But, again, bow about the retired school teacher, in grandmother, the widow, the person trying to Br on Insurance premiums? If there's been a tragedy from the soft money policy, the high price of everything, of recent years. It's fallen on the elderly person who Is trying to lire decently on a little dab of savings Invested in auybe Oeneral Motors stork. These people have to live, too, and their earnings have to go up with everything else If they're going to stay off relief. Some of these people live In your neighborhood, and If they had a few shares of OM, I'm happy for them. EVERYBODY wants low prices, low wages and salaries, low earnings for everybody they dont know. But If your cousin, the farmer, made a killing In potatoes or barley, great? If your neighbor, the business man, had a record season, he's a sound operators! If your buddy, working for wages, got a raise, you slap him on the back! Let's take the sin out of an honest profit whether It's from the soil, from business, or the sweat of your brow whether we know the man or not. If hes filling you with envy, don't worry, competition win move in and get in the swim with him. CAUGHT In The Rounds: Virgil.

By GEORGE E. 80KOLSKV TALK to almost any young man today, particularly one who had been in the war, and it aoon be comes clear that there Is a pattern of thought in bis generation. It might be stated this way: 1. He wants security; that Is. some kind of guar antee from the state that he will not become a derelict at any stage of his lite. 1 He is opposed to war and hopeful that he may never again be required to go to war. He la willing to make numerous sacrifices to prevent war. For Instance, he favors the Marshall Plan and similar measures In the hope that we can "buy peace for s prolonged period. 1 The "one world" concept appeals to him and he is pusxled by the fsrt that "one world" seems to have failed. He does not understand the failure and does not believe that Soviet Russia la alto gether responsible but he has developed a new kind of isolationism that la, that the United States ought to let the Russians take over In Europe and Asia rather than nsk a war. He mystically "feels" that the Russian empire will break up. THESE must be something very wrong In the teaching of economics in our colleges, for con versations with students, particularly economic majors, produce amasing evidence of a lack of knowledge of simple arithmetic, especially as re lated to costs. They seem not to understand how governments raise money, the relationship between government expenditures and national production, or of the value of currency as affected by national debt and cost of living. In one Instance, a young fellow said to me that he could not worry about what the effect of present government expenditures might have on the eco nomy, and therefore on his life, a quarter of a century hence. His assumption Is that the thing to do is to spend what he believe needs to be spent now and it will all work out later. When I asked what was going to work out later and how, be seemed very puzzled. I find thst very few students know or can re member figures and insist upon talking In general' lues. For instance, in one conversation, I raised the point that It costs about $20,000 . to provide a job for one man in the steel industry. I asked him how that can be done by little business, if a small, in teg: s ted steel company requires a capital! cation of about 100,000,000 to start. It was all Greek to him although he had studied economics in one of our greatest universities and got good marks. IF one emphasizes a philosophy of life, a theory of national existence, a stone wall seems to ap pear. The young men and women say that that is Impractical talk. They want to get down to cases. They do not care what Alexander Hamilton or Thomas Jefferson or John Marshall had to say about our government. We deal with what we face today and everything must be dealt with from day to day. When they are asked how a country can base a long-term policy without some philosophy of life and action, the answer is that the world is changing: that the battle is between some kind of social democracy and communism and that social democracy is preferable to communism. But capital ism is out. THE gist of aU this is that a nation can be conquered by Ideas as well as by arms. A nation can become a pushover for an enemy once its people lose confidence in its reason for existence. American principles of life, the inalienable rights of the individual, his obligations, his responsibilities, seem not to have been taught or, if they have been taught, they have made little impression on the generation that is about to take over. In their place is an opportunism, a day-by-day functioning to meet Immediate objectives and to achieve Immediate ends on the basis of a pessimistic and almost nihilistic disregard of the future of the United States. It is a dangerous reaction to a war in which "one world was substituted for nationalism. And the danger is ail the more frightening when our enemy Intensifies his nationalism and his war like imperialism. HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SIDE GLANCES V Q R!JjUta.

S The World Today j i Boyle's Column Pegasus-Gladys, Neurotic Horse Goes to Psychiatrist Gallup Poll Youngsters Going to Dogs? Most Poll Voters Think Not By GEORGE GALLVP PRINCETON, N, J. President Truman recently assured a caller that he does not think the young people are going to the dogs. Young adults between the ages of SO and 80 tend to agree with him. But the oldsters, those of 50 years or over, aren t so sure that he's right about to day's youth. Whereas peo ple under 50 think that, on the average, johnny and 6u ale are more level beaded and have more common sense than young people did a generation ago. the older people Gallup are evenly divided on that point. In order to see what position the general public takes on the age-old debate over the sins of the younger generation, the Institute had inter viewers in aU parts of the country put this question to a balanced cross-section of the grown-ups: Tea bear some talk these days a boat yonng People In America 'going to the docs.'

Better Education Analysis of the reasons shows a widespread belief that youngsters today have a better education and a great deal more knowledge than the youngsters a generation ago. "They take more Interest In af fairs about them," says one voter. "They're more Interested in prob lems of society." Another takes this view: "They're living In a world with faster tempo. You have to have more common sense to get along!" Are They Spoiled? Persons in the survey who think the young people are definitely not of the caliber of youth a generation ago say that the modem boy and girl Is too "spoiled" and has too much freedom. "They have no respect and con sideration for others," says one. An other declares: "They believe In having a good time bot they don't want to work. They drink toe much and lead loose lives." People who think the youth of today is about the same no better, no worse than the youth of yes terday, cling to the belief that "times have changed but young peo ple remain the same," or "human nature doesn't change much from cne generation to the next." By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK. UPt Down the street came a horse trotting sideways. In the saddle rode Gilbert Wsrb. looking very uncomfortable. For he was trailed by a crowd of hooting small boys attracted by the strange sight of a horse thai ambled side- ys. 'Uiaaaup, regasm t- saia uuoen to his doleful steed. "Whyn't you get a motor car, mis- children. t "Go away, lit- , tie bo vs." plead- ' ed Gilbert. , "Can't you see youre malting my horse ner vous?" But they fol lowed him until Pegasus s 1 d e stepped up a n d halted t a building that bore the sum: "Dr. Ambrose Hal Boyle Withers, animal psychologist." Wsrb dismounted and rang the belL The door opened. "What can I do for you?" said Dr. Withers. He was a big. ran boned man with a long face, hair like a mane and huge buck teeth. NenroUe "Well, I feel a little silly about this." said Gilbert. He fished out a newspaper clipping and showed it to the doctor. The clipping said: "London veterinarian says neurotic animals need psychological treat ment Just like humans." Dr. Withers nodded his head pro fessionally. "Very true." he said. "Just what are your horse's neurotic symp toms? -Well." said Gilbert. "I bought him for 1200 at an auction as a sad dle horse for my wile. But the darn fool won t run like any other horses I he wlU only run s'deways." H-mrnrn, refusal to face life." murmured the doctor. "Come into my office." Muar They led Pegasus Inside. After ca joling It with two carrots, a lump of sugar and an apple. Withers flnal- lv got the horse to lie down on a couch. He began to neigh In his ear. and the horse looking around at Gilbert with a frown whinnied back. "I'm sorry" said Dr. Withers. But Pegasus feels shy with you in the room. Would you mind leaving?" "Well. Ill be said warn. But he left. Half an hour later the ani mal psychologist emerged. Is it anything serious?- asked Gilbert. What does he want to be called?" "Glad vs." "Oh. well. If that's all" Disturbed "But It Lin t that simple." said Dr. Withers. "Oladys Is disturbed about her family. She loved her mother, who was a retired thoroughbred. But she hates her father because he was nothing but a common plowhorse in the next pasture. "This goes against her grain. And she expresses this frustration by go ing sideways Instead of forward. I'm afraid she's a very mlxed-up girl." "But what can I do to cure her?" demanded Gilbert. "I'll have to psychoanalyse her. Leave her with me for a few months. 1 11 give her three consulta tions a week at 115 each and try to convince her she should for get her father and face life on her own four feet." Cured Six months later he called Warb back, handed him a bill for tlHO and announced "She's cured." Gilbert saddled the smiling horse, and she galloped confidently home straight forward. Exactly a week later he rode Gladys back to the psychologist. "A fine thing you did to my horse." he said sternly. "What's the matter, is she going sideways again?" asked the surpris ed doctor. No, Oladys runs aU right." said Gilbert, "but every morning at 10 o'clock she Insists on coming into the living room, plopping down on the sols and telling her troubles to my wife for an hour. And I want to know what you're going to do about it" Child Rescued From Air Shaft PORTLAND. Nov. 16 P) Two-year-old Gaylen Larson was able to smile today for photographers. But for a while yesterday he was scream ing a lungful at the bottom of a furnace air shaft. Firemen worked for 15 minutes to pull him out of the bottom of the cold air shaft. He had tumbled about ten feet after his mother, Mrs. H. W. Larson, had removed a grill while cleaning.

By DKWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Aflalrs Analyst I One of the greatest boons for peace and rehabilitation of Kurope would be a soluUon of the bitter enmity belweeu Oermany and Frame and from important quar ter! comes guarded ord Uiat tilers ts hoie the breach may be healed. British Fureign (Secretary Bevln told an audience In London that the recent Parla meeting ol the Big Three foreign m I n isters (America. Brit ain and France! dealt with "probably one of Uie biggest prob lems o all the integration o t Germany Into Western civilisa tion." And then: "I am sorry I cannot say any thing about these discussions here. It was a Markenale very delicate matter to handle. "We can only hope that the re suits of these discussions will be the beginning of the ending of ths ase-iong leuo between the French and Germans." The unexpected statement by one or me world s leading statesmen was precedrd by other equally sur prising pronouncements from the hostile camps themselves. Going back to the early part of this month we find French Foreign Minuter Schumsn trying to convince hi pro. p:e mat tne beat way to avoid trou ble with the Oermana is for the two countries to become good neighbors instesd of suspicious rivals. Thai's strong medicine for the av erage French cltlten to swallow However, not only Schuman but oth er French officials said the chances of ending the old Pranco-Oerman feud were better than ever before In history. And a few days later Ludwlg Er hard, economics minister for the new West German republic, predict ed In Paris that the future of Eu ropran cooperation will depend on Franco-German cooperation. H e said It should be easier now to bring the two countries together be. cause their economic Ideaa corres pond Erhard told a news conference he was In Paris to find an economic basis for a political agreement which he expected would be con cluded soon. He said Germany rec ognised the French need for securi ty guarantees and was willing to make sacrifices In order to demon strate Its readiness for reconcilia tion. Sounds encouraging, doesn't It? Certainly things seem to be moving in the right direction. However, we snail be wise If awerping conclusions. The enmity between Oermany and France la deep-seated. Over the years there has grown up this mighty Franeo-Orrman barrier which allied statesmen are now try ing to remove. There finally Is gen eral recognition of the fact that allied statesmen are now trying to remove. There finally Is general rehabilitation of Germany Is essen tial to rehabilitation of Europe, and that there cannot be full rehabilita tion of Oermany until the Franco Oerman quarrel la settled. This recognition in Itself is s nopeiui sign. CARNIVAL TUESDAY, NOV. 13, U1 By Dick Turner V ' si ' i v ... ; -k M tom. so sr ui seawse. is v. ass, a a ear ere. "But. Waldo.

An enlargement of the thyroid gland or goiter ran produce any one of aeveral different symptoms. The enlargement may be grneral and the entire gland Involved. This Is called a diffuse goiter. The gland may be enlarged In places In ths form of growths or nodules and this Is called a nodular goiter. In such caaea, the gland feels rough and Ir regular. It can be enlarged likewise by cysts and other conditions. Regardless of the type of enlarge ment the gland may continue to function fairly satisfactorily. Some times, however, the secretion be comes excessive or abnormal and causes what are known aa toxic symptoms. In other words one can have a simple nodular goiter, a diffuse enlargement, a toxic nodular goiter or a toxic diffuse goiter. Treatments Vary The treatment of a loiter depends we don't Jump to on many factors which have to be analysed In each Individual ease.

It's a swell Idea especially In schools where there are no Indian children who are not free. I would like to say a word about myself. I went to Indian schools with different races al though it has been quite a while ago, but it stands out In my mem ory above everything else. How can you expect to make good citizens out of a people who, when they get half way up the ladder, some one knocks them down again. From the time an Indian child la old enough to put two and two together, he knows his parents are not free and has it thrown at him by col ored and Mexicans, even Jap chil dren, that they have more privi lege and can do things that they, the Indians, can't do. For Instance, two little boys about seven years old were picking up beer bottles along the road. They stopped and asked if I had any. As they started away, the colored boy said to the Indian boy. "your dad and mom can't buy beer, can they?" The Indian boy never answered as the colored boy said, "mine can. He makes money when he buys It for the Indians." Don't you think that stays In his heart as he grows and hears and sees It In his dally life. How can he be expected to respect race, and color. I think that goes for most of the Indian children whose parents like a little nip once in a while who if they had the privilege to stand up to the bar would be better or as good as any race. And they would not have to pay double to these (free) races to get It for them and then hide like animals to drink It. Why can't these people be free and raise their children who are Intelligent and bright If given a chance as free children? Thanks, ORACE RAM BO, Chlloquln Ore. KLAMATH FALLS, Ore.
