V.ar .- A Master Plan A MASTER plan for community progress should result A from an effort inaugurated tins week by Mitchell Tillotson, president of the Klamath county chamber of 'Twhatf has been done by the Klamath chamber high way committee serves as an excellent example of the ' program Mr. Tillotson now proposes for all committees of the civic organization, whose activities are of vital interest to everyone in the Klamath country. r The highway committee in 1932 adopted a master program. It set up in written form a schedule of the high way work it believed was needed for the proper develop ment of this area. It rated these various projects in the order of their importance. When the No. 1 project was completed, it was marked off and another project pro moted to this place of first importance. Other changes in the schedule were made in accordance with changing con ditions. This master program was handed down from year to year, from one highway committee to another, and it provided continuity in the whole chamber .of com merce effort that brought effective results through the years. Mr. Tillotson has proposed that all chamber commit tees develop into written form a similar program. This will be done this year, and at the end . of the term of the iftppa -the nrooTams will be handed on to their suc cessors, for continuous effort and revision to meet chang ing conditions. This will form a basis of operation of the chamber of commerce through the years and will pre serve the value of the experience of succeeding com mittees. , r If there are those who may wonder what the work of chamber of commerce committees may mean to tnem, let them scan this- list of the major chamber committees: wads and highways, legislative, taxation, education, rates and transportation, industrial development, community advertising and civic affairs, lumber and timber, land utilization, membership and forums, agriculture. There is not a resident of the Klamath basin whose welfare could not conceivably be affected in some way through at least one of these activities. Kates, lor instance, aiieci me prices paid for commodities used by every person in the community'. J ' -. ; - v It is, ' therefore, a matter of vital community interest that a master plan of this nature is to be prepared as a pattern for future development. Publicity, we presume, will be given to these plans as they are worked out and general public support of each soundly devised program will help to make it successful for the benefit of all of us. ; Fort Klamath Mrs. R.

RAINBOW 1 RIGHT NOWI Brian Donlevy n "The Great McGinty" The Rough Riden ueiow L,t, Trie Border" world News 1 News Behi By PaulMalion WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 Last Sunday a troupe of government officials went on the radio. In an arranged pro- gram, to tell the country Mr. Roosevelt's war production pro gram was not meeting his schedules. Up to that time, the offici al news (except a few warning hints) was that Paul Mallon everything was fine, in fact running ahead of icliedule. From that broadcast, and the comment since then, it is appar ent everyone agrees the single cause of the trouble is the short age of raw materials (copper, steel, chromium, tungsten) caus ing war industries to shut or slow down. Now, again, accusing fingers are beginning to be pointed round at government officials and industries supposed to be responsible. It appears we are in for another of those periods of trying to piece blame for our disappointments. The usual course followed in such periods is for everyone in volved to blame everyone else. A more or less defenseless goat without an alibi usually lias been fired or passed quietly up into a better job. The war pro duction board, or whatever its initials happen to be at the mo ment, is generally reorganized. This time, the goat searchers seem to be after Donald Nelson, a search not requiring much effort or ingenuity, as Nelson is the top man. NELSON KNEW FIRST Latest WPB talk suggests he has slid out to some place in New York to revise his whole WPB .setup for another try. He seems to be at least one jump ahead of the critics, a head start he gained because he knew of the deficiency first. It must be evident to every one that what we need this time is not a goat, or a debate, but the raw materials. Indul gence in the usual period of recrimination and reorganization will only delay those materials. Let no one say they cannot be obtained. Hitler has been getting along well enough, too well, without any. The reasons why this situation has arisen are varied, but they will show the way to cures. Balance between require ments of materials and the production program has not been maintained by the govern ment. Britain, Russia and China have been given raw materials upon demand under lend-lease without sufficient regard for what we need to keep. That sit uation is still going on today Price ceilings were fixed on metals to hold the war cost down, but insufficient consider ation was given to the effect this would have on marginal mines. Mines running on a small profit margin could not operate and pay high taxes, became un dermanned, and war factories depending on these mines had to shut down. The situation in copper was presented to Nelson by Army Supply Service Chief General TODAY and There's a laugh for every tine and a thrill for every scene, and they all come with machine-gun I aArElWMAW- BR0DER1CK CRAWFORD Extra! . .11 CI f I All r j7SVArXir "!'"

The army and navy were not able to estimate accurately in advance the raw materials need ed for their program. WPB, on the other hand, failed to dis tribute what materials we had on the basis of specific war needs, but handed -out priority orders to war producers for more materials than we had. Some private business buyers, who got their priority orders early, have stocked up too much on the raw material they need, thereby depriving perhaps a more vital war industry with priorities from obtaining what It requires. LATE START The enforcement steps, to see that priority regulations were followed by business, were not strict. Remember it was not even a violation of law for any one to accumulate too much raw material until last March 27, four months after the war started. As in gasoline, first, and now in fuel oil, government policy not' only has alldwed hoarding but has inspired it. You will re call official threats were made that there would be gas short ages long, before rationing went into effect, so naturally every one then kept his tank full around in this part of the coun try, stocking up as much as pos sible. Something like that has happened in industry. On top of all this, you had the army and navy trying to stock up Jn the particular lines in which they were interested; civilian industries trying com petitively to build up secret in ventories, so they could keep in business as long as possible; a divergence of opinion within WPB as to what projects were worthy, and between WPB and Ickes, the army and navy; de lays caused by internal WPB politics, such as the confusion and delay on synthetic rubber production and inadequate stock piles of all raw materials in the first place. Looking back on it, you may wonder why no one realized this jam was inevitable. Well, nearly everyone appreciated at least some phases of the situ TOMORROW ROBINSON zzrnm mam "INFORMATION, PLEASE" "PORKY'S MIDNITE MATINEE" "VIGILANCE" - LATEST NEWS ation. Many warnings were pub lished. For months some WPB men have been hitting all around the trouble almost con tinuously, but no one had what it took responsibility, percep tion, initiative to cut through and avoid it. That must be done now. The only disastrous blunder would be to allow time now to be taken out for argument as to whether Nelson was short-sight ed or who was, or for the whole sale firings of the responsible parties. You can soo from the above listed causes that practically everyone connected with the matter is to blame in one way or another. The raw materials must be obtained, even if the White House has to sacrifice that tall elegant iron fence surrounding it. Oregon's in for Heavy Diet of Canned Foods PORTLAND, Aug. 14 (P) Oregonians will have a heavy diet of canned fruits and veg etables this winter, the Oregon OPA office reported Thursday. Applications for canning sugar in June alone totaled 7,138,755 pounds enough for 26 quarts of fruit for each Oregon resident on the basis of four quarts of fruit to one pound of sugar.
