Ambrose agreed and said In case of fire panic would bo the only danger as groups have been most co operative as far as decorations wero concerned.

Hugh Colo has left the city and his place on the traffic safety committee will bo held by Ralph Waggoner on recommendation of Mayor Houston. Tho parking strips, which have ulso suffered from winter weath er, will bo repainted, especially restricted orean, it was reported. Light Study The appraised price of $475 was offered for lot 210, block 2, Mills second addition, by Or vlllo C. Keller of the Pilgrim Holiness church. The offer was accepted. The lights along Klamath avenue, brought up for discus sion last week by Councilman Bussmun, wcro again reviewed and beforo any action is taken there will bo additional study. The question at hand has to do with the payment of lights, some by tho city, some by property owners. Tho problem goes buck to several years ago when the lights on Klamath avenue were costing something liko $410, and as an economical measure wero alternately eliminated, according to J. J. Keller, veteran council member. Streets will be scarified as soon as weather permits, council men advised property owners, and this much is up to tho weatherman and not the city.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 m A $U,20(l,ftliO,4.')5 appropriations measure 1)1) per cent of which Is listed for direct war purposes was turned over to the houso today lifter a subcommittee elim inated funds for three federal-uld-to-slutcs programs, On the ground that they lacked "tho sanction of enabling legis lation," the committee trimmed from Iho new fiscal bill these federal contributions: 1. Tho sum of $2,073,000 lor the payment to states for care of children of employed mothers. 2. An allocation of $3,182,000 to aid in the cost of the high school victory corps. 3. Grunts amounting to $1, 200,000 for emergency mulcrn lty and Infant care for wives and infants of enlisted men. Planned Board Hit The coinmltteo deferred action on a request lor $05,075,000 "to recruit und distribute an ade quate supply of farm lubor for the 1843 farm year," explaining the subject was so Important it would be handled In a scpuratc bill. Missing from the measure al so was a $200,000 allotment ! which the national resources planning board sought to help pay its expenses for the rest of the fiseul year. Tho house earl ier this month eliminated all financial provision for the 1944 expenses of tho bourd, which Is headed by President Roosevelt's uncle, Frederic A. Delnno. Shortages Noted Unless the bill Is amended on the floor to supply funds, or money is allowed In a' separate measure, the planning agency will have to end Its work by June 30. Mr. Roosevelt ' has described its work as valuable, saying long-range planning is necessary lo save time and money in Initiating projects. An 800-pugc transcript of testi mony which accompanied the bill, a supplemental appropria tions measure to meet extra needs, reflected mounting con cern over the possibilities of shortages impeding the wor ef fort of manpower, of critical material, of ships, food and fuel.

As a result, car owners wilh low monthly mileage can obtain only used and recapped tires. Another chungo in tire ration ing regulations puts "war" tires In grade two, Instead of grade three.

Marine Corps Deserter Taken After Wild Chase A spirited chase throughout southern Oregon ended Sunday with the apprehension of an 18-year-old marine corps deserter, according to state police officers. Perry C. Wile, marine, was arrested last week in Lane coun ty, charged with desertion. He was moved to a Washington base and two marine corps mili tary police were detailed to re turn Wile to California. During the early hours of Sat urday morning, the young ma rine escaped from a southbound train somewhere in the vicinity of Modoc Point. His clothing had been removed by the police but a second outfit in his kit was donned by the boy who was homeward bound someplace near Wendling. Wile is said to have reached his father's home at Wendling and taken the family car. Near Eugene two state police officers gave chase which ended some where in the mountain country. Officers notified Les Finley. local marine recruiting officer, who advised the military police waiting in Klamath Falls that the man was in Eugene. Wile was then moved south, accord ing to last reports. The cassock worn now by English clergymen and choris ters was derived from an outer garment formerly worn by soldiers.

(P) '. "' Joseph Kloc, who received IT " No. 1 ration books lost May, ap- . plied for the No. 2 books, but '. said he only wanted 15. "Two of my eight boys have ' Joined the armed forces," he ' told registrars, "and now I have only my wife, six boys and ' seven girls home with me." He agreed to return the No. 1 books issued to the two boys , now in the service. As say. to y0t 1 T -1 J "Hi -AND m GOING TO DO IT THE PATRIOTIC WAY? N." mats tfie spirit America needs right now. Even more than you know! Very soon, you're coming right up against a problem that directly affects your family's 'welfare and the Nation's strength. You'll soon find you can't b'ey nearly as many canned fruits and vege tables as you'd like. Yet our government says everyone must have plenty of fruits and vegetables every single day. You must feed your family well to keep America strong. Just because you can't get all you need the easy way, does that mean you're go ing to give up? Not a bit of it! , If we know Americans, we think you'll say, "Well, I've still got my brains and my own two hands. I'll do my part. Let's go to work I" Why the need Is so great As the world's largest canner of fruits and vegetables, Del Monte has gladly undertaken to save every pound of fruits and vegetables possible, and still main tain Del Monte Quality. Last year's Del Monte pack was the largest in our history. But our armed forces needed about a third of it We hope to preserve even more foods thig year. But well over nan ot tnem Is already spoken for by the Government Dividing the rest among the hotnefolks doesn't leave the plenty you're used to. That's why, it's up to you this year if you want all the vege tables and fruits your family will you You can raise vegetables we can't grow and can for you. You can put up the fruit from the single tree or small orchard we can't reach. We don't like to ask you to do this job. it s Del Monte s business to save work. But this is an emergency! That's why Del Monte advertising this spring and summer will urge American housewives to plant Victory Gardens. It will point out the need for putting up fruits at home. It will urge every Ameri can housewife to join in a cooperative nation-wide program to "Save the 5ur plus in 1943." Here's how you can join: I. Put In a Vegetable Garden Use every bit of surplus ground. Grow fresh vegetables, to sup plement the canned vegetables you buy. I. Hon to put up frutt this Summer Every jar of fruit you put up at home will stretch your family's ration and keep surplus fruit from go ing to waste. Of course, you can't draw on just the finest crops, as Del Monte does. You can't do your canning where each fruit grows best You can't always be sure of the uniform quality you find in any Del Monte Product. But the job must be done and you can do it well. COURSI YOU CAN STIU GET MANY One caution, though. Fruits, because of thefaf acidic nature, are relatively easy to can at home. But all classes of non-acid foods, including most vegetables, require special care and special equip ment for sterilization. Don't can any product unless yon follow approved methods exactly. For official instructions send 10 to Supt of Docu ments, Washington, D. C, and get USDA Home Canning Bulletin No. 1762, or consult your State University or County Extension Service. 1. tuy rationed foods with special care Choose the Del Monte Fruits and Vegetables you buy with your "points" so that their quality and variety will count most in serving attractive war time meals. Many of these fine products are in terchangeable in use and health values. You can select the varieties with lower "point" values, and know their quality will please you. Three other suggestions: . It's more important now to get tha brands you know. If you prefer Del Monte, look for it. Make your "points" buy just as much real quality as they do quantity. Also, it's especially important to plan meals ahead and shop ahead. You'll have to do it to make your "points" go round. , And your grocer, more than ever, needs your utmost cooperation. Added to all his other wartime difficulties, he now has the double job of supplying you and banking . your ration "points" as well. Only with vour understanding help,' can he give you the best possible service. So, shop early in the week early in the day and only as often as you must . We'll be ready to save you thig bother again when the war is won. But until it is, what Amer : ican woman will hesitate to do her part if it's needed to keep her family better fed, and strong I In com one1 glati bolh the tome quality. TAKi THE VARIETIES YOUR GROCER HAS "FILL-IN" WITH THE FOODS YOU GROW AND CAN AT HOMI
