Today seems to be Uie day for
local people to have stories to ten.
The best of 'em comes irom Joe
Matllck, who really has one for
the books.
Seems Joe and his wife took off
for Oalice recently for a few day
of fishing. Galice is a tuning cen
ter on the Rogue a few miles from
Grant Pass. ,
Over there you hire a plank over
the river, set your pole and wait
for the salmon to come in. Unless
you want to stand there and cast
and cast ana cam.
wail .Tn And his wife elected
to take it easy. He rigged both
poles, propped them up over the
rail with the butts in a fiddle at
the bottom and wauea ior results.
- While sitting back and enjoying
the weather, the conversation, the
beautiful picture of the wooded can
yon with the emeraia river trip
ping merrily along, and in general
doing a good Job of relaxing Joe
looked up and saw Mrs. Matlick's
: pole bobbing frantically up and
down witn me line wuu
With an agonized leap he cleared
his seat, dashed frensiedly toward
the pole with outstretched hand
and lost by a nose. Just as his
I fingers closed the pole was Jerked
from his hands and went where all
Rood poles eventually go.
With a samon gone (and Joe
had never caught one in his life
before) he did the only thing he
could. He took his own pole, rigged
with a lure that looked like a sur
plus triple grapple from the navy,
and started casting into the pool in
the hope that he could snag the
line of the lost pole and retreive it.
No luck!
About then a friend showed ud
In a boat and Joe enlisted his help.
Rigging a length of clothesline to
the rowboat Joe maneuvered it
where the skipper told him to
while the skipper probed the pool
with an eight foot oar that would
barely touch bottom.
But a miracle happened.
. He looped up the line, carefully
hauled it in, hand over hand, and
grabbed the pole.
The fish was still on.
He handed the pole to Joe.
Joe started to reel the fish in.
It's here that the story should
teach the climax with the saucv

NEW YORK jT- The art of
bawling out the hired hands is
becoming a lost art in the Ameri
can business world.
In the old days when a boss saw
something he didn't like, he'd let
out a yelp and dress the culprit
down on the spot in burning
language more memorable than
grammatical. ,
But today most bosses seem to
have lost the gift of tonsue-lashing.
They have found it cheaper, by
and large, to hire a psychiatrist to
find out what is the matter with a
derelict employe than it is to bawl
the fellow out themselves and end
up explaining it all to the U. 6.
Supreme Court,
So many employes know their
rights now that an employer is
hesitant about pointing out their
wrongs.
SURPRISE
Therefore, it came as something
of a surprise to me to get the
following letter:
"Dear sir:
'I have a problem. My boss
bawled me out last week, and I
have a feeling he's going to bawl
me out again this week.
"I would quit and get me another
Job exept it's such a nice place to
work. The management even puts
gin in the office water cooler. What
can I do? It makes me nervous
when the boss bawls me out.
(Signed) a Terrified young man"
Well, dear Terrified, your prob
lem was so unusual that I took it up
with all the oldtimers I know who
can still remember being bawled
out by their boss (there are only a
few of them left). Here is the sum
mary of their advice:
Build up the drama of the sit
uation. When the summons comes
In eo see the boss, walk into his
office with a look of utter happi
ness.
Get it? You make him think you
have no idea of what is going to
happen. He feels like a cat playing
with a near-sighted mouse.
As he tees on on your misde
meanors, don't make the mistake
of listening to him. You already
know more about what is wrong
with your work than he does. Con
centrate on your acting. Let the
smile fade from your face. Replace
it with a look of amazement, then
horror, then abject hopelessness.
Don't make the mistake of argu
ing with him about your rights.
He wouldn't bawl you out in the
first place if he hadn't already con
sulted a couple of attorneys and
the National Labor Relations
Board.
And don't Interrupt him. Egg him
on. If he gets tired of denouncing

As he launches out into a fresh,
tirade, lift your hanging head and
let him see the tears in your eyes.
Let the tears fall on his desk. . .
Plop. . . Plop. . . Plop.
The main thing is to keep him
attacking you as long as possible.
Just remember that bosses are
like wives after they wear out
their temper they feel ashamed of
themselves.
When he finally runs down his
vocal chords, reach up with one
hand and brush away your tears.
Reach out the other hand and grab
his hand and say:
"Thanks, chief, thanks. I know
I'll be a better man for this."
Then, as you go out the door,
turn and look at the family photo
he has on his desk and say:
"Gee chief, you've got a line
looking family. Why do yoil make

This will bring out the father In

By Jimmy Ilatlo
Each Memorial Day my thoughts
turn to a young Air Forte pilot
from Texas, who in death did more
for international relations than
most of us do in a lllelime.
He died in the skies over a tiny
farm village north of Paris during
the closing phases of the war. The
iiennuus were still occupying
France and Remv and one sum
mer's day they slid a trnlnload of
nitroglycerin onto the village sld-
uig.
The Resistance sneaked word of
the target to the Free French and
Uiree American planes camo over
on a bombing mission. The first
plane scored a direct hit, and when
the third plane, piloted by the Tex
an roared in low. the plane received
the full impact of the explosion.
CRASH SCENE
The plane crashed In the front
yard of the Norman farm owned
oy the village s aristocrat, a won
derful tweedy old baroness . who
was sheltering a houseful of Paris
relatives. The blast of nitroglycerin
killed some 400 Germans as well
as a number of villagers and
wrecked many farm buildings and
pock-marked the old church in the
center of the village for eternity.
But wnen tne plane crasned, tne
Baroness and her brood ran from
the house, and braved the flames
of the plane to pull out the pilot.
They wrapped him in the whlto
silk of his purachute and took him
in tne house. Then the Germans
came and ordered the burial.
I came to Remv to visit the old
lady alter the Germans had been
driven from France and the Allies
were driving beyond the Rhine.
urcetinss were scarcely over when
she took us to the village grave-

to introduce Us to the man all
Remy knew and protected as "The
American."
GRAVE
His grave was in the verv heurt
of the little cemetcrv. surroundrii
by the resting places and small
stone markers of generations of
French peasant farmers. It was the
best-kept grave In the cemetery
neatly bordered with pansles. and
carefully trimmed and cultivated.

even some of the villagers who
had been crippled by the explosion.
But to me. It was the marker
of The American's grave which
told of Remy 'a care. It was the
twisted, warped propeller of his
plane, rearing ud iirotesauelv and
like modern abstract sculpture In
uie simple oio graveyard.
And, painstakingly and amateur
ishly inscribed on its elttterlnir
metal, was his name and all other
iniormation, including his blood
type, copied, lcttter for letter, num
ber for number, from the young
mans dog-tags, the only Identifica
tion they had.
My hostess, tears in her eyes
as she relived the story, told me
excitedly how the people had hid
den the propeller until the Ger
mans left, and how one of them
had worked in secret to mark it.
As soon as the Germans left, they
had re-burled the boy among their
own people. Later, after the Amer
icans and British and French came
to France, she wrote to the boy's
parents in Texas and they in turn
wrote back, enclosing pictures of
the young man,
REMOVED
A couple of years ago, I went
back to Remy to see the Baroness
and to see the graveyard. I went
to the cemetery first. The propeller
was gone. Where the grave had
been was a patch of green grass.
The caretaker explained that the
Americans had taken "The Ameri
can" away back to his own coun
try. Then I called on the Baroness.
In the front yard where the plone
had crashed, in the middle of her
formal garden, was a small cross
and a vase of fresh flowers be
side it. Inside the house in the
family's sitting room, was a framed
picture of The American.
They have not forgotton him in

village; most of the people have

Saturn Is generally considered
the most striking telescopic oblect
In the sky. The ball of the planet
is surrounded In the plane of its
diuiitor by a beautiful flat ring
on one side of which the shadow
of the Blobo Is cast. One poet has
said,
"While Saturn whirls
His .steadfast shade
Sleeps on his luminous ring "
TWO VIEWS
Saturn Is doubtless tho least In
teresting of all the brighter uluuets
when viewed without optical aid,
but a good telescope and clear,
quiet air change all this. Observa
tory attendants are nultn familiar
with the expressions of wonder aikl
astonishment from those obtaining
their first glimpses ot this distant
world and Its gorgeous ring system.

The Communists are now daring
UN negotiators to break olf the
truce talks at Ponmunjom. There
la little else left for them to uj,
since the barrenness of their bar
gaining position has been thorough
ly exposed.
Tho stumbling blocks in the path
of a truce hove been reduced to
one the Issue of repatriating pris
oners. We flatly relusc to turn back
to the Reds some 60,000 North Ko
rean and Chinese who have said
they do not wish to return. Wo
will not commit them to death or
slavery.
For the Communists this Is ob
viously a bitter pill. They cannot
bring themselves to admit before
the world that there are 60,000 peo
ple familiar with Communist life
who do not care to enjoy its "bene
fits" again.
Yet they will have to concede
this. If there Is to be a truce. For
we will not yield this point and
there is nothing else on which we
can give way. That means that at
last we are approaching the mo
ment of real decision. At lust e
are going to find out whether tho
Reds really want a truce or not.
GUESS
Suppose the answer Is "no."
What the military sequel will be is
anybody's guess. Certainly we will
try to keep the Korean war on a
limited footing, even though wo
may adopt new measures not here
tofore tried. Our commanders in
sist, too, that we have the sub
stance to contain any new Re.1 of
fensives, despite the big build-up
the Communists have managed
during the protracted truce talks.
It would be foolish to pretend
that we would be "better off" un
der these altered circumstances. Al
most nothing related to the Korean
situation, either existing or foresee

yielding by the Reds on repatria
tion, there Is no reasonable alterna
tive. If we were to hand the Red the
prisoners who don't want to go
back, we would suffer In severul
ways. Few Asiatic Communists
ever would surrender again since
they would simply be faced with
the choice of death at enemy
hands or later death or slavery at
Red hands. Communists fighting to
the death in combat mean more
American and Allied casuahtles.
Secondly, we would be com
mitting a crime against humanity
for which the world, and especially
the Asiatic world, would never for
give us. Who would believe Ameri
can talk of freedom If we were un
willing to protect men who want to
be free?
The possible breakdown of truce
talks Is not something we can con
template with satisfaction. But If
these, 300-odd days of Indecision
have nurtured false hopes of early
peace, it is better that they be
dashed. It is better to know the
truth than to dream wildly ot a
day that may be far off.

The name "mongolism" comes
from the appearance which Is some
thing like that of the far eastern
race known as Mongols.
Most mongoloid children are hap
py and friendly. During Infancy
they are great imitators and often
like music. They rarely learn to
sicuk properly and the voice tends
to be rough and harsh. Many die
in Infancy end few llvo beyond
their teens.
Many possible causes have been
suggested, studied, and abandoned.
Some people thnk, or at least have
thought that mongolism comes
from some hereditary tendency, the
exact nature of which has not yet
been discovered. In recent year,
however, most of those who have
studied the subject agree that there
is a definite relationship between
the age of the mother and tho fre
quency of mongolism In a child,
that Is, the older tho mother tho
greater the chance of having a mon
goloid child.
The birth of a mongoloid child
comes as a terrible shock to the
parents. It should be considered as
a pure accident and does not re
flect In any way on the parents,
the diet, the medical care, or any
other known factor. Most doctors
experienced In this field believe
that mongoloid Idiots should be
committed to an lnstllulon as soon
ns possible nftcr birth. Immediate
separation before emotional tlos
are formed Is the best solution for
family and child. Tho chances arc
good (about 20 tn 1) that, other
children born later will bo normal.
