The fishermen up around the

Mrs. J. B. Barley Joe Barley Jr.
Proprietors
In our last column I pointed to
several examples of where final
costs for water projects have
vastly exceeded the authorized
costs upon which the projects were
started. As a basis of policy, the
Outdoor Writers Association has
made the demand that this partic
ular issue be thoroughly brought
into the open because those who
foot the bill have a right to
know, within some close limits,
what the cost of the various
schemes will ultimately become.
The Outdoor Writers resent the
half-truth representations made
in practically every preliminary
plan and estimate of projects
which at the time of their incep
tion it Is known they will be ex
panded, enlarged, and faced with
compounding, pyramiding figures.
The writers lay the blame direct
ly upon the doorstep of Congress
for this situation.
I have given the Trinity River
Diversion story. In an earlier col
umn of this series, as it has un
folded so far and mentioned the
great rapidity at which prelim
inary estimates can be com
pounded. When the Bureau of
Reclamation asked for authoriza
tion of this project they started
the ball rolling high at $300,000,000.
The Bureau cannot plead ignor
ance of expanding costs in this in
stance, because, when they Illed
for the water rights they were
forced to reveal the cards they
were holding up their sleeve. As
is tne case oi many sucn oiner
proposals the story presented for
authorization waa lust the "Ini
tial Phase."
There must be some protection
to the American public against
agencies running hog-wild, boost
ing plans and costs, pleading ad'
dltlons on the theory that the ad
ditions are necessary "to save
the investment' , of money al
reariv snent. The. lack of full ore.
sentatlbn of what Is ultimately
contemplated at the time authori
zation Is requested, the fabulous
preliminary underestimating of
costs, the doubling, trebling, quad
rupling of costs over those on
which Congress has authorized a
project, are conditions the Outdoor
Writers feel are outrageous and
intolerable.
Therefore as a matter of pol
icy the Outdoor Writers state:
'It should he an unvarying re
quirement that such agencies as
the Army Engineers and the Bu
reau of Reclamation present both
the final and inclusive plans of
a project in all ramifications be
fore authorization is given, and
final costs be estimated, with
only a narrow limit of variation
In plans and costs allowable, fur
thermore, a deviation beyond that
limit shall not be made except for
full resubmission of plans and
estimates and reauthorization."
The Outdoor Writers, likewise
believe that it is wrong to let the
agency which proposes a project
become the final Judge and Jury
and therefore they have stated as
a pari or policy:
'As either a part of this policy,
(the paragraph quoted above), or
a major alternative, there
should be set up an Impartial
board of reyiew to Judge the sound
ness, feasibility, and, economic
vslue involved in any project.
The Judgement of such board shall
not only determine action on the
initial proposal before authoriza
tion but shall also govern through-
get something out of mjk weight
control sojourns besides bubble
baths and starvation diets.
If I'm poisoned on my next
visit, will some kind friend
please send this proof of motive
to Scotland Yard.

The path before anyone who dis
cusses water and water use is
not a smooth one, it is a rocky
trail beset with conflicts all along
the way. In an earlier column' I
mentioned the controversy between
those who are fully convinced that
water management must start
with full utilization of watershed
management facilities and the
downstream, "Big Dam" advo
cates. In this controversy we have
a clear cut illustration of the "en
gineering," constructional i ap
proach of "doing something" with
water, and the opposite thesis of
not trying to overpower Nature
and "harness" natural forces but
trying to fully utilize potentials in
the natural forces - and facilities
present.'
in starting water management
by conservation methods - applied
to an entire watershed, man is
working with and putting to use
the natural forces of nature. By
the other, down-stream approach,
man is trying to impose' statutes,
court decrees, blue prints and
mechanical devices to make na
ture fit Into the template of
man's devices.
Nature has the final word when
the works of man, are contrary to
natural law.
One example will suffice until
and unless the natural facilities of
watersheds are fully used and en
hanced. In conformity with na
tural law, every down-stream res
ervoir will become a mud flat
and reservoir sites are not ex
pendable. And even from the hour
a reservoir Is put in operation, sil
tatlon of the river channel above
the reservoir will occur, waterlog
ging of adjacent lands will result.
more dlsasterous flooding-out of
communities above the reservoir
will follow in valley land locations
than will be stopped down-stream
below the dam. The Outdoor Writ
ers propose:
"As a basic policy, all natural
facilities and functions contribut
ing to water resource management
should be given highest prece
dence constructional features
should be adjuncts to this basic
Natural-force planning." .

Telling The Editor
. NOT TRUE
We would like to tell the people
of Klamath Falls that we have
received absolutely no public
assistance since our house burned
down. We have provided every
bit or food and lights etc., that
our family has had.
The help that the people of
Klamath Falls sent to Keno went
to the Korean war relief and
never was given to us. Mr.
Fields and myself have had part
time work to help with car pay
ments and school supplies.
"Tie help that we received here
came from the Klamath Falls
Exchange Club. Any one who
thinks it's any of their business
may come out to our house and
see if we actually have anything
that we were given, by them, if
we have it and you think we don't
need It we will be glad to return
it. The lumber Mr. Fields worked
for, Dr. Ralph Stearns gave us
two windows and Loreni gave us
windows. The Kalpine Lumber
Company also gave, to help. -
Now the nosey person who was
too cowardly to sign their name
to a post card written to Mrs.
Strauberg of Keno, asking her. to
call the Klamath Falls credit
association and that we had filed
bankruptcy in 1953, that we had
received welfare for the past 30
years and that we took all we
could get from people then moved
on. are very definitely liars.
We have 'had to accept help
two or three times in the past
four years, before that my husband
was steadily employed by one
company. As for the bankruptcy
it is perfectly true and was
absolutely necessary. It's also true
that it was the second time. The
first time was from bad advice
but the second one was necessary.
Now a collection agency has
filed a suit for a Judgement we
have no Job and if our wages
are to be attached we will find
it impossible to keep on If we
find one. Our kids have taken
the slurs that they were living on
charity long enough and I want
nosey people to know that we are
not accepting welfare If we starve.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. George Fields

P.S. If anyone don't believe
we are not getting public assis
tance they may call the welfare
office. M. F.
ber of older chronic patients, VA
has intensified its work in physi
cal medical rehabilitation and is
increasing its emphasis on care of
geriatric patients. VA said that it
is using many relatively new re

still are under test.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK

The Doctor Says
By EDWIN F, JORDAN, M.D.
"How doea a person usually act
in the midst of a nervous break
down?" a reader asks. "One day
when I was pouring out my trou
bles to my sister-in-law about my
nasty landlady, I suddenly lost all
control of myself. I dropped my
baby to the floor, started to scream
and cry, and suddenly lost my
senses. ,
I woke up in bed feeling numb
and with my teeth chattering. Do
you think this was a nervous break
down? I am now taking nerve,
medicine, but still get melancholy
and disgusted. I also get the
urge to end my life now and then."
No one could call this normal
behavior, and anyone with such se
vere difficulties-should be under
the care of a psychiatrist and pos
sibly In an Institution, The term,
nervous breakdown" is not ap
plied-to any single disease and
therefore it has no single group of
symptoms or single cause.
in a tragic situation sucn as mat
given by the correspondent, severe
mental illness-is obviously present.
The problem Is to find out the na
ture of the difficulty and the cause,
If possible.
The latter is particularly difficult
since the causes of most mental
conditions are not thoroughly un
derstood. Some of them may be the
result of the heavy strains and
mental tensions existing In the
world of today. A few may have
their origin in speelflo diseases or
in some Inherited pattern.
In spite of the many problems
and deficiencies In our knowledge.
the treatment - of many men
tal diseases has been greatly. Im
proved. Psychotherapy adminis
tered by brain specialists la often
of great help: rest, physical thera
py, handwork, and shock treat
ments as well , as other methods
have been used with considerable
success in many cases,
Although much still has tc ne
learned about causes, prevention
and treatment of the various kinds
of mental diseases, progress is al
ready far advanced ana even bet
ter results will surely come.
