B Adrue, s .n -r sa .its Weekend Roundup SUNDAY, May 18, is "I Am An American Day." It will be observed in Klamath Falls with a program at the Klamath armory under auspices of the American Legion and with churches, schools and patriotic organizations rjarticinatinor. There should be a large attendance. The tide of natriotism is running strong now. But it was not so long ago that patriotic sentiment was looked noon with something akin to ridicule. It was called flag- waving and foolish sentimentality in those days. But as goon as it becomes apparent tne country s protection migm be needed in an uncertain world, that gave way to a new burst of enthusiasm for the nation, its traditions and its honor. Through the years when flag-waving was not popular, the American Leeion kept to its patriotic theme. So did a number of other organizations participating in Sunday's program. They now come forward to emphasize anew what it means to be an American citizen, to awaken re newed pride in the privileges of citizenship. Here's success to their effort. e e There has been general approval of the appointment by Governor Sprague of Judge James Brand of Coos county to the supreme court bench. This newspaper joins others in their admiration of Judge Brand at the same time, it voices regret that Governor Sprague did not make his appointment east of the Cascades, the area,from which came Justice Bean, whose death made the new appoint ment necessary. Western Oregon now has three justices, Portland has three justices, and eastern Oregon is represented by only one justice on the supreme bench. Because of the voting situation, with supreme court justices almost invariably winning reelection, it appears doubtful if the east-of-the-Cascades district can have more than one justice for many years. It lost deserved representation on the bench through Justice Bean's death, although there were several highly qualified men in this territory worthy of the appointment. It is a source of satisfaction, however, that the appointee from western Oregon is a man of acknowledged high calibre, a jurist of distinction and proved qualifications. e Bend and Kiamath Fall share interest in an important j nignway iso. 97 and it appears they may get to gether on plans for promoting travel over this route. Both communities are faced with the problem of over coming ignorance of highway qualifications on the part of people living in the Willamette valley and in western Washington.

May 17 Great secret of all Washing ton secrets the past month has been the new treasury excess profits tax plan. Mr. Morgcn thau's assistant. John L. Sulli van, has been emulating a fugt- tive from justice In efforts to avoid the house ways and means committee, tiis appearance has been scheduled every few days the past month, but he has al ways failed to appear. The treasury has been telling the tax makers nothing except that It wanted about $400,000,000 more from that source. It may now be told the official Sullivan excess profits tax plan has been in print for nearly a month, although not more than half a dozen people have known it.

EDITOR TALK MERRILL Students now graduating are facing a danger ous cycle in world affairs, and the events of the coming years will test their common sense and their fidelity to the prin ! ciples of democracy, Malcolm Epley, managing editor of The News and Herald, told Merrill high school graduates in the commencement address Thurs day evening. War years, he said, are years ; of confusion, heartbreak and un certainty, and they are followed by more years of confusion, ' heartbreak and uncertainty. .There will be tremendous con troversy in the years to come, he said, and some day some one may propose that the people of this country turn their lives over to some "superman." yield ing up the privileges they now possess. "The ignorant and the weak might fall for that theory," said jthe speaker, "but not the strong , and the proud and the truly educated citizens of America." Epley was introduced by E. E. Kilpatrick, Merrill high school principal. I Students in blue and white j caps and gowns entered the I auditorium of the high school to a processional played by I James Hodges. The invocation Iwas offered by Rev. Lawrence Mitchelmore. pastor of the i First Presbyterian church, Mer rill. Marjorlc E. Bush offered the salutatory address and the Girls' Glee club, under the di rection of Miss Betty Evanson sang "Italian Street Song" and "Merry Roundelay." Irene La patt was valedictorian. Buf ord Howard, Klamath Falls tenor, sang "I Love Life" followed by the main address Kilpatrick presented an award in journalism to Lawrence Reed and Frank Calise; to the most outstanding athletes for 1941, Mary Chinn and Virgil Snapp: to Pauline Clemens and Paul Knox for citizenship; Irene La patt, scholarship. Tom Chatburn received by virtue of a decision of the student body recognition as the senior who had made the best showing as an athlete for the entire four years. Robert Fruits, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Fruits re ceived the pin and certificate presented by the Daughters of the American Revolution which is awarded annually to the girl in each high school who rates highest in citizenship, scholar ship, sportsmanship and other characteristics that make a good student. Small gold footballs presented by the Merrill Service club and the student body in recognition of the record of the Merrill football squad this season went to Joe Fotherlngham, James Hodges, Jack Fleck. Willard Moore, William Waldrip, Leo McKocn, Paul Knox, Virgil Snapp, Vernon Bowman, Law rence Reed and Tom Chatburn.
