Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
ABSENTEEISM has hit the men's class at the
Bed Cross bandage folding room, held
weekly on Monday nights.
Although this class has
never filled the work room, it
l"" iri tnrt nff with attendances
.... V.." w.w. - -
$ ranging from 30 to 40 men
and the results it accomplish
IV ' i- ed' botn direcU' aml mairecl
V vUl lv. were noteworthy. This
class had part in a smart
increase in surgical dressing
production here.
This Monday night's class
totaled 18, including three
teen-aae boys.
nut nf 8000 men in Klamath Falls and
suburbs, that is a miserable showing. Eighteen
equals .00225 of 8000. What kind of support
is that for a project that is of vital war im
portance, a project that actually produces dress
ings to be used on the wounds of men who are
fighting America's battles?
Who are these thousands of people in Klam
ath Falls and suburbs who refuse to give one
little evening or one afternoon (when the
women work) to this undertaking?
What would happen if the men who do the
fighting and sustain the wounds that require
these dressings were to lie down on the job in
similar fashion? Some one, we fear, would in
trude rudely on the card games, the dinner
parties and the other leisure activities that
keep people away from the surgical dressing
classes.
a
70,000 A Month
AN attempt is now going to be made to
produce 70,000 dressing a month in Klam
ath county. That will require 40,000 dressings
a month from the main work room, and other
production will come from Mills addition, and
communities outside Klamath Falls.
As a result of recent efforts to build interest
in surgical dressing work, Including the or
ganization of the men's class, production swung
upward. It is now falling again.
The men's class has produced as many as 737
dressings in one evening. Monday night it pro
duced 384.
One reason for the Monday night drop was
that several of the men in the class put in a
short shift because they found it necessary to
attend a meeting on war bonds and victory loan.
This indicates that many of the same people
who are making these dressings are engaged in
other volunteer war work.
Recently, we received a letter giving us a
round bawling out for repetition of subject
matter in this column. Surgical dressings, we
fear, have been the subject of frequent com
ment, and our critical friend will no doubt be
irked when he reads this. If it irks him into
making a few of these dressings, thus helping
remove cause for comment, both of us should
b happy.
Recreation Room
THE Veterans of Foreign Wars have conceived
a fine plan the establishment of a recrea
tion room at the airport for the several score
young men engaged in flight training there.
It passes without a great deal of public at
tention that a large number of young men have
. been trained at the local field for active
service in the vital air arms of our fighting
units. We have, here at home, a group of
service men who deserve such sympathetic con
sideration as is proposed by the VFW.
The VFW has listed a number of Items
needed for the recreation. They should be
easily found and gladly contributed.
Our headline writer evidently is awed by the
Rotarians as civic luncheon attendants. Over a
story stating the general public is urged to
attend Wednesday noon's luncheon at which E.
C. Sammons will speak, he wrote: "VICTORY
FUND HEAD TO TALK FOR ROTARIANS."
Mr. Sammons also will speak for labor unionists,
Kiwanians, grangers, Lions, Elks, Eagles, or
anybody else who will attend. But we trust all
Rotarians, at least, will be there.
The War Today
Br Dewrrr nsckenzie
IF AN army of 100,000 commandos stormed
their way from the' English channel to Paris
and there devastated the great Renault war
works the cost Including 20,000 casualties in
the ranks during weeks of bloody fighting, and
a vast sum of money the world would, ac
claim it as a magnificent feat.
Our American bomber command under Gen
eral Ira Reaker In Britain sent 133 Flying
Fortresses over Paris and did the job in maybe
three hours. Four bombers and seven allied
fighters were lost. And how do you appraise
that?
Of course, that's a fanciful comparison. How
ever, the allied air forces are beginning to bite
off great chunks of this war, with speed and
small cost in lives and material. We need the
land forces, but we can save hundreds of thous
ands of lives, weary months of battle and bil
ious in cash by intensive development of the
allied air-arm.
Big Plant
NOW when you hit the Renault works, you
hit something. This plant, which manu
factures transport vehicles, tanks and aero en
gines for Hitler Is perhaps the biggest of its
kind in Europe. It got a sorry shellacking from
the Royal air force just over a year ago when
it was employing 30,000 men and running
twenty-four hours a day.
That raid destroyed more tanks so I am
told authoritatively in London than had been
knocked out in all the fighting in North Africa
up to that time. It was a terrific loss to the
nazis, and crippled the works for a long time.
Now the Yanks have tossed a shipload of
monkey wrenches into the machinery again.
This was only one of many raids carried out
over western Europe in the past three days,
including the heavy RAF assault on the much
manhandled armaments works at Essen. Nine
hundreds tons of bombs were dumped in among
the priceless Krupps factories, which are the
right arm of Hitlers Frankenstein.
m m m
Krupps Damaged
NATURALLY Krupps Isn't wiped out or any
thing like it, for the works cover some
800 acres. However, only a month ago a con
siderable number of its central factories were
destroyed by the RAF and the latest raid was
terrific. The point is that while many buildings
were undamaged, a great deal of the manu
facturing is interlocking so that the destruction
of one main building might put a large number
of others out of business.
Such raids must put a fierce strain on Krupps
in the matter of the vast quantity of supplies
needed to keep them running. I'm reminded
that when I was in Cologne not long before the
war started, a friend told me an interesting
thing about the position of the Krupps works
even at that time. He said he recently had
been in a shooting party with one of the
Krupps. Another member of the party had a
new Belgian shotgun which Krupp examined
with much interest and then exclaimed:
"I wish we could get steel to make such
guns in our works. But it just isn't available.''
So even before the war Krupps was short of
materials. What must the strain be now?
FBI Man Reports Alarming
Increase in Girl Crimes
WASHINGTON, April 6 m
FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover, re
porting an "alarming" Increase
in juvenile crime, told congress
today that "if, during this trying
period, we forget the moral
needs of the next generation we
have not fulfilled the trust
placed In us."
"I think there is a very def
inite job to be done in every
community in the country to
combat this growing delinquency
on the part of our young men
and women," he said In testi
mony made public by the house
appropriations committee.
He reported that prostitution
by girls under 21 had increased
64.8 per cent as compared with
last year, other sex crimes by
girls 104.7 per cent, that arrests
for assault by males under 21
had gone up 17.1 per cent and
rape 10.6 per cent. .
He attributed the Increase to
high pay for youths, lack of
recreational facilities, and de-

Mr Own Forest Fir ...
The toughest forest fire of my
experience started from a spark
in the fern of a new cutover, dur
ing an April drought. For 10
weeks after the surface burn the
fire crawled under the duff,
flared out now and then from
snags, and finally blew up, de
stroying a sawmill and acres of
lumber, a dozen homes and a
hundred and fifty jobs.
There's no need to state names
and places here. You will peg
the fire if your time in the west
coast timber goes back twenty
years and if you were there
abouts. The blow-up was on the
Fourth-of July. Does that help?
The fire didn't get much of a
play in the news. It was no Til
lamook catastrophe except to
those who had built themselves
new shack homes in the sawmill
camp.
That was my case. For six
weeks I'd put in eight hours a
day on the green chain, and then
worked into the night and
through all daylight every Sun
day, putting up a snug three
room home. The company fur
ished the lumber free. It was a
rough Job .vhen done, but my
own, a home made by my own
hands.
A week after the family
moved in we were moving out
burned out.
And it started from a spark.
Fern, Duff and Snags .
When April comes in the
Douglas fir forest and the fern
fires begin to smoke the bright
sky, I remember. Traveling the
highways and the back roads,
every farmhouse with fern fields
and stands of young second
growth near It makes a pretty
grim sight to me. Any woods
wise man knows what can hap
pen. ' A live match or cigarette
tossed to the roadside by some
lawless lug or careless conk-head
will have exactly the effect of
an incendiary bomb which is no
more than a giant spark that
feeds on itself until it finds fuel.
That's what happens with the
live match and cigarette again
and again In the average April
The records show April to be the
worst forest-fire month, with
creased home Influence because
of the numbers of fathers and
mothers both working.
August excepted. And most fires
start within a hundred feet of
traveled roads, beginning with a
spark that feeds on dried-out
ground cover, and on second-growth.
That's the first burn the sur
face fire. Maybe there's a show
er that puts out all signs of flame
and of smoke. But if there s a
mat of duff under the burned
fern, and windfalls and standing
snags hither and yon, watch out
for another dry spell.
Fire can lurk and crawl un
derground and then suddently
flare out, like the Jups in the
Malayan jungles. There's a rec
ord of a snag that nursed fire In
visibly through a whole winter
for six months, in fact and
then turned into a giant torch
that threw brands for hundreds
of feet in a strong dry wind.
But who am I to tell you? I just
meant to remind you.
One-Man Armies Wanted
There must be at least thirty
thousand men in western Oregon
and Washington who have deep
forcst-fire scars in their experi
ence in the woods and mills, and
who know from that experience
what human misery may ride on
a forest fire that starts just from
a spark.
Farm homes, camp homes, vil
lage homes, jobs, crops, cars, and
other parcels of hard-earned
properly all aro In danger this
year as never before. You know
why, probably much more than
I do. Every family man of the
forest can be and ought to be a
one-man army in the face of this
danger, preparing for it as the
U. S. navy is preparing against
the nazi subs.

Such a record, he said, Is nec
