' 8th Street-Main to Pine 9tA E AMERICANS have made up our minds, to produce trie. things needed to win this war not only planes, tanks, guns and ships, but more food; more - wool, ?more ; lurribe'r, more of all the materials, r raw and' finished, that go into a successful war effort. We in the Klamath country have joined in this mighty enterprise. Our mills are cutting more timber than ever before. Our fertile crop land and our far-flung ranges are contributing mightily to the nation's great food production program. Our part of two great railroad systems and our high way freight facilities are holding up their end of the huge wartime trans portation project, ft; And our boys, God bless them, are to be found wherever there is a unit of the American armed forces in the South seas, in Ireland, in the Aleutians, in training centers, in the air, on the land, on and under the water. These are the resources of this community, pledged to the service of our country in a great struggle. And along with them, we are pledging our money, through the purchase of war savings stamps and bonds. Klamath's record for war bond purchases has been outstanding in a state that has stood out in the nation. Klamath has met every challenge in the war sav ings field, and it will do it again in Victory Quota Days, set for Friday and' Saturday of this week. For Klamath is determined to help America build to a mighty war strength, against which no enemy in the world can hope to prevail. It will be a world's premiere for the glass mobile) "Victory House" when it is brought here to be the cen ter of a spirited two-day program Friday and Saturday in observance of Victory Quota days for Klamath county. Nearly 14 hours of programs, featuring local talent as well as Henry Murtagh, famed Hollywood organist, have been arranged by the Klamath Falls Kiwanis club for Victory Quota days, upon the request of the county war savings committee. This program will be presented from the Victory House platform on Eighth street between Main and Pine streets, which will be roped off for the two days, after noons and evenings. Thousands are expected to stop for parts of the program, and to witness the unique bond and stamp sales modeled along the lines of the famoug presentations at Pershing Square, Los Angeles. The programs begin at 12 noon each day, and will be run through the evenings until 9:30 or 10 o'clock, with three hours out for dinner. . Victory House, a chromium, steel and glass truck and trailer, was presented to the treasury de partment by Standard of Califor nia, and delivery was taken on the unique vehicle this week. It consists of a truck with platform equipped with a Hammond Solo Vox electric organ, and a glass victory house from which Stand ard. Chevronettes, two beauteous lassies, . will sell war savings stamps. . . Tried In L. A.

VThe war savings committee asked- the Kiwanis club to ar range the Victory ' House prc grajn, and the club has worked out nearly 14" hours of entertain ment through the courteous help of many local people. There will be many music and dance num bers, appropriate talks, and other special, events. - Ready Assistance .

The merchants' activities com mittee, headed by C. S. Elliot, 'TO Ray Conway, Oregon state war savings, administrator, , made a statement today welcoming the Victory House, prcscnUd by Standard of California 1 to the treasury department to help boost sales of war stamps and bonds.' "Oregon welcomes the mobile victory house," said Conway. "We are happy that its first showing Is to be in Oregon and at Klamath Falls. The people of that city, I am sure, will be pleased to know that Klamath Falls was chosen for the premier showing of this feature because it Is progressive, lively, and has one of the best county war sav ings organizations in the state," Conway was here last week for the conference with local war savings officials and representa tives of Standard of California regarding the local event.

When, each bond is purchased at the banks, savings and loan office, or postoffice, the pur chaser will be given a ticket for tho peep ride.

Many individuals, couples and quartets have generously agreed to participate with musical num bers with a vast variety of offer ings promised. The Klamath Falls Kiwanis club, which had charge of arranging the program, expresses its appreciation to all who so willingly consented to help out. Sooner or later Hitler thinks we should be ready to Call off the war as a bad job.
