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. .

out nearly 14" hours of entertain
ment through the courteous help
of many local people. There will

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.
