TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) Church Women Endorse Klamath Indian Plan Z Medford United Church ; Women have endorsed feder : al purchase for Klamath In ; dian resources as the best of - present proposals being con- - sidered in a three-day hearing closing today in Washington ; D.C. The endorsement was stated in wires to Secretary ; of the Interior Fred A. Sea ; ton. Senator Richard Neuber C ger and to Thomas B. Waters Z chairman of management spe -cialists. This action was taken by the Church Women's iegisla tive committee, headed by . Mrs. S. D. Earhart and Mrs Harlan P. Bosworth Jr. It cul ; minates a four-year study and ; action program concerning ; the problems of the Klamath ; Indian people undertaken by : the Medford United Church Women and similar groups in other parts of the state. ; "The original Klamath Ter- ; mination Bill was passed in I 1954 after inadequate hear- . ings and hasty considera " tion," the committee's state- ment reads. "Since that time the only agreement is that the legislation, Public Law ; 587, will have disastrous re- : suits for the Indian people : the Klamath Basin, the state ' and nation at large. "Great hopes have been raised that the present Sen ; ate hearings before the Sen- ; ate Indian Affairs committee : xvI result in legislation '. amending Public Law 587, - postponing it, or enacting j new legislation providing for ; federal or private purchase ; of the Indian assets. This ac : tion is most urgent in order that the Indian assets will not have to be sold in a disorder ly way and on a 'dump' ba sis. Section 5 of the law, as it now stands, would necessitate selling the assets of those Klamath Indian people wish- ; Disney's Dumbo Booked by Club Disney's colored film, "Dumbo" will be shown at the Griffin Creek school gymnas ium Saturday, February 8, from 1 to 3 p.m. In addition to the Disney film, the pro gram will include "'Cartoon Carnival" in color and an "Our Gang" comedy in black and white.

"Stopgap legislation has moved the termination date forward to 1960. Monday, in Washington, Secretary Sea ton released the appraisal re port that listed the net worth of the Klamath Indian reser vation as S123,725,018. The appraisal, broken down, lists 95 timber units valued at $118,391,610, the bulk of which would have to be sold to satisfy the legitimate ex pectations of those Indians wishing liquidation. "At the Portland hearing held October 2-4, 1957, fed eral and private purchase were debated. The private in dustry proposal presented by the Weyerhaeuser Timber company spokesman stated that sustained yield limita tions which should be put on the timber under any condi tion of sale, and, the restric tions resulting from the big discount on marketing 4 bil lion feet of timber, will make a discrepancy between the full price expeqted by the In dian owners and the liquida tion value. He also stated that the government should make up the difference." Wires and copies of resolu tions were sent by the Ore gon United Church Women from the annual meeting in mid-January. Proponents of the federal purchase plan say that the land should not be sold to pri vate industry unless industry can pay the Indians the full appraisal value without re quiring federal aid. It is said federal ownership can pro tect both Indian groups, those .desiring and those not desir ing liquidation; can guaran tee sustained yield manage ment of tribal Ponderosa for ests; can provide for equal opportunity for large and small lumber operators to benefit from the perpetual yield of this resource and that federal purchase constitutes an investment in watershed control, wild life conserva tion, scenic beauty and recre ation for all citizens now and in the future.

The "judicial" Kellys know what to expect when the mail comes these days. It will bring either clippings from newspapers with pictures of papa Judge Edward C. Kelly, with daughter Noreen and son Bernard, also both judges, or else a letter saying, "we saw in the -paper . . ." Several weeks ago, after The Tribune ran a story and picture about the Kelly family and its three judges, Photographer Kenn Knack stedt sold a copy to United Press. Since then news has come back from people in 15 states, Anchorage, Alaska and Haka long, Hawaii, who have seen the picture. One clipping was from the New York Daily News. . . Dr. Clarence Drummond and wife, Helen, are back from discovering how the other half lives the southern half of the Americas. The Drummonds, who sailed several weeks ago from New Orleans on the Del Norte, took a cruise that kept them 44 days on the water and provided a number of interesting stops. Both are enthusiastic and filled with stories of new sights, new food and new friends. They traveled south to Buenos Aires, where they spent a few days, and also were in Montevideo, Uruguay, and in Rio de Janeiro. The travelers were particularly delighted with Uruguay, which they say is beautiful and has an efficient government. In Brazil they were guests of the Sydney Stock lers, whose son once spent a vacation here in Medford with the Drummonds. Mr. Stockier is a coffee exporter, and the Brazilian family has a summer home at Santos, on the sea shore, and a winter home inland at Sao Paulo. The Drum monds were impressed with the modern architecture, the size and number ot the skyscrapers and other buildings in South America, and report that the Stocklers were most hospitable. In Brazil, common laborers earn about $1.50 a day, they found, and skilled laborers only about $2.50 a day. Although they heard that coffee sells for about the same in Brazil as it does in the United States, a little mental arithmetic made them decide it was actually only half as much as it costs here. The Stocklers told the visitors that the major share of the top quality coffee beans of smaller size are shipped to the United States, while Germany imports great quantities of the type of coffee which is produced in the largest beans. One of the stops en route home was at Curacao, which the travelers also found particularly interesting. The news room seemed to have more than the usual num ber of visitors yesterday, and several stopped in the "wom en's corner" with news, ideas, stories or tips to be followed. Mrs. Harlan Bosworth came in with a story about Medford Council of United Church Women the council legislative committee is focusing attention about disposal of the Klamath Indian lands; Mrs. Lester Adams came to to say that coming down to Medford to club, and Mrs. Carl Wimberly contributions, a leaf from her plied by St. Mark's church, York Times magazine. . The page from the booklet And He said to them 'Come place, and rest a while.' For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat." We have always thought that way back in Biblical days life moved at a more leisurely pace, but apparently there was need even in those days for the Teacher to admonish His disciples to "rest a while." Mrs. W. was struck with the coincidence of her read ing, and we agree, for the article in the New York Times publication was also on rest and leisure, and how so many have not learned the real meaning of "leisure" or what to do with it. "Myth of the New Leisure ticle written by David Dempsey. Author Dempsey says that after spending 20 years "with scarcely a minute to himself that he has decided the leisure class in America is a myth. He even says the. so-called 40-hour week is a myth, points out that one in every 20 workers is holding down more than one job some workers as high as three that nurses and po licemen, and others, work 45 to 48 hours or more a week. Business owners never even think of a 48-hour week, it seems, farmers work at least 50 hours a week, often more, and many high-salaried executives and governmental em ployees in key positions work at least 60 hours a week, says Mr. Dempsey. He doesn't forget the working wife, either, who truly holds down two jobs, he agrees. Moving on to the myth that free time is leisure time, Author Dempsey surveys what we in this nation do during our "end of the day" and week end time. We attend meet ings clubs, lodges, churches and PTA; we take a class in ceramics or rehearse a play, we work as a volunteer at the hospital or at the Red Cross, we square dance, play bridge, go to the movies, collect money for drives and maybe but not very often we sit down and read a Great Book. There's the television, too, but Mr. Dempsey says that even the lure of the "idiot box" doesn't keep civic-minded Americans away from what they consider their "must" ac tivities. The pace, it seems, is gruelling, so bad in fact that many women give up committee work, ticket selling, tele phoning and cooking for church sales and take a job just to get a little rest. But what about true recreation, you ask? Author Demp sey says that we've made great strides, what with recreation centers, hobbies, etc. Millions bowl, play tennis or golf, own boats, or go fishing. Even this isn't what it seems, though. It adds up, he says, but only to the pursuit of leisure, and not OOOOOOOOOOOOOO u famous top quality Bruce Self-Polishing Wax now only 79t a quart This is the very same Bruce Self Polishing Wax that sold for S1.09 a qt The only change ;- is the price.

He also visited Neil Plumley. leisure itself. Our week ends are more strenuous than the working week, and we come home from vacations exhausted. There's more, along the same line and it all concludes with the idea that our society must become "leisure direct ed," that we must become a "democracy of interests rather than an anarchy of pursuits" and that we must learn to really play without feeling guilty. He also points out the value of leisure arts, the easel, the piano or the work bench, and that great part they play in a nation's culture.

The reason: Business, not sentiment. Davis said it used to be that a "deb" debuted singly, with maybe a whole ballroom and 75-piece orchestra to help make her bow to society a success. Papa shelled out anywhere from $10,000 to 8100,000 for the event. Now, said maestro Davis, the trend is to the mass debut, with anywhere from 25 to 250 girls presented in one grand swoop. "This, said Davis, with a twinkle in his eye," cuts down on an orchestra's gross in come." Davis said the trend to the mass debut started about 10 years ago, apparently for economy reasons. "Now," he said, "a deb can come out for as little as $150. Not count ing her gown, of course." Actually, I don't think Meyer Davis needs to worry about finances. He has some 50 orchestras bearing his name on tap for social whing- dings and is booked through ! 1969. ! Davis has been the suave purveyor of dance music for the nation's gentry since ! 1913. His mother wanted him to, be a lawyer, and he might have made it, except for a school incident. The orches tra in his high school in Washington, D. C, wouldn't let fiddler Davis join. So he organized a rival band and soon was swiping party dates from the other outfit. He's been playing party dates ever since, with his beat mostly the Eastern Seaboard. Now his books are a multi million dollar operation.

He thinks the most fabulous party of all was in the 1930's, when one of the Widener girls in Phila delphia came out. "We had a 100 - piece or chestra, and 2600 guests," said Davis. Hanging in his office is a photostat of the check for his fee $10, 000. The orchestra leader even after all these years of hob nobbing with the "400" isn't in the Social Register.
