Klamath County Relief
Load Hits 5-Year High
The relief load of the county
welfare office for this month is
heavier than for any month in
the past five years, figures at the
welfare office reveal, and the
county commission has set aside
$6000 for general assistance in
March.
At present 106 cases are re
ceiving financial help, among
them many persons classified as
employable. All these are cur
rently registered with the em
ployment office and are expect
ed to take jobs if any open.
Also receiving aid are a num
ber of ex-servicemen, some dur
ing the period while they are
waiting for their unemployment
insurance benefits to begin.
The case load now is higher
than in any month since March,
1941, with 106 families receiving
case work services only.
In addition to the $6000 for
general assistance, the county
commission approved an expen
diture this month of $8650 for
old-age assistance, $1700 for aid
to dependent children and $66
for blind aid. v
NO THANKS
LOS ANGELES. March 6 &)
A government agency gave the
city school system two carloads
of potatoes and Business Mana
ger A. S. Nibecker a headache.
The potatoes came free with
the proviso they be served at
school cafeterias.
That's all very well, says Nib
ecker, but costs of unloading,
peeling and serving the potatoes
would overrun the cafeterias'
budget.
RED CROSS
By EARL WHITLOCK
Yets, indeed, I know that In-
. come tax comes this month
know the cost of living is going
up all tne time.
. I know you've
got lots of uses
for your money.
But, just the
same I want
-you to do your
duty by Red
Cross. No, let's
say "do your
pleasure."
Because your
Red Cross con
tribution ought
to be a pleasure. . Surely there
is no expenditure you could
make which will benefit hu
manity more greatly.
In drouth, in flood, in fire or
in earthquake, in China or in
Chicago, the Red Cross is ready
to help the helpless. And it
doesn't ask who you are, or
where you hail from, or if
you've filled out your applica
tion blank or what party you
voted for in the last election.
, Red Cross asks only, "Do you
need help?" and says, "Here is
that help."
Dig, deep on this one! Make
your contribution a good one!
Next Monday Mr. Whitlock,
of the Earl Whitlock Funeral
home, will comment on "Un
paid, Unsung, Unappreciated."

NENT peace, but at least long
periods of temporary peace can
be brought about by those who
have the power. Rome, when
she had the power, enforced the
Pax Romana (peace of Rome.)
Britain, when she had the power,
enforced the Pax Brittanica
(peace of Britain.)
Temporary peace is better
than NO peace. If we and the
British peoples work together to
HOLD THE POWER, we can en
force another PAX which, be?
cause we are reasonably decent
and tolerant, will be far better
for mankind than what will fol
low if we stay divided and weak.
(TON'T kiss off this proposal
for intelligent co-operation
between Britain and America
without serious thought.
