HOW YOU CAN HELP
Whether or not the crime
and follv of cruetly to labora
tory animals Is to be ended
rienends entirely upon what
members of Congress hear
from the public. In Oregon,
you can help by writing to
Sen. Wayne Morse, Sen. Mau
rlne Neuberger and Rep. Rob
ert Duncan, to President John
r. Kennedy and to Rep. Ken
neth Roberts who is chairman
of the House committee to
which this legislation has been
referred. Ask all of them to
support Randall Bill H. R.
4836.
This bill has been approved
by the majority of humani
tarians as being the most ef
fective, and would rapidly

For details on the treat
ment of laboratory animals
read, "Is Science Cruel to An
imals' in the current Issue of
the Saturday Evening Post.
Truth is often painful, yet we
must not shrink from it; for
only by the honest appraisal
of facts can we equip our
selves to fight cruelty whore
ever It Is found and in what
ever caoacity. Only an en
lightened public can be ex
nectcd to oppose the almost
unbelievable atrocities that
continue unabated in this
modern day.
Why Be Lonely?
There are many lonely peo
ple In the world. This does
not necessarily apply to
Isolated members of society
In the midst of plenty (of
humans) loneliness may still
exist. But generally the hard
est to bear is the Isolation
endured by those who through
death or maladjustment have
been thrown on their own re
sources to use time as best
they can.
It Is amazing the number
of people who spend their
lives without companionship
of any kind. Often this is un
avoidable. Accommodation re
strictions frequently prevent
the keeping of pet. This is
tragic, for many a kind heart
; beat and possession- of some
aort of animal would be bene
ficial to owner and pet.
There are, of course, people
who, while not unkind to an
imals, have never been deep
ly Interested. Perhaps the ac
quisition of a dog or cat would
open up a new vista. An ani
mal which is cared for as an
Intelligent being ran give so
much in the way of friendship
and sympathy. It questions
not, does not backbite, and. Its
faithfulness and devotion can
too shows the yellow moun
tain is "different." Its shape
is that of a pile of hay built
to shed rain, its coloring is
that of grass ripening in the
sun, a striking contrast to
lava.
The yellow metamoiphic
rock of Haystack Mountain
contained gold in sufficient
quantities to make mining
profitable until spirallng labor
and material cosui became too
much for a governmental
pegged gold price to show
profit. No one ever finds gold
in lava, and lava covers all
lands that lies for miles across
the land surrounding Hay
Btack Mountain.
Today this unusual moun
tain beside Highway 97 with

Cottage Grove Man
Waits Sentencing
Lewlston, Idaho - IUPD -
Jude C. Kaus, 29, Cottage
Grove, Ore., awaited sentenc
ing Friday after pleading guil
ty to charges of attempted
armed robbery and assault
with a deadly weapon.
Kaus entered the guilty
pleas Thursday before 10th
district Judge John Cramer.
He was foiled in a holdup at
tempt at a nightclub near
Lewlston last Sunday morn
ing when a musician, Max
Durham, tried to take Kaus'
22 caliber pistol from him.
Durham was shot In the
chest in an ensuing tussle but
is recovering from the wound.
where thousands of tourists
pass every day seeking inter
esting sights is scarcely no
ticed. One enterprising owner
once tried to make Haystack
Mountain a rendezvous for
bighorn sheep when some
Mouflon sheep from Corsica
were given him. He thought
they might adapt themselves
to Haystack Mountain and
nearby Shceprock. That ef
fort failed. Today a remnant
of the original band may he
found near Dwinnell Lake on
another mountain.
A ' band of bighorn sheep
there might slow down eager
sightseers, but a mountain
that contains plenty of gold
In a region where untold mil
lions of dollars of gold Jiave
been burned out of the coun
try surrounding it is never
given a thought.
. Neither are these the only
oddities in the region through
which Highway 97 runs. Whit
ney Creek across which this
road runs is dry throughout
most of the year, and always
when other streams are flood
ed. But when most streams
are dry, when the heat of a
stifling summer lies over the
land, Whitney Creek becomes
a roaring flood.
Another attraction seldom
seen is Wind Cave a short dis
tance from Haystack Moun
tain. A current of chill air
comes from the entrance to
this cavern. Another cave not
many miles distant has a room
temperature where fresh meat
is kept throughout the summer.
