REALTY VIEWS
Abraham Lincoln, a real leader of
men, is commonly accepted as "the
most respected figure in American
History. Now,
with his birthday
near, we should
pay honor to him.
His own humble
origin was in a
log cabin and He
never amassed a
large fortune. But
after a lifetime of
thrift and shrewd
obs e r v a 1 1 on,
"Honest A b e"
Hated his views on home ownership.
"Property Is the fruit of labor;
property is desirable; It is a positive
eood In the world; That some should
be rich shows that others may become
rich, and hence is just encouragement
to industry and enterprise. Let not
him who is houseless pull down the
house of another, but let him work
diligently and build one for himself,
thus by example assuring that his own
shall be safe from violence when
built."
Follow Lincoln's advice. Be thrifty.
Own vour own home. Buy through a
kcm-iuk. Let us snow you the home
or homesite that fits your needs. Call

Assistant Named At
Ashland Forest Office
Dick Henthorne, Klamath
Falls, has been promoted to the
job of district assistant to Forest
Ranger Harold Thomas at the
Ashland office of the Rogue Riv
er national forest, it was an
nounced today at forest head
quarters here.
Formerly a project man at the
Union Creek station of the for
est, Henthorne will have charge
of fire fighting organization,
maintenance of trails, phone
lines, and buildings of the dis
trict. He was graduated from Ore
gon State college with the class
of 1949 and was recreation
guard at Lake O' Woods last
summer. He served at Union
Cree ksince November.
New Zealand And
Australia Aroused
By Russian Threat
Sydney, Australia (U.R) Con
cern is mounting in Australia
and New Zealand over the south
ward push of Asiatic communism
and other Far Eastern political
developments.
Conservative governments of
these countries "down under"
were swept into power by the
recent ousting of entrenched so
cialist labor regimes. Now they
are recasting their foreign poli
cies and checking their defenses.
Both countries are looking to
the Far East and northward to
America and less to London and
Europe. Both want United States
protection as a cardinal point of
foreign policy.
The communists are driving
onward toward the borders of an
unstable French Indo-China. The
United States therefore refuses to
become involved in Formosa.
Australians and New Zealanders
therefore remember with grow
ing uneasiness their predicament
on Dec. 7, 1941.
Isolation Feared
Unrest in Burma. Malaya and
Indo-China remind these people
of the frightening isolation and
the "out on a limb" feeling they
endured when the Japanese at
tacked Pearl Harbor.
Their mounting fears are re-
iiected in the growing space de
voted to discussion of Asiatic
events and backgrounds in news
papers which a few years ago vir
tually ignored the Far East.
It is reflected also by the ex
traordinary importance govern
ments and the press attach to the
British empire conference of for
eign ministers at Colombo.
The drift of events today is re
calling nostalgically to the peo
ple how the United States came
to their aid in 1942.
Suzy (Cat) Mourns
Ignatz Her Friend
Pittsburgh (U.R All cats

eyed tabby belonging to Paul
Hammaker, Dormont, Fa., cur
rently is in mourning for one.
Iznatz, a tiny field mouse cap
tured near the Hammaker home,

maker introduced Ignatz to her
when he tound him. tori while,
the tiny fellow was frightened,
but when he saw that the friend
ly feline meant no harm, he
walked right up and sat on her
tummy. Suzy never batted a
crossed eye.
Each day, Hammaker would
fill the bathtub with water and
put a little boat in it. Ignatz
would dive into the water and
swim out to the boat. Deftly, he'd
euide It to the side of the tub.

push the boat around with her
outstretched raw.

But Ignatz got just a little too
old for a mouse. He finally died,
of natural causes. Suzy hasn't
been the same since.
