This group, made up of game department officials from British Columbia, Oregon, Wahslngton, California, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and Montana along with representatives of the federal fish and wildlife service are the ones who make the Initial recommen dations to the national waterfowl council. That latter group will frame final recommendations for all sea sons and submit them to the fish and wildlife service for final ap proval. Let's hope that all goes well and that the representatives can agree on at least one thing letting us here on the Eastern side of the mountains have a season early enough to afford us our fair share of the shooting before the freczeup ends the birds on South. In an unofficial poll conducted last year by this column over 80 per cent of Uiose answering fa vored an opening not later than October first. There were some who wanted It to open as early as late September. There are a number of reasons for this, none of which can fairly be said to fringe on pure greed. For one thing, as we have al ready mentioned, late seasons, 'and particularly split seasons that run the second half up until the end of the year, almost Invariably sec the ponds and creeks of this country sheathed In Ice and use less for duck hunting, although there will be some goose shooting If you have permission to hunt some of the river bottoms. ; These late seasons are all well and good for the voters on the Western slope and along the coast. They seldom have a freeze and when they do get one It Isn't any thutp to worry about. Over here It Is different situation. In the second place I feel that is only fair that we should be given an opportunity for a crack at the early flight of birds, pintails, par ticularly, and mallards In large numbers, come Into the country JAMES MARLOW WASHINOTON in Promoters have admitted making millions In "windfalls" out of mortgages on apartments built with government- Insured loans. Did they commit a crime and, If so, can they be prosecuted? There Is no simple answer. Get ting a "windfall' profit is not, by Itself, a crime. This much csn be said in a general way: It would be a crime If the pro moter. In order to got the "windfall,'1- deliberately deceived the government on his application for a government-becked loan. Even so, prosecution would depend on When It happened. If It was before 1051, there could be no prosecution. There could be If It happened since then. The reason one kind of law covering this field ended in 1050. Another law, similar to It, began In 11)51. In order to punish a man for a pre-1051 fraud, the government would have had to prosecute with in three years. It's too late now. Most of the "windfall" cases brought to light In Uie Senate Banking committee's fiery hear ings occurred before 1051. It's be ginning now on cases that hap pened since then. But the government could move In another direction that Is. In the tax field against promoters who got "windfalls," whether or not they committed any fraud in obtaining the guaranteed loan. If a buslnessmnn can report his Income as a capital gain he pays less tax than If he reports It sim ply as Income. The government has rules as to which way Income can be reported. If a promoter reported his "wind-, IhII" as a capital gain, the gov-1 eminent, claiming now he should have reported It as income, can try to collect Ihc difference. It's questionable whelhar It can collect. During and alter the war Con gress wanted to encourage the building of apartments because ol the housing shortage. It passed a law under Tllle 6 of the Na tional Housing Act which ex pired in 1050. Under this a promoter who want ed to build apartments could gut a loan from a bank with the gov ernment guaranteeing the bank eialnst loss up to 80 per cent if the Federol Housing Adminis tration approved. To get FHA approval, the pro moter had to file an application with that agency, giving his esti mate of the cost. Then, if FHA in vestigators approved, the bank would make the loan. His estimate would Include the price of the land, the builder's fee, the architect's fee, and so on. Say CUSTOM BALING Claude L.

If it were not for the reserve areas, carefully de signed to hold birds In game areas rather than loosing them on the coast seed, wheat and rice crops, this early flight would often be gone long before the season opened. From a conservation standpoint 1 see little difference whether a duck is shot in Oregon, California or Mexico. At any rate, It will be highly In teresting to see what comes of the meeting and what instructions Ore gon's Pnil Schneider and Califor nia's Bill Silva take back to Wash ington with them in August. I, at least, will go on hoping that wc can get a reasonably early season. Tentative hunting regulations posted now would give us an ante lope season from - August 21 through the 26th, with one antelope wllh horns longer than the ears being legal. 200 permits will be issued. Deer season for Klamath Coun ly would fall between October sec ond and loth, forked horns and better. This will be followed by a hunter's choice season of two days from October 16 to 18 for those with unused tags. This sea son is held within certain definite areas. Tile cascade area elk season will run from October 30 until Novem ber 21, limited to one bull elk with antlers. And, incidentally, when you bring your bull out the entire head with antlers attached must accom pany the carcass while being transported. When it comes to upland birds, area three, which Includes Klamath County, will see pheasant season opening at noon on October 30 and running .through November 14 with a bag limit of rour cocks per day. Quail season will open at the same time as pheasant season with a limit of ten a day for valley and mountain quail, bobwhltes and Huns.

JORDAN, M.D, The wisdom of a Solomon would be required to answer a recently received letter. The correspondent writes, "Please say how a mother can help her child to become or be as nearly normal as possible without two parents. I could use some good, solid advice how . 1 try." - - It Is no accident that nature has given all human being two parents. All the evidence leads to the con clusion that, both physically and emotionally, youngsters do better on the average if they are raised under the eyes and with the co operation of both father and moth er. The writer of the letter does not say whether the absence of Uie father is the .result of death, sep aration or divorce. From the youngster's standpoint, the problem appears easier to han dle when death Is the cause, rather than desertion or divorce. Prob ably this is because the child finds the situation easier to understand and does not feel the aded inse curity of voluntary withdrawal of the father from lack of affection for his family. From the physical standpoint, de ficiencies In emotional adjustment usually Increase the chances of developing atomach ulcers, intesti nal disorders and a number of other troubles later on In lile which are closely allied to the emotions. Even during childhood there is an Increased chance of developing emotional or even some physical disorders In those who are de prived of a normal home Hie. But to come back to the question. If it is impossible and of course It sometimes la to give every youngster the devoted affection. Interest and support of two con genial parents, one will have to carry on as best as he or she can. The first step Is to recognize that the youngster is missing some thing. No doubt the second Is to do some hard thinking so that the remaining parents will avoid the pitfalls of over protection or spoiling of the youngster and still provide the affection and under standing which every growing child so badly needs. Just how this Is to be accom plished is still more difficult. Raising children with both par ents working at It is hard enough anyway, and the burden which is so often complicated by economic problems Is particularly severe when the father is not around. Specific advice Is Impossible, But thought and care to the emo tional, even more than the physi cal, needs of the youngster should be the keynote of all activities on the part of the mother. 66 GAUGE 1 I ...... . . t , ! . . 1 , ONLY . ; ' HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH Vet's Mailbag The Independent Offices Appro priation Act for Fiscal Year 1955 extends the time in which veterans with service-connected non-com-pensable dental conditions may ap ply for out-patient dental treat ment, Veterans Administration an nounces. The new date is December 31, 1954, or one year after discharge, whichever Js later. Under last fis cal year's appropriation act, the delimiting date was July 27, 1954. The Act containing the December 31, 1954 date, Public Law 428, was signed by the president June 24, 1954. This law expires June 30, 1955. VA said the new delimiting date applies only to one group of vet erans those having service-con nected noncompensable dental dis abilities or conditions which are shown to have existed at time of discharge. "The delimiting date does not ap ply to- veterans in the following two olasses: 1. Veterans, having service-con nected compensable dental condi tions or disabilities, which means they must be rated 10 per cent or more disabled for the dental condition and. 2. Veterans having a dental con dition, whether or not service con nected, but medically determined to be aggravating - a service-con. nected physical disability or In jury.

These exceptions are (1) those dental disabilities which are the re sult of combat injuries; (2) dental disabilities of prlsoners-of-war, and (3) disabilities resulting from serv ice injuries. The one-time dental treatment limitation, VA satd, does not ap ply to veterans not affected by the delimiting date. Veterans who qualify for out patient dental treatment may be referred either on a fee basis to "home town" participating dentists or to VA dental clinics. ' -r QUESTION OF THE WEEK Q.

If the present administration goes down in defeat, the probable greatest contributing factor will be Its In ability to recognize the strength and power of the American people vitally Interested in this great movement. This is a strange slt atlon since by far and wide the majority of influential conserva tionists today are Republicans. It is most difficult to assess the In ternal battle within the Republican party over conservation Ideals, but it is something upon which stra tegists among the Democrats will do their best to widen the rift be tween the Old Guard and Conser vationists in the hope that the con servation vote will turn from the Republican party to the Demo crats. The Old Guard has deliberately chosen to challenge the Conserva tionists in the encouragement of bills that were obnoxious to the Conservationists. These have chief ly been two in number, the first was the Stockmen's Land Grab Bill; the second, was the Issue of the Invasion of the National Park System by the administrations pro posal to turn Dinosaur National Monument Into a reservoir. These Issues have still not been settled but the Old Guard Is so determined to force them down the throats of the Conservationists that they would rather wreck the Republi can party than .admit defeat. The feeling against the Conservationists must be pretty deep within the Old Guard ranks since I am informed that Doug Mackay, who has chosen the harness of the senile drivers, refers to us Conservationists, In private, as "Punks." Of course I am Just a little "punk" within the ranks of the party. Conservation nas Deen an niaivm uol thing with the men and women who have built the concept into a great movement that is fundament ally American and is strictly bi partisan.

Although the concept of conser vation the preservation, restor ation, and wise utilization of natur al resources is less than one hundred years old, the application ot conservation principles and tech niques has profoundly influenced the course of American history, for conservation Is dynamic.

In his wiltings he speaks of "the fight for conservation." True, the fight is far from won and unless Amer icans are ever alert, actually can be lost. But our conservation lead ers, the shock troops of the battle, view it as a long, hard campaign in which, while local engagements result in temporary setbacks, final victory must result If America Is to endure.

Last year a poll, was taken, by Henry Clepper of the Society of American Foresters, among the nation's leading conservationists as to who they thought were the out standing leaders of the conserva tion movement. The results were rather startling and there was a diversity of opinion for 122 names were proposed. Clepper, lists the top ten in the following alphabeti cal order Hugh H. Bennett; Jay N. Darling: Ira N. Oabrlelson; Aldo Leopold; Stephen T. Mather; John Mulr: T. Gilbert Pearson: Gilford Pinchot; Franklin D. Roos evelt; Theodore Roosevelt.

When you rough It, .the idea is to live as comfortably as possible with- as little as possible, but it always pays to take along a few of the right makings ofjhat comfort. And camp cooking Is the real kev to good camping. The key to camp cooking? There are several, but one of the Im portant ones is good, fresh MILK. It pays to take along several cartons of milk. If you've got some insulative containers. It's a good Idea to stick the milk in them tor protection, or. u you have one, a gallon thermos jug will keep milk fresh for you for quite a spell. Frankly, I like to take the milk cartons along. One good reason besides the milk, of course is that the modern cartons make terrific fire-starters. And that's important when you're caught with wet wood and little or no paper somewhere In the wilds, Let's take a look at milk and camp cooking. Breakfast is often the toughest or all the camp meals. First of all. it's usually cooked while the sun's rays still slant obliquely and give, littje warmth to the cook. Secondly, with a chill in the air, the cook is likely to hurry through the motions of getting breakfast. So, since it is results that count, milk can be the camp cook's best friend, just as it's the sweetheart of any modern home kitchen. Take pancakes, for instance. There's a recipe on every box of mix, so there's no need repeat Ing one here. But not even pure, mountain-high branchwater can compete with the truly pure, rich ness of Grade A milk for mixing up hot cake batter. Take it from , me, the pancake breakfast, cooked with fresh, rich milk, means a whale of a lot to get. eager .fishermen oft to a sharp, limit-catching day. Bessy. SAYINGS GALORE! 66 GAUGE
