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.

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.

THANKS FROM THE WATCH
MARINE BAHHAUiio, txo we
Editor) I have a watch, as do
most people these days, but you
ee this watch is somewhat of a
problem. 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.

The Bell Syitem-tho largest lource
of Radar (or our fighting forces
This Is not surprising for Rndnr
development and production stems ,
from the same roots that produced
nd continue to nourish tills coun
try's telephone system,
Radar, the Instrument which en
abled our land, sea and air forces
to spot enemy targets through dark
nets, smoke or fog, was one of the
outstanding new fighting instru
ments of the war.
Two years before Ponrl Harbor
the Government asked Bell Tele
phone Laboratories to put Its wide
experience and knowledge of elec
tronics to work to help perfect
Radar as military Instrument.
From then on the Laboralorlei cooperated closely in the Radar program whh tha
National Defense Research Committee, with Army and Navy specialists, and with
scientists of Great Britain.
The Western Electric Company, manufacturing branch of the Bell System, be
eame the Natlon'e largest supplier of Radar systems. One type It made was unU
yersally.used by B-29s In the Pacific for navigation, target location and high
altitude bombing. Another played an Important part In aiming the guni on our
warships,
? If you're waiting for a home telephone, It helps a little to know that Radar !

war needs. '
