Here are a number of inter esting suggestions, and where as not everyone may agree with the tone of the letter, it is! a good thing for the public td develop constructive ideas oh things that can be done to make this a better, more at tractive community. For that reason,' letters of this nature ara especially wel rame. (Let it be noted that this letter was signed. W have been having a rash of unsigned letters, recently, and these under the rule do not make the page.) It is opiy through real public interest in an im provement program that projects can be started and brought to completion. (This column, for one, is not in agreement With the idea that public officialdom here is lax or unprogressive. The. Improvements that have been brought about here in the last decade contradict that opinion, as does official leader ship in the direction of pre-financing and plan ning for extensive development for the future. , a Newcomer's View THE last year has seen a quite heavy influx , of newcomers to Klamath Falls, and this writer has been interested in the reaction to the town Indicated by those of these new people With whom he has come in contact, tin general, we would say it is favorable. They like the people, they like the spirit of hospitality and friendliness that prevails here, and they approve of many things about th physical lay-out of the community. One of them remarked: "It's a good town. When more of the rough edges are taken off, it will be a better town. We like a place that looks for ward to being a better place." That's the idea. There are many things to be done to make this still more attractive horns and family city, and every showing of public interest In attaining that objective is wholesome and worth while. a a a a . Auditorium ALONG that line, we note that one of the needs mentioned in connection with the high school special levy, to be voted on Monday, Is a more adequate auditorium for the high school and the community. , The present auditorium at the school will not accommodate the student body, and "double as semblies" have long been necessary to permit all1 youngsters to participate in special pro grams. Likewise, there is no adequate public auditorium for community use here, compar able to the outdoor amphitheatre provided by Modoc field. i Some years ago there grew up quite a move ment In cities both large and small for public auditorium construction. We visited one town in the middle west which had a most elaborate auditorium of this type, but it was not a school auditorium,' and it was used about three or four 3mes a year. , If KUHS develops an adequate auditorium, as suggested by Superintendent . Arnold Gralapp ' it connection with the special levy, it will be efficiently used by the school and by the com munity in general. It is a public Improvement that should mean much to our community in the future. , .: . . . Suburban Sanitation FE matter of sewage facilities In the suburbs, mentioned by our correspondent today, is one that has long been discussed with a good deal of concern here, and it certainly has not escaped the attention of public health author itieg. We understand that the special committee Which examined flood damage in the South Sixth suburban ' area a few weeks ago was highly critical of the private, sewage disposal methods in use there. I One public vote on sanitary sewage for the suburbs failed few years ago, That was due, we believe, to Improper public presentation of file project. There is a need of course, for interest in such a program on the part of the residents and property owners of the suburbs themselves, and we anticipate that this problem will be worked out in the not-too-distant future. Barracks Road STAYING on the same line, let 'us talk just a bit about the road between town and the Marine Barracks. A military friend of ours, who recently visited the Barracks for the first time, called the roadside appearance of th Old Fort route as "depressing." We anticipate that public property involved in that appearance will bo properly taken care of, but a problem remains as concerns certain pri vate property there. If those people who own or control the offending ' property will examine it from the standpoint of community Interest, and tnko the proper steps to correct the problem, wo believe they will be well repaid in self-satisfaction and public appreciation, which we cer tainly will seek to express here. News Behind ihe News By PAUL MALLON MSH1NGTON, Juno S3 Morale of the 5 -J T A. YY nail fighters encountered in Franco is mixed. There were some crack units of the young and fervid Hitlerites, but interspersed with these were oiaer men and many alltn units. These units of non-nazl for eigners to Germany included a few ardent fascists from all the countries of Europe, but most were either fighting for the money or were pressed into service. As a whole, they were definitely third rate. This is of highest import ance because the war now has become a taut rubber band. It is being constantly stretched MALLON farther and farther. It is impossible to say exactly when and where it will break, yet the break certainly will be forced by the impetus of weakening morale. And it Is at. least clear now nail fighting power is no more than a patchwork. This measure also gives the over-all picture of the battle. Only at certain points was the conflict tough, but at these points, our casualties were heavy. The Germans offered two strong tank battles against the British at Caen and Tilly. These attacks were repeated, and the British were repulsed before they were able to retake Tilly. Tough Resistance AT Montebourg and Carentan in the Ameri can sector, we encountered costly fighting. ' At Montebourg our men were driven, back by superior power, yet in the end were able to re take the town. The famed ninth division, which cut across the Cherbourg isthmus and croked that city, fpught this isolated bitter engagement. The nazis had cleverly defended orchards, wooded hills, and particularly hedges along the roads. After we had spanned the isthmus the going was easier, but we had trouble at Valognes. The Germans tried to fight their way out of the Cherbourg entrapment, but 39,000 or more remnants of three divisions were finally bottled. The ninth division earlier had distinguished Itself in the difficult and dangerous advance down that northern highway of Sicily where blown tunnels and bridges high above the sea Impeded their path, and also fought well In Tunisia. While others may claim credit for having pushed the isthmus cutting drive half way across, it was the ninth alone which fin ished the task. While Cherbourg Is destroyed, It will be no more difficult for us to use than was Naples. There, we were able to re-establish docking facilities in an amazing few days. In short, the nazit now are tough only In spots. a a Jap Morale Thinning IN the Pacific also, Jap morale is being notice ably stretched. If she had any airplane pro duction comparable to ours, we would - not have dared go into Saipan. The bulk of what she has, is concentrated in southern Japan, for home protection, and in North China. The shock of losing 300 naval planes in our first landing operation was a terrific blow, th extent of which could be detected In the Jap broadcasts. Their radioed accounts to their . people seemed to have an apologetic tone, prom ising, for instance, that "the importance of Saipan will not be overlooked." But she would not have used these navy planes if she had had what she primarily needed for the defense of Saipan land-based air armadas stationed at the nearby islands she controls. In Burma and South China, she like wise has not been able to show much strength above ground, and everyone knows the exten sive losses to her ocean shipping. The desperateness of her situation Is evident also behind the fact that she bad to send her fleet to contest our Saipan operations. She could well risk her entire sea battlepower at that point, for if we get Saipan and establish our land-based bombers there, we can reduce the nearby bases of Tlnian (just about as well fortified as Saipan), Guam and Yap. Defense of her homeland or her shipping routes against those bases would be impossible. Consequently, authorities here have scaled forward their various estimates as to when Japan will crack. The average estimate Is that she will not last long enough to suffer the final .concentration of our fleet and air force after the defeat of Germany, but will surrender be fore these forces destroy her.

In tho Herald and News of Worinosday, Juno 31, thmo ap peared nil article and picture of the proposed pui'k dnvultipittoiit. It will be within ouny walking dlHtmico. of any homo In tho town of Malln. The gas shortage makos It hard for Ihe vary peoula who would enjoy our park most to go out very otten. Wouldn't It bo nlca for tha children of Klamath Falls If tlmio were a Dark closer to (own, fenced In, with tennis courts, a largo out-door swim mini! nool. and all the fucllltlrx of a playground for all situs of children. A enretukor who could check each child In and out of tho playground would, I believe, relieve tne nunaa 01 many worn Ing mothers. A great many grown ups would enjoy me swimming pom Iiil'o thcro ara no nubile swim ming pools In Klamath Falls w h a r a everyone big or little could go, Anothor thing why Isn't tomeimng clone a e o u i stion streets and avenues as Orchard, Martin, Derby. Porshlng way, to name a few. They are an eyesore to any town this sue ana popu lation. Whenever It rains these streets fill with huge ponds and puddles, making mom nearly inv DM.-a.ble In cars. What of tho tax- e the residents on these streets pay every year? Haven t they amounted to more than enough to remedy this situation. The people of Porshlng way have another problem. Ono that Is a health mcnuce. The cess pools In that area are forever running over Into tha yards and along the road, Many children live in thoaa lious and play in Uitxie ya.ds. Many roqiiontn have boon made to have a regular sower system Installed but no one seems to know who la responsible for that area. Everyone who lives there knows who sends them a tax In voice every year though. They also know where tho taxes are paid. Why Isn't a public health officer sent out there to Inves tigate? Is it too much politics or just lurk nf community goodfellow ship (bat is lospoiialbfo for thno conditions? It a small town Ilka Mnlln can scrape up 142,000 for Improvements and beautifying their town what could a town the site of Klamath Falls do? And why don't wo? L. D. MARTIN, I'. S.
