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. . .

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

representatives," who are the war bond
leaders of larger employe groups, it was gratify

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.

. 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.

Carlyle's plaint is common to

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

Farm Experiments
Discussed at Land
Use Group Meetino
Land use committee of the
Klamath county chamber of com
merce discussed proposed expan
sion ot the agricultural experi
mentation program here at a
ueotlng held at tho Pelican cute
Friday evening. 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.
The experimental expansion
project has developed out of dis
cussions y the county economic
planning committee and other
groups. It was warmly favored
by the land use committee.
The committee also went on
record as favoring the proposed
