FRIDAY, DEC. 12, U7 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PACE FOUR FRANK JKNK1NB Editor Today's Roundup ' By MALCOLM EPLEV ANNUALLY, at Christmas time, there Is an out pouring ol generosity for those in need In this community. The spirit of the season gets hold of local folks, and they seek to do some thing special at a special time. These efforts have not always been as widely beneficial as they should be. In some instances, word got around about certain needy people and they got most of the aid, while others, equally deserving, got little or nothing. It Is to make Christmas gen erosity as effective and widely beneficial as possible that the Christmas bureau has been formed here tills year. It Is sponsored ,t. v.i.(h mmil nrt will Djr iuu. w , , serve as a community clearing - fciutir house for efforts in behalf of the needy this season. Its function will be both to accept gifts for the needy and to distribute them. It will gladly receive sug gestions as to the deserving. We have always been a bit doubtful about efforts to mechanize generosity, which Is best when it Is per sonal and spontaneous. But the Christmas bureau, If It functions as planned, should perform a worthy community service In coordinating the Christmas charity work of all organisations of the community. It should prevent duplication of effort and make more people happy. It deserves cooperation. Mrs. Small's Gift MRS. P. O. SMALL, who Is leaving this community soon, could not leave anything with us of more real value and more appropriately significant than her extensive collection of wildflowers of the Klamath country. She has given this collection to the Klamath county museum a generous and thoughtful decision. Probably no one knows more about the flora of our area than does Mrs. Small. She has made the study of plant life here, and the collection of specimens, a major work as well as a hobby In the years she has lived here. The collection given to the museum is, carefully prepared and catalogued, and will be of in calculable benefit over the years. On the occasion of one of our first meetings with Mrs. Small many years ago, we asked her about a wild shrub we had seen on a hillside which appeared to us to have blossoms like the popular snowballs seen in many domestic yards. She could not tell us what we had seen, i?om our meagre description, nnd we soon forgot the conversa tion. It must bare been a year later that we happened to see Mrs. Small again. She immediately reported that she had been searching for the shrub we had told her about, and had been unable to find any such plant We bad forgotten, but she had taken our tip and immediately took up the trail of something new. We have never since seen the particular shrub we mentioned, and have sometimes wondered if it were not Just plain elderberry blossoms that we mistook, in a quick glance from the car, to be in the shape of balls. But the incident served to demonstrate Mrs. Small's devotion to her interest in the plant life of the Klamath region. She translated that interest into something tangible, and is leaving it with the community. We are grateful. These Days By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY BACK in 1933, the London economic conference was called to save the world from the effects of a stoppage of International trade, attended by the principal nations. Whimsically, President Roosevelt killed It. In the It years that have passed since then, the The Doctor Says Report Cancer By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN. M. D. Written for NEA Service The education committee of the American Cancer society has estab lished a set of abbreviated cancer danger signals. Everyone should memorize these signs and symp toms: L Any sore that does not heaL 2. Any lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere. 3. Any change in a wart or mole. 4. Persistent hoarseness or cough. 5. Persistent indigestion or diffi culty in swallowing. & Unusual bleeding or discharge. 7. Any change in bowel habits. In its earliest stages, cancer pro duces no signs or symptoms. Pain is seldom a sign of beginning cancer. In order to shorten the time be tween the development of symptoms ana the start of medical care, the American Cancer society urges the public to act promptly in every in stance. Warning signs may result from a serious condition. Sores or ulcers caused by cancer fail to heal because growth con tinues until the cancer cells are destroyed or removed from the body. A lump or thickening in the breast results from the local growth of cancer cells into the surrounding tissue and the development of scar tlwue to resist their invasion. Warts and moles may be present for a long time without showing any FRIDAY EVE., DEC. 12 KFLW VV.li.ra :00 6:1ft :?5 6:46 t:5fl B ports Lineup Horns towd Ntwi K Ariel Natis The CberlirABO Champion Roll Call ABO lllft 7:30 7:45 S:00 1:80 S:4ft :M :0O lift 9:19 S:4B 10:00 10:1ft The tat Man ABC i nil u Tour F.B.I.

Cancers of the stomach cause dis tress in the abdomen. Indigestion is always a symptom. Coogh May Be Clue There are several causes of per sistent hoarseness or cough, but one of them is cancer of the larynx or lungs. In the former, local examina tion will usually suffice; in the lat ter, special X-ray and other ex aminations are advisable. Unusual bleeding or discharge fiom the body orifice may result from an ulcerated cancer. Change in bowel habit follows development of growths in the wall of the in testines. QUESTION: Are hair tonics of value for the hair? ANSWER: No Many of them con tain alcohol which removes ex cessive grease, but the scalp mas sage employed In applying the tonic is probably their only value.

They have not only been ag gravated by a war that devastated both Europe and Asia, but two of the principal producing nations have been felled and produce no more. Clair Wilcox, director of the office of International trade policy of the state department, correctly de scribes conditions for the year 1947 as follows: ". , , Instead of shrinking, exchange controls and quota systems have taken on a larger scope. Instead of relaxation, they have been intensified. Instead of declining, discrimination Is on the rise. Instead of disappearing, bilateral agreements, swapping promises of export licenses and setting up clearing accounts, have been renewed and multiplied. And even in the articles of agreement of the international monetary fund, the charter for an international trade organlai tlon, and the general agreement on tariffs and trade one finds exceptions that will permit restrlctlonlsm and discrimination to survive. The most Important of these exceptions are temporary; they are subject to prescribed conditions; and they are surrounded by careful safeguards. But they offer no assurance that the conditions that govern the trade of the world will shortly be set to rights. Indeed, before these condi tions get better it is even possible that they may take a turn for the worse." Striking Picture THE foreign trade of the United States presents a startling picture. We are exporting. In 1M7, $19. 000.000.000 In goods and services. Goods exported amount to more than (15.000.000.000 which ts five times the amount exported before the war. Our total Imports for 1947 amount to about J8.000.000.000. Tills means that the world owes us $11,000,000,000 for 1947 which has to be paid for in goods or In dollars or we give them what we export for nothing. If. for a prolonged period, we find ourselves hold ing the bag for such huge sums, we shall have to tax our people into poverty. No nation can afford to give away its wealth or to pay its customers to buy its goods. That, in effect, is precisely what we propose to do under the so-called Marshall plan: we propose to pay Europe, possibly $5,000,000,000 a year so that the Europeans can buy some American goods. The question is not hope and charity nor even faith. It is a cold matter of what a country can afford to do. Mr. Wilcox makes the point: ". . . Our exports are outrunning our imports for Europe by nearly 5 billion dollars, for North America by Hi billion dollars, for South America by l'i billion dollars, for Asia by 1 billion dollars, and for Africa by over H billion dollars . . That is called a favorable balance of trade, but in the topsy-turvy world in which we live. It is actually an unfavorable balance, because the party of the second part cannot meet the difference. He can not bike care of his balances. He is stuck and all that he can do about It is to slick us. Socialists Like Barter -l-HE picture is further complicated by the socialism I nt nnr riMLmmPTs In the mnltllfltet-Al trnriin? svstpm I of the capitalist world, private traders barged in to earn a dollar, but the socialist governments prefer barter among governments. Such products as rubber, tin and cocoa are government controlled. The social ist government of Great Britain really forces upon the world the kind of barter for which they criticized Mussolini and Hitler. As for Soviet Russia, it limits all foreign trade to government contracts. The result is bilateral trade, that is. each deal stops with a buyer-seller transaction and there are no margins for settlement outside the transactions, except subsidies from America. This process, whether you understand it or not. cost us pretty close to $11,000,000,000 in 1947. It may amount to even more. And the American taxpayer pays for it twice; once in taxes, and again in higher prices. Cut away the oratory from the Marshal plan and all it does is to give the customer the money he needs to buy our goods for which he cannot pay.

So comes the wind fast and high And makes the trees bow and sigh To a moon as a queen up in the sky.

There still are folks In the United Slates, and In other democracies, who think that because Huwla was our ally In the World War the prtseut clash must be based on mis understanding. Therefor, they think the difficulty can bo cleared up by comradely and concessions toward the Soviet Union. It would be grand If the problem could be solved so essllyl The trou ble with such an argument Is that Itf based on wishes and not on f.-.cts.
