California Officials
Acting To Forestall
Klamath 'Water Grab'
Yreka. Cal. (U.R) Northern
California county officials
Thursday went ahead with plans
to forestall what they called "a
water grab by the U. S. bureau
of reclamation ' along the Klam
ath river.
The Siskiyou county, Califor
nia, Board of Supervisors ap
pointed Frank Lathrop of the
county assessor's office'to make
an investigation and report on
the water needs in Siskiyou
county. . ,
California State Senator Ran
dolph Collier, Republican of
Yreka, present at the meeting,
said he recently talked with
Gov. Douglas McKay of Oregon.
Police Firearms
Classes Scheduled
A four-day course in the han
dling of firearms, particularly
pistols, will be sponsored here
from July 22 to 24 inclusive by
the Medford police department,
it was announced today by Po
lice Chief Clatous McCredie.
McCredie said that Special
Agent Bill Williams, in charge
of the Portland office of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
will conduct the school, to be
held at the Camp White pistol
range. Two classes will be given
each of the four days, so that all
full-time law enforcement offic
ers in this area may attend. All
Medford officers will take the
course, the chief said.
The school, first of its kind
ever given in . southern Oregon,
will be largely a, practical pistol
use course, and will include in
struction in ballistics, firearms
theory, dry firing and target
firing, using silhouettes rather
than bull-eye firing. A firearms
demonstration will be given on
the last day of the four-day
course.
McKay, according to Collier, in
dicated he was in favor of inter
state co-operation' in the matter
of surveying the northern California-southern
Oregon counties:
water needs so long as the inter
ests of Klamath county, Oregon,
were not abused.
Collier said "the bureau is in
terested only in taking our wat
er to reclaim land and use it to
run hydro-electric plants. It is
not interested in the affect this
action would have on fishing
and mining along the Klamath
river.".
Report Ready in 1954
Earlier it had been recom
mended the water not be divert
ed prior to completion of
water-needs study in the areas
affeGted. The Lathrop report
was expected to be completed
within six months and would be
consolidated in a state of Calif
ornia report. The bureau s re
port,- Collier said, would not be
ready until June, 1954.
However, Collier indicated
that action by the Trinity coun
tv, California, Board of Super
visors in allowing the bureau to
divert Trinity water has en
dangered the water rights of
northern California.
Attacks "Deal"
Collier lashed out at what he
called a deal by which Trinity
agreed to allow the bureau to
divert Trinity water in ex
change for government help ' in
building schools, roads and oth
er county facilities. Collier pre
dicted that the outcome of the
Trinity county action would be
"the eventual destruction of its
industry and its incorporation
with Shasta county.
The Siskiyou Board of Super
visors also announced a meeting
of "policy and executive type"
to be held in Klamath Falls,
Ore., to select commissioners io
act to block any. Bureau of Re
clamation move to divert water
from the Klamath river watershed.
US Farmers Debate Civil
War on Visit to Uruguay
Washington (UP) Take a
red-headed Yankee and a pep
pery southerner and the chances
are you'll get a debate on the
Civil War, even if the locale hap
pens to be Uruguay.
That's what happened when
two young American farm boys,
Richard Alyn Jones, Orange,
Mass., and Roy Lonnie Shelton,
Jr., Birmingham, Ala., toured
the South American country.
They spent five months visiting
and working" with farm families
there ' under the International
Farm Youth exchange program.
Jones, 21, and Shelton, 19,
came home without agreeing on
who won the war between the
states. They are, however, of one
mind about Uruguay they like
it but the influence of Ameri
can films in foreign countries
they didrft like it.
On 15 Farms
Jones, an animal husbandry
student, and Shelton, who has
run his own 180-acre dairy farm
in Alabama for four years, chose
to go to Uruguay because live
stock is the principal farm
"crop" there. They lived on 15
farms and spent an average of
nine days on each. -
They said they had to "prove"
they weren't "rich, spoiled,
young Americans" before they
were fully accepted. -
Shelton won one bout by rid
ing bareback on a bucking
bronco. They both convinced
another farm family when they
kept up with hand hay loading
alongside a trotting team of
horses. Normally, the horses
walk between the hay stacks and
workers toss loads onto the wag
on as they go.
"It was pretty hard," Jones
said, "but we did it for two
days, and then everything was
all right."
The two blamed "lousy, old,
grade Z" American movies for
the confused picture that some
Uruguayans have of Americans.
They also thought the bad films
gave local communists a lot of
ammunition.'
The two enjoyed their South
American trip, nonetheless, but
they are glad to get back home.
Shelton is "way behind on my
planting."
This summer the IFYE will
send 90 more young Americans
abroad, some to Iran, Iraq, Syria
and Turkey. More than 132 stu
dents-from 42 participating coun
tries will come here to visit and
work on U. S. farms during the
year. .
One of the few international
projects carried on without the
use of any federal or state funds,
the IFYE is-financed by money
raised by local 4-H clubs and
other interested groups.
The agriculture department's
extension service, the State De
partment, and the association of
land grant colleges help in set
ting up the exchanges from this
country.

Sweets Come Second
For Marine Regiment
With First Marine Division in
Korea (U.R) Members of the
First Marine Regiment prefer
"heat-and-serve" food, dehydrat
ed soups and pre-cooked prepar
ations over sweets and other
confections, according to a survey.
Although Marines are kept
healthy with chow from the
galley, or when necessary from
"C" rations, they still like to
have delicacies occasionally
which are not provided in regu
lar rations.
Cans of chili, soups, tuna, sar
dines and meat sandwich
spreads were rated high on the
preferred list.
Pepperoni was listed as favor
ite among meat items. It may be
kept for long periods without
danger of spoiling. When a Ma
rine wants a midnight snack, he
can slice a piece of the Italian
sausage and eat if without any
preparation other than peeling
off the covering.
Cheese Welcomed
Other cherished gifts from
home are sharp cheese and
cheese spreads. A box of crack
ers will make sandwiches when
crackers cannot be obtained
from a field galley or from "C"
rations. In the way of liquids,
4,instant" cocoa has top rating,
followed by tea bags and bouil
lon cubes.
As far as fruit it concerned,
the Marines voted canned
orange juice in first place. Sec
ond choice was tomato juice
Dried apricots and prunes make
excellent dishes when stewed in
canteen cups with sugar cubes
added.
For the - rweet tooth, hard
cookies and "heavy" cake, such
as fruit or raisin cake made
without milk are ideal to send
because - they will not become
spoiled or stale en route.
They Like Fudge
Chocolate fudge and hard
candy are the most appropriate
confections. However, service
men in Korea receive daily PX
rations of chocolate bars and
other kinds of candy. "C ra
tions provide one confection
daily. Cigarettes are also includ
ed in PX and "C" rations.
. Items other than footstuffs
which are generally needed in
clude candles, or perhaps, a
flashlight with extra batteries
and bulbs, and stationery. Oft
en those things can be bought in
the PX but the man on the front
line is usually not able to get to
an exchange until his outfit goes
into reserve.
If sent by air mail, the pack
age will be received in about
eight or nine days. If air mail
is too expensive, a parcel post,
which takes about a month to
reach Korea, can be sent at mod
erate rates. A fee of '.'special
handling" will assiire fast serv
ice and good care of the
package.
LOST IS FOUND
Marion, O. (U.R) Gardening
this year was worth more money
to Roger Campbell than usual.
While setting out plants, he
found a billfold he lost last
year. It still had the $15, with
the bills in goodcondition con
sidering the one-year burial.

Helicopter Service
For Mail in Europe
Operates 21 Months
. Brussels (U.R) Europes :
first regular helicopter air mail :
service, run jointly by the Be- '
: j. l - 1
gian post ouice ana neigian air- m
lines celebrated its "coming-of- ' I
age" this month.
It is 21 months, in September, !
1950, since the first helicopter i
took off from Haren Airfield !
near Brussels on a round-Bel- i
gian collection and distribution !
trip. j
Since then Belgians have be-i
come so accustomed to seeing the t
wasp-like machines , carrying i
the "flying postman" hovering j
above their cities that they sel- j
dom look up. ' - i
The idea of pioneering the
heli-post in Belgium came to j
Postmaster-General M. Pineaux
two years ago after a trip to '
Peterborough, England, where :
he witnessed a maneuverability I
demonstration by helicopters. On
his return he consulted Belgian
Airlines (Sabena) and arranged
for the purchase of two Ameri
can - built machines. '
Trip of 230 Miles
Since then, six days a week,
one of the two helicopters op
erating the service takes off
from Haren on - its 230 - mile
trip around Belgian cities. The
machine makes ten stops en
route at Brussels, Libramont,
Liege, Tongres, Hasselt, Bering
en, Herenthals, Turnout, An
twerp and again Brussels. An
average of 12,000 letters are
picked up or deposited on the
four and a half hour daily run.
The landing grounds, or "hel-i-ports"
as the post office calls
them vary from football grounds
to broad highways. The tight
schedule provides for stopov
ers lasting only one minute ex
cept for. the one re-fueling stop
per trip, when seven minutes are
allowed.
The slow-flying but highly ma
neuverable aircraft can operate
in weather which would ground
most orthodox aircraft and in
many cases delay mail trains.
During last winter, with its
fogs, blizzards and freezing wea
ther, the helipost got through 95
per cent of its scheduled trips.
In summer the efficiency rate
is as high as 99 per cent.
Only One Accident
Only accident has happened
fifteen days after the inaugural
flight, a helicopter crashed into
the River Meuse at Liege when
its engine failed. The pilot
swam ashore and the mail, car
ried in waterproof panniers
strapped "to the fuselage of the
machine, was salvaged. The hel
icopter was , back in service a
few. weeks later and is still fly
ing. Letters delivered by helipost
cost more than ordinary mail.
