' 111 - -aee nunc icm kims Kdltor Manajin Editor 1 Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY HAPPY NEW YEAR! We say it sincerely to all the readers of this column and the good friends ot rne Meraici and News scattered over the southern Oregon-northern Cali fornia region served by this paper. Our greetings go also to those renders who live at distant points and keep in touch with happen ings in the Klamath country through the millions nf Thl Tlnr- ald and News. EPLEY We will try, in 1947, to do a better job than ever in providing information, entertainment, and editorial assistance to worthy causes. Criticism, sug gestions, and comment are always wel come. PROGRESS AS we see it, 1946 has been a year of substantiiil community achieve ment. Not all objectives have been won. Community policy has not al wavs been as clearly outlined as it should have been, so that we could work toward well-established goals. But in general, progress has been made, and leadership in the region need apologize for little. Let us take a quick look at various departments o f community interest, from the standpoint of the old year and the new one now opening. To get off on an optimistic foot, con sider the extremely favorable situation here with respect to public debt. The county, the city, and the three school districts are now in the best condi tion, as far as debt is concerned, in at least two decades. City, county and KUHS district are virtually in the clear, and the county unit and school district No. 1 are in excellent shape. In the field of taxation, the year saw taxes on real property rise to a new high here. This is not entirely a local problem, however, and what happens in the state legislature will have a bearing on future tax trends. Locally, we need to continue careful budget-making and cautious considera tion of new financing enterprises. The local acceptance of pay-as-you-go methods of public financing has been most successful. The year saw the start of major airline operation into Klamath Falls. There are still problems to be worked out in connection with airport opera tion and finance, but much that has been hoped for in the way of post war aviation activity here is in sight. In the field of agriculture, we saw the beginning of a new era of in dustrial development in the processing of agricultural products. Here is some thing on which definite work can be done in the future, as it was done this year, especially by potato growers. Consideration should be given to the development of an expanding meat packing industry here. ... HIGHWAYS HIGHWAY development proceeded steadily in this area in the past year. There are signs now that all heads will get together on the trouble some cross-town problem, bringing as surance of early construction of the new north entrance. We need to make new and more contacts in California in order to coordinate the Klamath region's highway system with that of the neighboring state, and we need better highway signs in California pointing to this area. Klamath's property owners and bus! ness interests have done much in the improvement of business property in the city, and the downtown area has become something of which the entire community can be proud. Elimination ot more old buildings, and dressing up those worth saving, should go along with new construction in the coming year. The coming year should see some constructive steps in the field ot rec reation and juvenile delinquency pre vention, rne best minds of the com munity may well be called upon to muay tnese problems, By and large, Klamath has continued through many years a spirit of harmony in its public affairs. There have been flare-ups, but in general, we get along pretty well together, and ettle our differences without leaving permanent wounds. Let's continue on that line. That flow of color you see on Main street is the male citizenry sporting flwee Christmas ties bought for x by Kae female citizenry. Motion's Column By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 You can learn a lot from communist meeting. This one was a public gath ering fostered . by the District of Co lumbia communist party on the oc casion of the 28th anniversary of the Russian revolution. Tho occasion was staged in the auditorium of the Nation al Press club here, a hall which can be rented presumably by anyone who can furnish the comparatively high price. It Is one of the highest cost oratory halls in town. When you entered, you had to run the gauntlet of pamphlet venders who vocally advertised their wares like- newsboys on a busy corner. The pamphlets were about the world com munist movement, the Soviet and how good they both are. Incongruously these could be obtained by payment of a capitalistic American quarter or a price which seemed high enough to guarantee a repugnant profit to the communists. About 300 were in the audience. just about evenly divided between Negroes and whites. The whites ap parently thought tolerance mount gen iality, or race equality meant Indis criminate social intercourse (which tol erance does not), and made a rather chummy show of their rather shallow understanding. In fact, it was a little too chummy to be convincing, and suggested the communists have not for gotten their basic strategem for revo lution in the United States, which is to arouse the American Negroes, to cap italize all their ills, both Just or fancied, by using the Negroes for their purpose. It was apparent these Negroes were being used, for after a grim rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" (instead of the Third Internationale) the meet ing heard the first speaker, the local Negro leader of the communist party, cite his conception of race grievances in a strong manner. He was a force ful and strong speaker. As a matter of fact, the Negroes in the audience were somewhat better dressed and looked more intelligent than the chum my whites. His grievances were that Negro Christmas shoppers were per mitted to spend their money at down town stores, but not to sit down and eat there. He wanted that corrected. . . HITS TRANSIT FIRM HE also struck out at the local transit company for refusing to hire Negro platform men, the local telephone company for not ' hiring Negro operators and the local power company for refusing to hire' Negroes for jobs for which, he said, incy were suited. He was equally strong against the police, J. Edgar Hoover and lynch ings, but he was a little too short on campaign promises to be elected to anything. A Negro girl then sang a torch song and some sad ballads including one called "Strange Fruit" about lynch- ings and horrible aftermaths although it proposed no remedy and neglected to note they practically died out them selves before the recent race political troubles were forcefully stirred. This tuned up the meeting for the main speaker, a CP national committee white woman from New York who had volume and personality. She made it all sound easy. That was her line. There was a difference between Russia and the Soviet Union, she said, Rus sia was a state like Ohio or Kentucky (she did not mention Georgia). The Soviet Union was a number of states in a socialist economic sphere. She was for socialism wherever it started. She predicted socialism In the United States in our generation. People were turning away from capitalism because the capitalists betrayed the people dur ing the war, etc., etc., etc. It was not too thick for the audience. COLLECTION SHE did not mention dictatorship. Hers sounded like a socialist speech as h she was advocating something like the British Labor party socialism instead of Iron rule by Moscow. She did not mention that the capitalists won the war, even for Russia; that communism used the great machinery production of capitalism even on her own front because she could not pro duce enough herself to win. The white girl chairman took up a collection which brought the audience totally back to capitalism and was conducted as if everyone present had plenty of money due no doubt to the high wages, point never mentioned. The chairman first actually called for $100 bills and got two or three which may or may not have been handed back later; then skipped all the way down to $10 bills, finally taking $1 bills. She may have gotten $500 out of the crowd of 300 which is high capitalistic finance for political meet ings even in the National Press club. SIDE GLANCES WtSMB U IIW(f K T 111 1 M.

But just in case thoso good resolutions suffer amnesia tills New Year's eve und you do come whooping home atop a tuxicuh rudiutor instead of the water wagon, here arc a few sugges tions on how to face the morrow: Arrange in udvnnco to send your dog to a vcterinnry and your children to a neighbor. Pull down the blinds, turn off the alarm clock, disconnect tiic telephone. Put two match slicks in your piijuma pocket. Drive a nail in the ceiling and suspend from it by a small thread a heavy Japan ese war sword with the point directly over your pillow. Go to sleep.

I tint ten bucks you dish ed out to the milkman at your door may not be lost. Tell him tomorrow that you were really Just ordering an extra quart of milk and you want $9.80 change. But do something to show you're a man again. Get out your checkbook and start sign ing f o r those Christmas bills. That'll give you something to worry about besides your physi cal bankruptcy. Finally, as the first sun of 1947 passes midday, sit down and repeat those little proverbs to yourself over and over: "Lo que no so puede remedlar se ha de aguantar what cannot be cured must be endured." "Eine schwalbe macht koinen sommer one awallow docs not make a summer (or a hangover.") "Dl buona volonta sta pi'eno l'inferno hell is full of good Intentions." Then if 'you behave you'll still have 304 days to enjoy a happy new year. The United Slates government is watching the operation ot its present commercial air agree ment with lit) countries for clue to the prospects of an early world wide puct. If experience with agreements now in effect is satisfactory, it is fair to assume thai thu bask principles will be offered for world adoption when the 40 member states of the Provisional International Civil Aviation or ganization (P1CAO) meet next Muy. Tito goal of a free sky fur peaceful flight was set ut a world conference, ut Chicago In 1 044. The Chicago conference fell short of the mark, and both the United State and the Uritlsh begun making bilateral or two-nation agreements for air trunsport rights. Eventually, of course, Uiey had to consider making one with each other. Complete Freedom Tills brought together head-on the two opposing principles: the United State belief in complete freedom to carry International traffic through the air (but not a nation' Internal traffic); and the British belief in strict eco nomic control, with a division of the business. The two concept were brewed Into a pact that satisfied both. It was reached at Bermuda, which gave this type agreement it name Both great nations agreed to sign no aviation pact line liberal than Die Bermuda document. The United State' 28 agree ment meet the Bermuda terms as a minimum. A duten more agreement arc on the fire. The united kingdom hus at least a score of such pacts. Open Skies , It would upm-ur relatively simple, then, to open the skies around the globo to the extent of tho Bermuda plan. However, there are two important consid erations: 1. The Bermuda plan can not be said lo have had a com plete trial. Some of the safelr valve had not had a chance to show Iher will work. 2. The Bermuda plan applies to two specific countries. 11 may be quite a trick to write it so that it will apply with equal satisfaction to a largo group of nations Tho United States is attempt ing to find both answers aa quickly as possible. The state, war, navy, post office and com merce departments, the civil aeronautics board and the budget bureau are participating actively, and congress is being kept ad vised of their work. A tentative draft has been distributed prl. valvly for study and comment. The safety valves In the Ber muda agreement relate to the allocation of routes, a system for monitoring fares and cargo rates and a general formula for pre venting uneconomic or unfair competitive practices.

I bow my head In shame. Mrs. George W. Black called Bruce Hulse, KKLW technician, last night on my statement in yesterday's col umn that the Hotel burned in 1927. 1 had gained the impression from the History of Klamath County, usually a very good ref erence for events around the basin. After Mrs. Black s call I rolled up my sleeves and went to work looking over the Herald and News' back issues and sure enough in The Klamath News for October 17. 1D26, a morning paper, was the headline GHEAiT HOTEL MASS OF RUINS." The fire started at 9 a. in. on Saturday the 16th and burned throughout the day. There were 200 people in the hotel at the time, but no one was reported killed. ... That was just a little over 20 years ago and on the same page as the story of the fire is a story stating "Potato shipments out of Klamath Falls eclipsed all previ ous records in the history of the county ; . . total for the season so fur is 57 cars." Total potato shipments for the season this year by October 17 were 2024 carloads. Tcmpus fugit. Just for the dickens of it let's look on through the files for the rest of the year. October 19th the head lines read "Queen Marie Visitor to U. S." November 3 was elec tion day of that year. Tom Wat ters was elected mayor of Klam ath Falls, and Fred Stiewer of La Grande was in as U. S. sena tor. One story mentions that the radio was a popular device that day when -"a large group gath ered at Henley hall to listen to R. E. Bradley's super-hot, oper ated by Bradley, Percy Dixon and Henry Semon alternatively, gave returns hot out of the ballot boxes." O.n the 6th the headlines announced that the Great North ern wos coming intft Klamath and that Aimce Scmple Mac Pherson was again in trouble. A small item on November 9th stales that a girl, who had broken her neck from excessive dancing of the Charleston, was recovering satisfactorily. The prohib officers seemed to be quite busy in the county during the fall of 1926 and the Klamath News went into the insurance business that season with a big offer of an accident insurance policy for $1.25 per year. On November 26 Tommy Manville lost hiti first wife. Pictures of women in those bygone days show thut they cither had no hips or were at great pains to conceal the fact, and women's hats were HATS. Rudy Nebb in the comic sections 20 years ago looked just like the one we see today, but Junior is now a little older. A headline states (a little prematurely) that Klamath Falls is to be an air mail base. Klam ath Falls had a white Christmas in 1926 and Hlrohito ascended the throne of the Japanese em pire. The year ends with the prophecy of large and prosper ous growth for Klamath Falls In the years lo come and wishes everyone a Happy New Year. Well, at least in that respect times haven't changed much, for we still wish everyone a "Happy New Year." ... P. S. Both KFLW and KFJI are planning to bring in the New Year with lots of music and fun. KFJI will stay on the airlanes until just a little past midnight and KFLW will stay on 'til one in the morning. Auto Wreck Jams Traffic A head-on collision one mile south of Dorris at 10:15 a. m. Sunday, jammed two cars to gether in such manner that traf fic both north and south bound was held up for three hours, according to California State Highway Patrolman. Gerald Wilson. Driver of one car was Arthur R. Cooper of Klamath Falls, Wilson said, who attempted to pass another machine and struck Frank B. Arrand, Spo kane, Wash., northbound driv er. Occupants of the Arrand car, including Mrs. Arrand and daughter Marilyn and his moth er, Mrs. Blanche Arrand of Electric City, Wash.,' were bad ly shaken and bruised and giv en first aid in Dorris private homes. Cooper was cited to court on January 10 before Jus tice Clarence Motschenbacher. Dorris, on a charge of driving on the wrong side of the road. Officer Wilson was en route to his home at Tulelake from a Christmas visit in the south when he observed the accident and remained to direct traffic. RADIO PIIOGIIAMS TUESDAY EVE..
