Yeoman said he telephoned
.the OPA In Sacramento, and
subsequently the board raised

and advised them to atay on
their preaent Job until the situa

I S. R. Black, manager of the
Michigan Lumber company at
t Reno, some time ago was ap-
pointed by northern California
lumber companies to look after
the food situation, Yeoman said
.; Black was reportedly Informed
at Sacramento that northern
' California loggers would got the
. same allotment of points given
.' Oregon loggers,
s The more favorable food sup
: ply at Klamath also was cited
' recently when a largo number of
men at the Potlatch operations
j In Idaho refused to work until
provided moro adequately with
food.
! These instances apparently
; have directed OPA attonlion to
r the Klamath situation, resultins
In tho notice this week to the
-local board that it must conform
W a reduced' food schedule.
Board to Act
; Tho board will probably act
v on the matter Monday, and pre
sumably has no choice except
-,' agreement with the instructions
;; from the OPA. -The food supply
! for camps hero may not be 1m
i mediately affected, and oventu
I ally tho widespread protests
, may change OPA policy.
,! Tho local board, It was ex
y plained, has taken the attitude
it was its job to determine what
was the sensible reduction to
, make In view of all circum-
stances.

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.
