Delivered by Carrier ta City Harvest Progress AT the end of another week we should know -wnetner the harvest problem in the Klamath country has been Hcked "for sure." Right now, the good news is that an estimated 75 per cent of the crop is in. A continuation of the present harvest program and good weather should crown the whole effort with success. Many factors have contributed to the favorable con dition that now exists, but it is certain that the situation would not be where it is today were it not for the fact that the public became concerned over the problem. Getting in the crop became an issue of first importance in this area. This brought about a general community response that has been most helpful. Many people, who would not otherwise have done so, worked at least a few days in the potato fields. School children were released to push the harvest along. Farmers have paid excellent wages to help attract labor and to make it worth while for city folks to lend a hand. Fanners have engaged in exchanges of labor and equipment in a more general way this year than is usual. They have been tolerant of green hands. A helpful factor has been the weather. With the exception of one or two days, ideal harvest conditions have existed. And so, it is now possible to report optimistically on the whole problem. What lies in store for next year is another matter. Right now, there are indications that fanners will re duce their 1943 plantings of potatoes and some other crops because of the serious labor problems they foresee. Federal and state authorities, whose policjes now do much to control labor conditions, cannot ignore the tre mendous importance of the farm labor problem. Some definite policies must be formed and action taken before the 1943 farming season opens. WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 Tht houis passed the poll tax repealer and the colored political leaders have told their following that they have done something for them. For the past twenty years of my Washington experience, and no doubt longer, a federal antl lynching bill has been intro duced every congress In the sen ate. It never passes. No one ever expects It to pass. The republicans used to pro pose it In the pre-new deal days, whereupon the southern demo crats would filibuster against It Now a northern democrat cus tomarily presents it and the southern democrats filibuster against it Afterward, both sides return to their respective communities, gather in popular acclaim and votes for re-election. But the negro, in whose In terest the bl-ennlal antl-lynching bill is supposed to be proposed, gets nothing. However, his negro leaders, who always foster the legislation, demonstrate that they have acted vigorously in his behalf, so everyone seems satis fied. This situation on the antl lynching bill is characteristic of the way political handling of the negro problem has delayed his natural advancement for the past 40 years or more. There Is a negro problem. It is not a legal problem, such as the antl-lynching bill assumes, or such as the current clamor for repeal of poll taxes assumes, The negro is legally free.

SINKING OF 7 CARGO SHIPS Tve been saving up for a coat like that for years and now I've not just enough to buy it but with the war and everything 1 wonder if the neighbors would talk." These Auto Graveyards WHAT about those old cars in the auto graveyards? We've asked that question, and so have many others, In connection with the drive to bring in all of America's crap metal. This Week, it was announced that -a war production board award of merit has been presented to two Klamath auto wrecking firms, which is evidence mm sometnmg its being done about the autos in the wrecking lots. What most of us have not realized is that an auto graveyard is quite literally a manufacturing business, When a lot is full of wrecks, it means that vitally im portant scrap is being produced. By WPB order, for every pound of worn-out car that goes into an auto grave yard, one pouna oi scrap metal must start toward war mill. In graveyards here and the eonntrv nvpr. unn ia being removed from the wrecked cars, useable parts are savea, and tne remainder sent to the steel mills. In places the size of Klamath Falls, however, it is not possible to move out the body metal as rapidly as in larger centers, for the reason that this material must be pressed and baled for economical handling and ship ments. A WPB official tells us that it is hoped to have porwDie Daiers nere oeiore the end of the year. Mean whuea great many bodies are seen lying around, and this adds to the misconception that wrecking yards are not salvaging the metal. .

Orchids to Gilchrist "NRCHIDS to Gilchrist, the "wonder town" of northern w Klamath county, for the fine showing made in the war savings program. At Gilchrist Saturday, Verne Owens, Klamath 10 per cent drive leader, presented a flag to the Gilchrist Tim ber company, management and employes, for going over ;nV0 Per cent of payroll war savings participation. In fact, Gilchrist employes are buying bonds at the rate of bdoui ii yi, per cent or payroll, and the 10 per cent flag flies today from the white flagpole there. It was received by Anne Estes, first woman employe, i Mri 2wens a,so presented- a minute flag to the vil lage of Gilchrist, for payroll participation, at the same ceremonies. The people at Gilchrist Frank Gilchrist, his employes, and the folks in the village are proud of their remark able town, as they may well be. And today, with those new flags flying as symbols of a fine patriotic achieve ment, they have more reason than ever to be proud.

Friday's victory over their traditional rivals across the hill was complete. The job was most thorough as well as sportsmanlike. That did not, of course, finish the season.

His is certainly not a political problem, because politicians of all hues are fawning over his problem continuously, while doing noth ing much about it. Legally and politically, a negro is entitled to any job, to any position in life. He has not attained the position to which he is legally and politically entitled. because he has not satisfied the social and economic require ment. As all politicians should know, you cannot make a man socially or economically equal by law, be he white, black or pink. That is a position which he can only reach himself by his personal at tainments. You cannot make a white per son sit with a negro or vice versa anywhere, unless both want to, and both will not want to until they have reached the same social and economic level. The negro is only a few gen erations out of the African jungle and he is living In a country which has a basis of civilization stretching back six thousand years or more into an entirely different world. In the natural course of events, if the negro fe allowed the advantages of education to improve himself, there will soon be a negro on the supreme court of the United States and in all positions of prominence and power. White Cofar Army Invades Yakima Apple Orchards to Help in Saving Huge Crop WENATCHEE, Oct. 19 (P). An emergency army of white collar workers, women and stu dents marched into the vast ap ple orchards of the Wenatchee and Yakima districts last week end to aid in saving a crop val ued high up in the millions. Excused from two days of school, an estimated 1400 stu dents crossed the state from the University of Washington to Join the harvest rush. Several hun dred from Washington State col lege also joined the "save the crop" migration, with a spirited Joe college challenge to outplck weir rivals. Coeds pitched in with the men. Four of the slrls who left comfortable sorority beds in Se attle spent the first night on a hay mow In a barn while Old Dobbin wheezed in a stall near by. Wenatchee business houses are closed three days a week to enable the town's populace to go to the orchards. Many schools have been closed for three weeks and will continue closed for two more. Yakima's high school wilt close next week to turn 1300 more pickers into the trees. But still the orchardists cry for more. The harvest emergen cy extends southward into Ore gon, where growers of the Hood River district also are recruiting office workers and school chil dren. A good slice of the crop Is slated for the armed forces, where an apple a day would be a tasty treat. About 8000 car loads, half the crop) remained on the trees in the Wenatchee district. Half that amount was reported still on the trees in the Yakima area. The acute labor shortage ts another of the headaches at tributable to the war. While many potential home talent pick ers were drained awajr for mili tary service, the usual flood of transient workers was kept awav by war industry Jobs, thin tires and the fear of Kasollna ration. ing.

Company C, State Guard, Membership To Be Upped EARN FOR HIMSELF But, you cannot legislate him into that position, Politicians cannot fawn or pamper him into it, free housing and WPA will not put him there. He can only earn it for himself. The negro problem then is to raise the average negro clvillza tion of the country to the white average, not by fiat or other artificial means, but by provide ing me negro with the onoortun. ities to advance himself into it. Amazing strides have been made. No doubt he would be further along if the politicians had ap preciated tne lesson of the re construction days, namely that any attempt to gain this soal bv fiat or legal impositions merely aeiays nis progress, casts him back to try to conquer again the Ditterness of resistance. STOPPED Lynching, for instance, has practically been stopned with out an antl-lynching bill by the natural course ' of increasing negro intelligence and corres ponding white fairness expressed in courts of justice. Jim Crow Ism will end when the negro sec tion of the car is as clean and inviting as the white section. The negro problem can be said to have been solved com pletely, when a negro no loncer feels he must demand equality because he has attained it for himself. If you were a white person In China or Africa, you would normally seek out your own Kino. If left to his own resources, the negro no doubt would do this now, but he is subject to con stant political agitation, fostered in communist or revolutionary aspirations, that he should seek a position which he can only get by mutual acceptance. Instead of repealing poll taxes, give the negroes more schools and better teaaners, so their Company C of the 19th bat talion, Oregon State guard, is now authorized by Brig.-Gen. Ralph P. Cowgrlll, commander for the state of Oregon, to in crease its membership to 217 men. The local company' is uu der the command of Captain uonald P. VanFleet.

The state guard Is under the direct command of an army offi cer and in event of an emer gency would serve as a home guard unit for the state. The training is supervised by compe tent military men and follows the U.S. army manual In teach ing tactical movements and drill. Captain VanFleet stated fur ther that this authorization will give many persons who qualify an opportunity to train as offi cers, as such a group will require six officers, 25 sergeants and 19 corporals.
