In these dys-ot- soaring Infla tion and high prices It's a relief Indeed to scan the 1088 pages of "the great price maker." Sportsmen will find such inter esting items as Colt peacemakers for 113.20. the nearl handled model with carved grips $22.00. Best Quality double barrel shotguns, taper choke bored and with guar anteed twist barrels went for $14.76. The old reliable Winches ter 1887 could be had in sever al grades, ranging from $17 to $33. The Winchester 30-30, model 94 went for $14.75 while a Sav age model 99 was racked up at $21.50. You could also get an im ported 16th century flintlock pistol tor $2.75 or a Sears special .32 pistol for $3.25. You find everything in the darn thing, from cutters at $31.90 to harness to saddles to walking plows to Jewelry to presentation medals to women's ready to wear to silver sets, - printing presses, typewriters ($8.95) and gold filled eye glasses at $1.90. You ' could buy arsenic com plexion wafers or electric liniment for your rheumatism. - Via. Vitae, the wine of life, was recommended at 69 cents a bottle lor fatigue of any kind. There was a 20-minute ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD "Let's Clean Up the Klamath Basin" is a good slogan that every organisation in the Klamath Ba sin should adopt and set up an anU-Utterbtur committee to do something about the rising tide of filth and trash now sweeping over the countryside. This column has mentioned some activities that any organization can adopt to help this national program, mis is a campaign . that is one of com munity betterment and in which all community groups, youtn ana adult, urban and rural, can partici Date. In 1953, the California State Chamber of Commerce, Inaugu rated a roadside cleanup program envisioning --cooperation irom Chambers of Commerce, the State Highway Commission, and other groups. A large section of the Chamber's annual meeting last year was devoted to this program. Of course, our federal agencies charged with the management of much of our recreational lands are confronted with this serious prob lem. I have already written about the National Park Service. The U. S. Forest Service being much more widley distributed has a much wider spread problem to contend with. The -Service has produced a fifteen minute film on "Woodland Manners," which is available for community showings and obtain able from any of the regional of fices. . On March 13 of this year, the Forest Service -was in the final stages of planning a one-minute television film on litter to be used primarily in assisting the Conser vation Good Turn program of the Boy Scouts of America. Anti-litter reminder signs have been posted for some years by .the Forest Service at strategic places in all national forests. How ever, signs alone cannot accom plish much without public willing ness to cooperate. A few years ago this writer was unsuccessful in convincing the "Keep Oregon Green", committee that they should add to their slogan and make It read "Keep Oregon Green and Clean." I still think that the campaign is only a half s cam paign with their neglect of the cleanliness of the forest A clean forest will be a green forest, for, all too frequently it Is the act of casting away of rubbish that be comes an encouragement for fire. The Forest Service provides trash-garbage receptacles where ever possble but all too frequent ly these receptacles are disre garded by the lltterbugs who have a phobia against the use of such ids, in fact, ire positively allergic to them. The Forest Service is always ready and willing to cooperate fully with all groups having a de sire to assist with the Utter and vandalism problem. This la like, wise true of foresters working for private Industry, for foresters, everywhere are faced with the serious problem created by the Jitterbug and vandalbug. Good outdoor manners Is a basic part of the "Conservation Good Turn," a yearlong program of the Boy Scouts of America and hun dreds of thousands of Boy Scouts are signing and carrying cards pledging themselves to good out door manners. In addition to this, the Scouts are likewise distribut ing small posters for use by Scout troops to encourage cleaner out door habits. There Is a newly organized "Keep America Beautiful" group being sponsored by the container industries which is now In the process of setting up an Advisory Board of vuviicraving organua- tlons, That the problem of the Utter bug Is not strictly confined to Americans was pointed out by a spokesman for the, American Plan ning and Civic Association who cold cure and a formaldehyde sulphur torch for use in the sick room. ' For only $18 00 on the line you got a genuine "... 80 gauge cur rent Heidelberg alternating self regulating and adjusting electric belt."

And no fish. His wife got an eight pound steelhead going up the. ri er. Fishing is lousy, according to Joe. No one else was having any more luck. He's off again, though, next week. No results then he's gonna quit and sell out his gear. To heck with fishing: . ' . Ran Into one of the new red stop signs out at Alameda and the Old Fort Road the other day. They really stand out. Suppose It's because I'm used to the old yellow ones. stated, measure ot "snob" ap peal is being used by the author ities in Mexico City, who empha sise In posters around municipal parks that keeping parks clean is an evidence of the park-user's cul ture. This might seem a bit amus ing when we condescending con sider the act applied to Mexicans, yet in our own sophistry, of hav ing the greatest culture on earth, we likewise have the greatest problem. The General Federation of Wom en's Clubs make the suggestion that the best projects are cooper ative ones, participated In by many groups. This was illustrated by reference to the Virginia Asso ciate Club for Roadside Develop ment, which is undertaking a coordinated program in which many participate. ' " At the national convention of the Izaak Walton League, the General Federation of Women's Clubs re ported that the Montana and Idaho Federations of Women's Clubs are building and maintaining roadside rests, and keeping them clean with the assistance ot the Boy Scouts. Some Izaak Walton League chap ters are conducting similar pro jects; that of the women's chap ter at Anamosa, la., is an ex ample. The Izaak Walton League of America is head over heels in this campaign and the boys say that "the initials IWLA may be publicized, for anil litter campaign purposes, as meaning 'I won't lit ter America.' " The Doctor Says By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. It is unbelievable the way some people raise tneir cnudren. Recently. M. has written: "Do you think it harms a child to be slapped across the face when cor. reeling him? I know a woman who often uses this method, and I have seen her slap the child, leaving her nana prints on bis lace. 'She said It did not hurt the child to use this method, but the youngster is very nervous." There are, of course, possibili ties of real physical harm from such Incredible brutality to a neipiess child. And It is no won der that the youngster is nervous. This kind of cruel handling Is likely to have grave emotional and psychological effects all through life. A less-dlstrubed Inauirv comes irom a motner wno is concerned about her 11-ycar-old daughter. who has a 35-inch waistline, and 30-inch hips. She does not look well in her clothes and "loves to eat." Here, In all probability. Is a simple problem of eating too much. The mother should obtain advice on exactly how much and which foods her daughter should eat. One of the problems will be to keep the youngster from eating in- between meals. Another aspect of the situation is that perhaps the child Is un happy about something, and the excessive eating Is merely a meth od of comforting herself, Sympa- tnetic understanding and manage ment may be of great help. A different kind of a problem comes from Mr. M., the mother of another 11-year-old girl. Mrs. M.'s daughter has a habit ot con stantly staring at the ceiling, which is most noticeable when she awakes In the morning or is tired or upset. If this Is the only sign of any- OFFICE SPACE .

TME CeMTKAL I cWQrf HAL NEW YORK Lfl Backstage at the circus: Paul Horompo may not be the mightiest midget In history, but he Is perhaps the only one who ever whipped a tiger single handed. Paul, a slender 59-year-old min iature clown with the Ringllng .Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Cir cus, scored his one-blow knockout over the tiger here in Madison Square Garden in 1938. The battle since has become a tanbark le gend. The tiger escaped from her cage and the lust person she met was Horompo, who was dressed as one of Snowwhite's seven dwarfs and carried a wooden pickaxe on his shoulder. Paul, who Is very chivalrous. Instinctively stepped aside to let her pass as he would for any lady. User or not. But the tiger hatted, and opened the red furnace of her mouth. It looked like Paul would end his career as a tiger tidbit. The tiger had every advantage of weight, height, reach, strength, speed and age. Paul stood only a little high er than her armpits. It looked like one of the Garden's poorest mis matches. "It happened so quick I didn't have tune to think of all that," Paul recalled. "Tell you the truth. If she had gone on by me. I don't think I would have bothered her at all. "But she stopped, looked me over, sneered and started snarling. "I hated to do it, but I felt I Just had to hit her. So I swung my wooden ax and caught her square on the nose. No, I wasn't afraid. I was mad. "I guess I must have hit a nerve and stunnea her. She made a fun ny noise, and fell on her stomach with a surprised look. I was a lit tle surprised, too. "I didn't have to bit her again. Some handlers came up with nets and chains. She was so dazed she could hardly wobble back to her cope." The incident left no lasting 111 will on either side. "She never seemed to bear any grudge afterward." said Paul. "It happened so fast I don't think she ever remembered who hit her." Two ASPCA agents watch every performance of the circus to see that none of its 600 animals is abused. Raymond Mulligan, who has had this Job for a quarter century, says the circus cooperates fully with the society and dismisses grooms or handlers who mistreat animals. Of all the thousands of animals over which he has watched, Mul ligans favorite is Harry, the world's only elephant herding horse. He Is the mount of Arky Scott, superintendent of the 27 circus elephants. "Elephants sometimes get to thing unusual, the chances are that It does not come from any physical cause, though one would want to be sure that the child has not sustained any head Injury or exhibits any other significant symptoms. One would think that this pe culiarity would be outgrown with out any serious difficulty. A final Inquiry comes from Mrs. L., who says that her three-year-old daughter likes to chew up strings, ribbons, pencils, and any thing that contains rubber. She will also eat ground coffee. This taste for peculiar substan ces goes under the medical name of "pica." Its exact cause Is not known, and I believe Mrs. L. would be wise to seek the advice of her doctor.

He's been here 25 years, and so have I. Harry used to be a bareback horse, one of the steadiest they ever had. But now all he docs Is keep peace among the elephants. "If they start fighting, he goes right in among them' and brea.s it up. And If they come at him, he doesn't back olf. He gives them a nip. He'll really bite them if they don't behave. "Harry has his own boxstall right by the elephants where he can keep an eye on them. His real name Is Harold, and you know what he likes even belter than sugar? Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches. "But don't get the Idea he's a sissy. Harry's all horse and the elephants know who's boss.' Mulligan has more respect for Harry than some human elephant handlers. "The trouble we sometimes nui Into with elephant handlers." he said mildly. "Is that thev get un inferiority complex. They'd like to be wild animal trali.ers, but know thev aren't up to It. "So they sometimes get rid of their frustration by punching ihs biggest thing they can fuid whlc.i is an elephant." But nobody picks on an elephant twice when Mulligan's there. Newbry Speaks To KF Dealers "Oregon's permanent plate pro gram has saved $100,000 In metal alone each year since I put It into operation." Secretary of 8tate Earl T. Newbry told guests at the Klamath Falls Auto Dealers Asso ciation's annual dinner at Reames Golf and Country Club Tuesday evening. "There has been an equal sav ing in labor by cycling registra tion throughout the year," he added. "The public has wholeheartedly endorsed my field office pro gram," ne continued. "There are now more than 30 branches In the state to serve the people at the local level. That confirms my promise to the people six years ago that I would bring the govern, ment closer to the people. "There has been a great savings in postage, as well, by eliminating the need for correspondence. The Increase In employes was less than anticipated because every person in the field offices takes the place of one that would have been necessary hi Salem. "I am a proponent of efficiency' in government," the Republican candidate for nomination for gov ernorship of the state declared. "I have demonstrated that In my office by the various savings In the motor vehicle depart ment. I have in my files a letter from an officer of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Ad ministrators, of which I was 1950 president, stating that the motor vehicle administration of the state of Oregon Is one of the finest In the nation. "I propose to save taxes by efficiency in the operation of state government. That Is the only "way they can be cut," he concluded. Newbry was Introduced by Bob Meat, president of the local auto dealers association. 1954 ROUNDUP JULY 3, 4, 5 FelriravaaV Klsmath Fells By Jimmy Hatlo PROGRAMME NEVER OPENS WIS YAP ft Telling The Editor TROt'lll.l.S I wish to tell the Editor every body knows it. believe it or not. Thursday night. April 3D. 1954. 1 had a dream about Mr. Arthur F. Piqg. ago 73 years old, night club photographer. He came to my resl-ciiiu-e several limes and photo graphed my lovely flowers. I am very sorry about his hard luck. The dream explains his worry and must want some one to help him out. Very Sincerely, A Ever, Gust P. Vourchls, CHURCH FUND As we all know, a year ago the 38th ot last December the heavy snow broke down the roof of Sister Tlmms' Church, located at 351 Commercial. Since that lime Sis ter Ttmms has been holding meet ings In her own home. As the crowds are getting too large for her home. Sister Tlmms feels It Is God's time to build her church back on the same lot It was on. So Saturday, May 8, she Is hav ing a food sale. The manager of the Quality Food Store has been kind enough to let her use his store. The number Is 830 Main. Now this is where everyone can help and the people of Klamath Fells have always been so good to help those that really need help. So can't we once again do out share in helping Sister Tlmms? Sister Tlmms Is such a good. God fearing person. She always has a helpmg hand for those that need her help and many are the persons who have come to her door hungry and she has fed them: cold and she has clothed them; the hour Is never too late or the night too cold that Sister Tlmms won't get out of bed to pray for the sick or lead some soul to Christ. Creed or color make no difference to her. What she needs Is for us ladles to get behind her and make this bake sale a big success and we can do It If we. each one. will do cur pa ft. she will need cakes, pies, cookies, salads, casserole dishes and buns donated, to her. You can take them to the Quality Food Store. Sister Timms lives at 317 K.amath Avenue and her phone number Is 3-1680. It would be' so nice If every Church In town would come to her aid and God would bless them for It. She works so hard for others and let us show her how much we love her by helping her now. Let everyone who knows how to pray, pray that God will send in enough money that she can com plete her little church, so that she and her people will once again have a place to worship. So come on folks, let's not let Sister Tlmms down, let's all do our part to help her. I know that God will bless us and Sister Tlmms will be the most grateful and I thank you In ad vance. Neva Buchanan 4545 Denver Avenue Civil Defense Plan Foils CINCINNATI IsV-Clvll defense officials sent airplanes over Cin cinnati yesterday dropping leaflets which proclaimed- "This might have been a bomb." If they'd been bombs they might have hit Cincinnati. Since they were leaflets, a brisk wind carried them all out of town before they hit the ground. oTEINS v ar ah James Marlow WASHINGTON U-H you beltod him on the Jaw, Secretary at the Army Robert T. 8levens might lilt you back. Maybe not until you'd belted him a couple of times. But It would be out of character It he called you names. Ho acts like a mail born without snarl. Mild as a duck on a rock, he has sat patiently day after day while Sen. McCarthy qiilved him. tried to belittle him and questioned his honesty by urging him to be Inmost. Stevens' nubile career may be at stake in the Senate Inquiry Into McCarthy s light with Army old- clnls. And he has blinked steadily through the pounding. But lie has a habit of blinking. It adds lo his look of mildness. Only a few times has he shown any heat In answering McCarthy's questions. There may be another Stevens, one who can gasp with fury, And maybe he has made It a rule, since he's head of the Army, that In public he must be a model of self discipline. Mora likely tills Is the real Slo vens at the Senate hearing: a man with white hair and eyeglasses, both of them always In place. One newspaper has noted he even wears the same gray sun every day. Tho Inquiry Is now In Its 11th day and he's been the same every day. Ho has never lost his temper, seldom showed Impatience and never barked at McCarthy although a few times he's been curt. It might seem that a man Htco Stevens, who has served In the Army, worked lor the government uud been a board member of some of the btiigest corporations, might be a little harsher under lire. He seems uicapable of It, He has answered questions "yes" or "no" sometimes, sometimes been round about and sometimes been so vague that he had to be urged to gel to the point by McCarthy and Ray H. Jenkins, special counsel o the Investigating subcommittee. From the records, and the story he tells. McCarthy and his aides belled 8trvens twice before he belled back. He didn't publicly take a stand against McCarthy until, he said, the senator Insulted a general. And the report In which he aald Mc Carthy and his aides applied pres sure to get special treatment for a draftee wasn't released until months after he said the pressure had been first applied. McCarthy gives another picture of Stevens, of a man working be hind the scenes lo force McCarthy lo give up his search for Commu nists In the Army. Why did Stevens delay so long In taking a stand? He says It was because of his desire to get along with McCarthy and Congress. It may be that he thought President Elsenhower wanted him ' to lean over backwards to get along. The administration Itself through moat of Its first year In otllce. when Stevens' troubles with Mc Carthy began, had set an example of trying to get along with the sen ator through one encounter after another. Stevens didn't take his stand until after the White House rela tionship with McCarthy began lo harden. Nevertheless, and not by design but by an accident of personalities, the Army may be setting McCarthy up for the old-fashioned nice-guy-tough-guy routine which police have often used. So far McCarthy has had to deal mainly with nice-talking Stevens. But If these hearings, continue, he's going to have lo tackle a couple ot tough talkers who seem perfectly happy to anarl at him. Army Counselor John O. Adams and Asst. Secretary of Defense II. Btruve Hensel are principals In this case with Stevens on the Army side. McCarthy has Ques tioned the honesty of both of them loo. He has had only a brief encount er with Adams and Hensel at this hearing so far. Hensel and Mc Carthy have looked at each other contemptuously throughout the hearing. McCarthy repeatedly treated Ste vens on a first-name basts, calling him "Bob." At the beginning of a brief exchange with Adams. Mc Carthy tried tho aame thing' on him. calling him "John." Adams showed he was In no mood for nice talk. He said: "The name to you, senator, Is Mr. Adams." FLAG TOKYO Ml The personal five star flag of Ocn. Dwight D.
