PLEASE stay with us today through at least
the first half of this column, for It com
tains information of prime Importance to tha
reputation of our community for patriotic en
( , dcavor in behalf of our fight-
yew?y ' iiig men.
if f " This concerns surgical dress-
, I Ings bandages for dressing
-TS P the wounds of our fighting
men in comoai areas m on
parts of the world. r
These dressings are maae m
Klamath Falls, under direction
of the American Red Cross. So
many of them are needed the
government only today asked
for 180.000.000 more that
very town and hamlet In the United States
has been given a quota.
Klamath's quota is 63,000 a month.
NOT ONCE HAVE WE MADE THAT
QUOTA.
We go to shows, to sports events, to "culture"
clubs, or we sit at home by the fire, while In
field hospitals on distant fronts our men lie
wounded and dying. There Is a way the people
at home can help these wounded men, but
they are not coming through. '
' It Is rather surprising that there Is a deficit
In surgical dressings, for the value of them
and the need for them is so apparent. When
one makes one he knows what it is going to do.
; But there IS a deficit, and it has been diffi
cult to maintain the production pace already
set here.
Men Can Do It
SURGICAL dressing making Is not necessar
ily women's work. Men can do it.
A group of Klamath Falls men at one time
indicated a desire to do this valuable work.
Painters' caps were obtained and other ar
rangements were made, but the men did not
show up at the appointed time.
Men should work In groups or teams. Men
being the way they are, the sporting element
might be introduced, with a "pot" for the
worker who makes the most dressings in an
evening.
If there are men who are Interested, the Red
Cross would be pleased to hear from them, and
even more pleased to see them go to work.
Not Enough Machines ,
SOURCE of some' of the Indifference toward
this vital project, we are told, Is a belief
that the dressings should be made mechanically.
Here Is : the answer to . that: there are not
nearly enough machines to do the-needed Job.
It is only in recent years that dressings have
been made by machine, and when the war
broke out there were not many machines. Be
cause it was believed people would respond to
the appeal to make dressings by hand, the steel
that might have gone Into these machines was
used instead for armament.
The enlargement of hospitals, the quick spread,
of our forces to combat areas throughout the
world, and lease-lend, brought tremendous. In
creases In the need for dressings.
There Is absolute dependence on communities
like ours to come through on this Job. '
Civic Demonstration
V JAYOR JOHN HOUSTON made an excellent
presentation and a gallant fight for cham
ber of commerce endorsement of the cities'
highway revenue measure, but he couldn't win.
In this wide-open country, where through trans
portation and trading center development are
regarded of prime importance to future welfare,
the principle of keeping state highway revenues
for major and secondary highways is strongly
felt
People her know that a dry like Klamath
Falli wouldn't be much without the transporta
tion arteries that lead to it and through It.
That, primarily, has been the basis of chamber
of commerce road policy through many years,
and the policy was reiterated Wednesday. It is
to be hoped it bears fruit in further and
greater road and highway development for the
benefit of this community In future years.
The chamber stuck with the policy this time
against the pressure of a skillful debater who
had the zeal of conviction. Mayor Houston
had asked this writer, and probably other di
rectors of the chamber, to give him the benefit
cf an open mind until he could present his
argument. That promise we kept, and we con
fess his story was good. It was not enough to
win our support for the present measure, but
It did convince us that the city needs sympa
thetic interest and help from the chamber of
commerce and other civic-minded groups and in
dividuals in protecting local investments in im
proved streets. '
The alternate freezing and thawing that oc
curs here la constantly causing damage to city
streets, and a steady, adequately financed, main
tenance program is necessary. Whether it be
through some statewide program, or on a local
basis, a solution for this financial problem Is of
public Interest and deserves chamber attention.
The Wednesday meeting was a success as an
outstanding demonstration of serious discussion
nd honest exchange of opinion. Personalities
were left out of the picture. It was an ex
cellent way to settle an issue.
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 A wholly differ
ent policy on rationing Is being worked
up by Prentiss Brown.
The first modicum of common-sense changes
to correct the inefficiencies
and injustices of the Hender
son regime was evident all
down through the shoe order,
although no official pointed
them out.
In the first place, it was
Henderson's custom to ration
the retailers without applying
production control at the
same time. The regulations on
producers generally came
along three or more weeks
until then, the producers manu
much as they wanted or stewed
MALLON
Brown issued the regulations
later, and,
factured as
in confusion.
This time,
promptly.
The "hoarding period" which Henderson al
ways provided for consumers was likewise dis
pensed with. v-
It was Henderson policy to assume a dark
scowl and make threats publicly about ration
ing a certain commodity a month or so before
he acted. This invited the public to rush to
the stores. Merchants were not adverse to this
shopping rush as it enabled them to' get rid
of even the most inferior portions of their
stocks at premium prices.
Of course, Mr. Henderson always sweetly
and piously reminded the public that people
would have to tell how much of this hoard
they had accumulated when rationing was fin
ally ordered. But no one has. been able to
determine how many consumers told the truth,
and there was. a vague impression extant that
Henderson's policy tended toward promoting a
nation of liars-by-necessity.
This policy still prevails on canned goods, but
Mr. Brown dispensed with it on shoes.
Apparently, there were two leaks. Mayor
LaGuardia's advance hint is supposed to have
started a minor run on some New . York East
Side shops which were open Sunday. Droves
of government employees had the tip here and
purchased shoes Saturday. But otherwise, hoard
ing was not encouraged by advance official
notice.
Other moderations are coming, bit by bit.
Portions of the eastern seaboard are now
swimming in fuel oil, which fully corrects the
shortage here, now confined to anthracite coal
(those who converted are not suffering' much,
however, as inferior coal is available.) Dealers
now want consumers -to fill their tanks as
storage space is limited..
West Virginia and West Florida have been
pushed out of the fuel oil rationing area.
The "B" card ceiling on gasoline is being
broken to let people get to work.
Recapped tires are to be authorized soon
without certificates.
But most of all, no one here is talking about
forcing the public to get pneumonia if necessary
(as Henderson did). This time, on shoes, Brown
hastened "to inform the public as to the rea
sons for the action."
Army Question
SENATE LEADER BARKLEY (leader In name,
anyway) refuses to take seriously the Bank
head campaign to limit the size of the army.
He does not think the restrictions will pass, but
many another congressional authority notes the
growth of its support
Letters continue to pour in from farmers,
labor groups and plain citizens to an extent
where chief of staff, General Marshall, may
have to make some compromise with congress.
He may not get the 11,000,000 total he desires,
but neither will he be cut as much as the
Bankhead group wants.
Public May Decide
THE Wadsworth-Austln national service (com
pulsory labor) bill seems destined for de
feat. Already, it is being called the "invol
untary servitude" bill and union leaders doubt
its constitutionality.'
Public opinion will probably b allowed to
sift on this subject for a long time before the
bill Is pushed.
Cook Quietly
REPORTS that General Marshall would be
come supreme commander of all Anglo
American forces died down after Casablanca,
but have been cooking quietly inside since then.
The British have been pushing it. .
Such an appointment would not only provide
supreme command, but would promote the unity
of tha two nations for the post war settlement.
" t
Hoover's Intentions .
IT WAS the democrats who drew Mr. Hoover
into the national spotlight here with his views
against increasing the size of the army to the
extent desired by the war department. The
Hoover viewpoint happened to coincide with
Senator Bankhead's.
Some months ago, Bankhead also called
.' Hoover in to testify on price controls, because
his views conformed with those of the admin
istration. While the Hoover move has been widely char
acterized as an Indication of his intent to run
for president in 1944, the above circumstances
belie such a conclusion.
De Gaulle Fades
GENERAL DeGAULLE will continue to fade
from the picture. The impression he made
at Casablanca was not forceful. He controls a
relatively small group of Frenchmen as com
pared with Giraud.

Man
KENO, Ore. (Written on New
Year's eve) As the old year
fades, I am listening to the
radio broudcust of "Our Fight
ing Chupluina" in which "First
Muto Bob" and tho "Crew of
tha Good Ship Grace" are tak
ing a prominent part. It is a
program portraying the splendid
work done by the chaplains
among our men in the army
service, and I think how forlun-
ato we aro to have these men
among our boys, giving them
spiritual help and comfort
What a privilege- it Is, also, to
have this type of program on
the air on Now Year's eve and
the beginning moments of the
new year. It is truly a "Haven
of Rest" a "Shelter In tho
Time of Storm" In the midst
of confusion, strife, misery and
heartache.
To purcnts of boys who are
awoy from homo 14 army camps
and on battlefields, it Is surely
a great comfort to realize that
there are spiritual men of God
among our boys ready and glad
to give counsel and aid to these
boys, .many of them lonesome,
homesick and worried about tha
future.
I hnvo one boy In tho service
and another one (married) who
mny bo in before we have won
this war, and so I am deeply
appreciative of tonight's pro
gram. It seems to me that truly the
most Important thing to give to
our boys Who are at the battle
front atari tu the inuny more
uiiin will Mtiuii ba there la God'a
word, that thoy may receive
faith In uoti, until 10 accept
Jesus us their personal saviour.
They will need Mini to guide
and strengthen thorn in difficult
situations, mid to bu with tnoin
In that lust hour It It bo their
lot to be among tho "killed In
action."
11 u with thankfulness In my
heart that I cun suy Unit I have
this Saviour for myself ut tho
beginning of the now your. I
know the comfort Ha cun give
i ilirtoa nf treM and loneliness
ant! 1 am glud to recommond

In trouble.
Although I uui ulwnys glud to

our service boys, I am con
vinced that their greatest nood
in ti,ia itmnrumitiv la Christ, and
my rcsolvo for 1943 Is to help
bring Him to them inrougn uie
