' 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

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.

July weekend. 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.

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.

helping to do something to carry
the deer herd through the severe
winter periods on their critical
winter range. 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. .

QUESTION
How come Mr. District Attorney
you allow the carnival to run 37
games of chance, bingo games and
semi-nude girl shows and never
say a word. Yet If you catch a
tavern with a punch board you
nail him.
Instead of your childish argu
ments with a certain Judge I
should think you would be on the
ball on this carnival gamble.

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

turning to responsibility and yearn
to run barefoot ind knee-deep In
liberty until the snow flies.

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

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. If the simple dust
