Lake, liodoe and Blaktyou Coaatlea 1brt Mootha I, i i i i W-M Ml Montoe One Year - . s.oa A Plan Develops THE American offensive in Africa has transformed the I attitude of Americans toward the war. It has ended a feelinjr of uncertainty as to where we were going in the struggle with Hitler. It gives the people a conviction that the Allies do have a plan, and a good plan. Coupled with the British defeat of Rommel in Egypt and the rug ged resistance of the Russians on the eastern front, it is the best news of the war. The wise will realize that the project ahead is not a pushover. But it must not fail. If the Axis can be put out of Africa, the way will be open for more effective help for the Russians and for a direct attack on Axis strongholds on the European eon-tinent. Herr Hitler and his satellites are reportedly in ses sion today to decide what they can do to parry the new blow. That its enormous potentialities are realized by Hitler, who is plenty smart, was disclosed by his promise in a speech this week that he would not flee Germany if the war gets difficult What suggestion was there that he would flee Ger many, requiring reassurance on this point? Hitler has said, in effect, that there is a chance the war WILL get difficult, and that at least some of the German people distrust his willingness to stay and take it with them. Learn About Rationing POSTPONEMENT of registration for mileage rationing from this week to next week gives motorists more time to find out what this program is all about.- In spite of reams of publicity on the subject, there still is con fusion and plain ignorance concerning it. It is a patriotic duty to learn the facts on this matter, and to act promptly and efficiently as individuals in connection with the rationing program. The registration is now set at November 18 to 20. Those are the days on which people will go to school houses to obtain ration books. Prior to that time, motoiv lsts with passenger cars should do these two things: 1. Obtain an application form for "A" ration book from garages, service station or rationing board offices. 2. Turn in at the Railway Express office here all pas- genger car tires in excess of five for each car and one lor each trailer wheel. This procedure is simple enough, but it should not be delayed until the last minute. After obtaining the appli cation, the passenger car operator should fill it out with all the required information, and he will then be ready to apply at his schoolhouse registration place November 18 to ZO. . First application will be made only for an A basic ration book. If the applicant thinks he should have more gasoline than allowed by the A book, he may obtain an application for additional gas rations at the time of reg istration. He will fill this out and mail it to the ration ing board. In the vast majority of cases, the thing to do is to try to get along on the basic A ration. That will be acting m tne spirit oi tne wnoie ettort. it a motorist then finds that essential driving requires more gasoline than tier- mitted under the A ration, he may then apply for a more liberal supply. All of this information, and more, will be published from time to time before the registration. period. This program requires that all automobile owners inform them. selves and cooperate, benefiting themselves and their country.

WHY IS CERTAIN NEWS WITHHELD Some of the news is not published In newspapers nor broad cast by radio stations in these critical times. The reason is that editors and broadcasters are cooperating with the Government to deprive the enemy of certain information which would help him to kill Americans. A Code of Wartime Practices for press and radio was drawn up by the Office of Censorship last January and has undergone revision irora lime to time in the light or experience. The pre amble of the Code puta It this way: It la essenUal that certain basic facta be understood. The first of these facts is that the outcome of the war is a matter of vital personal concern to the future of every American Citizen. The second is that the security of our armed forces and even of our homes and our liberties will be weakened in greater or less de gree by every disclosure of information which will help the enemy. The Code suggests that editor and- broadcasters act as their own censors, applying the dictate of common sense. It Is recom mended that they ask themselves "I this Information I would like to have if I were the enemy? and then act accordingly. The Code list certain classes of Information which would be of obvious value in enemy hands. It does not deal with editorial opinion, or criticism ot the Government, but is confined solely to the distribution of information.

With Klamath's Pelicans and Bend's Lava Bears sched uled to play a football game on Modoc Field Wednesday, it may be noted that not much has been said recently in the argument about the relative merits of Klamath and Deschutes potatoes. The reason, of course, is that there is nothing to argue about, the superiority of the Klamath spud having been long recognized. We'll leave it to the Pelicans to prove the superiority of Klamath football on Modoc field Wednesday. Among the members of the 1943 house of represen tatives in the state legislature, Klamath county's Henry Semon is tied with V. B. Staples of Ontario for longest consecutive service. Both men served in the 1933, 1935, 1937, 1939 and 1941 legislatures. Harvey Wells of Port i?n?r hjJ.8.served sevel terms, but not consecutively, and H. H. Clundgren, Molalla, has served five terms, not con secutively. Harry D. Boivin of Klamath county served in four sessions, consecutively.

Springs on the mountain are abundant and remarkable in size, especially on the southeast, aiong a fault on the mountain side, which probably affords an outlet for much of the water that percolates through tha rim.

Pope, on his election as county commissioner, and I wish him a successful term of office! two of them If he likes the Job, It turns out that I was not his "chief opponent" but in view of the fact that Mr. Benner Is "tickled pink," I wish to say that I am also "tickled red, white and blue, in that I had the oppor tunity to assert my own Individ ual Independence, of cheque, fac tion or party." Also I wish to thank all those who supported me In this elec tion, and for our demonstration that these "star chamber, five fellows endorsements" are not what they used to be. Steady now, don t rock the boat, get in and dig, and let us win this war, as fast as possible. Yours respectfully, Wm. F. B. CHASE. E TULELAKE Tulelake grade school students are proud of the treasury flag that la being dis played since the school went over the top to win the trophy by registering 90 per cent of the students and faculty as regular stamp and war bond buyers. This record is in addition to the bank program in which students de posit their savings in the local bank. The boys and girls are still hard at work on the scrap drive content, and if sledding is a bit rough with older students at the high nchool having a slight edge in transportation for their com tributions, each day finds the youngsters' pile growing. The person always blazing un in anger seldom sets the old world aflrel WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 new try at voluntary man agement of the manpower prob leminstead of compulsion has been In the making among In terested officials the past several days. The election result Is pushing It along. Compulsion is not likely to be tried until next year, and only If the new meth od falls. Labor Is supposed to have a promise to that effect In its advance stages, the new program would call for a single- headed govern ment control of both army draft- Paul Mallort ing and indus trial employment, .under a new commission or manpoweror Paul McNutt. One agency would decide who is to go into the army and who is to work. Enlistments would be stopped. The control would function on a system which has been tried in the aircraft industry. Work- era would be placed in ten classi fications, and shifted as the nee'ds of Industry are made known. A vast training system to bring new workers Into the field (par ticularly women) would be spon sored. A worker would have to get a certificate from the em ployment service in order to take a job. Tha reasons for trying this approach are set forth officially in the survey of current business of the commerce department for October. e LOCALIZED PROBLEM Th government figures the army and industry will need 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 more men before the end of next year. The military may need 5,000. 000 more to reach peak strength, War manufacturing will require a maximum of 4,000,000 by De cember, 1943. About 4,000,000 women are considered available, if trained Declining activity in military building may release 2,900,000 men. ; Unemployed men now number over 2,000,000 and about half of these will be available the other half being unemploy able. There are also 12,000,000 farm women without small chil dren, and 2,000,000 students over 18, could be used for farm work The survey concludes that manpower Is a localized difficul ty in war industry centers and on farms, and that the main problem is to get these above- mentioned available workers to those points and provide proper housing. ROMMEL SMELLED TROUBLE The turn of the tide of the war in Africa and Europe these past lew weens is piain on us face, but the inner portent of the developments goes further and brings the end within sight for tha first time. The British-American drive to roll up Rommel was no surprise, Tha crafty nazi general well knew of tha accumulation . of British superiority in planes, tanks and men. His scouts had observed It for weeks. That was why he was In Ber lin just before the attack broke. He was trying to get reinforce ments, and these were not to be obtained. Since the end of June, Rommel has known he would be faced with heavy superiority in the air. He has been able to get along without plane superiority before, by adroit use of his tanks, but this time his oil supplies were low. His gasoline dumps were thoroughly destroyed by our planes In the opening phases of the attack- Thus he had tha time to make himself ready, on the shortest easiest defense line available in that desert, but he could not get the wherewithal. The only surprise was the spot at which tha British hit him. His. September attack had been made just north of the Quattara depression. That was regarded ' F IllilllillliWO) v Mass p n i as the battle center. There his major forces were massed. British feints and concentre lions behind their own lines kept him there until they hit him at the opposite end of tha battle- front, along the coastal road, as well as In the center, NAZI STRENGTH WANES At those points they found Rommel had Infiltrated his Ger man regiments into Italian di visions, mixing them about equal. Apparently he did not Intend that the Italians again be allowed to fight alone. But it was superiority of power that did the job, a superiority which the pleading Rommel in Berlin could not match. No better confirmation of wan Ing German strength is needed. If Hitler can be wasted on the Russian front this winter as much as last, and if this display of growing weakness stimulates further expansion of the second front In the Mediterranean or elsewhere the end of the war in Europe becomes a realistic pos sibility for the months to come, Many official authorities, in their speeches and statements, have intimated Hitlers break down might be elected before the war In the Pacific could be closed. If Hitler can be crushed first, the Joint naval might of Britain and the United States can be concentrated to drive Japan from the seas and open the way for us to go straight into Toklo to clean them out. This looks like the beginning of the end. East Lake Resort n Deschutes Sold to Portlandor W. C. Tyson has sold the East lake resort In Deschutes county to George M. McCormack, Port land. The lake is one of the fav orite fishing spots of sportsmen of the Klamath country. McCormack, according to a re port from Bend, plans extensive developments, including a new lodge, when building restrictions are lifted. He also purchased the East lake boats. The five tire limit means that more autos will last until they're paid for. You don't have to investigate before you invest when you're buying war bonds. IN MEMORY Or KATHLEEN HILL (Written by her grandmother, Mrs. Frank L. Stroberg of Keno.) God came and took you, Kstli leen, To that home In heaven above And we know that you are happy there Where all is peace and love. Your clothes will never grow thread-bare Your shoes never grow old And throughout the endless ages You'll walk the streets of gold. We miss the touch of your hand The sound of your voice so sweet But Ohl What joy In knowing You're sitting at Jesus' feet. So hard for us Is your going But you're singing up there we know. Where you will never know Heartaches, sickness, pain or woe. You are a shining light In hea ven With outstretched hands beck oning come Tha loving smiles you had here for us. Are waiting to welcome us home. America, our own country. Is tha world's last citadel of lib erty.

Armistice Day By EARL WHITLOCK O There Is no need, on this holi day which celebrates the end ing of the last great war, to wax sarcastic , over the failure of that conflict to "end all wars." ThBt wos the ideal for which we hop ed. B u t f e w hopes material ize immediately and that was the first time In history thot man had even pre sumed to entertain such a hope. That other war was a stepping stone on the way to the lasting ' peace on which our hearts ore now set with even greater firm ness. And some day God grant It may not be too distant weQ shall have another Armlstlcew Day to celabroto. On that day, the ambition of world-dominion which Is Japan's credo will be crushed in final and overwhelm ing defeat, And the need for Greedy Hitler to conquer mora and ever more lands to keep his military machine function, ing will be ended, because there will be no nasi military mn. chlno. It will be destroyed. Then may wo bo given the wisdom to enforce peace terms which will guarantee mankind against a recurrence of the lust for conquest In any nation un der the sun. Next rvlonday Mr. Whltlock of the Earl Whltlock Funorol Home will comment on "No Substitute."
