MdM IVM Mtmbei AudM urean ClrculaUoB Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY ; LITTLE that was not known here already is given to the Bonneville economic survey if Klamath county, reported In a news story elsewnere in loaay s paper uui the survey gathers all of this vital Information together into concise, graphic form and pre sents objectively a series of conclusions that are wal' worthy of the most careful study. To some observers, the out look given in this survey may seem to be on the conservative if not the pessimistic side. But that is the safer side, and as EPLEY presented in tms reporv una jutlook offers a challenge to the best minds and-'; the most loyal citizens of the basin community to make the most of the real spportunities here for economic and civic ad- 'BerHall likes to say, in connection with the remarkable development here in the past, that "those things didn't Just happen." Some one did a lot of planning, some one had the courage and the vision to carry out those plans. ' That, generally speaking, was at the beginning Df the period of outstanding economic advance ment in the 1920-40 decades. Another era la opening up in this basin community, and again it is inadvisable to base everything on the hope that things will "just happen." It's our Job to see to it they do happen, and this survey, awak ening public interest with a challenge and a warning, may prove most helpful in that dl rection. ; Klamath's place in the transportation and power picture of the Pacific coast, plus its abundant agricultural resources, its substantial remaining forest products resources, its recrea tional opportunities and its rugged, vigorous people, is ample basis on which to build. Buckaroo Days BUCKAROO DAYS rodeo drew an attendance that must have been highly gratifying to the American Legion and the committee in charge. It was comparable to the best of the similar western shows field here, and it proved entertaining and Interesting to thousands who were in Klamath Falls for the holiday period. - As a spectator who talked to a good many , other spectators, this writer is going to offer a , couple of suggestions, Which can be taken for what they may be worth. . It is .unnecessary to talk of the need for speed and snap in any entertainment program, ' and we won't dwell long, on that. Getting them into a show of . this type may be difficult, but it is always a worthy objective. ' ' We believe spectator Interest would be whet ted by a more complete report to the crowd on the competitive standing of the contestants. Few people attend all three days of the show, and they would like to know when the fastest time is made in time events or who is com peting for the highest honors in the bronc rid ing, etc., while the show is going on. Football crowds, for instance, are interested in the score, and they even are told the standings in first downs and yardage at intervals in a game. Why not give rodeo crowds a few more statistics? Lynn Roycroft, local business man who did the announcing, is equal to the best of the pro fesslonri we have heard. His humor is good, his voice is good, and he is good. That added statistical and personal information from his microphone would have been most Interesting. The Klamath show, we believe, offers abund ant opportunity for pageantry, and there is much in the history of the Klamath country that could be dramatized at this event, making it much more than just another rodeo. Certainly the horseflesh in view in the arena at the fairgrounds and in the Fourth of July parade left little that could be asked, and it was on the whole a good show with planty of the proverbial "thrills and spills." The War Today By DtWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press War Analyst THE red avalanche, having torn the Germans loose from the strategic strongholds of Minsk and Polotsk, has continued to roll the nazl line back in what bids fair to be the greatest disaster that yet has overtaken the man who three years ago marched his conquering legions over this old invasion route- in his arrogant quest of world domination. Berlin itself has admitted that the Russian advances have been so rapid that big German units have been left in the rear of the Musco vites. The -nazi losses have been colossal something like a quarter of a million men killed or captured in the past thirteen days. This sacrifice has been imposed by Hitler himself who has ordered his men to fight to the death and, according to captured nazl General Bauem ler, has been enforcing this bloody command by exacting reprisals for disobedience. German Distress AE have here a picture of German distress YY which strengthens the belief of observers that the battle of Minsk, will prove to be one of the decisive engagements of the entire war. The conservative London Times yesterday in describing the position declared that "part of the eastern front today present a spectacle that has not been seen in Europe since 1918 that of a broken German army." This analyst' doesn't make It his business to prophesy, but only to indicate trends possibil ities and probabilities. There's the possibility of a German debacle in White Russia. How aver, the facts don't warrant us in assuming a collapse at the moment. A bit more time will tell whether Prussian military skill will again enable a withdrawal to other defenses. Approaching Downfall IN any event, the disaster already visited on the Hitlerites, and the great military ad vantage gained by the victory in the Minsk sector, rank this as one of the decisive con tributions to Hitler's rapidly approaching down fall. Possession of the ancient citadel of Minsk is permitting the red armies to roll westward towards East Prussia," Warsaw and Berlin! Polotsk is the open Sesame to Latvia and Lithu ania, and the onrushing Muscovites were said : to be lea than a score of miles from the frontiers of these Baltic states today.

I have been hoping some one else would express their views on the same subject but there has been nothing as yet. I have made an effort to get the service men's idea. A club especially for the roan in uni formwith dining and dancing accommodations seems to be the universal idea of what would be just right. Some place where they can take their own particular girl friend. Of course there could be lounging room for those not caring to dance. This should be well chaperoned at all times, And hardly need ful is it to mention that loo per cent are for a large and ad equate natatorium. Did it ever occur to you that there is but one grassy- plot within the city .'. limits where couples can sit and rest or chat on a summers evening? There are plenty of unsightly vacant lots and alleys thoueh.. There are ways and means for effecting all this and it would not call for donations or charity either. things the service men and all seem to resent. Some of these suggestions would not fall far short for handling the teen-age group too and believe me with later hours permitted on the streets some thing will be needed. As far as I know, with hut minor exceptions, there hasn't been a nail driven or a shovel of dirt turned to take care of these thousands of men that are with us. It is up to the city and people of Klamath Falls whether these men are a pleasure and benefit or become a downright nuisance. Thanking you, I am Sincerely yours Edith Calpltti.

British heavy and light bomb ers struck before dawn at rail roads, troop bivouacs and rock et bomb launching platforms, and a synthetic oil plant in the Ruhr. American Marauders support ed British ground troops by bombing two road bridges over the Orne river close to Caen. Both were valuable links for movement of German reserves and materiel into that embat tled inland port. Other Marauder formations bombed fuel and supply dumps in the Senonches forest, 20 miles southwest of Druex; a rail junction near Laigle, 30 miles west of Dreux, and sup ply points in the wooded area 25 miles southwest of Dreux. Dreux is two-thirds of the way from Caen to Paris. The Ma rauders and their Thunderbolt escorts encountered no inter ceptors, but German flak brought down two of the medi um bombers.
