No doubt our point of view In regard to the size of recreational areas has been unduly Influenced by our close contact with the Na tional Forests, our National Parle, Monument and Wildlife Refuges. All these are necessary yet they do not round out a basio program because there is an urgent demand for many small units which are outside the areas controlled by the federal government. We need a definite program of smaller areas along the main tra veled routes as well as off the beaten trail. Such recreational units can be privately owned by Individuals or organizations; they can be wayside areas as main tained by the state Highway Com mission; they can be areas admin istered by the State Forestry De partment; and they can be areas provide by the county Itself. If the people of Klamath County should awaken to the value oi tne business of Recreation then they could well follow the advance thinking that has been displayed bv Douglas County, Douglas coun ty has a recreational program that Is far In advance oi any other county that I know of In all our western states, this program is now several years old, the rough edges have been smoothed oil and much can be learned from the ex perience that has been gained by the county In Its newly organized program. Back In 1(60 the Douglas Coun ty Court Instituted a Public Parks Department, designed to acquire, Improve, develop and maintain lands dedicated to public use. This program like a good many others had a small beginning. Several years prior to the establishment of the P u b 1 1 c Parks Department, Douglas County obtained title through a tax foreclosure to lands bordering the North Umpqua River between Rock Creek and the boun dary of the Umpqua National For est, Much of this land was Inter mingled with federally - owned properties. After the county acquired title to the land a move was started to preserve public access to the river, this resulted in the dedication of land between the road and the Umpqua River for public recrea tional use. The Bureau of Land Management took like steps, coop erating with the county by reser vation of Its intermingled O ti C holdings. The forward looking citizens of Douglas County recognized the po- HAL BOYLE SCENIC, S.D., Ifl There Is so place in the world where the earth has been tortured Into atranger beauty than "the bad lands" of South Dakota. "Hell with the fires out!" ex claimed Gen. Alfred Sully on see ing them in 1864. Later visitors have compared them to the waterless landscape of the moon or to the portrait of a hangover in technicolor. Millions of tourists each year are awestruck by the weirdly eroded scenery the lonely colorlul battle ments and writhing 2,000-foot-hiRh towering shapes carved by wind and ancient rivers over millions of years. "But most of them see the bad landa only from their auto mobiles," said my friend. Earl Brockelsby, owner of "The Rep tile Oardens," one of the world's greatest snake collections. "Why don't you let me take you on a tour through them? We'll go where the foot of man never has trod before." Like a fool I agreed, and then didn't have the force of character to back out. Too bright and too early the next morning our safari set out through this arid wilderness. The party Included, besides my host and his victim, two young lady aludents of palenontology and Warren Morrell, editor of the Rapid City Dally Journal.

The court was cooperative and set aside the sum of $10,000 for land acquisition. The first problem to be met with was on Winchester Bay, here was a rapidly developing sports center that needed public protection and fj the county proceeded to pur- ! chase the riparian rights to the entire bay front, thus protecting public access and at the same time, assuring public title to any lands which might be DUllt up oy tidal action or dredging. The Port of Umpqua commission became Interested and offered to Join with the county In a coopera tive development resulting In the dredging of a boat channel, the construction of a parking area concrete boat launching platform and other, improvements. As an outgrowth from this expenditure amounting In all to about $25,000, hundreds of thousands of dollars went Into new investments at Win chester Bay, with the result that the county's tax base has been mi terially benefited. The county has acquired several park sites by purchase and one by donation. It In. s built numerous ac- cess ways to fishing spots and now has a current budget around $2d,000 for the county parks pro gram. In the formative stages of the program It was the county court Itself which took a personal hand In accomplishing the direc tion of action but the program grew to the point where aupervl slon,. maintenance and improve- mcnt was demanded. The program became so large that the court could not give the program the at tention it obviously required and so the county court set up a body charged with the direct responsi bility of the program. This orir-n. Izatlon was called the Dou-"s County Public Parks Department. This department, however, is en tirely advisory and the court has delegated it no powers. le depart ment, however, is charged with the "leg - work" and paper work in volved in maintaining the program and it handled all details under court authorization. A four man board was named to direct the de partment and this . board nan the authority to appoint, with court ap proval, a lull time supervisor with salary and expenses fixed by the court which in turn controls all money handled by the department. wlch, it seemed to me the hot dog tried to rear up and bite back. "Well, let's go back," I said when the lunch was over. "Go back?" said Earl. "Why, we haven't started yet." How true. How true. For three hours we climbed terrifying crags of dried silt, slid down embank ments, crawled through poison ivy beds on hands and knees, inched through canyons too narrow lor a gazelle with a new dior bustllne. "Isn't that breathtaking?" said Earl, pausing at one vista. "Sure. . .is." I panted. "Parlic ularly. . . thnt big. . . butte. . .that looks like a rod .castle" "It Isn't red." objected Earl Maybe not through Is eyeballs but it was through mine. Twice Earl stopped and handed me lossll teeth from an oreodon. a sheep-like nnlmnl that roamed the area maybe 20 million years ago. I put them In my pocket.

"And there still are a few wildcats around." Right then and there I decided I had done enough pioneering for a guy who likes nothing better than exploring the bottom of a swivel chair. "Let's go back." I said. "But first show me this place where the foot of man has never trod. "Rlsht where you're standing." said Earl. I tx-nt down and traced the out line of my aching feet with a pen cil. Then, so that future Marco Polos wouldn't have to wonder what strange old fossil had left this mark of his passing, I signed my name. As I straightened up and we started the long climb to our car, I noticed something scribbled on the canyon wall. You know what It said? "Kilroy was here." You can't win.

JORDAN, M.D. August 15 is the traditional day for the start of fall nay lever. Act ually symptoms of this miserable aiiuctton may start several days earlier or later depending ea the particular region and the sensiti vity of the victim. This kind of hay fever, which Is the most widespread and prob ably the most umpleasant, comes principally from ragweed and at the time when this weed starts te pollinate. The wiser victims of ragweed hay fever have taken shots or in jections and should get some re lief If they have. Others have planned their vacations for this time of year and may escape a lot of trouble by being in areas where there is little or ne ragweed. But there remain many who for one reason or another have to stick it out in some place where rag weed pollen clouds the atmosphere. What can they da to get at least some relief from their sneeting, stuffy noses and irritated eyest Air conditioning is often euite helpful. In many air conditioned public buildings the air going in is washed as well as cooled so that all, or most, ef the pollen is removed. Even for the private home some HUGH Aatrenomer, Extension Division Oreeen Hlaher Edaoattoa System We have again come te that de lightful season when the August meteors make the evening heavens interesting for all who have learned the art ef "looking up." A brief discussion of the nature of these mysterious little sky filers Is in order at this time. A faint light guides swiftly across the darkened heavens, we call it a falling star but it is such in appearanee oroy. wnen vwoie, It is M te 80 miles above the 1 earth's surface. The nearest real star Is 36 trillion (28,000,000,009,000) miles away. A little irl once asked me, "If we aee a star shoot from the Big Dipper, will there after that always be one less star in tha Dipper?" There will still he as many as ever for the sheeting star has nothing ts do with tha config uration of this well known star group. On any clear night occasional meteors appear in any part of the heavens. These are particles of stone or metal from interplanetary space traveling at unbelievably great speeds and made lumlneua by friction with out atmosphere. Very few reach the earth except ing as ash. At times these bodies come in greater numbers. They are named usually from the star groups out ef which they seam to fly. They don't necessarily atart In these groups, but imaginary lines drawn back ward along their visible paths would, if extended still ' farther, run Into the constellations. Thus we have the Lyrlds ef April, the Perseids of August, tha Orlonids of October, the Leonids of November, and the Oemintds of December. The Perseids appear in greatest numbers between August 10 and 19. This year the moonlight will In terfere considerably with the Till- billty of the faint meteors, but the rotti into o A QUACT of MICK I y I I Aj Supplies AT tf AST lll 1 I Yt OFTHf CALCIUM IV I f NEEDED OAltY fOR f P GOOO TEETH thing can be done. Several small conditioning units are on the mar ket which can be used to filter out the Dollen in Individual rooms. know people who have used them never venturing outside their rooms during the "season" unless tney naa to. Then there are drugs both new and eld. The ones which have the most dramatic effects are the an tihistamines which have now been available for several years. These are taken by mouth and while they do not in any sense constitute a permanent cure they often bring striking relief of symp toms. But the use of these drugs is a little complicated. It is hard to choose which ones to use since there are so many. Actually some seem to work better for some peo ple and others for others. It isn't entirely safe to take these antihistamines without directions. Unpleasant side effects have been found; some people are made sleepy by some of the preparations and this can be dangerous in driv ing a ear or other vehicle. Nevertheless a great many peo ple are tremendously helped by drugs and air conditioning and the hay fever season la not feared as much as it used to be. PRUETT brighter ones will be easily seen. At tha time of maximum, which cannot be determined too accurate ly, early morning obaervations of ten give counts as high ss 60 or 70 per hour, observers with excellent vision have at high elevations spotted go an hour.

The term "meteor shower" Is al- together misleading and causes great disappointment to many. The particles making up the meteors are thought to be debris from the disintegration of Tuttle's comet. They travel near the orbit of this comet. The earth comes to the place on Its orbit which crosses the meteoric path in August. Bee Sting Fata! For Kentucky Man GREENUP, Ky. OH "This sting Is about to kill me," Samuel Jones of nearby Caroline told his brother when stung by a bee about 10 min utes before he died yesterday. Coroner Louis Wright ruled that death was caused by the bee sting. James Jones, the brother, said they were cutting down a tree when a bee flew up Samuel's sleeve. The two had been looking for wild bee honey. Wright said the 41-year-old farm er died from anaphalactic shock, brought about by toxin In the blood stream. Sam Dawson NEW YORK 11 Chllla and fever In the stock market of late have sent trading volume up to the best levels in several years. Dramatic- swings in prices of In dividual shares have mirrored the fast-shifting changes in the indus trial scene, as companies fought to survive or to better their position In a highly competitive era. Sharp breaks in the market al ways bring out the ghost of that granddaddy of all the market breaks to October 1829. Many have been nervously expecting a general downturn because the mar ket has been climbing fairly stead ily for almost a year now. With each break you'll hear someone say; "Here we go the fall of 1929." So far. we haven't, and most market followers doubt If we will. Swift upswings are Just as likely to bring out cries of: "Here we go again another wild bull mar ket may be getting under wav. like the spring and summer of 1929." Again, nothing like that frenzied period has developed and public sentiment seems scarce ly ripe for it. ' In the Wall Street brokeraa-s houses, moreover, they'll tell you that the breaks and upswings ailke have been chiefly confined to cer tain stocks. Most of the gyrations nave been explainable bv either the rumors or the announcements that throw light on the changing fortunes of individual companies or industries in a shakedown period for tne market as a whole, the pace has been fairly measured. The various- stock averages that financial writers quote mostly blue chip stocks have climbed for 11 months now. with occasional downturns like last week's. Many of the low-priced stocks, "on the other hand, have barely moved at an, until recently. Many brokers would consider the awakening of tne lower priced issues to be a sig nal that the public, as distinguished from the seasoned trader, may be starting to take Interest in the market. Back of 'some recent big swings in stock prices have been mergers, rumors of mergers, rumors that merger talks were breaking down. The many stock splits this year, and the reports that others are being considered, have always been good for a nudge to the market. The government plays such a big role In business now that Its policy changes on defense orders have immediate effect on prices of many shares. Mergers affect not only stocks cf the companies involved, but often those of other companies. in the same Industry, because their competitive position shifts when their rivals combine. Steel stocks have been a recent example, due to merger talks between Bethlehem and Youngstown. Competitive turmoil among the auto makers, and mergers of smaller companies, have kept the spotlight on auto shares and fur- -1 rENITH "ROYAL-T" HEARING AID Now you can hoar better for 15c a month . . . imagine such a low operating cost . . . one 15c battery lasts a full month!

Congress la now In position to make this recommendation law quickly. If It wants to. It may net. because of the man te get ram. The House has passed a bill to carry out Elsenhower's idea. Ifce Senate Judiciary commute approved a similar one. But the full Senate hasn't acted ret. The Idea that a man can be de prived of his citizenship a native-born or naturalized American is not new. There are federal laws covering a list of specific of fenses for which a msn can lose his citizenship. When this happens to him he becomes an alien, area though he Is native-born. Here is the list: treason; taking an oath of allegiance to a foreign government; becoming a eltlsen of a foreign government; serving in foreign military forces; civilian employment in a foreign govern ment; voting in foreign elections: formal renunciation of American citizenship; deserting the armed forces in wartime: departing from or remaining outside of tha United States in time of war or during a national emergency with the pur pose of avoiding training and ser vice in the armed forces. Those are the offenses, simpli fied hero for space, under which a man can lose his American citi zenship. Some of them were made law in 1907, the rest In 1940. The House and Senate bill would sim ply add a few phrases to item No. 1 treason with this general ; enect: I A msn can lose his citizenship not oniy tor treason out for inciting rebellion against the government or conspiring te advocate its over throw by force. That phrase "conspiring to advocate its over throw by force" is aimed straight at Communists. It is already a crime under the Smith act,' passed in 1848 to conspire to teach or advocate forceful overthrow. And dozens of Communist leaders have been con victed under it. Just what would loss of citizen ship also spoken of as loss of nationality mean for a native born or naturalised American? The Justice Department got up a list to answer that question. This Is It: Loss of the right to vote,- hold public office by election or appoint ment, or to serve on a Jury. A man who lost his citizenship couldn't get an American passport. Be couldn't get the protection of- the American government if ha fell into trouble overseas. He' would lose the right to get back into the nished some of the most drama tic days at the Stock Exchange. Efforts of textile firms to re align and pull out of their laa-iu. try's slump have furnished fire works. Talk of federal sending of 80 billion dollars for new roads boost ed cement company shares. It caned attention to stocks of mak ers of eerth moving or paving equipment. Some industrial giants, best known for other products, subsidiaries in the construction field, and their stocks have been favored, too. - A wave of economy in Congress csn tilt the stocks of seme com panies. Tax changes can, also. And the market has some built in cushions and accelerators. Stop-loss orders instructions to sell if the price drops to a certain point uncover new supplies em a dropping market, and weaken prices further. The shorts, however those vhe offer to sell stock they don't hold are likely to Jump in end buy when prices drop, so that they can take their prolit. This cus hions the fall. Followers of charts who tend to buy or sell at the aame time add momentum to a market which ever way it's going.

The American Automobile Association's (00-pige volumes of detailed route instructions, without which it wasn't wise to motor far from home. There were four of them, for dif ferent sections of the country. As yet there were few improved roads, no road maps, no numbered routes or dependable road signs. Just tele phone poles, red barns, bridges snd such to show the way. Without such lsndmsrks the Blue Book would have been worthless. Even so. a red barn repainted green could send a driver miles out of his way. And mites were prec ious when 150 of them were a spsnklng dsy's run over unpredict able cars over the dusty, rutty roads.
