SUBSCRIPTION RATES By Mall -1 ' I months I8.50 By MaU 'year UJ0 n,l Ry DEB ADDISON The Build the Basin program on Industrial development Monday night was- excellent. It didn't put any additional plants on Klamath cites nor did it tell the community Just exactly what to do to achieve that end. That's not the purpose of these programs. The purpose, as moderator Bud f Chandler stated, Is exploratory. The purpose is to arm the indi viduals, who have the interest to listen in, with some down to earth tacts on the subjects discussed. Further, It has the purpose of bringing to light all possible In formation that "ain't so," and put ting it in its proper place as mis information. The Monday night program had a good panel. These men generally were hard headed and well in formed. They came through with the answers as best they could without undue harangue or beating around the bush. Briefly, here are some Impres sions that we listeners probably will retain.- Industrial development can be cumulated by a community hav ing a large. Immediate consumers market. We don't have that; so let's write it off and forget it. Industrial growth can be stimu lated by a community having im mediately accessable Taw mater ials, plus conditions favorable for processing these raw materials into usable products, plus having economical and adequate transpor tation facilities to large consumer markets. These we have, within some limitations, so we can expect further industrial development along the lines we now have. Another kind of industrial de velopment can come in the dis tributive lines. This depends on geographical location, plus trans portation facilities. One of the pan el members, George Davis, who probably is best informed on dis tribution and transportation of any man in these parts, made a flat statement. He said that distribution to the entire Pacific coast can be made ' more economically from Klamath Falls than from any other point. He further pointed out that there is no natural limitation to growth of distributive business, such as from availability of natural re sources. We can expect further growth along these lines. 'It was Dick Henzel, the farmer en the panel, who pointed out that two thirds of Klamath county is federally owned. All taxes have to be raised from the remaining one For a nation as rich as we are In inventive genius and for one which has wrought vast changes through the years in the mother tongue, English, it does seem odd that no one can dream up a couple of new words to identify, generi cally, the married woman and her t sister, the unmarried one. A large body of females would be very happy indeed if It be came possible to discard or at least put in mothballs such meth ods of identification as"'housewife" "spinster" or "bachelor girL" Actually, there's nothing the mat ter with 'housewife," except that it has such a dreary, dull con notation. You can argue all you want that keeping a home and fam ily together is woman's proudest occupation, -but you'll still find ' women, on occasions when they must identify themselves occupation-wise, muttering apologetically, "Oh, I'm Just a housewife." Husbands, even when they are stay-at-homes, never lie themselves into the house in that way. They always say "clerk," "lawyer." or "mechanic," and there are always those wonderful evasions of "re tired," "philatelist," horticultur ist,' or "ship-model-maker," if a man has only a hobby to depend on. The antl- "housewife" contingent have tried to do something with the word "home-maker" which Is all right, but lacks softness and cosiness, evoking images of a trained, crisp professional who runs a household in a rather executive fashion. "Bachelor girl" is a good at tempt to Identify the young, un married woman, but It certainly has a bit of free-wheeling air about it and sounds a little too inde pendent. "Spinster," alas, started out as a good, one-word mate for 'bach elor." But it's been ruined by pop .Mar usage, and now it's an un pleasant word. When you call an unmarried woman a spinster, boy, smile. It means to most of us an over-age, sharp-featured, sharp ' tongued female meanie. . The word "bachelor," however, has come through the years un scathed. It still means only one thing: an unmarried male (al though the dictionary avers that its fourth of fifth meaning is "the crappie or calico bass" which prob ably is a species of fish). You can . do all sorts of things with a word like bachelor there are persnic kety, fussy old ones, gay ones and eligible ones. But when you say spinster, the picture Is already drawn. Obviously, a new synonym is In order.

I BILL JENKINS Managing Editor third. We need industrial develop ment to help pay the taxes. The Weyerhaeuser hardboard plant -was not mentioned in this panel discussion, but when that plant Is completed, Weyerhaeuser will ante in on taxes that much more. Another Dossibilitv of greatly add' ing to the tax rolls Is in the pro posal of the California Oregon Pow er company for a $60 million hydro electric expansion in the Klamath canyon. A $60 million plant expansion program Is industrial development with a capital u. It was Farmer Kernel again who put his finger on the real point of controversy over Copco's filing for the start of this development. The Klamath Indians have the first of all r Urht to the water that flows through their lands, based on the treaty that was ratified in the 60s. The 200.000 acres of land within the present Klamath Reclamation project have next right to the wa ter, based on the reclamation act of 1905. Copco proposes to get the next right to the water, what's avail able after use by the Indians and the 200.000 acres is satisfied. (Cop co s present contract expires in IS years.) The amount of water filed for by Copco is not Important. The proposal was for a plant that would be capable of handling a maximum of 2500 second feet. The operation would be to hold back water tor 12 hours and then run the accumulation plus the stream flow through two turbines for 12 hours. This is what Copco is doing farther down the river now. What Is Important, and this was Kernel's point, is who comes next after the Indians and the 200,000 acres? Copco said that it should come next (it is next now); that its de velopment would be more impor tant to Klamath than other possible water use on the land. Henzel estimated that another 25.000 acres of Klamath county land could be irrigated to advan tage. He suggested that the power company's filing could be amended to give it the right to use water after this additional use for irri gation. u an agreement could be reached on some such compromise it would give us important industrial de velopment. More tmnortant. It wouid tie down our water rights for use here at home. '' ' " T..i-'.A. ': than I have, writes to sav she had a suggestion for a replace ment: oacnei. RESEARCH I did a little research and find that the only previous use of the word "bachel" is for a Greek measure a weight in the neigh borhood of a bushel. Personally, I think it has a pretty sound and might do. I suggest, however, that she put a little extra feminine touch to the spelling: bachelle. Developing new words in this manner obviously Is a matter for considerable debate and discus sion. As a matter of fact. I am seriously considering launching a contest for two new words to re place "housewife" and "spinster" (or "bachelor girl"). To the winner of the first. I will sward one slightly used subpoena for Jury service (petit, not grand). The winner of the spinster contest will receive an introduction to a fussy, ineligible bachelor. At a later date, we will get on with the campaign against calling any woman who goes to business a 'career girl." In fact, we may even campaign against calling any woman up to age 60, a girl ' or worse, a "gal." K-OneBomb Sight Shown WARHTWr.TAW tn TO,. tw...

WASHTNOON Wl Several mil lion self-employed people for the first time will pay a Social Security tax when, before midnight of March 15. they fUe their 19S1 in come tax return. When they file that return they must pay their Social Security tax. plus any income tx they owe. Their Social Security tax Is based on their net earnings total income minus business deductions from self-employment. They use two forms in making their return: 1. On a separate form. Schedule C. starting on line 25, they answer questions about their self employ ment Income to find their Social Security tax. 2. Then on Form 1040 page 1. line 5 under (A) they say what their 1951 income tax is and under (B) they show their Social Secur ity tax. They add the two together and pay what's owed. Millions of self-employed people, but not all. came under Social Security coverage Jan. 1, 1951. as a result of a change in the law bv Congress late in 1950 to include more people. All though 1951 wage-earners were paying a Social Security tax on the first $3,600 of their nav. It was regularly withheld from their wages. The self-employed people didn't have to pay any Social Se curity tax last year. .now, xnougn, the self-employed must pay in a lump sum whatever Social Security tax they owe for ail 12 months of 1951. The tax on them Is 2 "t per cent on the first $3,600 of their net income. But no one has to nav Social Security tax on less than $400 of self-employed income. So wage-earners and self-em ployed both pay the Social Secur ity tax on their first $3,600. But during 1951 some people were self employed only part of the time. The rest of the time they earned wages from which the Social Se curity tax was withheld. What do they do now? If, as wage-earners, they got $3,600 in pay from which Social Security tax WASHINGTON I Wilbur Feeble, the average American citi zen, took a few days off to see for himself what really is going on in this home base of Democracy. He tells his first Impressions of the nation's capital In the following letter to his wife: Dear Trellis Mae, Well, honey, here I am In the arsenal of politics. You can quit worrying right now about us being caught unprepared by another big war. The first thing I noticed was that the Pentagon has an annex. That proves we must be ready for any emergency. There is a heartening air of vir tue about Washington right now. Billy Graham, the handsome young evangelist, is sternly at tacking sin at one end of the city, and Congress Is giving it hell at the other end. No evil-doing can stand up under this kind of cross-fire, and if there is any corruption left here it must have gone underground. They say that even the "five percenters" are so ashamed of themselves they have reduced their rates to four-and-one-half per cent. I promised to give you the low down the inside straight on what is going on here. But the hardest thing to pin down here Is a fact. Pacts whisper in Washington, ru mors shout. All anybody seems to know for sure is what he overhears. My Idea of Washington right now is a bunch of people standing in a circle with their hands to their ears, each trying to hear what the next fellow is whispering. The trouble is nobody seems to really know any thing. The biggest whisper factories are the cocktail parties, just like back home. I went to one party. Here Is a remark I overheard and you can take it for what it is worth: Wake Up To More Comfort Without Nagging Backache Nee si tig backache, lota of pepandenenry, headaches and dizzineti may be due to alow down of kidney function. Doctor aay good kidney function la very important to ffood health. When some everyday condition, such a atrest and atraln, causes this important function toalow down, many folkaflufrernatc iririff backache feel fninerable. Minor blad der irritations due to cold or wrong diet may cause getting up nights or frequent pannages. Don't neglect your kidneys if these eondU tlons bother you. Try Doan's Pilh a mild diuretic.

Get Doan's Pills today! Time -..in.' was withheld, they're paid up for the year as wage-earners and don't owe any tax for the Income earned while self-employed, no matter what their self-employed Income was. But then come split problems. Jones earned $3,000 in wages and $5,000 from self-employment. What does he do? Since no one pays the tax on more than the first $3,t00 ot his income. Jones subtracts his $3,000 in wages from $3,600 in self-employed incomes, and finds he still owes Social Security tax on $1,600 of self-employed Income. So he pays il ' per cent tax on $1,600. But, since there's no Social Se curity tax on less than $400 of self employed Income, a case like this might arise: Smith had $3,300 in wages, from $300 in self-employed Income, giv ing him a total income of $3,500. Since his self-employed Income was less than $400, he pays no tax on that $300. In his case, therefore, his Social Security tax for 1951 was limited to the tax withheld from his $3,300 in wages. But when Congress broadened the Social Security Law. it still ex cluded some people from its cov erage. The following are not covered by the law and so do not have to pay a Social Security tax: Public officials, railroad work ers, ministers and priests, doctors, lawyers, osteopaths, dentists, vet erinarians, chiropractors, naturo aths, otometrists, Christian Sci ence practitioners, architects, cer tified public accountants, account ants registered or licensed as ac countants under state or city laws, full-time practicing public account ants, funeral directors and profes sional engineers. Unless you're a real estate brok er you can't include in your net earnings, for the purpose of the self-employment tax. any rentals you receive from real estate. Nor can you Include income derived from the business of farming. And. unless you're a dealer In securities, you can not Include in terest and dividends from securi ties as self-employed income. "President Truman ha nnslttve. ly decided to run again. He fig ured that' he couldn't swing the nomination to Gov. Stevenson of Illinois or anybody else but him- self. Besides, he feels Talt will get the Republican nomination, and he thinks he can beat Taft." The rest of the conversation at the party was mostly gossip about what government official would be thrown out next. That is the most popular guessing game In the cap ital: "Who's on his way out?" I told one fellow at the party that kind of gossip was heartless, and he said: "No. You see, everybody In this town is always on his way out. It's just a matter of when. They used to let a guy warm his seat for a month or two before they started screaming he was incompetent or subversive. But now they start talk ing about throwing him out before he even arrives to take over bis office." . Then this man asked me If I was looking for a post. When 1 started shuddering, he said: "Well, If you ever do, I'll give you a tip. The only sure way to get a job in Washington Is to an nounce you don't want it, and that you double-dog-dare the Senate to confirm you If you are appointed. Well, you know senators. They never take a dare." Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you a wave of dieting Is sweeping the capital. Everybody is climbing on a diet or just falling off one. A government employe I met at lunch explained why: "It's election year," he said, "and we don't want people saying we are living off the fat of the land."

"The opponents said it was not legal to put down every card from the hand. They said that If she melded all the cards in her hand she would be out. because the cards in the discard pile cannot be considered In her hand. However, she was not allowed to meld out without a canasta. "My partner and I maintain that when slje uses the top card of the discard pile the rest of the sards in that pile automatically become part of her hand. The play was perfectly legal and proper. You are allowed to put down all eleven of your cards In order to obtain the discard pile.

STUDIO 1125 Main Ph. 2-2791 1 : T Per Pound h As mors unci more people live Into late mlddlo years and old age, a condition known as angina pectoris becomes mora common. The meaning of this mrillrnl term la simply pain In th chest, but It la caused by an liisufflulent amount of blood flowing to the heart muscle, usually as a renult of hardening ot tha arteries. These blood vessels ale called the cor onary arteries. When the passageway through these arteries has been anrlounly narrowed and not enough blood passes through them, the needs of the heart muscle are not satNlled mid it Is this blood lack which causes pain. The pain Is usually absent when the patient is resting. It Is likely to be noticed the first time when the heart is pumping rapidly as happens when exercising (climbing stairs or running for the bus, for example). During such periods of extra work, the heart needs larger quan tities of blood than it does when at rest. A person who has angina pectoris must, therefore, learn how much exercise can be taken with out producing symptoms. Besides the puln, the symptoms often Include a feeling of anxiety, shortness of breath, and cold clam my sweating. Many patients with angina, when they learn how to live with their hearts, have little or no discom fort and are not cut oft from most of life's pleasures. Indeed, the outlook for patients with angina is not so unfavorable as was formerly believed. Some live lor more than tfrnly-flvo years after the onset of their first symptoms, and the average) Is probably between eight nnd ten years. In addition to the better out look which is now recognized, the management ol angina pectoris has also Improved. The amount and nature of exercise which enn be tolerated can be more closely calculated. Also, there are several drugs, which when given properly, usu ally help the victim of angina even though drugs do not cure the un derlying cause which lies lu the coronary arteries. The symptoms of angina cer tainly cannot be Ignored, but when they do develop, It does not mean that llle is almost over nr that all pleasures are done with for ever. A sensible but hopeful atti tude Is Indicated. By JEAN OWENS Everything seems to be almost back to normal this week.
