April 8 Mr. Truman and VV his roconverter John Snyder have been bragging that the "production of civilian goods .i .w lms readied the peak of all time. , ..ront in nrove bv some unexplained generalized figures on income and dollar vol ume that production nas dclmi mme man stored and reconversion accomplished. "Point en Thpre are tricks in it, to wit: A foremost weekly index of actual produc tion from a nongovernmental source places our output for the week ending raarcn v ioj mr,Drrt with 1 43 a vear ago and about 127 for 1941. Miscellaneous car loadings are less than a year ago, as are steel, electric power and lumber production, but "other car loadings and paperboard production are above a year "Messrs. Truman and Snyder did not tabulate artual volume of production, but only dollar ...lmnne nnri illPOniB. Slid tllCY lliade 110 allOW' ances for price increases. Furthermore, they said onlv that "civilian" production was at all time "peak. There is no way of telling how ot, nf th ahove-cited production is sun and marine, but a portion must be, somewhat greater than the figures must indicate. 3 i EPLEY ; cates how bad things might ! get again, even in the current year, j .One thing that can be said for this season i we -haven't had much- of. that false spring stuff- that raises hopes and then blasts them i with a blizzard. When the weather has been ' good this spring, it has also been threatening, ' keeping everything on a realistic basis. Even in this second April week, we must look forward to only occasional touches of spring for a few more weeks. But things are growing : now, the grass is turning green, the fishing ' season is around the corner. What happens I In the weather line this time of year can't i blot out the truth that it's a great country. Keep your shirt on and your coat over it. . " '.. Music Lovers KLAMATH Union high school and Klamath Sacred Heart academy music students did themselves proud at the Southern Oregon music festival at Ashland last week. Both groups ! came through . with numerous superior ratings, I and Andy Loney, the local public school music I director,' is so enthusiastic that he is consider i ing sending the KUHS groups to the national ! competitive events for Class A Oregon schools f at Eugene in May. This is going to take more money than is available from regular sources. About $375 . will -be needed. In these times, that is not enough to be a serious obstacle if these young i sters deserve the chance at the national honors. This writer, or Lois Stewart of our office, ' will be glad to talk to anyone who would like to help out on this little project. Malin Comes Through ; v. 1ALIN community, which has a habit of : yl doing things in a big way, came through ! Sunday with a rousing celebration of the . homecoming of its scores of service men and ' women.' ' The' affair took the shape of a get-together hour at the Broadway hall and fine of those ; terrific Malin dinners at the high school. There - was, of course, a large attendance. Smaller communities have the advantage in : projects of that kind, being able to throw one big party that takes in everybody. But a lot of smaller communities might easily overlook : the opportunity that was seized,, and made the .-. most of, by the good folks at Malin. ..-' I Interest '. D ORRIS is having a council election Tues day, and Editor Robert Gross of the Butte Valley Star is to. be commended and con . gratulated on the fair manner in which his paper has handled ' the ' advance coverage of this local event. There are five candidates for three offices, and an exceptional volume i of political , activity for this, period when po i htical interest seems generally at a low ebb. Mr. Gross sees a hopeful sign in the fact , that there is competition for the Dorris council j offices. It indicates, he says, that Dorris citi zens are interested in their city government, i He thinks there will be a good turnout at the ; polls Tuesday. Situation Bad PRUJJUCEKS themselves tell me the situation is bad. Ford publicly closed his plant lor a week tno very uay the president spoke, be cause he could not seep enough steel on hand to warrant continuous operations. Every pro- hoc turn same trouble in one way or anotner. Manutacturers cannot get little tilings, An air conditioning maker linos his particular kind of steel tor certain parts difficult to obtain because the steel companies win. noi manu facture mucn of it, saying they lose $15 a ton it hppanse of the OPA ceiling. The steel companies are producing other more profitable lines, men me air conaiuuiung man uuuo a time he cannot get motors, unds a shortage of bearings due to strikes, cannot get produc tion of a special copper boit wnicn is essential. Hi nrnanetion line oDerates off again, on again, oft again and the doctors are operating on the manmacturer. As far as "civilian services", are concerned, thpre are not anv restored around here. Clean ers rami ire 3 to t weeks to clean a suit. Skirt- makers! anrf manv other lines inform their customers flatly: "We are not taking any more orders." They will not even consiaer delivery months hence. Parts for auto repairs are un available throughout the United States in some vital cases. A tailor took an order for a suit the first of last November and gave the first fitting at the end of March five .months later. He will not promise the suit by summer. Some outfitters are already stopping orders for sum mer suits imagine it, next summer's suits. Meat supplies . in Washington are getting bad again, only inferior grades of a few lines hav ing been available the past few Weeks. : ; ' " Production Not Restored THERE are no autos, coal, refrigerators, nylons, and only a few radios. A con siderable (say 10 to 15 per cent) improvement in sales-stocks can be noted in many lines, and a bare beginning toward restoration is notice able. The experience of the average citizen in these parts will strictly deny, however, any claim that production has been restored in "civilian services." Now there has been a great acceleration in dollar volume of production in such lines as liquor (but. not good liquor), department store sales and some particular food products, and these no doubt caused Mr. Snyder's figures to swell to the conclusions he induced the president to make from them. But if you figure a 25 to 50 per cent increase in such items (I have noticed in my purchases price increases as high as 400 per cent) even the visible results of greater production in restricted lines do not loom formidably when compared with the job of sizing the production bottleneck up to demand. As measured with demand, we cannot yet begin to speak of pro duction." ' But if civilian goods and services are at an all time peak and going higher in the next few months to satisfy demands, then, Mr. Truman will not need his OPA regulations much be yond June 30, the date at which they are scheduled to expire. If the shortages continue. and no fulfilling relaxation of them is yet dis cernible here, OPA will be needed for many a month and perhaps another year or more. As Mr. Truman simultaneously demanded OPA, I judge, just Between us, he does not anticipate the volume of production we need, anytime soon. SIDE GLANCES mm loom.

BOYLE'S NOTEBOOK By HAL BOYLE ATHENS, April 8 (AP) A man knocked on my hotel door and for a half hour gave me back my faraway childhood. When he first came in, he stood there sharing with me that lost helpless feeling two people have when they meet and have no sense of recogni tion and yet feel they should know one another. ' 1 He was a middle-aged man of medium height and prema turely white hair. He had a slight, dark moustache. His face wore an air of puzzlement. In his hands he hold a cable from his son in Missouri saying was in Athens and was an old acquaintance and he should look me up. l. looked uncertainly at Char ley Rounes across the space of small hotel room and he looked back at me and the space be tween us was bieeer than anv hotel room.

' Remembered That broke the dike of mem ory. Each city boy's life is built around a street corner iust as oases are social centers of des erts and for more than a dec ade in the springtime of my life 31st and Woodland in Kansas City, Mo., was the capital of rav world. ' 'I remember vmt nn, rkow ley," I said. . ' He said he recalled me, too, but I doubt it because there was no reason he should. Char ley and his partner, Mike Veil; tros, used to operate "A Colo nial Lunch" when I used to stand on that corner almost 25 years ago. It was a warm and wonder ful place to crawl into on blus tery Saturday nights, when the wind was chill. Customers were few and Sunday morning papers were heavy. Chili was 15 cents worth of steaming heaven, but I was looking toward college and only had a dime to spend. Charley and Mike always brought a bowl to me full and overflowing with meat and beans, nevertheless, and 1 grate- luny remembered those two Greeks more than I do Pericles and Socrates, whom I read about in school. Returned to Greece Mike is still in Kansas City. Charley, who emigrated to America from Arcady in 1907 at the age of 15, returned to Greece in 1931, "Business was slow, and I thought it was the best time to come back for a visit," he said. His wife fell ill, and he has been in Athens ever since. When the Germans came in they took over Charley's small restaurant here, and since then he has trav eled a rocky road. His savings have' melted slowly. Charley wants, if his wife's health permits, to come this Snow Demolishes Lake Summer Home The Lake o' the Woods sum mer home of Dr. and Mrs. K Cecil Adams was completely de stroyed when a heavy bank of snow on the roof crushed the porch and carried the remain der of the structure with It. The cabin, located on the west side of the lake, will be re built when the season opens, Adams said. The residence was located between summer homes owned by Dr. Leslie W. Peate and Dr. W. R. Boyd, both of Klamath Falls. IIKRAI.n NKW, Klawalh t Q. HNHr, April i, District Head pi " )) l . J).

He wants to renew his old neigh borhood acquaintanceship with Mr. Hammer, the Jewish shoe maker, and "Pop" Hudson, the druggist, still doing business at the old stands. "America is the only land," he said when I took him out to lunch two days later. During the war he used to 1 risk the death penalty by tuning his radio to the American station at Algiers to listen to big league Diiseoau scores and suceehes bv President Roosevelt, often stay ing up until 3 a. m. to get pro grams.
