The Klamath coach said that on Monday he telephoned Sec retary Tom Pigott of the state high school activities associa tion and asked if the association wanted to arrange a play-off game, but Pigott answered the matter was out of the board's hands and no game is contem plated. A meeting of the state board will be held in Portland Saturday and Ramsey plans to attend. Lee Jacobs, president of the Klamath Quarterback club, said that Klamath naturally consid ers Marshfield in the same cate gory with other .teams which were tied or defeated in the season and that he does not con sider Marshfield a legitimate contender for the state title in any way. Klamath is undefeated in Oregon play. It lost only one game this season, to the Van couver, Wash, Trappers.

To guide local draft boards in determining which persons should have occupational defer ment, the war manpower com mission announced last night the preparation of a master list of essential war jobs containing about 3000 of the nation's esti mated 27,000 occupations. Not Blanket Deferment The list expands the types of jobs specified in earlier classifi cations by defining more precise ly the general job titles precious ly cited as vital to war produc tion. Hershey said his new instruc tions did not constitute a blanket deferment of aircraft and ship building employes, and added that th would "continue to be called for military service as they are needed and as they can be replaced in essential jobs." The intention, he declared, was to prevent a drain on the two war industries which might cripple some plants if not con trolled. He reported that local boards had been directed to call such workers "gradually, if they can be replaced, so as not to in terfere with war production."

As for butter, most retailers pbtained about one-fourth their normal amount, and in turn al lowed their customers one-quarter-pound cubes each. More restaurants in this area closed for lack of meat. Others put up "closed" signs but contin ued serving regular customers, providing meat substitutes such as spaghetti, cheese dishes and the like. Frank Marsh, deputy regional administrator of the office of price administration, said the meat shortage was only tempor ary. Packers, he said, would be permitted to furnish more meat after new ration books are issued shortly after the first of the year.

On the Tunisian front, a broadcast from American-occupied Morocco said American, British and French troops were now attacking axis positions in the northern region of the col ony presumably around the big naval base at Bizerte and declared the fighting was grow ing "more and more violent" Transports Shot Down Allied headquarters said tersely that the investment of axis fortifications was proceed ing "according to plan." Dispatches reporting that six more enemy troop transports were shot down over the Med iterranean en route from Italian Sicily to Tunisia indicated that Adolf Hitler was desperately seeking to reinforce his garrisons at Bizerte and Tunis, th cap ital. An allied headquarters Spokes man said Hitler was massing great fleets of planes in the Mediterranean area and de clared: 'The fight is going to be tough and longer than might be expected." While definite information was lacking, observers said Hitler had probably doubled or even tripled the original axis gar rison of 10,000 troops in the North African colony, which lies between American-held Algeria and Italian Tripolitama.

Previously, the farthest point of advance had been described as Point Cruz, which is about a mile west of the mouth of the Matanikau. Japanese troop activity was described as occurring in the Mambulo and Upper Matanikau river regions, approximately three miles from the coast. No Reinforcements Secretary of the Navy Knox said today it was very unlike ly" that the Japanese were get ting reinforcements to their troops opposing American forces on Guadalcanal in the Solomon islands. "It is possible but not prob able," Knox told a press con ference, "because rigid United States patrols are working day and night. " The Japanese have not been reported landing more troops on the embattled island since their great and unsuccessful drive almost two weeks ago to land huge forces and overwhelm the American defenders of the air field there. 250,000 Polish Jews Massacred, Says Government (Continued From Page One) ghetto lies in the fact that for September, 1942, 130,000 ration cards were printed; for October, the number issued was only 40,000." The statement said that those marked for extermination at any time are "driven to a square where old people and cripples are segregated, taken to a cem etery and shot." "The remainder," it said, "are loaded into freight cars, 150 to a car intended for 40. The floor of the car is sprinkled with a thick layer of lime or chlorine sprinkled water. The doors of the cars are sealed. Sometimes the train starts Immediately. Other times it waits on a siding for days.

And "praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" this is the only item wc found on our rounds that hadn't climbed up on a pair of stilts and walked roughshod over the family bud get. Let's get on with the menu! Celery has jumped, and how! Last year it was around 10 cents per stalk, or head, or whatever they call it at the grc.cn grocers. This year it is between 19 and 35 cents a head, an increase of some 90 per cent. Cauliflower showed the biggest jump of fresh stuff, 100 per cent over 1941. You'll pay around 30 cents a head now, last year it was 8 to 15. Take it back, yams show the biggest jump 101 per cent. This year they're around 3 pounds for 29, last year 3 pounds for 14. Hop we're not spoiling your dinner. Artichokes were of poor qual ity, those we saw, anyway. Gone are the days when you picked out six plump 'chokes for a quarter. You're paying between two pounds for 25 and 29 cents, all depends. Some local stuff clings to the fresh market. Squash for those who like to struggle with their own squash pies. Onions and potatoes are from the Klamath basin. Cucumbers, if you are plan ning on a fresh salad, arc on their last legs. From now on it's hothouse. Same goes for to matoes. Pretty to look at but not too tasty. There's plenty of grapefruit for a fresh fruit cock tall, and apples are in abund ance, Spitzenberg, Winter Ba nana and Ortley types for pies, and if you are of the fruit and cheese school for dessert, the Ortleys are nice with cheese, providing you get In early and find soma cheese. The dairy market is on the skids as far as quantity is con cerned. One large .grocery out fit here turned down egg orders for two days for the simple rea sons they never had NO eggs. Cornering the. cheese man while he was making a delivery, we found out that cheese is go ing to be rationed right quick. Found some good yellow aged Wisconsin at 45 cents, right good too, and one imported cheese, Brazilian blue, which has a re markable similarity .tb the old Roquefort we dream about now. Sells for 65 cents, the Brazilian blue does. There are some spreading cheese, some good Tillamook and Klamath, but as a wnole there isn't a wide choice Frozen stuff is abundant with the exception of brusscl sprouts ana green limas. Grapes are just barely get ting Dy. A few of the Cornish ons, a dark grape, and some Em perors which, they say, will be available up through Christmas as they keep fair v well. Local butter sells for 58 cents and it s a must so why worry. Nuts are plentiful this vear. thank, you. Last year you by passed the almonds even if you couia get them. They sold for $1.25 shelled. This year they're back to a fairly decent price, 79 cents shelled, '39 cents un- sneued. A goodly, stock of candied fruits for fruit cakes are avail. able but grocers say the com mercially prepared cakes are selling very well. There's red, green ana yellow nlneannli. plenty of candied cherries which are 10 cents a pound higher man iasi year, and citron, orange and lemon peel are on hand. No currants but some raisins are found, the dried fruits frozen two months ago by the eovern ment showing up when you take up your market basket to shop.

Mr. Boivin was a native of Bordeaux, France, and upon coming to this country settled In Moscow, Ida. A full obituary will appear later. A directed verdict In favor of the defendant ended the perjury case of the state versus Milford O. Flynn in Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg's 'court. Ruling in the case came on the question as to whether tho! state could prove or would have J to prove that Flynn was under oath when he allegedly made false statements on " which the perjury charge was based. The state had introduced evi dence designed to prove tho fal sity of statements Flynn made in a divorce caso in the circuit court hero. But the defense asked for a directed verdict, claiming the state had not prop erly proved that Flynn was un der oath when he made the al leged statements. Judge Vandcnbcrg ruled thntj me awuu is rcquirea 10 matte such proof with two witnesses or one witness with corrobora tive evidence. The judge recalled that he himself had administered the oath to Flynn. But Circuit Clerk Al Brandt said his notes did not show a record of the oath. The state contended that all' that was necessary was to prove ' by more than one witness, the' falsity of statements made by Flynn and shown in the tran script record of the divorce case. 1 Judge Vandcnberg rejected, this contention and dismissed: Ihe case. J. C, O'Neill rcpre- sented rlynn. Flynn was accused of perjury on the grounds that he had testi fied that his wife, Evelyn, had deserted him in June, 1939, whereas a considerable time later than that they were living together at a local address.

Rights Forfeited "Counsel has urged mercy for the prisoners before the bar, particularly in the cases of Ihe three women as mothers." Judge Campbell said as he soberly read his 1200-word statement. "There are no priorities on mercy. Like Justice, It is the common hope of all." "In weighing tho mercy pleas for the women hero involved it also has been incumbent on tho court to consider the millions of suffering mothers of the boys who are fighting their wars for us. And the mothers who must toil in aluminum and powder plants or on production lines in constant danger from saboteurs mothers who had equal rights to consideration with the prison ers here. 'These defendants by their acts have thus forfeited any right to consideration as moth ers." Appeal Planntd The convicted men and women listened with their eyes glued on the judge's face. They heard the men sentenced to be electrocuted January' 22. They heard the women condemned to spend most of the rest of their lives In prison. And then they leaned back In their chairs.

There Isn't enough milk and butter because there aren't enough men to milk the cows (as a result dairy herds or Do ing sold for meat.) Turkeys are scarce in the markets because there aren't enough men on tho farms to kill and dress them, Enlistment of essential war workers Is to be checked, in dicating thai even the armed services tiro feeling tho shortage, VJEANWH1LE Senator Byrd says in a speech In congress that on September 1 civilian employees of the federal govern ment totaled 2.005,300 and esti mates that by January 1 the total will reach 3,000.000. To this, h says, must be added two and a half million civilian employees of local and state governments, bringing the total to about five and a half millions about EQUALING THE ARMY IN SIZE. The conclusion Is obvious: If there were fewer men in POLITICAL Jobs, ther would be more manpower for MORE ESSENTIAL jobs. Algiers Alarm, Damage Reported LONDON.
