SATURDAY, JAN. 54, 1949 PACE FOUR HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, ORECON FRANK jr.NKINi Idllor 'Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THIS may make people unhappy, but we mutt report that there Is nothing in the weather record here that show the present run of beautiful, balmy weather la "extremely unusual" ior uie Klamath country. Clear days we the rule, rather than the excep tion, in thU country in mid-winter. So far thU month, there have 'been 12 clear days. If this con tinue to month's end, it will set a record for clear days. However, since 1808 there have been 11 Janu arys with 11 or more clear days, and last January there were 15 clear days. Since 1908. there have been three .iminni with higher maximum -mr-u.ro 1 11r than llVP OCCUITed here this month. The maximum EPLEY so far in January. 1. Warmer temperatures were reported in Januarys of 1920. 1928 and 1934. For those who insist that what is happening now is extraordinary, there is a report from Crater lake that a new record has been set there for clear weather. But it will have to continue for several days to set a record in Klamath Falls. ' People have a way of remembering bad weather rather than good. We forget that in past years, there has been lota of pleasant, sunny weather here in the winter. Willamette Job LATEST word from the bureau of public roads on the Willamette highway surfacing program is that nothing can be expected until forest highway money, which finances this work, is appropriated through con gress. On two previous occasions, the bureau has called for bids on the Willamette work, and in both cases, it rejected them as too high. Presumably, it had the money when it called for bids, and presumably it apent it elsewhere or something happened so it isn't presently available. For the fiscal years 1946, 1947 and 1948. a total of $75,000,000 was "authorized" for forest highway ex penditures in the U.S. Authorization is not appropria tion, however, and to date, only ,9.800,000 has been actually appropriated. It is expected that substantial additional forest highway funds will soon be given the congressional green light. Work to that end is now underway. When that happens, certainly the Willamette highway Jobs should get an Immediate call In this section of the country. The situation on that road. In view of the traffic it carries and its general importance, demands an early surfacing program. Briefs From The Pocket File a MOST Interesting development on the local scene A is the move to bring Class D professional baseball to this city . . . The substantiality of the men who have undertaken leadership of this move ment gives bright promise of success . . . They deserve the encouragement and support of the community baseball lovers ... A few more "mentioned possibilities'' for the state representative posts open in this county, and it will be unanimous . . . Sheriff Lloyd Low, who is going to run again for Klamath sheriff, was one of the few republicans who withstood the demo cratic landslide of the depression years ... He holds some kind of a record in Oregon as a local vote-getter . . . Old-timers like to talk about the Klamath politician who went about the country on horseback, a bottle of whiskey in one saddle bag, a Bible in the other . . . That man, we are told, always knew which saddle bag to open when he approached a farmhouse . . . Two additional houses for employes are being constructed at Klamath Agency, even as the controversy goes on about the liquidation issue ... An automobile acci dent always gets bigger news play than an Industrial accident ... A lot of people work as well as drive ' cars, and if accident news is going to perform a public service In making people safety-conscious, it needs to drive the lesson home to Industrial workers as well as auto drivers.

Stardust Melodiss Club Moroooo Orch. ABO News Summary Telequssi By GEOKCiE E. SOKOl.SKY DR. NATHAN SCHACHNER has written, for the current Issue of the American Jewish Year Book, a learned and interesting article entitled, "Church, State and Education," which shows what the Jew has been and Is concerning religion In the ' schools of the various parts of the United States. While his summary of the history of tills subject Is of value, what he misses altogether is that atheism may be taught our children, but not the word of God, not the Bible, not the Psalms, not the Prophets, not the Apostles. Karl Marx is legal in the schools, but not Isaiah or St. Mark. They suffer from Biblical affiliation. For many, this Is a very serious question. They say that religion has no place in the schools. But has antl-rellglon a place? The real difficulty Is that the Catholics object to the St, James version of the Bible; the Protestants object to the Douai version: and the Jews object to both. But does anyone object to a materialistic, biologic Interpretation of man's place in society; does anyone complain that his child is being bombarded with an amoral position that man la a product of his environment and that morals are a matter of superstition and social pressures? In a word, all the talk of church and state has nothing to do with the fundamental question, which is, what is being done to offset and counteract their corruption by teachers who are atheists and who propagandize an atheistic conception of morals in the public schools? . Children Of God Quarrel DR. SCHACHNER S article does not deal with this at all Unfortunately, most of those who discuss this question are too concerned with money for bus rides and too little with the need for Ood. The real danger is not that the public schools will become sectarian but that fastidious parents will not send their children to public school. An increasingly large number do send their children to private and parochial schools. The Independent t pri vate) schools are not only for the rich and fashion able but tor children whose parents object to a ma terialistic, amoral education. They want their children to learn not only about the amoeba but also about the beatitudes. It Is a question of moral standards. Unfortunately, while the attack is being made on religion every kind of religion with increasing force, the children of God are divided into quarreling, bick ering sects who hate each other, denounce each other, discriminate against each other. They have forgotten that Christ taught: ". . . This Is my commandment: that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends ..." x And also, he said: "Y have heard that it hath been said, thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.' But I say unto, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you. do good to them that hate you. and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you . . ." i Problems For Philosophers BUT few of those, Christians some of them call , themselves, pay heed to this counsel. They fret and fume over school lunches and who shall get j them out of the taxpayer's money, but they do not j vturry auuuk uie puiauii uutt ia uttiiy uciug jjuurcu into the minds of their own children, poisons that have already produced an immeasurable debasement of man in Europe and projects here a society that knows no better guide than the rule of reason and necessity, the passion of self-satisfaction and in dulgence. Isiah cried out: ' "Woe to the multitude of many people. Which make a noise like the noise of the seas; And to the rushing of nations. That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!" This is not a problem for lawyers and doctors of philosophy. It is the obligation of every parent to protect his own child, to guard It, to nurture Its spirit as well as its body, to make it as strong morally as physically. That obligation can be passed on to no one surely not to the state. To the state, the child, as the person, is a statistical entity to be counted: to the parent, the child is the fulfillment of man's destiny as a moral being.

Parrish Death Learned Here Word of the death of a former Klamath resident. Henry L. Parrish of Rlpon, Calif., was received here this week.

O., Jan. 24 IIP) Actress Kay Francis continued to day to gain on an "upper respira tory Infection" which forced her from the stage of the Hartmtm theatre to an oxygen tent in White Cross hospital. The 43-year-old star of stage and screen collapsed yesterday from what detectives said was ah overdose of sleeping pills and under circum stances which led police to detain her stage manager for five hours while they Investigated.

He's going n make a speech, too: which prob ably will not be a political speech either, but he can't say he never made one. The political angle comes In a silly way. To my slightly super stitious and admittedly feeble mind It could have a bearing on the na tional republican ticket this fall. What few dollars I've won on horse races has always been on hunches and peculiar reasons for picking what turned out to be a winner, through no fault of mine and certainly through no knowledge of horses. I'm taking a long time getting atound to my hunch, but you see If I get my pay I, have to stretch these yarns out to reasonable length. The length is usually the only reasonable thing about 'em. Well, here's the dope: and If you place money on it and lose, don't blame me or ask for a refund be cause I'll be losing along with you. For the last 1 years there's been a peculiar happenstance between newspapermen's conventions, the men who speak at them and the re publican candidates the succeeding fall. ... There was the time that Frank Knox and I talked to newspaper men In New York and Frank turned up candidate for vice president. There was the time that John Brlcker and I talked to newspaper men In Columbus and John turned up candidate for vice president. There was the time In April, 1940 when I Introduced Wendell Willkle at the national newspaper meeting at the Waldorf and you know what happened to him that summer in Philadelphia. There was the time In 1944 that Tom Dewey and I talked to the same meeting again at the Waldorf and Tom got nominated that time. So seeing as how Tom and I are going to talk to the newspaper bunch this week In Albany I'm sap enough to believe that maybe the thing can happen again, and again and again. ... If you're the betting sort, chances are you've put your money on crazier hunches than these odd coincidences. Because, you see, on none of the four occasions did any of the four men make a political speech, nor did I. None of the four affairs was political, but all were newspaper meetings and all took place In national election years. I know what you're thinking and it's a nasty thought. It's that none of the four birds got elected and that If you were Tom Dewey you wouldn't get on a rostrum with me for love or money. Probably there's something to that, but by the time Tom reads this it'll be too late for him to back out. So the only thing he can do will be to plan some sort of anti dote. Maybe he can get on a speaking program with Jim Farley. Jim can get everybody elected except him self. Anyway, though none of the guyi I've Jlnxed got elected, still none of 'em ever was out of work.

NBC Brought to you by your friendly Ford Dealer BALSIGER MOTOR COMPANY Boyle's Column The Legendary Who Souqht By HAL UOYI.K NHW YOHK, Jan. 24 iT In a hotel room off limes Square, a small nun) wearing dark glasses sal talk ing of a dead man of mystery, one of the fabulous adventurers of mud em times. "He was the first white man time Marco Pulu to enjuy the confidence of China's rulers," said Eitii Albert Selle, an old China hand who M slowly recover ing from a siege of blindness oauitd by a Jupanese bullet In shanghai. The man ha spoke of was William Henry Donald the famous "Donald af China" an Australian who (or four decades was a power m II VI, IIOYI.E tho uncompleted UmK ol building a republican government In Uie vast land where live more than a (Kill of the world s people He ns a biii. suiingr, quietly blunt man who came to China as a new.spaiierman ami conceived early his lifelong passion to see the sprawling country become a modern democratic suite. "Donald got his first newspaper Job In Hong Kong because he was a teetotaler." said Selle. "That was what the editor ol the paper that hired him was looking for. He never took a drop ol liquor In his life, and ha had two favorite sayings he travels iastesl who travels alone, and lie travels fustcst who travels dry." Kdllor's Job The young reporter traveled far far enough to become a legendary figure in the land of the lotus. He began as an editor to a viceroy In the corrupt Manchu regime, switched to Uie revolutionary ban ner of Dr. Sun Yat-ssn, the Ideal istic "father of modern China." directed artillery fire Hint battered In the gates of Nanking, and be came advisor of Chiang Knl-shrk and Madame Chiang. The JapancM hutrd him and called him "the evil spirit ol China.'' Selle believes that except for Don ald. Japan could have sabotaged the Chinese revolution in 1911 and .seised the country III 1915. He sees Donald as the unifying furce that enabled China to enter the First World War and to hold off the Japanese In the secund one. "Donald aloise Is responsible for the world-wide sympathy that came to China and the Chiangs In the fight against Japan," Jie said. "His success and history alone will show the full extent of his Influence was due to the tact he was the one man in China all (ac tions could count on (or complete honesty," Sella continued. "He also refused to learn a word of the Chinese language or even to eat Chinese food. Ho didn't like the fond and he decided early that If he never learned the language the Chinese around hnn In eunlerenres could talk among themselves better and without embarrassment. "His sole diplomatic principle was to give advice but never argue." Broke With t'hlang In I94U Donald (ell out with the Chiangs Selle says It was because of disgust over oftlcial corruption In Kuomiutang high circles and the reiusal of Chiang 'at that time to deliver speeches Donald had written attacking Hitler. The next year the Chiangs ap pealed to him to return. Impatient at Uie delay In getting an air pri ority at Honolulu. Donald sailed on a freighter, which put In at Manila after Pearl Harbor. Donald was Interned with the (all of the Philippines, and although the Japanese police came to Uie camp searching for him he would have been a major prize Uie com mandant managed to shelter him. Released at war's end, the Aus tralian was taken to a Honolulu hospital where he was found to be dying of lung cancer. For twemy flve years he had refused huge sums to write his memoirs. But lying on lil;i hospital bed he decided to tell his story, and dictated It to a steno grapher brought by Selle. who has made It Into a book to be published next month. Knowing Donald s wish to die in his adopted land although Uie sick man refused to appeal to the Chiangs, Belle sent word to them. They arranged a special flight and Donald was flown to Shanghai, where he died In November, 1940. "What did Donald look like?" I asked Selle curiously. "I never saw him." he answered quietly.

Few comedies have provoked more hilarity than James Oleason and Klrhard Taber's "Is Zat So." a tough, rowdy account ol a Uilrd rule fighter and his manager who become enmeshed 111 the lush tangle of Park avenue society. Their en tree Is arranged by the seml-alco-hollc son of a wealthy family whose chief ambition Is to re-shape the very regular features of a brothrr-in-law who not only weighs better than 300 pounds but Is also extreme ly fast on his feet. That ambition requires the help of the fighter and his manager and they are readily Induced to accept Jobs In the house hold as domestics. Once that hap pens, a bewildering variety of com plications follow, all of Uiem highly amusing. O'Brien will be heard as "Hap Hurley," manager of a fighter whose prowess keeps both of them under nourished and virtually homeless. Miss Francis will be heard In Uie role of "Marie," a social secretary to the wealthy Blackburn family, Into the bosom of which the fighter and his tough manager move with a noticeable lack of grace. ...
