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.

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"

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

a check.

Falls. "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. Van, and we hope
you enjoy many more "Star,

radio-phonograph.

AP Foreign Affairs Analyst

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.
