XA P,1(1 hurried visit to Henry Moe, old
W time Klamath business man who came
out of retirement to give voluntary service to
j , . s the war price and ration board
and Is now clerk ot the board.
f;f il'l Ho succeeds Gene Larson, who
E i t. S ho moved over to the district
UrA on ice.
Mr. Moe knows the Klamath
country and
as anybody; he is an ablo
business man, and his volun
teer work on the rationing
board has given him a work
ing knowledge ot the intri
cacies of the OPA. He will
1
EPLEY
render good service.
A major problem at the local ration board
offices, he told us, is the maintenance of a
supply of competent help. The present over
head of the office is frozen, no more paid
workers can be employed, and whatever relief
can be obtained must come from volunteer
help.
Many people have given volunteer service,
but the supply of that type of help fluctuates
and just now it Is again at lov ebb. What the
board needs, Mr. Moe explained, is volunteers
who can give their time on a fairly steady
and consistent basis. Those who can come
only once In a long while, or who can stay
only a short period, do not contribute much,
for they spend most of the time they give
learning what to do and how to do it.
Mr. Moe pointed out that the work Is inter
esting and It is a real service to one's country.
He is hoping for more steady volunteers.
Realistic
MB. MOE has a realistic attitude toward the
rationing problem that is needed If the
thing is to work without seriously hampering
the normal and justifiable activities of the peo
ple, industry and business. He believes it is the
function of his office to follow in general the
rules and to apply them flexibly, realistically
and without a lot of fuss to individual problems
as they arise,.
As a sidelight, Mr. Moe told us that one prob
lem that is constantly arising in the board's
work grow out of. the practice of boards in
other localities of providing gasoline enough to
send people on one-way trips to Klamath Falls,
but not enough to get them back to their homes
, and jobs again. The result is that a lot of
people are stranded here, and appeal to . the
Klamath board to help them get back to their
homes. ' '
! In general, it appears to us that the Klamath
rationing office has been doing its job with good
sense. There- are no doubt individual cases in
which mistakes have been made, and it is im
possible to handle such a huge program with
out some injustices.
Dispose of Those Cans
MANY Klamath people have shown an in
terest in assisting in the tin can salvage
campaign which, for various reasons, has been
delayed here and even now will be operated on
a restricted basis.
. Next week has been designated as tin can
salvage week, and it la then that local tin can
savers, will have opportunity to dispose of
their collections. '
There will be no general tin can collection.
People who save cans are asked to take them
to the salvage depot, between Board and Com
mercial streets on Elm. Children may take
cans to school and country folk may leave
their cans at schools for collection.
A comprehensive, longtime campaign in this
area would no doub produce a tremendous
number of tin cans, but such a program has
not been feasible. But local people should not
let the next week slip by without disposing of
what cans they have saved. The results of the
week's effort will determine what will be done
here in the future along this line. '
Water Is king in this country. Currently,
with the Sprague and a few smaller streams
out of their banks, it is ruling a little too
Vigorously, but it promises widespread benefits
as the growing season comes on. There will
be no moisture shortage in the irrigated areas,
and livestock range should be good. The spring
if somewhat behind normal, but late springs,
generally, have marked good production years
in the Klamath country.
Klamath Tails was given national honors this
week for accident prevention work. Our citi

Country Papers Hit Harder
THE big cities, the war boom centers, fared
better, of course, than the country towns.
Metropolitan papers showed an actual gain in
advertising In 1942. Not a big gain (about 2
per cent) but still an up over 1941.
Small dailies were down more than the
average. The papers of Roseburg, a small town
that couldn't capitalize on its vast timber be
cause of construction priorities; Medford with
its Camp White; and Klamath Falls, showed an
average loss in advertising of 12.7 per cent.
Small papers are not kicking. On the con
trary they're happy at not taking a worse lick
ing, and are glad to be able to give sen.' ice as
usual. i
Service as Usual
ALONG the lines of service as usual, here's
a quote from Prentiss Brown of the OPA:
"No finer service in the interest of the
American public has been performed during this
war than the splendid. handling by the nation's
press of the OPA processed foods rationing pro
gram ... It is not an overstatement to say
that without this cooperation the high degree
of public understanding of this huge rationing
program never could have been achieved in the
short space of a few weeks."
Mr. Brown may have exaggerated a little
regarding the "high degree of public under
standing," but you can wonder what it would
have been without the explanations carried
to note that farm organizations
I (which always have been more or less dis
methods of business) are starting
to employ advertising agencies.
The Oregon State Grange has retained Bots-
ford, Constantlne and Gardner, the outstanding
own neck of the woods. Such
Beer, Snow Flake Sodas, Sego
Milk, Shreddies, Shredded Wheat and M-D
Tissue that you see in this paper are prepared
Constantino and Gardner.
The American Dairy association employs the
Campbell-Mithun agency of Minneapolis.
FEDERAL excise tax figures for February
show a drop of 55 per cent in "going places"
items as compared , to a 36 per cent increase
in "stay-at-home" items. Increases: liquor 36,
tobacco 16, light bulbs 33, playing cards
58. Decrease: automobiles 99.
Better advertise lamp shades, bridge tables
and carpet slippers.
At The Herald and News
WANT-AD department: Somebody , is always
mixed up about blind ads. "Blind ads"
are the ones that refer you to a box number in
care of the paper. An advertiser uses this de
vice because it is not convenient for him to
receive the answers direct or because he doesn't
want his identity generally known in connec
tion with the ad.
Write your answer In. a letter and mail or
bring it to The Herald and News office. The
paper cannot give the name of the advertiser.
WOULD have reported what happened to
Martha last week,' but this column got
foreclosed on. ' ' .
What happened was, ; she broke her leg and
we had to shoot her. Strictly speaking, Martha
broke a bone in her foot, had the flu, strep
throat, and, I believe; the measles.
Last seen she was crutching around In a pair
of blue denims. Said she'd be back soon, so
you'll probably have to read where she got

FROM NAVY MAN
KODIAK, Alaska, (To the
Editor) One day while putter
ing around in the barracks look
ing for something to pass the
time away, I ran across one of
my buddies scribblinB away in
ernest and me being of inquisi
tive nature I inquired what he
was doing. In answering my re
quest he handed me the piece
of paper. On it was written the
poem I am enclosing. I thought
it was rather good and wanted
others to read it and feel it
as I did. I am taking for grant
ed that you will publish this,
knowing that your paper was
behind us boys when we joined
the navy on June 7,' 1943, and
you will do anything you can
for us boys. Klamath Falls be

will not disappoint me.
, Thank you very kindly, .
Yours truly,

WHEN UNCLE SAM TOOK
OFF HIS HAT
When . Uncle Sam took off his
hat,
And his coat he threw aside,
We knew he meant real busi
ness, And we got right in the stride.
He looked across the raging
foam,
To see what harm was done,
And when he saw the Jap's
deceit.
The battle sound was rung.
He asked for men to come and
fight,
And give their all for, him,
He trained and drilled them to
their best,
And sent them out to stand
the test.
As Wake and Midway fell to
Japs,
And then Manila and Bataan,
His anger roso at each defeat.
He was determined more to
stand.
When MacArthur left Corregl-
dor,
Uncle Sam was seeing red,
Right then and there he made
up his mind,
That he'd retreat no more.
His boys have fought for him,
As no other men can fight,
They've given him their very
lives,
That wo might live and laugh
and love.

through this lane. The Germans
immediately counter attacked
with 35 tanks (evidently a su

drew. Our artillery then turned loose
on the German tanks, smashing
three of them, whereupon they
withdrew.
The net result of the battlo
was that the Germans HELD
THE LINE and continued to pro

T JNTIL their flanking line in

Wallan sold that his clothes '

with blood specks on the front ,

was cut, that he had a bruiio on

In reviewing tho cose attempted :
to brlni out the way the state
