IUK TJS fclllor ataicaus irui ManAeTinf stejltor Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY THE student of Klamath Union high school provided the best Christmas story of the week. Their gift of S30Q to the burned-out Henry y. Munday family was in tne best tradition of the season spontaneous, hearty, respon sive to a genuine need. It was not charity it sprung from the appreciation of an act of heroism that inspired and thrilled the givers. It was substantial enough to be a real help to the little family that lost just about everything in the fire. The students didn t fool around for several weeks mak ing up their collective mind. EPLEY It was suggested it might be a fine thing to do at Christmas time if the students wished; they deliberated, voted unanimously, and left: it to t h e i r finance committee to determine the amount. It was a good example for a good many adults who spend so much time on intricate "mechanics of procedure'' and "cautious approach" to worthy problems that too many of them are never achieved. When the story of the high school student action was put on the Associated Press wire yesterday it immediately caught the imagination and enthusiasm of nearby metropolitan bureaus. They wanted to know more about it and they wanted a picture. Let's give the kids a pat on the back for providing us with an incident of real human appeal admirably in keeping with the spirit of the season. Danger On Shasta Way THIS column has been asked to call public attention to the hazardous traffic condi tions on Shasta Way which, if our informants are right, bids fair to take over the sinister moniker of "death alley" from now-improved South Sixth street. Shasta Way carries an extremely heavy vol ume of traffic. Like the old South Sixth, it lacks sidewalks, and there is common use of the pavement by motor travel and pedestrians. An acquaintance of ours, who drives Shasta Way regularly, says the hazards are especially great when school children are walking along the roadsides. He asked us to urge all people who use the thoroughfare, on foot or in auto mobiles, to exercise extreme caution, lest there be a series of tragedies there. Meanwhile, property holders along Shasta Way might begin giving thought to the ad visability of a cooperative program to finance the construction of sidewalks on the heavily settled portions of that street. Basketball KLAMATH'S 20-30 club is to be commended for the enterprise that brought about the current basketball jamboree here, with four fine 'northwest high school teams engaging in a three-night series of games. The motivating in fluence in the project was the club's desire to raise funds for the iron lung it has given to the people of Klamath county. This program offers sports followers of this community an opportunity to see some of the best prep school basketball talent in the north west in action. The four schools Longview, Baker. Oregon City and Klamath Falls, are consistent producers of good basketball teams, and the current editions are no exception to the rule. Incidentally, we again call basketball to the attention of all local folks who are even just a little athletics-minded. Wayne Scott is back from the service, and again at the helm of basketball at the high school, and that reminds us of what happened when Wayne's team won the state championship a few years ago. The team played before meagre crowds here all through the season. When, for the first time in history, it brought an undisputed state athletics championship to Klamath Falls, a lot of people suddenly woke up and wanted to know why they hadn t seen the champions in action. Their tardy enthusiasm and interest must have received a somewhat sour reception from -the youngsters. SIDE GLANCES l! C' II S con iq v vf wet' mm tc u t ,t ft IX'Jtf "You'd better speak to Johnny he can imitate hit titter' voice perfectly, and he's got one of her boy friendt on the line now!" STATIC By KELLY ROBERTS Boyle's Column More Notes From The Zoo, This Time About Gorillas By HAL BOYLE '. CINCINNATI, Ohio. Dec. 21 XJP Susie is the biggest glamor gal in the midwest , ' But shes' strictly an old-fash-Joued home girl. She doesn't use rouge or powder, and she said '"nix" to a Hollywood producer who wanted to co-star her in the movies with Ellen Drew. . She keeps in shape and gen tlemen, what a shape! on a strictly vegetarian diet. She nev er has smoked, but she will take nip of bourbon in private Just to clear up a cold. ' She has midnight-colored hair, stormy brown eyes and she grew up to the perfect feminine height five-feet-two. But she doesn't go in for cuddling not Susie. i It will be quite an event when Susie has her 21st birthday next August. But there are sound reasons for believing that she won't have a "coming out" party and never will become a pinup girl anywhere but In the Congo. . In the first place Susie tips the beam at 450 pounds. And, of course, after all she is a gorilla. : Susie isn't just "another gor illa. In many ways she is unique in the animal realm: She was the world's first trained gorilla, she is the largest known female of her kind, and she is the oldest gorilla in captivity. '" "She's a wonderful animal the greatest in the world today, bar none," said her trainer. Bill Dressman, 63, who rates hr as the best of hundreds of animals he has handled in the last 43 years. i Most gorillas fall easy prey to pneumonia, tuberculosis or stomach trouble the "civilized" diseases. One reason for Susie's perfect health she has outlived two death diagnoses is the fact she's a big hypochondriac. 'Whenever she feels bad, she shows us where she hurts," said Dressman, "and she will take any medicine we give her." . She is one of the biggest eat ers since "Diamond Jim" Brady, and puts away more than 29 pounds of oranges, apples, ban anas and vegetables daily. Susie is shy, moody and tem peramental and only Dressman can make her obey. He has been in charge of her since she flew to America as a passenger aboard the first German diri gible to span the ocean. She had been captured shortly be fore in the Belgian Congo. After touring with the Ring ling Bros, circus for two years, sei came to the Cincinnati zoo and has been the reigning star for 16 years. For Old Bill's sake she will wear an apron, and dine like a lady, using her fork, spoon, cup and napkin properly. But she isn't fond of zoo audiences and hates camera flash bulbs worse that John L. Lewis. "She understands practically every word I tell her," said Dressman, first man ever to train a gorilla, "But after more than 16 years together I still don't know for sure what her outlook on life is. All I know is that she didn't ask to be put be hind bars, and she deserves all we can do for her." Susie has bitten Dressman severely several times on the shoulder, wrist and hands the hands that feed her. Dressman turned down a movie offer for Susie after he learned the studio was expecting "a docile gorilla." "That's Hollywood for you," he said disgustedly. "Whoever heard of a docile gorilla? They'll all hurt you." Susie leads a lonely life, with no other gorilla closer than Chicago. Perhaps that's why she sulks. "She's never had a boy friend." Dressman grinned, tug ging her hairy cheek. TTiere s been some talk, but nothing ever came of it" ATTENTION! Master War Beautr Shop now openl Hazel Wakeman, operator (formerly East Side Beautr Shop), 4243 Shasta way, next to Art's Barber Shop.

You Ask For It Now What De I Get? Now, Christmas time is just for kids, at least, it says so here. But since you've asked me what I want, I'll just tell you, my dear. Now, I could use a davenport witi matching extra chair. A radio of small design, I could place here or there. A desk set would be most divine to grace my brand new desk And, in my bedroom I could use a large size cedar chest. An automatic G. E. range (not sent me C. O. D.) (It's only a suggestion, dear, but . that would sure please me.) A silver tea-set would be nice a baby grand would do. (Remember now, it's just ideas I'm sending on to you.) But, if you'd really want to give a gift I'd love, by heck Well, shall we say in figures "four" you could send me a check. By MRS. IRENE M. WILSON, 329 McKinley street.

"Stardust Melodies" Is as good a platter program as can be found anywhere. Your man ner or presenting the best re cordings of the top popular musicians is great. The different feature band, guest vocalist, and intermission band each evening offers a very agreeable varia tion from mill run disc pro grams. Then, too, the gue.ts-it-and-take-it adds a lot of zest and plenty of interest. Thanks for a well balanced program one that is packed with a full measure of listen ing pleasure." Good work.

MMMMrVMrsMIMrMVorVW The World Today By DeWiTT MacKENZlE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst kialb a Nana, ai.-.i raiu, r. iri'iir, w. i. iV " row Ilritish Prime Minister Alt Ices announcement in the house of commote yestcrdny that m'iso tiatiotis soon would bo under taken looking to tlie Independ ence of Burma one of Eng land s treasure house precipi tated a briet but highly signifi cant debate between the imper ialism of a rapidly passing day and the socialism which is its antithesis. Attlce's statement ' brought Wiiwhm Churchill to his feet with the pungent and colorful charge that the prime minister was speeding "the decline and fall of the British Empire." The old Tory maestro was In rare oratorical form, which means that so far as the deft manipula tion of words is concerned he was In a class byJiimself. Echo of thTej Past Still, to many, his was a voice echoing tire just and declining to recognize the march of time. Of course, one can understand hi feeling, for as he pointed out: "We have held Burma since 1883. 1 have always followed its affairs with attention, because it was my father who was respon sible for the annexation of Burma." Churchill's father one of the great of England's aristocracy was secretary of state for India at that time. The Churchill were empire builders, and proud of John Bull's endless posses sions. So one can renlUo how Churchill felt when he flunz at Attlee: "This haste is annulling scut tled Is the word, and the only word, that can be applied." To this the prime minuter re plied with a line which speaks volumes to those who recogniie that the days of imperialism are past. Attlee said: The government of this coun. try has not been too fast it has been too slow." Implication Plain The Implication there Is pluin. Had England acted soon er, perhaps her chunces of keep ing Burma and India within the commonwealth as sovereign states would have been better. Attlee said he hoped that Burma would remain a member of the commonwealth, and he has ex. 'pressed similar hopes for India. ! As matters now titnd there is nu i assurance tliese oriental cmnt ' tries may not cut loose entirely , from the mother country. Bui whatever they decide, we 'must recognUr; an the Attlee fiovcrmnent doe that the day l nasi when different ruees fun lie held toxether by Imperial ties alone. The Ilritish dominion", are bound by blood a imliiriil union. Hut there is no such bund between Ihe English and the Burmese or the Indians. The sumo can be snld of The Nether lands and the Dutch East Indies or of any other Imperial hook up in which a "mother country" trie to impose its will on peo ples of another race.
