Shopping Nights
By DEB ADDISON
KLAMATH merchants, after considerable discus
sion, have set aside three evening openings a.
Family Shopping nights. (This Is being written Fri
day afternoon, so one Family Shopping night will have
passed when you read this.) There
are two more to come, the next
two Fridays before Christmas.
There are two comments to pass
on here on these openings.
The merchants announced the
evening openings, the first In a
number of years, for the con
venience of families to do th.
family Christmas shopping to
gether, leisurely. Some cynics have
remarked. "Teh. for the purpose
of making more money." Both
statements are right; and both
are wrong.
Let's be realistic Everything a
merchant does Is aimed at Just
one thing, serving the public pleasing a customer.
Altruistic? -No. Because Its only by serving th.
public pleasing a customer that a merchant can
fulfill his role as a business Institution. He has to
show a profit, or fall by the wayside.
A farmer goes to th. trouble and aspen se of
. irrigating, not because be thinks the good earth loves
the water; but because the good earth, "loving" tha
water, grows better spuds or alfalfa by having H.
So, the merchants are going to the trouble and
expense of staying open these three evenings be
cause they think It will be more convenient to some
Christmas shoppers, who will buy Christmas pres-
nts so the merchant can make a profit, to
continue to serve the public, and so on.
IT said here that these Family Shopping nights
were decided upon after "considerable discussion.
The executives and owners of th. stores up and
down th. street didn't get there by being molly
coddle yes-men. Most of them have been through
the mill both ways, and have pretty definite Ideas
of their own. I Imagine that the discussion, within
the lodge, presented quite a few divergent news on
the evening openings' because it took quite a few
years of "discussion" to get store hours down to
normal.
We think that when these fellows sit down In
January to plot a course for the coming year, they'll

ADDISON
By DEWITT MarKENElH
QRTTISH socialism, having just won another par-
LJ llamenury by-election to the discomfort of the
hopeful conservatives, is Just about set for the
forthcoming general election which may eventuate
by February.
This general election will determine whether the
voters want to continue the experiment in socialUin
or to revert to conservatism un
der the leadership of Winston
Churchill. Thus it bids fair to
be one of the most momentous
la British history.
If th. socialists are returned to
power at likely will mean, as I
see It. that they mill govern the
country not only for the normal
five-year term but will remain
In the saddle Indefinitely. Why?
Well, because In that fire yeats
they will nave completed their
program of nationalisation and
other socialisation.
It wouldn't be easy to revert to the capitalist
system of private enterprise once the country had
been socialised.
The current by-election, which was held at South
Bradford, wasn't in itself a matter of vast Import.
However, it was being wstched Intently by both
leftists and rightists as the straw which would
Indicate which way the political wind was blowing
across th. country.
The socialists, having won their SSth straight
by-election la South Bradford, figure the wind la set
fair for their ship of state.
THE conservatives had taken considerable hope
from the recent general election In New
Zealand where a labor (socialist) government was
kicked out. However. I fall to see that the two
situations an analogous. Britain Is a heavily over
populated Industrial nation without many natural
resources, while the dominion Is largely a farming
country, and a rich one at that. It's easier to see
red when you are getting jostled about in crowded
conditions.
British socialism is giving the voters a glowing
picture of achievements claimed. For example: The
number of unemployed in September, 1939, was
1.407.969 and In September, 1949, was XVtet; un
employment benefits, retirement pensions and health
services have been Inaugurated; the average weekly
wage rate has Increased by about M per cent since
1939 and the cost of living has Increased about
the same, but counting overtime pay the Increase
in earnings has been 103 per cent.
There's a lot more to the story. However, socialist
officialdom doesn't dalm all the credit for these
things. During virtually the whole war period the
government was a coalition, with the conservatives
in the majority. Furthermore, the conservatives also
aimed at the public benefits which have been
carried oat by th socialists.
OF ootarse there are two sides to every argument,
and opposition to the socialist program was
presented yesterday by Cecil Palmer, British book
publisher, in a speech before the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers In New York City. He de
clared the British government's nationalisation of
Industry la the short cut to ruin that may lead
bis country Into oommunism.
Palmer told his audience of 3000 that social
security is socialism's greatest racket, adding that
"it seduces the people into allowing the state to do
for them the very things they should do for them
selves." He called the national health service In
Britain aa "integral part of the socialist frame-up."
The Briton spoke in glowing terms of the finan
cial aid given by America and Canada, asserting
that without It "Britain surely would meet with
unthinkable disaster." He pointed out that this aid
is "borrowed from hated capitalistic systems which
the borrowers are so energetically trying to destroy."

Dizziness and Ear-Ringing
Commoner in Older People
By EDWI.V p. JORDAN. M.D.
There are many possible causes
for dixxy" spells, of which a con
dition known as Meniere's syndrome
is only one. More common in older
people, Meniere's cyndrome Is used
to describe a group or set of symp
toms rather than a disease.
For a long time the term "Me
niere's syndrome" was used loosely
for several different kinds of dis
eases of the inner ear, the symp
toms of which were alike In that
there were attacks of dizziness or
vertigo (there Is a slight technical
difference), ringing in the ears and
Increasing difficulty In hearing. More
frequently it was realized that va
rious disease conditions could bring
about the same symptoms.
Infection, fractures, tumors and
injuries may all cause similar symp
toms. Now doctors also speak of
"Meniere's disease" (not tyn drome)
as a distinct condition.
Symptoms Troublesome
The symptoms of Meniere's disease
ere Irregular attacks of dlzzinesc,
occasional ringing In the ears and
deafness. Its cause Is believed to be
a dropsy In the deep portion of the
ear called the Inner ear, or laby
rinth. This dropsical condition ac
cumulation of fluid does not often
develop in young people but from
the age of 45 on Is Increasingly com
mon. Why It should come at all is
not known.
Some patients who drink a lot of
fluids find 'hat an attack comes
on a few hours afterwards probably
because of the Increased accumula
tion of fluid in the labyrinth.
Several medical treatments, such
as the use of histamine or a tropin,
have met with some favor and surg
ery also hss ben tried with varying
degrees of success.
The Doctor Answer
Question: I have read that peach
leaves were beneficial and not a
tangle leaf should go to waste. What
are they good for?
Answer: I have never heard of
this before and haven't any Idea
what they might be good for.

Life Is Just a Game
Of Checkers to Bongo
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK ( Bongo cam
back th other night.
I hadn't seen him for a year.
Quickly I put my pillow over my
race and counted' "103486
7 9 10.- But when I looked
again he was still there, tilling th
doorway with his vsst bulk.
Bongo Is a phosphorescent gorilla
with searchlight eyes and teeth Ilk
translucent baseball bats. He wad
dled noiselessly over to the bed, sat
down on my knees and opened a
checker board.
One Ward
Play!" he commanded. It Is the
only word Bortfo knows.
Reluctantly I made the first move
and Bongo countered. Back and
forth the checkermen marched.
Dawn streamed through the win
dows Just as th alarm clock rang
and Bongo finished winning his 17th
straight game. He sneered and
ambled out of the room.
My wife awoke and saw ma shiv
ering and haggard -eyed.
"What's the matter with you?"
"I been playing checkers with
Bongo."
Oh. dear," said France, "you're
sick again. You've got a fever."
The thermometer showed she was
right.
Night Visitor
So for th next two dsys she
stoked me with orange Juice and
aspirin. Bongo stayed away during
the daytime, but each night he cam.
back.
It's a funny thing with him. When
other people I know fall sick, roses
and boxes of fruit and scores of
friends come to call on them. Sick
ness can be fun under those circum
stance: But when I get 111 the only
one I'm sure will come is dumb old
Bongo with his checkerboard.
He first came when I had the
measles as a child, and he's been
coming ever since. Nobody enjoys
my Ulner more than Bongo.
Skeptic
France frankly dorsnt believe
there I a Bongo at alL
"He I Just a mental guilt complex
or something you get when you dont
feel well." she said. But not even a
guilty complex could play checkers
aa lousy aa Bongo. Only a real ape
could be a ignorant a he is.
Bongo plays worse every year. He
also cheats. Whenever h thinks I
hav - him cornered, he turns his
searchlight eyas away and makes a
few sudden moves In th darkness.
When he turn hi cy back to th
board he a got me cornered.
When I told this to Frances, she
said:
"I certainly wouldn't play checkers
with a monkey that didn't observe
the rules. Don't you hsv. any
pnae7
rear
I do. Indeed but not when Im
alone with a gorilla. And I am
haunted by a fear that aom time
I'll mak a mistake and win
gam. I don't think Bongo, would
Ilk that. Once I had his last
checker surrounded by three kings,
and Bongo's fangs began to glow,
I manager to drop the game.
Well, last night Bongo was late
In arriving. It was almost morning
when he came over and squatted
on my bed. He spread open the
board and grunted. Play I
I looked at the board and aaw
in horror that he had brought
chess game Instead of checker. And
I could tell that he didn't know the
difference.
Alarm
Silently I slid my hand over and
turned back the alarm clock. It
shrilled. "Brrr . . . rrr . . . rrr. rrtng!"
Bongo flew Into a rage. He began
to growl and reached out to cuff
me. But Frances begsn to awaken
then and Bongo, with a final men
acing growl, folded hi game board
under his arm and stomped out of
the room.

Weather Winds Blow Good
And Bad for Businessmen
By 8AM DAWSON
NEW YORK. Dec. 10 u-Weather
end human nature Is a dollar-
and -cents headache today to many
businessmen, although a tonic to
others.
People lose money, and Jobs, when
the weather Is too cold, too mild,
too dry, too wet. And later on,
shoppers pay more, or get bargains,
for such things as coffee, lamb
chops, cotton goods, citrus, woolens,
fuel oil and chemical products.
' Unbalanced
So far this year the weather man
has given us too much or too little
somewhere in the world, of every
thing in his bag of tricks and
It's cost businessmen and consum
ers plenty.
A big blob of cold air has broken
loose from the Arctic and today Is
pushing as far south as Texas and
Florida, as far east as the Atlantic
coast. Already, there Is talk of fuel
oil prices firming In New York. And
Texas yesterday reversed a former
decision to cut oil production this
month and will let more come from
the wells.
Good For 8ome
The cold is good news to the win
ter resort people who last year lost
millions because little snow clung
to their ski runs.
The cold onslaught may be good
news this week-end to retail mer
chants, who have contended that
one reason store sales have run
about six per cent behind last year
was the warm weather this fall
slowing down buying for the winter.
It feels more like Christmas today
In many parts of the land.
If the cold brings heavy snowfall
with it, that can be top-flight good
news for city dwellers of the North
east whose water shortage systems
are cut to the critical point by
last summer's drouth. Just now
catching up. Th. New Jersey gov
ernor has declared a state of emer
gency In part of his stale. New
York City has ordered the men who
wash automobiles, railroad and tub
way cars to stop work.
Industry Threatened
Industries In the area mav feel
the water shortage, too. Chemical
plants, for example, are heavy users
of water as part of th. process of
production.
Drouth months ago In Brazil Is
blamed for the sharp rise In coffee
prices. Drouth threats have been
reported In sections of the winter
wheat belt in our Southwest, and in
parts of Csllfomls and the Middle
West,
Welcome rains fell in California
yesterday. Snow Is reported on th.
wsy to some sections of the mld-Wes
That may mean better growing con
dltlons next spring plenty of food
later on.
But good weather sometimes cost
money, too. Orowing conditions
were so good In the cotton belt last
summer that the cotton crop prob
ably will top 16 million bales
the news of that yesterday sent cot
ton future prices down on the ex
change. But It will also send more
bales Into government warehouses,
at taxpayers' expense.
Florida Freeze
Florida had an unusual freeze re
cently. Most of the bean crop was
lost and other vegetables damaged.
The fall hurricanes took heavy toll
of the Florida citrus crop and sent
prices up In your grocery.
The electric utility Industry Is In
the midst of Its great peak of de
mand, and the sector of the Indus
try that operates on water power
anxiously watches the reservoirs.
You are still paying In high
prices for lamb chops and for wool
for last year's terrific blizzard In
the far west which decimated th
sheep population. Railroads suffer
ed financial damage in th. sam.
storm.
Individuals get crossed up, too.
The mild fall cut down the consump
tion of coal for heating.

And usually reliable sources re

ing a groundswell of demand by th
small fry that mom help save water

TURNED-UP coat collars along th

derful that we dont have weather
Ilk w had at this tlru last year?
Every time w start griping till

to chwk back mentally to a year
ago. Then this pleasant. Indian
summr wsathtr (In comparison)
seems pretty good. Bo far 16 above
la th coldest It's been to dat.
QNg last word on th. Indian sltua
tlon, then I promts I'll shut up
until something li tangible hap.
pen to th situation. A you look
over th charge laid by th trlb.
and Utn to th. complaints you
get a sneaking Idea that hare are
a bunch of peopl In a pretty sad
way. And maybe ynur resentment
will turn against thoa who are nom
inally In charge of th Indian. It
would be only natural If It did. But
before you mak up your mind
that agent are a bunch of Simon
Legree and that clerks and other
personnel hav th heart of a Wall
Street bankr, atop and look over
th record and praclic of th In
dian affairs commission.
Under th duly drawn laws, n
ctd by your elected senators and
representatives, th Indian reserva
tions are governed by a set of laws,
rules and regulations. In each
reservation Is sn agent, whose duty
it Is to Interpret those rules, admin
ister those rulings and coordinate
the program laid down by congress.
Interpret, administer and coordinate
are three pretty good words, but
they don't encompass the whole sys
tem of running a peopl to th ex
tent of legislating where necessary.
Think bark nn your days In the
service, you vets, and remember the
counties times you figured you
could do a better Job of running
the army or navy than th brass
heavy boob above you was doing.
Yet you couldn't go to him and get
Instant satisfaction. Maybe If you
went to his superior and finally to
th top command for your area you
could get a ruling changed (or a
five day pass) and satisfaction In
some form.
Well your Indian agent I Just
sbout the tame as the adjutant at
a military post. He dor th work,
e that everything work out
vsnly, txplain th law and trie
to keep thing running smoothly.
But he doesn't make th laws, and
he I under oath, and bonded, to
stay within th limitation of that
law. So If you want something
changed, th agtnt Isn't th man
to se .unless It Is to arrang for
proper procedure The man you
want to see Is in Washington, or
mayb your local senator, or get
the people of your area behind you
and demand a change In the laws.
On any reservation you will have
trouble over money. In our local
case there have been charge of
extravagance. On th. other hand.
I have been given to understand
that certain r.hange were mad In
the financial handling of the stump
age Income that actually aaved
money for the tribe, even though
to some It might appear that a
larger appropriation had been asked
for. Maybe so, msybe not, anyway
the thing to do is to get to th bot
tom of the mslter. be sure that
everyone understands Just what Is
going on. then apply to Capitol Hill
If changes are needed and agreed on.
And that's enough of that. There
are two sides to everything, and
everyone not directly Involved should
stay in th. middle ana waicn nom
sides. When M the talking la done,
then draw your conclusions.

pose the Truman plan. Thoa Uuk

It wss estimated thla method wlU
rais around $3 million a year witn
which AMA ran fight th Truman

things.
Bm doctors hsv been criucal
of th AMA' fight sgalnat the pro

crats don't see eye to eye with hna
on all details of his program.
For example, only two daya ag

Buporters of Truman a plan and
those who on the other hand sup.
port th AMA "are In a deadlock be.
reus they are more Interested in
hitting at each other than find.
Ing a solution to th very real prob
