f"0R the entertainment of
i munity embracing Klamath Falls and the surrounding
area of southern Oregon and northern California, local
civic workers have prepared a Fourth of July celebration
to continue over Saturday
The event has been planned in keeping with the times,
It will have strong patnotic and wartime atmosphere,
has been titled the Klamath "victory" celebration. .
For a number of years, Klamath Falls has held
Fourth of July celebration under the heading of Buckaroo
Days. The rodeo was the program around which the
whole event was built. This year, the regular Buckaroo
Days show was cancelled because of war conditions. From
that point, plans began to develop for a Fourth of July
celebration that differs not greatly from Buckaroo Days
but includes new wartime features and is based on a com'
munity-wide effort headed by Mayor John Houston. The
rodeo will be with us again; there will be a parade that
should shade anything of the
celebrations, and a religious
be held Sunday evening at
tirely new to Fourth of July
Travel conditions are such that many people, who or
dinarily take holiday trips
not want to leave the basin

tion planners deserve not only a good hand, but warm
public response through attendance at the various events
which go to make up the program. It has shaped up into
a worthwhile enterprise.

an outstanding example of courage that has no parallel
in the camp of the enemy. Adolf Hitler does not have
the courage to let those who disagree with him in his
own country stand up and say so without fear of pun

be, have done an outstanding Job throughout the war in
upholding free speech and of giving the people full in

WASHINGTON, July 3 Rev
" olutlonary extent of our
economic dislocation due to the
war is only now beginning to
be fully apparent in detailed
survey vmrtiirtfid hv envern
ment and private organizations
here.
Getting richest are the old
depressed national railroads, iiv
ter-city buses and local street
car lines in defense boom areas,
They never ran at capacity be
fore. Even the Erie railroad
paid dividend the other day
for the first time In history.
The rubber and gasoline sav-
ing program has taxed street
and bus systems in many cities
so severely that shoppers have
been asked to stagger their
hours outside the rush period,
and in Washington all down
town stores are remaining open
one night a week. Taxicab
drivers are similarly enjoying
unprecedented prosperity in
boom towns.
Defense industries represent
the next most profitable phase
of war economy, but their con
dition is full of contrasts. Some
small manufacturers, who never
did well, are enjoying amazing
success making small defense
gadgets, like noise filters for
tank radios, special gun parts,
and such.
Bulk of big business is in
gigantic operations, but profits
have not generally been in
creased, due to limitations
specified in government con
tracts, the excess profits and
other profits taxes. Many divi
dends are down.
And manufacturers who have
not been able to convert to war
business (largely metal shaping,
casting, ornamental chromium
copper, brass makers) are go
ing into retirement. It is be
lieved around 70,000 small man
ufacturers may fold their cards
withing the next year, which
would be roughly one-third of
the manufacturing units of the
country.
The fanner is doing well.
His Income will be up $2,000,-
000,000 this year, an increase of
about 20 per cent. He is buying
more and more from mail order
houses and in small nearby
towns, 'due to the gas and rub
ber pinctu In fact some experts
here believe the small town may
be restored to its pre-automobile
dignity in American life before
this war is over.
The only organizations which
will get rich and stay there,
however, are the union labor
groups. Size of their large in
come increase is a secret to
them, but they are not subject
to taxes and hence will not pay
their war profits back, into the
government.
Some carpenters who. never
made more than $35 a week in
their lives in rural areas in the
midwest are getting $100 a
week. Sons just out of high
school are in some sections get
ting more money than their
fathers for unskilled work in
booming defense areas.
But both' real estate and
building industries are feeling
painful pinch. Even in boom
areas, no one wants to buy;
everyone wants to rent.
Defense building is being
handled by a comparatively
small number of large contrac
tors. The little builder was
practically thrown out by a
shortage of materials.
Small stores, handling one
class of goods, are beginning to
be forced out (radios, phono
graphs, hardware, household ap
pliances, wearing apparel). Also
being eliminated are the small
marginal stores which cannot
get stocks.
The department stores, how
ever, have ample stocks. In
certain Instances goods are be
ing sold at less than the whole
sale cost of reproduction (New
York area report).
AUTO DEALERS HIT
The great bulk of vacant
stores on Main street so far.
however, are those formerly, oc
cupied by auto dealers.
Food and drug stores are do
ing well in most communities,
but in some rural areas, a large
number of people have left for
the army or defense jobs, and
these sections are suffering. '
Wall street Is shot, The
amusements businesses offer
contrasts as wide as Industry.
Those In boom areas, which do
not depend oh motor trade, are
profiting; the others are losing
out. Seaside beach resorts are
living from hand to mouth,
and so are the summer vaca
tion places. Summer theatres
are dead.
Doctors are scarce, due to
army cells upon the profession.
Those who are remaining in
civilian service are able to col
lect their bills. Lawyers, on the
other hand, are suffering.
The government has discov
ered more lawyers have come
to Washington in search of jobs
"His curve ain't so hot, but we always let him pitch his
dad's a bomber captain in Australia 1"
than any other class. A few big
ones, handling large contracts,
have profited enormously, how
ever.
The soft drink - industry is
staggering as far as the public
market is concerned, but some
of the largest concerns are se
cretly using their machinery in
war business under government
contracts. There were about
,000,000 salesmen on the road
in the country, perhaps not
half that many now.
LIFE INSURANCE DROPS
Life insurance business is not
good, because the white collar
people who buy it generally,
are hurt deeply by the war
economy, while the skilled
workers whose income is being
increased, generally trust to so
cial security.
In one group, there are 5,000,
000 persons employed in state,
city and local governments in
this country (mostly teachers,
police, firemen) who are facing
a 15 per cent increase in the
cost of living without increases
in income.
Some businesses are allowing
war restrictions to cut over
head. Restaurants give you much
less sugar but do not charge
you any less.
Delivery services around
Washington have virtually been
abandoned. Milk dairies now
deliver only every other day.
Gas dealers cut their overhead
with the 7 p. m. to 7 a. m.
closing and elimination of Sun
day service hereabouts, but the
cost of gas has gone up more
than 3 cents since the first of
the year.
The oil industry was a boom
ing war baby at the start, but
has been In depression since the
shortage of tankers. Some au
thorities expect the little Inde
pendents will be crowded out
Airlines lost their booming
profits when the government
seized half their planes. Clean
ing shops cannot get fluid for
cleaning in the east.
Undertakers, however, are do
ing about the same business as
usual.
VICTORY DAY
RENO, Nev. OP) Reno's war
bond drive lasted almost an hour
before the $50,000 goal was
reached.
The one man who asked that
his name be withheld bought all
$50,000 worth himself.
The goal was promptly boost
ed to $100,000.
