TAND1NG on the peninsula hill overlooking

m
limit there Is 25 miles an hour . . . The danger,
" they say, is particularly great in the late after
noon when workers are coming in from the
air station and school children and newsboys
are on the sides of the street . . . There is a
certain noxious weed known, in northern Cali
fornia, as the Klamath weed, and the Siskiyou
News calls it the "scourge of the ranges" . . .
Looks as if the chamber of commerce ought to
try to get the name changed . . . Eugene
Register-Guard pays Malin a pretty compliment
for its public-spirited park program, but mis
takenly calls it a milltown . . . Willamette
valley people can't get it into their heads that
there is anything in the Klamath country but
timber and sawmills . . . N. E. Dennis brought
in a clipping from the Burlington, Vt., Free
Press, carrying an AP story telling all about
the Klamath Commandos and their wounded
service men's project . . . Vour correspondent
reached the ripe old ago of 40 today, and if
anybody else makes that remark about "life
beginning" he'll resort to eye-gouging and the

I 1.. Imnmeewl with the
immensity of the place, but
soon finds himself deep in
speculation over its strange
ness, its mystery, and the vas
complexity of the problems it
represents.
In all the world there is no
place like it. There are con
centration camps, and prisoner-of-war
camps, and plain
prisons, but Tulelake is none
of these. -It is a strange ex-

was conceived at distant Pearl Harbor. It rep
Resents vast personal tragedy, but it also repre
sents the sincere, though sometimes fumbling,
attempts of a humanitarian government to do
the right thing in a tough situation. It is not
the solution to any problem, for the vast prob
lem It represents is unsolved.
Within its far-flung fences are conflicting, not
fully identified elements, struggling over con
flicting, not fully identified issues. -
Within those confines are the , unpunished
assassins of a fellow-evacuee, the plotters and
the workers for calm and order, the hell-raisers
and the peace-lovers, the agitators and the in
different, the law-abiding and the criminals.
Tulelake center what a spot! You and I
live as neighbors to a place that is making un
precedented history
Progress . , ,
' IT is gobd'to report that some progress is. being
' made in- the matter of cleaning up the road
sides between town and the Marine Barracks.
.The operators, of the city dump there, we
are informed, are showing commendable will
ingness to cooperate. A fence and some removal ,
. of unsightly buildings . and rubbish is plan
ned at that place. City officials and Barracks
officials are getting together on other clean-up
plans, anil; .certainly the contractor should soon
remove the "temporary dump near the last turn
of, the road near the Barracks. It is unfortun
ately in full view from the highway.-

S' HOULD the flag fly at night in. wartime?
We have a letter from JHB, saying that
ononis' way home from work at 3:15 a. m. the
other morning he noticed the flag flying over
the courthouse.
;The question of the. propriety of night-flying
of 'the flag has come up before, and we asked
the best authority on the subject we know,
Sergeant Les.Finley of the marines.
iLes said that so far " as he ' knows, flag
etiquette permits flying the flag all night during
wartime. . He couldn't find anything in the
b$ok .that states otherwise, and we pass along
his report without further comment.

The War Today
By DeWJTT MacKENZIE
Associated Press War Analyst
WITH due caution one records that catas
trophe is treading on the heels of the
Hitlerian armies which are being rolled back
with heavy loss of life and material by a
multiple red offensive which is developing the
greatest striking power ever let loose in such
an operation.
The German danger is so acute that disaster
of the first magnitude might overtake them at
any time. They apparently are. trying to
engineer a wholesale withdrawal of great depth
to new defenses, thus straightening their long
and unwieldy front and shortening their com
munications. Need Luck
THE nazis will have to be mighty lucky to
succeed. We've seen their generalship
achieve many masterly withdrawals, and . it
would be, a serious mistake to underestimate
German resourcefulness in emergencies. How
ever, Hitler no longer has the manpower or
equipment to enable him to manipulate his
defenses as he has in the past.
Berlin military spokesmen for several days
have been preparing the German public for a
great withdrawal on the eastern front. While
not avoiding the seriousness of the situation,
they've advertised this as part of a revised
strategy. ......
It's represented that this realignment will
permit of the transfer of nazi forces from the
eastern front to the western theater for a major
assault on the allies in Normandy. The idea
is to administer a quick, decisive defeat on
the western allies and then whip back to the
Russian front in time to protect the eastern
frontiers of the reich.
- .
Strategy of Desperation
WELL, as the stage magician would say, it's
a good trick if they do it and it's a
good trick if they don't. It's a strategy of
desperation, but the Hitlerites are in desperate
straits. '
One of the astonishing aspects of the Russian
offensive is that the red armies have been aver
aging more than 10 miles a day in vital sectors,
with heavy fighting, for a score of days without
rest. Whether they can continue much longer
without a breather remains to be seen, but the
launching of their new Latvian drive doesn't
look much like a pause. Their stamina is
amazing.
If they do halt it may give the nazis a
chance to pull up their socks a bit. But if the
red machine keeps on rolling as it's going
now, Hitler may have to abandon the' Baltic
states and East Prussia on the run. The nazi
command has anticipated this contingency by
evacuation of German nationals from some
areas. The way the signs read now the enemy
will be compelled to fall back at least as far.

you think?
ASIDE FROM MARRYING the One and
Only, there's hardly a bigger step
for. a fellow than getting into the . . .
right Job and with the right outfit.
.How maybe you're a bit tired of
'seeing so many Help Want-ads... tired"
of hearing that this or that Job is
wonderful, terrific, if not colossal.
Maybe you'd like to hear now about
an opportunity that's Just simply
good and good all the way through.
Anyway, here goes.
S3
You'll get good wages at S.r. - reg
ular, railroad scale. Just recently
increased, by the way. And you start
right off in the new, higher braoket.
(Ihe payoheok, we need hardly oay,
Is always on time).
IF YOU LIKE PEOPLE, we think you'li
like oursthe kind who think tnaybf
.the ether fellow has a bit on tho
ball, too, and want to help him sho
it. They're regular". Typioal rail
roaders. (Incidentally, most of
S.P. 3 big men started on the lot
ad of the ladder).
HERE AT SOUTHERN PACIFIC there is an
opening for you. We say "opening"
purposely because a Job with us can
lead to a lot more than a steady
paycheck. And that goes, whether
. you're a White Collar or No Collar
man, bollermaker or shoe clerk.
There's an opening for you in the
kind of work you want, whether a
oraft, office, work, clerioal, tech
nical - in fact,' anything., (And don't
worry if you're inexperienced. We
Bll were, at one time. You'll learn.
Of course you do need experience for .
such Jobs as boilermaker, pipefitter,
carpenter, etc.)
RAILROADING IS DIFFERENT. Somethlrj.
lolorful and exciting about it
a he-man's business. Kind of a
rorld of its own time-tables, turn
tables, roundhouses, troop trains,
locomotives, streamliners. Own lingo,
too high iron, red ball, reefer,
hoghead, brain plate. Trains and 1.6
grades... everything moving. ..and the
whole West to move in. Get aboard the
Iron Horse and you'll feel something
naybe.no other Job oan give you.
Railroading 's that way...
NOW THAT'S A SNAPSHOT of what it '8
like working for S.P. We've tried not
to doll it up, 'though we could add
such things as railroad pass priv
ileges, our fine pension plan,
medical services, sooial aotlvitiea.
and so on. The proof is on tho Job,
when you come down to it ...and we
hope you'll oome in ready to do a bit
of proving. Fair enough?
Here are a few of the many
jobs open at S.P. today
Many others, of courte. And menjr
