CONSUMER Gilbert Knips (left) Rogue valley dairy farmer, is receiving a half gallon of Carnation fresh milk from Jerry Beachell (right), representative of the Carnation company. Knips is currently producing over 100 gallons of milk per day. He and many other local dairymen market Carnation operates through coordinated milk sales, a pooling agent of Southern Oregon milk producers. The association has contracted to sell milk to Carnation company, now marketing fresh milk and ice cream products in this area. The company's policy is to purchase the same amount sold in every area in wnicn Recent Ruling on Hatchery Is Latest Episode i n Controversy The recent ruling of the Federal Power Commission, ordering Pacific Power and Light company to construct a fish hatchery at its Iron Gate dam on the Klamath river, was the latest episode in controversy between the pow er company and the Califor nia Fish and Game depart ment, dating back to 1918, the EPC reviewed in announc ing the decision. PP&L's predecessor, Cali fornia Oregon Power compa' ny, built two hydroelectric power projects on the Klam ath river just south of the Oregon state line. Copco No. 1 was built in 1918 and Copco No. 2 was completed in 1925. Since the dams were too high to permit fish migration, California Oregon Power built a hatchery at Fall Creek, a few miles downstream, con- veying the facility to the state in 1918. Fith Trapping Facillli. In 1925, the power company constructed fish trapping fa cilities and an egg collecting staion, also conveying them to the state. The department operated the Fall Creek hat chery until 1948, when It was discontinued as uneconomial. Both Copco projects oper ate at peak load facilities, with alternate storage and re lease of large volumes of wa ter, the FPC noted. Opera tion of the dams caused severe changes In downstream river levels, with detrimental ef fects on fish downstream, the FPC said. In 1950, the California agency filed a suit against the power company to enjoin the abnormal water fluctuations as a continuing public nuis ance. Enter Into Agreement Following long negotia tions, the power company and the department entered Into an aggrcment on July 27, 1950, providing that the pow er company would build and operate the Iron Gate project principally as a regulating dam. The power company agreed to build fish trapping and egg collecting facilities according to plans approved by the state. The question of the need for a fish hatchery at the dam was reserved for future determination. The Iron Gate Day was completed in Jan uary, 1962. On Aug. 21, 1961, the Call fornla fish and game depart ment filed its petition re questing the FPC to order the power company to construct, operate and maintain the hat chery. PP&L's answer deny ing the need for a hatchery was filed Sept. 13, 1961. At the conclusion of the hearing and at the request of the examiner, the parties met and agreed to the speci fications of the hatchery fa cilities which would be built If ordered by the FPC. Claim Hatchary Not Needed The department had re quested that the commission require PP&L to pay the en. tire cost of operating and maintaining the hatchery. PP&L claimed that no hat chery was needed, and that if one were required, It should not have to pay to construct, operate and maintain it. The commission staff had proposed that the operating and maintenance costs be shared equally by the two parties. The Federal Power commis sion said that since PP&L "created the situation which necessitates the fish hatchery, it is no more than reasonable to require that it pay the cost of construction." Pay Some of Coils Continuing, the FPC de clared that for the same rea son, Pacific "must also be re quired to pay a substantial portion of the operating and maintenance costs. Otherwise, it was pointed out, "California taxpayeri would have to assume the burden for expenses arising from a situation where PP&L could have taken an alterna tive course of action." The commission was not con vinced, however, that PP&L should pay the entire oper ating and maintenance costs of the hatchery, since the benefits received by Califor nia from the construction of Iron Gate surpassed the pri mary objective of returning conditions in the river for maintenance of anadromous fish to those which existed be fore the dams were construct ed.

Faith Y.-Kltty has a Ph.D. degree in English Literature, while AI is only a factory hand. It's true he's unusually good-looking, but that's not enough on which to base a marriage. Yet thats what Kitty talks of doing. She in troduced Al to my husband and me, and we found it hard to talk to him. We tried base ball; he doesn't understand the game. We watched wrestling on TV; it didn't interest him. With Kitty's education and brains, what do they have In common? Kathryn C. - Timing and world history were against Al. He's a studious type and would now hold advanced de grees, too, except that at 14 he had to flee the Nazis. He's 35 now, and scll-educatcd. Faith wonders what we have in common. We love poetry, and Al reads it in several lan guages. I don't know baseball scores either. But Al is well read, bright, and a stimulating companion. It's easy for me to love him. a The Council: Having warn ed Kathryn against the star dust which Al's charm and handsomeness may have flung in her eyes, Faith must from now on bite her tongue. It's a cliche, but a wise one, to urge similars to marry. Yet all around us we find compatible "dissimilars" who defy the statistics. Why? Because they are united on the important factors: goals, values, enthusi asms. Given a normal world, Al's course might have paral leled Kilty's. The difference between them is a forced one, whereas the resemblance is a natural one. The only prob lem we can envisage would arise if one should ever, in pique, attempt to "diminish" the other. Kitty must try ex tra hard to keep Al from feeling inferior. He isn't. And both he and she - even with the Ph.D. - must never slop growing.

It wouldn't have any place to go if it did. It is merely trying to exer cise its muscles. It is a crea ture that, in the wild state, is far-ranging and naturally restless. Instinctively it feels that it must be in motion . . . must keep its muscles in per fect condition toward that time when, once again, it will roam free and far. The restless ones, the con stant pacers in the cage, are those which must seek safety, food or a mate by traveling far and constantly. They are duplicating, in the cage, their actions and locomotion in their natural environment. Next time you feel sorry for the caged creature as it paces from one side of its cage to the other, stop and think about the habits of that par ticular animal. You will no tice, if you are at all familiar with the species, that the wolf, fox, coyote, hyena and some of the other carnivores are the restless ones. They are the creatures that travel con siderable distances in the wild stale. Crave Exarcii In captivity, they still react to the impulse of movement. They want to get their regular exercise, keeping their bodies always in trim, for that time when once again they will wander far and wide. An exception to the wide- ranging carnivore is the so- called king of Deasts ' , . . the lion. This animal seldom paces; he is content to remain quiet . . . almost lazy and in dolent. The only time the lion exerts himself is when he is hungry. Even if he decides to move. he will do so with consider able dignity slowly and with a majestic haughtiness. The lion probably suffers least from being in close confine ment. Members of the monkey clan probably suffer most under confinement, yet sel dom does the visitor to the zoo ever waste a thought or sympathy for these ' little creatures. They act so cheerful and are usually so active and, to all outward appearances, hap py and perfectly contented. May B Wretched Yet their plight is often wreteched. Being naturally alert and highly intelligent the monkey-folk know they are prisoners, and resent it. The little guy who may be a picture of despondency over in one corner of the cage may be so bored with his enforced confinement that he actually deteriorates in both mind and body. He may even worry until his mind becomes de ranged and he becomes a hopeless idiot. A monkey can actually be so bored, and suf fer so terribly as to die of boredom. Viewed through the bars of the cage, the primates - those animals nearest to man in build and mental development may try to be naoDv and cheerful, or may even "put on an act" for the amusement of the audience. All the while, the "actor" may actually be a hopelessly frustrated monkey. Being mentally alert and intelligent is a decided dis advantage to the imprisoned creature of God.

Neivspaper Advertising Scores More Sales than Other Media The nation's local advertisers invested $2.7 billion in newspapers last year. That's six times as much as they spent in radio, nine times as much as in TV, three times as much in newspapers as in all other major media combined! Herman C. Nolen, president of McKesson & Robbins, Inc., puts it this way: "We at McKesson feel that if you place an advertisement in a news paper the result is-something happens. You get action." If you want action, if you want results - use the daily newspaper.
