A V S By BILL JENKINS About every so often the aver age man has to climb up on his personal pedestal and make a few predictions. Mostly, of course, they are quite sale In doing so for tbe prognostications are merely ver bal and easily forgotten. When you write 'em down you nuke a mark In the dust that might not be forgotten so readily. But at the risk of being wrong, a risk, incidentally, that worries me very little, having been wrong so often, I'll make at least one prediction for the coming year. I think that the next session of the Oregon legislature will see a bill presented and in all probabil ity passed requiring any politician currently In olllce who flics for a higher office to resign his pres ent office prior to such filing. Otherwise we are going to find ourselves in a position of having ambitious men in office who con tinue to file for office after office, knowing that they have safe sanc tuary in their current office should the voters refuse to elevate them. It seems to us that there Is a dangerous potentiality In this busi ness of chain filing. Imagine the feelings of a man who is currently, shall we say, a state representa tive, who files for the post of ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD A few days ago I was talking with one of our prominent citizens who happens to be a new-comer to this Klamath Land and fortun alt to escape from the clutches of the big city. Naturally we talked about the field of outdoor recrea lion, which, to the business man pells dollars In tourist business. He has been long enough within the community to notice that many of our prominent citizens appear to be allergio toward the problems of giving encouragement to the out door recreational movement. He asked "What Is the matter with these fellows that they neglect this opportunity?" then continued with: 'We ought to be Retting five times the tourist business that we are now doing To be asked such a question by a comparative new-comer was bit startling and while I probably could have given him the answer, I didn't he will be around long enough to find out the answer him self.

At. any rate we think such a res- olutlon will be presented and passed.

Smallest fire of the season was promptly taken care of by the KFPA men the other day. It cov ered Just exactly two- square feel. Some fisherman had stopped by a stream, sat down on a log and enjoyed a smoke and then stubbed his clgaret out on the log itself.

As a race of people, we Ameri cans have grown great upon the reckless abandon with which we have destroyed our natural re sources and our fathers did their best to leave us a legacy of aban doned waste, we, too, arc following closely in their footsteps. There have been a few individuals who have been fur-scoing who have had the vision and courage to warn us of the dangers on the course we pursue. The very fact that we still have something lelt today for the Amer leans, of the future Is directly due to those few brilliant leaders with vision, whose understanding permitted them to foresee the im portant social nerds of the future. Perhaps we should say, "the hu man needs" since any social struc ture of value rests upon the strength of Its Individuals. Today we are living In a period wneie we begin to see the end of the street. Are we going to have the vision to meet our obligation or will we drift along and wait for the fair haired boy on the while horse?

The monument is Ranch "A," one of the Jabulous showplaces ot the West. Local residents tell this story of Its origin: In the early 1830's the late Moses Annenberg. multi-millionaire publisher, passing through this area on a motor tour to Yel lowstone Park, stopped for dinner in a restaurant in a nearby town. He was served trout, and found them amazingly succulent. "Where did these come from?" I he asked. He was told they came from Sand Creek, which some ex perts regard as one of the two best trout streams in the world I (the other is in Switzerland. . . or Colorado. , ' .or wherever you caught your last trout). Tie next morning Annenberg drove to the heart of this fisher man's paradise, took a long look at the beautiful salmon-colored cliffs and the clear-f lowing stream, and said two words to the owner: "How much:" He bought it on the spot. In the next few years Annen berg Is reported to have spent approximately a million dollars on the ranch. The great lodge It has eight bedrooms and six baths was built of huge logs, and filled with line hand-carved West ern style furniture. He put in a nine-car garage, a huge barn In which each horse had its own automatic drinking fountain. The draperies in the lodge are of horsehldc, elaborately beaded. The giant Navajo rugs can no longer be duplicated; looms that size no longer exist. Ranch "A" (for Annenberg) Is small as ranches go out here only 680 acres, slightly more than a square mile. But it is a fisn THE DOCTOR SAYS By EDWIN P. TORDAX, M.D. An annoying but not usually dangerous condition is the subject of today's first inquiry. Q My eyes frequently fill up with water though I do not cry, and cause my vision to be some what clouded. Somtlmes the tears drip over the lids and even run down my face. What can you sug gest? Mrs. T. E. A Excessive watering of the eyes Is extremely common and may arise Irom cny one of sev eral different causes. Tearing of the eyes is made worse by sun. wind and dust cr any other for eign body) and Is fairly common in hay fever and some of the other allergies. There are said to be two main types: Excessive se cretion of tears, and failure of the tears to drain out through the normal passageway or blockage of tly; lacrimal or tearing pass- ,Kes.

Chitwond BOBBY CHAMPION and Melody Wranglers ARMORY Saturday, August 7 DANCING 9 'til 1 Admittion $1.00 person (tax. inc.) BOYLE ranch, not a beef ranch. It has some 40 elk, 200 deer, and flocks of wild turkey and ruffed grouse but its main stock is In its Uowing hatchery housing several hundred thousand delectable trout. Is the fishing good? Sen. Bricker of Ohio once cast a fly from the front porch of the lodge and hauled in a 14-pound rainbow beauty. Annenberg, who also maintained fishing lodges in Florida and Penn sylvania, came here less frequent ly in his later years and disposed of the property before his death. It is now owned by Pete Smith, 6-foot 7 son of a former Wyoming governor. Smith estimates it would take two to three million dollars at to day' prices to duplicate the lav ish splendor of Ranch "A." "Annenberg built it to last for ever and it should last for ever," he said. "I've been told that each of the bronze casement windows cost J1.600." Pete and his pretty wife. Oydls, love the quiet charm of seclusion of their canyon retreat. They can sit on the porch at evening and watch elk come cautiously out to graze on the 1,000 foot ledges that ooruer murmuring sand creek. "One of the nicest things is that no dust gets into the lodge," said Oydls, giving a housewife's view. But tempting as it is as a place to loaf, Pete, who has been a cat tleman all his life, has decided that even a showplace ought to show a profit. "There is no reason this hatch ery can't harvest 150,000 pounds of 'trout a year," he said, "and trout brings a dollar a pound." One single fish dinner led to the building of Ranch "A." But a lot more trout now will have to go tc market to keep It going. powders I use for dishwashing and laundry. This Is complicated by some other allergy present In side my own house which does not bother me anywhere else I happen to be. As there are no oe'.s in the house I am puzzled to know what Is the cause. Mystified. A This Is a problem for a medical detective. It may be hard to locate the cause. In one similar famous case a number of years ago the source was traced tu the ink of the Sunday comics in the newspapers and trouble did not appear on other days of the week. You will have to seek some sim ilar obscure cause at home. Q Would you please explain the difference betveen pulse rt'e and pulse pressure?- R. M. A Pulse rate Is a measure of the frequency of the beating of tne nean. Each time the heait contracts It will show in tha pulse and, therefore, the rapidity of the heart beat can be measured. Tne pulse pressure is the difference between presure of the blood on the wall of the arterv between the high point when the heart is con tracting and the low point when the heart is relaxing. Q Please discuss the possible reaction. It any, to tetanus toxoid. Six months ago my daugnier. age 6. was given tetanus antitoxin be cause of a bad cut and she jui- severe serum sickness. I was advised to give tetanus tox oid now. Mrs. P. H. A You received good advice. The tetanus antitoxin give only temporary Immunity and If your daughter needed it again she might get another and possibly even more severe reaction. The tetanus toxoid creates a much more permanent resistance or im. munity and since it Is prepared in a different way severe leac tions practically nev?r occur. Q I have an acute case of the Former POW Faces Trial For Murder LEXINGTON, Tenn. (f A for mer Korean prisoner of war, his dream of being sheriff shattered, sat quietly In a cell today await ing trial on a charge of murder , James A. Cogburn, 33, a disap pointed candidate who started shooting after the vote went against him, was trapped by a massive posse near here yester day. His brother, 31-year-old Roy. wounded by two state highway pa trolmen during the manhunt, was in fair condition at a hospital in nearby Jackson, Tenn. A third man, James Cbadwick. 35, of Knoxville, Tenn., surren dered meekly. He caught a ride with Cogburn while hitchhiking some weeks ago and stayed on when promised a job as deputy sheriff. The manhunt' was ordered after a wild gunfight in which Lexington Patrolman Arthur Gurley, 50. was killed and Police Chief Clovis Stanfill critically wounded." The early-morning battle oc curred in front of the courthouse where election officials were tal lying the vote which showed James Cogburn running a poor third in the Henderson County sheriff's race. Cogburn, after his capture, told oincers tne violence exploded over "dishonest politics." Police officers said James Cog- ourn naa been acting "peculiar" ever since he was released from a Korean prison ramn to find that his wife, believing him dead, had remarried. .She later divorced Cogburn and remarried her "extra" husband. American To Resume Sales NEW YORK iff A spokesman for the struck American Airlines says, starting today, the line will accept plane reservations "on a tentative basis, with alternale transportation belnjr arranged if the strike Is still on 48 hours before flight time." American was grounded last Sat urday by a strike of the API, Air line Pilots Assn. The pilots have demanded a 20-mlnute stopover to change crews on the line's nonstop East to West coast flights. Such runs require more than eight hours per flight. The spokesman said the decision to accept "provisional" reserva tions was made soon after the walkout began, but it was not to become operative until after mid night last night. He added that there was no Im mediate Indication of when or where negotiations might resume in the dispute. SKRMONS VIENNA.

In Aiken County, officers arrest ed 16 men and women in one night of raids on "honky-tonks" and "Juke box joints." They were ac cused of prostitution, gambling and illeeal whisky sales. Gov. James P.

PRESCRIPTIONS BY PHONE 4321 JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON Ul The French still stall on approving a single European Army which would in clude Frenchmen and Germans The United States and Britain have Indicated, It the stall contin ues, they will consider granting the . West Germans sovereignty. It's guarded talk, more like a nudge. The word sovereignty In Ger many's case sounds bigger than it is. It wouldn't mean full Independ ence. Nor would it mean immedi ate rearmament. It might mean that later. r But giving Germany sovereignty without French approval could lead to an, Anglo-American split with the French. The United States has looked upon an unarmed Germany as soft spot In Western Europe against possible Russian attack. But- how could the Germans be permitted to rearm without letting them be come a menace again to their neighbors? The solution seemed to lie in a single European Army called EDC, the European Defense Community. That single army would be made up of troops Irom France, Ger many, Italy. Belgium, Luxem bourg, the Netherlands. It would be about a two-million-man force, all wearing the same uniforms and unoer a single command. The Ger man contribution would be perhaps 500.000 men. Although this would let the Ger mans rearm to a limited degree, they still couldn't have a separate, national army under a revived German general staff. The EDC idea seemed all right to the French, when they first proposed it several years ago. Later the French had second thoughts. Some Frenchmen feared the thought of a Germany rearmed at all. Some foresaw Germany as the possible dominator of EDC. EDC couldn't come Into existence without French approval. The French delayed although all other participants except Italy gave their okay. The United States kept press ing. Nothing happened. Finally French Premier Mendes-France said he would put the question to the French Assembly before It ad journed this month. Meantime, he has run into other troubles which may sidetrack EDC. There are two important agree ments in the background, involv ing the United states. France Britain, and West Germany. One was made at Bonn, the West Ger ANNOUNCEMENT' Paul M. Noel, D. M.D. James H. Noel, D. M.D. Donald P. Noel, B.S., D. M. D. hove token over the offices of Boyd S. Sprogue. 1435 Eost Moin Street. . Jomes H. Noel is now toking op oointments for dentol work. Dr. Poul M. Noel ,m his pr0:ll!., to denture construction and will toke op oomtments on or obout September 15th. Dr. Donold P. Noel now is serving with the U.S. Air Force. man capital, the other at Paris. The Bonn agreement covers the question of restoring sovereignty to Germany. The Paris agreement covers creation of EDC. In short, the agreements sav: There can be no sovereignty for Germany until EDC comes into part of it and Germany therefore not free to set up its own army. The French can protest the Uni ted States and Britain have bro ken the two agreements if they attempt to give Germany sov ereignty before the French ap prove JiiDC. But, by that Teasoning, West Germany could be kept unarmed forever if the French never let EDC come into existence. That's the dilemma the United States and Britain face in wanting to keep Fiance a firm ally and at the same time patching up the solt spot of an unarmed Germany. Right now United States, Brit ish and French troops occupy three zones of West Germany, And representatives of those three, called high commissioners, keep some control over the West Ger man government. For instance, they can veto sertaln kinds ot leg islation passed by the German par liament. As an example: Laws on cartels. Also, they control West Germany's relations with other government?. If Germany is granted sov ereignty, the three high commis sioners take the title of ambassa dors. They will no longer, it is believed, veto German legislation. They would not control West Ger many's foreign relations, or prob ably wouldn't, since that would have to be worked out. And the occupation troops no longer would be called by that name. Undoubt edly they'd stay in Germany, but as '"guests" for defense pur poses. And the Allies would be boss if the time ever came no ona looks for it in the foreseeable fu ture to make a final peace treaty on Germany with the Rus sians and arrange for the reunifi cation of West and East Germany. The Russians still are boss In East Germany. LAWNS Db ru wtnt food livn tr J ft low prior? You csn'l alwavt nav both. Wo do qtulitv work and tar nish everrlhlnff. Vve suortnleo rood ilond of f roll!
