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 CHOKED ..ri GAS? THANKHSAVKNS I Moit attaoki are Jutt acid Indijeitlon.

BILL JENKINS Managing Editor 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.

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.

So, while the Allied poKbn has improved somewhat in tin areas just mentioned, it is a lot way from a happy ending. At thfcamc time the picture has dnrkcVd in other areas. This country has made It lear we believe the greatest dang- to the free world is a Russian ack in Western Europe and stoung them, or discouraging them fcm starting, is our No. 1 Job. It's just possible the Russtqs don't consider an attack on We em Europe their No. 1 Job, pu ticularly if they can nibble awt at the perimeters and inflict ureat defeat on the West withou! a headon attack on the West ii 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.
