Br MALCOLM EPLEY
PEOPLE used to say hereabouts that they
were going out to shoot ducks. 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.

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

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.

Romance is so obscured In
these days ot strif that the
love affair reported to b de
veloping rapidly between Eng
land charming Princess Elisa
beth and handsome young
Prince Philip of Greece is Ilk
a burst cf sunshine through
storm-clouds.
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.
PrisM Consort
A princ consort's chief dis
tinction it that he is husband
of th queen. Sh Is th sover
eign and h has no privileges
of monarchy. The last prince
consort of England was Princ
BIBALB a NSWS, Bleejalk rails, Ota, TI'SanAT, P. u. isss, r.
Albert, husband of th famous
Queen Victoria. Just before
their marrlag th British gov
ernment gav him iwroedentr)
next to the quern, but h hail
no distinctive title and such
privileges as he received weir
purely by courtesy.
However, while the prince
consort has no privileges of
monarchy, he does havo a full
time, tough position to fill In
service of the state. 11 and the
queen must forever be attend
ing public functions confer
ring decorations, making
speeches and what not. I lived
In London many years and
1. ....... twr. rutre.tnal nhservatitm
that there ar few people who
work so hard or sucn um
hours as th king and queen
and th heir to the throne. The
earn UJ n II 1 d be true of the
quern and her consort.
However, so far a trine
Philip is concerned, h will Just
i.. iMi.ahxih't laacllnii fhn in
th royal pageant If they are
married.
