MALCOLM EPLEY Uanaffing Editor Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY LOCATION of the local rationing board of fices in the same building with the district OPA office, suggested as a logical move in this column several momns ago. ap pears now to be a possibility for the near future. TKa rntlnn hruarrl. nccordinC it-m recent new stories, has Sf, been having It troubles be-M-'v vt-'i cause it has no money with which to pay rent. The Odd Fellows lodge, which owns the building In which the board offices are now located, pro vided the charters rent free EPLEY for many months as a praise worthy patriotic act. It has been recently report ed the lodge has asked for rental money, and finding money for that purpose has been a sub ject for discussion between ration board and district OPA officials. It is understood the latter contend that no OPA money is available for rent of local ration offices. OPA has never made full use of the space and facilities provided in the district offices estab- llshed here. There exists the possibility the current problem can be solved by locating the offices in the same building. From the standpoint of public convenience and elimination of confusion, having all the OPA functions here Quartered together makes good sense. Frequently, people with business to do with the OPA have to go from one office to another, and at times one does not know whether he should visit the district or local office to transact his business. Putting the of fices together would solve these problems. A decision on this matter is expected within few days. Saving Rubber ANNOUNCEMENT by Ed Ostendorf, OPA dis trict manager, that state police are to- be asked to "clock" motorists in an effort to en force the 35-mile-an-hour speed provision, indi cates that there has been a public tendency to violate the war-time limit. , Purpose of the 35-mile-an-hour provision is to save rubber, and anyone who has been driving regularly within the limit- knows that slower speeds do wonders in tire conservation. Tires that long ago would have been worn out and discarded, under the peace-time high speeds, are still on hundreds if not thousands of cars in this area. They are still giving service in a time when rubber shortage is a critical national problem. . This has been accomplished because people have slowed down their driving speeds. Unl versal compliance with the 35-mile-an-hour regu lation is definitely in order. 0 Bonds For Fighters WHEN a person buys a war bond, he Is really not spending a cent, although it may be difficult sometimes for htm to realize that fact. War bond buying is not the unselfish contribution that some seem to think. It is a safe investment,' and therefore an excellent place to put all spare money. We were told today about a Klamath county man whose bond buying is done on a more unselfish basis than that of the rest of us. He Is C. J. Bricco, 72-year-old business man of Fort Klamath. Mr. Bricco is buying bonds, but he is not buying them for himself. He gives $23 bonds to men in the service, chiefly men from the Wood River valley where he lives. Mr. Bricco has bought forty-two $25 bonds and presented them to service men. That, friends, is something! Mr. Bricco did not tell us about what he Is doing, but an ac quaintance of his who knows the facts has reported it to us, and we know the public will be Interested in this fine demonstration of kind ness and unselfish patriotism. Others Could Do It RELAXED and happier than they have been for many months, four more wounded fight ing men have' just gone back to a bay area hospital after 'a visit to Klamath Falls as guests of Klamath's great Commandos. What is done here for the wounded men brought to the city by the Commandos could be multiplied by thousands if other communities would follow the Inspiring lead taken by the Klamath Commandos. Authorities at the bay hospitals have only the highest praise for the local effort, pointing out that the people must take over where the doctors leave oft In re habilitating these wounded men. There are great numbers of them, and Klamath, alone, can care for only a comparative few in this way. But there is every indication that these few have benefitted tremendously from the local project. Nothing that has happened in years has given us a greater pride in our community, and to the Commandos and those who have helped them must go the credit. Advertising Roundup By DELBERT ADDISON EVERY man who has successfully built up a business sincerely believes that it is the most wonderful thing going. He has worried and worked at it over a per iod of years probably, and all the little things that he has i done day by day, and all the things his outfit has accomp lished, give him this unalter able conviction. Sooner or later, for one rea son or another, there'll come a time .when the urge to trans mit this conviction to others will bring him to advertising. Unfortunately, unless he's ADDISON the exception, he'll want to voice his own con clusions, and expect the rest of us to agree with him. What he overlooks is, it was the little specific things, coming day after day over a period of time, that sold HIM on his business or product . . . and that it will take the telling of these same little specific things, over a period of time, to sell the rest of us. a Business in the Dog House BUSINESS people (big AND little) have been hurt, disillusioned and embittered in re cent years to find themselves the butt of the jibes and insults that go with being in the dog house. Clifton Fadiman, the book reviewer and "In formation Please" man, said the trouble with business men is, they quit reading books just before Sinclair Lewis wrote "Main Street." So, not knowing the reason for the ridicule, they don't know what to do about it. A lot of things have happened to jar people loose in their thinking since Fadiman wrote that, so there may be some hope for the tired business man without him keeping up on the latest best sellers. War-Time Ad Trends THERE are two main developments of adver tising in these war times. One is the ad vertising on direct war needs. You don't have to look any farther than the ads on the "Klam ath Pelican," appearing in The Herald and News this month, on this score. If a Flying Fortress doesn't carry the name, "Klamath Pelican," over Tokyo, it WON'T be because our business people failed to back It. The other trend, just starting to develop, Is coming from the man who Is convinced that his business is wonderful, has been baffled by others not sharing his views, and who is doing something about it. This is public' relations advertising, actually. (And the term, "public relations," has a nasty sound to any newspaper man, from past associa tions. You know ... the glib "public relations man" who tried to get the PAPER to say, in a few high sounding phrases, that his business was wonderful.) Let's think of this public relations advertising in the sense, of opening the door to the public and giving a true picture of what goes on Inside. The best ad of this sort to date, appearing here, was run by Union Oil recently under the heading,. "How to Drill an Oil Well for 52.08." The ad told some of the little, specific things that go into the drilling of an oil well, and the running of a large corporation. It would be interesting to know who started the wheels rolling In the making of this ad. The copy ended: "This series, sponsored by the people of Union Oil Company, is dedicated to a discus sion of HOW and. WHY American business functions. We hope you'll feel free to send in any suggestions or criticisms you. have to of fer." Been Done Wrong By THIS column has been badly treated by sup posed best friends. To start with, Jus McDonald, the strong right arm of this adver tising department (the --af gem wno looked alter my duties while I was (1) hunting, (2) fishing, (3) gardening, etc.) Mc donald received some kind of a note from Washington to see a sailor in Portland at once. LIEUTENANT JUN IOR GRADE justin a. mcdonald spent all of 15 j& minutes between trains fw- explaining in detail all St" 'A the intricacies of taking care of the large vol ume of advertising he had handled, where to find the mats (in that pile behind his desk), McDonald and so on, etc. No time for a column last week. Next, the alleged columnist next door, in his libidinous desire for something of interest for a change, deliberately stole my anecdote about the LIEUTENANT JUNIOR GRADE duck ing Into the train to dodge some gold braid only to find that It was another green pea, Lt, 0. g ) Tom Stoddard. (The story fell a little flat anyway.) At any rate, here's a picture of the LIEUT. J. G., and that silly looking grin is on account of the picture being taken at the farewell party we gave him. (And now I have to trot along and take care of some of his ex-business.) I hope it's hot in Tucson. Redding Man Waives Preliminary Hearing , Labern Frank Keller waived preliminary hearing in Justice court Saturday after being brought here from Redding by Dale Mattoon Friday to answer charges of burglary not in a dwelling. Keller, whose bond has been set at $2000, allegedly forcibly entered the New Method clean ing establishment for the pur pose of theft on May 15. The new Mustang dive-bomb er. eaulDned with rilvo hrilm bomb rack and six high-calibre machine guns, is the fastest dive bomber in the world. It Is expected that most of the army air force men will cling to aviation as a vocation or avoca tion after the, war. SIDE GLANCES - ' '' cowt laaa t a KMl, twc. T. at acq, u. at. orr.

The little red flower of re membrance will again be made available to everyone in the Tulelake community on May 28 and 29 by the volunteer work ers who will contact the public under the direction of Mrs. Eddie Gresham, Tulelake auxil iary poppy sales chairman, and Mrs. Helen Thomas, auxiliary president. Girls of the junior auxiliary will assist the adult workers. More Americans than ever be fore, according to those on the committee are expected to wear the flower this year as a tribute to those who have already given their, lives, and to the disabled veterans of World War 1 and their families. The sale is one of the major projects of the year for the local organization. Mrs. Leah Cloney, depart mental president of auxiliaries of California, urged on a recent visit here an all-out effort in this year's sale of the blossoms. Members here learned from Mrs. Thomas that veterans who are able to manage making the blooms also make quotas for those men who are blind. Mrs. Thomas stated this week that 8000 poppies scheduled for delivery in the Hawaiian Islands have failed to arrive and have either been lost at sea or sent elsewhere. The local unit will sell' 1000 poppies. Defense Calendai The luncheon hour Fridav at Block Leader council meeting was taken up with reports to Chairman' Jean Puckett of the progress being made In the vari ous areas. Several areas are nearlv com pleted in the "V Sticker" cam paign and the registration of nurses. Others have found some reorganization necessary, but In general the work is nroeresslne satisfactorily.

Attu battle followed a declaration by Secretary of the Navy Knox late yesterday that the cam paign was successful and It had already entered the . stage of mopping up. From today's communique, however, it was obvious that the mopping up involves some stiff fighting since the Japanese, although split into three groups and pinned with their backs to the sea, were in rough country and capable of putting up stub born local resistance.
