The Klamath coach said that
on Monday he telephoned Sec
retary Tom Pigott of the state

wanted to arrange a play-off

matter was out of the board's

plated. A meeting of the state

Saturday and Ramsey plans to
attend.
Lee Jacobs, president of the

that Klamath naturally consid

were tied or defeated in the

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

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

the turkey a good cup full o(

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

for two days for the simple rea
sons they never had NO eggs.

Henry Boivin, pioneer resident
of Klamath Falls, died at 3 p. m.
Monday at his home In Son
Jose, Calif., according to word
received here. Funeral arrange
ments will be announced later.
Mr. Boivin retired from busi
ness in this city in 1919, and
since that time has made his
home in San Jose. He is survived
by his widow, Mrs. Nellie Boi
vin, a son and daughter, Harry
Boivin and Mrs. Elmer Hosking,
both of this city. Mr. Boivin
was a native of Bordeaux,
France, and upon coming to this
country settled In Moscow, Ida.

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

'These defendants by their
