Occupancy Of
USO Viewed
At meeting scheduled for
t p. m., Saturday, the USO op
rations committee will make
decision concerning a request
from the Commercial Mainte
nance company that it be al
lowed to use the second floor
of thb building leased by the
USO at 11th and Walnut.
Ben Trippett of Commercial
Maintenance recently purchased
the building but until the ex
piration of the USO's lease, the
approval of the operations
committee is necessary before
Commercial Maintenance can
move into the second floor. If
the action is passed by the
committee, a recommendation
will be made to the national
USO, who will make the final
decision.
Here for the meeting will be
Maj. Henry H. Koerner, re
' cional supervisor of the Salva
tion Army USO, and Mrs. Clara
Alcroft, regional executive of
the national USO.
Other business to be taken
up at the nn;eting will be the
selection of five new members
to serve on the committee. Hal
A. Yetman, director of the local
USO, explained that formerly
the five positions were held by
an officer representing the
army men stationed at Camp
.Tulelake, two officers from the
naval air station, and two from
the Marine Barracks.
Since there is uncertainty
about the future of these mili
tary installations, according to
Yetman,, the committee will
fill the vacancies from the ci
vilian population.

fluenza was the most prevalent
disease in Oregon last week,
with 219 cases, the state board

Dav slews
(Continued tronV'Page One)
to the Pacific, and by our Mon
roe Doctrine we staked out our
claim to a sphere of influence
including the entire Western
Hemisphere. At the drop of a
hat, we'd have FOUGHT ANY
BODY who tried to stop us. Our
motto then was plainly: . "The
bigger they are, the harder they
fall."
We too struck terror to the
world's thrones and the old ways
of life. . .
THIS is the historical moral:
Neither we nor the French
RUINED THE WORLD. Instead
our systems of democratic gov
ernment and rights of the in
dividual BETTERED THE
WORLD immensely.
If vou will read your history
thoughtfully, you will find in its
pages much reason to hope that
we shall be able to get along
peacefully and profitably with
a Russia that lias only barely
emerged from serfdom and is
filled with the - historic fervor
of LIBERATED peoples.
We and the French calmed
down greatly after our post
revolutionary upsurge of nation
alism. It is probable that Rus
sia will do likewise.

New Pine Creek
Although the weather was
not too favorable and many
grangers stayed home around
their farm fires, still there was
a fair turnout at the East Side
grange meeting held last Satur
day evening with nearly every
newly elected officer being pres
ent, as well as nearly all the re
tiring officers and others. The
new officers are an enthusiastic
bunch and an ambitious program
for the coming year was out
lined. Prodded by the drive
and forcefulness of big, six-foot
Lute Miller, newly elected
master, surely a year of accom
plishment lies ahead for the
local organization.
The matter of either enlarging
the present lodge room or build
ing on a sizable kitchen was
thoroughly discussed and action
upon the matter will no doubt
be taken in the near future when
materials and workmen are
available and a program for fi
nancing the undertaking has
been worked out.
The need for a grange park,
fully equipped with swimming
pool, playground apparatus,
tables, camp stoves, ball dia
mond, and ample beautification
development was expounded and
with the site up the canyon of
some 30 acres already picked
out and available, it is expected
that action on this project will
be taken some time during the
year.
A youth program was also
talked up and something in the
way of special educational and
amusement facilities will be
worked out for the young folks i
of the grange which group : is
rapidly growing.
A March of. Dimes ball .is
scheduled for this Saturday eve
ning, January 12, at the grange
hall with the public cordially in
vited to attend. Each grange
lady is to bring sandwiches and
a salad of some kind. Tickets
for the dance will be 60 cents
and a well-rounded plate lunch
will be 50 cents. Music will be
provided by the East grange or-1
chestra. A very amusing pro
gram, was put on following the
meeting, a mgnngnt of wnicn
was a skit- put on by the Ray
mond Fisher family featuring a
spasm of back seat driving.
The Home Economics club
met last Thursday afternoon
with six .members and four
youngsters present, Mrs. Thelma
Butler being the hostess. The
newly elected secretary, Mrs,
Benefiel read the minutes. Mrs.
Louise Miller, newly elected vice
president,- who assumed chair
manship in the absence of the
president, Mrs. Lillian Reid,
gave a report on the state grange
home economics meeting that
was recently held at the Thomas
Creek grange. The ladies voted
to dispense with payment of dues
into the club for the coming
year.
Refreshments were coffee, ap
ple pie and whipped cream. The
next hosess will be Mrs. Ethel
Deter.
Mrs. Sarah Johnston recently
was visited by her two nephews
Lloyd Bothcll and Bill Drew of
Massachusetts. The boys were
away on a short leave from
Camp Shoemaker, Calif., where
they are still in the navy. Both
lads served overseas in the
South Pacific theater.
Mr. and Mrs. Glen Smith
visited over the weekend with
Mr. and Mrs. Gran Riggs. They
had recently returned from a
trip to Los Angeles.

Earl Heuvel, former Klamath
Falls police chief, will be tried
In circuit court 'here January
28 on the charge of sodomy on
the person of Virginia Rose Gib
son for which he was indicted in
February of Inst year, court rec
ords revealed today. .
This Is the second of four
morals charges for which Heuvel
was indicted. He has already
been acquitted of one sodomy
count by a circuit court jury.
Virginia Rose Gibson, the com
plaining witness in the case coin
ing up, has been subpoenaed to
appear by the district attorney's
office and the subpoena served
on her December 3 by Charles
A. U Ren, state policeman, at
The Dalles, Wasco county.

state's witness who could not be
located to testify in the ex-chief's
first trial two months ago. The
complaining witness in that case,
Bernice Huff, has been sub
poenaed at her present home in
Vero Beach, Fla., to appear as a
state witness in the pending
trial.
The indictment upon which
the coming trial is based, alleges
that Heuvel committed a crime
against - nature on the Gibson
woman on November 10, -1944,
while he was still the Klamath
Falls police chief.
He posted $5000 bail in this
count on August 21 of last year.
