O th 174th anniversary tNor. 10 ot th P.
Marine Corps It might b appropriate to repeat
the old ditty. "A thousand r Ut W1 Ul1'
swabs, to lick a net marine." Th
marine ar put of th nary, or
era until unlficaUoo. act In at
least, but that chanty shows th
Intramural rivalry which haa ea

Rht now Klamath manna ra

waiting tor aome official In tha
nary department In Washington
to sign a piece of paper which
will fri them p mm men of tha

ADDISON THAT place of paper la a leas

Pefl to the nary for us ot tha Marine Corpa
Reserve, in operation of a marina reaerre unit
almllar to tha well-known national guard. Tha
city agreed on terma of tha lease with tha nary,
aigned tha paper, and tfe now m Washington wait

happy to get these tmita m uae and get aome lease
money coming in. Tha BOQ haa been empty aince

One officer and eight men would be on full time
duty, to Instruct, handle supply and the like. The
nary would spend $75,000 overhauling the BOQ.

bishing. The nary would use a portion of the 1
building, we understand.
Reserrista would receive marine pay for drill once
a week which, the hoys point out, would bring a
new payroll of from thirty to fifty thousand dollars
a year to Klamath.
There are about ISO members In the Marine Corps
League, and there are between 300 and 400 ex
marines In the basin.
Jim Roger, the former KUHS footballer, tells us
, that high achool boya between 1 and lt an

time try writing a letter to headquarter. When the

Looks like lt will take an awful lot of gobs to

By GIOKGE E. gOKULaKT
(N one ot my transliterations of the wisdom of
Oeorgl Oramada,' special Kraal correspondent. I
quoted from Maxim Oorkl, tha Russian novelist, aa
follows:
". . . What you call tha driliaaUon of the I'B A.
does not and cannot excite my sympathies. I think
your ornltsation la the moat deformed civilisation
on our planet, because lt has magnified to monstrous
proportions all tha many and shameful deformities
of European civilisation."
In tha Russian press, particularly last summer,
there waa a rogue ot quotations from Oorkl against
the United State. The object waa to show what
a horrible country thla la and how low the American
people hare aurtk. Maxim Oorkl. who risited this
country, la produced aa chief witness because of his
tame aa tha foremost proletarian writer of the
, caartat era. He waa a loyal follower ot Lenin.
In spit ot all the miserable things he wrote
about the United States, there Is one tncon trove ryble
letter that he addressed to Herbert Hoover, which
tells another story, and over which the Russians
might wen ponder. Thla letter la dated Berlin.
July 30. 1K3:
"Prof. Oeron Davis Informs me that you kindly
consented to send Individual packagea to scientists
and men of letters in Moscow and Petrograd. Need
lesa to aay your generous assistance Is worthy of
the greatest praise. Nevertheless, permit me to
express my feelings of gratitude to all citizens of
the United State of America and complete satis
faction with tha humanitarian work of the Ameri
can relief administration, of which you are chair
man. In the past year you hare saved from
death three and one-half million children, fire and
one-half million adults, fifteen thousand students,
and hare now added two hundred or more Russians
of the learned professions. I am Informed that this
charity cost America 90 million dollars, figure
which are sufficiently eloquent.
"In all the history of human suffering I know
ot nothing more trying to the souls of men than
the rrenta through which the Russian people are
passing, and m the history of practical humanl
tarianlsm I know ot no accomplishment which In
terms ot magnitude and generosity can be compared
to the relief that you have actually accomplished. J:
seems to me very Important that euch great gen
erosity developed during these past years of uni
versal cruelty cruelty which la ruining Europe,
following as lt does the terrible war which shook the
foundations of European culture. It is not only
the physical help which la raluable but the spiritual
succor to the minds of mankind which are tormented
by the events of the past years and sick, due to
cruelty and hate.
"The generosity of the American people resuscitates
the dream ot fraternity among peoples at a time
when humanity greatly needs charity and com
passion. Your help will be Inscribed In history as
a unique, gigantic accomplishment worthy ot the
greatest glory and will long remain In the memory ot
millions of Russian children whom you saved from
death. I believe that the recollection of American
self-sacrifice In saving children will make these same
children better, more generous men and women.
Permit me. with all my heart, esteemed Mr. Hoover,
to wish you and your assistants continued good
health and stout hearts.''
SINCE lm, the United States has aided Soviet
Russia In many wars, particularly to the tune
of 111.000.000,000 during World War H. but no
such gratitude aa Gorki expresses m thla letter
appears In tact, all that our aid actual
ly accomplished waa to buy us a potential enemy
who forces upon us an expenditure of perhaps s
high as 120,000,000 000 a year. Instead of devoting
our energies to errfllraUon, we are forced to devote
them to war.
In fact, there seems to be no gratitude any
where. We hare aided Great Britain aince 1817
aa no nation haa ever aided another, but there la
no gratitude. The British accept the aid aa a right
and then spoil all our good Intentions on the
continent of Europe by such arrogant stubbornness
aa Sir Stafford Cripps evinced In the matter of
the Union of Western Europe, or they try to Impose
upon us their unsound and obviously selfish policy
In China where they would hare us recognize
Sonet China to our detriment.

Aa a youth Peinman worked as

to Learn woods. In 1935 he risited

He came home and told his
father, who had a furniture factory
in the old gas house district here
he wanted to try out some new
Ideas. He sketched his designs, and
th father took a look at them
and said:
"You're young, fresh and crazy.

"But I still think you're crary."
In the years since then modern
furniture haa become more than a

that is the mass market the furni

"America has become a world

Peinman thinks furniture Is better

"It has to oe It takea a terrific

He sees a steadily growing trend

The newspapermen said they be

ot such touchy news, they dted the
