But it's not all bad at that. You
wake up pretty completely by the
time you finish knocking a quar

the deserted streets, trying to see
through the film on the windshield

the street lamps. There's something-
almost eerie about being the

the noise and bustle of even-day

The office Is a strange, dark
mysterious space when you come
in. During the night someone has
come in and rearranged all the

someone comes in and changes all

The great force of nature lovers

consideration to the out of doors

After all, this phase of resource

Ballot Again In Disguise
By HALE SCARBROUGH
The prohibitionists are . at it
again, trying to dry up Oregon.
Petitions are now being circu
lated over the state to put on the
November state ballot an initia
tive measure euphemistically and
misleadlngly titled: .
"Constitutional Amendment Re
lating to Alcoholic Liquor."
The relation is pretty strong. The
measure is a bone-dry proposal
which would prohibit the manufac
ture, importation and sale of liq
uor, including wine and beer, in
Oregon.
Undoubtedly the misleading title
was chosen for the ballot to de
lude some persons Into thinking the
proposal only In certain respects the
present Knox law under which Ore
gon liquor business Is conducted.
It Is, however, a prohibition
amendment, pure and simple
The Blitz-Welnhard Brewing Com
pany has started a court action to
fcei tne supreme uouri v force
Attorney General Oeorge Neuner
to change the ballot title so that
it will read:
"Amendment Prohibiting the
Manufacture, Importation or Sale
of Alcoholic Liquor."
This state's election laws regard
ing ballot titles are nrettv loose.
though, so if enough people (about

petitions, the prohibition amend

Ivovember in disguise.
Oregon has been a wet state
sinct 1S33, when national prohibi
tion was repealed and the people
of the state by a vote of 143,044
to 7J.74S repealed Oregon's consti
tutional prohibition amendment.
Since that time there have been
at Mast five attempts to make ba
to roll down the street. You get
another drink of water. Back to
Uie window. It's always the same.
But it's really not so bad after
you get used to it. Just like swim
ming in cold water. It's only the
initial plunge that hurts.
Winter or summer there is one
thing that stays constant here in
the basin. No matter what time of
the year or hour of the day you
walk past the First Presbyterian
church on the corner of Sixth and
Pine you hear a loud, cheerful
amount of chatter coming from
the sparrows hidden in the tower
ing vine that clambers up the bricx
front of the edifice. Somehow you
seldom see the birds. They siay
neatly holed up behind the leaves,
but you get the impression that
they are keeping a very close eye
on you as you pass and making
comments about you all the while.
Green grass Is beginning to show
up m a lew spots around town
where the snow ins melted off.
I see this only as a false sign
of spring and a thing not to be
trusted. We are in for plenty more
bad weather. Plenty! And. any
way. I'd rather be pessimistic and
pleasantly surprised than optimis
tic and disappointed. But I'll have
to admit that those two or three
days of comparatively mild weath
er felt good. Viva la Spring!

the recreational use of the Klam
ath Basin. At that time I discov
ered one million man days were
spent in outdoor recreation, in just
one year. Hunting and fishing were
just part of that total. Today, I
guess it would be doubled.
The state of Oregon makes much
over its vacation attraction: 100
million dollars thev say it brings
to the 'state. How much of this be
longs to the Klamath area? What
is the value of a million or two
man days s p e n t in the open
spaces?
We take outdoor recreation for
granted, like the rising sun. It's
basic value appears to be bevond
our comprehension. ,
This problem Is a bone of con
tention between engineers of the
oureau of. reclamation and conser
vationists. The bureau would like
to place, a dollar sign, on every
thing in nature, so it could bal
ance these values against potatoes
or gram or nydro power.
You can see the question coming
to a nead right now on Tule lake.
What i-. the value of ducks and
geese, shoreblrds. waders and all
the other life on the marsh lands?
Will this question be decided upon
merely by balancing the value of
farm crops against the money hunt
ers spend In the pursuit of a few
species oi waieriowi?
Our civilization is confused, cron.
ing; yet at the same time new
spiritual horizons are opening be-
lore us.
There is a growing national
awareness of the beauty of the
country: a tremendous Domilar an
ireclation of wild country and wild
life; and a growing desire to keeD
some of it for au time.
People are beginning to seek re
laxation that is only possible in wild
country. . .a budding national ap
preciation tor tne open lands.
Here. then, is an ODDOrtunity for
tne community to capitalize upon
the bounty of natural beauty that
nature has endowed upon It. Here
is a challenge to the community
to do something constructive, to
plan for its own resource destiny.'
(That was Ken McLeod talking.
You must have gathered by now
that he thinks there are more
ways of getting good out of our
natural resources man oy consum
ing them. Amen.)
Aimed at
sic changes In the liquor setuD bv
way of the general ballot. Only one
(in 1944, giving the state alone the
right to. sell beverages containing
over 14 per cent alcohol) has been
approved. A good many other at
tacks on the Oregon liquor law,
either to liberalize it or make it
tighter, have died natural deaths
in the Legislature or have failed
to make the ballot.
In 1938, 1940, 1948 and 1950 the
voters bv big margins refused to
make changes in the existing liq
uor law.
They probably will do to again
in 195?.
Down through the years the liq
uor situation has. long been a
rather steady Item on state bal
lots, along with the sales tax and
the cigaret tax neither of which
has ever been approved by . the
people. They've received Legisla
tive approval, but through the In
itiative and referendum the people
hold the power, and the cigaret
tax and sales tax have consistent
ly been voted down.
The cigaret tax will come up on
the state ballot again next Novem
ber. The last Legislature passed a
three-cent per package tax. tleing
it in with a . fair-trade law that
would add another two cento to
the price of a package of smokes,

and she says the cutest, strangest.-
most boring things.
Ihe stork didnt bring her. It
took two strong men to deliver this
baby. They set her up on her feet,
grunted, gave her a look of deep
dislike, and departed.
But we loved her on sight from
her shiny glass forehead to the six
little knobs in her tummy.
Yes, after all these years, we
have become the proud parents of
a television set. She is blonde like
my wife, Frances. Because of the
17-lnch eye in her forehead we Im
mediately christened her "Little
Miss Cyclops."
Frances said she took Miss Cy
clops on the spur of the moment.
She went into a music shoo to buy
a phonograph record and the sales
man asked her if she was interest
ed In a television set.
"Why. yes, " she said. Just to be
polite. Whereupon the salesman
threw himself ou the floor, put his
arms around her ankles, broke Into
tears and began to mumble hys
terically "At last! At last!"
"After that I felt I Just had to
buy a set." said Frances. "So we
brushed the cobwebs off the near
est one, and I told him, 'wrap 'er
up. son."'
She brushed off his grateful of
fer to throw in a free grand piano,
two harmonicas and a week's visit
to Brooklyn.
For the formal debut of Miss Cy
clops we invited in three trusted
friends. After dinner we adjourned
to our new nursery.
The big moment was at hand!
What would be our baby's first
words? That is an anxious time
for any proud parent of a tele
vision set. I know one man who
lost face permanently because his
set didn't say anything.
It Just burst into wild, maniacal
laughter "Ha. ha. ha. ha. ha, ha!"
It was still laughing when he sent
it back to the store.
Nervously. I toved with the
knobs. A light came into my baby's
Mobilization Threat Came

WASHINGTON W The United

entirely of the automobile and all

ages of things people buy, infla

The decision was In doubt until
around Christmas. Then President
Truman decided to take a calcu

strike real soon and spread the
expanded defease program over.

Now, officials say, we'll have
butter with the guns throughout
unless new fighting breaks out.
Before Mr. Truman made up his
mind the military had been allotted
much of the nation's strategic ma
terials. Now It is giving some of it
Dack .to industry. .
Under the program Mr, Truman

throughout 1952, arriving at a peak
of slightly more than four billion

were shortoges. A Senate commit
tee also conducting an Investiga
tion was told recently the Texas
discrepancies might hit lour mil
lion dollars.
A House appropriations subcom
mittee, headed by Rep. Martin,
D-Mlsx., released Its report Sun
day, together with a transcript of
closed hearings. .It aaid staff In
vestigators found Texas elevators
and warehouses short 629,305 bush
els of wheat and 84,488.500 pounds
of grain they were supposed to

fixed at 13,820.000.
It also reported that at least 20
employes- In the Agriculture De

tuities from firms with which they
were doing grain storage business.
Listed gifts ranged from help in
getting a car at discount to a med

varied from dismissal to letters of

The subcommittee criticized the
Commodity Credit Corporation, the
Agriculture Department Agency
which handles grain storage. It
paid the CCO had failed to check
facilities for storing the grain and
had paid big; sums to prlvnte
