PAGE TWELVE HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 13, 1954 Improved Drainage Plan To Be Voted On By KID Voters ' Voters'flf the Klamath Irrigation nd landowners of the Midland area will ballot November 9 on the pro. posal to Increase and Improve dralnase facilities in the area be. tween Miller Hill and Highway 87 tmith of Klamath Falls. The proposition will be placed on the same ballot to oe pressmen iu the voters of the KID which will seek approval of the plan for the district to take over operation and maintenance of a portion of the Klamath Reclamation project oil January 1, 1955. Voters In all precincts In the KID will vote on assuming oper ation and maintenance costs. The Dakota Prison Revolt Ends SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (P-Thcir 23-hour riot ended, inmates oi the 6outh Dakota State Penitentiary were back to their normal quici behavior today. Thn rpvolt slopped lute yester. dav. onlv 25 minutes after tile nearly 300 milliiiK rioters in a largo cell block were ordered to relcaso tho guards they held as nostuges or else "faco the consequences." The ultimatum by Gov. Sigurd Anderson and Warden O. Norton Jameson came as some 200 armed Notional Guardsmen, sheriff's dep uties and other officers stood out side the block. ' The hostages, Georse Read and E. F. Lambertson,, were freed and escorted to safety' by 25 highway patrolmen, who were sent unarmed to the block gate. The guards said they hadn't been hurt or even seriously threatened. Gov. Anderson called the oui break an "unnecessary riot" and wild he will order an investigation into its cause. Jim revolt s'.nrted as the pris oners were finishing their evening meal Monday. Using tear gnu, guards herded the rioters into the cell block and snapped the heavy doors shut, Ai first there were three hos tages, but one of them, guard Mel vln DeYoung, was released in the afternoon. The convicts said they freed him to show their "good faith" In their dealings on griev ances over prison conditions. Gov. Anderson, in announcing the riot had ended, said, "We made no concessions." A large force of sheep dogs specially trained to be locomotive conscious by British railways watch for the approach of trains and herd the sheep in the fields to points of safety. two propositions will be voted on at the same time on the same ballot at the special election on Novem ber 9. A majority will signify ap proval. Voters In the area benefited will vote at the Floyd Hoover home on construction costs and at the regular precinct polling place at the Earl Mack home on operation and maintenance. Estimated cost of the drainage project, which will improve and re claim 1787 acres of land In the Mil ler Hill district, Is S89.000 or about $50 per acre. Only acreages now assessed for irrigation taxes would be included. It is anticipated that the repays ment would be over a 20-year per iod at on estimated cost of $2.50 ner acre annually, Interest free. The loan would be sought from the federal government through the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Land operators whose farms will be benefited by the drainage pro- cram are asking voters of the Klam ath Irrigation District to assume future operation and maintenance costs pro-rated over the entire KID. In previous elections the Miner Hill pump and the Adams Polm Hume were given the nod of ap proval by voters with the KID as suming all costs. In the present pro posal landowners in the area bene fited will assume all construction costs and are asking that KID as sume only operation and mainten ance costs. The proposed project calls for a pump west of the Midland Grange Hall where a drainage ditch would be deepened to about 18 feet from its present seven foot depth. Installation of the pump and deep ening of the main drainage canal will not entirely solve the drainage problem. Some of the land, in or der to realize benefits of the drain age program, will require leveling, application of gypsum and soil flushing. An economic study of the crop census report taken by the USBR. estimates the present net annual Income per acre of the land as it is at about $16.50 per acre. With this same land reclaimed by proper drainage, the Income potential would be increased from two to three times. This would come about through Increased yields and changes in the crops raised. In recent years only about two per cent of this land has been in potato production. There is very little Improved pas ture and many acres are in low production crops. If the potential benefits of the project are all realized, the eco nomic study revealed that the costs including not only construction and individual reclamation costs but also operation and maintenance will be returned to the landowner at the rate of at least $3 for every dollar spent. fe, $k&h$ - ftp wMk h it? , rVsSS'' sswj vfv -Urn NOW JUST A MEMORY to most people is this view taken trom'the old Sun Mountain grade just above the source of Wood.

At Ihe pres ent time the list has grown to more than 2,000. OSNA is a professional organi zation. Its members are graduate nurses, most of them presently ! working in" hospital!, doctor's of fices, industry or public health de partments throughout the state. Its activities are varied. Affiliate ed with the American Nurses' As sociation, the Oregon group porti cipates in national mid internation al health programs. The group seeks belter working conditions for nurses, furthers nurses' recruiting1 projects by ol fcring sohol.irships and extending educational loans. The association aids with many civic and social activites in the local community. Ihe program is "entirely educa tional and not regulatory, It will be continued if industry interest warrants it." Dairy products 6uch as butter, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, lluid milk products, ice cream, ice milk, sherbet and specialty prod ucts will all be tested. Dairy plants may submit samples of commer cial products to the OSC dairy de partment for scoring. Samples should be taken at random from storage, "This is not a contest," Dr. Wilster pointed out. "There will be no highest or lowest score." Samp les received at the college will be given code numbers and will bear no other identification. They will be scored lor flavor, body and tex ture color and other points of qual ity. Scoring results for each prod uct' will be mailed to Dartieioatmir dairy plants with suggestions for currecung any detects. The program will start in No vember with butter scoring, fol lowed by Cheddar cheese in, De cember, ond cottage cheese in Jan uary. Fluid milk products will be scored in February, ice cream in March, and ice milk in April.

After three years of trying to fight comedy with comedy, NBC has pitted a serious show about doctors in the prime Monday-at-9 slot opposite Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, still the top attractions on TV. Whether the new show will cut into Lucy's rating remains to be seen. Anyway, the costly Medic has aroused a lot of talk. Some of the reviews were load ed with praise, others panned the Ishow unmercifully. Many viewers j think it s good. These Include Miss Ball herself. "A fine show, but oh so sad," she told me. "I cried through it. I'm only sorry I won't be able to watch it and our show loo." Other viewers do not think the fiht aoainst disease is entertain ment for the home. We'll see which ! viewpoint prevails. Meanwhile, let s have a look at the medic himself.. He's Richard Boone, 36, a Los Angeles boy. You've seen him in many movies, though you might not recognize him as the clean-shaven general praclioner on TV. Usually he has played a deep-dyed heavy with beard and other disguises. Without the fake hair and make up, Boone is a craggy-faced fel low with deep-set, penetrating eyes. He rejoiced in what TV has done for his movie career. ,'Tn the past few weeks that the show has been on," he declared, "I have had more recognition, both In public and in the trade, than I ever got in the movies. It's a good thing tor me. Nowadays, when banks put up the money on the basis of an actor's draw, you get paid what you're worth in terms of the public's knowledge of you. "With a face like mine, I never could have gotten the recognition in movies the way I'm getting it in TV." Boone intends to continue his film ,career, and he a one ot tne lew TV stars who can do it. He is committed to appear in only nine out of the first 26 films. In the others, he merely acts as host and narrator. "The doctors who advise us on the show insisted that I be a gen eral practitioner," he remarked. "When a special field is involved, I cannot handle it. A specialist has to be called in. The technical advisers wouldn't allow it any oth er way." He said the show gets plenty of advice. When the first film was made, 16 doctors were in attend ance!
