CHANGE NEEDED
IN EDUCATION,
SAYS GRALAPP
Change to a more progressive
educational system is imperative
to fill the needs of business and
industry in the post-war period,
Arnold Gralapp, superintendent
of citv schools, stressed in his
speech before the Lions club
Tuesday noon,
Gralapp stated that in 1938
there were 5,000,000 young peo
ple in the nation between the
ages of 18 and 24 who were un
acceptable to industry because of
their lack of specialized knowl
edge. He pointed out the neces
sity of raising the level of voca
tional training to make it accept
able to colleges, so that the need
for highly-trained young people
might be filled. ,
A plan for Klamath Falls
schools, which would provide
post-high school education for
more students, was outlined by
Gralapp. Under the new set-up,
primarv school would include the
10th grade, and high school
would continue through the 14th
grade on a level acceptable to
other colleges. This would
greatlv increase the small per
centage of students now able to
go on with their education after
high school. Gralapp said.
Eugene Hooker was chairman
at the luncheon meeting, and
guests were Dick Nyland, Bill
Bvan, Charles Johnson. Harry
Stoler, Lawrence Shaw and A. A.
Lee of Salem.

T
pared to the standard names, one
dealer in Klamath Falls declared
that the smoke situation wss get
ting tougher all the time. There
was suspicion of a little hoarding
as smokers make the rounds of
the various tobacconists on days
when allotments come through.
Although service men in this
area find cigarettes available at
the post exchange, hundreds buy
their smokes in town and this
does not alleviate the situation
for civilians, borne dealers in
Klamath Falls said they figured
approximately 60 per cent of
their quota was going to army
and navy personnel.
Main street gets cigarettes on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day. This means that the week
end finds them without a pack
on the shelves. East Main and
S. 6th establishments are usually
serviced Mondays.
The past two weeks showed a
slight let-up in the situation but
wis week the signs were popping
out again on the counters advis
ing customers that they should
look elsewhere for their cicar-
ettes.
One wholesaler assured the
smoking public that it wasn't the
dealer's fault that he couldn't
meet tne demand.
"The manufacturers can't get
tobacco. They haven't enough
labor to make the ciearettes
They can't get enough paper for
canons or pacKs, and they have
to set aside lots for the armed
services. Then the growers arc
uyiiig io participate in tne lend
lease program."

Atherton to Work
For Compulsory
Military Service
PORTLAND, Sept. 27 VP)
The newly-retired commander of
the American Legion was en
route home to Stockton, Calif
today to work for compulsory
military training divided into a
half year's study and a half
year's drill.
"With the development ot
scicntilic war," Warren Ather
ton said during a brief atop
here, "a man wants to have
training in physics, chemistry,
and mathematics. It Isn't going
to do him any good to crawl
through the mud on his belly
for a year."
The Legion's drive for a con
gressional bill providing uni
versal military service will be
gin at once, he said.
Atherton, who visited Pacific
fronts in the late spring, said
furloughs were being delayed
for two reasons lack of ship
ping facilities, ad the fact that
release of experienced key vet
erans would slow victory.

ing the escape of two men from
Ihe state reformatory at Monroe
last Saturday, King countv Sher
iff Harlan S. Callahan critlctied
last night what he termed laxness
of state ncnal officials In tailing
to notify enforcement agencies
of escapes.
Callahan said the two men,
George Smith, 22, and George
Haken, 21, drove a reformatory
truck through Snohomish and
King counties to Kent where
thev abandoned the car.
"State police and deputy sher
iffs paid no attention to them
because thev were not notified
of the escape for nearly seven
hours, he said.
Failure to notify officers of
paroles also was criticized by
Callahan who said "a killer of
the worst type" was paroled from
the stale penitentiary at walla
Walla for six weeks "and we
didn't know it until he shot a
soldier during an attempted
stickup at Everett.
