FRANK JENKINS Editor Traveling Through Br MALCOLM EPLEV ON board The Challenger, en route to Grand Island, Nebraska. You've heard a lot about how tough it Is to ea,r1 thOCft dfiVS. Well. it, S wouldn't be tough at all If one didn't have to eat We've been on this train two days now. So far as we have noticed, travel incon veniences are no worse than usual In most respects. The train is full, but not Vjammed. There are lots of I An nl.nurrl Hilt thpV are pieasam ana imiuiB company. We're a couple of EPLEx hours behind schedule but we are having a good time with no trouble at all except when we must eat. At dinner time last night we spent one hour and 15 minutes in a torrid corridor of the diner waiting for our turn at table. The jammed passageway was separated from the kitchen by a thin wall and the heat from the coal stoves on the other side seeped through to keep the corridor temperature well over a hundred degrees. Adding to this warmth, were a lovely blond girl, a sailor and a soldier immediately behind us, and a soldier and his very young wife im mediately in front of us. There was consider able love making on both sides of us while we perspired with averted eyes. Yesterday there were two diners, one for the public and one- for the troops. This morning we woke up to find that the diner for civilians had been dropped. The man who had sold box lunches yesterday was gone, and no food what ever was for sale. , Only the soldiers traveling in the special troop cars were allowed to enter the one diner. Nothing was offered on the train for hungry civilians and service men traveling on their own, until late afternoon. There was no grumbling, however. Every body left the train at Cheyenne, Wyoming, and jammed the depot lunch counter and dining room when we arrived at 12:20. Good advice to travelers: Bring along some food to supplement what you're able to buy. ' a a a a Going Home MANY of the service men in our train were with the SEABEES battalion which passed . through Klamath Falls last week after more than a year in the Aleutians. Included are a number of older men with construction exper ience who are returning to wives and children . in the middle west. One of them is so anxious to get home that he has gotten indigestion. We are In no great hurry ourselves but we feel Impatient on his behalf at every stop. The younger fellows don't seem to mind, per haps because there is an unusually large per centage of young, attractive and nice girls on the train. One of the romances developed before our yes. It involves a first lieutenant in the ar tillery, (a swell looking kid), and a cute, blonde second lieutenant army nurse. : Green Country AE'RE rolling today across the Nebraska VY prairies and along the meandering Platte river. Frequently we see batteries of grain bins which probably were built in Klamath Falls last summer. The rolling stock country of Eastern Wyom ing and Western Nebraska appeared remark ably green when we came through it this morn ing, the result, we are told, of heavy snows last winter and unusual spring rains. Along the Platte the crop farmers are work ing fervently to get full advantage of the late spring moisture, and to contribute their part to the nation's food for fighting. a .r"- Intolerance? AS Is quite a common practice among Klam ath Falls travelers, we entrained for the east at Reno. That gave us an evening in the glittering gambling casinos of the Biggest Little City in the World. (Strictly as a spectator). Coming down by bus from Klamath Falls, a stop was made at Newell where a large crowd Of evacuees had gathered to bid farewell to a ' young Japanese wearing the uniform of the US army air corps. The evacuees gathered around the bus and we studied their inscrutible faces for some inkling of what might be going on in their minds. Younger well-wishers shook hands or waved ' in typical American fashion. The older ones bowed ceremoniously. When the young Japanese got on the bus he said, "I'm embarrassed all these people coming to see me off." When we reached Alturas the bus stopped in front of a restaurant in. the window of which was a sign, "No Japs Served Here." The Japanese soldier stayed in the bus. He stayed there at Susanville also. Intolerant? Certainly. In this particular case applied to a young man who has been in the US army two years, it probably was unjustified intolerance. But such intolerance is a part of the spirit that is essential to winning the war. It is unfortunate, but so is war. a Someone From Home WHEN we travel to strange places, some one we know is always turning up. The pleasant surprise came this time shortly after we had boarded The Challenger at Heno. We heard a familiar voice asking the porter when the train would stop long enough so ice cream could be bought "for my little girl." It was Kathleen Thompson, just one section way.

If we've said anything which might reflect on the dining service of The Challenger, we hereby apologize. When we finished our plate of Chicken a la King, the waiter whipped off the empty plate and slapped another full serving in front of us. "It's on me," he grinned. M.E. Advertising Roundup Bf DELBERT ADDISON LIFE these days is a matter of contradictions. For generations we've had it drummed into us to take the advice of the ant, to work w bill?) ADDISON Right now there's a stack of ads on my desk, from the OPA, telling how little extras to best customers make up the black market. (Black market, a British importation, is not to be confused with the old American bootlegger.) Practically everything you do comes under a new set of rules. The easy way out is to accept each new rule as saving the common man and speeding the day of victory; or, to cuss the ding-dang thing as a further invention of the crack-pots. It's not as easy as that, because they're not all good and not all bad. Maybe you throw up your hands, figuring you've got to take 'em as they come anyway, just get set minding your own business, and then along comes a new rule that sets you on your ear. a a a Trade Names Tell What to Expect ADVERTISING, of course, is affected by any thing that changes our living conditions, just as it has had a part in making our living conditions what they are (or were.) And ad vertising Is going right ahead under all the necessary and unnecessary rules of the day; But if there's any one thing that could put the quietus on advertising, it would, be doing away with trade names. Advertising is pretty largely built on the good old American trait of pride in handicraft. You've heard endless arguments over whether Ma So-and-so's biscuits or Sister Such-and-such's were the best. That's advertising in a rudi mentary stage. , Penney puts the name Penco on its sheets be cause the company takes pride in the fact that "Penco" represents a certain known standard of quality. Every trade name, on everything we use, denotes some certain standard of qual ity. Advertising, in each case, tells us what the trade name represents. If you look at a pan of biscuits, and don't know whether Ma So-and-so or Sister Such-and-such, or SOMEBODY ELSE who may never have baked biscuits before, baked them well, you don't know whether they're fit to eat or not a a a a Proposal to Ban 'Brand Names A BUSY small town advertising man doesn't have the time nor inclination to follow all the proposals in Washington that may some day affect hiS business, hut nnur anH then nno up like the uneasy thought of wucurci yuu put ine cat oui Deiore you leu zor the weekend.

The editor of this trade magazine of the steel industry has some very definite ideas on the subject. a a a "Nameless Childrejj" 1 1 QRANDING cattle so as toNhdicate owner Dship is a well recognized and approved method of protecting property rights. The owner of a herd selects his brand which be comes, so to speak, his trade mark. Out in the big open spaces where men are men and cattle the principal product, any one who obliterates a brand is Considered a criminal and treated ac cordingly. In the past, when crime was not as highly regarded or as softly treated as it is to day, shooting or hanging were considered suit able punishments.-. . . "I presume that cattle rustlers may have had an organization or trade association and perhaps a lobbyist or two to protect their interests. If so, they may well have considered how benefic ial it would be to them if a law could be passed making it illegal to brand cattle. They would hardly have the effrontery to ask that cattle stealing be eliminated from the criminal codes, but the elimination of brands would do just as well because it would completely abolish the identity of the product. "Under such circumstances it would be a simple matter for a strong arm man with political protection to take over in a matter of hours or days what had cost another man years or even a lifetime of honest work to build. "Silly even to think of such an absurd pro posal, isn't it? Free men in a free country would not stand for anything like that. But that is exactly what an important and powerful group of economic reconstructors are proposing t SIDE GLANCES CTWCf Just look at the bill Mr. Jones sent me for fixing that leak in our shower bath I'm ccrtninlv going to speak ioi hj5 Wjfc about that!" Medical Agencies, Hospiials Aid in Doctor's Selection Dr. Masters' Health Column Br DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS Written for NEA How to choose a reliable, com petent physician is a problem made mora acute these days, with many of the strongest and best-trained doctors going or already gone into the armed services. Also, vast changes in population centers have come about with the development of war industries, and many people are finding themselves in totally new environments, without such familiar landmarks around them as their family doctors. It is more important than ever that the working civilian popu lation get satisfactory medical care, and that Intelligent distinc tion between competent medical practitioners and quacks be made. Consult Agencies, There are several impersonal agencies of information about doctors available to the questing DUblic. Obviously, the licenisR practice is one of these. So are memoersnip in county medical societies and permission to use the facilities of an accredited hOSDital. And finnllv thr rsrnrH. of the American Medical asso ciation in Chicago may be con sulted and give full objective data about all its members. In formation of this sort may also be gotten from the secretary of me iocai medical society, which is a branch of the AMA. There are certain ii n,i which the layman can observe in maicing nis choice of a doctor. He should beware one who claims extravaeantlv cures, with "secret" medicines. me various healing cultists are not full-fledged physicians, and do in connection with brands applied to products not to cat tle on the hoof, but to beef and other foods in the can, to stock ings, to shoes and a multitude of other products. "The effect on property rights and the destruction of lifetimes of work of both men and money would be exactly the same as it would be in the case of the elimination of cattle brands. But beyond this, the effect on qual ity of product would be deplor able. "No manufacturer can afford to put a brand or a trade name on an Inferior product. Anonym ity is the only cloak under which the "just as good" pro duct can be handled and sold. A brand name on a product is the best possible protection for the consumer because it auto matically forces the maker of that product to maintain qual ity. "We have a word in this language, and it is not a pretty one, that we apply to name less children. Do we want this same term annlierl tn thn nm. ducts of America's farms and factories?" Van Deventer. a a Epleys Heard From AE'VE managed to get out W a paper each day this week much to the surprise of the .Epleys. Jane and Mac pulled out a week ago, and aside from the usual "Having a wonderful time wish you were here" card which arrived from Reno on Monday, nothing was heard. We were just going to call the police reporter on the Reno Gazette when a com munique arrived. Lois Stewart, back temporar ily from a summer of minding her kids, has the editorial de partment well in hand, thank you; and Herb Hemlngsen, shop superintendent, is doubling in advertising to take care of Jane's work on the business side. advertising is not acccptublo practice among reputable physi cians. Doctors who talk glibly and persuasively may frequently mask incompetence with too much "charm," and those who strive to frighten patients and then mulct them with exorbi tant fees are likewise not to be trusted. Last of all, it Is impor tant to consider the term of resi dence and quarters of one's doc tor. Doctors who travel about rapidly from town to town are likely to do so out of necessity. Recommendations One of the best and most di rect ways to receive recommen dations as to a doctor lies tn call ing the director of the nearest accredited hospital and asking for such information. It is also possible, through the various files and publications of the AMA, for a doctor in one com munity to recommend one physi cian or several in another com munity. With these suggestions at hand, the patient can make his own selection further on the basis of personality preference, since agreeable personal rela tionship between patient and physician is extremely import ant in promoting satisfactory re covery. The patient may go even more deeply into the matter of per sonal recommendation, and in quire among his acquaintances as to who stands particularly high among the physicians them selves of the c6mmunity. Mere, size of practice is no reliable cri terion of a doctor's excellence, since the art of salesmanship may be the major factor here rather than the art of healing. Don't develop "war nerves" . . .

Similar expressions came from other union lenders but the additional walkouts toduy cama unexpectedly and In western Pennsylvania, raised tho possi bility of further curtailment In steel production unless the men go back by Monday. Little Chang Nationally, there was little change in tho sltuntion in tho coal fields with operutlons esti mated roughly about one-halt based on comment by operator and union sources. Slightly more than 250,000 of the nation's 521. 000 on the basis of those esti mates were still not working. Tho United States Steel cor poration announced 15 of its 37 blast furnaces in tho Pittsburgh area already aro down.

It fol lowed by just a week of prelimi nary house rebellion which saw the administration's price roll back and subsidy program slap ped down. It was the eighth time a Roosevelt veto had been over riden since 1033. Quick Work With eagerness that presaged the result, the senate took up the veto five minutes after the pres ident's mesagc was read late in the afternoon. Tho senators over rode it by a 56 to 25 vote, 29 democrats joining 27 republicans to override Mr. Roosevelt, and 10 democrats, five republicans and one progressive voting to up hold tho executive. Among those voting to override was acting Democratic Leader Hill of Ala bama. The senate's action was report ed to the house while it was in the middle of a heated debate on an anti-subsidy bill.

West, veteran member, .who an nounced early this spring that he would not seek reelection. The service is for a five-year period and only one is to be named. A second ballot will ask for approval of the $164,000 budget to cover operating costs of the plant for the coming year. Pool Question Much interest is centered on the third question, that of pur chase of the Butler pool for a sum of $13,000. The property is adjacent to the district-owned land. In discussing the coming elec tion, M. S. West gave out the following information: "Last year's budget for oper ating funds totaled $160,000. This year the budget seta the figure at $164,000, which falls for below the 6 per cent limita tion. The price asked for But ler's pool Js $13,000. If purchase of tho pool carries, it will auto matically go Into the budget. Still Reduction "A year ago, the board levied $00,000 for tho retirement of bonds and payment of interest on bonds of Klamath Union high school district No. 2. This year the board is levying $60,000 for the same purpose, or a reduc tion of $30,000. So even though the pool carries, and $13,000 Is spent for the pool, the Increase in the operating budget of $4000 would still leave a reduction for the taxpayers of more than $13,000. "With one more $60,000 levy, similar to the one made this year, there will be sufficient money in, the funds and uncol lected from taxes, to retire all the bonded Indebtedness and pay all interest of the district." Wilson Wiley, legal advisor to the board, announced that any legal resident can vote for director. Only taxpayers can voto in regards to the budget and purchase of the pool.
