In the future lands near the federal projects will be acquired -with the aim In mind of conserv ing our game. All well and good as far as It goes. But we are a mite on the skeptical side. It might very well go too far. Conservation Is a fine thing. All true sportsmen want to see our wildlife and fish preserved in order that future generations will have their share of the thrills of hunting and fishing. But In recent years we have found, much to our chagrin and often disgust, that the3e so-called conservation moves have turned into preservation moves. We have not only conserved our wildlife re sources, we have placed them out side the range of the hunter and the fisherman. It would be well for the sports men in the future If he looks well into any land acaulsltion by the federal government which bears the label of conservation. Our reserve areas. In our opinion, are ade quate now. Any additional areas placed in this category stand to be removed forever from the hunt er's ken. We live in a strategic area. And a strategic age. Let's watch our rights as hunters and ' taxpayers and see that conservation In the federal sense doesn't end up with us hanging up our guns and spend. ing the rest of our lives talking about the "good old days" when there was enough land left posted for us to hunt on. Along that line we might say that a report lrom uie Oregon game commission quotes Larry Bisbee, a field agent, as saying that game in the Southeast (of Oregon) has fared well over the winter and the prospect is good. Deer okay, plenty of feed for the quail and pheasants. On the whole, pretty encouraging. All of which reminds us that the Oregon game group planted a total of 34.600 Chinese and Mon golian pheasants in the state last year. That's the kind of conserva tion we stand behind a hundred per cent. And every gunner should be willing to chin In and he D the stale. Hunting is sure as the devil one place where you can have your cake and eat It too, if you don't want something; for nothing at the same time. - In addition to the pheasants there were almost 11,000 chukar partridge released in Eastern Oregon. This brings the figures on these birds to a total of over 20,000 that have been planted.

'HAL BOYLE - NEW YORK Wl Manhattan has its own morning sounds that set it apart, just as a small town does. . , or a farm in the country, where' alarm clocks :wear feath ers and boss a barnyard. But the dawn sounds here are more mixed In mood. . . the wail of a fire or police siren, stirring a fear-thrill in the city heart, the clank of a garbage can against a sanitation truck. , . the wall vibrating snore of the man next door. . and a cheery sound we - miss the most, now that It is gone, the "cloppity-clop-clop" of the 6 o'clock horse, . Let me tell you about that horse, and what he came to mean In a big tenement city, and I'm sorry I can't give you his real name, because I don't know it. One summer morning several years ago, shortly alter we had moved into an apartment In a big IB-story brick but by the East Rlv. er, I woke to see my wife stand ing by the window with an alarm clock in her hand. "Who are you going to drop that clock on?" I asked. "Don't you know It's against the law to bean anybody from a high window In New York?" "Don't always talk so silly, Rover," said Frances. ''I'm wait ing to set this clock. It stopped during the night." "What are you going to set it by the morning star?" "No," she said, "I'm going to set it by the 6 o'clock horse." "What in the world Is that?" "Come and see." I yawned my way to the win dow. A few moments later there Bounded a distant "cloppity-clop-clop." It grew louder. Then around the corner came a small elderly horse, driven by a small elderly man sitting atop a small elderly ice wagon shaded by a faded small elderly beach umbrella. As the little dark sorrel animal ' and the creaking vehicle passed beneath our window, Frances set the clock and said: "That's the 8 o'clock horse. Haven't you heard him before? He's never more than a minute or two off any morning. "He makes such a cute sound. And he looks so patient and nice. Sometimes that old man leans over and hits him with a little stick, but the 6 o'clock horse doesn't pay any attention to him. He al ways goes at just that samo pace ... listen to him." "Clippity -clop -clop, o 1 1 p p i t y clop-clop," rang the hoofs of the 6 o'clock, horse. After that I henrd him many a morning. In New York you aren't allowed to keep even a Shetland, pony In an apartment; you have to fall in love with other people's horses. And the 6 o'clock norse became a pleasant part of aur lives. In, summer he hauled Ice, in winter wood. But every day he was punctual. . "He is just as punctual going oack in tne evenings," said Fran, cis. "He comes by at exactly 5:30 I wish I had married a man as punctual as that little horse." "Clippityi elop- clop" through tne years, tnrough shower and sun shine, through fog and mist and snow. Wagon and man grew old er, and so did the 6 o'clock horse. But he trotted at the same steady pace "Cloppity-clop-clop." In the neighboring big brick hut our friends, Harriet and Ken Por ter, had a small daughter. Pattv. The little girl fell In love with the horse, and waited for it each evening. - "She can hear it before any of us," said her mother, "and cries to be lifted to the window to see It." Someone else along the route must have loved the small horse, too, because It sometimes would be wearing a gay ribbon in its clop-clop" by on its way home. Patty called the ribbon "the horsle's hay." One night I made plans to get up early the next morning and take down some carrots and sugar lumps for the 6 o'clock horse. But I overslept, and awoke to hear his hoofbeats already fading away, and somehow after that I never managed to translate my good in tention into a deed. The other morning I awakened early and lazily watched the clock's hand crawl past 6 o'clock. No "cloppity-clop-clop." At 6:15 I got up and went to the window and looked down. The street was bare in the cold dawn. No horse. I turned and saw Francis looking at me. 'I wondered when you'd miss him," she. said. "He hasn't been by for weeks." wnat nappenea?" Nobody In the neighborhood knows," said Frances. "They all three were so old and looked so worn. Maybe the, wagon just fell to pieces. . . or the old man died. , or tne little norse fen down and couldn't get up. Patty still goes to the window to look for him." A brightness left the morning and every morning since then. There was such a braveness about that steady "cloppity-clop-clop". . it was like losing something you never owned but felt In your heart belonged to you, a feeling you often have about small things that give a stability to your life in a big city. This is my carrot. . . these my lumps of sugnr. . . to the 6 o'clock horse. . . given, as many things in this workd arc, too late. ... and I think of this as I lie in my bed in tho morning, listening for a "cloppity-clop-clop". . . and hear ing only the wall of a Siren, the clonk of a garbage can, the snore of the man next door.

When this is not done an unexpected event may cause some emotional distress. It should be explained that the changes about to take place are the result of increased activity on the part of those hormones or internal glands which have to do with fem ininity. , After adolescence begins, and usuolly for two or three years thereafter, girls are normally somewhat more nervous and less consistent In their behavior than mey were Deiore or will be later. Parents should not wnrrv nhnnt Ihe seeming personality change which often occurs.

The Three Types of Returns in an effort to fit the tax returns to the differing needs of the more than 50,000,000 persons who must file them, three types of returns have been provided Form 1040A, Short-Form 1040, and Long-Form 1040. The law expects you to pay your correct tax no. more no less. It will pay you to think for a moment which of these three types of re turns is the best and easiest form in your case. To do this you need to consider the size of your income, Uie sources of your income, your eligibility to deduct travel and re imbursed, expenses from wages, and the size of your nonbusiness deductions, sucn as contributions, medical expenses, etc. The tax table used in computing the tax on Form 1040 A and Short-From 1040 automatically allows you approxi mately 10 per cent of your Income to cover your nonbusiness deduc tions. , Income Less Than $5,000 1. Form 1040A This is the sim plest return of the three. If you file this form, you do not need to figure your own tax. From your District Director of Internal Rev enue will figure your tax for you. and send you a bill or a refund. You may use the Form 1040 A if your total income was less than $5,000 and consisted entirely of wages -reported on , Witholdlng Statements (Form W-3) or of such wagos and not more than $100 total of other wages, dividends, and in terest, all of which must be en tered on the tax return. You may not use Form 1040A but must file your return on Form 1040 if (1) you had any income from other source such as annuities, rents, royalties, a business or profession, farming, transactions in securities or other and trusts, or (2) you claim the status of head of a household, or (3) you wish to deduct travel or re imbursed expenses from your wages. 2. Short-Form 1040 Form 1040 may be. used either as a short form or as a long form. The short form is simpler than the long form. It differs from Form 1040A In that (a) you must find your own tax; (bl you may include income from sources not eligible for reporting on Form 1040A; and (c) you may deduct travel and reimbursed ex penses from your wages.' There fore, if your Income was less than $5,000 and you do not desire to itemize nonbusiness deductions (contributions, interest, etc.), find your tax from the table on the back of the form, tear off the first sheet and file it as a Short-Form 1040. 3. Long-Form 1040 If your non business deductions are more tnan 10 per cent of your income, you will ordinarily save money by item izing your deductions on Long- Form 4040., You will then figure your tax according to the computa tion on page 3, and file the entire form, which Is called a long-form return. If your nonbusiness deduc tions arc so close to 10 per cent that you arc m doubt which is the better form, try both the short form and the long form to make sure. . .. . The address of your District Direc tor of Internal Revenue is . Room 203, Federal Building. His telephone number is 4264. Sam Dawson JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON IB Sen. Taft, if he were alive today, would prob ably be pleased at the unfolding ideas of the Elsenhower adminis tration on military strategy and military spending. In some, ways they sound very much like his own. Taft made a major Senate speech Jan, 6, 1951, in the midst of rearmament and the Korean War, cautioning against commit ting American troops to foreign battlcilelds and telling what he thought military expenses should be. He envisioned an armed force of about 3,200,000 men with mili tary expenses running around .40 billion dollars a year, and the biggest emphasis on air and naval power. In his budget message to Con gress yesterday President Eisen hower estimated military expen ses for the fiscal year beginning in July at 37 ' i billion. And the President said he ex pected the armed forces, now 3,400,000 men, to be cut to 3,300,000 by July and to just a little over three million by July 1935. According to the plans outlined by .Elsenhower, the biggest spend ing would be on the Air Force, with the Navy text and the Army last. ' Taft had said: "We should go just as far toward preparing for war as we can go in time of peace without (Weakening ourselves in the long run , , . ' - Not only is an all-powerful air force the best possible dctense for the United States, but is also the greatest deterrent to war." In his message Eisenhower said his budget "is aimed at providing strong military position which can be maintained over the extend- 1 ed period of the uneasy peace .... "It points toward the creation, maintenance and full exploitation of modern air power . . , This budget . . , provides greater ex penditures for air power in the fiscal year 1955 (starting July 1) than in any year since the close of World War II." Taft, in his 1951 speech, said'! "What I object to is undertaking to fight that battle (against world wide communism) on the vast land areas of the. continent of Ell- I rope or the continent of Asia where I wo are at the greatest possible disadvantage In a war with Rus sia." On Jan. 13, 1954, Secretary of State Dulles made a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations In New York. He said that If the enemy was allowed to pick his own place for aggression, and tne united States attempted to meet him there. It would have to be ready to fight on land everywhere, as well as at sea and in the air. . But that course will not be fol lowed in the future, Dulles said. No longer could an enemy fight solely on a battleground of his own choosing. And last month Eisenhower an nounced two U. S. divisions would be withdrawn from Korea. . Taft had said an all-powerful air force is the greatest "deterrent" to war. Dulles said: "The way to deter aggression Is- for ,the free community to be willing and able to respond vigorously at places and with means of his own choos ing." How? By "massive retaliation," Dulles said, which meant by the Air Force. He didn't mention "with atomic weapons" but that seemed Implicit In tho word "massive." The Elsenhower administration doesn't share Taft's views on mil itary alliances. Where Taft voted against the North Atlantic Pact, which put this country Into alli ance with Western Europe the ad ministration is all for it. Before Korea the Truman ad ninistration had depended, not on and power, but on air power as a deterrent to Russia, and on Euro loan alliances. It was after Korea hat 'e huge military buildup and expense began. NEW YORK tm Uncle Sam just like many American fam iliesis having budget troubles. Like many an American fam ily, his lricome may shrink some in the coming year. Like most Americans, he finds it hard to cut down as he'd like on the things that cost him money. , It appears that once again, like many an American family, he'll have to go a little bit further Into debt. Tax collections in the next few months are going to be whopping. But after June 15, they're going to be pretty slim pickings. One reason is that corporations must pay 90 per cent of their, in come taxes by June 15. The taxes they will be paying will be on their earnings in 1953. And for many a corporation 1953 profits were quite high. Many of them will have to nay both the- regular 62 per cent In come lax and also whatever extra they owe in excess profits taxes. ine present Treasury deficit, close to 10 billion dollars, should fall to around three billion dollars by the end of June, most finan cial experts feel. Some think the Treasury may be pleasantly sur prised by the size of the March and June payments and have an even smaller deficit when It closes Ihe books June 30 on its fiscal year. If so, some feel that Congress may be encouraged to cut faxes even further. And that the Treasury- doesn't want. The Treasury feels that in the fiscal year starting July 1. its tax collections will be off around five billion dollars from this year. There ore two reasons for that one happy for the taxpayer and tne other not so happy. laxes were cut Jan. I on In dividual incomes for 1954. The ex cess profits tax died then, too. And some 50,000 corporations won't be paying a total of better man a billion dollars into the Treasury. If Congress doesn't reneg, the ordinary corporation income tax rate will drop to 47 per cent from us present 52 per oent on April 1. Some contend that the drop in corporation taxes will act as an incentive for business and help to raise its gross earnings, and hence treasury income. The . not so happy reason the Treasury looks for smaller collec tions next year is the general feel ing that business won't be as good as last, tnat unemployment will be higher, . workweeks shorter, and individual and corporate in comes generally smaller. There won't, be so much money around lor me Treasury to tax. reiPAY, JANmn. Tax Line Holding Plea Runs Into Dem0 Opposition In Hou By CHARLES F. BARRETT WASHINGTON Ifl President Elsenhower's plea to Congress to hold the line against any further cuts in major tax rates smacked into strong opposition today. Several key Democrats planned a floor fight in the almost evenly divided House for a plan to slice 2ii billion dollars a year off per sonal Income taxes, relieving sev en million taxpayers from any pay ment at all. And some Republicans and Dem ocrats alike predicted Congress ,iM iwmlt at least slight re ductions In both corporation in come and excise tax rates. Elsenhower, In his annual budget message yesterday, strongly en dorsed a project for rewriting al most all the nation's tax laws. His proposals would reduce revenue two billion dollars annually when they reach lull effect, but this would be done through many changes In various deductions, al lowances and other technical points not through major rate changes. American Farm Bureau Convention Highlights Given By Mrs. Tofell New School For Pendleton Slated k PENDLETON (fl A new high school for Pendleton apparently will go up on the present site of the Pendleton Country Club. The school board offered to buy the site for $175,000, and the Coun try Club voted Wednesday night to accept. The Country Club has another site in mind for a new golf course. The high school is scheduled to open for the 1956-57 school year. ' Associated Women of Farm Bu reau who met recently at the Fairground auditorium heard Mrs. Erma Tofell relate personal glimpses of the national convention of American Farm Bureau feder ation which she attended in Chi cago lost December. Mrs. Fred Rueck, new state chairman of the Associated Wom en, outlined the five-point program of work planned and adopted at the convention. "The purpose of Farm Bureau," she states, "is to build a better way of life. By participating in its many activities, we have an opportunity for greater self-education." The importance of assuming our responsibilities of citizenship was emphasized by Mrs. Rueck, who added. "We must work for freedom so that freedom may work for us. Community betterment is the natural expression of the rural philosophy of self - government and takes its place on the program. "Farm Bureau is also inter ested in various programs of health. In addition, members must continue their work In internation al relations since world peace can come only through worldwide un derstanding and respect." Mrs. Margaret Holliday, presi dent of the Klamath Associated Women, represented the Oregon Farm Bureau at the Toronto, Can ada, meeting of the County Wom en of the World last August. Mrs. Iva Kllpatrick, county secretary of Associated Women, attended as representative of the Oregon ex tension council. Mrs. Leland Cheyne and Mrs. Earl Kerns reported on the bi cycle sent by the group, with the cooperation of Poole's Sporting Goods Store, to the Fairvlew home at Salem. Klamath county has a large percentage of cases at this home. To obtain piore bicycles for the patients, the farm women ask anyone interested in making a do nation to call Mrs. Cheyne at 8763 or Mrs. Kerns at 3048. Persons interested in contributing to the Associated Women's fund for paint and repairs and cost of shipping bicycles to Uie home are also asked to get In touch with either Mrs. Cheyne or Mrs. Kerns. Next meeting of the Farm. Bu rca will be held Monday. February 1, starting at 10 a.m. at the fair grounds. Potluck lunch at noon and each family Is asked to bring own table service.

Music will be by the Red Barn's popular western orchestra, Peewee Stldham and his Rainbow Melody Boys. Dancing is from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. - Fenwick was snared by the long arm ot the law this week with the result that he is $10 poorer, the March of Dimes $10 richer. Came about thisaway: California State Highway Patrol man Walter Meyer of Tulelake flagged down Fenwick for driving his 1940 model dump truck with: One headlight out. No tail light. No clearance lights. No stop lights. No reflectors on the rear. "Guilty as all get-out, your hon or," admitted Fenwick cheerfully when he appeared Wednesday be lore Justice Les Chase in answer to the length citation. "Holy smoke," exclaimed Jus tice Chase. "You're even admitting that your middle name is Am brose!" And forthwith he pronounced sen tence of five doys in the county Joll. . . "suspended on condition that you contribute $10 to the March of Dimes without delay." Fenwick not only contributed to the fund but also repaired all the deficiencies on his truck.
