BILL-BOARD
By BILL
There's more than one mystery
around here these days. Was dis
cussing the Crater Lake murders
with Lloyd Low, ex-sheriff (24 years
in officei. when we got off on the
. subject ot guns in general.
One thing led to another and the
newest mystery was unearthed.
Remember back a few years when
Klamath Falls went all out and
staged a centennial celebration?
And at the time Chet Barton and
a companion or so look off for a
tour of the state to advertise it?
Well, part of the paraphanelia
ot that trip consisted on old time
v garments and guns. One of the
guns to go on the trip was an old
time nogleg owned by Judge U. E.
Recder. The Judge says it was the
original gun that his great-uncle
Slug packed from Plymouth Rock
to the Rock Candy Mountains. Be
that as It may, the gun went along
on the trip. On the party's return
" the gun was added to a couple or
so more pistols owned by Lloyd
and left in his office.
About this time it was that a
local merchant wanted to do his
part for the celebration and put in
a window display. So he borrowed
the guns from Lloyd. With Lloyd's
blessing, of course.
And there the story ends. The
guns were never,returned. And the
sad part of it is that Lloyd can't
for the life of him remember who
it was he loaned 'em to.

CAUGHT In
By DfcB
An interesting point was raised
by HolUs Hull, head of the Oregon
Legion, in a talk to service clubs
here Friday.
It was the same point made by
Senator Harrv Byrd of Virginia,
that was referred to here the other
day.
Sen. Byrd said that one of the
characteristics of the venal de
generation of our present govern
ment Is that of "amorality." Amo
rality sets in, the senator
explained, when we are so hard
ened by all that we observe around
us that we are no longer able to
distinguish the moral trom the
immoral.
Hollis Hull, speaking for the non
partisan American Legion, was
critical of our foreign policy of
the past seven years.
In commenting on American dol
lars being sent to foreign countries
(billions in reUef immediately after
the war, and billions through the
Marshall Plan) he took the stand
we 6hould expect a return, in some
form, for every dollar sent abroad.
He went on to say that such a
stand had been criticised as being
immoral.
Since when, he asked, has the
solid American principle of an
honest return for an honest
dollar become immoral?
What the world needs from the
United Stales is leadership, Hull
said, not the free gift of dollars.
! Speaking ot dollars, notice came
to this paper Thursday that the
price of - newsprint has gone up
10 dollars a ton as of now.

KEW YORK t Industry rolled
up its sleeves this week for a fast
recovery from the eight-week steel
strike.
Settlement W'as hardly more than

plans were set in motion by dozens
of industries.
In the nation's bid steel centers
preparations were rushed to heat
up the blast furnaces that were
banked when the strike began.
Along the upper reaches of the
Great Lakes, the big ore carriers
made ready to resume their runs
waiting only for final agreement
over terms that would send 23,000'
Iron ore workers in Minnesota back
to their mines.
Munitions plants, which closed
down after scraping the bottom of
the steel barrel, . were set to re
open. Freight carriers waited at tne
gates of many steel plants to load
finished tlnplate stored in the idle
mills.

In first-degree burns there Is
merely some reddening of the skin

Second-degree burns cause actual

skin Itself, but also the tissues
lying beneath It which are killed

Prevention of burns Is more Im

For sever burns, Including sec

the delegates find hard to under

"Well," said the first delegate,
