OAuaPpW&OCS, fl f B-Rrfi; I LI BILLBOARD Br BILL JENKINS Somewhere along the line the mathematics departments of the public schools and I ran into a misunderstanding. And it has caused me trouble all my life. I was the only student that I know of that flunked arithmetic i one for five years in a row. I was '. finally allowed to go on to the higher grades sans math on the theory that I was a blot to the civic escutcheon. , I can add if I'm careful and re . member to . carry over numbers. and I can subtract even sums. Fractions, and percentages leave me standing out in the cold withj noies in my snoes. in a nuai ex tort to do something about the situ ation I was sent to a private school, where I wasn't so much graduated as retired after long and laithful service. SttU with a com- plete mental block where figures are concerned. The. reason I'm carrying on so. suppose, is thst a man wbo doesnt understand percentages and has to go out where he can make marks in the dust to do any serious adding Is in a heck of a fix these days. Pick up any newspaper or maga tine and you'll find dozens of ar ticles dealing with the percentage of people who eat potatoes as com pared to those wbo est radishes. You 11 Una that you can t gei any where without being able to quote endless rows of figures to prove jour point. Yesterday we picked up a maga zine to read all about the duck prospects and what we'll have in the way of shooting next fall and all we could find were several ; pages of figures which proved to us. at least, that the reason bunt ing Is poorer today Is that there are fewer ducks. Orandpaw went out and looked at the sky and if ' he didn't see any ducks around he went out to the barn and killed a fryer. Today we look up the sta tistics in the book and decide whether we'll go hunting or not. . Magazine advertisers are . the : worst offenders. Pick up the aver- JAMES MARLOW 1 WASHINGTON This is an ABC on now the United States can , try to keep Red China out of the ' United Nations. When the U.N. was created at , war's end, Chiang Kai-shek's Na tionalists were the government of China. As such, they were given U.N. membership. At that time the Chinese Communists were a minority group, not a government. Later they drove Chiang off the mainland to the Island of Formosa. Te set up shop there, claiming his was still the real government of all China. .The Reds, occupying all the mainland, said they were the ' government. The United States, refusing to . recognize the Reds, has supported Chiang with arms and money. But 17 of the U.N.'s 60 member nations . including Britain, Russia, India, the Netherlands have recognised Red China. The U.N. has two main bodies: Security Council and General As sembly. All 60 U.N. members sit in the Assembly; 11 also sit In the council. Chiang's Nationalists sit in both council and Assembly. - The council Is in continuous ses sion, the Assembly meets at inter vals. It doesn't meet again until Sept. 21. The fight over Red China, when and if it comes in 1954, is almost certain to be in the As sembly, not in the council. The council and the Assembly operate more or less Independently of each other and have different voting rules. In both places, this yesr at least, the United States ap pears now to have enough friendly votes to seep Red China out. But this could happen: the As- eemciy might oust the Nationalists and seat Red China while the Se curity Council blocked Red China and let the Nationalists keep their seat. Take the Assembly first: Say someone moves to seat Red China. The United States could ask the vote on this motion be post poned. The decision would be by a simple majority of the 60 Assem bly members. The United States might have enough friendly votes to win even on a majority test. But suppose it loses on this vote. That doesn't mean Red China walks in. If the maiorltv voted against postponing a vote, the Unit ed mates coma invoke Article It of the U.N. Charter when the actual vote on seating Red China came up. This says that on any ."impor tant" question like seating a new member, Assembly approval must be by a two-thirds vote. All the United States would need then wouia De one third of the votes, plus one, to keep Red China out. It could probably do that. But Russia could argue that Ar ticle 18 does not apply because China Is already a member and that the only Issue was whether to seat the Communists Instead of the tlonallsts. If the Assembly greed with this view, and held Article IS did not apply, a almnla majority would decide whether to amii ea China. The United States might run into trouble on that, ;. Now take the Security Council: Five of its 11 members are per manent: the United States, Britain, France, China, Russia. The other Jig, elected from the Assembly, hold their seats on a rotating basis. At present the six are Brazil, Co lombia. Turkey, Lebanon, Den age slick paper magasine and you'll have a full main lesson in store for you. The percentage of people that use a certain soap as compared to the percentage of peons who are still getting along with another brand. The percent age of suds In any given type of water. I tell you, it's euough to drive a man mad. I've had to give up reading the Sunday editions o! the big ciiy paper-, with the ex ception of the comics, because they all deal with whole columns of frightening figures. They prove everything by quoting a percent age of the 1910 price and all I can see is eventual ruin for everyone. The last time I delved into a Siuidiy edition I found out that I was overheighth one and a quar-! ter Inches: overweight 55 pounds, lost less time from the! office due to illness -r- three and a ! third days: was listed among the is per cent of the people in the I country who didn't brew his own beer and that my life expectancy ran until August it, lsod. To heck with figures and per centages. I never solved the prob lem oi now many oranges could be picked by two men in three and a half days if one man could pick a peck in three fourth of a day. and I'm not going to start worrying about it now. From here on out If any maga zine or paper carries a story with percentages in it, they'll have to get along wi'Vn: s--;ei-ship. So don't ssy I didn't give fair warning. The only fun I get out of this complete inability to cope with figures is with bankers. I've seen bankers who were ordinarily cold, stern, self possessed, steady-as-a- rock men turn white and start tot twitch when they found that I had opened a personal checking ac count with their institution. " I guess they Just knew in ad vance that they'd have to hire an extra clerk to try and unsnarl the mess that I laugniingiy call my check stubs. But then heck, every one has to lire. mark and New Zealand. The council votes on two kinds of questions: (a) procedural (or minor), like setting up a commit tee to study something and (b) substantive (very important), like telling both sides in a war to stop shooting and withdraw. ' An7 ostsnUve question, like letting Red China into the Security Council, can be killed h . 1 of the five permanent members with a simple veto. The United States and Nationalist China, both u council, would cast vetoes. nussia is never likely to agree that membership for Red wT.., "1i'?amlve Question, instead If It brings the question up in the Security Council at aU It is almost certain to try to make n a procedural matter. The U.N. Charter provides for no veto on a procedural question, which can be approved if 7 of the 11 council members vote for it. But the Communists could hardly win that way now because of the coun cil's makeup. , . Since 7 of the II votes would th. eSa"y 10 mt Rd China. u e.ya,te?

Loss of memory and mental SUMMER WEAR ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD To anyone who sought a nice secluslve spot to enjoy a picnic on the Fourth of July it must be ob viously clear that while we are living in a country that has the reputation of being "the wide open spaces" the available scots for en joyable family recreation are de cidedly limited. Our present public camp ground system is rapidly becomirg inade quate to cope with the rising de mands of population and it is evi dent that new recreational areas must be developed within our area if we are to keep up with the ever growing popular demand. Two things are basic to any rec reational area Shade and Water. A running brook, an open lake, a grand vista, are things that are desirable, and. the popularity of an area Is gauged by these extra at tractions suppuea ay uower na ture. Within this great Klamath area we have innumerable and potential places thst can be developed to take care of our expanding de mands. But the development of water and sanitary facilities well as suitable roads of access are things that cost money. The prob lem of financing recreational areas is ever a serious one. At the present time It Is largely the sportsman who dominates the publicity tn the field of recreation for hunting and fishing are two very important recreational activi ties and the participants in these sports have some degree of organi zation. The plight of other recrea- tionlsts, however, who do not hunt or fish, is beginning to be a sub ject of growing concern in the den ser populated sections of our na tion. Naturally at the top of the list of recreational areas stands our national forest lands. The 180.000 000 acres of national forest land In the United States belongs to all its people and for the sportsman, rep resents the largest unposted public hunting and fishing area still open to him. The national forest Is uie most important item for the 32.500- 000 sportsmen, and uncounted mil lions of other recreation seekers. Yet In spite of the vast increasing recreational use of these public lands the necessary funds required to provide the minimum of serv ices for the public's accommoda tion is exceedingly small. Congress has always taken a dim view of providing funds for recre ational development on our public lands, national parks and monu SAM DAWSON By WALTER BREEDE JR. (For Sam Dawsra) NEW YORK U New markets for black gold are opening up in far-away places while demand in the world's greatest oil-consuming nation is leveling off. That's the situation confronting the multibllllon-dollar petroleum Industry today: too much oil in the United States, not enough to satlsy the fast-growing requirements of less prosperous populations else where. Many of the big U.S. oil com panies are actively going after this foreign business. The results of their efforts can be seen in the glittering new refineries and tank farms that have sprung up In re cent months all the way from the English Channel and the North Sea to the South Pacific. Lost year foreign countries out side the Soviet sphere stepped up their total consumption of oil pro ducts by a whopping 7 per cent. dullness are common In myxede ma. Backaches and pain In the limbs and Joints may be present. The skin becomes thickened. roughened and dry. The features are coarsened, the lips become thickened and the nostrils and month enlarge. There are other signs of low thyroid activity in grownups. Successful treatment both of cretinism and myxedema consists In supplying the patient with thy roid extracts obtained from ani mals, . The response to the Droc-er treat ment in myxedema Is remarkable; the symptoms dlssppesr and a new crop of hair grows in. Even In children when treatment with thyroid extract la begun early, growth and development can be re-established. CORNER TH in ments. The distressing point be hind this congressional disregard of public service and unwillingness to appropriate sufficient funds to do the job, is pointed up by the fact that those who do not want to see the publlo increase it: use ot these areas have prevailed upon Congress to consider, with amazing rapidity, such Items as the stockmen's bills, watered-down mining claim bill, and national forest exploitation measures while at the same time they have blocked every effort to provide an adequate budget to do some real constructive work in wildlife habi tat improvement, stream improve ment and developing camp sites and recreational areas so that the American public can enjoy the rec reational opportunities of Its own public lands. The powerful lobbies of the spe cial interest groups have done much to give the impression that Congress is more inclined to sup port the will of these minority or ganizations than to give adequate consideration to the obvious wide spread public Interest. There Is an old saying: "Money makes the Msre go" and there is no denying but that special Interests seeking control over the public lands have plenty ot such "filthy lucre" and a willingness to apply it for their special benefit. while people right within our own area were searching for some quiet place to enjoy a holiday, and. such popular spots as the Lake of the Woods became a muling mass of humanity under a dense cloud of dust: we traveled a day and a half through a primitive wilderness in the great Mount Shasta Recrea tion Area, not much further re moved from Klamath Falls than is our famous Crater Lake. In all of this time we were on the east slope of the famous mountain we did not encounter a single person. In spite of the numerous wonderful opportunities for camping and pic nic sites along the clear babbling brooks flowing through a virgin forest a primitive wilderness of firs and sugar pines. - - The reason was quite obvious, as was the posted signs on the bridge over Ash Creek; "Bridge Unsafe' with the penciled notation "Road Impassible," and, which it was for any modem car. There has been no funds available to keep such recreational facilities in repair since Congressional appropriations being useless expressions of ex travagance. . ... This year foreign demand is ex pected to rise 7 per cent more to an all-time high of 4.750,000 bar rels dally. By contrast, U.S. demand is ex pected to show a gain of only per cent. The United States Is still far and away the world's, biggest Oil user. This year consumption is expected to reach 7.900,000 barrels dally. That's another new record, but it's only a hair's breadth over domestic oil use In 1853. In most other post war years me gam nad been much greater. Oilmen ssy the present Industry pattern a slow, gradual growth in tnis country and a dynamic ex. panslon overseas will assume even sharper outlines. That's be cause the United States has be come of age as an oil consuming nation while many others arc starting from .scratch. In some un derdeveloped areas the evolution has come about with breath-taking speed almost overnight from donkey cart to helicopter. - One significant by-product of the rise in foreign demand: dollar pinched countries once almost ex clusively dependent on foreign oil are trying to become self-sufficient. And they're getting American companies to help. Drilling crews trained in U.8. techniques are nard at work in Britain, Germany and France. Countries once bitterly hostile to foreign capital have rolled out the welcome mat for American dollars, American geolo gists and American engineers. The more oil they find Inside their own borders, the less they'll have to buy abroad.

There has been considerable hopelul tub-thumping that this will nappen as a result of the recent discovery mot cigarettes can t take away wrinkles or build eith er muscle or character. The pipe manufacturers already are Joyously rushing into produc tion with series of dalnty-steinmed colorful little chimneys designed to match milady's purse, bell and shoes. The cigar boys are leas opti mistic about Invaduig the femin ine market on a mass basis. But here and there you can hear them murmur wistfully, "After all, lad les of fashion In some European countries have enjoyed cigars Ui public for generations. Why not here?" i Well, if women cere. for what one man says (and what women do? , they'll either stick sturdily to cigarettes or. If they Insist on chsnglng v their tobacco habits, switch to chewing tobacco or snuff. For years I was a voice in the wilderness, crying for women to take up cigars or pipes. I pointed out that cigars helped Amy Lowell write fine poetry; they made 'Poker Alice" one of the best card gamblers in Old Deadwood, S.D.'s palmy mining days. It seemed reasonable that since women wanted more and more to act like men, dress like men and talk like men, they ought to smoke dears and pipes like men. This held out the possibility that in lime tney could even be like men reasonable, thoughtful, eaay-go- tng, peaceful, and less quick to detect and find fault with those small nyspecks that mar. even the best of husbands. This Illusion has vanished. I have thought the whole thing through and decided that a na tion of clgar-or-plpe-smoking wo men would be a national disaster from the male viewpoint. Take the simple matter of cost. No family budget today is large enough to support two serious cigar smokers. And If somebody has to scrimp on his stogies. It won't be mama. It'll be papa. He'll be wandering around the house cadging her stumps from the ash trays. The cost factor also will enter Into pipe smoking. Do you think for a moment that a wife will be satisfied with Gen. Douglas MacArthur a famous corncob model? Nay. Indeed. She'll need a separate pipe for every house dress or cocktail gown she buys. A pipe will become Just another ac cessory to her wardrobe, and don't think the pipe she wears out In the evening won't have to be plat ed with silver or gold and studded with something more expensive wan rninestoncs. There Is still another problem. America doesn't produce enough matches or lighters to keep the ladles supplied if they switch to cigars or pipes. Nor would the gallantry or muscle of American manhood be equal to the task of keeping mama lit up. I figure some man has to scratch three matches for every cigarette a woman smokes today, Think how arm-weary men will become it they have to keep he pipe or cigar fuming. All It can result in is more divorces, with the husband whining: "Judge, she smokes 4 cigars a night, and I have to light each cigar 40 times, and that's 160 matches, and I'm so worn out I can't do my work next day. Oive me the kids, Judge, and I'll be glad to pay her cigar alimony." No, the sensible thing for wo men to do, If they must change at all, is to switch back to chewing tobacco. 1 Some pioneer mothers used chawln' terbaccy and when has the world created a finer breed? . . When a wife Is gnawing on a cud of good old peachy plug you can ne sure of one thing she'll be to happy and contented to burn out her old man's ear with small mean talk. It'll bring peace and quiet to the home.
