Membar Audit Bureau Circulation local CIO organizations to lend every effort to the Fifth War Loan drive. We mention it, because Just prior to the meeting we hod. happened to look through the June 5 issue of the national edition, of the CIO - News, a weekly publication, and found therein . not one single word about Avar bonds, . Perhaps it Just happened that bond news and - bond purchasing stimulation was left out of the CIO News that time, but it. was nevertheless conspicuous by its absence in tho last Issue . before the opening of the Fifth- War Loan cam paign. Local. CIOs, apparently, are not for getting the bond "program, ' even though It Is ignored by the CIO News. . . Today's Roundup :S Advertising Roundup i 1 a ' ft tC C 1 ! if . w r w Bv MALCOLM EPLEY ONE of the reasons Klamath county's war bond campaigns have been consistently successful is that tho people in charge always come up with a good mes, u j stimulate local iniercsi u j make the patriotic value oi t bond-buvins more real. i Possibly the bond quotas t would be reached without Wyvu.u. ' - ' ath people have become habit- J ual and consistent bond-buy- f ers, ana me Daciuog ui sav ings these bonds represent promise much for the future welfare of our citizens. The value ot the loan to the nation. EPLEY In financing a great war, and the personal benefits of savings in these times of plentiful money, form the solid foundation of bond-buying that needs not be again "sold" to Klamath people. However, the United States treasury depart ment has chosen to designate certain periods for concentrated bond buying. : Making these -periods stand out locally, in order that special quotas' may be reached, is the purpose- of de veloping particular themes for bond campaigns. . , Barracks Theme : THAT theme, for the Fifth War Loan, is pro vided by the Klamath Falls Marine Bar racks. It happens that the quota assigned to this county for the Fifth War Loan is approximately: the cost of the Marine Barracks, a new installa tion that performs a vital service in the nation's war program. It is an interesting local develop- ; ment that is also an economic factor of no mean proportions, in the life of the community.- Heretofore, when bond campaigns were slant ed at the purchase of something for the war effort it was always something to be- used' in -some distant war theater ships, planes, .etc. r but this time we will "buy" something that is, right here and which all bond-buyers can see . with their own eyes. v i'"Buy the Barracks with' Bonds' Is a good slogan, and add to it this trailer: "Back, the Men Back From the Pacific." ' Klamath county can and will lend the gov ernment the cost of this fine local installation ai the Fifth War Loan campaign. ' . - Absurdities IX IS time for revision of some of the' news restrictions that were imposed early in the war but are no longer necessary or 'sensible. For instance, we are still faced with one little absurdity that never did make much sense.-This newspaper has been informed that when it runs draft lists, it should not give, in the lead, the number of men called. The "enemy" who might be interested, of course, can count the number of names, and there is therefore no sound reason for not telling in the news the number of men called. But the request to us has never been cancelled. -Up at Bend, everybody in town knew for a week or two at least that Camp Abbot was to be "de-activated." Despite this common knowledge, the Bend Bulletin, under the cen sorship code, could not tell the news, and was forced to explain the situation to its readers, tome of whom apparently got the idea the paper wasn't on its toes. We weren't close enough to be sure this happened, but possibly thai Bulletin was finally "scooped" on the story by one of the Portland papers because the Bulletin was sticking conscientiously to -the voluntary code. ... . This situation, most unfair to our patriotic neighbor, aptly illustrates the need for revising -restrictions to permit use of news that cannot " possibly do any harm to the war effort ' Not In the Paper AT meeting this week of local "treasury representatives," who are the war bond leaders of larger employe groups, it was gratify ing to hear a report of the intention of the By A. D. ADDISON MONDAY Took an ad from Fred Heilbron ner urging people to fill their coal bins to capacity now, as the coal situation Is better now than can be expected by fall. Mrs. Hctlbronner also gave us a government bulletin explaining coal - conditions, with the suggestion thirl a story quoting it might be taken to heart quicker than the. word of a coal dealer. I don't know ' any' better word than that of the coal dealer, who will have to look you in the eye and say sorry, when the coal runs out. ADDISON D-Day Help TUESDAY D-Day! In tho height of dcad - line flurry on this historic day, I had the extreme pleasure of removing a nice fat tick from Mac Epley's left aVm. The operation was successfully completed by applying spirits of ' ammonia, and then deftly unscrewing the beast with a counter-clockwise movement. He came out kicking, head and all. I'm always glad to help out the editorial staff in an emergency.1 ' ' . . ' ... , WEDNESDAY The thought comes to mind how history repeats itself . . . the false armistice before the real end of the last war; : the false invasion flash Just before real D-Day. . About: 400' extra D-Day papers were sold yesterday.' The radio has provided something better than newspaper extras, so the country paper's job is to get out the complete story at regular edition, time. On Pearl Harbor day, : Sunday, when there was no regular edition, about 2000 extras were sold. a a a a . Speeding Up Advertising THURSDAY Frank. Jenkins back from the - annual Pacific Coast meeting of the Bureau of Advertising. He was on the program to lead a discussion of photographic transmission of advertising.- - This proposal entails the transmis- sion of complete ads by electric impulse the same way invasion pictures are flashed from Normandy. . Possibilities for speeding up and bettering . newspaper service in this way took hold with the publishers, and a committee-was appointed to study it. . .' ' . ' FRIDAY A good part, of this day spent on War Loan advertising. - If this loan doesn't go over it won't be because people don't know . about it. Joe Hick's workers are getting the whole program under way with effective en thusiasm. When War Bond advertising first started It meant filling up some of the advertising losses in this paper. Now it means for each War Bond ad there won't be an ad on something else. We're running to newsprint capacity. , . Black Market For Cars SATURDAY The AP carried a story today that the OPA has rolled back used car prices to January levels. The first reaction is, . "Fine. About time ' car prices were brought down." ; ..'..':...,. . ' Unhappily it won't work that way.. It will . push all car transactions into the so-called black market, because all car sales start with indi viduals. An individual selling a car will take the highest offer. There has been a ceiling on use"d trucks for the past year, a Since then only about 1 of truck sales have gone through legitimate dealer hands, prices have sky-rocketed, and many a hard working trucker has been stung. You have no comeback when you. get stung in the black market. The doings of the mighty are strange and wonderful-r-with the accent on strange. Pi BACK LOAIV DRIVE -The J. C. Penney Company Associates are going all-out on the Fifth War l,nan nv-ArHino to plans revealed today by Sid Elliot, Penney manager. The Penney Associate group is. engaged in a nation-wide bond selling contest during the drive, and the local store group already has started inter-store competition. A large bond booth will be ready for business on the Pen ney main floor Monday, with an attendant on duty from 12 noon until 5 p. m. daily to take bond orders. A private telephone will be Installed in the booth so that persons wishing to order their bonds by phone may do so. The Penney bond attendant also will make deliveries of bonds when customers wish. "With over 6000 Penney As sociates in the armed services, we are putting our greatest ef forts to bond selling during the Fifth War Loan," Elliot said. "We are turning our best mer chandising service to the sell ing of bonds, and will be glad to take your order." Penney Associates already have gone 100 per cent on in dividual purchases for the Fifth War Loan. ' ..

Study of Celestial Bodies Fascinating as a Hobby LEARNING THE STARS By J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer Oregon General Ex tension Division. U. oi O. Carlyle once asked, "Why did not somebody tench me the con stellations and make me at home in the starry heavens which are always overhead and which I do not half know to this day? Carlyle's plaint is common to many, especially to those in mid dle life or older years. However, many of these believe that to en joy the stars they must know so much that the time and effort re quired is far beyond them. But ono does not have to be an ex pert botanist to enjoy the beauty and fragrance of flowers; nor an accomplished musician to find delight in the melodies ot the masters. The simplest acquaint ance witn tne starry skies brings immediate satisfaction to the one who is attuned to such compan ionship. Many who are Interested state they have no idea how to start such study. By far tho simplest introduction is through a friend HISTORIAN COITEST A design by Geneva Glenn Duncan has placed first in a recent contest sponsored by the Klamath County Historical so ciety. The design is to be used as an emblem for the society. The emblem, as designed by Mrs. Duncan, symbolizes the In dian and the1 pioneer by a crossed gun and arrow- and a pelican gives a distinguishing characteristic ,of Klamath coun ty. .- , Mrs. Duncan Is a teacher at Henley -school and comes from a pioneer family of this county. She is deeply Interested in the history of this community and is a former secretary of the Pioneer association. A clever and original design submitted by .Suzanne Geary of North Eighth street received honorable mention in the em blem contest. The Klamath County Historical society wishes to thank all those who submit ted ideas and designs. Germans Find "Knuckle Dusters" LONDON, June 10 W) Ber lin radio said today that "knuckle dusters" such as are used by American gangsters were found In the full fighting kit of captured British and U.

Technically supposed to have returned to base for more troops and supply-carrying assignments, the pilots were caught up in the swirl of battle and fought along side troops they had landed. Of 200 nazi parachutists who landed in an anti-invasion at tack, 13 were taken prisoner. The remainder' were killed by American paratroopers. DANCE Saturday Nite DANCELAND (Formerly Skateland1 81S Klamath Musie by . Pappy Gordon's Oregon Hill Billies Sponsored by Veterans of Foreign Wars who knows something about the celestial objects and Is willing to help others. To have a certain star, planet or constellation ac tually pointed out makes It much easier than any other way. The great majority do not have such help, and have to depend upon star maps and books. And they often get discouraged at the very start for they seem to find no outlines of star groups in the heavens which even resemble the diagrams on the maps. This troublo disappears when the use of the maps Is learned. The principal fault with most star maps is that attempts arc made to depict on a flat sheet of paper the scene which to us ap pears to be engraved on the In side of the blue hemispherical dome of the skies. There is al ways great distortion In such dia grams, and dis'Kuragement Is to be expected. . . A few years ago two of tho as tronomers at the Fels plunetar um in Philadelphia devised a set of ingenious star maps which greatly simplify matters.- Each map there is one for every month Is arranged in the shape of a Maltese cross. The effect Is the same as that obtained by slit ting the apparent dome of the heavens at four equally divided positions, extending these cuts from the horizon almost to the zenith, then flattening the entire hemisphere onto a nlane surfarn These 12 splendid maps tc- gemer wun ii large pages of very informative reading matter bound into an attractive booklet are sold for only 60 cents post- The present writer has 'no-fi nancial Interest whatsoever In this booklet, but has hlehlv rrc ommended it for the past two years, ne win oe very glad to In form anyone where a copy may be obtained if a self addressed posiai lor reply is Inclosed with the letter of inquiry.

It was the first meeting of the new committee and a number of Important mat ters rotating to the development of Klamath builn lands wore carefully considered. It was brought out at the meeting that a movement Is on foot to Increase the scope of the Klamath agricultural experimen tal area, now set up In tho airport district on a restricted basis. Klamath Budget Klamath county court and budget committee nave put $10, 000 In the next year's budget for use In expanding the experimen tal activities, and It Is planned to ask the state agricultural college to give the establishment here the status of a full branch expert mental station. A proposed step Is to obtain money by public contributions to purchase additional land for ex perimental uses. Most of the ex perimental work now Is being done on Class 8 land, but It Is now proposed to obtain a plot of Class 1 land and a plot of marsh land for further experimentation. Bring Up Lew Grades It was emphasized In the dis cussion that, agriculture In the basin can be greatly benefited by bringing up the status of the lower grade lands, and projects of that type which have succeed ed were cited as proof of the pos sibilities In such a program.
