Wo received a letter this

officers In our armed forces
think . regarding sending cig

"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.
"Again, a sincere thanks for
every man who will benefit

Friday, September 10, we wijl
have four wounded men from
Lettorman's hospital, four from
the U. S. Naval hospital at
More Island, and four from
Barnes' hospital at Vancouver,
Wash. This will be the first

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:

We were pleased to have
Luthor Sanders, AMM 1c from
Bonanza, visit tho Commando
center. 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.

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.

help to make it hot for Germany
