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

More recently, since operation ot tne line was

lem. but nothing has been done.
With three more deaths fresh in their minds,

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.

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.

that market channels are about

growers take a breather, look
around, and figure on the future
