" FRANK JENKINS ... ', . , BdUot Today's Roundup The Road M"tin -TO GET BACK to the ro Br MALCOLM EPLEV ALL TOO OFTEN, Klamath's important vis itors fail to see the great, productive irrigated farming area that is back of this town. They rou in nere over onu of the routes that misses or only skirts that area, spend their time in town, and go on their way without observ ing first hand the crop farm- i J.alnnmanl that farm ij an essential part of any NrTl complete picture of Klam- I V'btVI I th s economic background. I JvviJ We have m mind of tmi i course. the members of the EPLEY state highway commissions party which visited here Friday. We have no doubt that Klamath's member on the commission, Arthur Schaupp, has given his colleagues a good word picture of what we have down here. But it was unfortunate that Com missioners Banfield and Chessman, and the members of the engineer group accompanying them, did not take the time to see the farm country south of here. This commission may well make decisions of vital importance to the destiny of the Klam ath country. We enjoy, of course, a position on through routes that makes further highway de velopment virtually inevitable, and we assume these men of broad knowledge are generally acquainted with the local economic development that will require increasingly effective highway services. But w have had enough experience with visitors from Western Oregon to know that this farming development, seen for the first time and particularly at this season of the year, sur prises and deeply impresses them. Despite the railroad and highway develop ment of the last 20 years that brought Klamath Falls, at last "into Oregon," there is still in Western- Oregon a surprising lack of informa tion .about the country down here. It exists even among the leaders in public affairs, busi ness and industry. There is no better way to inform these people than to show them what is going on first-hand. It is unfortunate the highway commission trip was not planned so these men could spend at least a few hours in a quick glimpse of the farming activity from here to the southern limits of the Klamath basin in Northern California. . ........ We. do not want to appear here to be over- . looking our lumbering industry. But its extent ' and activity are far better known throughout Oregon than Is our agricultural development. ,. . Two Journeys WHAT is -going on agriculturally is not even too well known among our own people. This writer got some surprises on two recent trips he made through the farming country piloted by B. E. Hayden, superintendent of the Klamath reclamation project. These journeys covered, primarily, the farm ing program on government-owned leased lands on Lower Klamath and Tule lakes, where great sweeping " fields of grain are now ready for harvest. We saw enough on Lower Klamath lake- to dispose of, once and for all, any lingering im pression that it was a mistake to attempt the agricultural development of that area. The draining of Lower Klamath was long given national publicity as a "horrible" example of reclamation that didn't work. It didn't work too well "for a while, but as more was learned about the soil and proper farming methods there, alert and progressive farmers began to make it produce in a big way. Go down there now, and you will see land that was once questioned as good pasture producing outstanding yields of grain. Barley fields that will go 35 sacks to the acre, and oats fields that will yield more than 100 bushels, were on our itinerary. We will have more to say about Lower Klam ath soon. It is moving more prominently into the Klamath country's agricultural picture. This week we toured the leased land on Tule lake, where the harvest is well underway. We stood in barley fields of thousands of acres where -whole fleets of combines are working. We saw a mobile chopper following the com bines picking up the straw for the big stock feeding operation at Malin. We saw fine fields of onions and sugar beets. This was only the leased land side of the agricultural program down there. We would like to have had Oregon's highway commis aioners along with us on those trips, and with us on others we hope to take covering the more extensive, and more diversified, private land farm operations when the potato harvest starts. It's a great country. WAR KITCHEN VICTORY GARDEN SHOULD YIELD HEALTH SALADS By GAYNOR MADDOX Use your victory garden vege tables in salad with citrus fruits for lively eating and bountiful health.

VMOr af Avon Buuav Or CmcsuTtoir SiprMMlOtt KaUoBBlt by WttT-HoLUMT Co, Inc. Bu PmmoImo, Xi York, h. Bttla, Chic to, Portland, L04 AbiIn MALCOLM EPLEY Mmaflng Editor TO GET BACK to the road meeting Itself here Friday night, we felt that Klamath's pro gram was effectively presented and we believe there is every reason to expect results when the dam is opened on highway development after the war ends. There is some tendency, at such meetings, to stick pretty closely to separate specific projects and to assume that the highway commissioners know the broad general picture of Klamath's place in the state and coastwlde highway sys tems. But we do not believe any opportunities should be missed to call that broad picture to the attention of the highway authorities and the general public . Advertising Roundup Br DELBERT ADDISON THERE are certain words we use that have a good ring to them, no matter how kicked around for generations. ADDISON j7 pitiful object and a so-and-so to boot. The volunteer is the hero, right enough, and the government was smart enough to choose the volunteer Minuteman as the symbol for tak ing our money away from us in the form of War Bonds. Your Conscience Only GETTING down to case the biggest volun teer program the country ever attempted will get underway soon. It is the Third War Loan; " As M. L. Johnson stated in his bond ad the other day, "Buying war bonds, like getting up in the morning or seeing your barber or your dentist is between a man and his own con science." Aa far as any regulation to MAKE you buy bonds is concerned, it's as free as the sunshine taxes).. And the people who actually put over the bond drives work at it entirely voluntarily, and hard because that's the way it is. The advertising (now we're getting down to brass tacks) that carries the bond message to is voluntary. Ready THE TREASURY, of course, puts the pressure I on newspapers to get the advertising sold, and furnishes advertising material. But it's pub lic spirited citizens, the same ones that carry the drive in each community, who actually are responsible for the ads belpg run. . The best advertising material available to on the Third War Loan, is vol untarily sent out by the big Portland adver-tisers,- and is bought by papers from their regular advertising services. Portland concern already have made avail able 41 complete ads on the Third War Loan. Meyer-Both, from whom we get most of our ad material, has produced nine pages on the drive. The material is ready, the goal is set. Now it's up to those of us right down home on the firing line. With all papers working short-handed on their advertising staffs,, don't feel hurt if you're not called on. There's no law against volunteering. Golden West Bock TO DRAG in the word, voluntary, once more, note how it crops up in the return of coffee advertising to newspapers. The winsome Golden West GJrl advises in her ad, "Let every other pound of Golden West Coffee you buy, be the emergency package." Golden West explains that tin has "gone to war," that there are severe restrictions on the use of glass, that part of the Golden West coffee will go into a glassine-Uned bag. By asking in a nice way that you voluntarily take every other pound in the emergency pack age, they'll probably get the job done. They could, of course, put some kind of regulation Into effect, and still get the Job done, but we couldn't help being about half mad at having it shoved down our necks. - Vitamin Salad Alternate orange and tomato slices.

MASTERS Of all the voluntary services open to women in the war emergency, that of nurses' aid is probably the most directly practical. The need of the arm ed forces for trained nurses is enormous and has not yet been filled. The U. S. Public Health Service has taken great num bers of nurses likewise to work in newly established, mushroom defense communities. Local communities and reputable, ac tive hospitals are thrown upon each other, to sink or swim. Help outside tho nursing profes sion has been needed desperate ly and, fortunately, has been forthcoming. Hospitals and doc tors alike call for more nurses' aides. The OCD and the Red Cross have combined forces in re cruiting and' training nurses aides. A course of study is given these volunteers, which amounts to 80 hours, with subject mat ter to cover defense problems. The whole course takes seven weeks'. In addition, each nurses' aide must take the standard Red Cross first aid course in her first year of service. DUTIES EXPLAINED The nurses' aide is exactly what the title implies. She does not replace the nurse, but as sists her, and though she lacks the professional training to work independently, she can do many things requiring strength and skill, such as ordering the patients' surroundings, helping with equipment and supplies, and generally improving the Italians Give Blood for Wounded Allied Soldiers By EDWARD KENNEDY ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, Aug. 28 VP) A large number of Italians are giving blood for wounded allied soldiers. All are volunteers and receive the usual price of $10 for a pint of blood donated. So far such blood has been used only by the British medical services. The American medical units receive blood here from non - combatant ' troops, conval escent and slightly wounded sol diers and other volunteers. "Live blood." as distinguished from powdered blood or plasma, is required in many of the more serious cases of wounds but be cause of the difficulty in pre serving it under wartime condi tions it is usually obtained from persons not too far distant and Parcels to War Prisoners Must Be Mailed Immediately The postmaster is ln receipt of the following Instructions with respect to the mailing of parcels for prisoners of war and civilian internees in the Philip pines and elsewhere in the far east, to be sent by the exchange ship Gripsholm, expected to sail about September 18, 1043. . The sailing of the Gripsholm has been advanced to about Sep tember 1, 1943. On account of such advance, the provost marshal general's office is in structing the next of kin of the prisoners and Internees to mail their parcels at once. In these circumstances postmasters will send the parcels to New York by the first available dispatch after mailing. . - However, late 'parcels will continue to be sent if in time to reach New York by about Sep tember 3 and the mailers desyre iust hannens to work overtima I comfort and morale of the pa tients. Officially, her duties cov er making beds, bathing pa tients, getting thorn ready for meals, feeding the helpless, as sisting patients to and from ex amination rooms, and even helping with certain surgical dressings where infection is not probable. Tact, good humor, and sympathy are invaluable equip, ment for the successful nurses' aide. COMPLIMENTS VOLUNTEERS Volunteers have been eml- nently satisfactory. The women who have the leisure to under take the task are for the most part of good education, intelli gence, and sensibility, who adapt themselves quickly to new situations, and do their, work both faithfully and welT. The job of being a nurses 'aide Is not an easy one, and requires both stamina and self-sacrifice. The pretty blue and white unl- form is hard-earned. Hospitals arc Jammed with sick people as iney nave never been before. Instead of the house-call, more and more doctors are being forced, for lack of time, to use the hospital for examination, as a sensible shortcut to proper treatment. More people feel able to pay for hospitalization than ln depression times, and are availing themselves of the opportunity to seek medical at tention. The nurses' aide must work long and hard, in confus ion, In crowds, and in dtscom fort, but her reward Is great She is truly useful and needed. kept In bottles until used. Plasma, however, is easily preserved and most of the plas ma used here comes from Amer ica and England. Its use In the Sicilian campaign was more ex. tensive than ever before in this theater and hundreds of men liv- ing today would not be alive if they had not been given it, medi cal officers say. "Medical troops In Sicily could not have functioned without blood plasma," Col. Edward D. Churchill of Boston, of the med ical corps, said. . Maj. William W. Brothers of Pocatello, Ida., said almost 100 men wounded and cut off by the enemy on a hill outside San Fratello were sustained by plas ma for two days. to take a chance on the safe con duct of the vessel being delayed. Secret Service Man Gets DFC ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, Aug. 28 VP) Staff Sgt. Benjamin F. Warner, former secret service guard assigned to the treasury department, has been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for the - unprecedented feat of shooting down seven axis planes on a single Flying Fortress mis sion over Berdlnl, Sicily, on July 5. If you are driving your auto mobile seldom nowadays, have the crankcase drained - and re filled at least four to six times a year. ' i The War Today Br DeWITT MacKENZIE By DeWITT MacKENZIE The extraordinary enthusiasm being exhibited by the allied nations over the appointment of Lord Louis Mounbatten as su preme commander for southeast Asia is at once a tribute of con fidence In his leadership and an expression of relief that, as the Chinese put it, "Measures planned for the destruction of Japan are being Implemented.1 Specifically, the designation of this 43-year-old expert in combined operations invasions involving land, sea and air forces is taken generally to mean that at long last tho allies are getting set to invado Burma from India, across the Bay of Bengal. Since Americas com bined forces are on the offen sive in the southwest Pacific, one envisages the application ol a pincers movement ulti mately on the Nipponese one from the west and the other from the east. Chinese Elation Small wonder that the Chi nese are elated at tho prospect or reopening the Burma road to restore tholr -lifeline, to the outside world. They were ter ribly disappointed that the op eration wasn't carried out last winter, as I learned on my visit to Chungking the first of this year. The Chinese are in dire neod of supplies of every description both mllltury and civilian. It's one of the world s wonders that they've been able to hang on so long. It would be dangerous to bank on their ability to con tinue indefinitely without the major assistance which can be supplanted only by the reopen Ing of tho Burmese back door. Land invasion Readers often auk why the allies have to invade Burma by sea why the invasion can't ,be carried out from India by land. The mountainous nature of tho terrain, and the heart-breaking jungles, along the Indo-Burmese border preclude big scale mill. tary operations. There are places where small contingents of troops can operate on the coast, for instance, and up north where a military road cuts through the mountains at Imphal but the main attack must be amphibious, supported by air. The youthful new commander for southeast Asia has,' In his always vigorous way, flung his six-feet-four of hard muscle into his new job with a rush. That's good to see, but we shouldn't conclude from the announce ments and the preparations that an Invasion of .Burma Is going to take place next week, or next month. The monsoon deluge, which since April has been flooding Burma, won't be over until Oc tober. Penalties Imposed By Detroit OPA DETROIT, Aug. 28 VP) The office of price administration yesterday imposed penalties against nine persons it accused of violating price regulations, in one Instance revoking a family's war ration books until Decern ber 31, 1944. Frederic S. Glover Jr., of Cleveland, OPA regional hear ing commissioner, assessed the most severe penalty against Mrs. A. D. Wilkinson of subur ban Grosse Pointe, one of a group of socially prominent per sons accused of making illegal purchases. Prodigal Returns- After Six Years NEW YORK, Aug. 28 VP) Junior, a Spitz dog belonging to Mr. snd Mrs. Albert Weinstein of Brooklyn, found his way home after six and one-half years of wandering. A stranger whistled to tho doe in February, 1937, and he leaped into a car and was whisked away. Mrs. weinstein said she saw the prodigal canine stop ln front of their home recently, sniff the ground and limp meekly up the front steps. Southern Oregon Golf Championships To Be at Medford MEDFORD, Aug. 28 VP) The southern Oregon golf champion ships will be played here Sep tember 3-6 over the Rogue Val ley Country club course. Defending Champion Eddie Simmons-has announced that he will not enter the tournament this year. The entry list is ex pected to be heavy with players now stationed at Camp White. It's a lot better to be given a nasty look than have one. TRUCKS FOR RENT You Drive Move.

WMC Works Out Terms to Use War Prisoner Labor t By CHARLES MOLONY WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 lP) Terms for increased uo of the one growing supply of labor-- prisoners of wur for non-war Jobs have been worked out by the war department and the war manpower commission (WMC), with the stipulation that the reservoir may be tapped only where efforts to recruit other labor prove unavailing. With a mounting number of requests for prisoner lobor in lumber cutting, pulp and paper Industry work and farming, it was suggested authoritatively that many prisoners could per form these Jobs. The army has reported there are around 100,- 000 prisoners In this country. Hitherto, the war department has contracted directly with em ployers In a relatively few cases . for the service of prisoners, but! the new agreement is expected to expedite hiring arrangements and fit them more closely Into the picture of general labor needs.
