If the pluns of the Ray-O-Vac
company are carried oui mere aie
going to be a lot of bewildered
wives and families baolt in Wls-
A release from one of their offi
cials tells us ol plans lor the com-
onnmil K:ilPS meetllHi. Alld
It sounds like u real dcau The
men will leave for tneir omccs juoi
as usual, with no mention of what
Is In store lor them. Tiicy will be

wlinre they will entrain lor Colo
rado and spena a ween m a wuuy
ranch. ' ' : -
The release doesn't, say what they
will do about clothes for the trip.
Unless people bac, in Wisconsin
traditionally dress for business In
Levis and boots I'm afraid a few
of Ihe lads will find their sharp
suits a little out Qf line for life
on a ranch, oven a plush dudo
outfit. .
Nor does It say what will hap
pen to frantic wives when they
get a card from hubby, post
marked Colorado, saying "having
a wonderful time, wish you were
here."
I can well Imagine the conster
nation that is liable to strike the
household when this bombshell ex
plodes. Sure, maybe the company
can explain. But what about the
wife who wanted to go Along, too?
And the dinner date with Aunt
Jane, who was due the Tuesday
after lover boy left the house.'
And a thousand other little items?
The company -feels that this ap
proach will get away from the
"stuffy" atmosphere of. a regular
sales meeting and will undoubt
edly Increase sales for the coming
year.
I agree with them that It will
get away from anything stuffy. It
may, in fact, get completely away.
If figures don't He then It looks
like the wild and wooly West is
about to become a little crowded.
NAM has come out with a prog
nostication that Oregon will see a
34 percent Increase in population
by 1960. That would put the head
count at - two million forty one
thousand. Right now we have a
million six hundred thousand peo
ple. The experts go ahead to say
that Washington wlil grow by 27
psreent, Idaho by 21 percent and
Montana will swell her population
by 15 percent.
Looks like it's gonna be so tight
nround these parts you'll have to
bring along your own log to sit on.
I'd hate to be the only editor
in the nation not to take advan
tage of the opportunity to get In
my two bits worth on the latest
Dior style orders.
Despite the fact that the
audience at his show was reported
io have been wildly enthusiastic,
my attitude Is strictly "Phooiel"
On top of making practically
all women look ridiculous, think of
the Irreparable damage It will do
to the pin-up trade. The millions
of pictures, all on the curvy side,
that will have to be stripped from
die walls and tossed in the ash
can. Think of our thriving falsies
trace. Imagine their factories ly
ing idle while the manufacturers of
the Sloppy Joe sweater (which will
undoubtedly boom up In popular
ity again) run full blast. Our at
titude, sir, is negative.
ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
Perhaps In no segment of our
economy will the pressure of pop
ulation be exerted greater than In
the use and development of the
wildwood areas and here we are
faced by the greater conflicts.
Professor John A. Zlvnuska of the
University of California School ol
Forestry, writing In the current
issue, of "California Monthly,"
poses a number of thoughtful
questions:
"Can the forests of California,"
asks Zlvnuska, "yield as much
lumber In the next 20 years as
In the pant 100 years? Can they
simultaneously provide the raw
material base for new forest In
dustries? Do some of the non
forest areas of brush or chapar
ral hold promise as an undeveloped
agricultural frontier? Can the
value of all these lands as the pri
mary watersheds of the slate be
Increased through appropriate
handling of the cover? Can the
use of these wild lands by camp
ers, picnickers, hikers, skiers,
and other rccrcotlonists and tour
ists be tripled and still provide the
values in living which attract
such use? Above all, can these
many things be done while still
maintaining and Improving the
productive potential of these
lands?" .
The questions Zlvnuska asks
arc vital to any area that
possesses large tracts of forest
lands and are problems already
presenting themselves for solution
as the upswing of population
forces them acutely Into public at
tention. Increasing population by
Its force must bring about major
adjustments in the present day
pattern of land use. Unfortunate
ly, the general public Is hardly
awaro of the tremendous Impor
tance of the wild lands as an es
senllul part of the economy of a
slate: and. even communities with
in the forest areas tall to realize
Ihe great potentials available at
their door step.
Zlvnuska points out some of the
stutlsllcs Involved In the forest
problem of California, where over
16 million acres of land are best
suited to the production ol a for
est resource. Along with this basic
forest land there is an additional
29 million acres of other lands
covered with woody vegetation, i
theso arc the chaparral or brush
lands that are attracting much at- j
trillion of technologists in their
present studies of brush 1 a n d I
inaiumrnient. As I recall, the state
of Calilornia covers some 100.000.- j
0O0 ai res of land. Forest areas i
and brush lands occupy 45 million
acres or practically one hnlf the
area of the stale.
In direct contrast to these (la
ures of wild lands of the slote Is
that of the Irrigated agricultural
land. In 1950 thero was approxi
mately 7,000,000 acres of agricul
tural lands under Irrigation and
present studies Indicate that with
ultimate development about 17,
000,000 acres will be brought un
der Irrigation.
The mountain areas, therefore,
become a very Important part in
the California picture because It
is from the watersheds of the
wild lands of the state that the
Irrigated agricultural land must
depend for its water supply. Tills
Important fact Is beginning to
dawn upon the people who occupy
tne vancy lands and they In turn
are starting to take an Interest
In how the forest lands (from
which come their supply of wa
ter) are managed.
Zlvnuska mentions the fact that
John Marshall discovered gold
while working In the tallrace of a
new sawmill and that In the 106
years that have passed since the
building of this early mill, ap
proximately 118 billion board feet
of lumber have been taken from
the forests of the state. He Illus
trates the impact of rising popula
tion on tne forest by pointing to
the fact that one-fourth of this
tremendous volume of lumber hos
been cut since the end of World
War II. Since 1941 the annual
production of lumber In the state
has expanded from 2.3 billion
board feet to the current level of
5 billion board feet.
That the forests of California
are of great Importance to the
state Is pointed out In the demand
that future population growth will
have lor forest products. Roughly
ii is esiimated that It will be
come necessary to double the ex
isting supply of housing and re.
lated facilities In the coming 20
years. While lumber is beginning
to face increasing competition
from other building materials, In
cluding other forest products, It
Is to be expected some displace
ment of lumber from its tradition
al uses will develop. This, how
ever, will not offset the Increase
In total economic activity which Is
expecied will bring about a rise
in demand lor lumber at current
price levels during this period ol
expansion of population. Past ex
perience would Indicate that the
generol expanding national de
mand for forest products will
probably prevent California from
obtaining increased supplies from
other forest regions. Thus Califor
nia's problem is clear upon wise
forest management the state
must largely depend to sustain i
Hie necessary demands of it's fu- ;
lure population growth. !

HAL BOYLE
RAPID CITY, S.D. ,g Leaves
irom a touring reporter's note
book: They have fresh hens' eggs
on restaurant menus here and
60-milllon-year-old Dinosaur eggs
in museums.
But tile naive tourist will do well
to beware of any souvenir bar
gains offered him in dried porcu
pine eggs. They arc nothing but
dried cockle-burrs, fixed up by
local pranksters to kid the visitors.
The Black Hills, home of Iree
roaming buffalo and the famous
Mt. Rushmore Memorial, has had
a fabulous past. The area now has
become one of the nation's big
tourist meccas, but a guy from out
of town finds it bard to know what
to believe. For the folks here still
have the old pioneer fondness for
a good yarn, whether It is actually
a true story or only a tall tale.
Take Wind Cave, for example,
which has 10 miles of explored
passageways and several huge
chambers. One called "The Bridal
Chamber" was so-named, accord
ing to a guide, because of a girl
who figured the only way she could
carry out a promise to her moth
er fhe would never marry the best
man on earth and still get the
guy she wanted: was to marry
him In the cavern.
But no such ceremonies have
been allowed, according to the
same guide, because "naturally the
government doesn't want to run
matrimony into the ground."
Everyone recalls the tragic fate
of Gen. George A. Cusler and
more than 200 men wiped out in
the Batlle of the Little Big Horn
River in Montana on June 25, 1876.
The Indians, who always resent
ed the fact the battle was called
a "massacre," still point out that
Ihe white troops were fully armed
and they weren't packing water
pistols.
Few today remember, however,
that Custer was sent to the Black
Hills In 1874, following the financial
panic of 1873, to check on reports
the hills held gold.
Custer set forth on his Journey
from a fort on the present site of
Bismarck, N.D.. with a force of a
thousand men led by a brass band
mounted on white horses. The ex
pedition, accompanied by the son
of President U.S. Grant, carried
a supply of champagne In 11k wag
ons. (Presumably they cooled it In
mountain streams; there were no
ice salesmen along the route).
The strange caravan did find
gold on Aug. 2. 1874 in the Black
Hills, which for centuries the In
dians had held to be the Inviolate
home of Manltou, the great spirit.
Less than two years later Custer,
neither the first nor the last Amer
ican military leader to underrate
an enemy, and the men with him
were washed out by waves of van
ishing redskins who didq't choose
at that particular moment to vanish.
No band blared on that dav. and
It wasn't champagne that flowed.
Wild Bill Hickok lives in legend
as one of the West's great gunmen.
Although some scholars believe he
may have bored to death more
people than he drilled.
But undoubtedly he was a tall.
handsome, picturesque figure. The
undertoker who laid him out for
burial altT a deadbeat shot him
to death In a Deadwood saloon
described him as "the prettiest
corpse I ever have seen." It Isn't
every day a man gets a hearttelt
compliment like that.
Highwaymen made the shipment
of gold a risky business for ex
press companies in old Deadwood.
The shipments were kept as secret
as possible with one exception.
That was the lime Wyatt Earp,
an authentic gun fighter, rode as
guard on the stage. Earp, who had
made hits name earlier as marshal
of bloody Dodge City and Abilene,
had spent an unprofitable year
selling wood and eoal In Dead
wood. He agreed to go as guard
on the stage to Cheyenne for pas
sage money and $50 cash and be
cause he wanted to move on.
The express agent Immediately
inserted a newspaper ad advising
bullion shippers:
"The spring cleanup will leave
for Cheyenne oh the regular stage
at 7 a.m. next- Monday. Wyatt
Earp will ride shotgun."
The shippers, eager for this kind
of protection, loaded $200,000 on
the coach. Earn got the shipment
through on time and without inci
dent except for winging a passing
horseman he thought rode too
close.
Even In the Wild West adver
tising paid.
The Doctor Says
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D.
A common ailment and one

A This presumably refers to
wnat are known as plantar warts
on the soles of the feet. They are
frequently extremely difficult to
cure or relieve. Methods common
ly used are X-ray, radium, elec
tru-surgcry, and operation. The best
possible medical advice should be
secured. .
Q Why does a woman gain
weight so easily after a female
operation? ' Mrs. L.
A From eating too much. Ef
fects on the glands or metabolism
are generally of little or no im
portance.
Q A friend of mine weighs 170
pounds and 16 continuously taking
a laxative to help her lose weight.
What will eventually, happen to
her? B. J.
A She will probably get on Ir
ritated digestive tract. That Is not
a good way to lose weight.
O My doctor wants ine to take
gold treatments for arthritis.
What do you think of this? Mrs. P.
A This Is one of the most wide
ly used forms of treatment for
somo kinds of arthritis. The re
sults sometimes ore excellent but
the treatments have to be given
with considerable care and the pa
tient watched carefully for any
sign of reaction to the gold.

Sam Dawson
NEW YORK Wl The first 418
corporations to report on earnings
show that profits from American
industry and trade are running
neck and neck today with booming
1953.
But for an unusually large num
ber of corporations, the profit and
loss statements are either very
good or very bad.
Half of the companies are do
ing better than last year some
blazing new trials into record high
profits for the first half of- the
year. The general business slump
may have cut their sales totals,
but lighter taxes push them into
new high ground.
Just about as many are trailing
last year's first six months' earn
ings. And 17 of the companies
operated in the red so far this
year. Only five did a year ago.
Utilities and communication
companies gained much more than
did Industrials. Railroads were
dragging 25 of the 28 showing de-
cllnes in earnings this year, and
tour reporting net losses.
"The 416 corporations' combined
net profit after taxes comes to
$3,335,328,254. The same companies
earned $3,268,213,308 in the first
half of 1953. This nuts them 2 ner
cent ahead this year, with 211 of
them showing gains over a year
ago.
The 368 Industrials in the list
had combined earnings 6.7 per
cent ahead of a year ago. The 20
utilities showed a combined In
crease of 51 per cent. But the 28
rails were off 44 per cent.
Biggest gains this year were
made by aircraft companies, re
flecting defense spending as well
as tax relief. Motors reporting so
far are ahead, with General Mo
tors' gains setting the pace. The
end of the excess profits tax
helped here.

Unusual Tax
Dodges Reported
WASHINGTON W The Internal
Revenue Service, says Commis
sioner T. Coleman Andrews
doesn't want to be unfair. But It
views with decided disdain such
income-tax dodges as:
Charging $48,000 for "call girls"
as a business expense.
Claiming deductions for lingerie,
perlume and Cadillacs for lady
friends.
Listing the cost of a private
swimming pool as a "water puri
fication experiment."
Andrews told a House Ways and
Means subcommittee yesterday of
these actual attempts to avoid
taxes.
One businessman claimed the
cost of his groceries as a legiti
mate deduction. His theory, An

wife was in the grocery store, she
might contact prospective customers."
