At least there is no complaint about lack of the thin stuff. All you really have to do to find out pretty much what is going on in the area is s.t around BUI Ryser's tavern and pretty soon the whole sang will wander In to see what is koiuk on. Talk about fishing runs high. followed by admiring statements made about Bill's new dog, a hus ky looking Chesapeake he picked up In Prlnevllle a few days ago. Anyway, It's a pleasant soot to kill a few hours. Discussion on the city measures gets hotter and notter as time goes on. Despite an almost ghostly lack of interest in the primary election this year. People are Interested In the ptesidential race and that's about all. I might state here and now that while I won't take issue with the national picture I would like to put my two cents worth in on one local measure. Let's keep the park board where it is and not cut it under the thumb of the city council in an advisory capacity. There has been tremendous amount of work done by the intra oers of the park uroup who have all served on a voluntary basis and ii would be a sin and a shame to see It wasted by break ing ud this smoota runnmg organ isation. I presume it Is almost safe now to stop worrying shout any road- blocking snow storms. But there is another weather menace coming along that holds almost the same potemis lor mental agony, i reier of course to the terrible decision the gardeners must make from time to time as to whether to water the lawn or wait for a rain? Like last night. I was watering a few shrubs and plants for mv mother while she was away on a tiip. It looked like rain all day. the barometer dropped stead ily, the clouds racked up in everv corner of the sky, but as this is written (Mondav night) there has been no ram and ... so the plants were watered. If that, plus the fact that Hale washed his car to day, doesn't bring on at least a light sprinkle I'll Quit. They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy llatlo f AT BKANO-NBvy HOUSE W $32,0OO S OUT V- Vg!

That's one of those questions to which you can't givj a pat answer, but the besi advice is not to bold your breath nor to start buying any TV receiver sets. All I know about TV is what Bud Chandler tells me, and he says that the earliest likely date is some time in 1955. And there are a lot of "Ifs" to be hurdled in those three years. You can't expect to stop, look and listen to television until there is a local station. That's because the TV wave, or impulse or what ever it is, follows a straight line; it won't bend over mountains. TV. in a way, is following the course of regular radio, but is do ing it faster. (Radio and TV both are governed by, and licenses to broadcast are issued by, the Federal Communica tions Commission, as set up by the Congress.) Radio, until about 1939 or '40. was a sanctioned monopoly in most towns, because engineering stand ards restricted the number of sta tions in the country to about 1000. Then a change in philosophy came from the Congress and. af ter the wartime freeze, many more station allocations were made. Engineering standards gave way to the call for more stations in the ' public interest, and 1.300 more li censes have been granted since 1945. The FCC first followed engineer ing advice and said there would be only 1000 television broadcasters Then it appeared that more were reeded in the public interest, so all TV applications were frozen in 1948 and the engineers were told to go over it again. They did, and came up with the answer that twice that many TV stations could be put on the air. ' About the middle of Am-il, then, the commission thawed the freeze and again are accenting applica tions. It set 90 days to receive ap plications before anv were consid ered. It is estimated that it will take seven years to go through all the applications for all channels avail able and make the decisions that will give the green light to get ting on the air. In the engineering to ultimately allow a maximum of 2000 look and listen stations on the air, Klamath Falls is down for one. It is Questionable if a TV opera tion would be a paying proposition in a lown tnis size. The FCC looks on a monopoly (one station only) town with a strong eye toward community service. For these reasons (we're Quoting Bud) it appears that some kind of a broad eommunilv cornorAtinn is needed to field a local TV out- out. (uniiie tne Gems, its success would not be tied in with what might happen in the rest of a local league nor with whether the weath er is good or bad in May.) It is a fact that there are local people who are locking at some such type of organizaton. II seme such Plan were worked out. or if some other type of ap plication were made for a TV li cense, and if one were granted within the normal chances of time expectancy, withou; the rules be ing changed in the meantime then you might have a look at televi sion in 19S5. f I " i'V '-l. i i iiiiiiinrr k 5-W -v25!L ;Vw. . 1 Mijm k l : (V- ',!'

Tou both can keep your shirts on for a spell yet. FISHING WAS PRETTY GOOD Sunday on Upper Klamath Lake, at least for the Mo Gill family. They snagged this string of 11 fish, weighing from three to eight, pounds, trolling. Left to right are Gary, his father Leonard McGill, and the younger member of the family, Ronnie. dial Bok In advance of the Massachusetts primary. Senator Taft declared it would be a "fair test." There is considerable reason to believe it was Just that, and the result dem onstrated that General Eisenhower was the overwhelming choice of those who cast Republican ballots. The general's total, in excess of zto.uuu voies, was me largest write in ever recorded by any candi date anywhere. It surpassed the peak established only a week be fore by Taft in Pennsylvania 173k wo. In the matter of delegates, Eisen hower captured 27 of 28 GOP seats . in 14 districts and is assured of at least two of the 10-at-large dele gates. Taft spokesmen in the state indicated they could not be happy with winning less than 12 of the 28 district spots. The factors which made Massa chusetts a reasonably fair test were these: Neither Taft nor Eisenhower was on the ballot. Both had to be writ ten in. SUPPORT Neither candidate had the bene fit oi an incumbent state adminis tration, which could throw power ful strength one way or the other. An active campaign was made on behalf of both men. Taft car ried his own case to the Massa chusetts voters, and Eisenhower's was borne by a number of the lead ing figures in his camp. Elsenhower had the advantages that went with the support of both Massachusetts senators Lodge, his campaign manager, and Saltonstall, (I Friendly Helpfulness To tvery Creed and Puna Ward's Klamath Funeral Home Marguerite M, Ward and Som 925 High Phone 3334 But several prominent Republicans in the state favored Taft. This is the balanced part of the picture. But despite the fact that Taft and a lot of others considered the equalizing factors predominant, it is only proper to point out one major disadvantage the senator confronted. Massachusetts, like other eastern seaboard states, has a heavy tilt toward the internation alist viewpoint. And this whole re gion has not proved top Taft ter ritory. EARLY WINS Eisenhower earlier had triumphed in Hew Hampshire, New Jersey, Mew York and Maine, and had rolled up a-big popular victory in Pennsylvania even though not col lecting that state's delegates (thev are largely uncommitted). As this was Taft's drawback In the East, so it was Elsenhower's tnat midwestern states like Nebras ka and Illinois are strongholds of isolationist feeling. In the end however. Eisenhower' Massachusetts victory should not be minimized. For his obvious strength in the east cannot be over looked by a party which needs a tremendous pile-up of electoral votes next November to balance the inevitable southern and southwest ern backlog the Democrats can command. The Massachusetts result pushes Taft Into something of a defensive position. It now remains to be seen wnetner by his late-season perform ance in Ohio, West Virginia and South Dakota he can regain an of fensive posture. KANSAS CITY Wl It is a long roaa oaci to cnuanooa. it is hard to find the way. Coming back to the home of his boyhood, a man finds it hard to forgive the changes. He has a vague resentment that things don't stay just as he left them. . . Just as he holds them in memory. He misses the neighbors who have died or moved away. Who cut aown tnat tree in the back yard he climbed as a kid? The patch of blue sky looks bare and new. And the elm tree in the front yard. How did it ever get that tall? Somehow he feels a stranger In the old house, lonesome because it has changed as much as he has. He has lost some hair and got a new false tooth. And It has been singled, papered, and modernized with a new sink, another bathroom and a fine gas furnace. LOST FEELING I always have this lost feeling momentarily when I return to visit our family home here. It is old enough to be getting hardening of the rafters. But instead it Is getting disgrace fully younger and younger looking as I get more and more middle aged. Why should a man age and a house grow young? What kind of a world is that? The nicest thing In our old home right now is my 8-year-old niece, Kathy, the prettiest cowboy in the block. Kathy Is at an age when she Is losing her belief in the Easter bunny but still has a firm faith in the Angels. "I prayed you would come back I Wi-ne-ma Coffee Quality Food At Reasonable Prices ML 2F'ed' 'Ho$pitolitv ' and you did,' she told me. "I used to pray when you were away at the war or somewhere, and you came back then, too." Although Kathy Is glad to see me, the thing she really likes best about my visits is that I sleep in her bed and she gets to sleep with her grandma, which is a great privilege. We had a big family reunion dinner the other evening. Everyone ate hearlly, and after we all went to bed the house began to vibrate from the snoring, a Boyle family trait. Finally mother Joined the chorus. Little Kathy Immediately began to shake her. "Grandma. Grandma, wake up!" she cried. "You sound just like a lion!" There Is nothing like children to keep a house from growing old, and I guess It Is Kathy who keeps our house vital and young. She has as her own room now the room in which dad and mother slept when they first moved there with five children more than 30 years ago. One morning I awoke early and went downstairs. The steps still creaked betrayingly, just as they had years before when any of the boys tried to creep silently up them after coming home late. PRISONER Sitting alone In the silent living room, a room full of old family memories of qunr. Js and kindness, tears and warmth, I had the feeling of being a prisoner between two worlds the restless present and the lost, unchangeable past. I walked to the big, old-fashioned front door and looked out. Up the street came two young boys de livering the Sunday newspapers. They looked like brothers, and they were Jostling each other and laughing. Thirty years ago my older broth er, Edward, and I had walked through the dawn streets this same way, laughing, Jostling and arguing as we threw the morning papers kerplunk I on the front porches. I stepped out on the porch and pickeid up our paper. The two boys looked at me curiously, then walked on. I watched them go, and It was as If I stood on a little platform In time watching myself and my brother live together again a lost morning part of our lives. Somehow It gave me the thing every one comes back to find, and when I went inside the door I felt at home at last, and at peace with the past.

Btod dard has derided what ahould bt done with 600.000 report cards that came back from the primer witn misspellings. He recommended to the Board of Education Monday that some be used as office duplicates In secon dary achools and the rest, correct ed by hand, be Issued lo ellmcn- tary school students. When the cards came out sever al weeks ago the "U" and "A" in "language" were transposed and the second "S' was missing from "semester.' Seems the school sys tem's proof reader hadn't noticed the errors. Concluding his report to the school board, Stoddard said: "There are two words, "language" und semester," that we hope no one of our generation will ever mis spell again." Stoddard apparently didn't proof read his copy. It's "misspell," not "mlspell."
