MALCOLM EPLEY Managing Editor Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THIS writer has beard a lot of congratulatory remarks this morning after the announce ment at the army show that the Elks Third , s "....ssjf War Loan drive had gone over t'SS.' "t the top of the quota and was iff?. "'.'V3?i rushing on In the direction of S.- V 1.4 . n aha AAA 1 I 4 Much crcdit or achieve ment must go w t. o. nau, the general chairman for the Elks, to the other committee men and all the hundreds of Elks who have worked on the drive, but we believe they will all concur in this statement: EPLEY "The success of the Third War Loan campaign is a tribute to all the people of Klamath county. It demonstrates their patriotism, and the fundamental prosper ity of the Klamath basin. To every buyer, from the purchaser of the biggest bond to the young ster who put his few pennies into stamps, the Elks today voice their sincere appreciation." ' The writer is put in the unusual spot of having -to quote himself because he happens to be exalted ruler of the Elks lodge. That's straight from the hearts of all of us, folks. Band Hospitality SOME time ago we quoted here comment from the Medford News to the effect that Camp White soldiers on maneuvers at Bend had not found Bend hospitality to equal that in the Rogue River valley. We Indicated our skep ticism, knowing something about Central Ore gon and all east-of-the-mountains Oregon peo ple- The Bend Bulletin's blood pressure raised sev eral points when it read the quotation from Medford. The Bulletin editor tells of the tre mendous problem of handling the huge man euver visitation at Bend, and makes this further comment which we think should be passed on to our readers: "Without exception every bit of comment that we have heard on the reception given the maneuver visitors here has been favorable and filled with high praise for the job done and the spirit back of it Perhaps we were being kidded. We think not. Soldiers and officers alike have had kind things to say. Their opin ions were unsolicited and we think they were honestly given . . . "We think that these Camp White critics do not voice the opinion of the majority of soldiers who have been in Bend in recent weeks. Con trary to their assertions, Bend is accepting the soldiers with all good grace and will continue to do so." The Bulletin's comment bears out our own reaction to the Medford report. News Behind the News Br PAUL MALLOlt WASHINGTON, Sept 28 Mr. Roosevelt choice of his lend-lease administrator, Edward Stettinius, ex-big business man, to the- post of under secretary of state has been commonly interpreted as another surprising evidence, of Mr. Roosevelt's swing to conservatism in preparation, for the coming election. It looks mora like Mr. Roosevelt, and especially State Secretary Hull are getting ready for a big world-wide trade development program after the war as Derhaos the MALLOlt main them of peace. Mr. Hull's pet policy throughout his career has been International free trade. He needed and wanted a man with business experience to help along that line. The scope of coming policy in this respect has not yet been divulged. Furthermore, Stettinius is about as close to the Russians as anyone in this government, having been in charge of all the lend-lease arrangements with them. Some of the liberal groups have been complaining that insufficient attention has been paid Russia lately. Stettinius gets along well with the Russians, without having been converted to their ideology. As a business man, lend-leasor and Russian friend, he fills three practical requirements. These are sufficient basic reasons for the sur- -prise, beyond, the advertised political Implica tions. It- is true the entire series of recent presi dential appointments has followed the more conservative trend which Mr. Roosevelt estab lished back when he dropped Leon Henderson Is OPA administrator. Since then, he has set Up the judicial front composed of Byrnes, Via-' son and Jones (with Bernard Baruch as official adviser) in charge of practically all domestic planning. t He called in the Wisconsin ex-banker, Leo Crowley, already filling two important govern ment posts, to take over in addition the Wallaee Mllo Perkins economic sideshow and turn, it over to a business functioning basis without all the animal acts and reforming ballyhoo. Now he has boosted Mr. Crowley a notch higher, elevating him to control of relief and rehabilita tion, since Governor Lehman is preparing to take the bigger international role in that line, (Lehman also being a New York banker.) All these appointees may be conservative as the liberals rate them, but more important than that, they seem to represent an effort to do a practical job here rather than a political job. ... To say that Mr. Roosevelt has gone con servative, however, would be going too far, aa he still has all his old most intimate New Deal associates around, Messrs. Hopkins, Frank furter, Roseman,' Cohen, etc., and, in most gov ernment agencies, you will still find New Deal ers hidden away in key spots. To me, it seems the president has not gone anywhere politically. o o o o BEW's Weird Activity THE weird activities of agents of Vice Presi dent Wallace's former bureau of economic warfare in their search for strategic materials, are still being related. Many of his men went into the Amazon jungle area, inhabited chiefly by Indians, who do not even wear a sarong, or at least only in its most abbreviated form. An effort was made to induce them to , gather rubber. Before the project really got under way. a government shipment of 1500 sewing machines arrived in the Jungle for distribution to the Indians as an inducement to make them work. Just who sent them, or why, was not apparent to those in charge on the ground. They were not used and were sent back. Incidentally the Indiana of that area would not do the work any way and natives had to be imported from another district International Police Force T)HS internationalist group in the senate hears' ' I Mr. Roosevelt is still for the international police force. One of their number came back from the White House with that story. .- But from past statements of White House position coming out from calling senators (even off the record), it is not safe to bet much money on this one. The caller also went to the state department, but got nothing from Hull, for or against IliilllifwiJ I L S0,..,A From the Klamath Republican October 1, 1903 Clyde Huffman and Floyd Brandenberg are building a raft 14x25 feet in size for use by the Klamath Lake Navigation com pany in carrying freight between Keno and Klamath Falls. 00 I have been making the cele brated Lakeview unrfrilo tnr 14 years.

THOMAS D. MASTERS Many people women especial ly who are entering the ranks of industry for the first time in order to offset the shortage of manpower caused by the war, are also for the first time learn ing something about the debill tating effects of eyestrain. Eye strain may come from a condition m need of correction, from poor .health, or from insufficient Illu mination and it is of the last that greatest cognizance needs to be taken. Effective artificial illumination is little more than a century old. Few people read late or sewed far into the night by candle-light, and it took an Abraham Lincoln to read long by firelight. Men and women were 1n occupations that sent them to bed at night, and wakened them to work wncn the sun rose. Illiteracy was the common state of man, and ordinary tasks called for little close ' focusing. The farmer, the hunter, the house wife used long-range vision. Coal-gas, kerosene, and the elec tric light, along with the develop ment of that complex, monster modern industry, for the first time presented men in general with unnatural surroundings and close-focusing work. An eye that Is defective in re fracting light is a problem for professional advice. Faulty diet and diseased tissue as causes of eyestrain are likewise medical problems but illumination is something within the realm of everyday observation and con trol, and deserves the considera tion of workers and management alike. Early in the present century. Industrialists began to be aware that a correlation existed be tween the eyesight, the comfort, and the efficiency of output of their employes. But the physical requirements of a well-illumined environment were difficult of analysis, and variable In each new situation, so that progress; n inaustnai iigming nas Deen slow. . . ' . Theoretically, factory lighting, should provide adequate illumi nation of good quality certain ly quite possible, with the elec tric light. But that light should be diffused generally, and sup plemented where necessary with direct local illumination, at the same time eliminating, contrasts In the surrounding field, such as glaring highlights and confusing shadows. Amount distribution. diffusion, direction, steadiness and quality must all be consid ered and made right, as well as structural factors like wall color and texture. Especially with the vast, com plicated machinery ,that . makes EFFECTIVE FRIDAY, OCT. 1ST. Lee C4endricks "YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD DRUGGIST" Will Observe the Following Store Hours: Week Days Open from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. Saturdays Open from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. Sundays Open from 10 a. m. to 9 p. m. Holidays Open from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m. and 5p.m. to I 9p.m. This reduction. In hours of operation has bean mad because of th scarcity of trained employee. It fs our belief that In this way wa shall be abla to' continue serving you with tha samecourteous efficiency as in tha past. the tools of war is it necessary to maintain Illumination of high level. The toot-candle is the ac cepted measuring rod, and the best light for gross Work requires about 20 foot-candles. Very fine work requires an illumination of SO to 100 foot-candles, prefer ably Indirect. .Proper diffusion enables the eye to shift from area to area without stress, and direction should be such as to minimize glare. The human eye is the most Im portant sense organ man pos sesses,' and ' invaluable to . t h e worker himself. Well cared for, that eyesight means to the em ploy better morale and effiency, fewer accidents, better produc tion, greater accuracy in work manship and quality. To the nation, sharp eyes In Industry bring the war's end closer.

The War Today By D.WITT MACKENZIE Capture of Foggla in southern Italy great communications center and focal point of a bak er's dozen up-to-date airdromes represents one of the major tri umphs of the Mediterranean war, tor It's tlio key to vast now fields of allied endeavor. Possession of Fougla will per mit us to unleash a fresh turunda of bombing and fighting pianos. First off, it should greatly ex pedite the conquc.it of tho Italian peninsula, ' for it will go for toward brcuking the back bf Ger man resislunco there. An curly development should bo niui evac uation of the holly contested Naples region. But our gun-slghta can be reused to much mora distant hor iions. From Foggla we can reach Into Germany to vital editors which heretofore have been dif ficult to bomb. Block-Busteri The Russians have broached a new operation which may be a block-buster. That's up on the Leningrad end of their flaming front. Do you remember that night a couple of years ago when Hitler In one of his bombastic speeches defied the United States, dared Britain to Invude France and, as a special mark of his prowess, proclaimed that Leningrad "is surrounded and no one will free It again and it will fall into our hands? That was the time when this birthplace of the red revolution was being defended not only by Russian soldiery but by Its cit izens men and women, young and old. It was a winter of hor ror, of violent death and tho slow torture of starvation and bitter cold, but still they clung to their city.. Somehow the. lilt lorlan ring was pushed back until Leningrad no longer was isolat ed, though the invaders have con tinued to hold their line not far from the southern side of the city. Pay-Olf Operation Well, the Russians now as part line. Now If tho Muscovites have tho reservo strongth to dovelop mis movement, it will cut off the Hitlerites In thut whole nortlv ern zona which has Its apex In Leningrad, it also will place Fin. lund In a most uncomfortable position of rcgrlgoratod Isolation. Or course this drivo Is in Its Infancy, and predictions tlimo fore aro strictly out of order. It may or may not come off. How' ever, Its danger already has been recognized by Berlin, for a little one-line news dispatch irom London reports that Hlmm. ler the hangman, Hitler's gostapo chief, has -arrived In Latvia. Himmler rushes whore trouble threatens, and a black cloud of it is moving toward Latvia from lim east. FRANKNESS IN tin TS ADVOCATED 21) war .

Senator Henry Cabot Lodgo, Jr., (R Mnss.) suld in an exclusive Interview after war front visits where "I saw the reaction of our fighting men to habitually optimistic news reports." He will report lo congress that "our fighting men are mad because of the false optimism of our news." "It's a goneral condition of our news reporting, our com muniques, our radio comments tors and our desk writers," ho said. He noted that censors perhaps overlook the fact that, unlike the last war. the news they cen sor gets back by radio within 24 hours to the men who make PENNY BOND DRIVE NETS S42 MILLION The J. C.
