tell you why. I have just come back from a trip to Aberdeen, Washington, to see my son who is stationed there, and who will probably be shipped away soon. I went the coast route, the vital spots . are all guarded. It rained on us all the way up, and we were stop ped many times by soldiers, and our car examined. It was a cold nasty rain, but not one soldier that stopped us was anything but courteous and gentlemanly. If those boys can take it on the chin and smile, and they are, then it is not going to hurt me or anyone else to buy bonds. Another thing when one gets out and sees what a grand coun try we have, realize its size, and the things we have to be thank ful for, it makes our own per sonal troubles seem petty and small, and a little ashamed of ourselves, so it is up to us who can't fight in, the front lines to do all we can to support our boys who are, the biggest help we can give them is buy bonds NOW. -Another bet we are overlook ing is Ma. She is the one tijat has the babies, walks the floor with them at night, and gives them Castoria or Paregoric when they have the stomach ache, rubs Fa's back with the liniment when he gets a ketch in it. Ma is kissing those babies goodbye now, with an ache in her heart, tears in her eyes, and a smile on her lips, telling them to be good boys, she can t tell them to hurry back home as she would in normal times; she knows they may never come back. Pa's heart can break too, but FOR RENT TRUCKS and BICYCLES You Drive Move Yourself Save H Long and Short Trips, STILES' BEACON SERVICE Phone 8304 12CrEast Main it would be sissy to let on, so to him it s a grip of the hand Goodbye Dad, so long Son, be seeing you, good luck, words that don't get easier by being re peated. So folks let's give the boys. Ma and ourselves a break, let us each do all that we can to see that those boys have all the guns, ammunition, ships and planes that they need, let's each one of us in our days work see if we can t do just a little more, we will be helping some soldier in a uniform if we da, and it could be our own son. , The better our soldiers are, equipped the more of them will come home, and the shorter the war will be. So let's buy bonds, by doing so we will be helping our boys and ourselves, they are a fine investment, they are secured by "Our Country." W. YEOMAN.

German Plans Fail Before British CAIRO, June I (P) The Germans had a good Idea when they attacked the British in Libya last week. They brought along a big, mobile tank repair unit to keep their mechanical forces In order. But it didn't work; The British captured the unit. Read Classified Ads for Results L. ' u 1 mi i ii i 1 i i 'HSxs m'' TDAY f J CLOUD (fli V0M0RR0YJP VASHINOTON, June 3 The w worm hus turned In this wai turned completely over, reached its feet and Is gallon- ing. Evidence Is available on every front. The mass raid on Cologne, for instance, signalled the beginning of the groatest air-bombing campaign the world has ever seen. It Is truo no war yet has been won by bombing, but no war yot has seen such scien tific air bombardment in such vast force as Is coming up, The muis lost the air battle ot Britain because they could not stand the losses. In their heaviest bombing raids, they lost as many as 145 to 150 ships a night, or about 20 per cent ot the force Involved. They had to quit because In five days they would have needed 100 per cent air replace ments. Their averogo losses through the whole air battle ot Britain was about 10 per cent which was too much, also. They would have needed 100 per cent re placement every 10 days to ken that uc But In the Colosne raid, even If you accept the German claims (17 shot down) and figure that number of British bombers In volved as 1000, the rate of loss was only 4.7 per cent which means success, and bodes HI for Hitler s future. PURSUITS USED Thero are several reasons for this. For the first time in his tory Britain used night fighter pursuit planes to protect the bombers. One British air of ficer here was so surprised at tne press reports of this feat. he refused to believe them true until official confirmation fol lowed. The British apparently massed their fighter pursuits along the coast for a takeoff when the bombers came alone from docrj- er ininna. These fighters were then able to take care of the nazi planes sent up from the occupied Belgian and French fields to Intercept the bombers, Never before had pursuits Deen used in a night raid, and only once previously In a day- ugnt ram over France. But there Is another greater reason. Germony cannot protect adequately against bombing the vast region of her homeland and occupied military object ives. She cannot provide sufficient anti-aircraft fire at everv vul nerable placo. Nor can she shift her air forco around to meet nightly challenges which may De nunareas oi miles anart The British can hit Rostock one night, Cologne the next. RAIL CENTER Cologne was chosen for the first moss blow because it Is the biggest rail center of Ger man communications behind the western linos. It has a main rail line running from Germany to France and the main line north and south. France would not have fallen If the British could have done there 24 months earlier what they did on the night of Mav Also that rail center lies within easy pursuit range, about 200 miles from the British coast (half hour flying time.) Now when Brlt sh raid ns soon is ampiuica by American assistance, with our better bombslght (the British prefer their own swifter acting but less accurate one) you will find out now rar air bombing can go toward winning a war. The air force probably is a little over-optlmlstic In Its hopes in spain, Britain and else where, bombing usually Ik HIM l,tUYA...K.W.T.I..a.U.ir.T.O.
