BILLBOARD
By BILL JENKINS
Last time I wrote a short one
I think I blamed it on long hours,
a nice day and all that sort of
thing.
Today I'm blaming it on the
fact that while lunging to catch
the dog before he escaped his run
I jammed my hand into the wire
and busted a finger nail off up
about halfway to the elbow.
The result is that with a piece
of adhesive tape plastered over
the end of my finger I can't type.
I could say however that the
brightest spot in town right now
' is the local chamber of commerce.
A nice green. And more to come,
they tell me.
At least it looks cheerful and
the tourists should love it.
Someone had a surplus of cats.
That fact was evident when
Jack Loser showed up at the
Elks club yesterday morning to
open up.
There in a box on the back en
trance were four of the little
fellows. Just about old enough to
have their eyes open and plenty
old enough to have a big appetite.
Del Jones offered 'cm milk, but
Bert Hall went a step further. He
gave them to the office force
there, complete with a bottle and
nipple for feeding and bis good
wishes.
But no one knows where they
came from. They weren't Bert's.
Ha Just gave 'em away out of the
goodness of his heart.
The hallway at the courthouse
is all cluttered up these days with
official ballot boxes being readied
for use.
Looks like Red Britton will have
his hands full for a while.
Rattlesnake Pete, Klamath's
most colorful public figure, was in
yesterday Inquiring plaintively why
no one has done anything about
the pack trip idea for this area.
Pete is all set to furnish the
local color and glamor for the
visiting tourists. '
A tip to the chamber or some
other enterprising outfit: Pete is
a natural. He's got the flowing
locks, the authentic look, the su
guns and all the other necessary
Items. It wouldn't be a bad idea
to look into.

There is to be a series of im
portant water meetings held across
the nation that so far has not de
veloped much In the line of pub
licity. Yet they may lead to the
adoption of a national policy to
wards our water resources, inese
meetings are being conducted by
the commission on organisation of
the executive branch oi we govern
ment, task force on water resource
m and Bower.
Admiral Ben Morrell is chairman
of this important group wnicn is
- studying the federal governments
activities in water resources and
which win make recommendations
that could lead to a national water
mile of which there Is none
The first of these hearings has
.li-esrtv been held at San Francisco
on May 3, MM. This meeting did
sot generate much in the way of
headline news and perhaps for this
' reason a great many people-failed
to realize the importance oi me
event. Perhaps someone irom ioe
Klamath Basin attended the event
. but so far I have not come in con
tact with him.
The second hearing of the series
la to be held at Denver on May IT:
the third session will be held in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, on June 1;
then the task force goes to New
York City bn June 14; and will re
turn to the Pacific Coast on June
SS for bearing in Portland, Ore
gon. Down In California at the hear
ing there, which took two days,
the task force listened to the pros
and cons on public power, 'mere
were several witnesses that told
the commission that the federal
government should curtail its ac
tivity in the water ana power ausi-
ness and California's biggest
private utility, the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company, said It's pre
pared to pay cash for all power
facilities of the Center Valley Proj
ect. The AFL California Federa
tion of Labor and the Sacramento
Municipal Utilities district and
others favored the continuation of
the present reclamation program.
- The most news headline item of
the hearing was when Robert H.
Oerdes, vice president and gener
al counsel of the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company tossed a bomb
shell Into the meeting when he said
PG&E would pay cash for all
power facilities of the giant CVP

Telling The Editor
, NICKED AGAIN
I see that us dear old tax
payers are going to be nicked
again, that is if our mayor and
some of his so-called friends get
away with it.
Being a taxpayer who has been
nicked again and again I ought
to be getting used to it by now,
but the underhanded way they are
trying to get away with this one
sort of sticks In my craw.
In the first place we aren't be
ing asked to pay just 1186,000,
. that Is only the face value of the
Initial bonds; add on Interest that
will be paid on the ticket will be
a lot closer to twice that amount.
And In the second place when
finally confronted with the direct
question, our leader (?) has the
, nerve to say that the proposed
route win actually cost 1300,000,
maybe $350,000, anyway he Just
hasn't made up his mind as yet
' just how fancy he Is going to pave
: this road to his "rendesvous with
destiny," in the first place. So It
ne is so confused what does he
think we are?

and slept on until they can at
least come up with something
that makes sense. .

NEW YORK I How can you
get bananas to stay ripe longer
by making them breathe less?
How tough should a Jelly bean
be?
What Is the correct wall thick
ness of a piece of macaroni?
How can you tell whether canned
peas are young, middle-aged or
elderly?
These problems would baffle the
best of housewives, but a man-
one man anyway finds them quite
simple. He is George GarnaU, a
pioneer in the rapidly expanding
Held of food engineering.
"I've been stuck with food prob
lems for 33 years. ' said GarnaU,
"ever since I wrote a graduate
thesis on the soda cracker when
I was studying to be a chemical
engineer. Nobody before had ever
written a theses about soda crack
ers. Chemical engineers then
didn't pay. much attention to the
study of food processes."
Today, as director of the Kroger
Food Foundation in Cincinnati,
Garoats and a staff of 25 work in
a laboratory full of weird ma
chines developed to see that mama
gets what she pays for at the
grocery store.
"Our devices test food products
mechanically and objectively,"
said Garnatz "They take the ele
ment of human opnion out of it,
so we can get down to the real
tacts about food.
"Last year we made more than
197.000 scientific inspections of
1,000 food items. Only a fraction
of one per cent had to be rejected
because the manufacturers had
misrepresented them or they
weren't up to government grade."
With a simple micrometer Gar
natz can measure a piece of mac
aroni to be sure that it has the
proper wall thickness.
A quick-cooking macaroni
should be about 26-1 ,000th of an
inch thici." he said. "Slow cooking
macaroni can be up to 4-100th of
an Inch. We can allow up to
S-I.OOOta of an Inch variation and
still guarantee uniform cooking
quality."
How do you tell young neas from
old peas? simple. By tne difference
Between sinkers and floaters.
'As peas get older they get
more dense, because they are con
verting their sugar to starch," ex
plained Garnatz. "In a can of top
grade fancy peas not more than
3 per cent of them should sink
more than 2 inches in a 13 per
cent salt solution in 10 seconds."
He has an ingenious device
which automatically can put a can
of peas to this test and separate
the tender young floaters from the
tired old sinkers.
Other gadgets in his laboratory
look as if they had been invented
by Rube' Goldberg. The fluorome-
ter ugnts up tne vitamins In food
and shows if they are present in
the right amount. The conslstome
ter measures the densit of such
products as creamed corn, apple
sauce and cake batter. The crumb
pressure tester squeezes bread
and checks Its freshness and re
sistance to staling.
mere is also a "cookie tortur
er" called a sbortometer. The
cookie or soda cracker Is placed
across two parallel bars, A third
metal arm then swings down and
measures how much force Is re
quired to crumble It.
"A nice, flaky soda cracker
ought to break under 2 to 2 i
pounds ot pressure." said Gamuts
learnedly. "If it has too much
moisture content or Is made wlih
too little shortening, it may take
more than 3 pounds to snap it.
Shows It's too tough."
With a sharp-edged sheartcster
he can also cut through and test
beef or jelly beans. A jelly bean
that can't atand up to 1 pounds
pressure Is too soft to keep Its
shape; one that xnn take more
than 11 pounds Is too tough for the
Juvenile trade.
Once while experimenting wth
bananas ' a laboratory- assistant
saw a can of floor wax nearby
uu Muuurira aioua wnat would
happen If they coated a banana
with It.
"Let's try It and see." said Gar
nan. They found the waxed ba
nana stayed ripe twice as long as
untreated bananas,
"Naturaly we couldn't sell food
with floor wax on It," Garnatz
said. "But we have now developed
a harmless odorless wax. and
you'll see waxed bananas 'on the
market before the end of the year.
"The wax slows down their re
spiration rate. Sure ripe bananas
breathe. So do potatoes, although
of course potatoes respire more
slowly than lettuce or celery. This
respiration, populprly speaking. Is
really a form of dying the giving
off of carbon dioxide and oxygen
by fruits and vegetables."
BPCB.1I.. nf him Mnil.tU.
food expert, hostesses are some-1
wmcs a oit uneasy when GarnaU
comes to dinner. But his wife set
tled that. problem long ago In their
own home. She bosses the kitchen,
insists on doing the cooking.
"She's a good cook, too," said
Garnatz, loyaly.
She'd have to be with a man
like her "husband to please.
