SUBSCRIPTION RATES MAIL ..( 1.35 ..9 6.60 .111.00' I Month 0 Months 1 Year BILLBOARD By BILL JENKINS ' Mow that the annual f ourth ol July celebration and rodeo are a thing o( the past we have time to look back and reflect on what took place. The first thing that crosses our mind Is the merchants' tun week. Bouquets to 'em. They did a swell Job, provided tun (or all, kept something doing to pep things up and generally sparked a gooa pro gram s We were favorably Impressed with their cooperation with each other and with the roundup associ ation members. The best idea in years was to drop the horseplay that went with the kangaroo court for so many yei . Say what you want, people don't like to be told they have to dress up or take the consequences. It rubs 'em the wrong way. And I think more peo ple appeared on the streets in wes . tern costume this year than in any year we can remember In the past when we had the rough-and-tumble court. We sincerely hope that such stunts as the milking contest be tween Basin mayors, the burro race and the wheelbarrow race will be continued. They are fun, sport and entertaining as well as bringing business to local stores. I remember about five or six years ago, something like that. Wes Ouderlan turned out a guest editorial In this paper with some very pertinent suggestions concern ing the annual roundup. One ot those I'd like to state again. Wes said, and I think so too, that we should elect a queen of the round up every year and keep her in harness for a year insteaa oi lor three weeks. I think that it might be well to o n s 1 d e r electing our roundup queen sometime early in the spring and having her serve until the fol lowing year. We should elect a girl who has the capabilities and the opportunity of making public appearances with the Klambassa dors, the various service clubs, the chamber of commerce and any other groups who are boosting the Klamath Basin. She would be rep resentative of the various clubs and organizations in the neighbor ing towns in the Basin. Coos Bay has the Pirates, Grants Pass the Cavemen. Portland the Jtosarions. Klamath might do well ts take a long look at forming a publicity group, built around any appropriate theme, to boost our community. Such groups, while sneered at by a large number of people, serve a purpose that no other group can, and on top of that the members have lot of fun. We certainly have the framework of such an organization. There's noth ing more colorful, or more flatter ing to the wearer, then the real dressed up cowboy costume. In a group such as this one would be you could let the sky be the limit. So far we have lot of groups promoting good will, such as the Barbershoppers, the Kl ambassa dors, the Sheriffs posse, the Saddle Club, etc. But none of them are set up on s basis of really promoting any objective that comes along which the Basin feels It needs. I also think it might be well to consider other elements besides the rodeo over the long Fourth of SAM DAWSON NEW YORK VI In good health or bad, American business tends to call In a consultant. This year It may pay around half a billion dollars for outside advice on how to run its own affairs. ' Maybe the advice Is for a spec ial Job, such as how to make a ranch profitable, or how much to pay a salesman for use of his car on company business. Maybe it's for a general Job on how's the best way to improve a sick business or make a healthy one still more profitable. I The 1040s brought out a rash of advlce-for-a-fee men and the num ber is growing every year, come good times or bad. "Consulting looks like a glamour occupation to a lot of people," says Horace O. Crockett, president of the Association of Consulting Management Engineers. "So a fair number take the plunge and go into business every year. And, as 'in most small businesses, the pro portion of casualties is high." The association has surveyed 1,753 consultant firms In the land. It reports today that almost half of them started handling other people's troubles since 1040, and that since 1050 the number of con sulting firms has grown by 10 per cent each year. The firms deal with manage ment problems of manufacturing, trade and the professions. The list does not Include those struggling with the rituals of advertising or the mysteries of relations with the publio or press. The association also excludes a "somewhat transient group" which It defines as: "retired executives who take up consulting almost as an avocation; college professors with part-time and summer client free-lance consultants who, ai a class, are seldom stable." Consultant firms tend to the small side, the association says. Cement Foundations ' Houm Leveling, Roofing, Sidina and Insulation Ph.

With the highways becoming more and more Jammed all the time it stands to reason that more and more people are go ing to want to stay reasonably close to home. Therefore: why not give them all the entertainment of varied kinds that we cant Our rodeo is a fine one. One ol the top shows of the nation that offers big prize lists, attracts top hand riders and ropers from all over and draws a good crowd. But we must always remember that It is running in opposition to literally scores of other shows. At least a dozen small towns in the state have rodeos on the same date, all of which tend to siphon off a cer tain percentage of your crowds. me burger shows. Pendleton. Chey enne. Calgary take uo the time ol others, who save their rodeoing for -uienoance ai uiese major snows. More emphasis, on the local side of the rodeo is also something to consiaer. We have all sorts of other oppor tunities. We can hold the finest re gatta on the Coast if we so choose. We can have sailing races, various classes of power boat races, water skiing. Indian pole races, etc. Many, many people would be at tracted by a water show who wouldn't be pulled in by a rodeo. And we certainly have the facili ties, we could even put on a water pageant, either on Upper Lake off ine yacui ctub or In Lake Ewauna. with plenty of room for spectators. This country, while we often tend to think of it about this time ot year as a cattle country, was founded en a solid basis of logging, and the industry is still one of our major bulwarks. Why not have a log bucking contest? And along with that we could have climbing contests, log birlmg, a log truck road-e-o. We can always stage a fishing derby, which could well be state wide. We have the places for all kinds of fishing contests such as fly casting, distance casting, plug casting, etc. We can stage trap shoots st any one of about three spots. In fact, there are unlimited possibilities. There are even a lot of fancy ideas that are dreams right now but might be made into solid facts. As more and more development goes along the Upper Lake I be lieve we could make a boat excur sion pay off. We don't have the old Winema and Klamath any moee, but a barge, or several ot 'em, big enough to hold a lot of people, a small band on at least one of them, and a picnic spot and outdoor dance up along the shores somewhere would, I believe, draw a capacity crowd nightly. And they would be willing to pay enough to support the project. There might even come a tune when we could work in almost any single item of entertainment our country affords in a single bid to bring people here for the Fourth and then Induce them to stay around for a week or so afterwards because they found so much to do and had been shown such a fine time. At any rate. It was a fine two weeks of celebration despite t" weather, and it looks like we're en the riirht T"k. All we have to do Is keep It up. The largest did an eight-million-dollar gross business last year, but only 3'i per cent of the firms report gross income of a million or more. The typical one does a 160,000-a-year business, has six or seven employes, with two or three classed as partners or officers. - About 60 per cent of the firms do a general management consult ant business. The rest specialize. A few deal only with problems of a single business or industry, like the one making a good thing out of advising ranch owners, one that counsels only auto dealers, and if ,1S FREE FREE!

ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD Weill Once again it was with us the Glorious "Fourth ot July at which time we have a chance to celebrate such freedoms of life as has been left to us by our an cestors. Now we can begin to look back upon our personal acts over the weekend. Were you one of the Vandalbugs who carelessly de stroyed some of our cherished wilderness assets so that come next Fourth of July when we again go enmasse into the open to. cele brate our freedom we will find Just a little bit less than we did the year before? Or, were you Just a happy Litterbug and strewed the roadsides with empty beer cans, bottles, and cartons or, -Lord help us! Soda Pop cans? Did you leave a clean camp without litter to offend the next one who desires to camp or picnic upon your cher ished spot in the wildwood? Put out your camp fire properly? Car ry a paper bag In the car to collect your personal rubbish so that you could dispose of it properly? In other words the day after the Fourth is a good time to sit down and ask yourself the question: "Did I exhibit good or bad wood land manners?" Word has come my way again from our good friend C. A. "AI" Wheeler of Mount Shasta that July 24 and 25 have been set as the annual "Bitter -Brush Seed Oathering Days" on the slopes of Mount Shasta. Each year we ex tend an invitation to everyone in terested in the preservation and continued existence of deer to come and Join us In this community ef fort to gather Bitter Brush seed which is urgently needed for the re-habilitation of the winter ranges utilized by the deer. I have listened to a lot of "grip ing" on the part of numerous ar dent deer hunters over the regu lations being proposed by our state game commissions. Those who have screamed the loudest, one would think would be the most sincere in wanting to do something for the preservation of this great natural outdoor recreational acti vity. Lost year, the sincerity of these screamers was put to test and we extended an invitation to them to come and help us gather seed that was urgently needed for planting In the deer range area that is occupied by the Interstate Deer Herd. It was our belief that surely, these men who have yelled so strongly, would be willing to devote one day of their time out of the year in doing something to ward the furtherance of the se curity of their cherished form of recreation. Well we found out who was sincerely interested not one of the screamers showed up. Bitter Brush is one of the prime deer foods and the program of planting the seed of this browse plant is of great importance in several that serve only physicians. The largest group of specialists tackles businessmen's problems In the fields of marketing, market re-, search, labor relations, personnel, finance and foreign trade. Some functional specialists are called In to train employes for specific jobs, to handle tax mat ters, to develop new products, to pick the best site for a new factory.

The Bitter Brush is a queer shrub in the matter of seed production. The seed does not hang on alter becoming mature and so the collecting day must co incide with the maturing period. There are only a couple of days leeway available for the seed col lector, between the time the seed matures and when It can be col lected. The great expanse of slope of Mount Shasta, however, offers many opportunities for finding a proper seed collecting area during the ripening season. The Bitter Brush first comes into maturity near the base of the mountain and then the season slowly progresses up the mountain side toward Umber-line. Since the collecting area cannot be definitely set more than a few days In advance, the exact collect ing area that will be used on July 24-25 Is at the moment rather in definite. We know that it will be along Highway 97 and In all prob ability near the Southern Pacific, Andectte siding. Signs.- however, will, be placed along Highway 07 to direct anyone who wishes to come down and extend us a helping hand to the collecting area. Both in Oregon and California the campaign to collect Bitter Brush seed has been Retting a great deal of attention. Up in the northern part of Oregon quite a number of Izaak Walton League Chapters have 'set plans for simlllar outings as is planned in our Mount Shasta roundup. , AI Wheeler, who Is one of nor thern California's most ardent con servationists and a "spark-plug" In the Mount Shast Rod and Gun club has done much to promote this community enterprise. This year AI imorms me that a lot of Boy Scouts are planning a two day eamporce in the area so that they can help in the collection of the Bitter Brush seed, and Al has hopes that we will be able to get a good lot of seed this year. Collecting seed is a slow process and it takes a lot of willing hands to make a good showing. Between now and the time for this seed gathering picnic this column will carry additional Infor mation on the program as it be comes available So If vou are Interested In doing something per sonally to help deer Just remember the date on the slopes of Mount Shasta July 24-25. .

MEMBERS LUNCH By Jimmy Hatlo Hal Boyle NEW YORK i The big prob lem facing millions of Americans today Is, "How can I go back to the daily rut?" Some, worn out by the long holi day weekend, are overwhelmingly anxious to return as quickly as pos sible to the security and order of their Job in factory or office. Freedom Is a great thing no doubt of It but it has meant to them nothing In the last three days but trafflo Jams, Indigestion, sunburn, crying children, and mo squito bites. The only place they would like to go this morning, oth er than to the office, is to a rest ful hospital, on a quiet street. Others, however, have been spoiled by the ' ecstatic free dom that went with the 17Blh an niversary ot American Independ ence. They hate the Idea ol re turning to responsibility and yearn to run barefoot ind knee-deep In liberty until the snow flies. No matter what your attitude to ward getting back Into harness may be, you will find some conso lation on grounds for self pity In the following literary aspirins for your holiday-wounded mind: "It ts not good to have too much liberty. It Is not good to have all one wants" Blaise Pascal. "I tell you, liberty ts the best of all things; never live beneath the noose of a servile halter" Sir William Wallace. "Every vat must stand upon his own bottom" John Bunyan. "Every man for himself, and God for us all" Cervantes. "Liberty In the lowest rank of every nation Is little more than the choice of working or starving" Samuel Johnson. "That treacherous phantom which men coll liberty" Ruskln. "Is all the year was playing holi days, to sport would be as tedious as to work" Shakespeare. "Nothing befalls any man which he Is not fitted to endure" Mar cus Aurellus. "Endure and persist: this pain will turn to your good by and by" Ovid. "I will perform a useless duty" Vergil. "There Is no substitute for hard work" Thomas A. Edison. "Hard work is the best Invest ment a man can make" C. M. Schwab (He died broke). "Let us go forth and resolute ly dare with sweat of brow to toil our little day" Milton.

Monty Montgomery 150 Ralph Welter 160 James Marlow WASHINOTON lit! This colli!-, try's mountainous farm surplus, ranging Irom wheat to. cotton, la bulging In bins and warehouses. The government has had to take it over from farmers. It's worth 16,181,000,000. Congress last week passed a bill to let th government get rid ol a billion dollara of it: 100 mil lions through sale to foreign coun tries; and 300 millions as a give away to counlrlea In need. For In stance, where there's famine. That will leave Uncle Sam Willi five billion dollara worth of the tuff still on his hands, Some of It, like cotton, oan keep for yeara. It would come in handy In an emergency, like war. What can't keep will have to be disposed of somehow, Tlie government can't sell It on the open market In this country. That would ruin farm prices. The very reason for buying It from fnrniera and storing It Is to keep prices up and save farmers from the ruin of their overproduction. If tills seems, like a crasy pro gram, It's at least long-established, and repeatedly has been approved by Congress, it's based on the theory that, when necessary, the government should step In to avert a farm depression which might soon hit the rest of the country. This la an example of how the new sell-snd-glve-awsy law, to get rid of some of the surplus, would work: Some foreign country, say Trance, wants wheat but doesn't have enough dollars to pay for it. This country will sell Prance the wheat It needs not at the high American price but at a lower foreign price and accept French money In payment. With this French money the United Slates buys goods from France, perhaps raw materials, or pays the cost of an American air base In France. Or. some other country has a famine, needs wheat, but can't pay (or It. In that case the government can give away up to 300 million dollars worth of Its surplus wheal. This will give an Idea of the enormous surplus the government now has on Its hands: Wheat Ms million bushels', corn lio million bushels; cotton 7.185.000.000 bales; tobacco 610 million pounds; rice 1 mil lion bags; peanuts JM million pounds; butter 364 million pounds; cheese 361 million pounds; dried milk 6M million pounds. That's not all. The government acquired this vast surplus from the farmers be cause of price support lawa. These laws say a farmer should get a certain percentage some times a high percentage, some times a low one of parity. Parity la a price Congress has fixed as that which a farmer should get to stay on a par with nonfarmers In his ability to buy things he needs. The parity price on wheal Is now tl.M. but to simplify the il lustration It will be used. The government says the farm er should get II a bushel for his wheat. So it guarantees him he will get at least 90 per cent of parity In this case SO cents a bushel If the government Itself has to buy It and never use It. But so much wheat has been produced the price on the open msrket goes down and wheal sells for less than , 90 cents a bushel. In that case the farmer can do better dealing with the govern ment. He gets a government loan of 90 cents a bushel for- his wheat. I If the price of wheat On the open market goes up above 90 cents, he sells his wheat and repays the loan. It It stays below 90 cents, he keeps the 90-cenl loan and lets the government keep the wheat. On six basic crops whest, corn, cotton, rice, tobacco, and peanuts the government must, under p-resent law, guarantee farmers 90 per cent of parity. On some other crops still according to law the government can fix this support price at anywhere from 13 to 90 per cent of parity or even zero to 90 per cent. The Eisenhower administration aays there should be more flex ibility, particularly In the case of those six basic crops which now are protected by a guarantee of 90 per cent of parity. The theory Is this: In times of surplus, the guarantee can drop as low as 13 per cent of parity to discourage production; and In time of scarcity it can be raised as high as 90 per cent to encourage produc tion. The House on Friday voted to let the guarantee range somewhere Ourirtf WEDNESDAY SURPRISE EMIL'S Lean, Meaty Beef Boil lb. Ecenomicol US No. 1 Potatoes Fancy, Red Alaska Salmon MMi ?;.".

THE DOCTOR SAYS By EDWIN I JORDAN, M.D. "Is It posslblo to euro athlete's foot?" writes Mrs. M. "I have had a condition 'on my foot for about a year and have used salves and powders with no relic!." In answer to this question I can say that there are a number ol excellent treatments lor alhlete'a toot. But Mrs, M. Is lumping to conclusions If she assumra that anything on the foot la that disease. Perhaps she has something else. Furthermore It la risky to treat one's self and here la a good" ex ample where self treatment has failed. Borne of my skin specialist friends, for example, have told me that they have had more troublo treatlng the akin of those who had worked on themselves Ulan they did those with the disease. "Athlete's foot" Is not a disease of athletes alone nor is It confined to the foot. The same condition Is also called ringworm but it Isn't caused by a worm nor dors it olten appear in the shape of a ring. Hie correct naino Is dcrinatophytosls, if you can remember it. This disease is caused by fungi, which are considered to belong to the plant world. These fungi grow best In - tho damp and dark. They will last for some time on damp towels or wet floors. Hence there Is more likely to be trouble with them in warm weath er when more people use locker rooms and engage In athletics. If one would avoid Infection the feet should be kept clean and dry. the socks and shoes dried anil aired frequently,' and towels should be completely dry and never shared. A duatfhg powder consisting of 10 per cent boric acid In pow dered talc to be used on the feet twice a day has also been recom mended. This could be used In the groin, too. Even with precautions, however. It seems unlikely thai this disease will disappear. Usually, II pro duces some Itching and scaling, cracking, or some other peculiar appearance of the akin. Occasionally the symptoms can be really severe. Dermatophytes! may be diffi cult to cure especially If the fungi lodge In the nails or other places hard to get at. Furthermore reinfection from towels, socks, scratching or the like Is common.
