2—Part Orford Newt, Thursday, January 2(\ 1966
I c a n 't say for sure, but itseems
1 Ike the weeks are rol ling around
faster and faster.. . or maybe the
days are just running over each
other. At least I've noticed that
gettin' up tim e keeps catching
upw ithgoin' to bed tim e.. . and
that a in 't good. There oughts be
a solution somewhere along the
line but, as yet, I haven't found
anybody that can tell me where
to start looking for it. Maybe it's
because daily routines are start
ing to weigh a little heavy on
our subconscious and we are be
ginning to feel botged down by
them. Take any typical day.. .
starting from the top.
W e've got children at our
house, as most people do. How
those little tykes' eyes can pop
open so early in the morning is
beyond my comprehension. \nd
how the patter of little feet and
chatter of little voices can sound
like elephants running down the
hall bellowing is another of life's
mysteries. 1 m ean like the pul
ling cn o fcw ee sock can sound
like pulling a canvas sack over
a h u g e prickly cactus— inthe
dawn of a new morning. And this
is a morning after getting to bed
at a ’easanable hour. Weekends
are worse, much worse.
Right off you know if s a lousy
day because you're no longer
sleeping. No, you're wondering
who le t that pack of alley cats
in with the dogs in your living
room kennel. But, unfortunately,
the fog clears from the brain
cells and you realize it's just
your happy little children dis
cussing what kind of cereal they
w ant and who is going to make
the chocolate and explaining to
t h e three-year-old why sh e
c a n 't h a v e cookies or potato
chips for breakfast. And you know
for sure that taste in your mouth
is just another normal morning.
So you roll over and nudge
your wife, or vice versa, to start
the daily game of "who gets up
first,I didyesterday,"If she gets
in the f i r s t nudge, you feign
sle e p .. . until she reminds you
not to le t the cigarette »fall out
of your hand and burn the bed
spread. (You can get even far
t h i s nasty little unfair jab at
your integrity by really going
to sleep and burning the bed-
s p r e a d . , , if you w ant to lose
your weekly allowance j. Finally
you figure you might as well
get up, you c a n 't sleep anyway
w ith her yacking in your ear and
besides you get to the bathroom
first. But this is a mistake be
cause she can lay in bed with
t h e excuse that she couldn't
wash her face so why get up yet.
The first glance in the mirror
puts you into a deeper slum p.. .
when you realize the dura glass
w asn't fogged up after all and
it w a s really the rugged you,
camouflaged behind s q u i n t y
eyes, a growth of vari-colored
beard and an angry disposition.
And then you turn on the water,
splash a little in your face and
make ready f o r the shaving
ritual. The daily grind madness
hits y o u square in the brain
cells. So this morning instead of
shaving from left to right you
decide to reverse the procedure
. . . thinking that when you start
the left side die right side will
already be done and you'll feel
you got through quicker. But you
w in d up with a few nicks be
cause your hand is trained to a
routine. (For this reason nev er.. .
n e v e r.. . start to shave the neck
first. )
Eventually you get the mess in
the bathroom taken care of and
head baek to the b. r. to finish
dressing... and find the wife still
sacked out. Butyoustart grumb
ling until she c a n 't stand it any
longer and flees from scene..
to the sanctuary of the bathroom
finally emerging at full speed
for the kitchen, or to comb hair
and check clothes, or to try and
tem pt me with the odors of
breakfast ( u g h }, w h i c h e v e r
comes first. Food in the morning
lean rarely stom ach... but three
cups of coffee will make me al
most hum an.. . at least to the
p>oint where I can think clearly
enough to wonder what the rest
of the lousy day will bring.
(And this can be staggering
because I suddenly realize that
during my young lifetim e 1 have
consumed a total o f4 7 | 24-hour
daysjust shaving.. . and that's a
pretty rough daily grind. It would
be depressing, as well, except
that Mother Nature kinda bal
anced the scales by eliminating
the dally hair-combing routine
. . . which proves that everything
has a bright side. )
By this time the big kills have
l e f t for school and I'm ready,
not willing, but ready, to head
out into the world of business.
But first, a peck for the three-
year-old and the wife on my
way out the door saying "I’ll see
you later." And the thought hits
me again that here is another
daily routine that never misses.
And it makes you wonder.. what
if one morning 1 simply shook
hands when 1 le f t.. . or just said
g o o d bye girls.. . and toddled
off to A e o f f i c e with them
standing there. They'd probably
think I’d flipped my lid.
I warm the car, back out of
the driveway,out onto the high
way, south to the office, pull up,
turn the key, get out and head
for the morning's pile of m ail.
I check copy, write stories, make
bus and mail schedules, lay out
ads, sometimes eat lunch, talk
on the telephone, and a m ulti
tude of other routine things un
til it's time to return hom e.. .
with an arm -load of night work.
Then it's supper, settling quar
rels, and so forth until the young-
uns hit the rack and I can get on
with work. Each day is some
different from the next day, but
the same day of each week is
almost id en tical.. . because of
routines, either from necessity
or habit. Look how far off a
wrong start on the day will throw
you because we are so used to
the norm in cur daily lives.
Other people even begin to
recognize us from our routines.
I smoke cig arettes.. . le t me put
a cigar in my mouth and some
body wants to know who had a
baby. Regular c i g a r smokers
don't hear this all the tim e ...
j u s t me. If I walked down the
street somebody would be sure
to stop and ask me if my car
broke down. . . or was 1 trying to
lose weight. If 1 backed die car
into the driveway I'd u; set the
whole h o u s e . . . I must have
something to unload—or to load
. . . it couldn'tbe because I plain
fe ltlik e backing in so I wouldn't
have to back out in the morning
—CO change the .outine. If I hap
pen to shower and shave early
in th e evening I'm either going
to a m eeting or somebody is
coming to the house.. . I could
n 't possibly want to just clean
up. If I would cam e home extra
happy or late the bride would
probably check my breath.
But routines are necessary—to
keep the world going around in
an orderly fashion. Stop routines
for one short day and you would
have utter chaos. I m e a n .. . what
would happen if every other per
son in the entire world stayed in
bed all day tomorrow. Like you
couldn't get a haircut because
the barber was in b e d .. . or get
in the bank because the banker
was sleeping.. . just to get away
from routine.
Yep, we need routine to sur
vive inthe world today. Butmost
of all I needed something to
write about in this week's col
umn.

Letter Thanks Searchers
TO THE EDITOR
Your Air Search and Rescue
Group would like to take this
opportunity to thank the many
people who contributed to the
search for the lost plane with
Dick Watson and his two daugh
ters aboard. It was one of the
most cooperative searches we
have had in the State of Ctegon
where everyone pitched in. Pi
lots and observers flew under
adverse conditions more than
175 hours over the five day per
iod. With a conservative average
speed of 100 miles per hour this
means that more than 17, 500
miles were flown in the rugged
Siskiyou Mountains and along
the beach in hopes that the Wat
sons would be found alive.
In Oregon the State Board of
Aeronautics conducts all a i r
searches through designated vol
unteer Search Chiefs in each
area. The pilots' and observers'
time as well as die aircraft are
also volunteer. The State Board
of \erooautlcs ¡says for the gaso
line used in the search through
a $2 per year pilot registration
fee. This fund is earmarked for
air search and rescue only and
these searches are not necessar
ily for aircraft only, but rather
for use in any case where life
and/or property are in danger.
The state is divided i n t o 23
se arch a re as w ith e ach are a ha v-
ing its own Search Chief and
designated assistants.These area
Chiefs and assistants have the
f u l l authority to i n s t i t u t e
searches at any time they deem
it in order whether for a lost
child,boat,aircraft or whatever.
T h e y also have the power to
call in the Air Force and Coast
Guard when needed. We avoid
this as much as possible because
of the expense involved.
The sheriff of each county is
responsible for the ground search
and we w is h to thank Curry
Coun ty sheriff, Bill Gaun tie tt, for
his excellent cooperation in co
ordinating th e ground search
w i t h the air search. Special
thanks is due radio station KURY
for their broadcasts requesting
information from persons who
m ight have heard or seen the
plane.
There were 103 flights from
Gold Beach in addition to those
from North Bend, Grants Pass and
Roseburg. It would be impracti
cal to list the many people who
assisted in this search but we do
feel it is important to list a few.
The pilots who participated with
us from the Gold Beach area in
clude Oliver Bettis, Fred Stark
weather, Bob Pinkel, Deke Mil
ler, Dick Larrson, Ernie Wilson.
Ed Carpenter, Ed Bennett, and
Dick Olsen, Recognition should
also be given to Fred Fox and
Bill Darnell from Brookings who
are also members of our air
search coordinating team . Their
pilots participating in the search
b e s i d e s themselves included
Clarence Whittaker, A1 Phillips,
and Don Jeffries. Crescent City
pilots who assisted on Sunday
included Ted Findley, H u g h
Blagden, Dale Rupert, Bob Har
per, Tom K in g , John Clarke,
Richard Kindell and Les Mano-
sar. From area 2 (Coos County)
our thanks to Carl Hooker, How
ard Kehl, A1 Powers and Lanny
Boone.
Probably the most important
feature of this search, both in the
air and on the ground, was the
cooperation and sharing of ideas
and information which finally
brought about the location of the
wreckage. By piecing together
the many small bits of informa
tion we finally narrowed the
search down to an area where
pieces of wreckage were found
by Mrs.Murray Walker of Pistol
River,and Dale Lively cf Salem,
on a lead from Ed Carpenter
Qaestionaire On
Way To Hunters
Twenty thousand hunters w ill
assist the game commission
the next few weeks In the annual
survey to determine how many
big game animals, game b ird s,
and waterfowl were taken during
the 1965 seasons.
T h e 20,000 individuals se
lected at random from more
than 325,000 licensed hunters
have been asked to give th e ir
Individual reports on success
or fa ilu re last year. M ailing
of questionnaires to this group,
was completed this week.
P hil Schneider, state game
d ire c to r, requested that re
cipients of the questionnaire
answer a ll questions an.l record
a c c u n te ly success is w e ll as
fa ilu re during last year's hunts.
The questionnaire must then be
returned to the game comm is
sion.
He advised Oregon hunters
that Information from the ques
tionnaires Is used to compute
the total game k ill fo r this
the total game k ill fo r the year.
The game k ill Includes that for
deer, e lk, upland game bl*ds
by species, and for a ll species
of waterfowl.
S.atlstlclans report that total
k ill figures obtained from this
ra n d o m sample of hunters—
about seven percent of the to
t a l- a r e extremely accurate.
For deer, the accuracy of the
total k ill Is plus o r minus
slightly less than one percent.
The accuracy of the elk k ill
and that fo r upland game b ird s
and waterfowl is also close to
the one percent margin of e rr o r
figure.
Total k ill figures fo r the 1965
seasons w ill be available! ila te
February o r early March.
Pirates Drop Weekend Pair In Close-Scoring Contests
Greg Mayea contributed 7 points
each to add to the tally.
T h e n came Saturday night's
'encounter' with the Hruina. I Fils
heartbreaker became a real tear
jerker In the final segments of
play when the local lads law the
game w r e n c h e d away by one
¡mint, 45-44.
This was Just a n o t h e r close
hallgame with fairly even ex
change of goali and free throws
until the I.lit quarter. Then, ai
In the preceding three game«,
the tide began to turn. FhUtbne
pandemonium broke loose with
every new tally from either «tile.
In the last second of play, Bill
llatmakerwas fouled and had a
c h a n c e to even the score and
s e n d the fracas Into overtime.
W ith the crowd fairly berserk.
Hill dunked his first throw, but
the ireslure was too great, and
the last teas letl short of Its mark.
Scott McDonald was high man
with H points. Mayea, Storm
a n d l'hilll;<s each added seven
points. Cook and Olson for 10
and 11 p o i n t s each paced the
Bruins to victory.
Next w e e k finds the Pirates
taking on Bandon on their court
for a triple header.
which enabled planet of our
search group to make the final
discovery near Carpentervllle.
It is unfortwiate that when the
plane was found the three per
sons aboard were not alive but
it does afford a small degree of
satisfaction to successfully fight
the overwhelming odds against
finding it in the rugged search
area and to erase any doubts of
suffering on the ¡»art of the vic
tims.
We do not purport to be ex
perts inthe *'ield of aerial search
and rescue but from each search
we conduct we gain knowledge
and from this one we learned
things which will be incorpor
ated into the statewide system.
The Gold Beach Flying Club
plans a regular meeting on Jan
uary 29,1966 and we would wel
come those interested or with
suggestions or questions to at
tend and express themselves. We
appreciate th e contributions
made to our search fund in Dick's
name andean assure the donors
that these contributions will be
properly applied.
Again,to all who participated
in this search,both in the air and
on the ground, we say, thank you.

In an anr aal review of the
food Industry Issued by Paul
S. W illis , president of the Gro
cery M a n u f a c t u r e r s of Am
e rica , the status of the food
Industry in 1965 Is described
as “ better than e v e r."
According to W illis , the total
volume of food consumed in the
United States reached $87 b il
lion in 1965, a gain of $3 111-
llon over 19C4. Another $3-
b llllc n increase is expected in
1966.
Several factors have con
tributed to the gain: expanding
population, rising after-tax in
comes and demand by consum
ers for better quality and more
easy-to-prepare food.
The national food executive
claim s the food Industry is
the largest private business In
the w orld, with one out ofevery

four worklnt Americans earn
ing part o r a ll of their Incomes
In helplm put food on American
tables.
W illis stresses that food Is a
bargain, pointing to the fact
that in 1965 the American con
sumer spent a sm aller portion
of his after-tax dollar for food
than at any time In h lsto ry--o n ly
18.5? In 1965, compared with
26? just 15 years ago.
The p ro fit picture In the food
Industry was good also, accord
ing to W illis , with the net p ro fit
edging up to approximately 3.5?
of each d o lla r sale.
The GMA president says an
important factor in the food
Industry’ s fine record Is Its
freedom to serve the consum
er. "W e must constantly t>e
a lert to the fact that there are
a lw a y s people who advocate
more and more government
control of our Industry. We must
vigorously oppose any such pro
posals which needlessly and
harm fully re s tric t our freedom
to serve the p u b lic ," W illis
said.
A healthy food Industry is
vita l to a healthy agriculture tu t
It does not guarantee It. The
fa rm e rs’ share of the food dol
la r has lagged and the farm er
has not had sufficient muscle
in the m aiket place to command
his fa ir share of the food dol
la r.
We agree with M r. W illis ’
observation that a healthy food
Industry must 1-e free to serve
the public. A griculture must l>e
likewise free to produce what
the market wants.
But there Is one other in
gredient that is essential to a
healthy agricultural Industry.
The economic strength of the
farm er In pricing his product
must be up to that of the food
manufacturers who buy his pro
ducts. A ll prospects point to a
b righter p ro fit future for ag
ricu ltu re provided the farm er
can gain “ more muscle In the
market p la ce ."
Farm Bureau memtiers rec
ognize the future of their o r
ganization is closely related to
a continuing d e v e lo p m e n t of
successful activities In the field
of bargaining and marketing.
