PAGE SIX HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, lOfit , It Happened This Way in New Pine Creek By IRVIN FARIS Last Sunday Dec. 7th! O-r-r-rrrl Pardon just can't help but think (with still a wee bit of a rankling bitterness) of what happened U years ago on that name but far more gioomy day when, at 8:15 a.m., cunning, efficient Captain Mit&uo Fuchiua led 183 war planes In a suprtse attack on Pearl Har bor. The death dealing armada In cluued 51 aive bomoers, 4 level bombers, 40 torpedo planes and 43 liglueis all of which hopped oil six air-craft carriers huddled omi nously Just a looo miles from the Hawaiian Islands so woefully un detected. That latal early morning as Fuchida shot througn the air with his lleet of destruction to ward his target he became wor ried. He had not heard from the two Dlanes he had dispatched earlier that were to give him the much needed weather report over Uie harbor. But he tuned in to the breakfast music coming from the base at the close of which, very accommodatingly, a full weather report was giveu, that enabled him to change his tactical ap proach to elleciively put eleven of our battleships and cruisers out of commission lymg peacefully in the harbor to say noth.ng ol the three destroyers, one target ship. one minelayer, one seaplane tena- er, and one repair vessel that were also damaged. Criminateiyl How did we ever weather euca a blown? It took Intestinal fortitude but and some of those boys who had a hand In our recovery from same are represented in the local warren weicn rost no. 1737 oi the Veteran's of Foreign Wars. This local chapter met last Sun day Dec. 7th at the Antler's Hall with another philanthropic mission In mind. They have decided to undertake the responsibility of put ting on a safety campaign for Young America that is growing up - n our schools ana towns. Objective protect the lives of children in town here at Kelly Creek school lust north of town the State Line School just south of town, the willow Ranch school and the Davis Creek school It has been common criticism for many months that cars speed ing across the state line have failed to adhere to the road signs at the approach of either side of the village. What does "Speed Limit 3b Miles rer Hour" mean? As these signs go unheeded the lives of the children are endan gered. This fact alone gives rise to the ever growing need or a vigorous safety campaign! Purpose to focalize the attention of motorists and the local citizen' ry that since highway 395 is be coming more and more popular as r. travel artery someunng must be done! The first step of the Vets will be to arouse public Interest in the undertaking. They are soing to sponsor a safety essay contest in the lour schools above mentioned. The student body navine the win- ning essay writer in its group will reeeive an award prooaoiy a sll' ver loving cup which the school will be entitled to possess for one year. Then another similar con test will be sponsored. The exact subject to be written about re garding safety will be announced later, cnaries (unuct) Mawnin- ney. an officer of the post, said. The second step in the project will be a poster campaign of strong eye-appeal that will make every motorist conscious of bis or her endangerment to the lives of the children when they travel at excessive speed through a town or past a scnooi building. A third phase of the campaign will be to enlist the cooperation of the Oregon and California state Police to actively assist in the pro gram oy mazing u more ire- quent trips past these four loca tions so they can tag the speed sters and (2) make occasional salety talks to the school assem blages to acquaint the pupils with the seriousness of their proper be havior in regard to traffic safety. A fourth endeavour of the vets' program will be an attempt to build walk-ways from the towns to the schoolhouses so that it will not be necessary for the children to travel the highway while going to and from school where a thoughtless motorist may either be speeding or negligently attend ing the business oi driving. Mr. Mawtiirmey strongly empha sizes that before the post can do very much it will be necessary to have the whole hearted support of the townsfolk of the three towns Involved especially in regard to building walk-ways to the schools. The slate highway departments have already stated their position that they are not authorized to spend money on such civic im provements. It resolves therefore as a specific burden resting uon the shoulders of the people whose children will benefit by same. A fiiih factor in the safety pro ject will be the erection of more stop signs at the town Intersec tions and side roads; larger school signs and safety crossings painted on the highway at the school houses. Watch this column tor news of the proeress of the Vets' safety campaign. At the Kelly Creek PTA meet ing held last Friday evening in SPACE STILL CAROHIA 58 Day Round SOUTH , AMERICA CRUISE from $1725 "Reservationi and Tickers Without Extra Cost" World Wide Travel Bureau In the Western Union Office Phone 8873 the schoolhouse Uie matter of i walk-way and other safety lea tures for Uie school children were also discussed, A committee was appointed to investigate every angle oi saieiy measures to be pursued. A feature of the meetlni was a talk by Carroll L. Brown who spoke on India. His message largely concerned his experiences ana observations made while a merchant seaman, visiting at the main ports of Uiat country first lu 1937 and again In 1945. Even though a lite In India means very Utile because of the tarnished conditions which prevail there, still there are many people there who have very defmte ideas about t h e English speaking peoples. They have been exploited so severely In the past that they are very skeptical and that Is the reason they are receptive fertile soil lor the broadcastings of com munism. In Mr. Brown's opinion this nation both for the sake of is own expanding commerce and for the betterment of world ten sion and unrest should be looking westward to India rather than eastward to Europe. "We can help those people Im mensely over there If we'd go at it right. In a friendly, helpful man ner," Mr. Brown said. "They need hln a nri ha n.linn rr n.tinn. j are mos, ,CUve m iendlng tnem a helping hand are going to receive the blessings of India - whatever they may be." The East Side Christmas party for Grangers and their families will be held on Dec. 30, following a regular meeting it was decided at the meeting held last Saturday evening.

A letter from Forestt Cooper was read In regard to the $150,000 set aside for the building of a new court house that if it was cot used within a limited time it would revert back into the general funds thus banishing all nope of hav ing a new courthouse in the visible future. Earl Sanford and Raymond Fisher were appointed as a committee of two to see what steps the Grange should take one way or another. The lecturer had provided movies ol an educational nature. depicting various forms of soil erosion and gorgeous scenery that has been blighted thusly but the picture was only about naif fin ished when the lights went out so everyone went home. Art Lenkelt was a little late get ting his letters to the office last Monday and they missed the out going man.
