Ill Months One Yaar For the Public Welfare LIKE a guilty conscience, the proposed food handlers' ordinance came back to plague the city council Mon day night, when Dr. George again urged action on this put the touchy problem temporarily out of sight, were forced to look at it again, although at the close of the session action seemed no closer than it has been all the time. Dr. Massey suggested a plan, which has been men tioned in this column, for the payment of the ?S medical examination fees required of food handlers in the pro posed ordinance. Under this plan, employes would pay tor the first examination, and employers would pay for the subsequent examinations required every six months. There is nothing revolutionary about asking people wno worK on certain lines to make some contribution in order to qualify. Teachers must submit to, and pay for, examinations in order that the health of children may be safeguarded against- disease which might be trans mitted from a teacher. License fees are required of the various professions. Unions exact fees from their mem bers before the members can, go to work, or continue working. , ; V j That examinations of people who handle food are Important to public health seems to be generally accepted. The $3 limit on the examination fee, as required in the proposed ordinance, is very low, and the cost would be indeed small if divided in some way, such as was sug gested by the health officer. - . It would be a feather in the hat of this community ft employes, through the unions, employers, and the city officials got together on a plan for medical examinations of food handlers that would:be really effective. It would demonstrate a most worthy interest in the public welfare. Exceptional Hazards THIS year's wet spring delayed the fire season, but it .also makes the season Bow that it is upon us.

It is not enough to be careful when one is traveling in the country or the woods; a man walking down a city sidewalk can toss a cigarette that will burn up me town. Finish the Job THE Pacific northwest did i of the country in the rubber scrap drive. If Klamath county's showing was duplicated in the country as a whole, no one could have complained about the results of the nationwide drive. Even so, there is still a lot of scrap rubber around here that has not been turned in. . Deadline on the campaign is July 10. Klamath, which has done all right, can still do better. Let's make a show ing that will satisfy ourselves, regardless of what hap- pcuB m me country on tne ruDDer scrap campaign. Some Ports of To Take, Rupert Shaw Says . There are at least interlude. m this business of war that are neither grim nor hard to take, This is the conclusion of Rupert K. Shaw, 25, who enlisted three months ago as an apprentice sea man tn tne coast guard. He is the brother of Mrs. Dick Gilbert of 115 Hillside avenue. In a letter to his parents from Ketchikan, Alaska, he described jus trip through the inland pas- sage as "one of the most beauti ful trips it is possible to take." "Huge mountains rise out of the sea on both sides of the pas- sage," he wrote. "A heavy mist covers the great peaks on either iiae. Forests so dense they are Impossible to describe cloak the whole landscape. ' "Yesterday I was on lookout from 4 a. m, until 6 a. m. When 1 went to the bow, false dawn had just started. Everything was so till the only sound I could hear was the steady hum of wat er as it broke on the bow. We were passing thousands of isl ands unlike anything I have ever seen. . "Just Imagine a mountain pulled out of the Cascades, add solid blanket of balsam, hem lock and spruce and set It Into a tea ' so smooth every tree and crag casta a perfect reflection.

"There you have a picture of a typical island. For the final touch, add waterfalls that start at the glaciers on top and. fall hundreds of feet to end in an ex plosion of mist. "About 5 a. m. the blue started to change into beautiful nastel shades of red. In a few minutes the whole sky was colored like a flame. Even the ship started to cnange irom the drab of battle ship gray. The reflections had a rosy hue. A cool breeze blowing into my face made me tingle all over. "When the relief watch came up and tapped me on the shoul der, 1 really hated to leave. But I know those two hours at the beginning of the day are ones I shall always remember." Out of a little more than 144, 000 buses in the U. 8., 87,800 are school buses, 38,500 carry pas sengers within cities, 18,000 car ry passengers between cities, 2S0O carry excursionists.

News B ByjtoLMrVLtOM TV7ASHINGTON, July 6 Japai Is doing alt the obvious things preparatory to an attack on Russia. Her naval press chief, Capt. Ogawa, has broadcast around the world an immodest warning of "a huge offensive" to come. More and mora troops and equipment are being filtered in to Manchuria. And now, no less important, comes evidence that the Japs are fortifying those Aleutian islands of Attu, Agattu and Kiska as submarine bases, which could mean only the same thing that they intend to prey on our Pa- cific supply line to Russia and isolate the nearby port of Petro pavlovsk on the Kamchatka pe ninsula, the only sizable harbor in Siberia aside from Vladi- vostok. Those three rocks of Attu Agattu and Kiska could mean nothing to Japan unless she in tended to make war on Russia, No air fields could be established on them, and even carrier-based planes there must constantly fight fog. Consequently, many American news readers have been inclined to over-estimate their import ance, some indeed suspecting their occupation as a first step toward conquest of Alaska or in vasion of our Pacific coast. Those suppositions seem fantastic. But these three islands would have a real live military value as sub bases, in case Japan intends to break up Russian trade, . No one except the Russians, of course, have any trade in that part of the world. PRICE BREAK Price Fixer Leon Henderson was squeezed Into making what be called the first break in the price ceilings, raising prices on a number of fruits and vegetables. As a matter of fact it was not the first break. A few weeks be fore Henderson raised the price on canned citrus fruits. - Certain powerful administra tion senators, including Pepper 01 Florida and Connally of Tex as, steamed into Henderson's di vision with protests and got their way; . This time, however, the inne; pressure was stronger and longer. Many vegetable and fruit growers complained their prices cua not reflect parity to growers, although the price control law requires this. They went to both Henderson and Agriculture Sec retary Wickard. Even the American farm bur eau federation demanded Wick ard exert his veto power. When ne hesitated, he was threatened with a campaign of opposition in congress. So finally the farm bureau wrote a letter to Henderson de manding that the prices be raised. Henderson sought a way out. He tried to get congress to pass a subsidy bill, providing a bonus to the growers. Congress refused. His appropriation bill was coming up for consideration. He relented. LITTLE SABOTAGE Landing of those German sab oteurs . from subs along our shores has not caused grave ap prehensions here. Probably more were landed than have been caught, but Britain has been finding rubber boats along her snores constantly during the war, yet has held sabotage to a minimum. The proof that the situation is well In hand is that little sabo tage has been apparent: only ma jor incident in this country since the war started the Normandie. NO SALES TAX While the tax bill does not please anyone, it is not going to be changed much before it Is en acted about October 1. Not many congressmen are re ally dismayed that the bill fell $2,600,000,000 short of raising Treasury Secretary Morgen- tnau s goal of 8,600,000,000, at least not sufficiently dismayed to enact a sales tax against treas ury opposition. They told Mor- genthau they would add the sales tax, and hence the revenue, If he would give the word. But ha refused. ine cm is called a $8,000.- 000,000 measure, but that title may give people the wrong im pression. It will add -$6,000,000,- uuu in taxes to the $18,000,000.- 000 you ere already paying, making $24,000,000,000 in all or about 30 per cent of the national income. a a CORRECTION ' Apparently some information available in Washington is not always complete. I have received the following correction on a re cent column from a Texas editor: "I have Just made a slight change in one of your para graphs.

Its great ware houses at Sugarland are filled with refined sugar, while mil lions of pounds have been shipped to warehouses at Hous ton and Galveston. Having no outlet for refined sugar the man agement stated it had no other alternative than to close its plant. We printed pictures of the bulging warehouse. Tueanwhile the berry ctod of tnis vicinity, largest of record, ripened and died on the bushes for lack of sugar. The canning and preserving plant in the neighboring county of Orange did not open for business, be cause of lack of sugar. Applica tions for sugar for preserving, made weeks ago, are just get ting into tne hands 06 the grow ers much too late. "Three weeks ago I made ap plication for 10 pounds of sugar for canning purposes. I got my permit today.
