Of haying, the Hol lander said "I never want to do that again." Never Heard Of Hans Brinktr In passing, Lcffelaar pooh-poohed a couple of well-known Amer ican stories: About the boy who saved Holland by holding his fin ger in a hole in a dike, and about Hans Brinker and the silver skat es. He said he is going to have to dig them up and read them "because I never ncard oi mem before" coming to the U.S. He also wryly pointed out that all people in his country do not wear wooden shoes and that only a few wear the colorful national costume. The young man said he has been very much impressed by the friendliness of people in tms coun try. He said he has felt like he "belongs" to each community he has visited. And, the people of the West, he said are more like Eu ropeans than those in life South. He did not deny the existence of "southern hospitality, but be said people in the West basically seem more friendly. Contribution To Peaca He welcomes the opportunity to see Americans "showing yourselv es as you really are and not as you may pretend to be," and be lieves it is an invaluable contri bution toward world peace and understanding.

Longer leases with a renew ing clause would permit improve ment to these properties, reports Charles Collins, nark superinien. dent. The department, however, does not feel it proper to invest money in improvements on land held under shorl leases. Donations In Offing Collins reports several dona tions of park land are in prospect Other sites have been offered at a price considerably below com mercial values, but current funds are insufficient to purchase these properties. Rep. John P. Amacher, chair man of the parks department, re ports that the department return ed to the county general fund a surplus of $.5,000. The money, he said, was not enoujh to buy some of the sites desired in the pro gram and retrained from last year's operation. The new policy, the court n nounced, will be more flexible. The department is authorized to negotiate for park sites and the court will make determination on price and will either accent or re iect sites. Purchased land will be held (or later development. This policy. Judge Hill reports will free the department from a fixed aequ'sition budget. The court indicated it would make funds available to meet the exoanedd program, but will pass judgment on each proposed acquisition. Funds from timber sales and other special sources will be ear marked for the parks program and used only as suitable propert'es are made available, Judge Hill states.

Congress put adminis tration of Lhe,disputed 42,000 acre.s in the Forest Service but provided that the counties still would receive 5 per cent of the sale receipts from the timber. Congrats Action Stands The court said: "In ultimate analysis the county complains of a threat of damage which it fears, rather than an ac tual injury. But in any event the public domain in Oregon passed to the United States when Oregon was admitted. Such a provision was implicit in the act ot admis sion. ". . . No taking is involved in the 1954 act And of course the courts cannot interfere with the adminis tration of public property as ar ranged by the Congress and the executive, so long as constitutional boundaries are not transgressed by either branch or statutory ones by the latter."

Circles In 90 Minutes The satellites would circle the earth once every 90 minutes, so that even if they remained up on ly a day or two there would be opportunity for study.

The rainbow and brook trout planted at the Schultz pond February when they were one-inch long now measure as much as 8 inches in some instances.
