NSPEGTION
Camp Fire Girls Inc., of Klam
ath Falls, will soon officially
open another camping season.
Opening date has been set for
August 1, and camp will close on
August 15. Girls desiring to en
roll should register on Wednes
day or Friday, July 14 or 16 at
Moe's, between 2 and 4 p. m.
The camp fee for this year has
been set at $9, including trans
portation.
"Camping this season has pre
sented to Camp Fire Girls stall
and executive board," said Mrs.
B. C. Johnston, president, "a
two-fold challenge; a challenge to
give each girl an opportunity to
develop the qualities and skills
which will help to meet the men
tal and physical demands of the
present day; plus a challenge to
the camp leadership to overcome
the manifold problems involved
in camping in wartime. The gov
ernment has authorized the use
of chartered buses to camp. The
staff is prepared to provide a
program of work and play which
will contribute to the health,
happiness, and character growth
of every girl attending camp this
summer."
The rationing, of food will
necessitate some changes in
menus, but well-balanced, nutri
tious meals will be served. The
camp director will be assisted by
a staff of counselors who are
well-qualified to direct the var
ied activities offered by the camp
program. Among the activities
planned are hand craft, nature
lore, archery, swimming, camp
craft, dramatics, folk dancing
and music.
A registered nurse will be in
attendance at all times.
FDR "Regrets"
Lack of Crop
Insurance Fund
WASHINGTON, July 13 IP)
President Roosevelt signed yes
terday the $848,295,883 agricul
ture department supply bill but
said that he "regretted exceed
ingly that congress failed to pro
vide funds to continue the crop
insurance program,
In a statement to the press
after making the appropriation
bill law, the president said: .
"I certainly hope that when
congress returns from its recess,
funds will be provided to con
tinue this program which will
mean so much to our farmers
and at the same time enable agri
culture to be placed on a more
stable basis than ever before."
' Mr. Roosevelt commented that
weather is the major hazard of
agriculture and said: "Certainly
in these times when the farmer
is being urged to produce more
and assume greater risks, "we
should not stop a program which
is of such tremendous potential
value to them."

Railroad Yarn Writien by
Local Locomotive Engineer
Tommy O'Brien, locomotive
jengineer for Grciit Northern
I here, is the author of a true talc
of the mils nearly eight pages
long which appears in the Au
gust issue of the Kailroad mag
azine.
The article entitled "Did I
Tie Up the Road?" concerns a
story which happened in 190S
j oricn rciuics inai ne was
given orders to run an engine
to Glasgow, Mont., after having
already worked for 31 hours
without a rest. O'Brien was
then just a young and inexper
ienced engineer unfamiliar with
the road. When his fireman
walked out on him, the young
engineer was assigned one
"Juck" supposedly an exper
ienced fireman, but who turned
out to be an cx-shcephcrdcr
and anything but help on the
trip.
After several hours delay for
various reasons they finally got
started and some time later were
caught in a rain storm, but near
their destination, or so O'Brien
thought. Seeing a light ahead,
e thought it must be a station
and having been working steady
! for 43 hours without rest, dc-
cided to pull in and get a few
hours rest while Juck kept
watch.
No Station in Sight
When he awoke O'Brien dis
covered that he wasn't in a sta
tion at all. The light he had
No Blitz -Weinhard in

happened to you. It can
happen to your dealer,
unvarying quality,
its -87-year tradition of
excellence, makes it always
worth waiting for. If you
can't get Blitz-Weinhard
at jour dealers today,
seen must have been n watch
man's lantern and what he
thought to be a station hi the
driving ruin, he rcnlizcd now
with sinking heart, was a steam
shovel. The engine was on a
gravel pit spur, lost in strange
territory and "the main line wus
tied up with a meet with a stock
extra at Frazcr." Juck was
asleep.
O'Brien goes on to tell how
he finully got out of his pre
dicament and back to Minot,
where strangely enough he had
to answer no embarrassing iiium
tions, nor was he ever "called
on the carpet" for tying up the
railroad for seven hours,
O'Brien is now pulling freight
between Klamath Fulls unci
Bieber, Culif., and hus worked
for the Great Northern here for
12 years. Ho lives at 43S Pu
clfic Terrace.
The August issue of the Rail
road maguzinc, In which the
above story is printed, is alroudy
out in the east and O'Brien hus
for the past few days been get
