really suffering from a dry throat.
Assuming that some form of rationing Is
necessary, it Is advisable to keep It on a basis
that will not encourage bootlegging. Liquor
consumers would do well to recognize the need
for rationing, to cooperate In the program,
and to abstain from patronage of any illegal
practices that may spring up.
We have had a good liquor system in Oregon.
The administrators, we believe, will follow
sound and sensible policies in the current situa
tion, and the public can help by cooperating in
the emergency program.
Guest Editor
ON THIS page today we have a "guest edi
torial" by Mitchell Tillotson, giving an
authoritative report on business and productive
activities in the Klamath country at the close
of the first quarter of the year.
Mr. Tillotson is not only manager of a local
bank but is also president of the Klamath coun
ty chamber of commerce. He is well grounded
in this country, having been in the banking
business in Lake and Modoc counties, and also
be has done a little newspapering somewhere
along the line in an interesting career.
Mr. Tillotibn is also a darned good fellow.
Having camped with him, and having been in
automobile breakdowns with him, we know.
Those occasions provide real tests.
From time to time, we plan to carry guest
editorials of this nature in the adjoining column,
interspersed with Deb Addison's interesting
comments on advertising and Paul Mallon's
nationally syndicated articles from Washington.
OPA and Beer
AE HAVE had inquiries the past few days
VV as to whether there are OPA ceilings on
haircut prices and beer. The answer is no on
haircuts, yes on beer.
AU taverns must sell draft beer and bottled
beer in containers of less than 16 ounces at
the same price they charged in March, 1942.
If. they were getting 20 cents a bottle for
western beer at that time, they can legally
charge that price now.
On bottles of 32 ounces (one quart) recent
additional taxes permit the addition of one
cent per quart on prices charged in March,
1942, and on 64 ounce bottles (one-half gallon)
an addition of two cents a bottle is legal.
Two Klamath Falls taverns have recently
been forced to roll back their price from 20
cents to 15 cents a bottle on western beer and
from 25 cents to 20 cents on eastern beer.
Others whose prices have been advanced since
March, 1942, are subject to prosecution under
OPA regulations.
We do not know the reason for this unusual
interest in beer, but we have had several let
ters inquiring about ceiling prices. That is
the answer.
Favorable Comment
NOT all news carried on the national press
wires about Klamath Falls is unfavor
able. In an Associated Press round-up of efforts
being made over the nation to solve juvenile
delinquency problems, we note mention of
Klamath Falls twice. This is one of the
cities which is endeavoring to enforce a curfew,
and it Is one of the still fewer cities reported
to be making an effort to provide wholesome
entertainment and recreation for youngsters
along with the curfew program.
Our boys club In the Salvation Army build
ing is really something to crow about, and
readers who haven't seen it should drop in
at the Fourth and Klamath street building
. some time.
Borne time ago, the city street department
yanked up most of the old-fashioned traffic
buttons from the streets as a measure of tire
protection in these rubber shortage times. For
some reason, a few buttons were left, and
they, too, ought to come up. Buttons are still
in the pavement at Lincoln and Ninth streets,
and at Main and Esplanade streets. Why not
get rid of them?
In a brief editorial re-printed on this page,
the Salem Statesman says the "dictates of
politics" brought about the appointment of a
new man, Arthur Schaupp of Klamath county,
on the highway commission to succeed Herman
Oliver of John Day. Without arguing as to
whether Mr. Oliver did a good Job, we would
say that it was time the dictates of fair play
brought about the appointment ot a Klamath
county man to the powerful commission. . ,
An old friend of many Klamath county peo
ple, Colonel Frank Light, passed away last
weekend in Lakeview. Colonel Light was 83
years of age. He was widely known for hi
good works. He was active In fraternal circles
and In many community affairn in Lake county.
Lakeview isn't the tame without Colonel Light.

Business Roundup
By MITCHELL TILLOTSON,
Manager, First National Bank. President
Klamath County Chamber of Commerce

volume of money In the form of bank
deposits, retail trade in Klamath Falls has held
un exceptionally

Of course merchandising It

have suffered and the future
tor them is aouDtiui iney nave, tilloTSON
In fact, held up in volume Kmii-imt
better than might have been anticipated a year
ago. Much of the present volume in these lines
is, of course, maintained by shifts in method
of operation to meet changes in markets and in
volume of various types of merchandise avail
able for resale. In this particular automobile
companies, farm Implement distributors and
building material dealers have been most re
sourceful. Of course, soft goods, shoes, ready-to-wear,
food stuffs, accessories and many other lines
have had difficulty in meeting the demand.
It is not a new economic theory that people
buy things when they have money with whicn
to buy. And that is what is happening today.
Never in the history of Klamath county have
there been the volume of deposits in banks and
financial institutions that there is today. In
fact deposits have more than doubled in the
past five years and much of this increase has
come about within the past year as a direct
result of financing government expenditures
through sale of government securities to banks,
which procedure has. of course, a very direct
inflationary effect.
Plenty of Money
THE result is that fewer people In the county
have a great deal more money with which
to purchase a smaller quantity of goods. This
pressure will be continuous throughout the
war period so far as anyone can now foresee.
In other words it would appear that the
volume of retail and wholesale trade will be
limited, so long as the war lasts, only by the
volume of merchandise availablefor sale.
Of course it is well known that merchants are
finding it harder and harder to keep their
shelves stocked. It should be made clear, how
ever, that this is no cause for panic on the
part of the buying public. There will be an
ample supply of the necessities and a goodly
supply of many of the luxuries. However, pro
duction in the non-essential field will be more
and more limited by the supply of labor and
of materials if such materials can be in any
way utilized in the war effort.
Clearing Picture
IN THE two principal fields of productive
endeavor in the county, lumbering and agri
culture, the picture is beginning to clear some
what for the coming year.
Production of lumber has been 'seriously
hampered by weather conditions for several
weeks, and inventories are now at the lowest
ebb they have been in the closing days of
March for many years. However, ground con
ditions in the logging areas have been improv
ing rapidly in the past two weeks and the
date on which production can be in full swing
has undoubtedly been advanced. Nevertheless
logging on a full scale basis will be later than
the average of the past few years and will
throw a greater burden on lumber - concerns
to provide the volume of lumber which will
be required during the ' current year. And,

it will not even be used In
temporary war structures from which a part
may later be salvaged for other uses.
Present indications are that the mills will be
kept very busy supplying these demands, and
this is more nearly a certainty for pine opera
tors than for fir mills.
Farmers Do Their Part
IN THE field of agriculture also some little
light Is beginning to dawn. In spite of a
shortage of labor and fertilizer and perhaps
some shortage of machinery farmers of the
county are planning for acreages of vital crops
In excess of anything heretofore attempted.
Only the future can tell what the production
tonnage may be. This will still depend largely
upon the three vital but unknown factors which
are still disturbing the picture, but the farmers
are unquestionably doing their part and are
taking some chances with their own funds in
produce as much as possible.
Within the past few days some effort has
been made by the president, most belatedly,
to clear up the labor situation by the appoint
ment of Chester Davis to work on the farm
manpower problem. Mr. Davis knows the
farmer. It is doubtful if he

PHARMACISTS AND ARMY
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
the Editor) Dear Editor: There
appeared a news item In your
paper of March 24, an announce
ment of a special training pro
gram being offered young men
of 17 to 22 years old. I noticed
particularly that some would be
trained as pharmacists.
The army has now more phar
macists than they know what to
do with as evidenced by the
fact that unlimited numbers are
serving in the army in every
other capacity except as phar
macists. I personally know of
pharmacists who are graduates
of Oregon State and registered
in this state by examination and
yet when they entered the army
and sought the work that they
were adapted for the army told
them there were no openings.
A relative of mine was shunted
off into chemical air warfare
and is still attached to same.
In civil life a pharmacist must
be a graduate of a four-year
course in pharmacy, pass a rigid
written and oral examination
and have not less than one year's
experience under the direction
of a registered pharmacist Yet
today the army is taking men
who have never seen the inside
of a drugstore and In 90 days
are making pharmacists (so
called) out of them. If the re
quirements to practice pharmacy
in civil life, and they are, as
listed above, necessary for the
protection of the public, why
under the sun can a man with
90 days training handle danger
ous drugs and medicines for the
army.
I wonder how many mothers,
fathers and other relatives of
boys in service would care to
have their sick or wounded boy
given medicine prepared and
dispensed bj a 90-day wonder.
The changes taking .place in
modern medicine today are a
task for the pharmacist of long
experience to keep posted on
and know dosage and action as
well as ill effects If administered
incorrectly.
The army of today has 8 vet
erinary corps to take care of
the mules, and these veterinar
ians must be licensed and ex
perienced, but a pharmacist as
described by our surgeon gen
eral can be trained in 90 days
to care for the dispensing of
medicines for our soldiers. Which
is more precious, the life of a
mule or a man.
To the mothers and fathers of
men In service I would like to
say that it Is not the fault ot
organized pharmacy today that
your son does not have the skill
of pharmacists In compounding
his medicines. All state end na
tional pharmaceutical associa
tions have exerted every effort
to Influence congress that the
creation of an army pharmacists
corps should be an essential part
ot the army program. Oh, .yes,
there ore a number of pharma-
Is still no certainty that there
will be sufficient fertilizer to
assure the fullest possible pro-
auction from lands on which
vital crops are being raised.
In spite of some difficulties
which will certainly be encoun
tered in the production of Klam
ath's principal commodities,
1943 will be one of the busiest
years In our history, and un
questionably the results as
measured In the dollar volume
of products will compare fav
orably with past year.

but those few cannot avert the
errors of untrained men.
I have no bone to pick with
those men who are 90-day won
ders as they are merely execut
ing their orders, neither do I
have any ill feeling towards
those who may bo trained in the
future, but red tape and regu
lations are overruling good judg
ment.
Investigations, reports and In
quiries are still going on in con
gress and before the military af
fairs committee as they have
been for months without any ac
tlon being taken on this matter
which is vital to the health and
welfare of every man in service.
I'm not looking for a soft job
in the army with a nice commis
sion attached to it, but would
like to see protection given the
man in uniform equivalent to
the man in civil life.
Sincerely yours,
VANCE V. VAUPEL.

KUka Raided
A communique said U. S.
bombers with fighter escort
again raided the Japanese base
at KIska three times on Wed
nesday, flying low overhead to
bomb and strafe the enemy en
campment. In the Southwest Pacific, el-
lied warplanes attacked five
Japanese bases In the arc of Is
lands above Australia.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
headquarters said United Nations
airmen dropped 19 tons of bombs
on the new Japanese base at
Wewak, in northern New
Guinea, and scored two direct
hits with 900-pound bombs on a
4,000-ton Japanese cargo ship.
Support Land Army
Other allied bombers pounded
the enemy at Finschhaff, Sala-
maua, Lae and Mubo, and swept
14 times over Japanese positions
in the region where Gen. Mac-
Arthur's forces are thrusting up
tne new Guinea coast.
In Burma, RAF bombers
twice attacked the rail station at
Monywa, 60 miles west of Man-
dalay, raided a Japanese-occupied
town on the Mayu penin
sula, and strafed the airdrome
at Toungoo.
Meanwhile, MaJ. Gen. (Cor
rect) Claire L. Chennault, com
mander of the new 24th U. S.
air force In China, declared the
