The shore, however, was heavi ly lined In spots with dead chubs, ranging all the way Irom the tiny little fellows of an Inch or less up to eight and 10 Inch fish. In all probability we will have to wait until the early part of next week to find out what really hap pened in the big operation. There are deep spots in the lake where It may tnke the poison several days to penetra.'e. And the big lunkers, II there are any left In the lake, may not be as susceptible to the lotcnone as arc the roach. We must remember thai this whole thing Is purely experiment al. It is the blg'(c.;t try at fish poisoning ever attempted any where, and when you tackle a body of water as big as Diamond Lake you are liable to run Into a lot of problems that didn't occur to you at an earlier date. From superficial observation we are led to believe that the whole thing will be successful. It may take some little time for the poi soning process to work, and even longer for some of the fish to come to the surface. hunters are bur dened it is illegal to take water iov.l through the use of "cattle, horses, mule3 or live duck or goose decoys." I assume that this means that; you can't use a horse as a blind when you want to sneak up on a ; band of ducks sitting out on the pond. i Shucks, fullers, as far as I'm concerned you needn't have wor- ried about it.

Is grow ing up. There's been a Justifiable uproar over the terror books, the horror books and the salacious books as stimulators of Juvenile delinquency. Reformers said, "there ought to be a law." Well, the comic book Industry has taken a lesson from organized baseball and the movies and is taking steps to clean up Its own business. Judge Charles F. Mur phy will resign as a magistrate of the City of New York on October 1 to become czar of the comics book Industry. Twenty three publishers, five en gravers, seven distributors, six printers and one mat maker of the comics book industry are drawing up a code of ethics for comics books and will provide Judge Murphy with a $100,000 bud get to regulate the Industry. 'Die code will be the "stronROKt ever ndopted by a mass media In dustry." It will forbid the use of the words "horror" and "terror" in titles, and will ban all "lurid, gruesome or unsovory lllustra tratlons," The code also will bar the por trayal of crime in any way that would foster imitation or promote distrust of law enforcement agen cies. Suggestive scenes and sala cious Illustrations will likewise be banned. We haven't seen any of Uie real ly lurid books but there's no ques tlon that millions of copies have been circulated, particularly In the cities, and It's good to see the comics book people cleaning up their own nest. How effective the cleanup be comes still remains to be seen, of course. Judge Murphv, former le gal counsel to the late Mayor La Ouardla, will okay or turn thumbs down 'on new books. A seal of ap proval will be printed on all "okayed" books, it will remain lor all ocople connected with the business, and the public, to make the sell-censorship effective by re fusal to handle those which don't come up to standards of the code Not all comics book publishers have Joined the new association Comics Magazine Assn. of Ameri ca, but even non-members are going along with the movement Entertaining Comics Croup, one of these non-members, which pub lished the first U. s. "horror" comics In I960, announced that It will discontinue all horror and crime comics immediately Those that will not be published after October are "Tales from the Crypt," "Haunt of Fear," "Crime Suspense," "Shock Suspense 8tor les" and "Vault of Horror." wil "m Oaines, the publisher, said KIDNEYS MUST REMOVE EXCESS WASTE Njinm birharha, feu of ni f n,rrr, ncUchN ind diliinrt mar b (Jut to alow.

Social Security Official Clarifies Work Question By EVERETT EATON Manager, Klamath Falls Office Social Security Administration "How much can 1 earn under the new law and still keep my Social Security Check?" This Is a question frequently asked In the Social Security office these days. Until January 1, 1955 the old re tirement test applies and benefici aries who earn over 575. during a calendar month in gross wages will not be entitled to their old age insurance or survivor's insur ance check for that month. Cash bonuses of any type are considered as wages in determinuig the gross earnings for the month in which the bonus is received Beginning January 1, 1955 Uie new retirement test provided by the 1954 amendments to the Social Security Act will become opera tive. The new test Is on an annua! basis and will allow beneficiaries of all categories to earn more and still receive their benefit check regularly. Those who work for wages may earn $1,200 gross dur ing a year and receive a benelit check each month. I- does noi matter whether the 11,200 earned in four or five months or spread evenly over the year; you will still be entitled to 12 benefit checks for the year. "What happens if my earnings in 1955 exceed (1,200" Is usually the next question, ln that case you lose one benefit check for each month. As an example if you work steadily at $125 per month you would earn 81.500 in 1955 and your excess earnings would be JO0. In that case you would be entitled to eight benefit checks for the year. However, if your work Is season al and you don't work in all 12 months of the year it is possible to receive your benefit check lor any month in which you do not earn over $80., even though you have earnings consldeiably in ex cess of 1.200 for the year. As an example many loggers work about fix months during the year and earn about $2,500. Such a bene ficiary would be entitled to his checks for the'other six months of the year, provided he didn't earn over SB0 per month. The retirement test for self-employed beneficiaries in 1955 will be ......, iitw th. umR as in the past pxcent thev will be allowed $1,200 ln net earnings instead of $900. u..... a KPif.errralovcd benelici- ary must add any wages or other earnings to his net business in come in determining wnether his .,rio ped $1,200. A o,t.omninvpd benelicisry is titled to his benefit check for any month in which he does not render substantial services in the conduct of his business, regardless of the amount of his net income for the year. . Thi is the last of a scries ol articles explaining the 1954 amend ments to the Social Security Act. Anyone desiring further informa tion is invited to call at the So cial Security Office which is lo cated in the Klamath Falls Post Office. Leaflets are also available which cover thef various changes. Sam Dawson THE DOCTOR SAYS By KDWIN P. JORDAN, M.

The attractive early years, when the words of parents were ac cepted by their youngsters with out question, have passed, but the grnwr.-up approach to life and its problems have certainly yet been reached. pen to oneself. Hence, the warning to be careful crossing the street and similar instructions from grownups seem merely adding to the confining and senseless rules which are always interfering with fun. In short, the youngster between 6 and 12 and in older and not I younger years, too is a real i person with normal reactions so One of the difficulties in dealing i "r their own experiences are concernea. inc ones wno ao not have normal reactions in the eyes of the children are the grownups. The problems ol youth arc every bit as serious to the one involved as those of later years. Every parent and teacher should understand this and operate their relationships with the youths un der their direction accordingly. An excellent pamphlet on this subject, called "Understand Your Child From Six to Twelve," has been published by the nono- profit Public Affairs Committee, with youngsters of these ages is that It is so hard for the parents to think back to these years them selves and remember how they felt and acted at the same age. True, most of us can remember something if we try but the effort is seldom made. Can you remember a party giv en when you were 8 years old to which you were not invited or at which you had a very bad time? Do you recall the feelings of tri umph or tragedy which accom panied, success socially, in the classroom, or on the a t h I e 1 1 c ' 22 East 38th Street, New York 16, field? Jl you can do these things i New York. It costs 20 cents, NEW YORK (Pi Ticket supplle. are showing up unexpectedly today In three sectors of the economy' metals, textiles and money. In each case the shortage is special, regional or temporary. But it has been enough to raise pricu or interest costs. And it Is troubling- certain busi. nessmen. Some are asking Wash. ington to do something about it There was so much copper earlll er this year that producers ex. peeled the 30-cents-apound price to break any day. Now there is so little to be had that copper futures on the Ntw York Commodity Exchange have gone to their highest level in two years. And copper users are urging Washington to release some of the metal earmarked for the nation's strategic materials stockpile so that civilian and military produc tion won't be held up by the shortage. The tight supply came about this way: earlier in the year, when copper seemed too plentiful in re lation to demand, producers cut back on the output of mines and smelters. Stocks were held close to the demand level. Recently, a series of strikes both here and in Chile has shut off much of the world's c oppcr sources. At tne same time, demand for copper continued to rise in Europe, which has been experience, ing a boom rather than a reces sion. Copper ,1s so short abrosd just now that metal for quick it livery commands premium prices. American stockpiling also hss tightened supplies of lead and zinc enough to raise their prices in re cent weeks. Quicksilver has also been on the short side, with prices going to the highest level in years, and traders unable to explain where all of the mercury Is going unless into the U.S. stockpile. In textiles the short supply situa tion is very spotty and is brought about largely by consumer prac tices. But demand for some items Is big enough to lead some mills to raise prices a little. Buying practices have been the cause of the spot tightness. Textile buyers don't want to take any risks these days so they have been placing only small orders and ask ing quick delivery. Tightness in money Is even more puzzling Just now since the Federal Reserve banks have been keeping the supply easy for the nation is a whole. The tightness shows up mainly in New York and Chicago, while banks elsewhere mostly have excess reserves looking for bor rowers. The New York and Chicago banks have been buying up the U.S. Treasury offerings week by week and slowly raising the in terest costs to the government, as the supply of money tightened. Banks elsewhere haven't been sending their Idle money in to take up any of the supply of treasury bills. Money has grown tight in New York and Chicago and Interest rates have firmed there, while out side these cities there's lots of money in the banks, that is, if not in your pocketbook.
