Tuesday afternoon after a visit
from Eugene V. Pugh, a field rep-;

Historical
Display Set
In keeping with the historical
observance of the month of Feb
ruary, a collection of items is on
display in a window of Shaw Eta
tionery Company on Main Street.
Most of the exhibit is related
to the grandfather of Mrs. Bertj
C. , Thomas, a Unitarian chaplain!
in the Civil War, David H. Plumb.
He served as chaplain at Fortress
Monroe, Va., after enlisting in
January, 1860.
Many of the mementoes were
acquired during Civil War years
including three letters written in
a' Spencerian hand by Chaplain
Plumb bearing information on the
"U.S. Sanitar.y Commission"
which later became the American
Red Cross. All letters during that
period were hand-stamped.
An issue of the New York Her
ald, probably an original because'
of the firmness of the paper after
many years, relating Washington's
death, is in the collection. Among
other exhibits is the handwritten
Journal of David H. Plumb, writ
ten in 1837. written in ink since
lead pencils had not commonly
come into use at that time.
An issue of Harper's Weekly,
April 21, 18H6. a copy of The
Soldier's Friend, a tiny booklet,
a hymn book for the Army and
Navy, old china and silver and
other items of interest are on ex

study the program for the county
and to make recommendations.
The surplus foods issue has be
come a political issue lately. Gov.
Mark O. Hatfield has asked four
members of the state welfare com
mission to resign: one ef the rea
sons he gave is that the commis
sion has not set up a surplus food
program. Oregon is one of eight
slates not distributing surpluses to
welfare and low income families.
The legislature, also, has jumped
onto the surplus bandwagon and
nas passed a bill to require coun
ties to set up distribution pro
grams.
Everybody is in favor of the
principle of issuing food surpluses
to the needy, Larson said. "But
there are still several obstacles to
establishing the program in Klam
ath County." One big obstacle is
that the cost of the program must

Surplus food grants would be in
addition to normal welfare grants
and would not replace any pres
ent issues. Another drawback is
that food would have to be re
packaged here by licensed food
handlers. Storage space is yet an
other problem.
Since President Kennedy s order
that more and better foods be
made available, the allowances
have been revised and more foods
have been added to the list.
Under previous standards, a
family of four was authorized less
than three dollars worth of surplus
food a month. Quantities are now
more realistic. Besides all-purpose
flour, corn meal, rice and dried
milk, the following foods have
been made available: pork and
gravy, lard, butter, dried eggs,
pea beans and peanut butjer.
A decision on surplus foods
could conceivably be made when
the county welfare commission
next meets with the county court
on March 3. If the court agrees to
finance the program, Pugh said
there would be a 30 to 45-day de
lay before food could be distribut
ed to recipients.
Everett Vaubcl, 4331 Fargo
Street, said someone sprung the
rear door of his station wagon
Tuesday night while it was parked
near Klamath Union High School.
Roger Peters, Route 2, Klamath
Falls, reported that his wallet
was stolen while he was playing
basketball at Henley High School.
Mrs. Ruby M. Worlcy, 1330 Sar
gent Avenue, said someone had
tried the front door of her house.
Police searched the area but
found no suspects.
