Dald that much to see a picture show. But
they paid it gladly this time because it promises
not only to be a . good picture but to yield a
handsome sum for a worthy cause.
Reports from certain other cities of the
state, ' where the same . picture Is to have a
premiere showing tonight, indicated seat sales
there were not up to those at Klamath Falls.
That is not surprising.
We had occasion to look over the Oregon
county returns on the July war bond sales
recently.
Klamath, the war orphan so far as military
installations are concerned, was over the top
with 109 per cent of quota. Benton county,
with Camp Adair, lagged with 87 per cent
Jackson, with Camp White, hit 93 per cent of
quota. Umatilla, with an airbase, stood 78
per cent of quota.
Having crowds in the streets and money flow

sincere patriotic spirit. Maybe it doesn't mean

Br PAUL MALLOW '
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 The long awaited
correction of the government's inefficient
formula for allocating fuel oil was promised
by OPA about six weeks ago.
The papers were filled with
official publicity, and an OPA
publicity official called me on
the' telephone to say he knew
how glad I would be to learn
that the old square footage
was being corrected and that
wives and widows of men

ing allowances this winter. Everything was go
ing to be improved.
I have been listening to government publicity
men, good and bad, for the last 25 years, so
I asked to see the specific orders being sent
out to the rationing boards. An outline of
policy changes came in the mail next morn
ing, and they sounded quite promising. How
ever, no specific orders were in the outline, so
I decided to delay my cheering until I saw what
. the OPA did not just what it said it would
do.
The fuel ration application blanks sent out
through the local rationing boards a few weeks
later hinted at a far different state of affairs.
The applications were simplified, but they left
the home owner only two alternatives to
take a voluntary reduction or get the same as
last year. The blank did not allow any op
portunity even to ask for an increase.
In order to get any oil at all, the home
owner was required to accept the injustice's of
lasi year or voluntarily refund

indefinite promise was made that sometime ! overnment to .be either frank or practical.
later somehow an opportunity would be offered
for a citizen at least to ask correction. Some
how lately, later never comes.
Nevertheless I wrote a letter to my local
rationing board asking for an increase and
sent it along with the form application. The
board replied that the old square footage basis
of allocation was being followed this year,
despite all the national publicity to the op.
posite effect. No Increase, therefore, could be
granted to me, although my house must be
heated, as all others, on a cubic footage basis.

Swiss Treat Forced Down
U. S. Pilots Like Royalty
By THOMAS F. HAWKINS
BERN, Switzerland, Aug. 18
) Hundreds of Swiss came
from all over their tiny country
today to see two American Fly

this neutral territory and treated
the young American airmen like
distinguished guests.
The Neue Zuercher Zeltung de

"young fine appearing men."
One crew was virtually the
guests of honor in the town they
were first taken before being in

to a ball game, and toured a fac
tory. The newspapers described the
Fortresses as the "biggest planes
ever to touch Swiss soil."

the kind of prosperity that results In war bond
sales.
Those statistics quoted above are official from
the state war bond office. You can draw your
own conclusions. And you can be darned
proud of your home country, which makes Its
war bond quotas and fills the second biggest
theatre in the state where a premiere showing
of a benefit picture Is held.
Professions of Loyalty
1 1 PNlSLOYAL Japanese" are still disloyal and
U make no bones about it, according to a
statement made to newsmen in San Francisco
by Robert B. Cozxens, assistant director of the
war relocation authority.
Prior to movement of the disloyal Japanese
to the Tulelake WRA center, investigations
are being made to give those who have been
classified as disloyal to make a showing that
would change their classification. Coxzens' state
ment indicates these people haven't changed
their minds since last spring, when their re
fusal to register or otherwise professed sym
pathy for Japan put them in the "disloyal"
category.
Therefore, the vast majority of them will
move into Tulelake come September.
We have to confess a certain admiration for
these people who are openly admitting their
allegiance to 'Japan. That's being honest, at
any rate.
The people we are concerned about, and we
hope the WRA and other authorities feel the
same concern, are those who may be falsely
professing loyalty to the United States. They
will escape detention at Tulelake, and they
will be in a position to strike a b)' r for their
loved Japan.
That there are none such among the thous
ands of evacuees is too much to hope.
on the square footage of his floor space the
same allowance as a six-foot ceiling. If his
house is out in the country on a windswept
hill, square footage rules the same as in a row
house In town, where only two sides are ex
posed to the weather.
I checked my neighborhood and dealers and
could find only one person in my county who
was permitted an increase this year, although
several were cut Some few increases had
been allowed in an adjoining town in the case
of small houses, but last year's allocation has
been frozen or cut there too in general, al
though the supply of oil available here should
be much larger than last year.
i
Footage Formula Remains
THE army has been taking its oil from gulf
I ports in heavy quantities the last 60 days,
I found, from announced figures on trucks, so
that its demand on the eastern seaboard had
been lightened tremendously. Unit coupons
were restored to 10 gallons from 9 each, but
the unfair square footage formula remains.
Upon further Investigation, I was informed
by a local rationing boardman that while the
OPA put out its national publicity and filled
xne papers with promises of increases and ad
justments, its orders to the local rationing
ooaras aavisea sharper cutting this year. Ap
parently, the firel division of OPA (the most
criticized division of that much criticized admin
istration nas said one thing publicly, and done
the opposite privately, leaving the local boards
which attempts to deceive its
people is foolish enough, but a government at
tempting to deceive the people who already
me own rrom their own experience, is
beyond description in the realms of sanity.
Be Frank
wny. if officials find that less
available this winter, despite all
their pipe lines and their promises, you would
naturally expect them to say so and ask co
operation. But official deception of people by the gov
emment especially deceptions which can be so
easily detected, does more to disturb faith
than 10,000 tons of nazi or communist propa
ganda. If they are gambling on the coming winter
being lighter than last, they are also gambling
on the fundamental confidence of a democratic
people in their official news sources and the
honor and integrity of the government Itself.

Sleeplessness From Fear,
Anxiety May Be Overcome
By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS
The times are restive, and
the impact ot war on civilian
life, as well as military, is
fraught with tension and uncer
tainty, with overwork, limited
recreation, personal anxieties.
Sleep under such conditions
sometimes becomes an issue,
rather than an ordinary func
tion, whose automatic arrival
comes regularly and b e n e f !
cently.
Some people seek and find in
sleep a curious cocoon-like
wrapping, into which they can
retire at will for solace and for
getfulness even sleeping as
much as 12 hours a day, in a
sort of self-drugging stupor.
Others, however, find the god
dess as elusive as a will-o'-the-wisp,
and must woo her to con
sent to abide with them at all.
These are the ones who go in
for the 4 so-called "harmless"
sedatives officially 'difficiilt to
get, and requiring a physician's
prescription, but actually in all
too common use, with eventual
deleterious effect
SLEEP SHOULD MEAN REST
Sleep without rest is as mean
ingless as a bomb that once re
leased refuses to explode. Rest
frequently must be learned and
cultivated, and springs from a
spirit relieved of nervous
strains. Without going into the
physiology of sleep, rarely com
plicated by such phenomena as
disturbed acid-base balance, a
disorder of the internal secre
tions, or inadequacies of liver
or kidney, one can say without
hesitation that courting real
rest is for many people a prob
lem in psychology and common
sense.
Fear is without question the
primary cause of most sleep
lessness. Sometimes, . as among
people in great and constant
physical danger, like the ma
rines at Guadalcanal, the cause
of the fear is obvious and com
pletely understandable.
On the home front, where the
actual dangers filter into most
consciousnesses by way of the
imagination, the causes of fear
are often disguised and hard to
trace though none the less
real. The black things of
thoughts that fly mercilessly
through a night when sleep has
been disrupted is familiar to
nearly everyone.
Though the following morn
ing brings sanity, it also brings
great weariness, and the feeling
of "not having slept at all"
sometimes accompanied by a
terror of repeating the experi
ence, or of "losing the mind."
For these people, it is wise to
make a practice of turning on
a light and picking up a book
a book demanding close read
ing, not too entertaining. Above
all. such people should remem
ber that , nature's powers of
healing are such that when ' a
man gets physically weary
enough, he invariably falls

MISERY LOVES COMPANY
Being a gregarious animal,
man takes a great satisfaction
in sharing his emotions with
others. It is of comfort to know
that others, too, in time of war,
are undergoing the trial of fear
and to discuss the problems
or that fear with a wise and
humane friend, minister, or
physician is frequently to lay
the burden of misery on other
shoulders long enough to rest.
There is no sounder tenet of
psychology than the popular
adage that "misery loves com
pany." "Someone to talk to" Is
one of the secrets of the success
of the Confessional, and free
dom of discussion a great vir
tue of democracy.

The War
- Today
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
If you hnd to name the most
Important result of the allied
conquest of Sicily, what would
your answer be?
All things considered, It
strikes me that we may have
to award first place to a political
rather than a military outcome
the downfall ot fascism and its
creator.
Of course, the minute you
start making comparisons, you
get Involved. The collapse of tho
political "Ism" had tho effect
of rendering Italy virtually Im
potent militarily, apart from
such defense as the Germans
chose to make. Thus one might
well call It politico-military.
Cloie to Top
Still, whatever way you desig
nate It, this development must
rank close to the top among
the important events of the
global war. Fascism, and tho ex
pansive shoulders of tho doyen
of European dictators, wcro
foundation stones ot the axis at
tack on civilization. Hitler was
the arch gangster, but his for
tunes were heavily involved with
those ot his partner in crime.
The moral effect of this de
bacle has been tremendous
throughout the world. It has
convinced tho last mother's son
among the neutral and non-belligerent
nations that tho defeat
of the axis Is inevitable. It has
turned Hitler's small satellites
against him. It has given occu
pied countries courage to carry
on against the bochc.
Political Angle
Then there's another wholly
political angle. Numerous coun
tries had long been flirting with
the fascist form of government,
and some even had inaugurated
a modified form of It. Now these
countries find the props pulled
out from under them, for fascism
has been shown to be a house
built upon tho sands.
From the strictly military
standpoint the rewards of the
brilliant conquest of Sicily are
great. When this dangerous op
eration was conceived it had as
its objectlvo the reopening of tho
shipping route through the Med
iterranean. This vital thorough
far passes in the narrow channel
between Sicily and Africa, and
the big island heavily held by
tho axis dominated those
waters.
Shortcut Open
For most of the wor this route
had been closed. Supplies from
America and Britain for the mid
dle east and far east had to go
clear around South Africa In
stead of taking the short cut
through the Mediterranean. This
delayed allied operations in
many zones, tied up vest quan
tities of shipping, and gravely
threatened the security of Egypt
and the Suez canal.
Now the sillies dominate the 1
Mediterranean, and there's no
chance that Hitler ever again
will edge in on that control. He
still has a weak foothold on such
Islands as Sardinia, Corsica and
Crete, but they profit him little
because his alrforce has been all
but knocked out In the Mediter
ranean theater. ' -
All this sums up to the fact
that the western allies now are
to a considerable degreo masters
of their own Immediate fate.
That is to say, with the Mediter
ranean c'-iared, and Italy Im
potent, they have numerous op
erations from which they can
pick their next move, or move.

Legion Leads Local Forest
Fire Prevention Campaign

Committee
Klamath Falls folks have a di
rect and personal Interest In the
wartime forest fire prevention
campaign which Is being con
ducted nationally this year by
the U. S. forest service, and
sponsored locally by the Stop
Forest Fires committee ot the
American Legion.
Wood is ona of our most Im
portant war materials. It ranks
along with steel. There are over
twelve hundred military uses for
wood. We cannot afford to burn
up this vital resource, which Is
backing up our fighting men on
the battle .fronts of the world.
We need all of our manpower to
get out logs and lumber, and
loggers know that "When you're
fighting fire, you're not log
ging." If tha wartime fire prevention
campaign is going to be the suc
cess It ought to be, It must have
