Hitchcock, Klamath Falls, told the delegates of the state meeting that the dims era tic party does something for everyone except the small business man. He said republicans have been branded as reactionaries, but 'the worst kind of reaction of which the republicans are accused would only turn the clock back 30 years, while the democrats would turn it back thousands of years to the time of the Pharaohs and statism." He added, however, this is not a time f turning back rut -of taking those changes that are desirable and stopping before we reach the ex tremes that take away man's liberty and rob him of ambition.

Grass, Holiday Hazards And Luck By BILL JENKINS THE cattlemen of America have 1 Just recently gotten out a little brochure with the captivating title -You Cant Eat Crass." And ain't It the truth. Besides pointing out this fundamental gustatory lack In man. the book goes on to give some other rather Interesting figures. Grass Is America's biggest and most dependable crop. Income trom stockgrowlng nearly equals the com bined Income received from all other kinds of agricultural products. Cash sales of cattle and calvee In IMS amounted to 15.Ji3.IM.OuO. Amer icans spend an average of thirty two and a half million dollars a day for meat, Thai's a kit of money and a lot of meat. Pasture and grasing land, exclud ing hay land, covers better than half the area of the continental United States. A billion, fifty-two million acres to be exact. Out of this total some 613 million acres of grating land are In the West. It you had to ride fence around that area It would take a heck of a lot of riding. Those figures, too, are all recent ones. It wouldn't seem that there was any Immediate danger of the beef Industry coming to a. sudden end. And even with modern meth ods steadily coming in. the cowboy will be with us for a long time, complete with saddle horse, chaps and big hat. Raising beef has all the pegs needed on which to hang the mantle of romanticism. But It you look it It another way a cattleman is noth ing but a business tycoon. Just like the steel men and the butter and egg men. He Is taking one product, grass, and converting It Into an other, more usable item, beef. You probably wouldn't like the grass even In a tossed salad, but there are -very few amongst our number who dont go for a thick steak in a big way. Dont leave out the ro mance, but also don't sell the cat tlemen short as a businessman. THE national board of fire under writers Is also in there with a publication. The general theme of theirs Is. -dont let Banla be a tire man. The paper Is nothing more than a wanting, given every Christ mas, to please, for gosh sak.es. play It aafe with the tree and other dec orations around the house. Your tree can be a lot of fun to decorate, but use some oommon sense In do ing It and don't make It a potential flame thrower. A Christmas spent in the snow grasing ruefully at the ruins of what was, fifteen minutes ago, your home can be a very dis couraging one. And not a year goes by, despite the constant warnings of this group and others, that some one doesn't put real candles on a tree, park It In front of a healer or a fireplace or pull some other cloth headed stunt that eventually leads to a fire. As usual, all you really have to do is think a little before you put up the tree. THERE are probably just as many lucky people living in Klamath Falls as anywhere In the world. If you don't believe that Just step ouuide any good Icy morning and watch the traffic roll by. Driving on roads that are aa slippery as a greasy platter plenty of motorists think It perfectly safe to be barging down city streets at anywhere trom to, 40 mllea per hour. They are lucky if they don't pile up. The other lucky ones are the own ers of parked cars who dont get hit when somebody going by .has to use his brakes and skids Into them. Or the pedestrian who survives a street crossing without gelling mowed down. Ouesa It's Just too easy tu keep on going faster, rather Ulan trying to slow down.
