They are stupendous. No matter who built the Great Pyramid or when some say it was 50,000 years ago i base coe 13 acres in a perfect square f stone, 750 feet on the side. Someone cut 31 feet off the top, but it is still 451 feet high. . We visited the Sphinx, hold ing a temple between its paws, and the remains of the causeway over which 100,000 men are said to have hauled thetone for the Pyramids, then we went for a drive through the narrow country side that lies between the riveiQand-the desert. One astonishing thing about it is the trees. In addition to thorn trees, acacias and syca mores, there were even weep ing willows and elms. The reason is Egypt is a wood hungry land id for years has experimental with grow ing various types of trees, both for shade and lumber. After driving, through a village in which there were clouds of pigeons, we came out on the edge of the desert again. It was near sunset. As we sat there for a few minutes we saw a fennec, a little fox coming in from a big out cropping of rock to hunt for rats and other game that he might find on the edge of the agricultural areas. The fennec, found all along North Africa, is a little fellow with enormous ears. This one was a little under two feet long, his tail accounting for about one-third his length. - He was of a pale reddish, light brown color. ' When heJ 1 X 3 -1 x 1 1 . J.!, naa covered aooui nan me way to vegetation, he decided to reconnoiter and sat down on a flat stone, on his haunches. As I studied his white waist coat through the glasses, he pricked up his big ears and turned his head to one side. He listened intently for a few seconds. Then, head down and on all fours, he seemed to drift off the rock and disap pear among the stones. We waited a little longer but he didn't reappear. We got into the car and started back to Cairo jusOas the last rays of the sun crept up the tips of the twin minarets on Mo hammed Ali Mosque that dom inates the city of 2.000,000. (Copyright. 1958, by The McClure Newspaper q q Syndicate' Future of NATO Depends on French Washington (UPI) Sen. Mike Mansfield declared Sat urday that the future of NATO and the Western Alli ance now depends on General Charles De Gaulle. He called De Gaulle France's "only and proper choice" at this critical moment. Mansfield, the assistant DOnocratic floor leader in the Senate, said he is sure the U.S. government will give "its sympathy, understanding and good will" to the De Gaulle regime. In diplomatic chancelleries here today there was specula tion that President Eisenhow er would invite the wartime Free French leader here for private talks soon after the new government is formed. The possibility of such talks was believed certain to be an item for discussion between Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan when they meet here June 9. Houston, Tex. (UPI) Sen ate Democratic Leader Lyn don B. Johnson called Satur day for a "great national re building" in U.S. foreign and domestic policies.

Servicemen Due Falter Pay Checks Washington (UPI) If you're one of the nation'J 2, 500,000. active and retired servicemen, chances are you'll get a fatter pay check from Uncle Sam at the end of the month. A new law grants a $576, 438,000 military pay hike in an effort to attract and keep skilled men in uniform. It was passed by Congress May 12, signed by President Eisenhow er eight days later and took effect Sunday. All military personnel with more than two years service will get higher pay except for a handful who have -spent years in lower grades with out promotion. ' The act also awards a 6 per cent hike in pay of retired military personnel. The law is an outgrowth of the so-called Cordiner Report which last year urged a size able step-up in military pay.

"The honor of this suc cess is God's, not mine," he told a Sunday afternoon aud ience of 12,000. "We have had success here because people all over the world are praying for San Francisco and this crusade. People are coming because of these prayers, not because of the . preaching; the preaching has been the worst of any of our crusades. "I have so many engage ments that I have little time to prepare my sermons." Sunday's audience brought the total number who have at tended Graham's crusade since it began April 27 to 505,600. Graham spoke on sin and the certainty of judgment for his Sunday sermon. When he finished, 434 came forward to make "decisions for Christ," bringing the total of 17,593 for the crusade. BUTTE FALLS Streets Get Coat Of Oil By MARY JO HARRIS Butte Falls Dirt streets and roadways in Butte Falls were oiled and sanded -Thursday, May 29, to keep down the dust caused by local and tourist traffic and logging trucks.

The broadcast ers argue that audiences fall off in the ium mer, that costs must be cut, that reruni and cheapie quizzes are the fe'illiam Evaid only way out. But the argument is non sense. It's a flimsy excuse for lack of imagination and enter prise. There is no rigid correla tion between cost and quality. Accepting the need for low cost shows in the summer, why not a little inventiveness in the programming area? Why not a low cost drama show that would -use the young talent at the cluster of drama schools in Manhattan like Actors Studio, Herbert Berghof's, Stella Adler's, with each school responsible for, say a production a month. Why no attempt to bring in kinescopes and films of the best TV shows from other countries? Why Hoi 'Best'? Why not propless dramatic readings in the style of such Broadway succeses as "Don Juan In Hell", and "John Brown's Body" as spectacu lars? Why not a 13-week "Best of NBC-TV" or "Best of CBS- TV" that would slot kine scopes from the best moments of Berle, Gleason, Caesar, etc? Why no experiments with jazz groups, dance groups? Why not Showcase for young comics and young comic writers? Why not ulitization of the dozens of folk song festivals music festivals, and drama pageants that so many of this nation's communities present each summer? Why? I dunno. But I have one further suggestion: Why doesn't everybody just turn off his set and sit out in the sun for the rest of the sum mer? Orb Ruddick, Mrs. Red Ca pello, the Misses Shirley Ly tic, Joyce Dillard, Juanita Sheppard, Jeanette Capello, Nita Hawkins and Mrs. Lytle, hostess.

Forest Service wives met at the home of Mrs. Randall Perkins recently for a com bination dinner and baby shower for Mrs. Bob Snoich of Medford. Women attended from Med ford, Prospect, Ashland, Butte Falls, and Union Creek Ran ger station. Also attending were Mrs. Alvin Perkins and Edna Santos of Shady Cove. Mrs. Alvin Perkins and Edna are the mother and sister of Randall Perkins. New Forest Service people in Butte Falls are the Zane Smith family. The Smiths are formerly of Reese Air Force Base, Lubbock, Texas. Zane was a first lieutenant there. He is the Timber Sales Of ficer now at the Butte Falls Ranger Station.

Re-Run" Division: "Gerald McBoing Boing," a show I dig, made a welcome return to CBS-TV on Friday eveninf. "Noah's Ark," back again on NBC-TV Sunday night for a second try is still a cornball show, but compared to most of the drivel scheduled for TV this summer, it's almost palat able. CBS-TV brought "The Search" back Sunday and its study of stuttering was, I thought, a fairly interesting go-around. The Channel Swim: Victor Borge signed a three-year deal with an auto sponsor for one TV show a year at a reported $225,000 per show CBS-TV looks like the network. Tom Kennedy got the emcee job on NBC-TV's "The Big Game' which replaces "Truth or Con sequences" on June 13. Newly Completed chool Destroyed Burns, Ore.

WATER REGULATIONS BEDFORD WATER COMMISSION WE ASK YOUR SUPPORT - - Now that the summer months are here, we are asking you to be conscious of the water yoff use, particularly on hot days and during dry periods, and to aroid unnecessary wastage of one of our com munity's most valuable assets. For better utilization of the public water supply and assurance of ample quantities of water at proper pressures for domestic, commer cial and fire fighting need the regulations governing the use of water are as follows: WHEN THE FIRE SIREN SOUNDS, a neighbor is in distress and you can help him. Turn off your lawn sprinklers and other non essential water uses during the emergency. OPEN, HOSES ARE NOT ALLOWED. An open hose robs pressure from your other sprinklers and from your neighbors' houses. WASTE OF WATER IS PROHIBITED. You can stop waste and save money by being careful not to allow water to run to waste down side walks, streets or gutters as a result of sprinkling lawns, gardens er parking strips and by repairing all plumbing leaks and closing fau cets, when they are not actually being used. Wasted water msts just as much to deliver as water that is put to use. SPRINKLING STREETS. The use of water through a hose for sprin kling streets is forbidden under all circumstances. In addition to the above regulations, the following hints may ba helpful in your use of water: WHEN SPRINKLING YOUR LAWN, get the most for your money use water wisely. Experts say that it is better to soak an estab lished lawn to a depth of several inches once or twice a week than to give your grass a light sprinkling daily. They also suggest watering only in the cooiQhours of the day.' As the heaviest demand on the water system comes in the late afternoon and evening, it is cuggested that you sprinkle in the early morning. WATER FOR AIR COOLERS of the evaporative type, should be carefully controlled. Maximum efficiency from an evaporative type air cooler is obtained when the entire area of the pads is kept damp. Any water allowed to run off from the cooler is wasted. USE WATER WISELY. Mail Tribune whila I am an vacation, beginning Vacation-Pac and deliver an or mem to .
