In a Tight Place The hardware dealer In Yak' linn, Wash,, took pen in hnnd to nun on tho dotted lino. Then he paused to ask tho traveling sales man if this patented article had rvor been on sale In that city Now the dealer down the street had once stocked tho line and tho aulo had been alow. If this new muii learned that tho sale had been alow, ho might balk and refuse to algn. What would you do? Would you (ess up that they had been slow and so risk losing the order and fifty dollars commission? Would you, with tho past week allowing high traveling expense and few orders? And more- over, If you were a Sunday school teacher and claiming to bo Indwelt by Christ and posses nor of a higher life, What? Tell tho truth and risk losing the or dcr as a Christlun should or would you put over a llo and clinch the deal. The salesman looked tho deal er-squoro In tho cyo and told tho He. 11a must mnko sure of tho money. Said ho, "No sir, the goods have never been sold in Yakima." Then ha caino to his senses. Just a sneak and an everyday liar, tho traveler saw himself to be. More than that, ho was out of step with the Lord who died to redeem him from nil sin. Thcro was Just one thing to do confess all and sec tho order go Into the discard. "Excuse me, Mr. Merchant but I am not tolling tho truth So and so dawn the street, had the goods once, some time ago." And with that tho deal was off hq far an tho salesman could sec nut' In splto of it nil and with a queer look on his face, tho man signed on the line and lutor on mailed In for more. Which counted most? Tho fif ty nnd moro dollars the salesman made or to bo back In' step with his Lord? You know which, If you 'ever lost out with n close friend and then had him back again. Wo believe that most bus inessmen Inlond to bo on the miiiaro nnd for a soldier of the cross to sloop to a llo Is tho blackest sin of nil, For Chris- linn Is hero to benr witness. And lltnt brings up this priceless truth, God poured himself Into Jesus Christ. When wo rccolvo Christ ns Saviour, Christ In turn Indwells us. God In Christ Christ In us.

Misery of lKWttnllU.UlVI.ltOo MOM raw ma BMiar- m re to" is :M Sf " m t : Mt vest Andrew Flattum, left, smiles as he recounts his experiences In war-shorn Norway to County Treasurer C. L. Langslet, an old friend. Flattum, a citizen of the United States and a veteran of the last war, was trapped in Norway by the German invasion whlln on m visit to his mother in . -. - - - He returnod as an exchange prisoner on the liner Drottmngholm ?ith 948 ether refyees. Klamath Citizen Tells Of Nazi-Looted Norway A picture of Norway denuded of timber resources, looted of dairy products, barren of un biased news and almost stripped of even electrical power was brought here this week by An drew Flattum, a Klamath citi zen who returned to America recently with 948 other ex change refugees orr the Swedish liner Drottningholm. It's a land where there has been no coffee for p year and a half; where travel is strictly rationed and meat is obtainable but once each month. Where German soldiers, propaganda and fish are the only abundance. Visited Mother Flattum, a shoemaker by trade, left Klamath Falls for his birthplace in Drolsum, Nor way, to visit his mother in No vember of 1939. He was there when the Germans came in the spring of 1940. And there he stayed until June 7, 1942. In a marked Norse accent Flattum, a short, grey-haired man with somber face but a quick smile, said he worked at his trade for a time in Drolsum and Oslo. But even though the firm was German, it ran out of materials last fall, Flattum said. The material shortage is mere ly an extension of a critical food scarcity, he related. Nor wegians must get along on one quarter of a pound of butter per week,' one pint of skimmed milk ner day and a limited amount of fresh meat once each month. Flour is compounded from a mixture of all grains and isn't what you might call ade quate, Flattum grinned.; ' . Beans And Barley ; . In place of coffee, non-exist ent since early 1941, Norwe gians substitute an unpalatable mixture of beans and barley. 1 But there's no rationing on fish which requires no planting and can't be regimented by the Quisling government, Flattum recounted. A restaurant meal of fish, ru tabaga, carrots, ersatz and cof fee and perhaps a small piece of chocolate costs $1. And that's an iron dollar,- Flattum said and produced, one to prove it. The nazis have taken all copper, sil ver and gold out of circulation and substituted iron coins and paper notes. No Firewood The little Norwegian said the Germans have taken all avail able second growth timber. leaving no firewood. Electrici ty in Oslo is turned on only for two hours at a time during breakfast, lunch and dinner hours. Half of Oslo's street cars are idle for lack of power. But worst of all, Flattum as serted, is the complete lack of reliable news. Everything, he said, is propaganda. It took the little shoemaker nearly a month to reach New York from Oslo and required nearly every means of transpor tation except air. Traveling by train to Malmoe, Sweden, Flat tum transferred to a ferry which took him to Germany. Thence by train and bus through Ger many, France and Spain to Por tugal. At Lisbon ho boarded the Drottningholm on June 23 and arrived in New York shortly nftcr the first of July. , One of his fellow diners on board ship later was detained When in Medford Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Jo and Ann Earls; Proprietors f V i i J m,-A j his Droltum.

"And I'm very, VERY glad to be back," Flattum smiled. SLATER NAMED AIR T Lawrence Slater, Klamath In surance ' man, received notice Saturday that he has been com missioned a first lieutenant in the air corps. Slater, a leader in civic and fraternal affairs here, will go immediately to Miami, Fla., for training. He later will -report to Washington, D. C. , Slater will keep his insurance business here and it will be managed by Mrs. Jack Craw ford, who has been his office manager. - The new first lieutenant is a past exalted ruler of the Elks club, past secretary of the Ki wanis club, and is at present chairman of the aviation com mittee of the Klamath county chamber 'of commerce. He also has been active In civilian de fense. Heavy-Eating Workers Cause Meat Shortage PORTLAND, July 25 (?) Portland is feeling a meat short age because of an influx of heavy-eating' workmen,' packers said yesterday. The workmen, drawing good wages from war industries, are demanding choice cuts of beef and pork, the packers said. The Portland stockyards said supply was above average, re ceipts of both hogs and cattle being increased above last year's.
