Klamath People Make Good Correspondents Af
Notes Reach Friends and Families
Whenever the girls get together these days the general topio
la news from those many Klamathltes who have left our town
during the past year. Most of them remain faithful correspon
dent and practically all plan to return at the end of this gen
eral unpleasantness.
From Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Yarnes comes word that they
are leaving Portland this week with their two children and
their future address will be The Dalles. Raymond has been
named assistant manager of
the First National branch
there.
Blue paper note from Vir
ginia LeMire who is still in
Portland, and has accepted a
position at Sherman Clay
company for the time being.
Her plans are still quite in
definite and she may go to San
Francisco as she originally
thought. Clem LeMire Is do
ing First National and Kaiser
all In the same day. They re
port the housing in Portland
i8well, all that if supposed
to be.
Friends will be greeting
Mary Van Vactor and son Rob
ert, one of these days, accord
ing to word from Soap Lake,
Washington, five miles from
Ephrata where Captain Van
Vactor is reported in charge
of a squadron. From the looks
of things "Van" will soon see
foreign service. They moved
several weeks ago from Salt
Lake City.
Auxiliary Grace Rhoades,
now at Fort Des Moines, Iowa,
has certainly changed jobs in
a big way this last year. Miz'

first graders called her, is now
detailed to driving one of the
post's big trucks to deliver sup
plies to the largest mess hall
at the camp. Her address is
28 Post Headquarters com

Percy Margaret Gill, that at
tractive Red Cross worker
from Camp White, who spoke
to the garden clubbers here
last week, broke out with an
elegant case of measles a few
hours alter she gave her talk.
We sat next to her at lunch
at the Pelican and she seemed
in fine fettle. The next morn
ing she drove home, measles
and all. Miss Gill and Mrs.
Mabelle Hargrove, also of
Camp White, were guests at
the Horace Getz home. Every
body else has had the "miz
zles" it seems, so no one is
worried.
There's lots of "V" mail
these days. All most welcome.
From Corporal Don Rogers,
somewhere in England with
one of our bombing squad-. '
rons, comes a letter to friends
telling them of the fine treat
ment our boys get from the
English people. "They are
helping us by explaining the
difference in the money sys
tem and I've already forgotten
what a dollar is," says Don.
He goes on to observe that
"this war is a lesson in econ
omy as well as a mission of
war!" Well put, we'd say.

Mrs. Ernest Williston of Port
land, who are moving to San
Carlos where he has work to

A. Thompson.
Incidentally, this isn't news
from away from home, but
we'll be getting cards from
Mrs. Robert Thompson and
small Robert, who will be
looking at the cherry trees in
Washington pretty soon. They
plan to leave within a short
time for a visit with Bob. And
properly thrilled over the trip,
too.
