peddling luacciiriila Intoriiia
Hon. Her statements, whrn casual
ly considered, sound a bit stu riling,
but Ihey really aren't, "
For example:
"There has been a tremendous
rise In juvenile delinquency, arnd
Inu morn youngster to court tlinn
ever belnro."
Well, THERE AnR MORE
YOUNGSTERS THAN KVEIl BE
FORE Vitally more of Ihttn. aa
you must be aware It you keep
abreaat of the census lliturea and
the achool reMrl, It keeim tin
building achool house all the time

lor llicm to get an education.
And, for thut mutter, there are
more courla tlmn there lined to be.
And Juvenllea (to lo court more
mien, It lined to bo that we aenl
youngsters lo court only aa a last
desperate resort. Now, Willi Juve
nlle authorities to rely on, we semi
more of them to court,
And Mrs. Hubby's final stale
rnenl this morning:
"Juvenile delinquency Is now at
en ALL TIME high:
It sounds bad. But when you boll
It down lo the lacts ol modern Ille
as revealed by the annual school
census. It becomes simply a logl
csl statement ol probable cause
snd effect, If, In our country,
there are vastly more children
than ever before It seems quite
reasonable that there should be
more juvenile delinquency than
ever before.
Here's what I'd like to know:
Do we really have more Juvenile
delinquency, or are our facilities
lor communication Just so much
more perfect In these modern days
THAT WE HEAR IMMENSELY
MORK ABOUT IT THAN OUR
FOREFATHERS HEARD?
There was a time not too long
ago, as historical lime la meas
ured when news traveled no
faster than the msll traveled, and
In those days the msll traveled at
walk or at best at a IroU .
Nowlltllt
Oood Lord! Now news travels on
the wing ol the wind and at prac
tically the speed of light. In the
old dsys, when some juvenile did
something he shouldn't, the news
of it trsveled by word of mouth
and mouths got around pretty
slowly In those days before gaso
line or by the weekly paper,
Now
But why go Into, that subject any
farther? Now newSi travels so fast
and so far that a few seconds alter
ANYTHINO happens It can be
known all around the world.
What 1 want in know Is do more
Juveniles PERCENTAGEWISE do
the things thnt are summed up In
the term "Juvenile delinquency"
NOW thsn In the good old dsys
when our grsndparents were
young?
I doubt It.
I'm going lo go on doubling It
until we get a better set ol Iscts
upon Vhlch to base conclusions. I
don't believe the youngsters of to
dny are any worse thsn the young
sters of earlier days and earlier
generations.

British,
U.S. Plan
JointAction
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON t President
Elsenhower snd Prime Minister
Churchill declared Monday they
will "press forward with plans for
collective defense" of Southeast
Asia, regardless of whether peace
negotiations for Indochina are suc
cessful. In a communique, they also ex
pressed "conviction that further de
lay" In the creation ol a European
Defense Community and granting
of sovereignty to West Germany
"would damage the solidarity of
the Atlantic nations."
This wss a prod for France to
get on with ratification of EDC.
On another major point, the
American and British leaders
Jointly declared that "both our
countries would benellt" from
"technical cooperation" on atom
ic energy to the fullest extent per
mitted by United States law.
COMMUNIQUE
The communique, Issued at the
While House, was the first formal
statement out of the four-dsy
round of talks here on British
American policy differences.
The communique left unanswer
ed the crlticsl question of when
an International conference to cre
ate a Southeast. Asia tnll-Com-munlst
alliance' might be called.
. This has been a major Issue,
with Britain wanting no such def
inite action pending a conclusion
of present French efforts to ne
gotiate peace In Indochina. The
United States on the other band
desired quick action. The com
munique appeared to bear out re
ports on continued . disagreement
by failure to report any. agree
ment.
"We are both convinced." the
communique said, "that If at
Geneva the French government is
confronted with demands which
prevent an acceptable agreement
regarding Indochina, the interna
tional situation will be seriously
aggravated."
ASIAN PROBLEMS
This was one of three terse pa
ragraphs dealing with the South
east Asia, and It set forth a clear
warning to the Communists to of
fer the French honorable terms to
end the seven-year old war.
Another reported that the two
leaders have discussed southeast
Asis and "examined the situation
J'hlch would arise from the con
tusion of an agreement on Indo
china." Old-Timers'
ficnic Held
Sunday was old-timers day at the
Malln Park when hundreds of per
sons who date their arrival In the
Klamath Basin to "prior to 1900"
held a get-together picnic.
Almost 500 who registered for
the picnic, chatted and reminisced
throughout the afternoon. Many
old-timers admitted they had seen
other oldsters they had lost track
or many years ago. One such old
timer was overheard to remark.
"Used to see a lot of Charlie back
about '93. then I knlnda lost track
of him. Honestly don't think I've
seen him since World War I until
today."
Recognized' as the oldest of the
old-timers present was Mrs. Sam
Walker, who has been a resident of
this county since 1876. Her husband
Sam, Is said to be the oldest peace
omcer in Klamath county. He is
94.
Others of the "younger set" who
uainii io naving lived here since
1KS0, '81 and '83 Include, Mr. and
Mrs. Oene Hammond, Mrs. Ivy
vampoen, Mrs. Jennie Hum, Mrs.
Minnie Dlllsrd Davis, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Drew and Dr. Oeorge
Old-timers from the Malln tret
who "can remember when" Includ
ed: Mr. and Mrs. Ben Pickett. Mr.
and Mrs. C. M. Klrkpatrlck, Mrs.
Emma Wilson. W. C. Dalton. Ray

The majority of the picnickers
who have resided here only since
inoo. were considered "Just kids'
by the real old-timers.
' Many of the group expressed
their wish that such a get-together
could be held each summer and
the committee In charge headed by
Bob Byme and Louie Kallna are
taking the suggestion under advise

to minimize the risk of a conflict
which would "leave us victorious

Final Hearing
On TV Slated
: Authoritative word from Wash
ington. D. C... this morning indi
cated the final phase of the Khun
ath Falls television bearing will
probably begin in September.
Competitive proposals for use of
Channel two here have been under
study by a Federal Communica
tions Commission examiner since
April 30 of this year. W. D. MlUer
Is proposing sole ownership of a
13.06 kilowatt station on Radio Hill
at an elevation of 4819 f-?et and
Klamath Falls Television, inc.,
owned equally by a large group
of local residents, plans to use 25
kilowatts of power on Hogback
Mountain at 6500 feet.
Both applicants petitioned the
FCC to move the hearing to Klam
ath Falls due to Millers recent
Illness and inability to make a
Washington trip but this was de
nied several weeks ago and oral
testimony postponed, indefinitely.
Meantime the examiner has con
tinued his study of the case.
: Today's announcement states that
counsel for both applicants expect
the final hearing phases to begin
within 60 days.
Should a final d e c I s I o n be
reached by October, which now
appears to be the earliest possible
date, the FCC will instruct the
successful . applicant to finalize
plans Immediately and begin ac
tual television service to the Klam
ath country not later than June 1,
