an Instant liking to Rublnoff when
he blew into the omce tor a lew

He's a violinist, in case you
didn't know, one who was dubbed
a fiddler by .Will Rogers because,
said Rogers) a violinist stands up
to play and a fiddler sits down.
Rublnoff sits down.
He has a watch given him by
Will Rogers a good many years
ago and which he still carries.
That watch is big enough to serve
as a briefcase In case you wanted
to toko the works out and convert
it. He packs a Stradlvarius around
in a battered case, has a fund of
small talk that covers a huge va
riety of subjects and is the kind
of a fellow you get on a first name
basis with quickly.
He has Invented a walking cane

his wffe, he sports a licenso plate

The opening of schools In the

trouble.
The big four are measles,
mumps, chicken pox and whoop

The answer (with the possible

Governor Patterson has been go

presidential race there is a good
deal at stake,
We shall take due note, Paul,
and do our best to see to it that

Then, apparently in a more Jo.

with a month to be known as "beef

phase of the disease.
The cause of measles Is a virus
and this tiny lvlng organism Is
present In the secretions of the
mouth and nose during the first
few days, during which a person
Is "coming down" with the di
sease. A sneese or cough will carry
the virus into the air where It
can be breathed in by anyone else
around. Tins makes measles ex
pecially contagious even before the
skin rash appears.
It is difficult to avoid exposure
once an outbreak of measles has
started In a school. Exposure cer
tainly should not be .lought but If
It does occur one has to consider
the use of a substance known as
immune globulin. If this Is given
to a youngster who has been ex
posed, at Just the right time, it
tends to make the disease exceed
ingly mild 'and cut down on the
number of serious complications.
The main purpose of this dis
cussion of measles is to point out
that the disease should not be ta
ken as a Joke and as something
every child must have. Too often
the disease has been considered
llRhlly, sometimes with tragic re

NEW YORK i Charley But-
terfield you know the byline as
"C. E. Butterfleld" Is retiring as
radio-TV editor of The Associated
Press,
Around here, that's a little like
saying the RCA building is going
to be torn down for a parking lot.
Matter of fact, most of us were
happily convinced that Charley
would still be writing aoout radio
long after NBC became a faded
dividend memory in the minds of
David 8arnoff's descendants.
But Charley says he's tired and
wants to go down to Florida and
raise chickens. I don't know why,
The kid doesn't deserve a rest.
We were Just getting him broken
in.
After all. he has only been
writing about radio lor more than
30 years. He has been radio editor
for only 27 years. He has done his
column for only 22 vears.
With all that, the boy hj only 62.
He started young, at 14, on his
family's kitchen table In Cham
paign, 111.. Cha'rley built an ama
teur wireless station In 1006.
"In those days," he recalled,
"there were no commercial sta
tions. All I got was coded signals
from the government stations. I
couldn't understand the code but It
was fun for me, onyway. It wasn't
for the rest of the neighborhood.
"You see, I used an elcctrolltic
rectifier to cut in on .the house
current, which was A. C. Every
time r pressed down on the tele
graphic key. it -dimmed all the
lights In the neighborhood. You
should've heard the squawks."
In 1018, he came up to Chicago
to do general bureau work for the
AP. Within a few years, he was
finding stories to write about radio
at a time when many people still
couldn't spell the word. For ex
ample, he wrote about Chicago's
"silent nights.'
On those nights every station in
town closed up so radio owners
could begin whirling their dials to
see how many long distance sta
tions they could pick up. On a
good, clear night you could get
Los Angeles.
Charley came to New York as
AP radio editor in 1927. This was
at a time when radio fans were

"How do the sunlight hours In
Portland, Oregon, compare with
San Diego in summer and win
ter? Does being nearer the equa
tor make very much difference?"
This question came from Miss
E. C, Portland.
Let us answer the second ques
tion first by saying that nearness
to the equator makes an immense
amount of difference.
We learned In our grade school
geographies that the imaginary
axis which Is supposed to run en
tirely through our earth and come
out at the north and south poles.
Is Inclined 23'.. degrees to the
plane of Its orbit. In simpler lan
guage we might say the axis Is
tiled 23'a degrees downward from
straight up.
This tilt remains In the same di
rection all the way around the sun
during a yeor. When the north end
is Inclined toward the sun. we
have summer: six months later,
winter. The southern hemisphere
has winter when we are having
summer.
Everyone who is the least ob
servant knows that the sun ts
above the horizon much longer in
summer than in winter. And most
of us have heard of the midnight
sun in the arctic regions. Fewer
likely know what the conditons are
at the equator.
In order to answer our corres
pondent's question quite accurate
ly. I looked up the times of sunrise
and sunset for the longest and
shortest days of this year at vari

Graham McNamee, and the Rev
elers' Quartet, of whom only Frank
Parker is still singing. Charlie also
tuned in on the first broadcast by a
couple of fellows known then as
"Sam and Henry." When the boys
left Chicago they had to leave the
name behind with the local radio
station. -In New York they became
known as "Amos 'n Andy."
In 1932, Charley made the front
pages with an exclusive story. It
was the first trans-atlantlc short
wave interview on record. The
man on the other end in Vatican
City was Gugllelmo Marconi.
Even In those days, Charley was
firing questions at the experts
about a fantastic bit of nonsense
known as television. In that inter
view, Marconi told Charley tele
vision's chances were "rapidly''
Improving.
Charley was-writing so long ago
about TV the headline writers
hadn't evsri had time. to catch up
with the name of the new medium.
Ohe head over a Butterfleld story
was: "Sight-seeing by radio."
Charley was not only writing
about the new gadeet In the early
thirties; he even built his own first
TV set out of a kit of parts. His I
first receiver used a neon lamp
instead of a carthode ray tube.
Thus the picture was dark red and
light red instead of black and
white. -

Charley particularly remembers
one in which all that happened
was that a wooden figure of a cat
kept revolving around a turn
table. But he watched that postage
stamp screen and he watched and
reported on everything that came
with the bigger and better screens
developed since.

ous latitudes. I used the American
Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac
and thus calculated the times old
Sol Is above the horizon. Here
arc the hours of sunlicht. The fig
ures given are in order for June
22 and December 22:
Equator 12 hr. 8 mln.: San

8 hr. 46 mm.; southern Alaska -18

Norlh Pole - 24 hr., 0 hr.
From these figures we see that
in the summer Portland has long
er days than San Diego, while In
the winter San Dlego has the more
sunlight. The general rule then Is
that the farther north one goes,
the longer are the summer days
and shorter the winter days.
At the North Pole the sun is
hbovc the horizon continuously
from March 21 to September 23.
and below continuously the other
six months. About half of the
time below, however. Is twilight.
The days of continuous sunlight
become less as one goes south. Be
low the arctic circle. 23'3 degrees
south of the pole, old Sol sets for
at least a short time each sum

Note that the amount of sun
light at the equator Is of the same
length June 23 and December 22.
This figure applies within two
minutes for every day of the
year. In that torrid region the
sun clears the horizon at different
places on various dates but al

Should there be limits on how

by KEN McLEOD
The Klamath Basin is confronted
with several Important conserva
tion problems, problems that are
not only pf vital interest to the
community itself but which reach
the interest of the state and na
tion as well. We are familiar with
the water problem and have two
commissions working upon this
phase of Conservation because it
is of intra-state Importance. A
ju-cnnri nroblem that has not devel
oped public interest in reiauon ui
its importance, conservation wise,
is the problem of the Klamath In.
dlan Reservation. Perhaps a good
many people will say: "That's the
Indians' worry.', and shrug the
problem off on the opinion that
anything which results in me
break up of the Klamath Reserva
tion will be of benefit to tne area.
The problem of the dissolution of
the Klamath Reservation, now-
ever. is not a matter to be taken
lightly whatever may happen
to this large tract of land in
Klamath County in the future can
very easily affect the people of
the Klamath Basin for good or
il. Since the Klamath Indian
Reservation occupies a very large
portion of the Klamath River wa
tershed how that watershed will
be treated Is of direct concern to
every water user. How that wa
tershed will be managed is of
direct concern to every person In
terested In outdoor recreation for
the dissolution of the Indian Reser
vation will open a vast new recre
ational area to the general public.
The act to terminate federal jur
Isdlctlon over the property of the
Klamath Indians has become law.
In this law we find not, one single
statement that will Insure good
management of the timber land
after It Is sold. It is perfectly
clear that no provision was made
for continued sustained yield or
for multiple use management of
the land which clearly illustrates
that our legislatures are still a
half i century behind the world in
their concept of land management
necessary to meet the require
ments of modern day civilization.
The future economy of the Klam
ath Basin demands sustained yield
management of the timber, and,
the needs of the resident Indians
and of the people of Oregon make
multiple use management a mat
ter of public concern.
Just how big is this problem?
The gross area of the Klamath
Indian Reservation is 1,107,850
acres an area that is a third
larger than the. state of Rhode Is
land and Is almost one third of
the land area of Klamath County.
What happens to one third of the
land area of Klamath County is
of decided concern to the people
of Klamath County. .

A waggish philosopher, who
must have been a city editor some
time, lately came up with a salty
definition of . news which may
never Impress lexicographers, yet
belongs somewhere in newspaper
annals. He said:
"News ts anything that happens
to, or near, a publisher."
Unless he knows some fussy
publisher, the reader will not en
joy the chuckle that this quip sent
through newsrooms; nor did news
men immediately appreciate how
close It comes to a true definition
of news.
Though a wisecrack, apply It gen
erally and Webster would buy it:
"Anything unusual that happens to
or near anybody."
What makes it a newsroom
laugh is the omission of "unus
ual": plus hassels with the eager
beaver type of head man who
phones his editors a dozen times
a week about some already cov
ered detail of news that happened
to or near him with emphasis
on "to" and with pictures.
Yet that is exactly what they'd
love to hear from readers. Show
me a live editor who wouldn't
gladly provide a bank of phones,
like in the want ad department,
to receive news tips from readers,
if he could get them.
The llfeblood of a newspaper is
Its local news, and becoming more
so every day; what with the flow
of global broadcasts;.
It Is one function of newspapers
to expand and analyze the news
that comes over the air: to put It
into orderly, preservable form
where the confused listener can di
gest the facts leisurely and correct
his memory.
Airway news Is largely the
equivalent of the newspaper "ex
tras" of the past: hurried, epit
omized early reports,- later to be
amplified and revised, sometimes
contradicted, in regular editions.
Broadcasting has made people
more conscious of news, more de
termined to keep -abreast of it,
more eager to get it all and get H
straight. It has been an important
factor In developing the largest
and most consistently increasing
newspaper readership in history.

The news of Its neighborhood Is
the thing that distinguishes it from
other means of communication; !
Klamath Indian Reservation, 999,
540 acres are owned by the Klam
ath Indians. This Indian owned
land is divided, 863.160 acres in
tribal lands and 136.380 acres of al
lotted land which la owned by inl
vldual Indians of the tribe. The
timber land of the Klamath Res
ervation has been classified as
being 809,100 acres in extent, how
ever, only 647,200 acres are listed
as being capable of producing
commercial crops of timber. Thus,
in any discussion of the subject
of "'sustained yield" on the Reser
vation we must consider' these
647,200 acres,- of which 991,580
acres are tribal lands and 55,620
acres have been allotted to Indivi
dual Indians, , '
Hie estimated1 volumn of timber
In trees twelve inches and larger
In diameter at breast height is
4,101 million board feet. Of this.
1,242 million board feet is unsold
and not yet cut 'over, and, 2,895,
million board feet Is the timber
left to grow alter selective cutting
on areas included in Umber sales
to date. ' '!
The annual cut. of the Klamath
Indian Reservation has at times
reached nearly 200 million board
feel. The total amount of timber
cut since 1913 is 4,600 million
board feet. The allowable cut un
der sustained yield management
during the next ten year period
has been set at 80,900 thousand
board feet per year. The average
value of timber cut in 1953 was
$31.55 per thousand board feet.
Some people who feel concerned
over this problem of the Klamath
Indian Reservation are of the opin
ion that under the new law most
of the Indians will elect to sell
their lands, and .accept 'cash in
return. One qf the tribal officers
has been quoted as stating that
it has been estimated that 80 per
cent of the Indians will so elect
to dispose of their holdings during
the first year. They will know that
government supervision has been
withdrawn and that, mismanage-
ment of the land will most likely
result of the breaking up of the
forest program, hence, these In
dians will be inclined to get the
best bargain possible. There is no
incentive for the encouragement
of private ownership of timber
land in small allotments, -the
growth rate, of Ponderosa pine is
too low to be profitable lor small
timber holdings unless the owner
also operates a sawmill. The real
profit in the management of Pon
derosa pine lands comes from ef-
ficlent and complete manufacture
rather than from the growth of
the Ponderosa pine timber. This
Is one important consideration that
faces the Klamath Indians and the
people of Klamath County.

There are certain fixed avenues
through which local news channels:
the police, fire department, hos
pitals, undertakers and the like.
But the items that make the
newspaper homey center around
neighborhoods, happen "to or near
somebody" who may be the only
one to know. ... .
Reporters regularly cover the
fixed avenues of news. Though
they sometimes seem to be every
where, hundreds of them could not
be aware of all of the interesting
things their readers see happen or
know to have happened. The more
tips they can get, the better they
like it.
So it's dollars to doughnuts that
you'll gel a courteous and grate
ful "thank you" when you phone
a newspaper about something that
looks like news to you.
The lad on the phone may be
weary of prodding from the top
brass, but he'll never be wearied
by news tips from you. He ll call
you a pal and remember you
kindly.

Telling The Editor
LOW DOWN
The other day I read in the Da
per where a very learned doctor
said that cigarettes and "coffee
breaks" were giving ulcers ti
American ladies.
I think this is ridiculous, what
gives ulcers to the ladies in 7.
United States and gentlemea
too Is not the coffee break ii
is, hurry, hurry, hurry and worry
worry, worry. . "
In my city of Port Limon, Costa
Rica, life is one long coffee break
Everybody drinks coffee from u
time of waking to the time of iZ
tag to sleep and nobody has anv
ulcersi That is because in por
Limon we seldom worry, worry
worry, and never under any Cr!
cumstances do we hurrv ,.,
hurry. '
What the American ladles need
to do is to learn to relax when
they take the coffee break M
be here in the U.S. it is not pVsslJ
ble to relax as completely as
da in Port Limon where time
Is something to be savored slowly
but If Uie ladies will sit back
and enjoy drinking their coffee
without haste they will feel better
And, as In Port Limon, there'll ba
none of the ulcers that come from
hurry - worry.
Sincerely yours, '
