Wvk. tit aula, Chlcarx Portland, Lo Anctlfa, MALCOLM EPLEY Managing Editor Today's Roundup Advertising Roundup B MALCOLM EPLEY NEXT week Is national wildlife week, and here's starting it off with some big news tor local wUdlifers. From a most reliable , , source we learn that the fish and wildlife service is making I frvr?.$ pian8 for the establishment ot if. ... nubile shooting grouna, sun- 1l liar to that on Tule lake, in rnnnection with the newly-op- r erative wildlife refuge on Low- er luamain lane. The Droiect hasn't develop ed to a news story stage, but It is in the wind, and the I nuhlie shooting ground will EPLEY probably be open to bird hunt ers this fall. It will be remembered that the fish and wildlife service, when It began operating the Lower Klamath refuge after the completion of the Lower Klamath-Tulelake tunnel, closed the Lower Klamath refuge area to hunting. There followed widespread complaint among sportsmen. Operative parts of the refuge all lie south of the California line, and therefore the public ' shooting ground will be south of the line. Lower Klamath lake areas north of the line are already open. Exact location of the proposed public shoot ing ground has not been reported, but it pre sumably will be near or on the state line. We learn that the fish and wildlife service is permitted to open a part of the refuge for the reason that the Lower Klamath refuge was established prior to 1929. On such refuges established since that date, the rule is that parts of them cannot be opened as is planned in this case. False Picture AHEN designated by President Theodore W Roosevelt, the Lower Klamath refuge covered a vast area in Lower Klamath lake on both sides of the state line. This huge area was never operated as a refuge, but after thai tunnel was constructed to permit delivery of water to Lower Klamath from Tule lake, an op erative refuge was formed south of the state line In Lower Klamath. There are more birds there now than on Tule lake. A year or two ago, when there was discus sion of the effect of birds on aviation here, it was reported from Washington that an executive order was to be made abandoning that part of the Lower Klamath refuge In Ore gon. We supposed that had gone through, but a local fish and wildlife representative says he had not heard of such action. If the Oregon area has not been abandoned i a refuge, it should be done. Also, the fish and wildlife service should discontinue the refuge on Upper Klamath lake, which is serving no valuable purpose. The reason local aviation enthusiasts wanted the Lower Klamath refuge formally abandoned as to the Oregon areas is that it shows on many maps, with the boundary not far from the local field. Inasmuch as it is not, in fact, a refuge, it thus presents a false picture to persons unfamiliar with the facts. It ought to be abandoned and taken off the maps. Tonsorial Squeeze THE last session of the legislature, good as It was supposed to be, had its weak mo ments. In one of them, it passed senate bill 37, the "barbers' bill." Governor Snell signed the bill Friday. This measure permits barbers In any given county to establish minimum prices upon a vote of 70 per cent of the licensed barbers affected. The effect, of course, wculd be to put the squeeze on the little guy who, on the outskirts somewhere, sets up a shop and sells shaves and haircuts for less than the bigger shops. The legislature and the governor should not stoop to aid such a purpose. This writer wouldn't patronize the little guy In question, but if he wants to set up shop and ell haircuts for a nickel, complying at the same time with rules of sanitation, etc., that should be his right and privilege. If this meas ure isn't unconstitutional, then the constitution doesn't mean what we thought. One of the unpleasant things about gas ra tioning is that because of it we see less of our friends from neighboring towns. We haven't encountered a friend from Lakeview or Alturas In a long time, whereas In the old days folks from such places were frequent visitors here about and sometimes came to our office, where they are always welcome. We happened to see an old friend from Merrill this morning, and realized he might Just as well have been living In Florida so far as concerns visiting with us any time in the last six months. We'll be happy, some day, to get acquainted with our neighbors again. ADDISON back in those By DELBERT ADDISON WHEN a person gets lost in the woods he stops looking for tracks and starts look ing for some bigger guiding sign. The person interested in business and ad vertising, lost in the maze ot federal rules and restrictions, may well look for the real signs of the times. Let's forget the current set of rules and the number of small businesses closing their doors, and look for something bigger. Back in the days of the Blue Eagle (Remember? The late Hugh Johnson was then the number one bureaucrat.) . days the first sign of hope came when we realized that the auto Industry was humming and that Klamath dealers were starting to do business. At the beginning of 1942 nine out of ten pre dictions said that the auto dealer was through the first business casualty of the war. These predictors didn't reckon with the fact that the auto dealer is a pretty ingenious Individual. He had to be, to survive the keen competition of the business. True, some doors did close a couple in Klamath Falls. But the others made ad justments, and though you'll find an OPA or a display of farm machinery in their show rooms, still they are going businesses. They are even advertising. Not a tenth the volume of 1941 of course, but they're not asleep at the switch and they're doing a good job. The auto business has survived. Long Range Outlook FOR the past year or two advertising general ly kept going on a hand to mouth basis. Some advertisers quit, waiting until "conditions were right." Others kept up, knowing they were doing ail right today but making no commitments for tomorrow. All at once, you get the feeling of a new .outlook in the business, and this comes from the little country retailer and trie big city manufacturer alike. There's no upswing in advertising, the volume is still going down. But, the hand to mouth outlook is being supplanted by a long-range, constructive one. You get the feeling that the advertiser has looked at the worst, or is looking forward to the worst yet to come, and can see the other side. , Advertising is Business Insurance A E'VE had evidence of big advertisers (and W they don't spend their money just for the fun of it) operating on the theory that the best Insurance of their future business Is to help direct people Into the fundamentals of the day. . . Blitz-Weinhard devoted over a quarter page Thursday to Victory Gardening. This may seem a far cry for a brewery, but if people eat well they're more inclined to enjoy a glass of beer. Del Monte recently advised us to grow and can our own, instead of depending on Del Monte. Maybe we'll be glad to go fishing again some day instead of gardening, and will remember Del Monte when we look over the grocer's shelves for provisions. Local stores, that can sell about all they can get now without giving real service or doing any advertising, are keeping at it. They'll get our first call when the . scales tip the other way. Progress Not Dead THE whole point is that advertising depends on progress. Lower prices, better products and services are the things that advertising has always ushered in. If the advertiser who, a year ago, pulled in his horns, believing we were heading for some sort of a communistic, regulated existence, if he Is gambling on the future again then pro gress isn't dead. Advertiser Like Duck Hunter THE perfect ad Is never written. The perfect ly planned campaign Is never executed, Advertising moves too fast. Yesterday's ad is dead and tomorrow's ad isn't published. (But like yesterday's dead newspaper, the ad had contributed its bit to the way we live.) The person who is waiting to write the per fect ad will still be waiting tomorrow. He'll be waiting until "conditions are just right," and someone else will have published the best ad of the day . . . and will be planning to morrow's ad with knowledge of the mistakes he made today. . The advertiser is like the duck hunter. If he waits for the perfect day and the perfect shot he won't have many ducks to pick. But the gent who keeps plowing through the mud and swinging with the teal learns how to lead them, and his butcher suffers for a while. Planning advertising and trying to analyze the trends Is like scanning the skies and plug ging through the mud. You either get the feel of it or you don't. House Farm Bloc Speeds Parity Bill To White House (Continued from Page One) farm bloc, in complete control, forced the issue. There were few city mem bers on the floor when the bill was called up, most of them having gone homo for the week-end. Pace's bill had been listed for consideration next Tuesday. Senate Approval Sees Senate approval was freely predicted, but indications of a presidential veto came from Chairman Sabath (D-Ill.) of the rules committee and other members, including some sup porters of the legislation. The administration has stoutly op posed the proposal as being of an inflationary nature. Former OPA Administrator Leon Henderson estimated it would boost 1943 food prices as much as $3,500,000,000, but Pace contended the cost of liv ing would be increased less than $1,000,000,000 this year by his measure. Training Count The Girl Scout leaders will have a four hour training 'course Tuesday and Thursday evenings of next week starting at 7:30 o'clock at the chamber of commerce it was announced.

Lowden was 82. He lived on his farm near Oregon, 111., but spent the winters in Arizona for his health. During the 25 years he spent in active politics, Lowden held only two offices congressman and governor but few men in history came closer to the presi dency of the United States with out attaining it. His last years were spent quietly, but upon numerous occasions he was con sulted on republican party af fairs by mldwestern leaders, par ticularly regarding agricultural policies.

A WASHINGTON dispatch to day tells us that Anthony Eden's week of conferences here seems to have focused diplo matic attention on sovlet-Amer-lean relations. Regardless of what the dip lomats may think, we common, everyday citizens out in the sticks are convinced that as long as the Russians keep on fighting Germans as fiercely as they're doing they're entitled to our warmest commendation and sire cerest co-operation.
