I16J0 BILLBOARD By BILL JENKINS Thank gosh the Christmas sea son is Dually here. I don't even mind It getting off lo a well plugged start long bp lore Thanksgiving has even rolled round. Because It's the only seml-plca-taut season of the year I have. Mot because of Christmas, 't.pc cially. and Ira no more lilled with the milk of human kindness and compassion Ulan at any other time. But It is the time of year when a friend heaves in sight you raise a encety Merry Christmas, olu man," accompanied uy a hearty hanaclasp. a clap on the back, a toothy grimace which expresses pleasure and go on your way feel ing a cleaner and beiler man. na also without trying to re member the name of said friend. You can gel by with the time honored and maudlin statements and gestures and be regarded only as a Christian and a man whose heart is In the right place. I take the stubborn and unrea sonable attitude that there is only one of me as compared to so many of my friends. So how can 1 remember all of them and my own name at the same time? Of course, mat theory aoesn t work very well. Mainly because I all my friends adopt it, too, and to no one knows anyone's name. But "Merry Christmas," any way! Klamath Falls Is once again in the llmelipht. We nave a once native I to Klamath Falls) author cn the loose. His book was re leased last month. Opus by the title of Women and Yamsey Log gers. At least that's what It was supposed to be. Written by a chap by the name of Carl Lange. who Is currently to be found at Box tu. Prairie City, Oregon. Carl came in to see us some time after spring and before sum mer. That's as clo.se as I can come tu the daie. Told me about the book and said it was going to be published. Now It har by Expo sition Press. We shall be anxious to gel our hands on a copy and lend it. Carl came down to this country in 1920 and put in some time work ing tor Alfred Collier at Swan Lake, swin;.ng an axe, then went the way ol the educator and taught at Hrnley lor a time, later taking on the duties of principal at that school. He aio workea under r red Pe iteison. spent his summers in the j wcoos, and linally to Lakeview i where he was a distributor for As ' sociated Oil for sixteen years. He helped Bob Adams build the mill at Prairie City, then went into the rcail lumber business there and linally retired to write books. This is his first. He says the setting of the book, which is fiction with a background of fact, is the Klamath country. That's one I think we'll have to get a hold of and read. It sounds good. There seems to have been a pret ty fair amout of criticism of Wayne Morse lately for his nim blcness is leaping from crag to crag, party to party and, inciden tally, into the fire out of the pan. Hut ne sun nas one supporter. William Geuru, an Oregon Turkey larmer, wno sent the senator a 39 pound turkey as a gesture of ad miration tor Morse's move in bolt ing the GOP and tying the first firm knots with the Independents. Oeurts being an Independent vot er, according to the Associated Pi ess. We hope the senator entoys the bird. We also hope that this will not ruin the prestige of the noble bird. Perhaps it Is only the first step in a move by the Independent party to use the American Turkey as their national emblem. The Ea gle lor the nation, the Turkey for the Independents.

JORDAN, M.D li is really a mast discouraging thing to have to write about cer tain diseases year alter year, and to say that no great progress has been made in conquering them. Amone such conditions Is a dis ease of the skin known as psoriasis, pronounced with the p silent. In this common skin disease the lesions are most frequent at or about the elbows, knees, and In the scalp and lower back. AltVto.'it In? skin is disfigured, the disease Is not cancerous to Ule or general health. The Involved areas are usually bright red. level with the skui sur face, and scaly. There is a sharp dividing line between the normal sk:n and that when is atlecled by the disease. When psoriasis' starts suddenly, severe itching is common. In the more chronic causes iwhlch are most frequent) there Is little or no Itching. Thee portions of the skin which have been involved for a long time generally become cov ered with a thick scale. If this scale Is scraped off, tiny points of bleeding appear underneath. Unfortunately, te cause of pso riasis, like to many diseases of the skin. Is not known. The condi tion frequenly comes in several members of the same family and this familiar tendency has been noted by many students of the di sease. Also psoriasis Is frequently asso ciatea with certain kinds of ar-' :thritis, though Just what the con Inection is when they do occur to : gether has aroused difference cf opinion. I Persons between 10 and JO years lold are the most likely to be at tacked. The cause is almost cer tainly not an infection. There is alo a tendency for the skin le sions of psoriasis to come and go over a period of time. Many treatments are being use3 for psoriasis. Most of them brin1; about good results, at least tem porarily. However. It Is all too common for people with psoriasis to get better for a time after treat ment and then to get worse again, end if the same treatment Is tried again, they often do not respond at all. Many studies of this disease are going on and It would be strange Indeed It some fine new treatment is not found within a few years.

He s also losing his ability to marvel at the fresh marvels of science, because so many of Us wonders turn out to be blunders. This has been a fearful and tre mendous centurv of strident and continous change, multiple death and vast growth. It Is perhaps the most adventur ous and exploratory century in his tory, one that has thrown a small candle of light into the darkness of strange new worlds which seem to many more terrifying than in viting. A man who is only as old as this century Just 52 years has endured lot. He has weathered at least three depressions and two and a- half world wars. When he pauses to catch his breath and look back, it seems to him that nothin? has remained un changed with the possible excep tion of mother love. The safe-seeming world he was born into has vanished long ago. He has seen the horse and buggy replaced by the Jet plane, the stereoscope slide' give way to the television Image, chewing tobacco succeeded by bubble gum. The kev phrase of that aturdv, distant nine was "All I want Is a fair chance, an opportunity to show what I can do." Badgered and bedevilled by thee years of ceaseless change, a SU-ycar-old muu today worked fewer hours than his father did. But his leisure also is now tor mented by fears of new dooms his grandlather never dreamed ol even m his nightmares. It Is no wonder that this middle aged man in a mlddle-tigcd cen turv now often yearns, most of all, : lor some form of security, a sanc- luary from the threat of Immense danger that has palled his times I almost as. long as he can remem- jber. I Even the young, ordinarily ven 1 turesome. are Infected today by the craving for a kind of security no generation ever really has h.id i in the long hard lot of mankind on this earth. The ordinary mortal would like 'science to quit dealing up fresh I mavs-death Instruments and build : him Instead an escape hatch from I the perils of the twentieth century. I But In his heart he knows the wry truth: There Is no escape hatch. A man must live In the I time he has been allotted, and face Its tasks with what courage and i kindness and hope he can muster. ! It Is bad enough to feel like one I floating alone on a broken spr in i an unknown sea. I But there Is no point in anyone In that plight worrying about the I possibility of a hurricane. He has trouble enough alreariv. and that is why tne average American to- day Isn't in anv panic over the H-bomb. To accomplish this Hie sleel companies will spend hundreds ul millions of dollnrs.

Mr Charlie Mrl-'arlan BRUCE BIOSSAT SLAVE DICS LOS ANGELES '.fjn John Mee born In slavery 107 vears ago at Calendonia, Ark., died yesterday at the home of a daughter here. Trom Hep. Charles Wolverlon. New Jersey Republican, comes one of the first healthlul signs of what it means to vote in a new regime In Washington. He proimte a sweeping inquiry Into all ledernl regulatory agencies that have been developed or expanded In the past 20 years. Thus the Civil Aeronautics Board the Federal Communications Com. mission, the Kederal Power Com mission, the Federol Trade Coin mission, the Interstate Commerco Commission and many another agency may be due for a few vig orous swipes from the Republican broom. That broom must not be wielded vindictively. It must not be a wes jxin employed to destroy useful fed eral operations. The agencies that may come under scrutiny are most certainly all here lo stay. But it Is emlrelv (mini; Indeed necessary that their work and their personnel be examined close ly and put lo acid lest. For i!0 years they have grown and grown, seldom feeling in all thai span the corrective lash of Independent cri ticism effectively applied. There Is no part ol government that ought to be free for loo long from the cold eye of the ouuide appiaiser. Agencies cushioned against such appraisal are likelv to grow soft and alack, to sub'-ti-tute arbitrary, even capricious de. cu ion lor fair Judgment, to atep over the bounds of legal authority. These agencies government tt sell free of real challenge, sale behind the protective wall of un interrupted power, tend to d-vn'e more and more lime to defend ing or cloaking their errors. In time Ihey operate perhaps less In the Interest of )utice for nil than in the Interest of self-jusiifi-cation. Of each element In our vast fed eral establishment we ought now to ask: What functions does It perform? Are all of these useful and pro per? If some are not. should they be abandoned or given lo another agency? How efliclently and eco nomically does it npcrule? What improvements mav be proposed to Increase Its ellruliveiiess as a ser vant of the American people? Ate Us Judgments fair or biased? Docs It iwrliaps protect the very seg ment of U.S. society II was creat ed to regulate? If a Republican Congress can conduct a calm, searching investi gation along these lines, aimed al ways at constructive gouls. It can give an early answer in one sphere at least to those who charge that the OOP Is Inevitably a wrecking crew. It can drinon slrate Unit elllcient government need not be Inhumane government.
