the re-location of The Dalles
California highway from Beaver
Marsh south, in Klamath county,
which will cut five miles and
the Sun mountain grade out of
this Important route.
Answering another inquiry,
Baldock said that the re-location
of the Willamette highway at
the Goshen (western end) is al
ready surveyed, part of the work
has been done, and this project
is ready for immediate action
when construction is permitted.
Development of a more favor
able junction with the Pacific
highway at that point is one of
the projects in which Klamath
people are warmly interested.
Baldock's optimistic picture of
the road building in the state
was taken here as to indicate
probable development on The
Dalles-California highway north
of the Willamette junction, as
well as Improvements on the
"funnel roads" such as the Warm
Springs and the Santiam.
The engineering staff mem
bers were . Introduced at the
chamber luncheon by Arthur
Schaupp, highway commissioner.
The men here included H. D.
Farmer of the PRA and the fol
lowing state men: R. W. Cozad
right-of-way agent: W. E. -Chan
dler, district engineer; J. W. De-
Souza, attorney and engineer,
and H." C Smith, . construction
engineer.
The group left here for Lake-
view, with the purpose of look
ing over the uncompleted con
tract on' the Quarts mountain
section of that highway. Farmer,
as federal engineer, is particu
larly Interested In that project,
but said he could make no defi
nite assurances concerning it un
til he makes his inspection and
reports. The job has been under
contract but is temporarily at a
standstill.

Observers said the axis forces

The German command includ

struck on an v eight-mile front.

Twenty-seven of these tanks

SALEM, April 22 W5) Mar-
ried men with Children acquired
before December 8, 1841, will
be deferred temporarily, but all
other men with dependents
probably will enter the armed
forces by next fall, unless they
are deferred for reasons other
than dependency, Col. Elmer V.
Wooton, state selective service
director, said today.
"Oregon at the present time
is inducting only single men or
men who acquired dependents
after declaration of war, but
this pool of rrren is near exhaus
tion and calls in the next sever
al months will include men with
dependents," Colonel Wooton
said.

and may benefit the local gar

"It is believed that existing
plumbing will prove adequate,
providing the gardener will ap
ply the theory, of irrigation by
a small flow over a long period
of time.
"The appeal of the nation's
leaders for people on the noma
front to raise their own vegeta

ceived an enthusiastic response
locally. The program has been
furthered by the press and radio
and by the specific efforts of the.
local Victory garden committee
and of the mayor and officials of
the city of Klamath Falls.
An official request of the J
common council of the city was"
made by Mayor Houston, for a
promotional victory garden rate.
The company's response in coop
erating with a program was the
filing of a temporary supplement
for the benefit of the victory
gardeners."

The office of war information

Water service extensions of
not more than 250 feet, the state

There is no alternative water
source which would require less

5000 square feet of land devoted
to the production of edible
crops; extensions are made with
not more than 5 feet of pipe for
each 500 square feet of cultivat
