Published evory afternoon excupt Sunday t Eiplanade and Pine itreeta, Klamath Falli, Oregon, by th llarald Publlihlng Co, and tha Newt Publishing Company. Mam bar, AMOclatad Praia Member Audit Bureau Circulation EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY CROSS-TOWN traffic will probably be a pretty hot topic here for some time to come. There may be plenty of time to talk About It. Development of the route, according to State High way Engineer Daldock, Is not on the first three-year pro gram of the highway commis sion. Traffic from highway No. 97 will come Into Klamath Falls from the north by way of Alameda street to Esplanade, and then Into the cross-town situation by Esplanade. From the south, it will come In by Riverside and over the Link river bridge. How it will go from the bridge to Esplanade, and vice versa, is the cross-town question. One-way traffic on certain streets seems in evitable. Most people, like this scribe, will probably view that prospect with distaste, but it is generally conceded as the way to handle the problem. Merchants favor using Klamath for the northbound one-way traffic, and Pine for the southbound, with Main continuing as a two-way artery between them. Engineer Bal dock, at the outset, leans towards making Main one-way for the southbound traffic, and Klam ' ath the northbound one-way lane. The engineer thinks people will look favor ably, once they see it working, on one-way traffic on Main, the town's principal business street We are skeptical. Around Or Through EVENTUALLY, Mr. Baldock says, it is certain there will be a route around the town for through traffic. That may be the case, but wa do think it is less necessary here than else where. That is because of Klamath's isolation from other cities. We have an idea that most motorists,: after driving more than 100 miles . through open ; country,, will want .to driye right into Klamath's business district, as they do now; They will want to do business here; and, they will welcome the change of scenery. Making the main route around the town, with a mere option of coming in, is to us a questionable proposal. Our idea is to work out the cross-city routes so they will handle the traffic properly, and let the through traffic use them instead of diverting it around the town. End The Uncertainty IT Is important that the decision on what routes will be used should be made relatively soon, regardless of how quickly wa can get construction work. There has always been too much uhcertainty about the future - development of Klamath's business district. Property holders have been reluctant to invest In development that may find the traffic and the activity moving away from We need stability that will encourage perman ent improvements. A decision on the -major traffic routes will help bring about that sta bility. Strife Is Unpopular HEARTILY we echo a comment made by Major Paul Douglas, wounded marine hero who Is head of the planning committee for the forthcoming national labor-management conference, and who expressed conviction that his fellow-Americans want no more strife, either "external or internal." Major Douglas, who was appointed by Labor Secretary Schwellenbach, for many years served as arbitrator in cases involving the typographi cal union, pressmen's union, and the American Newspaper Publishers association. Recalling those years, he told Washington newsmen that "We seldom had strikes." In 1942, Douglas left a University of Chicago Job to enlist as a private in the marine corps, where there weren't any strikes. Advertising Roundup Br A. D. ADDISON THE time has come, as the little ads say, to report a few developments in this paper's business operation. During the past few years we've been "cribbed, cabined and confined." There's been a shortage of manpower to get ads and to get them printed, there's been a shortage of paper to print them on, and there's been a shortage of mer chandise to advertise. It's a little hard to realize that this IS postwar, but as a few of these wrinkles start to unfold it begins to sink in. Manpower here has definitely taken the turn. 9 I ADDISON Barrel Bottom STARTING at the end of the operation carrier delivery is still a problem, but in the pressroom we have a full crew, the best we've ever had. For printers, it has turned for the better, but the boys are still putting in more overtime than they like. When Jane Epley left the advertising de partment the first of August you could see the bottom of the barrel, because, aside from yours truly, the display advertising department . was composed of Nancy Bennet, who left . us after Labor Day for college. However, Gene Ingels, recently of Uncle Sam's navy, joined us this week, and Jimmy Morrison, who left our news department a few years ago to buy the Butte Valley Star, will become a Herald and News advertising man the first of October. We're anxiously awaiting the release of Justin McDonald from the navy, and Bill Jenkins, who worked on ads in the summer of '41 before joining the marines, should be back taking a place on the paper before too long, . . - Bee Wells and Leah Dent have adequately handled the "want ads" for the past year or so, and are now handling legal publications also. One of the oldest in Herald and News service and newest with the advertising de partment is Joy Rolph. She now is "Martha," writing the column conceived by Jane Epley several years ago. So much for manpower . . . it's still not too hot but advertisers can at least look forward to better service. We Need Paper! NEWSPRINT is another story. While quota restrictions have been lifted on practically all other paper, newsprint is still under the same allotment system. We expect to know how much paper will be available for the rest of the year within the next week or so. Specifically, for this Quarter, The Herald and News used a little less than schedule in July but used enough too much in August to eat up this saving. This month we're just skinning by. THERE is a little heavier demand for news paper advertising now than there was a year ago. Merchandise shortages still act as a damper, but local enterprising such as that of Leons, The Town Shop, Roger's Jewelry -and others have put a spark in good old-fashioned competition , . . with a modern touch. The gasoline companies have been the first to cut loose on a national scale. The time is coming.

It is an unclean watch. It needs cleaning badly. So I hopefully carried my watch into your thriving metro polis the other day desiring that one of your local jewelers would make it clean for me again. Perhaps, before I go further, I should say this watch is one of the more unfortunate watches, it has the dubious honor of be longing to a serviceman. From all of the jewelers, but one of whom I shall have more to say later, I received the same bored, condescending look as much as to say "MY boy, don't you know there's been a war going on?" Yes, I had seen in a paper once where there was some fighting and men were getting hurt tool I I also had heard what a problem it was to get a watch repaired or cleaned. I was well aware of these facts, and I did not expect pre-war service. 1 did expect, but ma not receive, the little civil cour tesies that any person, civilian or service, has the right to ex- Sect. I was treated as a bad oy who had committed a mis demeanor and who was to be rightfully punished for it. I was candidly given the im pression that I was not a regular customer, had never been nor could be expected to be a po tential customer, and therefore who was I to expect the civilities or service tendered to one of standing purchase? - I might say my watch and I were very irate and disgusted after making the proverbial rounds. We talked it over and decided perhaps it would be best to wait until we returned home again. Then I espied Bertram's, it was our last chance. We were greeted cordially and after imparting our troubles the esteemed gentleman asked to see the faulty watch. Although his store was teeming with custom ers he took time to look into tho workings of my watch and in formed me that I had been cor rect in my conjectures, the watch did need cleaning badly. He was sorry, I repeat, he was sorry but lie had more repair work on hand than he could handle at the present time, out would I mind, I repeat, would I mind bringing it back in two weeks and he was sure he would be able to handle it then. If he had said two years I still would not have minded for he treated me as another human being, and despite, yes, despite my uniform as an equal. So my watch and I returned to the street, the sun seemed brighter, and the air seemed cleaner. Our faith in humanity had been restored. Not all "watch doctors" were hardened cynics. Even in Klamath there was one who had not lost his perspective in regards to the little courtesies and conventions that make our life a trifle easier to bear. My watch and I thank you. Corp. Ervin G.
