A. W. Downs, city sanitary in
spector, who has been checking
undue amounts o garbage in al
leys, stenches rising from refuse
piled behind buildings, stagnant
water puddles, says that he has
found deplorable conditions in
the most unlikely places. Mer
chants have been advised to
clear up rubbish.
The debris not only makes an
unsightly appearance, but en
courages the breeding of disease
. germs, Downs said.
George McCollum, owner of
the sunken, swampy lot in the
1300 block on Main, has agreed
to fill it in, preparatory to fu
ture building, to assist in the
Cleaner Klamath program.
Steve Rose, chairman of the
"C. K." committee, stated that
a campaign is under way to
make residents 'clean" conscious.
'Tourists find everything they
desire in Oregon in the way of
sports and scenery," Rose said,
"but we can't expect to impress
visitors favorably if our streets
are cluttered with rubbish, and
our sidewalks overgrown with
weeds."

suggested "before and after"

Yanks Celebrate As News
Of Jap Peace Feelers Heard
By BOBBIN COONS
OKINAWA, Aug. 10 (P)
This American-held island, only
325 miles from the Japanese
homeland, kicked over the
traces of war in a wild fireworks
celebration as first unofficial
word spread that the Japanese
are ready to quit .
Soldiers who only three nights
ago shot flak airward against
enemy raiders, let loose their
guns in celebration. The island
and naval anchorage rocked
with gunfire, cheers and the
roar of rockets.
The air raid sirens wailed a
prolonged "all clear" signal.
One outdoor movie, showing
"Captain Eddie," the story of
the life of Eddie Rickenbacker,
had reached a sequence where
the hero, just back from the
first World war, tells his bride
he bets millions of other former
soldiers are going fishing. At
that moment distant cries and
cheers echoed above the sound
track and the GLs, on edge since
the first atomic bomb dropped
and Russia entered the war,
yelled for word.
It came.
The operator announced:
"Japan has asked for terms
of surrender!
The film was forgotten In the
roaring celebration which fol
lowed. Only today supply depots
received calls for gas masks as
conjecture spread Japan might
try a last desperate effort to at
tack this island.
