SUBSCRIPTION RATES MAIL .. 1.35 ..$ 6.50 .$11.00 I Month 6 Months 1 Year BILLBOARD By BILL JENKINS Tlie Modoc National Forest stole Klamath's thunder for the month with the appearance in Redbook magazine of a color picture layout and a story on the Round Mountain lookout. Jack and Shirley Pang born and children are leatured in the yam, turned out by Robert de Roos, well known word slinger. As we have remarked before, you just can't keep this old coun try out of the news. Word from Sam Coon, our repre sentative in Washington, tells us that his bill to eliminate the feder al tax on non-profit community ro deos lias passed all but the final hurdle. And it is more or less taken for granted that it will manage to get through the final house clear ance as well. A move in the right direction and one that makes the business of giving a rodeo much simpler. Taxes can take an owlul whack out of profits. And without profits there won't be continuing shows, 'cause those old fairgrounds don't keep themselves repaired, painted and all the rest for nothing. A new businessman, one who knows all about leverage, is on the road these days in a bright red truck. Buck Davidson, who will be remembered bv Basin wrestling fans as a favorite for a good many long years, has gotten the Klamath County franchise for a car Jack company and is really plowing into the business. Whether he puts a half nelson on prospective customers or not we don't know, but we did listen to his sales tnlk and found out that his Jacker-upper will do most any thing except start the car on a cold morning. It'll also tighten fence wire, pull spikes and dig holes. Buck says he's out o'f the grap ple racket for a while at least. Maybe next winter he'll go back to the squared circle and peanut route and maybe not. If you are a descendant of an TELLING THE EDITOR CORDON DKFENDKD Senator Ouy Cordon has been asked by his opposition to cam paign this year on $50,000 more than twice wtaat the Senator spent on his 1048 campaign. Let's emphasize that: Senator Cordon's opposition wants to spend on this year's campaign more than twice the amount the Senator spent last time he ran for office. And as the old saying goes: inereoy nangs a tale. In that same 1948 campaign, the Republican State Central Committee spent 1211,000, mostly trying to elect Thomas E. Dewey to uie presidency. Note that figure and what it was used for. Because Senator Cordon's op ponent used that Dewey campaign figure to pull an extremely clever tiick at the Astoria AFL conven tion last month. Pay close atten tion to this: I am going to quote exactly what was said at Astoria and I wouldn't want this clever ness to escape you. This Is the quote: "The last time Senator Guy Cordon ran for office, the Repub lican State Central Committee spent $211,000." Unquote. Now, this was a literal state ment of facts. But It was quite obviously de signed for the sole purpose of leav lng a false impression in the minds of the listeners. Anyone who went to the Secretary of State's report for that Dewey cam paign figure could not have es caped a couple of other facts: That this was not I repeat was not Cordon campaign money I Senator Cordon's cam paign cost approximately one-tenth thai amount! Proof of the basic false Intent by Senator Cordon's opposition rests In another fact: Several newspaper reporters at the Astoria convention who should have known better twisted that statement the way It was Intended to be twisted. They came right out and wrote that the Central Com mittee money was spent on Senator Cordon's campaign. And nothing has come from Uie originator of the statement to clear up that falsehood. Naturally. Students 'of political history will recognize the technique of the "big lie". It consists siimilv of telling two unrelated facts in one sentence. The listener goes away with a completely false impres Hon. That is Uie intent! But the speaker can always say: "I told facts." What this proves, of course, fe that some very tricky maneuvers 55 , - A & B PAINT 1228 E.

HOW i SMELLED" ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL, by KEN McLEOD Future Increases in population will produce decided changes in the field of agriculture which will be especially noted in the kind of crops that will be grown. Any In crease in the number of people admittedly have a bearing upon the food supply as there will be an approximately proportional in. crease In the demand for agricul tural products. The "clamlty".pre. dieters who are attempting to scare the American people out of their wits by posing behind a false doctrine attributed to Malthus have been crying: "When do we begin to starve? '. Strangely enough, in spite of the obvious absurdity of this propa. ganda and with reams of paper being written about troublesome crop surpluses: battles being bought over federal controls over agricultural production, and all the other evidence to the contrary, there are people today who actu ally believe that if we do not grow more food today we will find our- selves faced with starvation tomor row. This "tomorrow" Is not the indefinite future but In reality next year, if not a few months sooner so great is the power of this propaganda of fear. It is Just about as profitable to speculate about the world starv lnz to death as it is to speculate about how soon man will destroy himself by some fanciful concotion of atoms, in fact, the lattei may be more real-than the former. The sane economist, however, knows that in spite ol even doubling our piesent population the farmer will still be faced with economic prob lems of production. What the farmer can profitably grow is not measured in terms of what man can eat in the form of calories of production per acre but long-term trends In food habits and the income level of the people. When We begin to think of agri culture in terms of calories per acre and grow soy beans instead of beef for human food then we might begin to wonder when star vation will sweep the people from the land. As it is and will still be for a few decades to come, agri culture will have to cater to man's tnste In the consideration of crops mat win be profitable to raise I YOU MAY BE THE WINNER YOU RECEIVE FREE TICKETS WHEN YOU DRIVE IN.

I Even the age and composition ol the population has a bearing upon the human demand since the per capita demand by families for food of various kinds will vary consid erably depending upon how many teenagers are within the family circle a strong'factor to which any mother can most certainty testify. The income level of the people becomes one of the greatest fac tors in the economic position that wfll be taken by various foods as determined by human demands. If 20 per cent of our population is going to raise food for 80 per cent of us, - (or whatever this percent age is), that 20' per cent will be most vitally interested in how much money the majority of peo ple will have to spend for food. It is a well known fact that high er income levels mean Increased demand for" foods that are more expensive to produce, such as meats, poultry products, fresh fruits and vegetables. Under such an economic system yields are not measured in calories per acre to ward off famine. Varden Fuller, writing in the "California Monthly" has this to say for California agriculture, "The demands based upon nation a) population are of more signifi cance than those based upon the state's population. This is because only a minor proportion of the state's agriculture is on a state self-sufficiency basis; the bulk of our products fruits, vegetables. nuts, rice and cotton is exported from Uie state and sold on na tional and .international markets. For this major category of com modities, California production is accommodated much more to na tional and international demands than to those arising from within the state." Such crops as meats, poultry and feed grains, Fuller classifies as being "a secondary major cate- PICTURE FRAMING WSIEM 5H2P n awta ft. . no DRAWING IN KLAMATH FALLS SEPT. 20 at E.

"Here," he writes, "Call lomia markets have a significant though far from exclusive in fluence. Supplies and demands out side of California and the costs of transport share in being factors to which California production is accommodated." Fuller then goes to mention's third and comparatively small i category of the state's farm pro- ductlon." In this class he places! those commodities in which the state is self-sufficient, or approxi mately so and fluid milk is con sidered to be the major commodity in this group. Fuller believes that "barring revolutionary changes in the methods of handling and dis tributing fluid milk, this inudstry is likely to be the main industry upon which the size of the state's population will impress useii wun respect to necessary adjustments." From the standpoint' of the Cal itornia farmer, Fuller arrives at the conclusion that national popula tion changes will be a more impor tant factor than population change in the state itself.

AS BEAUTIFUL NEW METROPOLITAN HARDTOP DAY & NITE STATION Across from Gino's GUEST EDITORIAL Mr. Fisherman: Glen Crouch, District Ranger of the Sacramento District. Shasta Trinity National Forest states that or. either Saturday July 17 or Sun day morning July 18. you were fishing at Orev Rocks Lake at the head of the South Fork of Castle Creek. You built a campfire at the North Shore of the Lake, had your meal and afterw'ards you re turned home. You most likely had a wonderful time but here is what you did, what you caused and what your actions has cost the taxpayer. You did not extinguish your camp fire before you left for home. Your abandoned campfire bc?an to spread and the Girard Ridge look cut picked up the smoke. Being in a remote area and due to the heavy ground wind blowing at the time, a ground fire crew would not have been able to reach the fire soon enough to prevent a major fire. It was necessary to call 3 smokejumpers to parachute to the fire, followed up by a 4 man ground crew. The fire burned one acre of Forest Land before it was controlled. The only thing that pre vented a larger fire was bemg able to get smokejumpers to the fire shortly alter discovery. SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (jfl Mergers are flourishing these days as business firms realign themselves in the big competitive battle for your spending money Auto companies have been join ing forces and there's talk of still more mergers in this field. Banks in many parts of the na tion have been merging, or ready ing plans to merge. Textile company realignments have spiced the business news for weeks, as this harassed industry seeks ways to cut costs and lure enough consumer dollars to go around among its many small companies. Other industries paper, ma chinery, gas, to name a few also report merger moves under way. Since mergers make big ones out of little ones, the whole question of "big business" is likely to be kicked around this year. Federal agencies are reported looking some of the mergers over, to see if the anti-trust laws are Involved. Competitors of the newly formed or enlarged concerns may feel increased pressure on sales, or more difficulty in getting raw materials, if the bigger firm takes a dominant position. If the compe tion hurts, they can be depended upon to squawk about the mergers. The New York Stock Exchange is reported looking into some ol the stock trading that has accom panied or brought about some of the mergers. When the mergers might mean the closing of some plants and the concentration of the newly en larged company's activities in other plants, communities affect- IU1 The smokejumper and ground crew went equipped with regular fire fighting tools and food. These men used these tools to control the fire but as the area is rocky and there was a deep layer of dull and humus burning inside of the con trol line, it was necessary to parachute additional fire equip ment to the crew today, Monday July 18. The tools parachuted to the fire crew were a gas por table fire pump, 10 gallons of gasoline, suction hose, 660 feet of fire hose, additional food and miscellaneous pump supplies. Carelessness of this sort is an unnecessary cost to the taxpay ers. You can see that your care lessness was costly. Had you tak en just a few minutes of your time to have carried water in a pot from the lake to your camp fire, wet It down good, mixed the embers in water and then re wet the embers and mixed them again, then felt the em bers to be certain that they were dead out, this fire would have been a camp fire that had furnished its user with warmth and comfort. Yes, It would have taken five minutes of your time to make sure that it was out but you can now see what your care lessness has caused. ed may raise a protest. But mergers offer many advan tages in certain industries. Take banks. More than 700 com mercial banks have been absorbed into other banks in the last eight years. But the banking facilities for the nation, bankers say. haven't been cut, because during the same years almost as many new ones started up, and the opening of new branches has added about 2,000 banking offices to the nation's to tal. In the textile mergers, one ad vantage usually stressed is divers ificationwith many types of prod ucts a firm is hurt less from shift ing style trends. Another Is that In developing a broad range of products a firm can build up the appeal of a brand or company name. Costs are cut by having one sales force do the merchandising for two or more. Another advantage is financial. The industry's earning record isn't too hot just now. But the assets value of many companies are much better than present earnings indicate. And the costs of replacing plants at present inflated prices make an old company's facilities look like a bargain to any concern wanting to expand.

JORDAN. M.D. "Can I do anything about having my nose straightened? It wos knocked out of shape in a basket ball game." "I have an ugly scar on my cheek from an automobile acci dent. Can this be fixed by an op eration?" "Our baby boy was born with a small and strange looking left ear. Li it possible to correct this by surgery??" Such are the typical questions which "are asked about the work which can be done in the field of plastic surgery. There are an enormous number of things which can hap. pen to the human body, usually at the surface, which interfere with some function or with the appear tnce. There are burns and deform ing accidents in peace as well as in war. And Uiere are some who are born with defacements which harm the looks and consequently make for self-consciousness, if nothing more. Many of these things, both inborn and acquired, can be cor rected wholly or partially by plas tic surgery. This is a field which has ad vanced particularly during each of the world wars. The reason is ob vious, but our surgeons have risen to the challenge, and as a result remarkable reconstructive opera tions can be done today. Many people have been given practically new ears or noses, for example. This is no simple job. however, because it usually involves taking cartilage from a rib and trans planting it (after reshaping it to the desired form) to the propel place. i Then it has to grow a blood sup ply to keep it alive, and after a time one or more additional opera, tions have to be undertaken to cov. er the area with skin. It is an amazing thing, this plas tic surgery. When the problem is complicated, as is often the case, enormous patience is called for on the part of patient and surgeon alike." Sometimes a whole series of op erations some of them small ones over many months or even years have to be carried out before the jab is completed as far as Is possible. There are some risks involved, of course, but thousands can test ify to good results, and some are back living normal lives who would not have dared face ttreir fellow man unless they had been made to look more like the rest of us. Complicated plastic surgery Is not something to enter into lightly cither for the patient or the sur geon. The most skilled advice is desirable and beware of those who "promise" too much or "guaran tee" results. ACE MIMEO SERVICE 434 Main St, Phone 9297 MIMEOGRAPHING Same Day Service Ph. 4561 BUY NOW!
