Power Break
Douses City Lights
Power went off at the Cali
fornia Oregon Power company
eastside powerhouse, darkening
lighU in Hot Springs and Hill
side additions about 6:34 Thurs
day evening, according to Sam
Ritchey, Copco manager.
Power was off in most places
onl ya minute, Ritchey said, but
In some sections the period was
longer. Power is now being sup
plied to eastside users from the
main plant. The failure was
found to be due to a fire in a
coil. The eastside station is
closed awaiting repairs.
Principal casualty from the
shortage was station KFLW
which was off the air for a con
siderable time due to technical
difficulties incurred from the
surge of incoming power from
the main plant.

Cancer Drive
Klamath county's cancer fund
drive will be sponsored by the
20-30 club of Klamath Falls, and
contributions will be welcomed
immediately, it was announced
today by Malcolm Epley, county
chairman for the Oregon division
of the American Cancer society.
Contributions may be sent to
the 20-30 club, Box 778 city, or
to Epley at The Herald and
News. Checks may- be made out
to "Cancer Fund."
Last year, the cancer fund was
a part of the Community Chest,
and it was not certain until a
few days ago whether the money
would be raised through the
chest this year. It was decided,
however, to make It a separate
campaign, and there are evi
dences already - of widespread
interest in giving to the cause.
- Epley praised the 20-30 club
for volunteering to assume re
sponsibility for the drive and
urged early contributions to
complete the quota in April,
cancer fund month.

Air Scouts
Find Location
The 20-30 club's Air Scout
troop has finally found a place
to put their club house, after
being refused a permit to set
it inside the city limits on a lot
at Washburn way and Garden.
The club house will now be set
up at Alameda and Shasta way
on ground leased from the
American Legion.
The 20-30 club had the Garden
street lot bought from the coun
ty and ready to receive the
building brought up from the
Tulelake WRA camp, when the
club found it was unable to ob
tain a local option for erection
of the club in a residential zone.
The local option requires the
signatures of all property own
ers within 200 feet of the lot.
The arrangement was finally
made with the American Legion
for use of part of the large plot
of ground recently purchased
along Shasta way. The club
house has not yet been moved
onto the ground now in the pro
cess of being bladed.
Dog Lock-Up
Period Nears
Next month brings sad news
for the canine population of
Klamath Falls. On May 1, dog
owners will have to tie up their
pups and keep them home in
accordance with a city ordin
ance until June 30 when they
will again be allowed to roam."
Purpose of the ordinance is
to protect new spring gardens
which will be just getting nicely
started then. The police de
partment will enforce the law.
Police Chief Orville Hamilton
said today, and dog owners who
do not comply will be fined.
It's hard to convince a pup
that onions and radishes are
more important than he is,
police observed. '

Fire Rumor
Fire Chief C. W. Slover of
the Marine Barracks protective
staff said today he spends more
time denying fire than fighting
it.
The chief today again refuted
rumors that the big plant on the
hill had suffered in a blaze, and
remarked that there have been
recurrent reports of that type for
several weeks, all unfounded.
Chief Slover has five men on
a shift to protect the Marine
Barracks from fire. He said,
however, that the grass hazard
is going to be especially bad
this year.
The state, which plans to take
over the Barracks plant for a
technical school, has budgeted
funds for fire protection, in
cluding a chief and assistant
chief.

National Potato Letter
Early Spud Crops Suffer
From Cold, Wet Weaiher
Supply
Lots of trade gossip Is out
regarding potato stocks remain
ing in important late crop sec
tions. Plcntv, probably too many,
are still held In Mnino but with
the exuort deal stilt baonilnii and
with much seed demand held
back by bad planting weather
and car shortages, stocks will
soon dwindle rapidly. Red River
valley still has potatoes but not
really loo ' many. At nn esti
mated 2500 to 2700 curs, six
weeks (38 working days) would
mean an average of only 66 to
71 cars dally. Nebraska and
Colorado are practically inrougn,
and will not be a factor again
this season. Idaho still has po
tatoes but will have no trouble
with good and large stock. Idaho
frequently has late season dif
ficulty with accumulations of
two's. The Far West is in good
shape with fulr stocks and will
be able to take care of itself
with just a little help on the low
grades. -
Except in Texas and California
the early crop has suffered con
siderably from cold, wet weather.
North Florida will be ugm ana
late. Alabama will be later than
usual, but probably escaped
much damage to yields. All
around the Gulf, the weather
was cold enough to retard ger
mination and delay maturity.
Tennessee could not plant much
before April 1, probably will
not harvest much before July 1.
South Carolina has fair stands
in spite of the weather, but is
two or three weeks late. North
Carolina has had the same
trouble, with sprouting Just be-
? inning. Virginia missed sprout
ng trouble, but planting was
considerably delayed. Califor
nia, on the contrary, has had al
most ideal growing weather and
almost surely will begin ship
ping by about the 20th. About
these crop delays due to bad
weather remember that spuds
seem to know that they're late
and hurry to catch up. Many a
time crops have been held back
two weeks or more but have ma
tured about on time. Good grow
ing weather from now on may
make it happen again.
