If there is legal procedure, it will be against service stations. When questioned at Ash land, one of the boys said he EPLEY was encouraged to do what he knowledge that "a lot of people are getting away with such things around Klamath Falls." Probably there are few violations as flagrant as that of the local youth, but it has become increasingly apparent that the gas restriction program lacks general public support,, here and elsewhere. Such support can best be built by convincing the public of the necessity of the restrictive measures, if they are necessary to the war ef fort. There has always been a lot of confusion over this matter. If people generally are con vinced that violations are actually harmful to the conduct of the war. we doubt if any great number will be guilty of them. 00 Our Old-Time Exhibits THIS year Is being celebrated as the anni versary of the great 1843 migration over the Oregon trail. In Klamath, this celebration has taken the form of a variety of downtown window exhibits of early day relics old guns and knives, pion eer household articles, old pictures, etc. These exhibits are well worth looking over, and one can spend a most pleasant evening going from window to window. They are spon sored by the DAR. Altogether, these displays would make an excellent Klamath museum collection. News Behind ihe News Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, .

' T wild and wrathful about the inefficient handling of domes t ic problems particularly food. They might well be. A restaurant man here tried to get some cabbages from his wholesaler for several days without results. The dealer finally told him the OPA had fixed such a low price on cab bages that the farmers could get no profit out of selling them, and that he could get 4a I 1 i MALLON no profit by handling them. The same situation seems true nationally. In the Denver area, cabbages recently were being sold at too high a price, sometimes as high as $70 a ton, nearly twice last year's price of $42 a ton. The OPA stepped to, and, instead of fixing a lower price which would give a rea sonable profit and keep the flow of cabbages Blanche Waters to Get Masters Degree At Colorado State GREELEY, Colo Among the candidates for degrees at the summer session convocation of Colorado State College of Edu . cation here Thursday night, Au gust 12, was Blanche Clark Wa ters of Klamath Falls, who has completed requirements for a master of arts degree with major studies in the field of English and literature. .

The wise men here say Mr. Jones will come along with some really helpful statements and actions later, but it is evident the nation is running into ever in creasingly serious food dangers. By mid-winter, Mr. Jones will need a miracle to preserve a balanced American diet. From the recent famine in meats, the government regu lations are plunging us into a period of over marketed abundance for the fall. Beef, cattle and hogs will have to be thrown on the market when the grass dies and feeding supplies (al ready deficient) dwindle further. But, by mid winter, we are likely to have a meat famine again. a Conned Food Production CURRENT canning of fruits and vegetables Is spotty. Some local canneries are reach ing normal production, but the total supply will not be enough; for the army and civilian consumption. Apple and peach production, es pecially peach, is far below normal due to spring freezes. , Nature, however, has lavished weather favors upon the nation's food production as a whole. The eastern drought is confined mainly to Maryland and Virginia, and In no case, goes west of the Alleghenies. The corn and grass is still green to Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. If we could eat all we have grown, we would be well off, but all the obstructions and wastes of a managed economy are side tracking much that nature has given us. 205 upon whom academic de grees were conferred by Dr. George Willard Frasier, presi dent of Colorado State College of Education. , VITAL STATISTICS BOWLING Born at Hillside hospital, Klamath Falls.

But another branch of the government, ODT, refused iced railroad cars, so the potatoes were loaded in hot weather under conditions which caused much spoilage. The crop also was late and ran into northern competition. Therefore, the government had to buy it at the lowest fixed price, and has been giving it away to national institutions and starch fac tories for one-tenth of its cost or less. Little of it ever reached American tables in this time of dire food shortage. About 6000 carloads were involved, most of which were lost to the mar - The cherry growers in the Denver area could not get iced cars for their crop.

Roosevelt and Churchill will go into confer ence at Quebec surrounded by an atmosphere of general suc cess, there's a tricky military problem which may give some trouble, and that's one of them whether there is still enough good fighting weather left this season to enable the allies to take full advantage of Hitler's unhappy position, especially on the Russian front. In short the question Is whether we are going to be able to get at the fuehrer with both fists while he is showing sigas of being hurt, or whether the bell at the end of this round will give him a breathing spell. Sour Weather Another six or eight weeks will see the weather in the Eu ropean theatres going sour. Fighting will still continue, of course, but it will be greatly impeded. This will be particu larly true of the air forces, which will face days on end when little or nothing can be done. What the parley at Quebec will have to figure out is where the western allies can best strike in the remaining good weather so as to assist the great red drive.. The Russians of course want a land front open ed up in France, and the west ern allies also want to get at that as soon as possible. That's the operation which would do Hitler the most harm right now. But is it feasible? Invasion of France An invasion of France is a tremendous operation from every viewpoint. It will require a vast assemblage of fighting men, warships and transports, air fleets and equipment of all sorts. Obviously, it takes time to assemble the wherewithal for such an undertaking, and the Mediterranean operations have been employing much equip ment, and perhaps troops, which would be needed in Eng land for an invasion across the channel. The Anglo-American allies not only have great arm ies in the Mediterranean thea tre, but at the time we invaded Sicily we employed a fleet of more than 3000 craft of all categories. - Takes Time It takes time to move such an outfit. Unless some of it al ready has been shifted, in antic ipation of the speedy conclusion of the Sicilian campaign, there certainly isn't much time left before the autumn weather sets in. This naturally gives rise to speculation as to whether it will be possible to undertake the long berated invasion of France this year a measure which ultimately will have to be carried out in order to beat Hitler, unless there's a collapse of morale in the reich. In view of all the circumstances it may be that the allied high com mand will feel that further op erations in the Mediterranean theatre and Balkans are the more reasonable choice. Garden Leaders Meeting There will be a meeting of the 4-H Garden club leaders in the county 4-H club offices in the postoiflce building on Thursday, August 19, at 1:30 p. m.

It is also being held to complete plans for the' Judging of the gardens in The Herald .and News garden contest on August 23 through the 27th. on ins of AXIS U-BOATS WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 VP) Axis U-boats have been destroy ed at the rate of about one a day for the past three months in allied sea offensives which, an official announcement says, have resulted in the loss of six Amer ican warships during the past 60 days. More than 00 enemy subma rines were sent to the bottom during May, June and July while United States undersea boats continued to exact a heavy toll of Japanese shipping. President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, in a joint statement issued over the week end, said: "Our offensive operations against axis submarines continue to progress most favorably in all areas, and during May, June and July we have sunk at sea a total of over 90 U-boats, which repre sents an average of nearly one U-boat a day over the period.1 The president and the prime minister called for an itensified offensive against the U-boats, warning that the enemy still has great reserves of submarines. The battle must be continued re lentlessly both at sea and in the shipyards, they said. Shortly after the Roosevelt Churchill statement was issued, the navy reported the sinking of seven more Japanese vessels and the damaging of five others by American submarines. The re port raised to 217 the number of Japanese vessels sunk since the start of the war in the Pacific. Twenty-nine ships have been listed as probably sunk and 63 as damaged. ' A navy communique yester day reported the loss of six American warships. The submarine Pickerel and the destroyer Maddox topped the list, which also Included the gun boat Plymouth, the submarine chaser PC406, the mine sweeper Sentinel and the submarine res cue vessel Redwing. The sinkings raised to 110 the number of American warships reported sunk, overdue and pre sumed lost, or destroyed to pre vent capture by the enemy, since the war started, Word has been received here of the death of Mrs. Maude Shucy who died In South Gate, Calif,, on August 14.

Why is it that the associated republics are so loyal to Rua.tln? When the new stato Is added to the USSR they still maintain their nationality. A man of the new associated republic Is given authority. If ho is not educated, Russia educates and trains him. The new republic allows and en courages its langunite In Russian. Not so under the old Tsarist sys tem. They made vassals of them and enslaved them. Russia does not interfere with tho customs of associated slates Simply tries to teach them Indus try and self-support. It pursues the policy the United States has done with the Indians, our In dians have advanced. They have Increased In number and self- support. A large per cent of them can speak English and aro literate. It Russia whips Germany, and I believe she will, she will want and take a large part of eastern Europe. Let her have It, She will do them no harm. She will have earned It. It would surely be better than German domin ion. England and the U. S. seem to fear such consequences. 1 do not see why. I am glad and proud that I am an American. It suits me Russia won't harm us. Let us at tend to our own troubles. We have plenty. Russia has created Industry and abolished Illiteracy. Nearly 90 per cent were illiterate bo fore the revolution. It is only 10 per cent now. Russia estab lished schools and taught old and young to read. The allied nations sure owe a lot to Russia. Where would the war have ended without Russia? She is doing a good Job of fighting Germany. What more can we ask? Russia Is not Interfering with religion, but the church cannot be a part of the government as under the old regime. The church must mind its own busi ness. . Russia is not killing Jews as Germany has been doing. Let her even rule Germany If neces sary. There Is no race or color discrimination In Russia. This Is good. DR. M. P. TABER,' ' Read Complaint BEATTY, Ore. (To the Editor) Why do the people of Weyer haeuser Camp 6 have to pay a license on their cars to drive over 15 miles of county road (that Is not kept up by the coun ty) and Is Impassable five or six months of the year? Then In the spring when WTC does smooth the road so it Is passable the county and state allow the Ivory Pine company to use said road to haul logs over with no li cense or permits and when we do fix the road Ivory Pine Is al lowed to block and ruin said road so if you meet a truck, we'll take to the brush, as with a 10 foot Buick try and pass one on a 16 foot road. It's about time the county does something about this road and not just promise or else there's liable to be h a poppln this fall.

Short and W. H. Woodbury. The small boat, Tule, was launched at Keno and made the trial trip up the river Monday morning. It covered the distance of 24 miles in less than three hours. The Ewaiina was brought through by team and was launched in the Upper lake Wednesday. Later, this boat Is to be put Into service carrying passengers from Keno to Klamath Falls. We believe the time is not far distant when the Southern Pacific and Klam ath Lake railroads will be selling tickets clear through to Klamath Falls via the Klamath Lake Nav igation company.
