Serv West Coast United Airlines have lines across the continent, from New York to San Francisco, and serve the west coast from Cali fornia to Canada. One of their line goes through Medford, and it had previously been proposed that a shuttle service be operat ed between Klamath Falls and Medford, but this was rejected by the CAB. Oregon Airways in October, 1942, also proposed shuttle service between Medford and Klamath, and this, too, was rejected. A daily schedule of four stops are made in Medford by United planes, and it is not known whether some of these stops would be made in Klamath, or whether new schedules would operate, leaving four stops in Medford and making additional trips via Klamath. Certificate Filed A certificate of convenience and necessity must be filed with the CAB. proving that the lines are necessary to the public wel fare and that the lines can be operated at a profit. A hearing will be held by the board to determine which of the two lines can give the best serv ice most profitably, and this line will be given the opportunity of opening sen-ice in Klamath Falls, Reynolds said. Stove Dealers Asked to Order Now Stove dealers in Oregon and other parts of the Pacific North west are advised by the district OPA office to place orders im mediately with their suppliers to meet their stove needs. It has been indicated that northwest dealers will be elven top WPB priorities on available merchandise because of the shortage of stoves of all types in this critical labor area, OPA omciais explained.
