"On behalf of those defend ing the American way of life, we wish to thank you for your contribution which will be deeply appreciated by men overseas. This expression of loyalty will help muke life a Utile easier for fighting Amer icans In far-off corners of the world protecting our sea fron tiers, and will serve as evidence that their daily sacrifices oro not going unheeded.

We received a splendid letter of appreciation from an Aus trallan soldier who was ill at the Isolation hospital here ' re cently. His-letter was written from Manitoba, Canada, on Au gust 16, 1043. This is his letter written to the Commandos: "Dear Secretary: "A note to thank you on be half of the way the Commandos seut mo cigarettes and reading matter whllo I vas in tha Iso lation hospital. My stay in Klamath Falls (although I was In tho hospital) will always be a very happy memory, and I could never say too much for the way in which I was looked after out there by Mrs. Millar and Mrs. Grimes.

Young Sanders was overseas for 12',j months and saw action in the South Pa cific. We are always proud to have our local service men make their headquarters at the Center while home on furlough. In last week's "News of the Commandos" we stated wo would appreciate donations of cream, butter, eggs, etc. The re sponse was most gratifying. W. J. Williams brougnt In five doz en eggs; Mr. and Mr. Fellon, cigarette (we use these at the food counter); Mrs. Bishop, one quart of cream and butter. Oilier donations were received but we failed to obtain the names. There are 'so many dif ferent ones on duty at the Cen ter; we get busy, and, should your name be omitted, please know tho gift is appreciated. Saturday night we had a four-piece orchestra for a dance in the Center for all visiting service men. Beck's Bakery sent the Commandos a huge- beauti ful cake. We put the cake on a table in the Center. Left It there on display until we served II with Ice cream at 11 o'clock. A great many of our guests Inst Saturday were from Fort Lewis, and some from maneuv ers around Bend. These men were . all appreciative of the hospitality shown them by the Klamath Falls people and at the Center. They Just couldn't understand we served coffee, sandwiches, 'cake and cookies without charge. One young soldier from New York said, "You people here treat us so fine it is making me homesick." Another soldier irom New Jersey, praising the west and the people, said, "You would be surprised how many soldiers from the cast coast are going to come back to the west to live. We love it here!" The women from the Luth eran church furnished the cook ies at the Center for August. At this time we would like to thank the Lutheran women for the delicious cookies they brought each week. Sunday morning we saw an unusual sight in the Center. Lanny Ward, visiting wounded sailor, served coffee and dough nuts to the soldiers. Lanny was wounded on his submarine and was a guest from the U. S. Naval hospital with the last group of wounded men. He re turned to the hospital, and two weeks later returned here on leave. We are always pleased when the wounded men brought here return to visit us. 803,000 LIGHT YEARS Light from the great nebula Andromeda must travel 803,000 years to reach the earth's tele scopes.

CMEEHFULAS ITS NAME" BRAND 90.4 Proof TO 60 ON RATION WASHINGTON. Sept. 1 (VP) Dried and dehydrated prunes and raisins will go back under rationing September 8 with a value of 4 points a pound. The office of price administra tion (OPA) announced at the same time today that other dried or dehydrated fruits will con tinue to sell point free, but con sumers won't get much because the bulk of the production will go to the armed forces and lend- lease. The amount of 1943-crop prunes and raisins available for rale under rationing was esti mated by OPA at more than 90 per cent of an average year's civilian consumption before ra tioning. All dried fruits were removed from ration controls on April 27 because stocks were in danger of warm weather spoilage. This was particularly true of figs and dates, and despite the approach of cooler weather, OPA has de cided these fruits are too perish able to be rationed even now. "On the other hand. It has been decided to ration dried prunes and raisins once again," the an nouncement said, "because tho proposed allocation of the 1943 pack for civilian use Is less than the anticipated demand." Shuttle Bombina Of Japs Hangs On Supply Problem SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1 (ff) The problem of supplying bases in China and the Aleutians is the only major problem to be solved before a U. S. shuttle trip bombing of Japan will be possible, says Lieut. Gen. John L. DeWitt. Speaking at a press conference yesterday, his first since he re turned from a visit to the Aleu tian Islands, the commander of the western defense command and fourth army said the United States now has airfields as close to the Mikado's home islands as was the aircraft carrier Hornet when the "Shangri-la" bombing of Tokyo was launched.
