Today's Roundup

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.

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.

A SOLUTION OFFERED
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (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,
