The Bonanza Fire Department
has come up In the world. Now
they have one truck equipped with
a mobile radio unit, and plans
call lor another in the near lu
ture. The new rig Is on the same fre
quency as OTI and the Suburban
Fire Department, and thus puts
Bonanza in close touch with aid
should it become necessary.
A lot of credit Is due to the
men out there who have donated
so generously of their time and
money to provide adequate lire
protection for their district.
Klamath County con well be
proud of its various communities.
They'll stand up alongside any
region you core to name. And Bo
nanza Is certainly well up the list.

ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
Thoughtful people of the present
era are in a wonderful position to
prepare for the future. Unlike our
lathers of the years
past who had no experience in
being sole to look Into the future
we can look back upon their mis
takes; and, we can look forward.
To the early pioneer the wilder
ness was boundless, the very im
mensity was so overwhelming that
it was only natural he would think
our cup of natural resources was
Inexhaustible. A hundred years ago
even fifty years ago few people
could realize the tremenduous im
pact of expanding civilization. The
lew who did were considered
merely "crackpots" by the many.
During the dynamic years of our
early youth our fathers accepted
life as it came and had no thought
of shaping the course of the lu
ture until very suddenly, and in
our times, we discover we are on
a dead end street and Its end is
now within our Blunt. We still arc
people who are the vanguard of a
great civilization, behind us press.
cs the millions who are still to fol
lowcall them "posterity" if you
will. Being the vangunrd of this
civilization the moral obligation . Is
ours to do our best to plan for the
future. At one time such a thought
would be considered to be purely
visionary idealism that has no
place in a "practical" world of
business.
I remember very well the words
of Uncle Joe Cannon who was a
most "practical" politician, in a
hot debate with his fellow Senators
he expressed the whole philosophy
of our past approach to our treat
ment of natural resources when he
said: "Posterltyl Hclll What
has posterity done for me?" short,
simple and to the point, how
ever, modern business men arc be
ginning to discover that it pays, and
pays well to think about posterity:
it is not sufficient Just to live lor
today and let the future take care
of Itself.
If we arc to double our popula
tion in the next 20 years I would
be inclined to believe we had bet
ter do some serious planning,
"Now," and not wnlt until we arc
forced to do so. Of courso It is not
as if this great increase Is to be
suddenly forced upon us that we
would be faced with a sudden ao
cute problem, the growth will be
gradual but the problem exists nev
ertheless. The demands of population can
be read in the records of statistical
research. Thus we know todny that
we are bound to face continued
changes In the demands of agri
cultural products. The trends In
our eating habits since the start
of the century have been especial

These significant changes have
not taken place in a vacuum or

some bureaucratic organization.
But the changes which have taken
place can be directly charged to
posterity. Cannon's philosophy was

No better example of the ln-

can be had than that shown by
the state of California. Up to 1848

early settlement of that great

been described as the romantic,
pastoral era, the dally pace was
more or less sleepy and slow and
the land was self sufficient for
itself. During the early Spanish
conquest and occupation, a little
beef and grain and some fruits
were needed to supply the simple
demands of the garrisons and
missions, to feed the natives, and
to settle the country. Cattle were
more valued for their hides than

Then in 1848 came a revolution

events which is always entwined
with the growth of Industry. John
Marshall discovered gold at Sut

TELLING THE EDITOR
PRAISE
As we sat listening to the pastor
of the Presbyterian Church over
the radio this morning, one of the
things he said Impressed us very
much. "To write down the things
we believed." This gave us the
idea that there Is many things we
believe, one Is that the people of
Klamath Falls cannot be sur
passed for their hospitality and
and helpfulness to strangers pass
ing through their city.
June 23rd we were passing
through on our way north, when
Just north of town our car and
trailer swerved off the highway
due to a loose wheel on the trail
er. After coming to a stop we dis
covered that my wile had an In
jured shoulder. Within minutes a
highway patrol stopped and offered
to radio for a tow car, this was
a but help. Then a police took
down all the particulars of the
accident. He was very courteous
and understanding of our predica
ment. A big line truck driver
stopped, offered to help and gave
us four red tlares to caution irar
fic.
Next a car stopped with a man
and his wife, who offered to toke
mv wife to the hospital In Klam
ath Falls many miles out of their
way, as they were only going as
far as Modoc Point. We gratefully
accepted their kind offer. The nur
ses and doctor gave my wife the
verv best of care. Their cneenui-
ness In attending her no oouDi in
mv mind speeded her recovery
The garage ln.Ch!loquln and the
garage in Klamath Falls had ex
pert mechanics and their charges
were very reasonable. Our trailer
was only dented slightly and the
Inside undamaged.
After a week In the hospital my
wife was brought to the trailer,
where we have a fine view of the
city and Inke on the north ond
through the lront window mi. snos
ta's beautiful snow covered peak
makes a wonderful setting.
All through the five weeks we
have been here, the people of this
city with whom we have been in
contact, have treated us in a
friendly and helpful way.
We were unable to attend church
this morning, so listened over the
radio to a fine sermon by a pastor
Klamath Falls can well be proud
of. Next Sunday will be our last
Lday In Klamath Falls and we hope
to hear another sermon in anotner
denomination of which we are a
member when we are at home and
I am sure we will be well repaid.
We will always have a kind feel
ing as time goes on. for the very
pleasant time we spent In Klam
ath Falls. My wife and I again
thank you.

TOO BAD
As a former newspaper woman
I have attended many court trials
and am familiar with court pro
cedures.
When the present difficulties In
the Klamath courts became seri
ous I was overcome with curiosity
and I decided to do a little sleujh-
ing to see what was going on.
I wish more people In our fine
community could have listened 10
the last few trials in June It
was a revelation to me.
At first I felt sorry for Mr. Al-
derson because he was apparently
so Inexperienced, asking bungling
and Improper questions and I
squirmed as I listened to him gum
up his cases. Judge Vandenberg ap
peared frustrated but he showed in
finite patience trying desperately to
assist the District Attorney even
to the point where the defending
attorney objected.
Listening to recent radio reports
of court records two thirds of the
cases dismissed in the past two
years in circuit court were dis
missed at the request of the D A.
himself.
According to newspaper reports,
a feud Is going on between Judge
Vandenberg and District Attorney
Alderson, however the same un
happy condition seems to exist in
District Judge Van Vactor's court.
He recently cried out at the inef
ficiency of the District Attorney
and stated he had "covered up"
for the miscarriage of the D.A. of
fice until he was embarrassed and
humiliated.
Both our judgos are men of In
tegrity and bolh are veteran at
torneys with' excellent records.
To me It teems to be an intoler
able situation 'and truly lamenta
ble that our high officials upstate
could find no remedy.

One of them concerns the drag
and chicken out races practiced by
quite a number of our young peo
ple and so many times ending in

stamped it out by leveling heavy
fines, loss of license and car. etc.
They also have a speedway for

ful eye of officers of the law. They
usually realize how ridiculous it
all is after a trial run and promise
to Denave in the future.
The, other concerns the poor
acoustics at the Armory. I under
stand that many large halls have
been strung with piano wire which
is very cheap and the results are
amazing. As it Is. when a large
crowd gathers In the Armory, no
one can near tne music unless near

MONEY RAISER
I enjoy reading your "In the
Day's News." It is the first thing
I read every night.
I know you have an open mind
so I would like to point out a few
reasons why I think we should have
a professional money raiser in our
United Fund.
Many people wilr get tired and
quit giving If we don't run it as a
business as you run your busi
ness. To do that, we need a full
time professional to get the most
money and make the necessaiy
vast number of voluntary workers'
time and energy really pay off.
it tne need Is there for the
amount of money that was raised
this year, let's not go back to the
failures of the past seven or eight
years.
As a past professional money
raiser. I think you must have a
year around educational campaign.
enective leadership, and proper
timing. You can only get that by
professional direction.
In my opinion, with limited
knowledge of the past four years
in Klamath Falls, the two biggest
boosts to this community were the
successful professional campaigns
of the Chamber of Commerce and
the United Fund.
Mr. Jenkins, I'll close these gen
eral statements with the thought
that I'm quite sure that facts and
figures of past campaigns, the
present books, and future prob
lems, will show the need of a pro
fessional man for our United Fund
now.

. NEW YORK (yP) Steel executives
today sound optimistic although
their business is unusually slow
even for July.
Steel shares are bid up on the
Stock Exchange although steel
earnings are down from a year
ago generally, and new orders
aren't crowding steel mill books.
Why? Steel spokesmen cite these
reasons for their confidence that
fail will see a pick-up:
1. Business couldn't get much
worse than it Is now. Buying in
June to beat the steel price boost
borrowed from July business. Nev-
ei before have so many steel-using
factories closed in July for vaca
tions and never have the closings
been so long. Business must go up,
they argue.
3. A general business pick-up
seems in the cards for fall, and
steel will share it. . Inventories
including those of steel users are
down, and when steel users start
buying again (perhaps all at once)
they'll be paying higher prices for
tneir metal.
3. Many believe that the na
tion's defense spending is due for
an increase after the November
elections. This would pep up the
metal-working Industries and busi
ness In general.
Guns popping in the China Sea
strengthen their belief. Some now
argue that the Indochina truce may
turn out to be increasing Far East
tension rather than allaying it.
Unfriendly forces face each other
from Japan to Singapore and trig
ger fingers sometimes get nervous.
The President's decision to hike
the Swiss watch tariff Is even used
in this argument. The decision
stressed this nation's need, in un
easy times, to strengthen the do
mestic watch industry because pre
cision instruments are essentia!
for war.
And steclmen note an increasing
amount of worrying i:i this country
about our Allies' attitudes, and in
creasing talk of the need to be
prepared to go It alone militar
ily, if necessary.
All of this leads some to be
lieve that defense orders will be
stepped up after the elections.
The Iron Age, tile metalworklng
industry's weekly, says editorially
today, in listing Its reasons for
believing that steel business is due
for a boost: "If we are going to
be tough and draw a line in Asia
and Europe we will have to have
more for defense than we are now
spending."
Benjamin F. Falrless, chairman
of U.S. steel, lists some other rea
sons why he expects steel business
to turn the corner late next month:
The auto industry will start buy
ing steel again when It goes into
production this fall on the new
models. The program for building
grain storage bins will mean more
buying of galvanized sheets. Even
the demand for steel from the rail
roads may pick up soon, he hopes.
And the construction Industry,
steel's busiest customer at pres
ent, seems assured of continued
hiRh activity for months ahead.
The current picture isn't that
rosy. Steel production this week
is using only two-thirds of industry
capacity. Steelmen stress, however
that 15 per cent of their capacity
should be considered as standby
for national security, and was built
with possible war needs in mind.

WASHINGTON tfl In the time
left before Congress quits for the
year the target date is Aug. 7
it seems certain very little, 11
any, anti-Communist legislation
can get through.
President Eisenhower says he
will be more than bitterly disap
pointed if his administration's do
mestic anti-Communist proposals
don't pass. Some of his lieuten
ants, inside and outside Congress,
express hope they will.
But Congress has not passed a
single one of the major requests
made by the President or Atty.
Gen. Browncll for new laws to
curb the Communists.
The House has passed six pieces
of anti-Communist, legislation, the
Senate only one. The latter Is not
the same as ony of the six passed
by the House. Not one bill has
been approved by notn.
Almost all the anti-Communist
legislation has been handled by
two committees of Congress: The
House and Senate Judiciary Com
mittees. To see the handicaps
ahead, look at the usual procedure
before a bill can become law:
Taking the House as a starter,
first the committee's subcommit
tee must approve, then the full
committee. Then the full House
must give Its okay.
On the Senate side, the commit
tee's subcommittee must approve,
then the full committee, then the
full Senate.
But the full committee in
House or Senate may never get
around to acting on what Its sub
committee blessed. And even if the
full committee also approves and
sends a bill up for a floor vote,
the measure may never get called
up for consideration.
But eyen when House and Sen
ate finally approve similar bills
there can't be any new law if there
are differences between those bills.
The two houses must then Iron out
the differences and approve the
compromise.
This Is where the anti-Communist
legislation stands:
The only bill passed by the Sen
ate It was in 1953 was one to
give a witness immunity from
federal prosecution in return for
testimpny he could otherwise re
fuse to give under tne constitu
tional guarantee against forced
sell-incrimination. (This is still in
the hands of the House Judiciary
Committee.)
Here are the six bills passed by
the House, with their present sit
uation in the Senate:

Committee approved It with
changes and it now awaits full

3. A heavier penalty for harbor,
ing fugitives, such as the four
Communist leaders who jumped
bond after their conviction several
years ago. (Still not approved by
the Senate committee.)
3. Compulsory registration of
spies and saboteurs. (Approved
by the Senate committee and
awaiting full Senate action.)
4. Taking away the citizenship of
anyone convicted of advocating
overthrow of the government by
force. (The Senate committee has
not acted.)
5. Permitting the government to
use wiretap information in court
trials. (The Senate subcommittee
has approved with changes, but
there has been no action by the
full committee.)
6. Requiring Communist and
Communist-front organizations to
list all their printing equipment
with the government. (No Senate
committee action.)
In addition, here Is proposed
legislation wrecked or boxed-up:
Brownell asked for stlffer laws
against perjury. (The Senate com.
mittee killed this.)
Brownell asked a law giving an
employer in a defense plant the
right to fire suspected subversives
He also proposed that any organ
ization, including a business or la
bor union, which is Communist-Infiltrated
must register with the
government and dissolve.
The Senate committee approved
both proposals but the House com
mittee just about murdered both by
suggesting, as a substitute idea,
that an 18-man commission be ap
pointed to study both problems and
report back to Congress next year.
The one administration propo
sal which got the most attention
wire-tapping probably has no
chance at all.
