If you haven't already gotteu
out and around the Basin a little
this spring I heartily advise you
to waste no more time, but climb
In the car and take off.
With the unusual spring weather
we've been treated to the country
has undergone a complete change
from Its winter drabness and you
. can really get the breath ol sum
, mer. .
Drove up to Fort Klamath and
. Chiloquin a few days ago, pausing
. here and there along the road.
Found that Crooked Creek was
just as clear as it ever was, the
hatchery there was in good shape
. and plenty of tempting brook trout
to be seen. That little hatchery
, by the way, Is one of the prettiest
spots in our high country. There
j are a lot of people who have never
visited it, but when they do they'll
really be surprised.
i.. The Wood River Valley, the
. most wonderful cattle land in the
'. West, is beginning to look normal
now that truckload after truckload
'. of cattle are coming; in for the
summer fattening. Those big lush
meadows are a sight for sore eyes.
Quincy Buell at the hotel in
. Fort Klamath is all set with his
summer stock of stories for the
, tourists and says it looks like a
gieat year. Hope so. Even if it
' isn't, his stories are well worth

ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
Perhaps the hardest lesson we
' have to learn is the one that the
world grows up about us, the
change is so gradual that seldom
do we actually become aware of
the changes taking place. Then
comes tne aay wnen we become
aware that someone else desires
to share the resources we .have
always considered to be our very
own. It is than we become con
cerned for our future and seek to
establish our rights so that we
may continue to enjoy a monopoly
of the resource we have always
considered our - own single-use
source of wealth. You bet I We
- don't like these newcomers crowd
ing us out of our time honored pas
tures and so we roll up our sleeves
ana light back.
Instead of solving our problems
irom an over-au use viewpoint, wc
devote more and more attention
to getting the most important pop
tlons of our resources for our own
groups. Lobbies and pressure
groups flood Washington and the
state capitals. Tons of "literature'
are distributed. Millions of dol
lars are spent to persuade the
public to a single-use way ot
thinking.
It is an old saying, exceedingly
chop - worn, history repeats
useu, ana I cannot out compare
our position today with conditions
a century ago, when all the land
belonged to the Indian and be,
considered the world of his ken,
his single use resource. Today we
find ourselves in the moccasins of
the Indian, for like the Indian,
we see resources that we have
considered our very own being
gradually appropriated for other
uses than what brings us direct
financial returns. Like the Indian
we have our war-dances but being
civilized we call them public
meetings; and then we send our
warriors out to battle against
uie oncoming tide, oi course times
nave slightly changed in a nun
dred years or so and we no long'
er strike at the columns of cov
ered wagons, for our battle ground
is now in the halls of government
ana our warriors are committees,
commissions, lobbyists, public rela
tion experts, politicians and com
mon citizens.
To anyone who takes time to think
wis situation through, the convic
tion must become apparant, the
battle of single-use is as fruitless
as was the struggle ot the Indian
to maintain his traditional way
of life. In my own short exper
ience in observing this perennial
struggle I have watched the war
riors head bravely Into the fray,
armed with their trusty brief
cases, mount their trusty steed, a
Pullman or stratocrulser, and
rush valiantly to battle. I have
seen them return jubilant at win
ning a minor skirmish but more
often, however, in recent times,
the return is empty handed and
the brave warrior is a baffled if
not beaten man, appalled at the
forces arrayed against him. only
the politician preserves the air of
optimism.

A report from Ducks Unlimited

has delayed nesting of both geese
and ducks, but the outlook for the
future :s still good.
Temperatures as low as 31 be

tight in spite of it.
There were reports that some of
the birds had headed south again
following the unseasonal weather.
which had he!d up the migration
until mid-April, but there were
still tidal waves of birds coming
in whenever the weather warmed
up a trifle.
On the lakes the birds were
sticking to the open water In the
center and constantly moving to
keep it open. 1
Despite the cold weather, the
outlook is bright for a good hatch

drought danger and improve wa

FRANK
I sat waching Old Seneca on a
spring spree. It was one of those
sou'easters that whip the deep blue
water into restless grandeur and
crest the waves with rain bowed
wbitecaps.
Not a craft was in sight, yet
imagination pictured unalarmed
Senecas out there in their birch
bark canoes; their women on the
beach, papooses lashed to their
backs, grinding corn between
stones and tending the fire over
which to broil their braves' catch
of luscious trout.
The white man couldn't go fish
ing that day. It wouldn't be trout
season for a week yet, but that
never hampered the Indian. The
lake, streams and forests were
his, to take the fish, game and
lurs needed for his livelihood.
There still are lots of fish, even
deer, around here. But few white
men who fish Seneca could live
off the trout they can lure. Some
could, but not many.
It's not ordinary angling and no
Indians are here to tell their
secret: How one of them could,
without Seth Green rig. 300 feet
of copper wire, trick tackle, gaffs
and landing nets, in an hour with
out fail, catch enough to feast the
chiefs and sachems in the Long
House.
They may have had some laws
that punished game hogs, but
probably not, there was such
plenty. Yet there's one thing for
certain. Indians knew the mating
and spawning seasons of fish and
wild life and protected them far
better than has the white man.
Their worship of nature, and
their dependence upon it,
transcended any tribal game laws
that might have existed.
There is something about liv
ing in the old haunts of the Indian
that breeds a genuine respect for
him. I guess it's realization of the
multitude of things that he could
do with the few devices at his
command.
When you see a paleface hunter
go forth, clad In 1500 regalia,
with a 1300 repeater rifle and a
kit that represents more wampum
than the whole Seneca Tribe pos
sessed; then see him return at
night, fagged out and bramble-
covered, without a deer (and three
of them ran across your yard
that afternoon), somehow you
wonder how his forebears ever
wrcstet the area from the In
dians. Then you visualize the Indian
needing venison and deer skin.
He has already spotted a certain
buck he wants. He knows deer,
their habits, their runways.

A 40 per cent drop in tubercu
losis deaths among World War II
veterans from IMS to 1853. In
clusive, was reported by Veterans
Administration, which also said
provisional data for 1053 indicates
a further decline for that year.
Several factors In VA's Tubercu
losis Control Program brought
about the sharp drop, according
to Dr. Leo V. Schneider, Chief of
the Tuberculosis Control.
One was the new methods of
treatment for tuberculosis, with
VA, the Army and the Navy In
troducing the controlled chemo
therapy program in 1916.
The other was the extensive
TB case-finding survey program
begun in 1MB in all VA hospitals
and outpatient clinics.
These factors, plus the decline
of tuberculosis deaths In the gen
eral population, are credited with
the 40 per cent drop In TB deaths
among World War II veterans,
Dr. Schneider said.
This decline Is all the more dra
matic when weighed against the
steady rise In the TB mortality
rale among World War II veterans
that started with the beginning of
the war, Dr. Schneider said. He
put It this way:
"Since the beginning of World
War II. there was a stendy rise
In the mortality rale from tubercu
losis In the group of men ac
cepted for service in the Armed
Forces. This group, referred to as
'one of peculiar significance, ' for
it is a screened population from
which the majority, If not all, of
tuberculosis cases were removed,
had an average tuberculosis mor
tality of less than 4 per 100,000 In
1042 the mortality Increased to 6

USAF" are divided Into three
main parts; certain nonrouibat op
erational missions as directed by
the secretary ol the Air Force;
maintenance of a pool of carelullv
selected cadets, trained In ground
and pre-llliitu subjects for the Air
Force; and maintenance of a pro

men and women were engaged in
learning the mechanics of the Air
Force as CAP Carielu. Also In IB6J.
many missions were flown for the
Red Cross and other national,
state, and community agencies.
The CAP flew blood-lilts, end hv
lifts, along with dropping food to
stranded people caught in snow
storms. They also kept open an
emergency radio network during
floods, fires, earthquakes, and
tornadoes.
During 19S3. CAP flew 77 per

Sure convinced ma litis distribu
tion business Is really big biinlnnis
for Kliunnih, I'd Ilka In any a lime
about It anil I'll tiy to explain II
us well as lie did,
lu a previous chat wo uuioiil
Ihe sloren In Klamalh liuva a Job
keeping on hand all the things
folks waul tu keep tliein happv.
Now when yuu think ol cllMi mil
lion as II concerns Klamath you
have lo also think of the eleven
western states and you'll see why
later in this llllln discussion.
Hut anyway, slop a nilnule and
think what a teirltlo Job II musl
be In supply all the stores in all
Uie above mentioned states with
all the things they need I T his Job,
so lliey lell me, lulls right lulu
the lap of outfit that makn ihexu
things, sell 'em or sen that they
go where Ihry'ro supposed to tto,
Thcso outfits, It was explained to
me. are known as niiiuiitaclurers,
wholesalers or distributors.
Anyway, let's Nay I'm going Into
business of making, selling, or dis
tributing bath tubs lu the eleven
western slates. The Hint tiling I'd
probably have lo do is make or
gel mv hands on a lot ol bnili
lubs. Then I'd have to udvcrtlno
them In the newspapers so (leople
will buy my tubs liisirnrt of snm.-.
one else's and also because I've
unl to convince the stores tlu-y
should order my lubs lor their
customers. The next thing I havr
j la tto ,1s manufacture or store
them, Ihe lubs Dial Is, unl Ihe
letiMomers, in a place that's cluse-l
lo these stores so Dial when they
do order I can send 'ent as cheap
and as quick as possible.
; The besl name for such a place.
I learned. Is distribution point or
leenter. Anywov. I've got to hrve a
distribution point. So . , , I get
! ahold nf a map and go In wotk
; Most of the people tu the states I've
i been talkuig about, live In or neur
Pan Francisco and the Hay Area,
! Portland, Heattle, Hpokanc, Boise,
Iteno, and Halt l.aka City.
Ho, I make a circle with a cam
jpass that will touch these markets
on Ihe map. Alter doing Ihls 1
I find Klamalh la the anal where I
stuck Ihe point of Uie compass, so
I've got my distribution point!
Now, the bot dlittrlbullon ol:il
has lo boast other things, so I've
been told, besides being closest to
my markets. It has to have more
than one railroad, and Klamath rc
tuatty has three transcontinental
rail connections. Then It has tu
have hlghw-ays going to my mars-
, els so Uie auto freight outfits can
come and go. Last but not least,
my distribution point needs a good
airport and alrll.-ies for air exptest
and air freight. Klamalh has all
of these it's a naturall
When you have a natural distri
bution point like Klamath, It takes
a lot of people to buy, sell, aud
handle all Ihe things that come und
go, like bath tubs. This means big
payrolls lots of folks working
greater prosperity lor everyone.
A lot of manufacturers, whole
salers and distributors have ttl
ready discovered Klamath Is a
natural distribution point. Here's
Ihe proof. In those eleven weste ,
slates we were talking about, or "
13 cities have moro dlstilbutlini
volume than Klamath. And ... In
the states of Ortgon. Washington
pind Idaho, only Portland, Heattle
and Spokane are ahead of Ust
Yes, Klamalh Is Important be
cause of Its agriculture and lum
bering, but don't forget you can
only plant so many acres and cut
down so many Ueea Uiere's a
limit. There's no limit as to how
far Klamalh as a distribution cen
ter can go. Put that In your olpe
and smoke HI ,
