I can think of 500,000 reasons
why I should stay right here
the rest of the summer. Each
is tender, juicy, bright as a
rainbow and hungry as a three-year-old,
mainly on account
these are three-year-olds rain
bows. The trash fish were all poi
soned out of this blue mountain
lake last year and 300,000 rain
bow trout planted early in the
season. Another 200,000 have
just been planted. They are
small yet, but fishermen tell
me they are taking the limit on
a single troll of the deep water
lake or in a half day's casting
with dry flies.
Where they find room to
troll I don't know. The lake was
whipped to cream by a crop of
frolicsome water skiers the
Sunday afternoon we made its
acquaintance on an Oregonian
Oregon State Motor Assn.
Knowland Gains
Ike's Support
Washington -UPD- President
Eisenhower has offered Sen
ate Republican leader William
F. Knowland his wishes for
success in Knowland's cam
paign for governor of Cali
fornia. The President said in an ex
change of letters published by
the White House Monday that
the country owed Knowland a
debt of gratitude for his "con
tribution of good government
and for helping maintain
peace in the world."
Eisenhower added that he
was certain that the people of
California know Knowland's
"admirable qualifications, fine
character, and dedication to
duty and want to utilize his
services as governor of that
great state."
Although Knowland has dif
fered with Eisenhower on
some administration policies,
the President said the senator
was returning to California
"to wage a political campaign
on behalf of a philosophy of
government in which we both
believe."
The President also ex
pressed gratitude for Know
land's "tireless efforts" as
Senate Republican leader. He
said Knowland had demon
strated "the characteristics of
leadership, of integrity and de
votion in the service of the
nation."

After Stay
(Editor's note: This is another
in a series of letters written by
Jeff Williams, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Williams of Med
ford. Jeff Williams is on a trip
around the world, which started
as hitch-hiking trip. Since he's
been in the Middle East, hitch
hiking became almost impossible,
and Williams had had to travel
by other means, mostly by
train, some by plane.)
By JEFF WILLIAMS
Saigon: August 5th. I took
the plane from Calcutta here,
with a day's stop each in Ran
goon and Bangkok. It was a
good chance to see those cit
ies as it is impossible to get
a visa to stay there without
waiting three months.
There are some of the most
beautiful temples in the world
here, Bhuddist temples, and I
spent each of those days
gawking and exploring. The
plane arrived in Saigon about
noon, and they drove me by
limousine to the ritziest hotel
in town. Very fancy but I
knew it was not for me, or at
least not for my thinning wal
let. So I checked my pack
there and took off on foot to
tour the town.
I inquired at a number of
boats at the dock about pas
sage to Manila but no luck.
I stopped also at the Harbor
Police and got a list of ships,
sailing dates and destinations.
But as it was Saturday, all
the agent's offices were
closed. Then I walked around
some more and spotted a
couple of guys who looked
like they were from my part
of the world and knew Sai
gon. I started talking to them,
and they were quite friendly.
They are here with the Ca
nadian Army as part of the
U.N. peace team. We all went
off together for a swim and
then they took me to the

mile lake is Ochoco Lake State
Park, nestled in a thick grove
of junipers on a promontory
that thrusts out conveniently in
to the lake. Here 22 camp sites
and picnic sites for hundreds
lure waterlovers on weekends.
There are a couple of gravel
beaches and a couple of floats
for boaters. Across from the
state park is the Crystal Cor
ral Trailer court.
Ochoco, by the way, is one
of the few places where the
fish bite and the mosquitoes
don't. The water is blue since
the trash fish were eliminated,
but warm.
This whole country is rock
hound heaven, too, scene of
many a Rockhound Pow Wow,
in Saigon
"Bird-Watcher's Club." This
is a sidewalk cafe where you
can sit and take in the local
passing scenery. These guys
are really funny, enlisted
men, and they kid everybody,
waiters, girls, and the hun
dreds of pestering vendors.
We had a good time, and then
they took me out to their
camp and insisted I stay
there. It was sure nice to
have a good bed with :lean
sheets and good food. Even
the beer and soft drinks are
all free, and in the center of
each table is a large platter
of bananas and mangoes.
I should be swinging from
a tree with all the bananas I
put away each day. When I
first got here, I was eating
two full meals at every sit
ting but now I have slowed
down a little. With all these
other countries fighting and
bickering all the time, it is a
good feeling to think about
Canada and the United States
living side by side for so
many years in harmony.
Great Encouragement
These chaps gave me great
encouragement about getting
a lift on U.S. flights to the
states so I went to see the
Major in .charge of M.A.T.S.
No luck. All he could suggest
was that I enlist here, and
then I might get stateside
duty and they would fly me
back there. No dice, too many
mights in that deal. I'd rather
finish college first.
I . went to three different
agents and got possible jobs
lined up. One of them goes
through the Panama Canal,
and if I could get paid for
that, I would take it and still
have time to fly home from
New York. The other two
land in San Francisco, but I
won't know for two days:
Meanwhile, I went over to
look at the American post.
They really have it nice here,
with- a beautiful club and a
big movie house. They have
free movies every night so my
Canadian pals and I stayed
for the show. Then we had a
cheeseburger for a quarter
and all the coffee you could
drink for a nickle. Everything
they had 'to eat there is
flown in from the states ex
cept the bread, and sold at
cost.
Yesterday we took a ride
out to the beach on the bus.
Ninety cents round trip and
excellent swimming in the
China Sea. They have a nice
resort out there with air-conditioned
rooms with shower
for about $1.50 a night. By
the way, I am dressed quite
decently again. I broke down
and bought a pair of white
tennis shoes, a sport shirt and
a man gave me a pair of new,
very baggy English style sun
tans. How my Ivy League

Says Goodbye
Aug. 9th: Said goodbye and
many thanks to my Canadian
friends this morning and
started checking steamship
agents again. At one place I
was introduced to a most
friendly and interesting man
named Mr. Stickles who is
head of the Catholic Relief
Organization. He knows all
the steamship agents quite
well and offered to see what
he could do for me.
In the meantime, he sug
gested I share his apartment
with him, which was very
nice of him and quite a break
for me. It has two bedrooms,
and is filled with beautiful
things he has picked up from
time to time in the Orient. His
servants prepare our food,
and though most of it is quite
different, it is good. He told
me tonight there is a possi
bility of a job on a Norwegian
freighter that leaves here
Tuesday. One of their seamen
got off at Bangkok and if he
doesn't return by the time
they are ready to sail, I can
take his place. If he does
make it back, I am shot out of
saddle. Two days . to worry
about it in, and though I wish
the poor guy no harm, I hope
very hard that he misses his
connections. I had hoped to
see Manila, but time is run
ning out, and 1 want to get
back in time to start the fall
term at Oregon!
Aug. 13: Hurray! The sea
man went mad at Bangkok
and they had to keep him
there so I get to take his place
and will sail at noon today.
(Hope this isn't an indication
of what I am getting into.)
Haven't had a chance to talk
to the Captain about what my
duties will be, and have no
idea but they tell me the food
is good. Also, they stop a full
week in Manila, several days
in Hong Kong and a week in
Tokyo. The ship is the Tungus
and will arrive in San Frano
cisco on Sept. 27. That Golden
Gate will look real golden to
me.

Weatherman How Armed With
Superior Forecast Instruments
Editor's note: Modern science re
fuses to accept that "you can't do
anything about the weather." This
is the first of two dispatches tell
ing what science is doing about it
now and expects to do in the fu
ture. By LOUIS CASSELS '
UPI Correspondent
Washington -UPD- Science is
rapidly replacing guesswork
in the tricky business of
weather forecasting.
A long-overdue technologi
cal revolution is arming the
weatherman with new instru
ments that are far superior to
the crude tools at his disposal
for him to bring you faster,
more detailed and more re
liable forecasts, especially of
serious storms.
Ahead lies fully automatic
weather forecasting, in which
data gathered by hundreds of
unmanned robot stations will
be fed into a giant electronic
brain capable of turning out
a fresh weather map every
hour.
And not too far in the fu
ture is the tantalizing pros
pest of exerting some human
control over the weather.
The radical changes taking
place in the ancient art of
foretelling the weather are
demonstrated by an instru
ment called the hygrometer,
which is used to measure con
tent of the air.
Built Around Hair
For more than 100 years,
the standard hygrometer was
built around a strand of
blonde hair from a woman's
head. As every woman knows,
hair stretches in damp air. By
calibrating the stretch of a
given strand of hair, weather
men were able to make an ap
proximate measurement of
humidity. But the hair hy
grometer was not a very rug
ged or reliable instrument.
Today's hygrometer devel
oped in the past four years,
measures the moisture in the
air by determining how much
absorption a ray of infra red
light sustains in passing from
a projector to a photoelectric
cell. It is extremely accurate
under all conditions, includ
ing low temperatures in
which hair hygrometers are
virtually worthless.
Another example is the
new Doppler radar equip
ment which can "see" a tor
nado funnel 70 miles away.
The first set was placed in
service this year at Wichita
Falls, Tex. When a twister
bore down on that city April
2, the Doppler radar gave
enough advance warning for
most residents to find safe
shelter. Although 200 build
ings were demolished, only
one person was killed.
With a different kind of
radar set, weather stations
can detect rain or snow fall
ing at any point within an
area of 200,000 square miles.
They can take time-exposure
photographs of the precipita
tion blips on the radar screen,
measure their intensity with
a device called a densio
meter" and calculate how
much rain fell on a given
area.
The "instrument" which
this technique will replace,
when the new equipment is
generally available, is a tin
bucket with. inch-marks on its
side.
The trouble with all of
these new gadgets is that
they cost a lot of money, and
the Weather Bureau hasn't
been able to buy very many
of them so far. But the ad
vent of jet-propelled air trav
el may change that situation.
