In case the members of the
Nature Society are perplexed as
to why their bird count tallied up
fewer birds than in any of the
past three years, we'll let 'em in
on the reason. .
It came about through the nos
talgia 01 former Klamathiies
next door neighbors of ours in the
prewar days the Denny Rees
family.
Dr. Rees was a Klamath Falls
dentist (and reserve oificer) then.
He went back in the service be
fore Pearl Harbor, was stationed
in Manila, endured the Death
March, and spent most of the war
years at Cabanatuan prison, being
released in that first daring sortie
of the Rangers but that's another
ttory.
The Rees family lives at Oswego
now, and Denny is a Portland
orthodontist. He used to come back
to Klamath to straighten your and
riiy kids teeth, but now s-iends all
his time up there.
Anyway, Lakeshore Drive and
the west side of Klamath Lake is
the habitat of more kinds of birds
than you'll find most anywhere.
SO it's easy to see how the Rees
family became acquainted with
birds and how come the birds
have moved to Oswego with them.
-The story was told on the Ore
gonian editorial page the other
day. We'll quote that ; editorial
from, here on:
Shortly before Christmas: the
Junior Gardeners, . sponsored by
the Lake Grove Garden Club, dec
orated - two trees at the home of
Dr. and Mrs. D. J. Rees. These
were not the usual Christmas trees
indoors where it was warm, nor
even lighted outdoor Christmas
trees. These-were for the birds.
The children brought orange ber
ries,, pine cones stuffed with suet,
shells filled with peanut butter.
. General Eisenhower's Paris polit
ical statement means this Is not
to be 1348 all over again. This
time he is definitely available as
a presidential candidate and open
ly welcomes the efforts of his sup
porters to bring about his nomina
tion next July.
Furthermore, he has at last es
tablished publicly that he is a Re
publican by conviction and voting
record.
: Thus it is immediately clear he
will not withdraw his name from
the New Hampshire primary, first
in the nation, when it is entered
by Senator Lodge and his other
campaign managers. Nor, presum
ably will he block any other pri
mary activities initiated in his be
half. This much is on the positive side.
Negatively, however, he has made
it equally evident that he will not
ask to be relieved of his NATO
command to seek the nomination,
and will not take part in any pre
convention activities.
He is insistent upon sticking at
his present Job in the absence of
a "clear-cut call to political duty."
Vet this does not mean he holds
himself aloof from politics.
The tenor of his statement shows
that he feels so deeD an allegiance
to present responsibilities that no
half-hearted command from people
and party could tear him away.
Nor does it mean he demands
that he be truly "drafted." The
mere act of endorsing tlje cam
paign eforts of his backers, wipes
School Homework Is The
. Bane Of Most All Parents
; By-ARTHUR EDSO.V
(For Hal Boyle)
WASHINGTON Wl If the so
ciety for the protection of parents
from school homework will please
come to order, your president will
get on with his report.
Frankly, the situation is not good.
All over the country parents are
tottering under the burden of writ
ing essays on the robin or trying
to solve obscure arithmetic prob
lems. The U.S. office of Education has
no' statistics on how many hours
parents spend each year on their
children's homework.
But a fellow I talked to there
a1d he had a pretty good idea.
"Plenty," he said.
I realized I had a potential mem
ber of our society.
"What is your hardest subject?"
I asked sympathetically.
"Mine's mathematics," I said.
Actually, the real evil behind do
ing homework for children often
has been overlooked. '
Moralists have attacked it on the
grounds that a child should do his
own homework, and not palm it
off on his parents.
That may be true. But I suspect
the argument often is used by peo
ple who can't do the homework,
and therefore hide behind their
morality.
I think a more honest approach
is this: To do a child's homework
tears down the final shred of respect-
for his parents' ability.
By the time a youngsters Is a
year and half old, he has begun to
think for himself. If he's smart at
all and they all seem smart now
adayshe has us parents pretty
well sized up an frauds who rarely
have the courage to carry out the
threats we make.
In a few fields, however, the par
, ents linger on as something of an
authority. True, as the father of

doughnuts and apple slices, and
they loaded the two five and six
foot trees that stood on the ter
race. The children had hardly left
beiore the birds came. Never
again will the Rees family be
without bird trees, Mrs, Rees re
ported for her family. It wasn't
long, beiore ,t.:e birds ate up all
the edible decorations, and since
then members of the family have
replenished the food. They plan to
keep on doing so all through the
cold winter months.
Another family . took their
stripped Christmas tree outdoors
and turned it into a bird tree by
putting melted fat and scraps on
it. Others use the trees and shrubs
already growing in their yards to
serve as bird dining rooms. One
woman who attracts birds by the
hundreds to her yard finds this
recipe the most popular piece de
resistance. She moistens two or
three loaves of stale bread with
warm water and drains them. To
these she adds two or three, cups
of warm bacon drippings or
kitchen fat, leftover bits of honey
and molasses, then stirs in four
cups of baby chick scratch feed
she buys especially, and two or
three cups of rolled oats. This she
puts on limbs and in crotches of
trees and the juncoes come quick
est of all. Suet is the favorite food
on winter days of the woodpeckers
and bush tits, and we Dlue jays
like it too. It can be put in snecial
suet feeders, or in holes in the
trees.
Feeding the birds saves them
from almost sure starvation when
snow covers their natural sources
of food. Decorating a bird tree
near a window where a shut-in can
see it will bring hours of fascin
ated pleasure not alone to the
birds. Feeding the birds is one
way to unlock a key to content
ment. away any notion that we are here
being asked to draft Eisenhower
for the presidency. ,
A draft assumes neither approv
al of nor participation in cam
paign ctivities.
To ask that a call to dutv be
clear-cut is something else. It
seems a fair request from a man
who occupies such a key position
in the Western, defense structure.
The general Is reluctant to aban
don this vital post to chase a po
litical -will o' the wisp.
What would constitute a clear
call only Eisenhower can define.
Public opinion polls long have
shown bim the most popular choice
for the presidency.
But other polls indicate Senator
Taft- is the great favorite of the
established . Republican organi
zation. A realist, Eisenhower undoubted
ly does not believe this amounts
to an unmistakable demand for
bis political services.
Possibly- only a strong snowing
in several key primaries would
turn the trick. To a skeptic on
polls, popular sentiment expressed
m primaries might be more con
vincing. And such evidence, if suf
ficiently dramatic, might win over
substanial elements of the GOP
organization now wedded to Taft.
Certainly the burden is now
heavily upon Eisenhower's support
ers to use the primaries or any
other means to convert his present
availability into an active candi
dacy.
four girls, I have to skulk around
the fringes of most conversations
at our house.
My opinions are worthless on
such subjects as A. How much lip
stick should a 14-year-old wear?
B. How long should a girl's hair
be? and C. Are blond bovs cuter
than dark haired boys? My girls
say blond boys. I'm dark haired
myself.
But in one field I always held
my own. If a youngster came In
with a school nroblem. Mrs. V.
would say sweetly,- "Take it to
your lamer, aear. He knows ev
erything." It was simple, for a time. But
this year the 14-year old entered
high school and I had to work out
various stalls for time.
Such as: "This is something you
should learn for yourself. Look it
up in the encyclopedia so that next
time you'll be sure to know It."
Last week the inevitable blow
fell. My daughter came in with:
"Plane A start? from airport S
at 8 a.m. flying 150 m.p.h. At 9:30
a.m., plane B starts after A on
the same track flying 250 m.p.h.
How long will it take B to overtake
A?"
"Looks simple," I said, lying
hopefully.
Well, I wrestled that problem
until algebraic equations covered
the living room floor. I mentally
flew plane A from airport S, and
then hurried back, and took off in
plane B, until I was airsick.
Finally, hours overdue and given
Up for lost, I checked in with the
answer. Well, anyway, an answer.
It was too late. Everyone knew
by then that I didn't know any
more algebra than a goat.

WASHINGTON W Behind
closed doors Secretary of State
Achesoii told the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee Die position
of the free world is somewhat bel
ter than it was a year ago.
So far as it goes, that's right.
It doesn't go far enough. President
Truman, in his message to Con
gress, gave the rounded picture
when he said this is a "crucial
year."
A year ago the Chinese Com
munists had us in such bad shape
there was talk we might abandon
Korea. Now we have them in a
position where they're talking
truce. That's some improvement.
Last year when Atlantic Pact
troops in Europe were in skeleton
shape, there was some fear the
Russians might attack before
spring. Now the number of Atlan
tic Pact divisions is larger.
Last year at this time defense
production was far worse off than
now. Defense Mobilizer Wilson says
that in the past year "we have come
a long way along the road toward
a mighty America.
Whiles Acheson talked to the
Senate's Foreign Relations Com
mittee, Gen. Omar Bradley, head
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was
talking to its Armed Services Com
mittee behind closed doors.
Later Chairman Russell, Georgia
Democrat, told reporters Bradley
said the Joint Chiefs have military
plans ready if the truce talks with
the Chinese fail. This might indi
cate we could whip the Chinese
if we tried.
But Senator Morse, Oregon Re
publican and a member ot Rus
sell's committee which heard Brad
ley, also spoke to reporters and he
said:
"When we talk about holding a
line in Korea because we are not
in a posture to conduct an often-'
sive, we had better begin to give
the boys what they need."
That would seem to indicate we
are not any more anxious lor a
Auto Inspection Urged By
Newbry In Attempt To Cut
Down Rising
By PAUL W. HARVEY, JR.
SALEM on Last year's record
number of automobile accidents in
Oregon has convinced state offi
cials something will have to be
done about it.
It proves that the three E's
engineering, enforcement and edu
cationaren't being carried out.
That means the alarming toll can
be reduced only by better roads,
more police officers and education
of drivers.
In 1951 there were 440 persons
killed on Oregon highways and
streets. That wasn't a record, be
ing 42 fewer than the all-time high
in 1946. It was the second largest
total, though.
There were 80.000 accidents,
which was a record. And the num
ber of persons injured, 13,500, also
was a new high mark.
Now Secretary of State Earl T.
Newbry, who administers the
State's motor vehicle laws, comes
out for compulsory inspection of
motor vehicles as a starter in try
ing to reduce the accident toll.
The plan which Newbry will sub
mit to the Legislature provides lor
annual or semi-annual inspections
of brakes, lights, tires, wheel align
ments, and electrical systems of
every car and truck registered in
the state.
The inspection would be made In
garages and service stations which
are approved by his office. Each
inspection would cost 50 or 75
cents.
Fourteen states have compulsory
inspection, and they claim to have
reduced their automobile fatalities
15 per cent below the national
average. These states are In the
East and South, except for Utah,
Colorado and New Mexico.
Washington State has a compul
sory Inspection law, but It's a dead
letter because . the Legislature
hasn't appropriated money for it
in the past two sessions.

And, Morse said. Wense pro

hardly enough to stop e Rus

from a happy ending. At thfcamc
time the picture has dnrkcVd in
other areas.

It's just possible the Russtqs

the West, .
In this past year our strongest,,,, busy In winter on foothill oaks
llv. Britain, has sulfered tre
mendous setbacks in Iron and
Egypt, both part of the Middle
East which is vital to the West.
And while we haggle about a
truce with the Chinese Communists
in Korea, reports flow from the
Far East about a buildup of Com
munist forces for an invasion of
Indochina where another Western
ally, France, has been fighting oif
Communist guerrillas for five
years.
The struggle In Indochina has
drained France of men and money.
If an invasion starts there we'll
have to help with troops which
would weaken us elsewhere or
help with planes and ships.
Car Deaths
How many accidents are caused
by faulty equipment? The answer
is questionable.
The National Safety Council says
13 per cent of all accidents are
caused by bad equtpmcnt.
Newbry's traffic safety division,
which checks every Oregon acci
dent report, fixes the slate figure
at 4 per cent. It adds, however,
that 8 per cent of the automobile
deaths can be charged to faulty
equipment.
The Insurance companies, pla
gued by many claims and high
costs of repairing cars, are enthus
iastic about compulsory Inspection.
Thev think it also Is a factor in
safety education. A man who has
had his car inspected might be
come a little conscious of the Im
portance of careful driving.
The City of Portland had com
pulsory inspection for a few years.
It was done by city employes, and
was abandoned because oi lack of
facilities.
Newbry's plan would overcome
that objection because It would be
done In thousands ot garages and
service stations. Also, It wouldn't
require much of a legislative ap
propriation. Newbry's traffic safety division
says that in the first half of 1951,
there were 35,000 accidents in the
state, and 1,338 of them could be
traced to faulty equipment.
Of this latter number, 173 were
caused by defective brakes.
Thirteen deaths in that period
were caused by the poor equip
ment, including 5 by puncture or
blow-out, 2 by bad brakes, 2 by
poor lights, 1 by steering wheel
defect, and 3 by other causes.
Total farm output In 1951 has
been estimated at 43 per cent
pbove the 1935-39 averane and
nearly 4 per cent above 1950.

Pacific Coast valleys have a bird
so brownish, smaller kiddles mis
take it for a spnrrow. It Hashes
a bit of yellow, however, particu
larly in flight. Older children quick
ly notice its bill is not a seed

long, pointed bill of an insect-eater.
This bird is a warbler. It was
named lor America's foremost or
nithologist, Audubon, lor whom
scores of bird societies are chris
tened. Study your winter's Audubon
warbler carefully, then watch lor
him on next summer's high moun

of gold and blue-gray, you would
hardly recognize the brownish bird
of midwinter. He keeps next De
