' Spring seema to have a number
Of wonders.
At least our authors are always
talking about them. Gilding the
lily. Making much -of little.
Prom Omar Khayam down to
the present we have been taught
that spring Is a time of wonder
and beauty. Girls dancing around
May poles or flitting across daisy
tludded meadows.
Take a more practical look.
Sarins this year is eoing to be
the Ineffable delight of gelling up
in the morning, cnmoing in your
car and driving off without having
to spend the first five minutes
scraping ice off the windshield.
And then stopping half way to
work and doing it all over again
Everyone says that Americans
take too much for granted. That
we're lazy, lackadaisical people
who Just don't give a hoot about
anytning out mating money.
Could be rleht.
1 How many of you can tell, for
instance:
Who was the last military man
to hold the office of president of
the United States?
On what day did World War Two
end?
When was the first Harry Bridges
trial?
What is the current standing In
the case?
What is the population of the
united Slates?
In what year was the Boston
tea party?
v What is the national debt?
How many wars has this country

When did the Korean war start?
How many representatives in
congress?
How is It possible to make a
living after taxes?

above questions you are better in

very few will have the energy or
the time to look up the answers

Drove down Main Street the oth
er day for the first time in several
months. There seems to have been
a noticeable improvement in the
traffic. People were staying in
their proper lane, speeding up
traffic in general and doing an
all-around good Job 01 it.
Good!
Must try it again sometime.
Every so often we read a story
of some workman blowing himself
to bits whue hammering on a war
time mine in a scrap1 heap.
Wonder if the atom bomb, in fu
ture years, will pose this menace?
Will there be duds left lying around
to pester us?
Several days ago it was an
nounced that there would be much
more strict enforcement of the law
against selling cigarets to minors.
This touches off a chain of
thoughts.
Why is it that a boy of eighteen
is considered by our government
to De plenty old enougn to be sent
over to Korea and have large
bloody boles blown in him, but is
not considered old enough to buy
a pack of coffin nails?
Inconsistent isn't it?
Seems like youth nowadays can
have ail tne responsibilities oi ma
turity but none of the advantages
Just as inconsistent as the the
ories of a certain group of sancti
monious, Diue-nosea do-gooders
who say they would rather let a
soldier die of thirst in Korea or
any other battlefield rather than
see mm given a can of cold beer.
Td say this country still has a
lot to learn.

The Build the Basin, forum Mon
day was aimed at backgrounding
and establishing facts on the vital
question of how best to build the
Basin with our great water re
sources. It brought out much interesting
background and many pertinent
facts. It brought out one all-im
portant fact which was needed to
form, any opinion on immediate
courses of action.
As has been stated many times
before, development from water
must be along agricultural, indus
trial and electrical power lines.
Power, of course, is a part of both
agricultural and industrial develop
ment. ' The scrambling on water use has
been touched oft by the demands
for Klamath water for California
and, more Immediately, by the fil
ing of the California Oregon Power
Company for another generating
plant down the canyon.
A public hearing on the filing
brought objections first from the
Reclamation Bureau, on grounds
that it would interfere with its
plana for development, and then
from various irrigation districts
which aren't sure of their prior
water rights.
The continuing discussions have
brought out the objection that there
Isn't enough water for both agri
culture and power.
Now, the all -important fact
brought out by the forum is that
the Reclamation Bureau's objection
came from wanting to generate
power itself. i
The day of the forum, A. N. Mur
ray, regional planning engineer
from Sacramento, announced the
Bureau's intention of hydroelectric
development between Keno and
Copco Lake.
On the forum, John Boyle, Cop
to general manager, stated that, as
far as he knew, the Bureau wanted
to do exactly what Copco had been
planning on and trying to get the
right to do for 20 years, using the
same amount of water in about
the same places. . . .the same
amount of water that Copco's us
ing now.
Mr. Murray, sitting alongside,
took no exception to this statement,
and only seconded Boyle's state
ment that It was just a question
of whether Copco or the Bureau did
it.
So the big discussion on water
use is Tesolved down to common
accord by both Bureau and Copco
engineers:
That use of the water for agricul
ture comes iirst;
That electric power is needed for
pumping irrigation water; and
That there is enough additional
water to generate at least a quar
ter million kilowatts.
The question that is NOT re
solved is who should do it
Incidentally, that was a distin
guished group on the panel Mon
day. A. N. Murray, the Reclamation
Regional Engineer, came from Sac
ramento for the forum. Charles
Stricklln, Oregon State Engineer
came from Salem. John Boyle. Cop
co veep and general manager,
came from Medford.
Lloyd Gift, the hillside irrigator,
came from the far end of Langell
Valley. Tom Horn, Tulelake Wild
life Refuge manager, came from
south of the border. Laton Stephens
local USBR project manager, came
from somewhere on the project.
Frank Jenkins just sat in his of
fice. Boyle recently was honored by
the Professional Engineers of Ore
gon. They named him the outstand
ing engineer for 1951r and gave
him a certificate of merit for nisi
work in hydroelectric power de-l
velopment "the engineer who has
been instrumental in quadrupling
the output of Southern Oregon hy
droelectric power potential since
1944." '.

Jap Fighting
Pinball Games
PORTLAND Wl Over In Tokyo
they have the same problem as
here in Portland pinball ma
chines. That's what Hlkosaburo
Okayasu, vice governor of Tokyo,
told Mayor Dorothy McCullough
Lee Tuesday.
The machines are new there, he
said, but already are everywhere
and thousands, he said, waste time
and money playing them. Even
school children delay their coming
home to play the machines which
are highly accessible.
They are owned by Individuals,
he said, and "are not run Al Ca-pone-style
as far as I know."
Mayor Lee and others of the
Portland administration have been
fighting pinball machines for some
months. In Tokyo the principal con
trol has been to make It Illegal for
thore under 18 to play them, he
said.
