THE BEND BULLETIN and CENTRAL OREGON PRESS .., Robert W. Chandler,. Editor and Publiiner . Phil F. BroKsn, Awodato Editor Member, Audit Bureau at Circulation Catered u Becood CUh Maltfr, January 6, 1817, at the Poat Otflos ' at Bend, Oregon under Act of March S, 179. ' An Independent Newspaper The Bend Bulletin, Never Can Tell Motorists have seen some strange eights on interior "Oregon highways through the years. tZ Consider the case of George Stephenson, of Portland, was driving toward Bend ; -;;when suddenly three buffalo ! "--the highway. I li- In remote days, herds ; Jwgh desert. Ana long oeiore tne coming 01 wnite men, Z -they lived in the rangeland rim country. Sand-polished ! :;Eones of extinct species have been found in the wind de ! flated basins of old south-central Oregon lakes. ' 'tZ .. But that was long ago. No wonder George Stephenson ' 'ZSm surprised to see three winter-haired bisbn move across ! JShe highway, near the Lake - Harney line on U. S. High- 20. 1 Then there was the case of the motorist who on last March 13 crashed into a herd of antelope on that s&me ' highway, just west of Millican. Eighteen pronghorns were I killed in the crash, to make news that found its way across ! the United States in words and pictures. ! But possibly the strangest of all sights on mid-Oregon ! .. .highways was that reported a number of years back by ! ' ;the late M. R. Matthew of The Dalles and Camp Sherman. I "Big Matt" Matthew had often read about strange " creatures that roamed over the John Day country in an ' cient days, and continued to graze into Mascall and later times. Some of those animals of prehistoric times included dainty camels, and, later, the huge giraffe camels that lived on lands above the Columbia lavas. , Possibly "Big Matt" was not thinking about Oregon's ancient mammals one night when he was driving over the S old Ochoco pass route. But suddenly on the highway di ! rectly ahead there they were camels ! 1 But those camels had not been revived from the Mas- call clays. They were real life camels of the present. They "were part of a circus herd. I If there is any lesson for motorists in these experi- - enecs it should be this: . : Drive carefully there may be a bison, an antelope or a camel just around the curve. ' . Stories Without End Two serials that might be considered the greatest mystery stories of the century appear in Colliers and Wo l man's Home Campanion thia.veek end. --. They are stories thai magazines. Both magazines current issue, bearing the January, 1957, date. The first installment of a new serial, "The Blue Ca '', mellia," by Frances Parkinson Keyes, appears in the Com panion. Tho second installment of a three - part story, ;' ;Doom Cliff," by Luke Short of western fiction fame, ap pears in Colliers. Neither magazine mentions that it is to suspend pub lication. That news was carried by newspapers and the radio. However, Colliers editors must have had a premoni tion. Murder," is complete. A mystery story in that magazine, "The Christmas Many readers now in the middle of Luke Short's western story will want to know how it ends. They are . suscribers, and they have tho right to make tho request. Colliers' subscription list is said to involve about $8 million. This huge sum is owed to some thrift million readers. There will be a refund to those subscribers. Checks might be accompanied by a , of "Doom Cliff." Unless this is done, the I topper of the century.

International TV Within 5 Years Seen by Sarnoff By ROBERT W. SARNOFF NBC President Wrlten For United Press That television set in your liv ing raom will soon be taking on new importance. Within live years, that set may be taxing you across the seas in the same way that it now whisks you around the continent on such shows as ' Wide Wide World." This is not blue-sky talk! Inter national television, with live pro grams spanning the oceans, is al ready technically possible. Some day it will be a practical reality. You may be witnessing opera performances at La Scala in Mil an, great snorts events at the Velodrome d'Hiver In Paris, Mar- di Cras frolics on he Riviera ana major news events as they occur in world capitals. When that day comes, we will be ready. At NBC we have set up department of international operations. Us job is to maintain close contact with TV systems all over 'he world. 'Its aim is to make1 the top attractions of television all over the world available to Amer ican vicwcs, on a live basis wher ever possible. Naturally, international televi sion is a two-way street. We ex pect our own programs will also jeeome part of tho home-viewing chedulc of other na'ions. Last spring, NBC executives sat down in Italy with representa lives of the eight European net works which are linked together in a hook-up known as Eurovision Out of this conference came work- me arrangements between Euro vision and NBC. All parties con corned- 're most exci'ed about prospects for transatlantic pro gramming. Today. American television the most advanced in the world. We have acquired a great amount of technical and program ming know-how, and we are mak ing it available to TV networks and sta'.ions in other nations. We are also preparing to send team? of consultants to help foreign net works In the developmental stage This is in keeping with the policy of our government and of other private industires in providing technical assistance abroad. Bv helping to develop 'clevisior skills abroad, and by preparing for international programming we hope we arc contributing tr the future growth of sight-and sound communications as a now erful force for peace.

TtEND FUNERAL HOME Hill & C.reclv Sts. Ph. EV 2-5552 teji (irrat Promises ! A3. H ft WW J- J Christmas Not Celebrated By Russians MOSCOW (UP) There are still 14 shopping days till Christmas in Moscow. That is because Orthodox Rus sians celebrate Christmas on Jan. 7 according to a calendar which is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar used in the West. But the -fact is that most Soviet citizens do not celebrate Christ mas at all. The big holiday is New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. That is when a rotund, white- bearded gentleman in a Darning red gown comes Irom the North Pole in a sled pulled by reindeer. He has a bagful of presents lor pood little boys and girls. For adults, he usually has a Bottle. of vodka or georgian wine. He isn't Santa Claus. .His cneeks are not as red. his eyes do not twinkle and when he laughs its not "like a bowl ifull of Jelly.' But he is a dignified relative "Grandfather Frost." He carries a staff. A reasonable facsimile of Christ mas has already come to Moscow. Big shops are bedecked with strings of colored lights, tir trees and mammoth cardboard signs ad vertising holiday specials. Counters are laden with glass and metal balls shaped like cas tles, fruits baskets, animals and nuts. They will adorn the tradi tional "yelka" or fir tree. This is a fairyland for any child and any tree. The concentration of color Is rare in this wintry city. In some stores salesgirls are dressed in holiday costumes with full skirts, boleros and puffed sleeve blouses, ice cream wo men are selling extra rations The most exciting party will be in the Kremlin itself at New Year's. In white marble St. George's Hall. thousands of children will gather 'round a 40-foot evergreen, decor ated with colored balls, red, yel low and blue lights and yards of silvery tinsel. Moscow's leading actors, clowns and acrobats will present a spec ial variety show with scenes from Russian fairy tales: There will be sleeping beauty and the snow maiden, brown bears and wnite rabbits and Grandfather Frost himself. Each child will receive a gift: a box of candy and cookies and a precious orange. New Reports Of Russian Unrest Made STOCKHOLM (UP)r- New re ports of spreading unrest in Rus sia and its satellite empin reached the West today, and tw Baltic refugees said the Soviet was deporting ltio.ouo studen' from the Baltic states to crush growing resistance there. The two men were identified as August Rei. chairman of the Es- thoniar. "National Council," and former Lithuanian Minister Igna: Scheynius. They told newsmen that opposi tion against Soviet rule in the Bal tic is stronger than ever. They said they appeal to the United Na tions to protest the deportations : "methodical genocide." Their statement was one of an increasing number of reports from behind the Iron Curtain indicating widespread unrest in countries un der Commumst rule. Political observers in Moscow predicted today the Soviet Com munist Partv Central Committee will crack down on students who have taken advantage' of the de Stalinization campaign to he over-ty-critical. The policy-making Cen tral Committee met secretly for the second day in a row today to review overall Soviet policy at home and abroad. HERE'S HOW WASHINGTON (UP) Sign prosperity?

MAGiLL 117 Oregon Ave Food Biggest " Factor in Jump In Living Cost WASHINGTON (UP) Higher food prices have been the biggest factor dn virtually doubling- your cost of living since 1939, govern ment figures showed today. The official cost of living index maintained by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reached a rec ord level in October. At that time, according to bupeau figures, food prices were almost 2M times high er than in 1939. Clothing costs were slightly more than double their 1939 level. Rents, on the other hand, were up about 50 per cent. The figures are based on the buying habits of "moderate-income" city families. Translated into purchasing pow er, the figures means that the av erage city family's $1 bill today will buy about 50 cents worth of, what it would buy in 1939. It will buy only 41 cents worth of food ' and 49 cents worth in clothing. Be cause of the slower rise in rents, ; the $1 paid in rent in 1939 is worth 65 cents loday. t The sharpest rises in the cost of living generally and in food and clothing costs in particular took place- during the World War II and the postwar years. In the 11 years from 1939 to 1950, the cost of living rose 73 per cent, food prices 115 per cent, clothing prices 87 per cent. In the same period, the purchas ing power of your consumer dol lar dropped to 58 :ents in terms of 1939 prices, the food dollar to 47 cents and the clothing dollar to 54 cents. Rents' rose only 5i per cent between 1939 and 1946, mainly be cause of World War II rent con trols. They climbed 19 per cent between the end of the war and 1950 when rent controls were be ing removed. They climbed anoth er 20 per cent between 1950 and 1955. The gift that whispers. . WOMAN...
