Herald and I the "" Newe Puhllahed ever afternoon except Sunday at Jepla Hade and Pine elrrole, klamath rain. Oregon, by th. H.rald Puullehins Co. and the Newi Publlahlng Company. Member, Aeioclated PreH Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY COMMUNITY fund executive committeemen met this week to survey the results of Kinori financial drives in this community fc.MIIMa.u Biid to decide wlicuior ims method of raisin, money for worthy projects should be con tinued. Their decision, after consid erable discussion, was to go ahead with a combined drive, at least on a local level. Whether the drive will be ex tended in the future to Include other than local beneficiaries will be determined later. . i . Some years agu, me u.r FPL.EY Scout, Girl Scouts and Camp Fire fund drives were combined, and with great success. j j Then came the war chest, bringing into the picture various national agencies. The major national beneficiary was USO, but there were a number of others, including those which do relief and similar work in foreign lands. The war chest was tried one year here with out connection with the drive for local bene ficiaries. It fizzled. ' . For the last two years, the war chest, local beneficiaries, and several state agencies which customarily make fund campaigns here, were all combined in one drive. The first year, the goal was reached, after it had been adjusted downward. The second year, the drive fell considerably short. - a Go Ahead DESPITE these experiences, however, the executive committeemen gathered this week came to a conclusion that the commun ity chest idea has been properly launched in Klamath Falls and should continue. The feel ing existed that the numerous national bene ficiaries some of which were little known here had tended to pull down the whole drive below the established goals. The committeemen were firmly of the opin ion that there would be no question of the success of a combined campaign here for strictly local projects Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Salvation Army, etc. They were not certain how much farther, if any, the effort should go. There are unquestionably worthy state and national projects that should receive local assistance, but experience has indi cated that making the combined drive too com prehensive is a handicap. This problem will therefore be approached carefully when a new community fund organization is launched late this month. There is another important point. People who will work like Trojans for a pet project say Girl Scouts are inclined to indifference when the Girl Scout campaign is combined with others. People just can't be enthusiastic about everything. It is therefore advisable not to try to- spread the program too far. Perhaps there are certain state and national projects, about which suf ficient is known here, to qualify them for a part in the community drive. But it has been proved that it's not a good idea to take in everything in sight. a Dangerous THE recent fatal shooting Incident at Tulelake indicates the need for a new warning to replace that old one about never pointing an unloaded gun at yourself it may be loaded. " The modern adaptation, based on the dangerous GI prank called "Russian roulette" should read: "Never point a loaded gun at yourself it may be loaded." Information brought out at the inquest nt Tulelake yesterday indicated that Clyde Gun dcrsen, the victim of the gun trick, was fascin ated with Russian roulette. Mr. Gundersen, it was reported, on certain previous occasions had demonstrated the trick of spinning a re? volver cylinder one shell in the chambers and pulling the trigger with the barrel pointing at his head. ' There are stories that sometimes GI's in the war theaters actually bet their lives against the possibility that the loaded chamber would always stop out of firing position but doing nothing to control it. However, the usual trick was to stop the cylinder in a safe position with a finger, hidden from the observer by the gun. Thus it became a sort of sleight-of-hand per formance, with the demonstrator appearing to take chances when he didn't. Mr. Gundersen's death, as interpreted by witnesses and the inquest jury, emphasizes that it s still foolish business, under any circum stances, to point a gun at anything, including your own head, unless you Intend to do damage with the weapon. The World Today By D.WITT MacKENZIE Associated Press World Traveler MEDEMBLIK, Holland, Feb. 13 From the top of the great dyke which holds bacK the aggressive waters of the Zuider Zee there stretches out before you on the land side as far as the eye can reach a scene of devastation that is logged in United Nations records as one of the meanest war crimes of the nazis. This was the flooding of the great Wieringer meer farm colony of 48,000 acres by dynamiting the dykes and letting in the Zuider Zee. Three villages and 512 farms were wiped out. The Germans did this without military reason but solely as an act of hate on April 17, 1945, just before their surrender. But you can't beat the Dutch that way, as Mrs. Mack and I learned with deep satisfaction during a tour of much of the area with Gov ernment Supervisor A. Ovinge. Today, only 10 months after the flooding, the great electric pumps of the development have drained the land, and the farmers already are starting to plow for the 1946 crop. To be sure, the snug homes and barns have been destroyed and the farmers with their families live miles away in surrounding towns, but the land hasn't been ruined because, forsooth, the waters of the Zuider Zee aren't salt. a e Colony Brand New THE colony was brand new, for the land was reclaimed from the sea only 15 years ago. The government had built the tidy houses and ample barns and had constructed three villages as well. The colonists rented from the govern ment. The farmers and their wives were youthful folk just starting out in life. The whole great area throbbed with youth, and the birthrate was so heavy that babies grew on every bush. The land blossomed. The colonists were happy and the government was as proud as punch over its model experiment. Into this Arcadian scene stalked the beast. The Bosche long had hated the colonists because the latter were anti-nazi and there . were many underground workers among them. So the invaders, even though they were about to surrender, flooded the happy Eden. The Hitlerites blew two huge gaps In the tall dyke and the little Dutch boy's thumb couldn't cope with that. The flood tore through the openings and covered the land to a depth of 15 feet in places. The Germans did notify the colony a few hours in advance so that there was no loss of human life and only two per cent of the cattle were drowned. But the lovely farm houses and the villages with their handsome churches and public buildings large ly dissolved in the waters. Even the trees were killed.

Contributlecie following theee rules, are warmly wei- HOSE PROBLEM KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To the Editor) I'm writing in be half of all working women in Klamath Falls. We hope you can help us. We are in dire need of hose. The department stores of our city all have hose at va rious times and put them on sale anywhere from 9 a. m. until 4 p. m., the very hours most of us are at work. The housewives of Klamath Falls are always on hand to get every pair, one wo man was heard to say, "I've six pair of nylons now but I don't guess it will hurt to have some more." That leaves us, the work ing women, to go to work hose less, or with so many runners in our hose you would almost think they were lace. Moe's, The Women's Store, is the only store that gave us a chance, when last fall they put hose on sale for working women only. I'm asking if more stores won't give us a chance at their hose, which I'm sure will be greatly appreciated by every working woman in Klamath Falls. MRS. H. R. WILLIAMS. 5249 Miller, Klamath Falls.

Court Orders New Trial SALEM, Feb. 13 (IP) The state supreme court ordered a new trial today in a Multnomah county case in which Sylvia Shaw had been awarded $8000 for injuries she received June 18, 1944, when she stepped into a hole while entering Jantzen Beach park. The court's decision, by Jus tice Percy R. Kelly, reversed Circuit Judge Louis P. Hewitt of Portland. She collected the damages in circuit court from the Hayden Island Amusement company, but the verdict was reversed by the high court on grounds that Judge Hewitt erred in instructing the jury.
