MALCOLM EPLEY Jianaptnf Editor Today's Roundup Bf MALCOLM EPLEY ' A RE you writing regularly to the men you know in the armed forces? Theft a small duty In comparison with the good It doei, ICif fc' many of us this scribe 77"yi pleads guilty himself do not I Yido enough of It. u a . r .. . j What letters rrom nomo ana f&f s1 friends mean to the men in V VHhe sen-Ices is convincingly 'I f .told in a message which has V .lbeen received here from Major T Harlan Bosworth of Klamath Tails, now in New York for the army engineers. Because Major Bosworth makes an elo quent plea for letters to men of all ranks and all services. w i. Bosworth we are going to follow a sug gestion, made by several persons, that we carry It here. First, for a little background, we will say that Major Bosworth wrote this message to the directors of the Klamath chamber of commerce, who had previously sent him a batch of notes from each of them. But the application is gen eral, and we urge every reader to follow through. .... A Plea and a Challenge HERE it is: "Until you have left home and family, and have changed your entire mode of living, thought and dress, and have acquired a differ ent outlook on life, you cannot fully appreciate the' value of letters. They afford relief from unaccustomed discipline, and provide at least a temporary mental return to normalcy. "In the armed forces, letters are read and re read.. Lack of time, opportunity or facilities may often prevent a reply.. But whether or not an answer is received, you may rest assured that the letter irrespective of length, or even within reason, of subject matter has been ap preciated. "At mall call, I have seen anxious anticipa tion,, unbelievable . Joy and abject dejection. A letter? Yes, just a few written words is all that counts. Thoughts are fine but one-sided, thoughts reduced to paper require effort but produce material results. You know this to be true, but you grow calloused because letters are a requirement and obligation of your every day, business, life. "The board of the Klamath county chamber ef commerce once appointed me 'director ef old ' established customs.' The creation of a custom is simple and now each of you have created one one which will be a pleasure to you with a very small expenditure of time and effort, and which will directly' benefit the War. Effort. , -.. - , '"Organize a Letter a Week Club.' Once each week, at a specified time, each of you is to address a letter to. some person known to you in the armed forces preferably some one who Is . not likely to receive much mail. Let the time be established, say, between noon on . Tuesdays and noon on Thursdays then there . will be at least, a small amount of personal effort involved and your work for the balance ef that day will be just a little more pleasant because of the knowledge of a kind deed done. "Morale does not need boosting but some times, sustaining. I am carrying on correspond ence with some of -my new-found friends in Africa, India, Australia and other points on. this globe. The profit is mine, for the pleasure it News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 37 An inner turmoil has been stirred throughout the highest circles of the domestic war management bureaus (WPB, OPA, etc.) by senate passage of the little- noticed civilian supply bill. Despite the sternest opposi tion by WPB Director Donald Nelson, the Administration Leader Senator Barkley, and most of the other admlnistra- tion senators, voted for the bill. The original idea came up from one Joseph Weiner, in charge of Mr. Nelson's MALLON minor division of civilian supply. Mr. Nelson seemed to have stopped this pressure not only by his opposition to the bill, but by supplanting Mr. Weiner with a friend, Arthur Whiteside. It now develops, however, that Weiner has been kept on in WPB, yet hardly with the approval of Mr. Nelson. Reports also have been circulated persistently that Prentiss Brown, the OPA director, an un happy man if there ever was one, will take the job in charge of a civilian supply board if the measure passes the house. He, too, has not been permitted to clean house freely in. his agency. It is still full of the old Henderson crowd. Congressmen surmise the presidential alter ego, Harry Hopkins, has been functioning from the White House to preserve friends in both WPB and OPA. The bill has been held up in house banking committee in order to sound out thoroughly how great an explosion it will cause in both WPB and OPA if it is passed. Invasion Jitters THE most common outside supposition here is that the northeastern seaboard gas crisis is a sign of coming greater air attacks in Europe and probably invasion. It is true in vasion of North Africa started shortly after the last ban on pleasure driving. It is known, also, the army and navy made exceptionally heavy demands for gas and oil in the New York' and Philadelphia areas about a month ago. What might be called the official Inside story, however, offers several sufficient tech nical reasons to account at least for a tempor ary shortage, perhaps not one of the two months duration which is promised. The pipeline, break due to floods shut off one-fifth of the normal eastern supply for a few days. But it already has been mended, and last week, the eastern seaboard received the largest tank car delivery in all history 880,000 barrels. The figure would have been over 1,000,000 except for the floods. However, some tankers were sunk. Also, canal waterways were flooded and unusable. An. Bonorrou amount or 1 . coupons were cashed (apparently there is a loop-hole in this phase) at a time when some gasoline stations were shutting down, thus increasing demand on outers. 000 Roosevelt's "Busy Day" MR. ROOSEVELT has been so busy with war planning, he has not even been able to see the bickering house and senate tax con ferees throughout their days of deadlock. When they applied to the White House for a private conference and guidance, they were referred to . the treasury department.

"You are planning for the future of Klamath WLB Opposition eounty. But plan for more than the industrial, agricultural and economic phases. Plan for the mental attitude of the members of the armed forces 'who will return. Make them constant boosters of the community through friendly gestures. Some will not return. For them, , the time for acts of kindness and appreciation is now, rather than on some future Decoration Day. "GIva your serious thought to this suggested program. Let It be known as the 'Klamath program If you wish. Give proper publicity, I am sure that its common sense appeal will cause it to spread for the good of the whole. . "The director of old established customs has spoken." Nothing more can be added by us. It can be done individually and by groups. It is a chal lenge to all of us. The untimely death of Mrs. C. S. Elliot brings shock and sorrow to her many friends and as sociates in Klamath Falls. Mrs. Elliot con tributed much to the welfare of the community while she lived here, taking an interest in all worth while things. Her public spirit may welj be emulated by others. SUSPICION was strong and rather general J among congressmen that some of these un explained recent brief strikes were designed by certain labor leaders to work the same way that John L. Lewis has been working against the "little steel" price-wage formula in favor of price roll-backs and against the war labor board. Certainly, they all expressed pres sure in that direction. While all national labor leadership has been publicly anti-Lewis, there is considerable sub stantial evidence to suggest that he is getting secret sympathy in certain quarters. Certainly the United Auto Workers (Chrysler strike) have been almost openly sympathetic in their announced economic policy. But Mr. Lewis Is encountering In the govern ment a difficult technical situation. Mr. Ickes has obviously tried to lean the miners' ways for a settlement several times, as could be expected in view of Mr. Ickes political histori cal background. But the labor board Is jealous of its prerogatives, and let everyone know the matter of its integrity would, have to be con sidered before apy appeasement of Lewis could be worked out by the politicians. (Mr. Ickes in charge.) EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) one has paid any attention to him. When the time comes to PAY for all this extravagance (not re lated to the fighting of the war) he will have more credit In the ys of the American people. It will then, of course, be TOO LATE to do anything about it but PAY UP. 'THE bulk of the home front news today (aside from the floods in the Mississippi valley) is concerned with labor disturb ances, which must stiffen enemy morsle greatly by arousing (false) hones of Industrial col lapse In this country. We must remember that the Jap and German propagandists are magnifying these disturb ances to the full extent of their ability, seeking in every way known to them to make it appear that the United States is tottering on the verge of internal break up. The Japs and the Germans would LIKE to believe this as much as we'd like to believe they're about to crack up from the inside. THE machinists, with half a million members, are quitting the AFL. Their complaint is that the ' carpenters' union is muscling in on the dues. ooo PERMITTING these disturb ances in wartime appears to this writer to be evidence of bad leadership, which MISREPRE SENTS the very real patriotism of the rank and file of dues paying workers, who have sons and brothers in the armed serv ices and are loyally doing all they can to advance the war ef fort so that the Job may be fin ished and their boys can come home. About the only explanation that can be offered is that the leaders are blinded by the big money that is pouring In under the pressures of the war effort. Too much money nearly al ways tends to WARP people's minds. Ginger root is now being grown by Puerto Rican farm ers. Dried egg production in 1942 was 139 million pounds.

There's a meaning to those flowers, Something serious, one call telL Yes, kind sir, there Is a story, It s not cheerful, but it s brave. The story of our World War Veterans And the life blood that they gave. It's the story of St. Mihlel, Of Chateau Thierry or Belleu, Battles fought on fields of Flan ders, . Red with blood, and popples too. Many boys were torn and. crip pled, Some their buddies burled there. The rest fought on to beat the Germans, Avenged the wounds their comrades bear- Now, every year disabled sol diers. Make thousands of these paper flowers, Replicas of Flanders poppies. Symbols of war-shattered hours. Auxiliary women sell the pop pies- That is all sir, Just ten cents Every dime for soldiers' families That is how the fund Is spent. Now we have another army, Boys who also need our aid Two popples, sir? Thank you kindly." "Lady, ma'am, your point is made." WELTHA WILSON, President of Corbett Unit, Corbttt. Oregon.

Sot Marsh;. Bill Burry was reflecting b on the last war and what the boys used to do when they got furlough. ' "We weren't a Jisrd-drlnJtlng bunch particularly, but that was in Prohibition." said BilL "and forbidden fruit always seems worth goin' after. We'd hunt up a bootlegger, which was easy, and buy a bottle. "So, instead of a beer or two, well-I guess we generally drank too much! . . . wonder what the boys are doing this time?.' I got out the official report the Office of War Information made and read him this: "The fact that there Is vastly less drinking among soldiers In this war may stem In part from the sale of beer In camps." From where I sit, U certainly 'doesn't look as if we had to worry about our boys. We learned our lesson In the last war, and I'm glad to soo wo're pa the right track now. Ti HIS is the kind of weather when you have to get down to business and use a night cream that will keep your complexion in condition In spite of the sun and wind and dryness. The other day I got to talk ing to Thclma Davis about this point, and she gave me a 101 01 good advice and information . . . Which I will pass on to you now. 1 There are all kinds of night creams for all types of skin specially prepared by the Hel ena Rubinstein studio , . , And you should use only the one best suited to you. For Instance, Rubinstein's "Novena Cerate" Is a special night crcsm for unusually sen sitive skins that can't stand any stimulant ... While "Neo Vitelle" Is an all-purpose night cream inat worKs perfectly on many, many people. (Which reminds me that, al though Neo-Vitclle costs 5 a Jar, It lasts for ages ... I still can't see the bottom of the jar I bought more than a year ago, and I use it regularly.) Then there's Rubinstein's "No vena Night Cream" for skins that need stimulation . . . And, of course, throat creams and such ... As well as Rubin. stein creams for normal and young skins to help them stay unit wBy. If there's anything you want to know about skin care, though, ask Thelma yourself At Currln's.

Fern Short was telling me about that the other duy while I was waiting (or Ruby Engnl to finish combing out a gal so she could start working on me. Fern said that beauty opera tors have more trouble with permanents In tho Fall than at . any other time of the year, aim. ply because we gals have been ' running around without hnls, swimming, etc. . . , Our hair gets dry, brittle and bloached out, and we export permanent to get It back to its previous . state miraculously. As I have mentioned In for mer years, a course of hnlr treatments during the Summer months will keep your hair In shape . . And then you won't have all that trouble after the Summer Is over. , At the Studio of Beauty there are several dlfforent types of hair treatments, depending on what your particular hair or scalp needs ... It you are a good girl and take all the troat- monts, your hair will be soft ' under the sun and will take a perfect permanent In the Fall. A good thing to remember, though, Is to wear a hat when you'ro out In tho sun . . . That helps! Incidentally, the Studio of , Beauty at Whytal's will bo closed Monday for the Memori al Day holiday.

Then she told me she had on , 'cosmetic stockings," tho kind you take out of a bottle. You'll find two different- kinds at Moe's . . . Elizabeth Ardcn's "Velva Leg Film" In three shades . , . Two sizes, SI , and $2 . . , And Charles of the . RIU' spot-proof "Leg Make-Up", - which comes in a light neutral shade and a darker sunlan . . . Either Is $1. She reminded me that no one can wear these artificial hose . without first taking all the hair off her legs . . . And recom mended "Sleek," which Is a de pilatory cream . . . And the famous "Wondcrstoen" or "Ba by Touch mlts to rub off short hair. w If you are one of the many who doesn't like bare feet In. shots, be sure to ask about the , 'Kitten Treads," which are , socks to cover the feet only . - They're 36c.
