This year, we noted a rather wide use ot a different terminology. People began aw talking about going out to T ' "hunt ducks." There's a differ ence, and it points to a need for consideration of what was wrong with the season that closed with a final despairing volley at a few high birds yes terday. Before the season opened on October 26, there appeared to be plenty of ducks in the Klamath country. In fact. there were so many that they I became an economic threat EPLEY Farmers reported millions of them damaging their grain fields. The unique measures taken at that time to drive the birds out of the fields may have driven them out of the country for the season. At any rate, they were here in no such numbers whafi the season opened, and the shooting has beengoneraUy lousy, to use the favorite term ot the tbotgun bearer. The situation, it seems to us, points to the need for an earlier season in the Klamath Tulelake area. If the season had been open when the great flocks of birds were decimating the grain fields hereabouts, there would have been a lot of good shooting and that successful hunting would have helped the farmers save their crops. As It happens, money from duck stamp sales and other sources is used to propogate ducks to raise the devil with farm fields without providing better hunting for the guys paying the bill. There has been some talk. In this space and elsewhere, about the advisability of a limited season ahead of the regular season to help run the birds out of the fields. That scheme is based on the thought that unlimited hunting might do considerable damage to uncut grain. But possibly, in an earlier open season, farmers with uncut grain could control the hunting there sufficiently to prevent serious damage by hunt ers who are helping to prevent bird damage to the grain. At any rate, a limited or unlimited earlier season appears definitely in order. Now's the time to do something about it. . Christmas Suggestion OF all the colorful, glittering things one buys for .Christmas, nothing is more handsome . In purpose than a bit of paper that costs a single penny the Christmas seal. Klamath people have bought Christmas seals generously for years, knowing that they serve great cause the control of tuberculosis and that the money derived from that sale has been effectively used over many years. The Christmas seal idea had its genesis in Denmark. In 1803, a Copenhagen postal clerk suggested that a penny stamp be attached to each Christmas package to build a fund for hospitals for children. More than 4,000,000 seals were sold at the Copenhagen post office in the first year of seal sales, 1904. In July, 1907, Jacob Riis published an article, in the Outlook suggesting adoption of the Christ? mas stamp idea in America, to finance the battle against tuberculosis then more ravaging and ore widely feared tnan now wan its to the 'istmas seal. Emily Bissell, a young public 1th worker in Wilmington, Deleware, sought put the idea into practical effect. After iny discouragements, she found a friend in i. A. VanValkenburg, editor of the Philadelphia . North American. The North American's public ity gave the first seal sale enough impetus to produce $3000 and the next year, the seal sale became nationwide. It brought $135,000. In 1944, seal sales aggregated $15,000,000. S What has happened to the dreaded "white plague" in that period. In 1907, deaths from tuberculosis in this country averaged 174 per 100,000 population. In 1943, they had dropped to 43 per 100,000 population. In our own county, much effective work has been done in the control and prevention of tuberculosis, financed by seal sales. In these "easy money" times,- seal sales should be bigger than ever.; This is a good yeaj to buy an extra sheet. a The Soviet Embassy says Joe Stalin is in perfect health. Now don't tell us that Russian Winter, that used to give the invading Germans the devil every year, hasn't even given Joe a common cold. By PAUL MALLOW WASHINGTON, Dec. S The peace has sud denly turned into a phantom of delight. No one here knows what it means at least no one with any worthwhile official authority, al though some suspect a lot. In fact, nearly everyone suspects it will turn out like the ap parition of Wordsworth to be only "a moment's ornament" Words could hardly fly higher (the altitude ceiling of phraseology being what it Is) than Russia's abandonment of the veto in disarma ment Inspection. Far above lofty was Molotov's stratospheric reversal of position to embrace peace and actual inspection of armament pro duction uranium for one thing everywhere in the world, including, strange as It seems, Russia. A foreign diplomat cannot now even travel around Russia today to see the streets, much less anything secret. He cannot ascertain the volume of say on and off propaganda pro duction in the USSR, much less the amount of uranium production, gold, airplanes, atom bombs or matchsticks. No one is free to ascer tain anything about Russia. For her to open suddenly her unprecedented Isolation to world inspection on any subject offers the best verbal prospect for peace yet proposed. What May Happen THE common interpretation here is that as soon as any UNO commission starts trying to go to Russia to find out how much uranium there is, the Soviet government will again cloak herself in impenetrable bear hide, hide it in buckets in the cellar, say the venture is too costly, furnish us some statistics her government considers substantial and advise us to believe these or not or recommend that UNO investi gate Spain first where she actually claimed atom bombs were hidden not so long ago or the United States which is rumored to have both 59 and none at all. (AP says none; better private sources say 59.) But do not be too sure of Russia walking out on this agreement, at least not until she puts our bombs under International manage ment A few well advised people say Russia has no bombs and what is worse few planes sufficiently efficient to carry any if she ever got one. Her scientific experiments in atomic energy have been typically Russian, that is to say, unsuccessful. Her purge and reorganization of her scientists may not have been effective. If she has no modern armaments of air warfare (she never even had a bombing plane of long range value in the last war) why would she not want disarmament of those who have arma ments at least for a few years until she can get something? And why would she not aban don the veto and keep others from using one, especially others, who have armaments, bombs and uranium to pro'act and no comparable facilities for hiding same? How this all will turn out, nobody knows, a a Meyer Quits Bank WITH considerably less delight Eugene Meyer has quit the world bank, saying although absolutely no one believes him he intended to resign as soon as he got it started. His explanation was too thin to fool a blind man because he had turned his newspaper conclusively over to a board for operation and has been away only five months or so. Further more no one said anything at the time of his appointment to indicate his world bank direction would be temporary. Some knowing authorities say he found out the bank was not a bank, which most people knew In the first place. It is a loan agency without assets or money.- The nations were to contribute great sums to be loaned (or rather given away on the best terms possible) around the world but no one has put up any money. A half dozen demands for gifts called loans has been presented by some states, mostly of communist leanings. It is just possible Meyer discovered the difficulty of giving away money from an empty drawer, or may possibly have questioned the wisdom of capitalism' contribut ing great sums to communist states ( I doubt this last possibility.) Nevertheless there are to be even greater - delights. Russia is now to soar on the wings of her stratospheric words to get $1,000,000,000 in loans from us. The five peace treaties are to be signed and presented to the senate. Not much objection to ratification will be made, except perhaps about the luscious reparations to be collected by Russia. Mr. Byrnes will , bring up Germany and Austria as the next step and maybe try for peace about them, while the delight lasts and possibly before Russia gets our money. All statesmen will practically bust in swelling with good feeling at the lovely apparition of peace they have turned out the lofty words ' they cannot define, upon which they have built their peace. SIDE GLANCES New Head To Be Elected A new president will be elect ed by the League of Oregon Cities at a special meeting in Portland Thursday. George Sta dleman, former mayor of The Dalles, was elected president of tf.ie league for this year, but was defeated in the last election.

Admittedly ther ar Inter national quectlons of far great er importance than whether Elisabeth and Philip love each other. Still, It's worthy ot not that romance Is one of the fine things of Ufa which our very mlschvlous world hasn't been able to stifle, One could extend that thought to motherly love and peac on earth but we didn't start out to prent a homily, so let's get back to our muttons, which Is the Briton's way of calling for a return to th subject of discussion. No Aanunemat There has been no announce ment of an engagement. On th contrary Buckingham pal ace stands pat on Its announce ment of last September that "Princes Elizabeth Is not en gaged." However, the palace hasn't said sh wouldn't become engaged or wasn't In love, and moreover ther has been a "mysteriously" Inspired flood of favorable publicity for the princ running In th British firess the past few days. Also, t is said that Philip has ap plied for British naturalization, which would b a raqulsit to marrlag with th heiress, to th world's greatest throne. Th way European royal families Intermarry It isn't sur prising to learn that Prince Philip is third cousin to Prin cess Elizabeth. H is a nephew of the distinguished Lord Mountbatten and has been In th British navy since he was 19 (he is now 25). He and the 20-yr-old princess have been seeing much of each other and have appeared In public to gether, and England la prepared to hear in 'due course that he Is to marry hi princess and thus In time become . princ consort.
