Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
RESPONSIVE to rather widely held opinion
in the community that such a project would
be unwise at this time, the Klamath Commandos
have abandoned their propose? piuu xUi a
000 service . center develop
ment here.
Those who regarded the pro
ject unfavorably felt that it
would take too long a time
and would Involve too many
problems to be practical. It
was felt that the Commandos,
who have done a gigantic job
for service men. in their small
center, might find a big, tardy
undertaking to be an anti
climax. Among practical con
siderations was the fact that
the suggested - site alone would cost $12,000,
and that a vast amount of maintenance and
administrative detail would be involved in such
an extensive project.
Those are a few, but probably not all, of
the reasons why the plan has been given up.
It is not necessary to go further into that
question; the thing to do now is to move quickly
in the direction of expanded facilities for the
service center which must be maintained either
in the present Main street location, or in some
other building already constructed.
This can be done at comparatively small cost.
The present quarters can be enlarged by use
of the basement, and possibly a small mezzanine
floor. If a larger downtown location could be
found, it would probably do the job better yet,
but such facilities are now pretty well filled '
up here. The possibility is now being ex
plored. , : . - . ; . - :
At any rate,, a definite decision should be
reached quickly. It is not known how long it
may last, but the number of military' men in'
town is still increasing. Winter weather is
coming on, and more of these boys will want to
get off the streets during cold weather and
into a warm, pleasant center. ' It will take
expanded facilities to care for - them.-
Upper Lake Mystery
LOCAL- chamber of commerce officials have
done some interesting long-distance probing
this week in an attempt to iind out from gov
ernment circles what lies behind the proposal, ',
reported from Chiloquin, for diking a section
of the upper end of Upper Klamath, lake for
land reclamation-purposes- in-that area. -' -
Chiloquin city officials are much concerned
about the reported scheme. They think it
would eliminate a large wildfowl shooting and
nesting area which is of more value as such
than as farm land. They had heard that the
scheme was included in certain legislation pro
posed in congress.
, An inquiry in Washington brought the report
that congressional sources, the fish and wildlife
service, army engineers and others knew noth
ing of any such proposed plan. Congressman
Stockman told the Chiloquin people, while he
was here, that he had heard nothing of it.
The Chiloquin folks said they got their news
through one C. C. Bresnell, fish and wildlife
service, Chicago, who had visited here to look
Into the matter.
Today, The Herald and News, . through the
AP, received a message throwing some light
on the matter. The message:
"C. C. Bresnell, assistant in charge of in
vestigating wildlife on public lands, says no
plan made to dam Upper Klamath lake. Sugges
tion made to drain Upper Klamath basin by im
pounding waters above marsh on Williamson
river. Would be part of broad postwar pro-:
gram. His recent trip to Oregon was in con
nection with other matters. Trip to Upper
Klamath marsh made to acquaint self with
wildlife situation in event drainage should be
done in future. Said he would keep us informed
but nothing' decided yet."
That throws a little, but not enough, ' light
on the thing. We will try to find out more
about it. '

ADDISON
By A. D. ADDISON
I E had word Friday that Justin Me-
YV Donald, former star advertising man
for this paper, had been advanced from junior
grade to a full lieutenant. Mac is with the
navy in the South Seas. That prompted the
thought that his annual letter from yours truly
is long overdue, and in sitting
down to write this column the
two ideas sort of merged. Any
way here it is, and Mac can
read it in the paper.)
Dear Mac:-
Congratulations on becom
ing a full lieutenant! I knew
that anyone who is as good
an advertising man as you
would be pushed up in Uncle's
navy.
Your old friend Berg (Tru
man Berg, recently assistant
manager of Sears) is following in your footsteps.-
He was commissioned a lieutenant (jg)
recently and is now taking his first training
, somewhere near Boston. I saw Mrs. Berg at
Sears the other day, and she said he was study
ing, umpteen hours a day from a set of books
three feet high. ,
Ron Fisher has taken over as assistant man
ager, and seems to have everything under
control.
e ,e e
Names and Slogans . .
IRAN into a tjood ono this week from another
of your old clients . . . Curt ' Lion at La.
Pointe's. Another good example of the value
of the brand names and slogans that we ad
guys keep harping on.
We ran a LaPointe's ad this summer on "Soap
and Water" Dresses. This week Lion received
a letter from one Eric Y. Munson, counselor at
law, in which he was advised that "my client
has been using the term 'Soap 'n Water' as a
trade mark for its fabrics for a considerable
period of time," etc., and please don't use it
any more! , .
Lion answered:
"Your letter of August 16th has been receiv
ed. The use of the term 'soap and water' was
merely incidental, and we will confine the
use of 'soap and water' to our private neces
sities. We grant your client, Crown Fabrics
Corp., 38 White Street, New York, the right
to use, 'soap and water" in public." .
Cook's Gems
I GUESS Doc Cook started his "Gems of
Thought From Idella's" after you started
wearing the navy blues, but you've seen them of
course in the paper. Doc's getting famous! I
had a letter from some advertising research
outfit in Chicago the other. day asking all about
it. Wanted it for an "idea service" they get
out, I think.
In case you missed it, here's my favorite of
Doc's offerings:
If it takes Dobbin twelve long years
.'To reach the middle of the stream,
. Instead of giving three loud cheers,
- To us good judgment,, it would seem.
Would be to get another horse ...
Unless one felt the urge
To set out in the river, and quietly
submerge.
"' " i don't know if Doc used "set" advisedly or
not, but it sounds good to me.
e e e
On The Rise
ADVERTISING volume is still on the rise.
Not like the good old bustle of 1941, but
still better than when you left. As a matter
of fact, it was the month after you left, May,
1943, that It started creeping up again. (No in
sinuations, chum, but the lineage book shows it.)
Nancy Bennet has been doing a swell job
this summer. In fact some of your old ac
counts have asked if they can't have her handle
their advertising when she gets out of school,
instead of you. (No aspersions, Lieutenant, but
you know how the women are.)
If you can keep from going around giving
orders and saluting all the time, we'll take you
back though. How about asking Nlmitz if
you can have shore leave to help out the home
front effort for a while. Say from about
October 14th to January 1st . . . and bring along
a couple of cases of shotgun shells.
e
Advertising and Health
AELL, take care that you don't stub your
YY toe on a coral reef, and hurry back. I
need your help to keep that libidinous Mac
Epley in- his place. Last week he made a
crack about a broken down university prof who
retired to an advertising job because of his
health.
Of course, there is nothing like a good
tough, engrossing job requiring full cerebration
to put one on one's feet. Ep ought to try it.
Yours,
DEB.

FAIR, PICKERS FEW
The huckleberry crop is only
fair and only a few pickers were
reported at Huckleberry moun
tain, according to a letter re
ceived from the superintendent
of the Crater Lake national forest
by the chamber of commerce.
It is estimated that there are
about 20 day camps with a few
week-day pickers and more on
Sunday.
The crop was to have reached
its peak yesterday, according to
the letter, and was to continue
good until the end of the month.
No fire permits are required
by pickers, and no auto fees are
now necessary to enter Crater
Lake National Park.

oats were under pressure from com
mission houses and local traders and tha
market was weak.
Resting demand for December wneat
at Sl.33 steadied tht market alone with
tha buying of the May contract by houses
with northwest connections.
Generally, the wheat trade was slow
with some selling of the September
against purchases of December at around
two cents difference In price.
Rye moved within a narrow range,

Commission houses sold fair amounts of
December rye at SI. 30, then tha offer
ings dwindled and prices advanced.
The demand for oals vas limited to

Telling Time by Dipper
Possible, Says Astronomt
TELLINd TIME BY THE
BIO DIPPER
By J. HUGH PROETT
Astronomer, Oeneral Extension
Division. Univ. of Ota.
Estimating tne approximate
hour of night by the starry
time piece is possible for the
one who Is familiar with the
face of this clock and the direc
tion of movement of Its single
hand. The end of the hand is
none ether than the Pointers of
the Big Dipper, those two stars
on the outer side of the bowl
which direct us to the north
star, Polaris.
Since the ancient peoples
used the heavenly bodies both
by day and night for the deter
mination of time, we with our
artificial time-indicators are
likely to think of the early
methods as very crude. But
back of all our exactitudes of
split seconds are the enduring
start whose meridian passages
are observed dally when possi
ble at the United States Naval
observatory. Without these star
transits the best of our clocks
would after a while be very un
certain instruments.
