Most of the berries will he for local consumption but some will go to Klamath Kails, Yreka and Coos Hay. They will appear In markets for the first time in the new crates made for the associa tion and marking them plainly as a southern Oregon product. ' Kasworm warned that con sumers can expect high prices on berries throughout the season. Due to the weather-created short age, processors are paying pre mium prices this year that are as high as 22 cents a pound and a good manv tons of the crop will find their way out of the fresh fruit market into pies and ice eream. The season will last for most of the month of June. MAYBE NO NICKELS Paterson. N. J June 2 U.R Harold Shapiro. 33, a $22,000-a-year toy salesman of Preakness, N.

IJ'ULV '.afaH Lumber Demand To Hold The building boom looks good for two or three more years, and it could become permanent, accord ing to a recent Fortune magazine article which is of special interest in lumber this. D1 ESCRIBING the upsurge in building as the crucial nroD beneath the great postwar boom as a whole, the magazine asserts that for some time. Although some phases mercial, industrial and utilities construction are ap parently past their first postwar peak, road building and housing are still going strong, if not actually gathering momentum. THE $7 billion worth of A okl-ir r.nf Tin f Vii'a lmai ble for as much as $3 billion worth of new neighbor hood shopping centers, streets and highways, power lines, schools and churches. All of this activity, it is pointed out, is a prime influence on industrial plant expansion, from the carpet business to copper production. THE U. S. building industry has delivered about 2,500,000 new houses and apartments in the last two and a half years, Fortune states, and by so doing it has confounded prophets in several camps the real estate spokesmen who declared there could be no upsurge in building with rent control, and the labor and government representatives who charged that private enterprise couldn t priced for a mass market. rESPITE the great flood ing shortage has not adds, estimating that it would take 3,000,000 more dwellings to work off the backlog of demand inside three years. Starting at that time (1953-56) the bulk of the country's $34 billion worth of E bonds come to maturity and then the builders may get a shot at a real replacement market. In regard to long time continuation of the con struction tide, Fortune concludes that if the United States were to replace only one per cent of its housing supply every year, the builders would have an annual market for 400,000 replacement units, as well as 500, 000 dwellings for new families. e e e e CONCERNING the outlook for lumber prices as re- fleeted by home building costs, Business Week magazine brings the information that reports from the Chicago metropolitan areas show costs rising rather ominously again. Average cost of a single-family dwelling in 1948 was $9,800. There was a downtrend early in 1949, but that was soon reversed and by March of this year the average was up to $11,500. E.C.F. A Nichols' Worth of Comment On By HARMAN United Press Washington. June 2 (U.R) This modern fancy soap will do anything including fill a base- m e n i wnn suds. That is, If you don't know how to use the stuff or don't read the directions. I didn't know how to use it and I failed to read the direc tions. Mama is out of town at the moment and 1 thought it was foolish to waste money sending laundry out since there was a fine machine in the basement which is advertised to do every thing to your wash except put It back In the drawers. Work in a laundry. I discov ered. Is no job for a tired old newspaperman. L,eave that to somebody else and consider a lesson learned. I ran Into all sorts of trouble. First of all I gave by duds a good soaking. While I was at it I dropped a bottle of blueing into the tub and the label came off. I rescued the bottle, pitched me laoei away and went upstairs to iook at the evening papers. Maybe there were some direc tions on the label that I should have read. But, 1 dirin t. Better Performance Eyed Later, 1 went back down to give the wash the soap treat ment in the washing machine. I understand that a cupful of the flakes Is enough, but my things were pretty soiled. So 1 thought that if a cupful was normal for normal people, a whole junior box would do a better perform ance. I dumped It all In. turned the machine on and then picked up the jar of blueing, which is sup posed to the best of authorities to make things white, Iresh smelling and fluffy. This particular machine washes, rinses, gives the things a fast whirl and wrings them out, ready for the drier. I was saving time and mnnev. The Job was almost done. Mania couldn't give me any sass about Harman Nichols The DARDENELLES ft Opposite Cold Hill on the Old Stage Road w Closed Mondays, Open Sundays and Holiday! at 1 p.m. Open Week Days at 4 p.m. Rogue Room - Enjoy Our Fine Foods For Reservations - Phone Cold Hill 490 RUBY QUAKENBUSH, Proprietor Friday.

Shouldn't Have Started Upstairs and back to the papers. 1 waited what I thought was a reasonable length of time and then went back down to have a look at the handiwork. I should have stayed behind my papers. Suds was pouring out of the basement door and the machine, like old faithful, was pumping out more by the minute. There was at least two feet of foam on the floor and more coming up. With the machine finally turn ed off after I had rolled up my britches, there was a half hour session with the mop. The situation finally drained down to normal and I turned the machine on again. The rinsing and fast whirl took place, as advertised. Then I took the stuff out.

Ore., June 2 (U.R) The Western Pine association to day issued the following report of comparative figures on lumber orders, shipments and production for the week ending May 27, based on, information for 92 identical mills. The report covered Idaho white pine, ponderosa pine, su gar pine and associated species. Others totaled fl0.fll7.000 feet, compared with 63.0S2.000 feet for the previous week and 5.2, BOS, 000 feet for the correspond ing week last year. For the year to date orders are 17 per cent more than for the same period in 1949. Ship ments show an Increase of 28 per cent and production an in crease of nine per cent.

On the Side"8 f v -DuW (Distributed by Klua features Syndicate, lacJ Prayer Is the burdrn of a sigh The falllns of a tear, The upward Rlaiirlng of an eye When none but God Is near. Montgomery. Ever know anybody owning a dog named Sheba? I never did. .seems quite a cute name for pup. Strange more people haven t thought of it. Anyway, the "Little Sheba referred to in the smash hit play titled, "Come Back, Little Sheba," is a dog. This play is cleverly written and brilliantly acted, but it certainly presents an extremely grim pic ture of life among the married. I don't know exactly how many major misfortunes a married couple can experience, but the man and wife in "Come Back, Little Sheba" must have suf fered from at least 99 per cent of them. To top all tins hard luck they lost their dog "Little Sheba." Why is it when play wrights go in for "realism" they nearly always depict the tragic side of life? Plays where the people portrayed are happy can be realistic, too. I am weary of these grim plays and films. I come In contact with too much sadness in real life to enjoy see ing it depicted at the theater. Vacation Spots. Where are you going to spend your summer vacation? I have just been thinking of wonderful places where I have lived or spent vacations in the good old summertime. The names of some of these enjoyable spots follow: Walker Valley. N. Y.; Pleasant ville, N.Y.; Lake Luzerne, N.Y.; Asbury Park, N. J.; Allenhurst, N. J.; Santa Monica, Calif.; San Clemente, Calif.; Coronado, Cal.; Saratoga Springs. N. Y.; Bretton Woods. N. H.: Mosehead Lake (Kineo), Me.; Nantasket Beach, Mass.; Milford, Pa. (on the Dela ware river); Lake Waccabuc, N. Y.: and Cannes, on the French Riviera. Passing By. Ethel Waters. Highly versatile singer and dramatic actress. Now featured in one of the best plays on Broadway, namely. "The Member of the Wedding." Ethel certainly has had a long and brilliant career. If you can remember in what moving pic ture she sang "Am I Blue?" I may be able to get you into the Young Old Timers . . . Tallulah Bankhead. The Alabama fire brand. Still appearing in Noel Coward's play, "Private Lives." Maybe it isn't such a bad idea for an actress to stay with a good part as long as she can. I believe the record for playing the same Kart for the longest period is eld by Joseph Jefferson who appeared as Rip Van Winkle for over forty years. Wedding Rings. When a woman wears her wedding ring on the third finger of her right hand it indicates she is a widow. That's what a New Yorker claimed and a num ber of widows who wear their wedding rings in that fashion agreed with him. Now a Chica goan points out this practice if not confined to widows. She saysi in the Greek Orthodox wedding, NEXT WEEK ft4 By Roland Coa usually a double ring ceremony, the ring is placed by the minis ter on the right hand of both man and wife. They usually con tinue to wear the rings that way. Concludes the Chicagoan: "My mother and dad have been wear ing their wedding rings on their right hands for forty-six years!" Asides. It is against the law to serve free lunch at a bar in Milwau kee. Too bad. Maybe the bars could sell the lunch and serve free beer. ... A Bostonian says that in 1906 he attended some ostrich races in Jacksonville, Fla. The jockeys were little Negro boys. He says that during one race an ostrich stopped to lay an egg and then continued to race. Asking. Queries from clients. Q. Isn't Eddie Arcaro, often called by you "America's greatest jockey," noted for strongly applying the whip to his mounts? A. Arcaro doesn't apply the whip much. He just waves it at the horse. It is another well-known jockey who is noted for really applying the whip. Incidentally, the King of England will not permit any jockeys riding his horses to carry a whip. Triple-Threat. New Yorker says while In the service in the recent war he met a U. S. Air Force private named James James James. "Ever know of another fellow with a triple-threat name like that?" he asks. I have. There once lived in Los Angeles a man named Jer ome Jerome Jerome. There also was a U. S. Army private named Solomon Solomon Solomon.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS State Secretary Acheson to a joint session of congress: ". . . the growing power of Russia can be met ONLY by or ganizing the military might of me west (meaning U.S. and western Europe) into balanced collective forces . . . ". . . The western nations have reached another TIME OF DECI SION in which they must either strengthen their North Atlantic treaty and their western Euro pean partnerships or risk falling backward into total failure . . . ". . . The president has author ized me to say that he supports Defense Secretary Johnson and me in our view that we MUST MAKE THIS PRINCIPLE WORK . . ." IN ANOTHER time of crisis, the 1 same thought was put in this much briefer form: "EITHER WE MUST ALL HANG TOGTHER (in this emer geny) OR WE WILL HANG SEPARATELY." PRESIDENT James R. Killian 1 Jr., of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to the 59th an nual convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, in Boston: "If science is freed from the restrictions and suspicions of the cold war, I expect (among other tnings). "... A new stream of ideas. products and processes to im prove health and living stand ards . . . flicker-free color tele vision, probably three-dimension al .. . air travel at speeds up to 1000 miles an hour or more . . . synthetic foods and better ways of preserving foods . . . . . . Increased use of solar energy to heat our homes . . . possible use of the earth's heat as a new source of energy . . . efficient conversion of sea water into fresh water" (thus, maybe, preventing dry southern Califor nia from stealing our Klamath basin water.) MIT's President Killian, speak ing from the standpoint of the physical sciences, laid it on on the hopeful side. He was fol lowed before the women's club bers general federation by Har vard Anthropologist Ernest A. Hooton, who spoke from the standpoint of the SOCIAL SCI ENCES and took a dimmer view of the next half a century. Hooton said (in part): "Man has acquired control over some of the forces of na ture, but he has acquired no more SELF CONTROL AND NO MORE INTELLIGENCE with out which human behavior can not behave , . . ". . . Scientists are paying the penalty for spending our brains on IMPROVING MACHINES rather than ON IMPROVING MAN HIMSELF . . . ". , . Irresponsible science al ready has obliterated geographi cal barriers . . . and also has put into the hands of predatory man terrible destructive weapons to arm the ignorant hordes these predatory men dominate . . ." GETTING into his stride, Hoot on went on: "If we could teach mankind to STOP OVERBREEDING. most of our domestic and international problems would disappear. We could then GET RID OF WAR, because (with fewer people) there would be room, food and employment for everyone. "The basis of warfare, apart from competitiveness and stupid ity, is OVERPOPULATION. PRETTY hot stuff. Most of It over my head. This is the way I put it to myself: We have fantastically perfect ed machines with which to de stroy each other. At the same time, we have fan tastically perfected our tech niques of argument, disagree ment and group conflict. It seems to me that unless we pay more serious (even prayer ful) attention to the techniques of getting along with each other we are headed for bad trouble. BY THE NAME 1 Oregon Will MED FORD efj.

Work Being Pushed on Super Hydrogen Bomb Washington. June 2 (U.R) This country is pushing work on the hydrogen super bomb de spite fears of some experts that in so doing it may be wasting atomic resources. Recently Dublishod sugges tions that the atomic high com mand has just about decided to abandon the H-bomb project are not true, an authoritative source said today. Plant Being Converted Ihe fact appears to be that the atomic energy commission is converting at least one of its mammoth production piles at Hanford, Wash., to the manufac ture of tritium. Tritium is a form of heavy hydrogen which scientists say can be made to unleash nuclear forces on an unimaginable vio lent scale. Three atomic reactors were built at Hanford during the war to manutacture plutonium, the man-made explosive used in the most up-to-date atomic bombs. Since the war, it has been offic ially announced that a fourth production pile has gone into operation at Hanford. Additional reactors may be going up. Neutrons Turn Trick The same piles which manu facture plutonium can be rejig gered to manufacture tritium. The trick is turned in each case with neutrons, nuclear particles released by splitting atoms of the rare kind of uranium called U-235. A former atomic energy com missioner. Dr. Robert F. Bacher, doubts that the H-bomb will be useful enough from a military standpoint to justify diversion of precious neutrons away from Cat Fancier Shoots Prized Racing Dog Portland, Ore., June 2 (U.R) A racing dog was shot and killed by an irate Portland cat fancier yesterday when the greyhound chased a cat under the house of Glen E. Baton. The dog, shot by Baton when it chased one of Baton's cats un der his house, was valued by his owner, James F. Gutherie. at $1000. Gutherie told sheriff's depu ties that his dogs broke out of their kennel when Baton's cats came into the yard and stirred them up.

The H-bomb theoretically might be hundreds of times more destructive thn the P-bomb. But, atom for atom, more energy can be extracted from the original source (U-235) by using its neu trons to make plutonium. No Limit The H-bomb's greater poten tial derives from the fact that theoretically there is no limit as there is in the case of the plu tonium weapon to its size. But Bacher's view is that 10 P bombs, say, would be more ef fective in war than a single H bomb of as great or even greater explosive power. The military, however, wants the new weapon. And a compel ling argument in favor of mak ing it is that Russia probably also is embarked on an H-bomb project. With this PIN! lyou can jHEAR QM !a pin drop! j ...
