FRANK JKNKWI MALCOUM CPLCY EPLEY Editor Msnsslns Editor inierea u sawag cum auttat si Uu posiollic oi Klsmsia MrcS , irt Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY A LOT depend! on what time you bring up the subject of closed versus open muni cipal swimming pool. Mention cioseo pool m Die midst of a hot spell In Klamath's midsummer, and people stand up and denounce you as an ignoramus if not a lunatic. Propou an open pool on sny cold, windy day ther ire Quite a few of them and you'll be accused as a profli gate waster of the people's money andor a plain darned tool. We've pondered the subject many times, our own thinking Influenced by the meteorological conditions pre vailing at the moment. There's much to be said for an open pool the water and sunshine combination, the open air, the nostalgic reminder of the "old swim min' hole," the lack of mustiness and dark shadows characteristic of closed tanks. Limited Time ON the other hand, there is the bald-faced fact that outdoor swimming weather is strictly limited in the Klamath country, and that a sheltered pool would provide swimming facilities the year around against a relatively short time that people would make use of an open tank. On the basis of the return in swimming time on the investment, the city recreation com mittee has in mind a sheltered pool for Klamath Falls. The committee has argued the subject many times, and has felt pressure from the contenders on both sides (depending a lot on the prevailing weather). Its current thinking favors a pool with a lid on it However, the architectural plans have not been completed, and the committee leans to ward a scheme whereby one or two sides of the pool can be made wide open in warm weather, with a full side of glass and ample sun-decks within a few steps of the water's edge. It would be even better, of course, to have a pool that can be covered in cold weather and opened up completely in summer. Cost of such a mechanical wonder, at this time, would probably be prohibitive. Argument Goes On ANOTHER suggestion has been that the city start with an open pool, and if trial shows its use is too restricted by weather con ditions, cover it later on. We discussed that with the committee last night, but a majority favored going ahead with the plan for a cov ered pool equipped with extensively windowed sids that can be opened up to let in the sun xhit e and fresh air in warm weather. however, the specific plans for the proposed municipal swimming pool are not included in the ballot title on the $175,000 levy proposed for the November election. In other words, the city will not be bound to build a closed pool by that vote. Even If the levy passes, we can still argue lustily for a closed pool on cold days and an open pool on warm days until construction actually starts. City officials might happen to meet on a torrid afternoon and agree on an open pool. Arthur J. Voye ARTHUR J. VOYE was a builder. He had an important part in the building of a great lumber industry In Klamath Falls. His leadership in his field was recognized by the pine industry, which made him head of its .principal organization, and by the war pro duction board in connection with the war work he did in the lumber industry. A. J. Voye, was a good citizen of this com munity, a good friend, and a sound industrialist. The World Today By DaWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst GREECE'S bitter effort in the United Nations membership committee to keep Albania from joining the world organization is the re flection of a mighty dangerous situation in the Balkans. Vassili Dendramis, Greek representative to the U.N. charges that Albania is "not a peace loving state'' as required for admission, and accuses her of staging 21 incidents on the Greek Albanian frontier. The two countries, he main tains, have been at war since 1940. On the other hand Dr. Ali Kuci, resistance leader in Albania's wartime underground, denies these allegations and says the Greeks are "wag ing a war of nerves" in efforts to get northern Epirus which Athens demands be returned by Albania. He asserts Greece has provoked such border clashes as occurred. Russia Vs. Britain THIS embroglio between Greece and Albania, however, is of small importance in itself. What matters is that the gods of war, who through the centuries have favored the fiery Balkans as a center of operations, are playing a game in which these two small states are chessmen. In the background are two major world powers Russia and Britain which are eyeing each other closely, for the Soviet re gards the Balkans as its zone of influence, and England is bent on maintaining its domination of Greece as a vital politico-military base the last rightist beachhead on the Balkan peninsula. The situation is intricate, as befits the Balkans. Albania is to all intents an appendage of Yugoslavia which is ruled by Marshal Tito. The marshal basks in the favor of Moscow and the signs are that upon his shoulders rests the task of safeguarding red interests in Greece. Yugoslavia has a large military force along the Greek frontier. So does Albania. And across the border within Greece itself a strong corps of Greek communists has been established. Greeks Under Arms THE other side of the picture is this: the Greeks, I am told by a good source, have from 60,000 to 70,000 troops under arms, and many of these are in that northern area facing Yugoslavia and Albania. And Britain is said to have some 30,000 to 40,000 troops in Greece. One doesn't have to be the seventh son of the seventh son of a prophet to recognize that this situation, which at present basically is a conflict of ideologies, is also as explosive mili tarily as a block-buster. Should full-blown war come between Greece and the Albanian-Yugoslav allies on the north, no man could tell how far the conflagration might run. It easily could mean another world conflict. While both sides are eyeing each other across their gun-sights, each is busy politically. The communist cell in northern Greece works day and night to strengthen its ranks with the aim of gaining control of the Athens government ultimately. Meantime the Greek rightist gov ernment now in power is busy preparing for the plebiscite on September 1 to decide whether King George shall be recalled to the throne he fled in April of 1941 when the Germans took over.

Dolin's article on the " Whisk -erino Order of the Day" and I sincerely believe that all ar ticles published have fine points. I would, however, like to call the attention of M. D. Hanna nd S. M. Carter to a few obvi ous facts concerning their com ments. I don't believe drinking lemon juice for breakfast or be ing afraid to go out at night or possessing, or lacking, that good old American sense of numor even begins to enter the pic ture. Odd indeed how a little boy can shoot off a firecracker and finally back fence gossip has it that "Dick Tracy was chasing "Shoulders" down the street with a gun in each hand and an atomic bomb between his teeth. Lacking a sense of hu mor? A law against John Doe walking down the street with a beard 7 Dear authors, please lead Dolin's article again before further commentation and try to find the meaning behind the ar ticle and stop jumping the gun. This seems to be a bad habit most of us have. Personally, I think it' is .a lot of fun enter ing into such a contest along with your fellow man and get ting into the gaitey of the cele bration. (Attention Mr. Editor: What is a beard called when you only have one hair per square inch? Is there such a unit of area measurement?) I can find no mentioning in Dolin's article being unlawful for John Doe to take his beard out for an airing. I can find no mentioning of putting a climax on everyone else's fun. Insur ance is cheap and a husband's duty is to protect his family with insurance or other means of sup port. As for an individual stating that he possesses an unprintable opinion of someone I believe I would be utterly ashamed to reveal such a thing. I sincerely suggest that Han na' and Carter hereafter stop reading a single line of an ar ticle and try to cope with it en tirity. I do not know R. D. Dolm but I do believe his or her article was well written and I do be lieve it deserves serious thought. Yours Sincerely, L. F. GIPSON ! NO HOODLUM KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To i the Editor): Whn is fhic man P ( D. Dolin? Bet he never had a I good time in his life. I am one of the many who j mini II I onnn ,,r lah..,.nn the Centennial with a whiskerino contest. Of course, I'm a woman ana aon t grow whiskers, but my husband has a healthy-looking beard and he's no hoodlum or screwball. Mr. Dolin should have no wor ries about being picked up by the vigilantes as I am sure they Naval Reserve To Take Waves Lt. J. E. Bayus, officer in charge of the Oregon navy re cruiting service, announces that the navy department has au thorized the re-enlistment of woman naval reservists for in active duty. Those who are eligible are Waves who have been separated from the serv ice for reasons other than physical disability or having aependents under 18 years of age. As with male reservists, no physical examination is re quired, but an honorable dis charge is necessary. Applications will be received at all navy recruiting stations, as no Wave recruiting stations remain in operation. Portland Vote Urged On Civic Center. Plan PORTLAND, Aug. 6 iP) Passage of an enabling act to place a civic center proposal on the November ballot was recommended today by the ex ecutive committee of Mayor Earl Riley's civic center com mittee. An east side tract, adioinine Holliday park, was proposed as a possible site. ' STATIC By BILL JENKINS Men may be punished, by law, for a great many things, and for good cause. Murderers are hanged, thieves locked up, trai tors are shot and peeping Toms are shunned by their fellow men; but the worst criminal of them all goes free the man who phones you up at the crack of dawn and then hangs up before you can answer. There is no defense against this crime and nothing the human will can- do to combat it. You're lying there, sound asleep the best sleep of the night, just before you know you have to start waking ud. Then, with a jarring persistency mat only tteii s invention can attain, the phone rings. You listen. It rings again, and again and again. "Maybe it'll go away if I turn over," you think. You turn over. The phone rings and rings again. Finally, your nerves raw and sticking out about a foot all over, you fling yourself from the bed, dash madly to the phone, which is usually hidden with a fiendish cleverness that you can barely figure out in your half drugged condition. And the phone is suddenly still. No whis per of sounds comes for an in stant, and then, clear as the lark on the wing, the dial tone. If the punishment were drawn to fit the crime, as has 'been so excel lently suggested by our lyrical friends, burning at a slow fire would be all too easy a death for the man who huntf up that phone just before you lifted it from the cradle. . Native dignity is a thing to admire, and a trait to envy in the person who possesses it You may find it in a tramp, in a king, in a half-pint or in a de formed cripple, but nowhere will you find it to a larger degree than in a pelican. How any bird, or beast or man for that matter, can maintain a professorial look while trying to balance that huge bill and ungainly body on a slippery rock in the river is a miracle. But nowhere do you find more dignity, on the ground or in the air. A tiny breath of romance leaked out of the old world this week when the story of the rajah of Bhowal was broadcast to the world. Ramendra Narayan Roy, the rajah, died, was mourned by his people and placed on a huge funeral pyre. The torch was put to the pitchy pile and the mourn- Army Confirms Soldier Death Final confirmation of the death of Howard Findholt Bun ell, T4, army air corps, was received August 5 by his mother, Mrs. M. P. Crowder, Klnmath Falls, in a telegram from the war department. Bunell was reported missing July 27, in China. A graduate of Klamath Union high school, Bunell entered the air forces and was sent over seas early in 1944. After com pleting 36 missions over Italy, he was transferred to China the next year following a short fur lough home. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. John Feeback of this city and his mother. Bunell brother, Charles, was lost on the USS Jarvis. ers left the scene. A heavy rain and thunderstorm came up. how ever, extinguished the fire and revived the "dead" rajah, who was picked up by passing monks. He lived with the monks for some years and then, an amnesia victim, wandered the country side as a beggar. Suddenly, his memory returned, he returned to his kingdom, and was recog nized by his mother as the rajah and her son. His wife, however, claimed he was a dead duck, and held out for that end for 25 years, until the British govern ment finally pronounced the rajah alive, legally. Six days after he won his 25-year-old fight the rajah died. This time there was no rain to revive him. The story at least gives a lift to lovers of romance. There is still adven ture and glamour to be found in the world. Do you suffer 0NTHLY FEMALE PAIN?
