What with slick streets, ice forming every time one turns around, slushy snow and the Inevitable accidents it might pay olf. You could have a set of shiny metal fenders for summer driving and Uien replace 'em with rubber ones for the winter season. Then, when you bashed In the front or rear one by running Into another car, a post or some thing, all that would happen would be a soggy thud, a pause In your travels and maybe a little wheel spinning. Let's think it over. (Eds. Note: The way Mr. Jenkins drives he would be better off to leave the rubber ones on the year found.) The local clay pigeon experts got started saain Sunday, but only managed to get halfway through their day's shooting with anything like the usual decorum that ac ; companies anything so truly sport ing and so magnificently spectacu lar as trap or ei ouuwua.

Nations would like to do that, too. But unfortunately it Isn't as easy for them. For governments march by a continuity of policy rarely broken or changed merely by the death of one jeajr or the birth of an other. Their obligations endure. The American nation at this per iod of changing calendars stands on s peculiar shelf of history. It is like s mountain climber pausing momentarily on a ledge for breath. On one side Is s steep climb to the heights and wider view he seeks; on the other lies a gulf. It Is s sobering time. There Is much for the average American to celebrate and be humbly grate ful for. SAM DAWSON NEW YORK UP) Big business men are moving Into Washington so some 101k say. aim! critic, ask: Will a cabinet full of big businessmen be able to aeuver tne gooas in me uig task it facee or are people ex pecting more than business-trained officials can produce right away? Business has been gratified at seeing leading executives of big corporations, big banks, and big corporation law firms many with "personal Incomes running in to six figures a year getting top places in the new administra tion. A wave of confidence has swept the Industrial and financial worlds since the election, with much talk about the favorable atmosphere for business expected henceforth. n..rln.rrn- mUlUn, V. W Mil do a better job of running big government than can the profes sors, the economists, the planners, the Idealists the men whom business criticized as wielding too much influence in Washington the last 20 years. The change-over gives business the opportunity to run things closer to the pattern It approves. Some warn, however, that this carries with It a responsibility to produce popular results. And the task the big business cabinet laces Is tough. The chal lenge to business is clear cut. The voters will be watching, counsel lors warn, and reaction to any failure or to a business slump would come fast. While the President and his businessmen cabinet may propose how the country should be run, much will depend upon now con gress disposes of these proposals. Strong farm, labor and other blocs can act as brakes. But with the Conservative coali tion In Congress stronger now than before the election, most business men believe business will be given the green light. Look at the roster of big busi nessmen moving to Washington: Charles E. Wilson, Oeneral Mo tors president, will head up the biggest business of all defense aided by: Roger M. Kyes, OM vice presl dent, as his deputy. Robert Ten Broeck Stevens, head of the big textile firm of J. P. Steven it Co., as Army Secretary: Robert Bernard Anderson, Texas cattle, oil end banking leader, as Navy Secretary; And Harold E. Tslbott, Invest ment banker and Chrysler direc tor, as Air Force secretary. Oeorgs M. Humphrey.

Near the end of the run the Jack ran into a snow bank he couldn't hurdle ana started to tunnel iiac mad. with the dog hoi on his neels. Nn one took a shot at the rab bit, but they all doubled up with laughter at the sight and there went the shooting for the day. Every time a shooter would pull down in his clay pigeon he'd re member that fool rabbit setting speed records over the course and start to laugh. And there went the scores. Winter thought: When the Lake of the Woods road Is completed it should take a load otf the minds ot a lot of home owners up mere. It stands to reason that with a hard top road in there it will eventually be kept open. And then home owners can drive up and keep the snow off the roofs with out worry. There is also much on the up hill road ahead to make him take heed and plan his course with care. It Is s, time to be confident rather than cocksure, prayerful but not seulsh. Look down. How far we have climbed! Look up. How far there is to gol The big problem of 1952, as in the years before, is still unsolved how to build the framework of a permanent world peace. The cvnlc says the very cantan kerous nature ot man himself pre vents a solution, and always will, because it always has. The optimist says ft can and must be done or the race of man will turn in blind destruction and sung itself to death with the new weapons available to it. It would take a starry Idealist indeed to believe that the year 1953 will see an ultimate curb put to such old foes ss war, hunger, disease, creed and poverty. But it can see another step taken toward such goals. The biggest need Is for Ameri cans to pull together in a unity greater than they have ever known before. The biggest temptation la tor them to let down the pack that chafes them, to give up their mu tual ellort in tne sesren ior per sonal clashing Dleasures. The task for both government and individual Is the same to face with fortitude ana courage old duties, fresh responsiDiuues, and new opportunities.

JORDAN, M.D. Today's first question is one which the men dont have to worry aboul. 4 A group of us high school girls have been debating about shaving our legs. We have been told that it would make the hnir grow faster and coarser. Is this right? M.H. A Shaving the legs will perhaps not make the hair grow faster, but It will make it come in thicker and coarser. This concession to vanity should be postponed as long as possible. Q Please tell me what thiamine hyarochloride is generally pre scribed for? Would taking 100 mil ligrams daily be harmful to a woman 01 46? M.M. A Thiamine Is a complicated chemical compound, also known as vitamin B-l. Its absence from the diet causes a vitamm-deflciency di sease known as berl-berl. It is giv en for various kinds of neuritis and a great many other things in which tne doctor suspects a defi ciency of this vitamin in the natur al diet. It would not be likely to harm a woman of 43. Q Some time ago I read an ar ticle which saia that a baby nurses from Its own breast whlcn Is inside the mother's womb. Is this true? A It Is not true. The nourish ment of sn unborn baby is ob tained from the mother's blood stream. Q Is It true that a person with high blood pressure cannot be fit- BRUCE When President Truman took of fice in 1945 upon the death ot Franklin D. Roosevelt, ue was per haps one of the most reluctant chief executives of an time. He did not want the Job. and he was frankly frightened of Its responsi bilities. Slowly, however, his fears les sened and his confidence mounted as he became accustomed to his new role. He began to enjoy his position. Nevertheless, In his first terra he was a much criticized man and he must have felt keenly the barbs of his attackers His surprise election In 1948 swept sway the last vestiges of doubt and humility In Mr. Truman. That election should have been no surprise; it was one ot the most poorly analyzed In American his tory. But since it was unforeseen. the President took and was given- full personal credit for producing the upset. . Thereafter the President was ex tremely self-sssured. He felt vindi cated by his popular triumph, felt he had proved bis superior talents as a politician. Mr. Truman genera liy was pret ty happy during his second term. But like virtually all his predeces sors, be became concerned with his place In history. He wanted the record of his years to read right. Thus tne scandals in Rrt. tne Internal Revenue Bureau and else where must have hit him hard. Yet oddly, he could not bring himself to deal with these matters with the bold courage that actually might se enhanced his stature in his tory. ! v. : , JAMES WARLOW jtfe tf i ' "fat jf Hll 1 llf''W'raiirVriTisT 111 H WASHINGTON fifl Sen. McCar thywhose pursuit ot Communists brought nim Jeers, cheers sna re election Is now In position to oper ate on a bigger scale than ever b:fore, and seems to Intend to. in tne new KenuDiicsn-controuea Congress McCarthy will be chair man of a powerful Senate com mittee which has a staff of lawyers and investigators whom McCarthy can use in his Rea hunt. yntll now from the time he be gan his sensational charges of Communists in government almost three years ago the Wisconsin Re publican hid to do business pretty much on his own and, more or less, with his own stall. It Is not known how President elect Elsenhower feels about the prospect of stepped-up and even broader explorations by McCarthy. And there is no Indication from what he has said recently that McCarthy Intends asking. If for any reason the new Presi dent sought to throw roadblocks In the senator's way, he might find, as hsve others who attempted to interfere with McCarthy, that he had a tiger by the tall.

A Glasses can be fitted for a person with high blood pressure to correct the same defects of vision such as astigmatism or near sightedness which might be pres ent in another person. But glasses cannot be expected to correct some of the complications of high blood pressure which may occur In the deeper portions of the eye. Q Could a constant roaring In the head be an indication of a tum or of the brain? R.B.C. A It could be. but It Is much more likely to reflect some dis order of the internal portion of the ear. or high blood pressure, man a brain tumor. Q Can a person have polio and not know it? Are people with polio compelled to go to a hospital? If not, must the family be quaran tined? Are polio and Infantile par alysis the same thing? D.U. A Yes, a person can have polio and not know it. It Is believed that a good many people probably are infected with the virus which cause the disease, but do not get the nerve symptoms and consequently escape diagnosis. Not all people who have polio have to go to the hospital, and an article in one of the medical journals, not long ago, suggested that more could be treated success fully at home. Quarantine regulations vary, so the third question Is difficult to answer. Pouo. or poliomyelitis, and Infantile paralysis are the same disease. BIOSSAT Dominated by his sense of party loyalty, he chose the more limited course of minlmi&ng the scandal and applying half-way measures to correct It. To blm this waa the better way to safeguard his peji tlon. When he took to the hustings this fall, be was not so much promot ing Governor Stevenson as he was defending his own record, .'.nd an understanding of that fact may go far toward explaining, if not ex cusing, the violence of the Presi dent's attack upon Oeneral Elsen hower and the Republican Party. That same fact, apparently, un derlies Mr. Truman's assault upon Elsenhower as having practiced demagoguery in promising to visit Korea if he was elected. This is not the spot to argue the matter of that campaign promise, though perfectly good case ran be made out that It was not demogoglc. thi I President? taTuS' 3 me point is mat this attack by an his campaign blasts, sounds like "I and my party can do no wrong. He says in effect that he and his administration have con- siaerea every conceivable answer to the country's problems. How dare any man or party suggest otherwise? In every new idea that does not originate within nis governing group, Mr. Truman sees not hope or tne nation but a reflection unon the performsnce and Judgment of nis own administration. Automati cally, this Is "demagoguery." But on Nov. 4 the people of America indicated they hold a somewhat different view. " I 'a.j-ljMtfclwtoetrfitiwMI nists In the government, particu larly In the State Department: a hunt for Communists or "Commu nist thinking" in the colleges: and an Investigation of corruption in government, Elsenhower would certainly fol low with Interest a McCarthy ex amination of the minds of college professors since Elsenhower him self is giving up the presidency of Columbia University to be presi dent of the United States. And when Eisenhower Is In the White House he can expect to see McCarthy's sleuths prowling around the government looking for corruption, not only corruption which might Lave occurred during the Truman regime but which bob up In Elsenhower's own ad ministration. As for the search for Com munists In the government, Mc Carthy made It pretty clear he considers anything that's happened In the past only preliminary to a 1 "real housecleanlng." , II Friendly III Helpfulness To Every I Creed and Punt Ward's Klamath II Funeral Home Marguerite M, Ward III and Sen 925 High Phone 3334 Atom Flyer Reports Spies WASHINGTON I Col.

He did not name the countries nor say whether the agents had had an opportunity to leurn any secrets. He said he did not know what became of the agents, that the Manhattan District took charge of them. The Manhattan District was the Army code name for the A-bomb development project.
