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

ing liquidation in order to
pay them, and permit them
to withdraw from the tribal
organization.
"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

. 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

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.

Bandleader
Sighs For
Old Days
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Women's Editor
New York HP) Bandlead
er Meyer Davis, whose pres
ence at society's coming-out
parties and weddings is as in
evitable as the potted palm,
sighs for the good old days of
debuts.
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.
