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.

SERVICE MEN'S
, HOSPITALITY
ruKLATH FALLS, Orel (To
rhe Editor): Thank you for
publishing my letter.
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.
