situation and to prepare a map
indicating sidewalk conditions.
Councilman Rollin CantraU
pointed out that sidewalks in
many parts of town are in dis
repair and also that in some
cases dirt has encroached upon
the walks. It is the responsi
bility of property-holders, he
said, to maintain sidewalks in
good condition, and the improve
ment should be a matter of civic
pride. In cases where unsatis
factory conditions exist in front
of vacant lotvthe city may be
able to help clean them up, he
. added.

of the first major undertakings

the new plan, Downs will receive
$175 a month, plus the operation
and upkeep costs of his automo

.Councilman Paul Landry was
the principal spokesman against

might some day want to open the
streets and that he is opposed

streets. He pointed out that

was vacated between Klamath
and Walnut many years ago,

and claims the city has given
him permission.

FOR PWS GROWS
The problem of getting sup
plies to prisoners of war in lu
rope is growing increasingly dif
ficult, Mrs. Ruth Belew, prisoner
of war consultant of the San
Francisco office has notified the
Red Cross here.
"I think we should know of
these difficulties and make
families aware of them," stated
Mrs. Belew, "so that they can
understand reports that are com
ing out of Germany regarding
non-receipt of packages.
The International Red Cross
committee has been informed
that tinned goods would be punc
tured as soon as they arrive to
force immediate consumption,
Mrs. Belew pointed out.
Not only do food packages
inuve siowiy u ai an wimtn Eu
rope, but a recent order of the
German high command limits
reserve stocks in camps to a
maximum of eight weeks' sud-
ply.
The German order follows:
"It is hereby ordered, state
security requires a drastic reduc
tion in the stocks of foodstuffs
in tins from Red Cross supplies,
and also out of personal parcels
in Depots ana also in tne posses
ion of individual prisoners of
war. The contents of tins already
on hand and of tins which arrive
have got to be used quickly by
the prisoner of war after paying
attention to security censorship."

Demo Almost Pulls
Coup In Kansas
TOPEKA, March 13 (,P1 John
A. Potticek, lone democrat in the
Kansas-state senate, almost suc
ceeded yesterday in having re
publican precinct committeemen
labeled "noxious weed seed snif
fers." During discussion of a bill to
classify Johnson grass as a
noxious weed, Potucck offered
an amendment to have the re
publican committeemen named
"noxious weed seed sniffers."
There was no protest on the
voice vote but before the ap
proval was recorded an alert
republican demanded a count.
Potucek's coup was turned back
and the republicans saved their
committeemen from the noxious
title.
