Yet, even this amount, if It was released to uie district, only about one-thirtieth of it would be able to reacn ine tnirsiy es occurring between the reservoir and the land. The thousands of dol lars of litlgaUon that has been spent over actually ouu acre ieei 01 useable water is one ol the strangest cases. of our time. The irrigators', no doubt, believe It's "the principle" of the thing and don't have the slightest hit of sym pathy for the community of Truth or Consequences, even though they well know that Uie water they de mand would never reach the fields to raise a crop In the area. This situation has led the Outdoor Writ ers to observe: ''Law, decree, any action, that can cause such greater loss than benefit In how water shall be assigned to uses. Is grlevious, basically unfair and unsound, al though It may be entirely legal." A principle of water policy was written to cover this type of situ ation. "As a basic principle," states the Outdoor Writers, "every beneficial use shall have Uio right to assign- ment of a use-right In the commun ity water wealth and should be per mitted the use of water required in proportion to the best contribution that use can make to the economy and welfare of the community as a whole. As an essentia) part of tho application of this principle, HAL ABOARD THE MAURETANIA AT BEA (TV-A pleasure cruise Is a pleasure.

In no small measure, the studies and reports have cen tered attention on Uie who-and. how nater shall be managed, rath er than on fundamentals such as this column has tried to present.

Throughout all studies there is emphasis on the need for plan ning water management and uses Uie basis of natural physio graphic units Uiat are the water sheds. This is self-evident; there Is agreement on this point by all Uie conflicting interests. Then we come to the clash, of differences of opinion as to how the machinery may be set up to achieve the end.

And why do we broadcast how danger ous an Insect spray can be alter a scries of small chudren suffer agonies and perhaps death, just from the mere touch of It on their clothing? I am now referring, of course, to the last couple of news items regarding boUi Oregon and California children who have died or are about to die, because some one was careless and left a deadly poison within reach of their small and curious hands. - I think we should all go on an Immediate campaign to make this world a safe place In which to raise our children. It must be ter rible for a mother who has raised her child, only to have him shot down in war, or by a policemaus bullet. But think how much more terrible it must be for Uie mother who has to watch her small and Innocent child writhe in agony be cause of someone's carlessness! Those of us who have success fully "herded" our children Uirough tneir babyhood and child hood without too many scars - to remind tncin ot paui, sickness or death, now look at our teenagers and fret and fume about hot rods and late hours. What if we had the added buracn of wondering whether they'd fallen Into a well or gotten locked Into an aban doned icebox, or were playing around . with commercialized poi son gas? Remember the sudden sharp fear we had when Junior walked in with a stick of dynamite or a percussion cap? Remember how we sweated out each fourth of July, always hoping It wouldn't be out child who lost his evesicht or had to have his lingers ampu tated because of firecrackers and so forth? We've been much too complacent in the past. We've al ways had Uie feeling "it can't hap pen to us!"

Let s revive the old saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" and stop making martyrs out of our children! nure little Jimmy Jones got his name in the papers, but he had to sulfocale to death In .an old ice box to do It! And how about Susie Smith? Remember her? Because she died thirty feet un derground, most communities P'01""" UP shovels and filled In old abandoned wells and mineshafts. And how about Tommy Brown?

Must we wait until a child dies before such death traps re ceive the publicity they deserve? Can't we be warned before in stead of after? I don't imagine one person hi ten thousand ever even heard about this commercialized poison gas be fore now. How about bringing these tilings into the open before tragedy strikes? no I'm not a crusader or a busybody. I'm just one of those lucky ones who survived Just such an occurrence in my own child hood. My own possible tragedy was caused by the spray thev used on melons around 35 years ago.

Mrs. Gladys Rcece 18 Nevada Avenue Klamath Falls, Oregon PARTNERSHIP One reads so much lately of the farmers waiting to sec what the Government is going to do. Do they not realize there is a higher power than Government that determines uieir success or failure? To plow is to pray to plant is to prophesy and the harvest an swers and fulfUlsl The farmer who tills tne sou is perhaps of all peo ple most directly dependent upon God for his supply. Where the far mer sows one bushel of grain, he reaps many bushels; where he plants one sack of potatoes, he har vests many .sacks. The farmer has to be a man of great faith. I would like to enclose a copy of verse by Rowena Cheney Uiat may help some to keep this faith. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD The tiller of the soil . Works In an empty field, With quiet faith in God Knowing the land will yield Abundance. Day by day He finds God's laws revealed In growing things and knows The truth that as he sows He reaps. He guides his plow Over the fertile land Seeing the autumns wealth Of crops that he has planned While proudly serving God With willing heart and hand. Welcoming budding spring And every waking thing. He lifts his voice in song. Tnankful and proud to be In partnership with God. And privileged to see His love made manifest In plant and flower and tree Fruitation and reward For servants of the Lord.

For all your Drug and Prescription Needs SiWlOhUq 5th and MAIN The Doctor Says By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. Today's first letter deals wiU. a condition which sounds simple, but which is really complicated, and requires the most expert Judgment and treatment. Q I should like to know If there is any safe and sure way of remov ing a mole from the face? Mrs. O. A There is. more than one kind of mole, and some should be left alone and others should be treat ed because of the danger that Uiey might become cancerous. If any thing is done the most expert at tention is advisable. At the last meeting of the American Medical Association I saw an exhibit on this subject indicating that when Moles should be removed at all they should be cut out with a wide margin between Uie edge of tne mole and the normal skin. Wheth er Uiis or some other method is used depends on the knowledge and Judgment of the physician, usual ly a surgeon or skin specialist. Q Why should my husband, who has been somewhat bald for sev eral years, suddenly lose Uie bal ance of his hair? Mrs, O. A It is hard to say, but the most likely explanation is a con dition known as alopecia areata, or when all the hair Is Involved, alopecia totalis. The cause of this condition is not known, but in a high proportion of cases, Uie hair win eventually grow back. Q Please discuss the value of B6 vitamin in the prevention nf hardening of the arteries. R.B. A I am not aware that vitamin B6 or any other vitamin or drug has been proved beyond doubt to be of any value whatever In. pre venting hardening, of the arteries. Q Is there any cure for ring worm of Uie toenail? Mrs. D.E. A When ringworm or dermalo phytosis attacks' the toenails or fingernails it becomes exceed ingly difficult to treat successful ly. The skin specialists employ var ious measures, often including X- ray treatments, and eventually the condition can usually be cleared up. Q What is catalepsy and what causes it? Is there a treatment? Mrs. A.W. A This is a peculiar condi tion in which the muscles become rigid so that if some other person moves an arm or a leg, for ex ample, the limb will remain in the position In which It has been placed. It Is considered to be a symptom of mental disease and consequently the treatment -de pends on how successfully the un derlying mental condition can be attacked.

Phone 5530 or 7551 POOLE'S M,7r be NEW YORK Wl X high school freshman came home Uiis week with Instructions to Interview his narents on this: "Are commodl- Ues worth what's being asked for them?" "They certainly aren't, ,r said her mother, with her mind on tne price of coffee and butter. "I should say not," said her father, with bis mind on finished goods made from commodities- like a new suit he wants but which costs more than his present threadbare one did when new, and the new car he'd like but which now costs twice what his first one did 30 vears ago. The parents were talking like the consumers tney are. The grocer, Uie dairy farmer, the clothing manufacturer and Uie car makers have different answers. They would try to Justify present higher prices by the postwar rise in wages, transportation, raw ma terials, taxes and all operating costs in general. They would be talking like pro ducers. And as for the profits made along the way from raw material to store-Mvell, producers must live, too, and the cost of liv ing is up for everyone. The economics teacher who posed the question might answer that in a free market place, where there were no controls, . a com modity Would be worth what you're willing to pay for it. The intensity of the consumer's need and Uie amount of the producer's supply would settle the price plus, of course, the state of the con sumer's pocketbook. ,, . . ', But just one year after price controls were officially declared dead, the price of many commod ities is far from free of govern mental Intervention. For years Uie Brazilian govern ment has tried to increase or guard the price of coffee. For years the U.S. government has supported the price of butter. It also to all purposes controls the price of sugar, by juggling the amount that may come into the country. - The price of the wool in your suit isn't entirely free of controls either here or abroad. Price sup ports, tariffs, quotas and even for eign exchange controls that keep various currencies from reaching their true levels all play a part in the price of wool ' The big part of tne cost of a suit, however,' is the labor all the way from shearing the sheep to stitching In Uie sleeves. And labor is up. Just as commodity prices are. Even were the market free of controls, commodities probably wouldn't drift down to where they once were. The dollar Just doesn't seem destined to get back Its old purchasing power. There's too much built-in Inflation. Perhaps the economics teacher had in mind what commodity men are talking about: Whether the business dip will carry commodity prices down with it, and at the same rate of decline. But most of Uie Korean price Inflation was scwezed out of com modity prices year and more ago. Last year and so far In 1954 commodity prices, in general have stayed remarkably stable, If y'ou go by the official Indexes. There have been' spectacular rises like the one in coffee. And conspicuous weakness like that in some metals. But on the whole, after once adjusting to peacetime demand and supply, commodities appear to have leveled off. Many commodity men now be lieve that prices will fluctuate with the seasons but show no great concerted trend hi either direction, barring a new war or war scare. They think, or at least hope, that consumers will go on ictlng as If they believed "commodities are worth what's being asked tor thtm."

MacArthur wUl have had as much public attention as ire hearing of Ben. jacuaruiy a fight with the Army. Former President Truman stripped the Pacific war hero' of his Far East Command because he thought MacArthur was getting to big for his brttcnes. resident Eisenhower has taken a stand against the Wisconsin Republican sr.atot for somewhat the same reason. MacArthur, with many admir ers, was a possible candidate for p csldent when Truman brought him home. McCarthy, with many admirers, has been mentioned as a possible candidate someday, al Uiough he says no. Tl.ere Uie similarity is likely to end. McCarthy's dispute .with the Army revolves around a simple central question of honesty: who's telling the truth? A difference of opinion on handling Uie Korean War was the main point In the Truman-MacArthur quarrel. There were deep feelings on both sides In MacArthur's case, just as there are In McCarthy's, and a congressional committee could have made a political sham bles of an investigation into the treatment of the general. But Uie Senate's Armed Serv ices Committee, under the chair manship of Sen. Russell (D-Ga), took charge and conducted the hearings with a dignity still talked about. All the witnesses had a chance to speak their piece fully and fair ly. The senators, sitting across the table, except for a few intense moments, remained calm. . There had been suggestions that the same committee, now under tne cnairmansnip of sen. Salton- stall (R-Mass), handle the McCarthy-Army case. It didn't, and baitonstaii snowed no desire to get into it. McCarthy insisted that his own investigations subcommittee take over. He got what he wanted, stepping down as chairman lor Astronomer) Extension Division Oregon Higher Education System Fresh off the Harvard Univer sity press at Cambridge, Mass., comes a new book, Climatic Change. It consists of 22 interesting chapters, written by as many scien tists, each a noted authority in his ( her", in one case) field. Many evidences show us that our old earth during the past two bil lion years has undergone many climatic changes. At times, Uie Artie regions for long periods were so warm that life such as we know In the temperate zones existed there. Later huge ice sheets (glaciers) covered large sections ot tne earth's surface which we now know as land areas. Glaciers are still known in some Darts of the world,-but we are not at present in - an ice age. t ne end of the most recent major glacial period Is placed at about 6500 B.C., by one of Uie authors. How do we know about these past changes of climate? One chapter of this Interesting book dis cusses the soil changes due to cli mate. Fairly recent changes are de termined from the inspection of the anunal growth of the rings in trees. The study of fossils, those buried remnants of life extending back In to millions of years ago, are splen did Indicators of ancient climates. Land plants and they have been on earth for more than a billion years are the very best sources of information of changing condi tions. Since It Is abundantly established that terrestrial climate has gone through many ice ages and periods cf unusual warmth, we naturally ask, 'What has been the cause of all Uiis?" The general concensus of the authors Is that It was due to changes In the radiation received from the sun along with fluctu ations in land elevations. Now what can cause an Increase about once every quarter billion years In solar heat received?
