Aaeoclated Preaa Member Audit Bureau Circulation EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY WHILE there is great public interest here in the important matter of making good use of the big Marine Barracks plant, there's still another wartime establish mcnt, still closer to the com . munity, whose possibilities for beneficial local purposes must not be overlooked. That is the USO layout in the Arcade garage building, at Eleventh and Walnut streets. The time is rapidly ap proaching when the USO will move out of these spacious, excellent appointed quarters, lie nMrlr fnr thf BPrvipP ITlPn Of the community concluded. !' Whether that will be followed by a con- : structive program for use of these quarters for general community benefits depends upon the people of the town. The opportunities are there, and it is up to us whether we take advantage of them. e e Groundwork SOME groundwork has already been laid by members of the USO operating committee, who realize the great possibilities of this set , up as a center for social, recreation and other i activities. , It is possible, we understand, to reserve the i ground floor of the building for such purposes for a reasonable rent for a period of one or "two years. Ben Trippett, new owner of the building, has indicated sympathetic interest in the suggested public purposes of the ground floor of the big structure. Here are 10,000 square feet of space, already remodeled at an expense of thousands of dol lars for recreational and other purposes in line with suggested community use of the building. Possibly, furniture and other equipment in ine piani.may De savea lor local use. mere are recreation rooms, a lunch counter, office space, and many other facilities already there and available for Immediate use if the program is worked out. ! e Get Together WHAT is needed now Is to get together all the people and organizations who are already, or should be, Interested in this pro ject, and get something started. The city recreation committee, and new YMCA-YWCA groups, the Teen-Age club offic ers and advisory committee, fraternal organiza tions interested in public welfare projects, and the USO operating committee are among those which come to mind. The list is probably not complete, but these could start it. Down at Corvallis, where a big USO was established in connection with the operation of nearby Camp Adair, a similar project has been initiated. As we hear the reports from there, they have more serious problems in ob taining use of the property than exist here, but they are going ahead with vigor. Let's not let this chance slip. By DtWITT MacKENZIE Associated Prtig World Traveler AMSTERDAM, Feb. 12 There' could be no better way of giving you our outstanding impression of ilollund than to introduce you to the widow of Wervershoef, for she repre sents Uic stoutness of heart and self-sacrifice which brought this little lovely country of canals and windmills through the frightfuluess of Hitlerite occupation. 1 am not going to tell you her name, for she is not famous or even widely known, though thousands who suffered under nuzl bru tality surely remember her in their prayers for her good deeds. Anyway the name does not matter, for she is a symbol. Mrs. Mack and I discovered the Widow of Wervershoef quite by accident. The story really began in Amsterdam as we were starting on a trip northward by motor. Our guide pointed out that the highway we were on was the route which less than a year ago was being taken daily by throngs of city dwellers who could not get food in Amsterdam and in desperation tramped or cycled far into the country in search of something to eat among the farms. e "The Hunger March" THEY called it "the hunger march," In it ' were people of all ages and conditions from old men and women to babies in prams, from beggars to folk carrying valuable jewelry for barter trade. It was some 25 miles into the agricultural zone and the round trip took several days a cruel journey for people weak from hunger, but there was no alternative, for folk were dying of starvation in Amsterdam. These people slept where they could, and they found food anything edible was food they took the long trail back to the great city. And the nazi soldiery used to hide along the way and rob these unfortunates of their hard won treasures which might mean the difference between life and death. Our chauffeur nodded as this explanation was finished and remarked that he had made the hunger march several times. He added quite incidentally that he had found a friend in a Wervershoef farm who always was ready to help the needy. Mrs. Mack and I asked him if he would introduce us to his benefactor and thus it came about that we finally knocked at the door of a tidy farmhouse and were given a warm welcome. We were surprised to find that our farmer was a woman a smiling, middle aged Dutch housewife surrounded by children. e e Dutch Underground Agents WELL, we saw the family picture., and talked about everything excepting the subject which she kept evading her bene factions. It was only when we were visiting her big cow barn for she is a dairy farmer that she inadvertently gave us a chance to get her story by remarking that during the nazi occupation Dutch underground agents lived beneath the great -haymow. That broke the ice and with the chauffeur's help we got the story by hard work. The widow not only had risked her life to help the underground cause but in that same haymow hunger marchers slept every night, unaware of the agents beneath them. Daily the widow took in these poor people, sometimes 20 or more at a time, but as she remarked simply: "They needed help." She not only , provided a place for them to sleep but they warmed themselves by her kitchen stove and she fed them as best she could from her supplies without cost. Even when she did not have sufficient food for her own family she still shared her home.

(To we tailor; ixne recent sen sational and unsavory trial in volving a former local police of ficer on a morals charge, which nas engaged tne puouc s atten tion so much of late was a very regretaDie ana unfortunate in cident, everyone will agree. The case brought unfavorable pub licity to this community which Is - already suffering from a somewhat lurid past owing to the numerous crimes committed here, especially those' of vio lence. Without attempting to areue the merits of the case just men- lionea in which a veraict was reached. I would like to 'offer pertinent criticism of certain conditions and make a suggestion . I.illfnt, !., Unix faulty situation. Che necessity for the trial might have been avoided had the system of local law enforce ment been different. Improved police methods could have been used to alter circumstances which would have prevented certain charges being made. Blame should not be laid to the police department alone but to the general public as well for failure to realize the neces sity for placing all women of fenders in the custody of a woman police officer who would be solely responsible for their care, treatment and punishment, during periods of detention. Had a woman officer been working with the police in the past no chain of events which led to the alleged immoral acts involving the police officer and women prisoners would have been possible. To avoid the recurrence of such a situation and prevent similar charges being brought at some future date the mayor should be immediately em powered io appoint a capame woman to act as police matron vested with the authority to name such assistants as she may require to fulfill her duties. She should have the power to arrest or cause to be arrested any woman suspected of unlawful acts and be able to question all women prisoners when such in terrogations must be made in private. Working with the police de partment and juvenile officers women should be a welcome ad dition to- the force. Police should welcome the handling of women prisoners by women be cause such an arrangement would relieve the police of the responsibility and embarras ment of such duty. Any assist ance given the juvenile officer in curbing juvenile delinquency should be most welcome too. Of particular help would a police matron be in questioning young girls. Smaller communities than this have police matrons. We must have one to prevent crime by women and combat criminal elements among women. To serve the best interests of the police department, the city, and women offenders, Klamath Falls needs a full-time police matron now. Tn fart, trp ruxHpri one yesterday. Let us not be ) without one tomorrow. Respectfully, DON V. CURTIS, 1335 Crescent. Weyerhaeuser Camp Aids 'Dime' Drive A fund amounting to $38.55 has been contributed to Klam ath's March of Dimes campaign by Weyerhaeuser camp where Doris Cooper served as commun ity chairman.
