SUBSCRIPTION RATES Mj Mail months tSM By Mill 1 year $11 00 By DEB ADDISON One ol our boys is leaving. Jim Morrison, who once was a Klamath Falls schoolboy, went to work for the Klamath News as night editor before the war, when we still published the News as a separata morning edition. . . Then, Just In time to catch Uie headaches of publishing during World War II, he bought the Bum Valley Star at Dorris. He and his wife. Wllla. put out the Star dur ing most of the war. and sold out in the summer of IMS. With the deal to sell his paper In the wind, Jim Miked to us about going to work here to gel some more advertising experience. Yours truly was a one-man ad staff at the time, while Jus Mc Donald wore the navy blues. It was decided that Jim would be a member of the ad staff untU. Mc Donald got back. He had the Idea of working until then, and then buying another weekly paper. So Jim sold the Siar, took a va cation, and went to work for the Herald and News. Jim went to work the lirst of October; Mac got out of the navy and came back to work the first ot November.. . .. . That tour of one month's ad duty didn't end It. That one month stretched out to more than six years. But now Jim Is leaving. Hell go to m-ork for The Oregonian in Portland the first of the year. The Morrisons will move to their new home In Portland next week. Il takes nerve to unroot a lam lb', cut all ties and embark on a iew career in the sharp, cold com petition of a city. We doff our hats to Jim. and to Willa and the two boys, and wish him real success on the big paper. When opportunity comes up, as it does more often on a big opera tion in a big town, we're sure that Jim will be ready. Worldwide Bible Reading lor to night: Philippians 4:1-13.

Truman could (A) dump tne problem in the lap of the wage stabilisation board, which he migot oo In preference to using (B) the fait-Hartley act, through which he could delay a strike SO days. j so doubl the president will han dle the case aelicately- since Mur ray is one of bis strongest baccers and it isn't politically smart to alienate your friends unnecessarily. But the president, has another and, so far as the rest cl the country Is concerned, a stronger reason for being careful here: if he pokes a hole In the anti-Inflation curtain to help Murray, liv ing costs go up. The steelworkera want a new contract giving them higher wages and other benefits. Murray warns they won't work without a con tract and If they don't have a new one when the old one ends January 1, they'll strike. Tne U.S. Steel Corp. says It can't raise wages a penny unless the government permits it to raise prices to pay for the raise, which thus rams tne whole dispute hod en Into the anti-inflation program: CEILINGS ON BOTH The government's office of price stabilisation (OPS) and the wage stabilisation board (WSB) have put ceilings on prices and wages to keep both of them down. It It breaks the ceilings in this case to avoid a steel strike, then it has opened the door for other unions and companies to demand higher wages and prices. Of course, there's a question of whether the Industry, out of its present profits, can afford to raise wages without needing a price in crease to pay for them. If it can, it would seem the dis pute can be settled bv January I between the union and the indus try, and nobody gets hurt. But its own statement that it can't taken at face value would indicate the OPS and WSB will have to get into this mix-up before it's over. This is what the president can do if a strike seems certain on Jan uary l: 1. Taft-Hartley. Under this law he could declare that a strike would create a national emergen cy. The attorney general would ask can strike i So this method could delay a strike but not. in the eneV prevent it. Further: if the injunction were Issued around January 1. the 80 days would be up in mid-March. By that time John L. Lewis' coal miners could be on strike. Their present contracts end in Marrh. A coal and steel strike at the same time would be a beaut.' EXAMINING BOARD 1. WSB. The president could ask the board to examine the dispute. It would. And It would malt; rec omendation.. Neither the union nor the Industry would have to ac cept the board's recommendations although public opinion would sup port the board, putting pressure on both sides to accept. btui. in neitnar case couia tne eligible voter lists Those of"ti 1000 who answer the warnings, sig nify that they're still alive and still Interested in voting In Klamath county, will be lelt on the books. Those who don't will be dropped. Because of the ooll book cleans ing now underway it is lmoosslble to get an accurate check on how registration figures . stand for Klamath county just now. Probably a hard and fast count will not be obtained before April 16, when the books are closed prior to the com ing May 16, 1952 primary election. But the Republicans are gaining. In the past few months, the coun ty clerk's office reports, there has in this country. The person who gels this dubious distinction may even now be curi ously following the national safety council's careful check of traffic deaths as they hear the 1.000,000 mark, and saying to himself: "Bov, d hate to be the unlucky CUV they're Imktni- for .

Amanda Cowan In Klamath Hospital Amanda Cowan, aged Indian woman, was brought to Hillside hospital from Chlloquln last night by Kaler's ambulance. She has pneumonia and her condition was reported today as fair. Mrs. Cowan, according to Klam ath Agency tribal records, was born in 1855. which would make her M yeara old. She is believed to be the oldest living member of the tribe. the county. A patxr strength ma jority is about what the 1950 Dem ocratic lead amounted to. and the 194S Demo lead.

Mra. Dale DeLeag 151 Marlla I'OMMl'NITY Cfle: ST KLAMATH FALLS I attended the meeting of tha director of our community chest held Wednesday (December 111 and reported on freely In your paper on Thursday, including tha plan I proposed at aald meeting to raise tha I3S.0O0 still needed ta make the 1151 ohest a 100 percent auccess.v "I am a nut," I told the chest meeting but sometimes It takes a nut with a cutty idea to reach the people and get things dene. My plsn ta copied from a town la the East, about the aire of Klamath Falls, which needed 155. 00 ts finance a children's hospital. Tha mayor and several prominent eltltens cooperated were sen tenced la Jail and dressed in flashy prison stripes. Then the good pee- fue of tne tewa came aovn to see hem and donated funds to ball out the poor prisoners. The money poured tit loo percent, lot af fun and nobody hurt. Now for th loeal play: We have a mayor wa the people pay a BIO salary and his time la ours. A day or two In the clink would make a better mayor of him and help a very worthy cause. Then there Is Judge Reeder of the county court. We all voted for him and he sure ly om-es a few hours "doing time." One maverlek from the city coun cil could heln the fun too. And there's Sheriff Sack Franey who always gets hur man and would be a goad man ta gat. Then we come to the mtnlstera ef eur churches, always reedy te help a good cause as well aa punish ua with some terrible aermons. Two of these should a summoned te court and put away until they see the light and mend their ways. Why a fsney new city jail ex cept for our bast eitliens? With th cooperation af press, radio and our best chert workers I firmly be lieve this plan would succeed In reaching our goal and give our children many good things they will not otherwise receive. Th Klamath community has a big heart. We are a too percent county, not a M pereent county. We giv to help ourselves, our commu nity chest. We ran make It a loo percent success. W.
