PACE EIGHT TWELVE POINT PLATFORM SET BY OSTENDOHF Ed Ostcndorf, candidate for mavor in the November election, today issued his campaign state ment, emphasizing the import ance of maintaining and develop ing payrolls in the Klamath area. He offered a 12-point platform.- Here is his statement: I became a candidate for mayor of Klamath Falls upon the insistence of my many friends, as they pointed out to me that Klamath Falls and its people have been very good to me, that I did owe to the city my busi ness experience and knowledge that I have gained during my 15 years in business in Klamath Falls as head of the Ostcndorf Motor company, Dodge and Ply mouth dealer. 1. Knowing the city and tak ing part in its civic and frater nal organizations for all these years, that I should give my time to the city as its mayor as I have been out of - business for two years and on the semi-retired list. I could give to the city my full time. I am in a position to help Klamath Falls build and main tain her present payrolls and bring additional payrolls to re place the loss that we are going to have in the loss of some of our present industrial plants. It is important that the utiliza tion of mill waste offer oppor tunities in Klamath Falls. The Western Pine- association. Ore gon Forest laboratory, and Wey erhaeuser Timber company are engaged in extensive research on utilization of wood waste. We must cooperate with these con cerns and organizations to help work out a solution to keep our payrolls in Klamath Falls. Klamath Falls has always been very proud of its buying power. The level of per capita income in Klamath Falls and county was the highest in the state. Let's keep it up there. 2. Labor is interested in keep ing and maintaining the payrolls in Klamath Falls and county and I am sure we can depend on the support of labor in this respect. Labor is entitled to a say in city government, and I shall appoint a labor representative to several city committees. 3. Agriculture and dairying win no aouDt produce more buy- . ing power and payrolls. I be- Seeks Office fit! r1 4 j Ed Ostendorf. candidate for mayor at the November 7 election. GIFTS SWELL COMMUNITY DRIVE FUNDS The Veterinary By EARL WHITLOCK When you are considering the great production records which -our farmers have made during these war years beef, hogs, sheep, poultry, there is one man to whom a great deal of the credit must go. The man who keeps the farm animals in good condition so that they may multiply as they are supposed to do. The Veterinary Surgeon. In . many ways I think the "vet" has a more difficult job of diagnosis than the "Doc" whose practice is confined to us human members of the animal kingdom. For his patients can not describe their symptoms, to aid in his analysis. Dumbly they must suffer and he, through his kindliness and his love for his fe(low creatures and his knowl edge diagnoses their ills, pre sences treatment and in an amazing number of cases, snaps them out of whatever it is that is the matter with them. This little tribute is due to a talk I had recently with a larmer iriend who made me realize what a whale of a con tribution the "Vet" has made to the welfare of the farmer and, through him, to the economic might of America. lieve in close cooperation be tween the city and the surround ing trade territory. 4. Klamath Falls occupies an unusual position with respect to transportation, both rail and highways. Klamath Falls is nearlv half way between San Francisco and Portland on the closest route. We have excep tional good rail transportation to the north and south, so that our markets in both directions are easy to reach. Klamath Falls must take advantage of these easv and ouick markets. 5. The citizens of Klamath Falls should do all they can to support our wildlife sportsman's associations to help bring to our city the hunters and tourists that will travel our highways. we should all work together to make Klamath Falls the mec- ca for hunters and tourists, as we all know, that Klamath coun ty has everything for the hunter and tourist. This tourist and hunter dollar is going to be a very large dollar and we should be in a position to get our share of this travel. 6. 1 pledge support of the city of Klamath Falls with all county and state officials and will coop erate with fun support to the county and district court. 7. Of course, every city must have an efficient police and law entorcement body, and i assure you that we will have a police department that will cooperate with county and state and will show our citizens every respect. Our law enforcement body will be one that the citizens will be proud of. I will see to that. 8. We must improve our parks and playgrounds within the city and especially in Mills addition. y. mamam aus is a sa.uuu, 000 concern and her finances are in very good position at this time and u L am elected mayor, we will keep Klamath Falls on the pay-as-we-go basis. 10. I think that our business men should be more civic-mind- ed in making Main street more presentable to the women that have to use this street in shopping. 11. Klamath Falls already has one of the big military air bases in the northwest, and it is up to the city officials to follow through, and see that Klamath Falls gets full recognition as to the possibilities here as an air base of importance in civilian aviation. 12. I will endeavor at all times to have an ODen door to hear any and all complaints of our citizens. My slogan: Maintain and De velop Industrial Payrolls. A Business Man for a Business Administration. If I am elected to the office of mayor of Klamath Falls, I pledge my support to all the points above mentioned. ED OSTENDORF.

Anv questions regarding the con trol program here can be answered by the war unco ana ration board, phone 8101.) By MILO RYAN. Rent Information Specialist . There's a lot of what u salty sailor calls 'scuttlebutt on the subject of otfiee of price admin istration rent control. If you were to put end to end the erroneous Ideas of what rent control is and is not, does and docs not, can and cannot, you'd have a line reaching from today to the hour OPA breathes its last. This series of articles would not be complete without beat ing down some of the false no tions that are bound to float around here in Klamath Falls as tho rent program moves ahead. One of the commonest Is the idea that it the tenant . is per fectly willing to pay moro than the rent ceiling allows the OPA has nothing to say about it. Wrong. No tenant, the law says, can waive the provisions of the rent program. Not Exclusive Another is the idea that OPA says certain dwellings must be rented only to defense people or to service people, or that with certain types of improvement or alterations a landlord has to relit only to such tenants. OPA lias nothing to say about who any landlord's tenants must be. except, of course, that with out good reason to the contrary it has to continue to be the pres ent tenant. Then there's the one about terms- of occupancy of hotel rooms. Sometimes hotel man agers post a sign stating that oc cupancy is limited to five or six days. Pressed for an explana tion, a guest may be told this is so because the OPA requires it. OPA says nothing about how Next Monday Mr. Whitlock will comment on WATCH YOUR BEHAVIOR.

A hotel manager has tho right to ask any tenant on a dally or weekly basis to vacate at any time, of course. OPA says that a guest who stays over a certain number of days can ask for a weekly rate and, if the hotel s quota or weekly rentals is not filled, tho guest must be given such a rate. Sonic hotels will set the six-day limit to avoid such requests. Nor does OPA say tiow low a rent may be. It says only how high it may be. Landlords van, If they choose, rent below the celling without any order from OPA whatsoever. Another common fallacy, on the part of landlords is tho as sumption that because Mr. Smith on Avenue A is getting $10 for his place, Mr. Jones of Avenue B should get the same amount. Aim to Stabiliie OPA docs not equalize rents. Its aim is stabilization, so it fixes rents at the point where they stood at tho freeze date, when there were no abnormal pres sures affecting landlord-tenant bargaining. Still another common notion is that OPA controls rents only in those localities which have been declared defense-rental areas. From a practical standpoint this is so, but actually every sec tion of the country has been de clared a defense-rental area, but OPA operates rent offices only in those areas where inflation ary conditions have thrown dwelling rentals out of line. Control Follows Where inflation strikes rent values, sending prices skyrocket ing, OPA control follows. Its entrance into any community is made, however, only after a care ful and considered study of the community has been made here the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Department of Labor, helps out and after it is clear that the situation is not remediable by local action. These eight articles have hit only the high spots. For further information, the rent office at the war price and rationing board will be ready to answer questions, once registration is completed.
