Fund Drive Falls Short The executive committee of the Community Fund drive met last Thursday afternoon to offi cially wind up the drive, still about $24,000 short of the goal. Although no further solicita tions will be made for this drive, Clifford A. Dunn, acting chair man in the absence ot w. jl, Lamm, drive head, said contri- buttons are still welcome. Those received will be put to the pur pose of maintenance of tne ciri Scouts, Boy Scouts, Camp Fire, USO, Salvation Army and sev eral state agencies. "Only about $1.50 per person was required to reach the goal of this worthy drive and the amount of the shortage shows an : apparent lack of interest in or ganizations providing whole some recreation for boys and girls of Klamath county, Dunn stated. "Most of the business firms which were contacted con- tributed considerably more than $1.50 per person, leaving a small balance of the burden to individ uals whose response was not so generous." Anyone still desiring to have a share in supporting the var ious agencies mentioned in the fund, may mail their donations or bring them in to tne Klamath County chamber of commerce, 323 Main.

The nation they founded spread to the west, reaching in time to the Mississippi. Here again the VISION OF THE ORIENT re curred. Why not, bold spirits reasoned, leap clear across the deserts to the Pacific Coast and there find ports and found cities to carry on the CHINA TRADE advantageously. The ox-team pioneers took to the trail to REALIZE the vision. SPURRED on by the centuries old dream of trade with the Orient, they reached the Pacific. They found the ports. They built the cities. But the China trade proved disappointing because China meanwhile had fallen from its ancient eminence and become a battleground foi warring fac tions that checked progress, im poverished the Chinese people and so lowered their standards of living that their buying power was reduced to near the vanish ing point. Again the vision faded. ONCE more it is dancing be fnrn nnr nvpa o n H wa v ihf prospect of a REBORN China that might quit fighting factional wars and GO TO WORK. It fascinates us now. as it has fascinated us always. m m m TOE are doubtful of our present " foreign policies perhaps because we are not yet permitted to know what they are. But If our government can bring peace to China, put the Chinese back to work and make of them AGAIN a nation of the world's most highly prized customers, with a feeling of kin ship and goodwill toward us who have helped them back onto the road of progress and better liv ing, our foreign policy will have justified itself fully.
