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.

Two factors apur the move to
tillllre this rock: Declining output
of Mtmic'iota's Mesabl ore that
can be mined and shipped' "as Is"
to the furnaces, and tear that flow
of ore from prolific new foreign
sources would ba Interrupted In a

The awifl expansion of ateel
making colls for mora and mora
raw materials.
Vast new sources of usable Iron
ore have been uncovered outside
the borders of this country, boost
ing Imports of ore by nearly 34
per cent last year.
But steel companies don't want
lo have too many eggs In a foreign
basket.
Thev have been working for
years on methods of using the Iron

By EDWIN P. 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

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.
