Altar i.dv p. nu cau Uembar, Auociated Pre Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup . By MALCOLM EPLEY RECORDS of several Klamath county organi zations, as well as the editorial files of this newspaper, will show repeated warnings of the need for an automatic signal at the Hagcr crossing of the Oregon, Cali fornia and Eastern railroad, where three persons were killed Saturday night. This grade crossing is on one of the most heavily travel ed roads in Klamath county and has taken a heavy toll in death and injury. Saturday night's multiple-death accident will serve to dramatize the dancer to motorists, but it is pretty safe to predict that the EPLEY toll there will continue to rise unless this cross ing is equipped with protective devices that are common to far less hazardous grade crossings in all parts of the state. Not only is the daytime vision of approach ing motorists impaired on both sides of this crossing, but at night, particularly when flat cars are rjeinc nuuea across me nicnway, me lights of oncoming cars give a deceptive im pression that the road is clear. We have per sonally experienced that hazardous situation several times. The only real solution to this problem lies in grade separation or installation of automatic safety devices. It is all right to talk about edu cating the public about the danger at this cross ing, but this is a road that is heavily used by people not familiar with local conditions. XX there is Justification for automatic devices at any graae crossing, n cariainiy exuu i nagm. Recently, the Junior chamber ot commerce and the senior chamber of commerce nave at tempted to have a wig-wag signal moved irom another, less dangerous crossing, to tne tiager danger spot. The grange is anotner organization which, has attempted, on several occasions, to get. something done at Hager. as many as iu years ago, me ranroaa cumpaiiy icsiaicu yiv posal that a signal be Installed at uus pomt. More recently, since operation ot tne line was turned over to the two major companies, were have been expressions or interest in tne proc- lem. but nothing has been done. With three more deaths fresh in their minds, railroad officials and the state public utilities commissioner will surety now lase me av.-uuu which has been delayed far too long aireaay.

People who go their own ways, taking their pleasures and entertainment wnen iney wan. to. no not realize what is required in volunteer work of the kind given by the OWAC. Then work has meant night calls and day calls, in terruption of their own work and play, and a lot of real labor all without compensation ex cept the pleasure that comes in real public service. "V Recognizing the good work done by the corps, the Klamath Elks lodge presented it with an ambulance in March of 1943. Using this fine equipment, the girls answered 330 calls, drove 6731 miles, worked 2012 hours. Sixty-four members of the corps worked on the ambulance, two of them working more than 200 hours, six more than 100 hours, and six from 75 to 100 hours. This outstanding work won the Klamath girls first honors in the state. They deserved it, and they deserve high honor at home. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 The day's news t t fu"jo n.AKooixiijij uie perpiexmes oi human existence ... A drinking clique of high schoolers in Washington has reached the front pages with escapades which rather indicate that they are in control and not to be trifled with ... A gang of Halloween marauders worked through my neighborhood with unusual zeal for destruction and when detected and accosted by the citizens qf my community, asserted their rights to destroy on Halloween; in fact tho citizens melted away and the vandals wcro rather invited to maintain their rights. Personally, I wanted to take their soap away from them on the ground that they could not possibly be wanting to use it to wash their faces, and I thought tho possession of soap on Halloween rather showed conclusively that they wished to rub cars and windows in a way which would represent their personal signature of destruction permanently. They won. They kept their soap. They said it was their right. The citizens whose property had been dam aged retired to their houses, obviously elms- tened by these youngsters with rights . , . The run of news in your paper and mine shows the same tendency of domination by youth over teachers, parents, and even police author. ties. Why Is This? WHY is this? In my younger days I saw kids carving their initials in the wrong places, generally in washrooms. They put obscene words there. Now they write these in soap on your front screen. Also what is wholly different, they assert their right to do it. Not onlv that, but they get that right. In our community they get it now. I will admit ouc community is about as badly run as any in the world. We seem really to need Kus sian domination and communism or fascism. Each individual peculiarity of the people is played upon by those who make it their busi ness to do so (bus companies, so they will not furnish service; electric light companies so they will have the upper hand, and so on down the line of despicable little selfish interests.) Why in my community the Baptists hate the Presbyterians, who in turn hate the Episco palians who in the usual order hate the Catho lics, and hates beyond these common ordinary distrusts are used by the controlling authorities so that the people never win. The democrats hate the republicans and vice versa. The shopkeepers hate the customers, etc. Practically everyone hates everyone else, for some reason or another. This is America on its worst side. That I know, can understand and accept, but when I see morons, such as these children are, using such hates and otherwise escaping com mon punishment for misdeeds; rising above decency to impose their destructive will upon adults, indeed asserting and getting a right to do so I begin to wonder, as you all have, con fronted in one way or another with the same circumstances. SIDE GLANCES Counsels Democratic Way I WROTE a book on this subject, "The Ease Era," which is selling like a new notion eagerly wanted and grasped by the people. It counseled the democratic way of handling these modern offenses against society, in contradis tinction to what might be called the Mrs. Roose velt way. What I have to say now is a suiiix or addendum to that book. Frankly I am wondering if appeals to reason are possible; if the democratic way will suffice, whether we need a youth drait and domination to make people believe, as you all do when you see injustice imposed upon you. But when such doubts assail me, and I wish for a dictator who would really put vandalism in its place and bury injustice in its moronic grave, I realize that what is wrong is that the forces of true democracy are not wonting. Thev are asleep or down. I know then, that what is wrong is that evil merely has gotten the upper hand. Delusions have seized righteousness. Common honesty has lost its grip So what? Turn us over to a dicta tor? Not by any concepts of Insane imagination. The thing to do is to assert decency and maintain it. Democracy does not allow that morons shall rule. It is all a question of in fluence. Hitler made his youth believe service to the state was their only aim, and he kept them that way. We have erroneously allowed our youngsters to believe evil influence is democracy, that crooks, sexual impulses, selfish interests, are justifiable because you .should be "under standing," as Mrs. R. has said. We let those influences run our children and ourselves. Time To Assert Good THIS is a crisis. It is time to assert good. Adults must not melt away in the face of childish assertions of influence. , If that kind of people run your community, get yourself an organization of decent citizens. The trouble is not with democracy, but with the fact that decency is not working, does not impose its will, is not assertive and belligerent, but is inclined to retire in the face of danger. You must fight for right, or you will never get it. There must be no other thought in your imagination. Do not permit schemers to use your likes and dislikes. Think only of your own ultimate welfare. If you confront a force of evil, know that righteousness is stronger. This is a new world. Know your children, know your schools, know the people about you. Never permit impositions upon your intelli gence by anyone. All that is needed is for the decent people to arise and assert themselves. Always there will be two influences in the world, the influence for good and for evil. This is not only Christian doctrine; It is apparent. The forces of good shall not submit to the forces of evIL Don't take it. You are an Ameri can. No American is ever cowed, is ever forced to sling away to domination by morons, chil dren and fools. Arise and assert yourselves. That is all that is necessary to maintain that. SK IWIT WtA gCTVTCt, PL T.HTO.U..r.T.

Kiwanis International lists 115,000 members, the Lions ciubs have 155,000 and Rotary J.U,UUU Last week's prospect on freez ing damage was a little bit opti mistic. Some freeze did occur in Idaho but reports are conflict ing. One has it that Idaho Falls and north were caught with 15 per cent still in the ground: an other says the really affected area was Kigby and north with 5 per cent involved. Real diffi culty is not the quantity frozen. which probably is small, but the messy and sometimes impossible loo of grading out the frost. Con sequently, we still say total in come of the crop probably is little affected. However, Idaho marketings may show some un disclosed frost damage which can De pretty nard on prices no mat ter now strong the marKet, Other areas appear safe, or nearly so. Red River valley still is a little doubtful with all stor ages bulging and some digging to do. Twin Falls, Idaho, could be damaged some maybe some other areas. Shipping Rtport Shipments last week were down a little from the previous 7-day period with a 6-day aver age of 1060 cars. Significant de clines are reported in Colorado and Idaho, while Maine, Minne sota, New Jersey. Long Island and Washington increased a lit tle. New Jersey movement is not particularly significant because almost half were government owned, probably consigned to al cohol. New Jersey is nearly through for the season. Long Is land has the long end about in sight, evidently still aided by Cuban demand. Cuban duty was restored November 1. however. and could cause some market re action when offerings move lo cally. Total shipments to date con trast rather sharply with last year. Only five important areas now snow an increase in spite of the vastly larger crop (Long island, Nebraska, Oregon, Wash ington and Wisconsin). All others are down, from a little to a lot. compared with the movement to this time last year chiefly Col orado. Idaho. Maine and the Red River valley. This deserves some thought. Last year's moderate crop moved out faster at fancy prices. This year's big crop is pokey, and mostly at the floor. Actually this season is following the more normal pattern. Last year's drought brought a heavy demand for the late crop that developed earlier than usual, and the proportion marketed before January 1 was a record. On the market side, watch track holdings, which have risen lately. On October 15 there were only 901 cars reported on tracks in the reporting markets, but there were 1180 on October 29. This tends to confirm the belief that market channels are about full. Demand at shipping points may Bhow effects within a few days as there is a lag between supply in the terminal markets and tho time the effects are felt In the country. Demand and Prlcei Maine has been holding about steady with a better feeling. Red River valley reported very dull and weak with some shipments on consignment. Idaho strength ened again after the recent de cline. Michigan trading is dull, Wisconsin aoout steady. Color- rado dull. Upstate New York has netd aoout steady. Chicago reports steady for Ida ho and Washington Burbanks weaker for other offerings. New York trading has been dull for Eastern stock, dull and weaker lor westerns. Generally, how ever, current situation of ship ping point and terminal markets shows little change from last week. There is nothing this week to indicate a trend either a break or a rise. End of Horveit Completion of the harvest lets growers take a breather, look around, and figure on the future markets. If they go Into loans, shipments should decline and market stiffen. This would be about normal change as the low point normally is reached at har vest time, after which shipments taper on and markets show a seasonal rise. We cannot reconcile conflict. lng ideas about Western market ing prospects. Some trado re ports indicate a surolus. and con sequent trouble, if anv. will be In Nebraska and the West. Round up of expert opinion, however, holds otherwise. Crop reports show this area 44 per cent over average compared with 11 Dor ccntior an late states, flut stock currently is commandlnff nrnm. lum prices in all western states Colorado, Idaho and Klamath Basin. On the other hand, this is the arena in which prices would be expected to hold up best while customers are demanding the best quality and are willing to pay for it. Also, growth of west ern population has broadened western outlets and tho total western crop is only 17.6 million bushels over last year's very short crop. What we cannot figure vet is how to measure market effects of the cancellation of dehydra tion contracts, which affect Ida ho and Klamath moro In propor tion than other areas. Right now it all adds up to the prospect that Western U. S. No. 1 potatoes, especially Size A, should have a good season.

Diversion programs are pro ceeding about the same as a week ago, except for starch which has hit its stride in Maine. Propccts are brightening for export business to Canada, Belgium and Franco. Wo cannot tell yet what the arrangements will be whether the govern ment will buy and resell, subsi dize, or just encourage commer cial sales. It appears assured. however, that some government aid will be needed to move large quantity into export. If so, price support procedure will prevail which means that dealers who wish to participate must be cer tified as paying support prices to growers.
