with which KlamBth county's $30,600 Red Cross
war fund quota Is going to

EPLEY
ADDISON
raise
the fund first and talk about
fj our generosity and humane
leeungs aiterwaras.
The quota is a large one
and it is going to take a lot
of giving to make it. And
why not go far over the quota,
or even double it?
Here's something that calls
for a contribution from every
earning individual in the Midland Empire. But
there are a lot of people who, if they get the
Idea other people will give enough to make a
quota, will hold back and see if it doesn't work
out that way. The Red Cross deserves better
treatment than that.
A Privilege
CONTRIBUTING to the Red Cross is a priv
ilege that has been saved for the American
people in a time when the government is doing
just about everything. It is important to the
morale of the country that we can still give,
voluntarily, from our private funds, to such a
cause.
The Red Cross occupies the unique status of
being responsible to the government, and yet
not supported by it. Since 1905 it has been a
quasi-governmental agency. Its peace-time re-'
aponsibilities are great; in war-time, its duties
are vastly expanded.
Collection and preparation of blood plasma is
a new job, representii.g the most important med
ical development this war has produced. Blood
plasma will save the lives of men we know on
distant battle fields.
The Red Cross has taken over an unpre
cedented responsibility in the personal welfare
and recreation of service men, helping them
fight the enemies of boredom and homesick
ness. It is operating 150 clubs and rest centers
overseas; it manages the third largest chain of
motion picture theatres in the world in U. S.
military hospitals and camps abroad. ' '
An appreciated service of the Red Cross is
performed in checktng-up heme conditions for
service men worrying about their families, It
is the official recruiting station for army and
navy nurses. It is the medium of communica
tion between prisoners of war and their home
land. In local chapters of the Red Cross, 820,
000,000 surgical dressings have been produced,
at the rate of about 500,000 an hour. Volun
teers have turned out 14,300,000 sterile gar
ments such as operating gowns and bed shirts.
Red Cross knitters last year made at least
2,000,000 sweaters, helmets and mufflers.
Up to December 15, 1942, the Red Cross had
shipped' 1,004,000 11-pound food parcels to
American prisoners of war and interned civil
ians. We could go on with more statistic to fill
this column. But is it necessary to say more
to convince Klamath people that they should
give, generously and quickly, to this great
work?
Incidentally, we should stress that matter of
giving quickly. Collecting $30,600 takes a lot
of work, and the volunteers who are handling
the Job here are busy people, even as you and
I. It is an imposition upon them to ask them to
call back.
Let us give now and demonstrate that Klam
ath Falls, Klamath county and the Midland
Empire are behind every phase of the great
work being done by the American Red Cross
in this critical war year.
No Surplus Worries
A CORRESPONDENT writes us that he has
been criticized because he is preparing to
put in a victory garden.
This strange situation, he says, is based on a
theory that he ought to buy his vegetables from
poor neighbors who are going to have gardens.
The food shortage this year is nationwide
and critical. Our correspondent and his poor
neighbors can both grow gardens and find
plenty of need for all the vegetables they can
grow. .
No one need worry about a surplus.
The thing to worry about is that the food
demands for the people in this country will
be so great that we will have difficulty in
meeting our obligations to the men who are
doing our fighting and to our allies.
This is a great and vital problem. Every
ounce of production off a piece of ground, in
the back yard or in a great field, will help to
solve it.
Surely, the nrf fa, .. ... ' ""non s propaganda paper that gets
to araue about ywiing priority on overseas shipping. But Senator Hoi-
; ' man and others are looking into this.)
Advertising Roundup
By DELBERT ADDISON ,
THE advertising for War Bond sales has been
I taken out of the hitch hiking classification
in New York City. Up to now the treasury
department has depended on
the advertising run by news
papers themselves and on ads
picked up by the thumb wav
ing method (such as Klamath
Furniture's ad of a week ago.)
Now, with the approval of
me treasury department, an
independent board has been
set up in Manhattan to sell
and coordinate a continuous
advertising program. The ex
penses of this group have been
underwritten by the eight daily papers in the
district until it becomes self-sustaining,
This program becomes something of a test
case, and if successful, will undoubtedly be
adopted in many communities. In this "New
York Plan" the working group, while not
part of the War Savings committee, works
closely with it. The plan calls for the in.
sertion of two ads a week in each of the daily
papers in the district.
The important point is that it takes bond
sale advertising out of the hit arid miss status
and puts it on a consistent year-around basis.
Planned Pre-Selling Here
THE plan is not entirely new, but it is the
I first one actually put into operation on such
a large scale.
The Klamath Chapter of the Red Cross has
done about the same thing here to prepare for
its drive next week. Through the work of
Mrs. Rose Poole, publicity chairman, an ad has
appeared each day for the past week dramatiz
ing the need for Red Cross funds,
(Mrs. Poole, through long experience in the
show, business, knows the value of pre-selling a
campaign through advertising.)
Your Voice on Public Projects
THESE ads were paid for by business people,
I whose names appeared at the bottom of
the ads. They believed that this money spent
lor advertising would be more effective for the
drive, or could be more easily given, than their
time spent in beating the bushes for individual
contributions.
You are constantly reminded to write your
congressman ... to tell him your likes and
dislikes on his actions. The business men run
ning these ads are taking part in a program
oi a definite public nature. They would u
doubtedly like your comments also.
After all, the way that any public enterprise
is. conducted depends in the long run on what
you and I and the next guy think about it.
Would you like the Red Cross continued on
the present voluntary basis, with each of us
participating in some way, or do you want it
handled by another government bureau?
Newsprint- Restrictions
INCIDENTALLY, New York newspapers have
I given priority to this war bond advertising.
They already are rationing advertising.
To date, papers out here are not hurt by
curtailment of paper and metals. We are now
allowed 90 of the 391 tons of newsprint it
took to publish The Herald and News in 1941.
While circulation has gone up about 1000 copies
since then, the decrease in advertising has cut
down the size of the papers to more than make
up the difference.
Another cut In paper wag in the offing but
heavy production in Canadian pulp mills made
this unnecessary for the present at least. Can
ada provides 75 to 80 per cent of the paper
used by United States newspapers.
Ready for Paper Restrictions
NEWSPAPERS, of course, will be glad to
comply with any further restrictions neces
sary to the war effort. They are ready and
willing and already have made plana to oper
ate under such conditions.
When the little clique of newspaper-haters
in Washington started the move to restrict
newsprint by half, constructive steps were taken
to clarify the situation. This resulted in the
Canadian survey which showed that stocks were
adequate for continuation on the present basis.
(The present 10 per cent cut from 1941 use
provides just about enough paper to print the
Posies Make Way for the
Lowly Onion in Portland
PORTLAND, March 6 (IP)
Remember that old lyric
"Don't bring me posies when it's
fhoesles that I need?"
In keeping with the general
sentiment, Robert Hastings,
president of the Northwest
Florist association, today began
moving out beds of marigolds
and petunias to make way for
cauliflower, cabbage, onions,
celery, peppers and groundcher
rics at his greenhouse.
"I never thought I'd be doing
this when the flower market
was so good," he said, "but you
can't cat roses."
Other local greenhouse men
are following suit. '
By raising the seeds into
small plants they can save the
amateur home gardener consid
erable grief and disappointment.
The plants will be sold for
transplanting into outdoor gar
dens. Governor Signs

Three Bodies Taken
From Wreckage of
Plane in Arizona
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., March 6
(IP) An unidentified airplane
crashed Into Mount Elden, one
of the group of towering San
Francisco peaks, at 1 a. m., to
day, exploded and burned. Three
bodies were removed from the
scattered wreckage.
The fire was visible more
than 40 miles and was still burn
ing an hour after .he crash.
The airport at Winslow, 90
miles east, reported to the sher

bomber, circled the field there
several times shortly after midnight.
OREGON RANCH
MAN TO STAND 1
MURDER TRIAL iff
LAS VEGAS, Nov., March 6
(IP) A -year.old Oregon
rancher, Walter Duncan, must
stand trial on charges of killing
his hired hand, Russell (Buck)
Cone, after his wife divorced him
with the expectation of marry
ing Cone who, it developed, al
ready had a wife.
This was ordered by Peace
Justice Paul O'Malley after Dun
can's preliminary hearing, at
which Coroner Jack Larry testi
fied tho rancher told him he shot
Cone after Cone attempted to
beat him.
Duncan testified Cone fell in
love with Mrs. Duncan In Ore
gon, that the three came here for
divorces but that after Mrs. Dun
can divorced the rancher, Cone
took no steps to dissolve his
marriage.
Pending her divorce, Mrs.
Duncan stayed at a tourist hotel
with the two men, with Duncan
posing as his 36-ycar-old wife's
father-in-law, Larry testified.

Max Stephan, Detroit restaurant
owner convicted of treason
against the United States, asked
the supreme court today to set
aside his death sentence.
He was charged with harbor
ing a German aviator, Peter
Krug, in his flight from a Can

The supreme court petition as
serted that "all of the overt acts
alleged in the Indictment were
acts of aid to an Individual that
do not constitute acts of treason."
"A verdict should have been
directed of not guilty on the
motion of defendant for failure
to prove aid and comfort to an

petition added. '
