Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
THERE'S powerful human tendency to turn
our faces and thoughts away from tin
.Uh.nni trnih. W sit down to our tvoewriter
lu wrue it iiliic pitic iuuui
pnnnnr the view from our win
"""Vl dow displays such a grand
I , 1 spring morning, that we are
strongly tempted to write in
stead about motor trips and
the attraction of the high
desert and the mountains that
we feel as the weather turns
to the good side in the Klam
ath country in spring.
It's a grand place to live,
and to go on, year after year,
waiting for the turn of the
rpt.EY seasons that is old as time and
yet thrillingly new every time it happens.
. And here's a thought: it is the objective of
(he drive against cancer to make the happiness
ot living, in which somehow the turn of the
seasons is fundamentally a part, last longer for
more, people.
"or. it is stark truth that unless the current
toll of cancer is stopped, that horrible disease
will take ONE OUT OF EVERY EIGHT persons
now living in this city. It will strike one out
of every two families.
Is it worth doing something about? we think
it is and we are sure that people of the Klamath
country will do their part to help stoo this
appalling tragedy.
Fund Drive
THE immediate issue is the cancer fund pro
gram, an event set annually for April, a
month when life does indeed seem well worth
living and worth preserving.
' The 20-30 club of Klamath Falls has com
mendably agreed to assume the responsibility
of the drive for $2850, Klamath county s. part
f the Oregon quota of the National Cancer
society. . .
. We believe this Klamath quota can be reached
Without difficulty. As chairman for the society
in this countv, we've already received many
inquiries from people who will give VOLUN
TARILY, evidence that there is wide interest.
, Those who will give to the cancer fund
should send their contributions, preferably by
check, to the 20-30 club. Box 778. or to this
writer, in care of The Herald and News, Klam
ath Falls, Ore. The money will go into" the
fcreat research program and into state and local
efforts to control and cure cancer.
Spread Of Truth
BUT the money angle is not all that can be
done about the scourge of cancer.
There ta a need for wider knowledge of the
symptoms of cancer for its early detection can
save lives and reduce that toll that the statistics
how us strikes so close to home.
- It is claimed that at least one-third of the
17,000,000 Americans now doomed to die of
fcancer could be saved if the disease were
detected in time and proper treatment given.
What is needed is wider personal consciousness
of the symptoms of cancer, and missionary zeal
in the spread of information about it.
i There are three acceptable methods for treat
ment of cancer surgery, radium and X-ray.
They can be effective if undertaken in time.
But there is still a tremendous job of research
to be done to discover the eventual cure which
authorities aarec is the ultimate solution. But
it is a long time assignment. No one la yet in
a position to say Just what are the causes of
cancel1 what sets off bodily cells into wild,
uncontrolled growth, which is in effect what
happens when cancer develops. Until the cause
is determined, the cure will not be developed.
That is why we must lose no time in financing
the research that must be depended upon to
find out these tremendously important truths
for us.
We well know that on the success or failure of
research depends the lives of hundreds of people
right in our own community. Is it so surpris
ing there is so much voluntary interest in
helping do something about it?
The World Today '
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst
ONE of the highly important questions in
connection with President Truman's policy
of Greco-Turkish aid naturally is how long it
may take to complete the program, and some
administration officials have expressed the hope
that it can be done in IS months.
Senator Taft, head of the senate republican
policy committee, also told a reporter yesterday
that his approval ot the bill to implement the
new policy was given reluctantly and with the
hope that the program could be ended in a
year or fifteen months. He added:
"Once the treaties are ratified, Russia is com
mitted to withdraw her troops from the Balkan
countries within 90 days, except for those left
to protect communication lines in Austria. If
the Russians get out, as they have promised to
do, I think the threat that Greece and Turkey
will fall under communist domination will end.
In that case I can see no further reason for our
continuing to give them assistance."
One notes the use of the word "hope" rather
than "expectation" in both cases. And indeed
there are a good many "ifs" to be accounted
for before the hope becomes a reality.
Big Four Agreement
IN the first place, of course, we must get an
agreement among the Big Four on the Ger
man and Austrian treaties. The latter shouldn't
be too difficult to negotiate, but the pact for
Germany is one of the toughest ever under
taken, because that country is the politico-economic-military
keystone for he reconstruc
tion of chaotic Europe. Moreover, the treaty
is being negotiated by allies who are split into
two camps.
Before that German treaty can be written
there must be a tremendous lowering of the
barriers betwen Russia and the western allies.
There must be a removal of the hostile distrust
now existing. There must be a vast amount or.
give and take and it won't be easy, for Russia
has emerged as the dominant power for the
continent and the readjustment will come hard.
We must get a precise definition of the aims
and ambitions of the so-called Western bloc.
The term "bloc" has come to be an unhappy
one, but blocs exist and must be recognized.
What each bloc wants to know, and must
know, about the other is "quo .vadist?"
whether goest thou?
Every Eastern European and Central Eu
ropean country which Russia has communized is
to all intents a member of the Soviet Union even
though retaining so-called sovereignty. Every
one of the satellites obeys the word of Moscow
with Question.
So we see that the withdrawal of Russian
troops from occupied areas wouldn t necessarily
insure the security of sovereign states of that
zone- unless we get a complete show-down be
tween the two blocs in advance.
It was with this in mind that in yesterday's
column we ventured to advocate a meeting of
the Big Four chiefs of state to see if amity
can't be restored.

BEAUFORT. N. C. April 12
A) The federal government is
i trying to pass the common man
a plate or simmering maia
colemmys centrata.
Lots of people never heard of
this obscure government pro
gram, but it's been going on
since 1912. It has made mala
colemmys centrata more plenti
ful, but the average citizen still
will have to get by for some
years on vegetable soup.
The malacolemmys centrata
yes, and the malacolemmys
palustris, . too, for that matter
is the double-jointed pet nam.
scientists have given to the
diamond-back terrapin.
This armored frequenter of
east coast tidal marshes looks
like a midget blacksnake with a
patterned plate stuck on its back.
It has a long neck, beady eyes,
a morbid temper and, by and
large, is one of the ugliest things
ever to crawl over a cypress root-
But to epicures of all ages the
terrapin or turtle has been a
creature of gastronomic beauty.
Beneath his shell dwells the
fleshly ingredient for stews of
surpassing delicacy. Kings
served it at state dinners, 19th
century butter-and-egg men
bought it by the bucket for their
light-o'-loves. Elderly Chinese
spent their burial money on it,
believing that terrapin stew was
the true fountain oX eternal
youth. ' i . , 1
Bad for Terrapin
This was all very good for
the health of the gourmets but
unhealthy for the terrapin him
self. They were fished out by
the millions from Cape Cod to
Texas until diamond-backed ter
rapins threatened to become as
scarce as terrapin-backed dia
monds. The wild supply began to give
out. A further slump in the in
dustry came during the prohibi
tion era when wine en essential
to the stew was banned.
The former U. S. bureau of
fisheries began studying arti
ficial cultivation methods in
1902 and ten years later estab
lished 'the world's largest diamond-backed
terrapin hatchery
here. It has produced 240,000
young turtles for experimental
and breeding purposes and to
restock coastal areas.
Uncle Sam adopts the eggs as
soon as the females lay them in
the warm sand and waddle for
getfully back into the water. Tho
sun hatches them, and the gov
ernment houses them through
their first winter to protect them
from minks, rats and seagulls.
After they awake from their
hibernation they are turned
loose to operate under the free
enterprise system.
Terrapins are prolific to a ripe
old, age. Some matronly turtles
are still laying eggs at fifty
years. The hatchery's brood
stock of 572 stud turtles and
2071 females produced 11,370
young last year, valued at $5000
if sold commercially.
Terrapin stew is again Increas
ing in popularity but it is still
in the class of high-priced, lux
ury foods.
Mark.t Valu.
"The demands and market
value of the terrapin may again
justify the establishment of ter
rapin farms in southern coastal
areas where a cheap supply of
food trash fish and crab scrap
is available," said Dr. Herbert
F. Prytherch, head of the Beau
fort laboratory, who also is ship

Some 50,000 pounds of wild

year, but they are still too scarce
to fit the budget of the lower in

Outlining other commercial
possibilities for fish farmers too
impatient to wait a decade for a
turtle to ripen into stew meat,
Dr. Prytherch said:
"Young diamond-backed ter
rapins could profitably be raised
and sold as pets for America's
35 million children."
The rriere suggestion of such
heresy would startle the ileo

In tho clear early twilight the
telescopes were bolng readied
for tho university astronomy
cIiim, due to arrive 30 minutes
later. Soon on the street be
low, flvo little boys on bicycles
riitllcd to a stop, An immedi
ate Invllullou was called to
them, "Lltiys, coma up and see
the moon,'' All worn silent for
a moment. "Why?" queried one
puzxlvd voice, "Come up and
find out," was the reply.
Dubious, but curious, five lit
tle lads stumbled hurriedly up
the long observatory stairway,
and the leader peered liwlde,
"Gee, there's a teletcopel Oh
mister, do we get to see the
moon through ft?" This was
exactly the intent of the invlta
ation. After a short explanation of
the mounting, the driving mo
tor, and tho method of focusing
the Instrument for each Individ
ual eye, the first boy seated
himself and looked Into the eye
piece. Breathless silence en
sued while he mijimtod the fo
cusing screw. Then
"O-o-oh sa a ayl That's
ke-c-enl" "What yuli see, what
yuh see?" hurriedly broke from
four quivering bystanders. "Oh,
It's just soo-o clear! There's big
holes in It, and smooth place
wlth little holes in em! Yes,
there's mountains and thrre's
shadows! The moon seems right
here Just like you could reach
out and touch It!"
Soon all had been duly Initiat
ed Into the mysteries of optical
adjustments and, after a brief
study of a lunar picture on the
wall, were ready for more de
tailed tolescoplc viewing. They
first noted the maivln-the-moon,
that mythical creature well out
lined by darker places on tht
moon's yellow surface. All saw
his legs, body, head, nose, hat
and the basketball he was
bouncing. Careful Inspection
clearly showed these dark
places were wide and level
plains. They are called seas by

Hugo craters wore Conspicu
ous over much of the moon.
They resembled terrestrial vol
canto craters from which all th
upper portions hud been blown
oil, Home had depth; others,
only slightly dmni'ssed flat
floors, Wo especially noticed
I'lato, a Juggt'd rim nuiToumllug
a very level floor 8(1 miles
across. The higher prnks of
this rim cast sharp, bliu'k, ghost
ly shadows across the level In
terior. We also found desert re
gions wonderful for aiilomo
Clllng several fine mountiilii
ranges and Isolated peaks. The
charming 80-nille Alpine vallpy
looked like a straight knltecut
through the mminlnliiK,
The university students wer
beginning to arrive. Suddenly
one of our Utile visitors com
manded, "We gutla get out o
here tils folks are comln'."
Down the slulrs they tumbled In
confusion, each as he ran ex
pressing profound gratitude for
the privilege accorded tlipm at
the telescope. Then im they
reached their tuiigled bicycles
on the street below, a final
cheery voice culled clearly
through the moonlit night,
"Thanks a lot, mister."
