SUGGESTION
CRKSC'KNT LAKE. Ore.,
Trullwugon Ranch, (To the Fdi
tor) We understood that a shelf
of booka la to be established at
the Klumulh County library in
memory of Mary McComb. This
ia Indeed a worthy project but
it appears to im that it la wholly
Inadequate na a memorial to one
who for ao long put herself en
tirely into the task of aerving
every reading person in Klam
ath county whom she could find
a way to reach. To many of us.
Miss McComb waa the only con
tact we had with the county aeat
and the influence of her atten
tions were felt in every school
throughout Klamath.
The Inst time we saw Mury
McComb she waa proudly show
ing us. plana for the new library
which was the thing nearest her
heart. From it aho could better
serve the county, ahc said. That
was always paramount in her
life, service to the people, adult
and child, of Klamath coejntv.
Why Is this not tho time to build
a memorial which is really wor
thy of her, a new library build
ing from which can be carried
out the service which she so
atrove to perfect. Surely a new
building, well equipped, la not
too Inrge a memorial to build
to Mary McComb.
Very sincerely yours,

Get Breaks
On Rent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 lP)
MuJ. Gen. Philip Fleming, di
rector of tho office of tempo
rary controls, suld today ho
has Instructed reglonul OPA
offices to "liberalize" rents in
"hardship cases. "
Fleming mude tho statement
to reporters after dlacuaalng
rent control with President
Trumun. The president told hla

about renla, Fleming explained,

der Instructions to resolve thut
doubt In fuvor of tho landlords.
Local costs, ho explained,
will be the yardstick in deter
mining whether rent' are too
low.
Fleming emphasized that his
orders do not mean a brcuk in
the general line of rent con
trols. Huthcr, he suld, they arc
simply designed to correct Iocul
aituations where rents of aomc
propcrtlca moy be lower than
those of comparable properties
in the same urea.
