Outfits that use piacaru style aavertising are eager as tlie liveliest beavers to ge. their cards put around town, but Uke little, if any, elfort m the move to gel 'em removed once the campaign or event is a thing ot the past. Why not let's have a campaign amoug those of us who allow them in our windows to see to it that campaign posters are removed, dance posters junked the day af'er tne dance, etc.? It certainly wouldn't do any harm if we were to do so. Of course one that is outdated, in a sense, but still to be seen around tile winaowa is the electric Keep Oregon Green type of poster. Despite the snow and ice of winter, if you can call this winter, these posters are always in order. May be we have to spend some time in the snow season remembering about putting out fires and emitt ing matches and cigarets in order to keep our forests verdant during the auinmer months. Some time ago Shaw Stationery put in an addition to the stoie which brought a new Main street entrance into play. But stop and notice how many people use the new entrance. Very few. They ail go on to the bid entrance and use the inside door to reach the new section. Proving again that habit is a strong icing. Paused at the corner of Main and Ninth the other day to watch one ot the common bottlenecks of modern civilization. A car had just pulled up with the intention ot parking in a spot one-car-removed from the corner. Of course the driver was followed by quite a line of cars, all of whom pulled in tailgate to . tailgate with the car in front of them. Thusly, the poor woman who was trying to get into the parking space was stopped TELLING THE EDITOR TAX PAYER For some time I have been fol lowing the controversy about the use of certain lands In the Fort Klamath country for agricultural purposes or duck reserv e purposes. I hunt ducks myself but I am also a taxpayer, and It occurs to me that we have perhaps gone to seed on auciis. 1 would nice 10 pre sent a little more definitely the taxpayers viewpoint. I sometimes think that about all I get out of my property is the privilege of paying taxes. I have had to sell some of it simply because it would not carry the taxes and the up keep. As I understand It, there Is ap proximately 4000 acres of private ly owned land adjacent to Upper Klamath Lake which the Federal Government is taking by condem nation for waterfowl purposes. I also understand there are certain farming interests who would buy this land; develop h for farming purposes and thus put it on the tax rolls. Furthermore, they would give the Fish at Wildlife Service and the duck hunters broad rights for game refuges and public shoot ing grounds. II also appears that the Federal Government already owns approximately 8000 acrea ad jacent to the 4000 acre tract which is marsh land and in reserve for ducks. Klamath County haa between three and one-half million and four million acres of land within Its boundaries. Of this acreage the Federal Government owns approx imately 2,500.000 acres aa follows: Forest Service 1.130.000 Bureau of Land Management 341.00 National Parks 160,000 Bureau Reclamation 73,000 Indian land 916.00 Total 250.000 We are not permitted to tax Fed eral land. Aa a matter of fact with the Federal land and other non-taxable land there is left only approxi- HAL BOYLE CAMP KILMER, N. J. lif) The American soldier Is known to hsve a wide heart. He proved It here in an unusual way. They passed the hat recently among some 25,000 or more troops here during a United Fund cam paign. The money solicited wss for 23 charities In nine neighboring com munities of this sprawling ls.000 acre camp. Some 20,000 soldiers kicked in for a total of S9.350. The amounts given ranged from a few pennies to 120. The result has made the camp commander rather proud. It left some of the local citizens feeling rather ashamed. The reason: Most of the soldiers who contributed to the drive were in transit, men just entering Un service or men leaving It. Only a handfltl have any permanent con nection here. Yet the camp In creased Its contributions 660 per cent over year ago, while the citizens who live in the communi ties lagged behind their goal. "The average soldier stays here only an average of six days," com mented Brig. Gen. Charles F. Crsig, who regsrds the record troop contributions ss proof thst "Army men want to become part ef whatever community they sre stationed in, and help serve its needs." And Industrialist Robert Wood Johnson, chairman of the board of Johnson b Johnson, observed: "Our armed forces have demon strated a responsibility to the com. munlty that should serve ss an example to those whs take too BILL JENKINS Managing Editor Irom backing up and those who wanted to go on and cross Main were oiocxea. Stayed there while the traffic Item ciiansed lour times beiore the woman finally gave up and pulled on around the corner in wan search of another parking space. As long as we have cars we'll have this problem. But It doesn't make it any easier on the nerves when it happens. And as for a solution to the problem I wouldn't know. The only easy way out I can see at uie moment would be to Include still another signal on the back of your car. This one to read: "Go ahead and pull around, 1 wann back into this parking place, you silly Jerk!" Talking to Joe Draucha and Gordon Loom 15 the other day when the two got to talking railroads. Gordon being one of the engine drivers for the Great Northern and Joe coming from a section of the country. Midwest, where railroad big was quite an art in its day. Can't remember all the tales they told about railroads and ' taking waicr on we ny ana steam en gines and what not. but one story that Joe recounted stuck in my mind. He asked "What is a civil engineer?" According to Joe the answer in his day was "A hog head out of work and looking for a job, that's the only lime he's ever civu. Driving around town these nippy days we're led to wonder how service station men, creamery workers, deliverymen and others can stand to work all day in only their shirt sleeves. It must get pretty nippy. I would say that the chamber of commerce should pay them some signal honor for thus pointing out our banana belt climate to the tourists. We haven't had such en thusiastic supporters of our mild weather since Charley Stark left tne cnamoer 01 commerce for other, and colder, fields. mately 32 per cent of the real prop, erty of Klamath County available for taxation. This small percentage of real property must carry the whole tax load. As one property owner, I don't want to see any more of Klamath County go into public ownership. The United States already own, directs and controls too much of this County. Furthermore, there are eouo acres of land owned by the United States in the Klamath Drainage District which I would like to see bomerteaded; In private ownership and on the tax rolls. I am not interested in who gets the land at Fort Klamath but I do want to see it in private owner ship and on the tax rolls. It seems hard to satisfy this Fish & Wildlife Bureau. They already have the whole of Upper Klamath Lake and MOO acres of the marsh land for the ducks and still they want more of Klamath County. They want to spend more of your tax money and my tax money. For years we have had Truman ism at Washington: more and more control by the Federal Government more power in Washington: more and more dictatorship. Our President-Elect, General Eisenhower, has assured us he will put a stop to this and will put the proper state resources and the control thereof back in the respective states where they belong. ' I think it would be a good thing for us to join in and help him and begin rliht here in Klamath County. . Let a nave no more private land go into public ownership. Let's homestead without delay what public land there is avail able for homesteadlng. uy doing this we wui at least own and control a little more of our own County. Such a movement would 'lower your taxes and mine. J. B. KfclU, 111 North th St. Klamath Falls V? i ias aai much for granted." A local newspaper, pointing al the generosity ol these strsngers in umlorm, asked lu readers: "What kind of citizens are we?" "Why should soldiers passing through a camp contribute so riL-svny to a charity drive In a community in which they them selves baa no roots? I came over to find out.

So I put the question to SgL William Skerry, 25, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who received a Bronze Siar and two Purple Hearts dur ing nearly II months in Korea.
