CHAIXIS, Idaho, April 3, (IP)
Mercy flier Penn Stohr today
begins his second hunt In less
than two months tor' army air
men aground in central Idaho s
primitive wilderness.
In mid-February Stohr, veter
an Cascade, Idaho, pilot, put his
ski-equipped plane down on froz'
en Loon lake to rescue five men
marooned when their army plane
crash-landed.
Tuesday night a four-motored
bomber, believed based at Walla
walla, wasn., crashed into a
mountainside near here. Ground
crews reported there were no
bodies in the burned wreckage
and it was believed the crewmen
parachuted before their plane
crashed.
Scene of this manhunt is 125
miles east of that which centered
at Loon lake.
Lt Thomas K. Perry, public
relations officer at the Walla
Walla field, said it was almost
certain that the plane which
crashed here was the one miss
ing from his base.

BED CROSS "UNKNITTING
By ROSE POOLE
Probably the oddest war re
lief organization in America is
the Unknitters' club a group
of women who meet weekly in
New York City to unravel
sweaters and socks that other
well-meaning women through
out the country have knitted
for Uncle Sam's sailors and
soldiers.
Their biggest task is unknit
ting turtle-neck sweaters that
well-meaning ladies make ap
. parently under the impression
that such garments are the pre
vailing doughboy style. These
women also unknit socks be
cause many of these hand-made
hose would fit an elephant.
The Unknitters' club works
in close cooperation with the
various war organizations, who
send the members their "impos
sible" , contributions. After un
knitting an outfit the women
send back the yarn.
The club was founded by 10
women who wanted to aid the
war effort, but were unable to
knit, so they hit upon the un
knotting idea.
However, your Klamath coun
ty chapter of the American Red
Cross has never yet been a can
didate for the Unknitters club.
Over 1000 garments have been
knitted by the Klamath county
chapter and not one has ever
been returned, and this surely
fsDeaks well for the aualitv of
J the work done here. If a gar-

completed. Mrs. Louise Albert-

ment, wishes to extend her
thanks and sincere appreciation
of the very fine work done by
all those who have worked on
this program.
The next quota will be
knitted for the navy and the
yam will be ready for distribu

Well, fellas, the folks at home
are struggling with more ration
ing restrictions . . . Meats and
fats are on the list now . '
Meats have been mighty short
in local markets, but the supply
improved during the last week
. Various scares have oc
curred in the rationing business
. A false rumor got started
this week that gas was going to
be frozen, and everybody rushed
down to filling stations one eve
ning, only to find the next day
they could still buy gas.
Three Klamath men were list
ed this week as prisoners of war
of the Japanese . . . They are
Cliff Clegg, Alonzo Palmer and
Gail Beckham . . . Major Robert
Fensler of Tulelake was report
ed missing in action in the Far
East.
A huge muskrat take for furs
has occurred in this area this
year, particularly on Tula lake
. . . Some eating of muskrat
meat has been started, with the
animals described as marsh rab
bits around the dinner table...
A small quantity of meat from
Tulelake has been shipped to
metropolitan markets.
Gardening is getting into
swing in this area ... A lot of
vacant lots once used for weed
patches or kid baseball will
grow gardens this year.
The state guard has estab
lished battalion headquarters in
Klamath Falls with Major D. D.
Van Fleet as battalion comman

overflowing its banks in the
Chiloquin area . . . Farmers are
starting early planting but the
country is wetter than usual
this time of year . . . Trial of
Kenneth Wallan, on a second
degree murder charge, started
in circuit court here . . . Three
youths who found a farmer with
his car in the ditch near Bonan
