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.

from Mother England and set up
a nation of their own.
Their dream WORKED. 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.

wars and GO TO WORK.

" 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.
