California, suffering under a split season, opened last Saturday, and the shooting, as usual, wi.s fabulous for a few hours and Uicn died as dead as yesterday's news paper.

A lew-in sight, hov ering over tlie reserve to shake down a few pounds of the bar ley they had been feeding on, but none anywhere else. I have a sneaking hunch that t goose Is about half smart. Smart enough, anyway, to figure out that if he's shot at in California and not In Oregon that he'll stay in Oregon. Maybe with the season open Up here they'll be shot back and forth, over the line a little. Dick Gallagher, the bossman o! the Legion drum and bugle corps, got a nice hund the other day Iroln Governor Paul Patterson. Patterson, writing from Snlem, said to Dick that It had been brought to his attention that wbe:i he; Patterson, lauded the corps lot its performance nt the Republican picnic he was not aware that Dick had already left the grounds. His letter slated that he thought the corps had done an outstanding Jab. Then he added a personal postscript to the effect that "Hills boro lost to a real champion." 1 Congratulations to Dick and the corps. Keep up the good work, men. ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD . I do not know how many times I have been asked about the mean ing of the Petroglyphs on the Tule Lake Peninsula and my answer has been you can attach any meaning to them you desire be cause no one has ever been able to decipher any of the characters. Some of the carvings are obvious llko the lump carved on the south ern end of the group, but, what is Its significance? Many of the characters enrved on the cliff are undoubtedly Indian In origin and since the Indian had no specific set of symbolic standards the char acters so carved possessed mean ing only to their carver. We have discovered this to be true in the attempt to obtain a definition for various designs. occurln on Indian baskets. A design might mean something to one bnsketmaker but Bometnii'g different to another, There Is nothing strange to this observation ns we have the same! problem in the Held of modern art. ! ...o person loosing at an abstract design or palntlnu will In. varinuiy ask "what Is It?" The artist usually uses-some descrip tion applicable to a fifth grade youngster lor he Is expected to put a table on It, Indian carvings to some extent are much In the same category, they have personal meaning to Uie maker but may not hold any particular signifi cance to other members of hts tribe. Most men of science merely attempt to classify the symbols into recognized groups circles dots, rakes, saunres. onrf ., for the simple designs, other do.

Of course Kilrov would not be the name as It would more Ulan likely be Oscar. The point Is. much of the ogam writing merely records proper names. The ogam alphabet as Illustrated In Webster's Dictionary apparently does not give us words with mean ing arid so the conclusion in that Uiese Identifiable carving, n,ust nave some oilier alphabet basts The world's- knowledge of "the meaning of runic carving, ha, de velopcd from various source, thst havo preserved the runic alphabet One very old English manuscript low In the British Museum con. tains two page-., that has given Uie E,1?

Myr.le sneaked up on the pigeon one night when it was asleep and got the number, AU 54 F2144. So lar no answer from her letter to Chrysler. And the pigeon Is still there.

Those shovels can raise one heck of a blister on tender hands In a matter of minutes. upon ornaments and It Is not until the 6th century that runic stones begin. The invention of this form of writing started back In the so called "Iron Age" which is placed at about 500 B.C. In the period of the 4th to 7th centuries, the gold ornaments of the period have been Its chief glory: indeed the wealth of gold, especially In Sweden, has suggest ed the title "Gold Age" for these centuries. The favorite ornaments for the period were Uie so-called bracteates, worn as pendants, and Imitated from Roman coins, but often stamped on one side only and decorated in the Northern style. Such was Uie bractea that was discovered bearing the Inscrip tion of the runic alphabet. The discovery of carvlnir on ih Tule Lake Pennlnsula bearing n ii-seiuoinnce to these runic for docs not necessarily mean that any such writing .need be of vast antiquity, since anyone with a nowieage of this form of writing could execute it at anv latter rim,. and this Is what forms our mys tery.

HAL NEW YORK tfl In changing America nothing - changes more than the Idea of success. Everybody starts life in this country with the desire to be a success. But how can you tell, as the Army - saying goes, "when you've really got It made?" The Ilnest test of success in any civilization, whether a man lives in a concrete jungle, the desert, or a vine-tangled forest, is simple. It Is the ability to meet the fortunes and misfortunes of a lifetime with fortitude and inner serenity. But usunlly only old people come to a full realization of this truth. Many of us spend our lives trying to achieve the outward trappings that pass for success, and die without fully realizing we have missed the real thing. American success goals have undergone almost as manytransi. Hons as women's clothing styles. The fashion of today Is old bat tomorrow. ' One fashion that seems dying In America is the idea that success begins with birth. Under this the ory any person descended from someone who came over in the Mayflower or fought in the Amer ican Revolution is automatically, by pride or family, lifted forever above the reeking herd who came to this country later. The ancestor-worship cult still holds a thin blue -blooded axis lrom Boston to Charleston, S.C.,1 escaping the realities of the pres ent by poring over the footnotes in genealogy journals. But the. atti tude of most America is: "Never mind what your great-great-great-great grandpappy was. What arc you?" To mingle In high society Is no longer much of a success aim oither. High society Is practically as out-of-date as ostrich feather fans. The trouble with high socie ty is Hint it began to act too low. Great wealth Is no longer, as it was In the gilded age, a success goal for most people. Few of us any more dream of living In an JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON 10 This coun try pumr.ed 2'; billion dollars into Indochina to help the French save it from communism. Sen. Mike Manstfcld, Montana Democrat, says It's beginning to look like money down the drain. Mansfield, a member of the Senate' Foreign Relations Com mittee, went to Indochina last year. He has just returned from a second visit. Both times he report ed findings. i Last year he said, and so did the Elsenhower administration. that the French, with Uie help ol some Indochlnese and American military equipment, could smash the Communist-led Victmlnh who had fought the French seven years. Tlie French and those Indochl nese who fought with them against I he Vietminh, outnumbered the latter, by Mansfield's estimates. 6 to 3 In manpower and 10 to 1 in armaments, the latter largely American. But it was the' French, not the Vietminh, who were smashed. The humbled French at Geneva last summer agreed to let the Vietminh have half of Vict Nam. the lamest of Indochina's three states. The other two are Laos and Cambodia. Tne French are still In southern Viet Nam. But with the Vietminh in the northern half, and the Viet namese in the southern half torn by factional disputes and corrup tion, all Viet Nam looks shaky to AlHilSUCin. So does Laos, where he reports dissension and Communist Infiltra tion. To Mansfield the only bright foot is Cambodia, where the French have given the people real independence. The French held Indochina as a colony for almost 100 eyars, and they did not prepare the Vietnam ese for Independence by training them as administrators or soldiers' who could run and protect the country if and when It got inde pendence. Ho Chi Minh, leader of the Viet tnlnh, cloaked his communism un der nationalism, promising the Vietnamese freedom from the French, The French still didn't realize that their day in Indochina wa, over. The rci-ult: Million, of Viet namese, fed up with French colonialism, gave their sympathy or active support to the Vietminh. GET OUR RATES for LAND LEVELING Chiseling ene1 sub-loilinf.

What ere the success goals of people today? In business, it seems to me, these are the sy.mbol3 of achieve ment to the go-getter: 1. A 425,000 a year job with a big corporation. 2. An expense account. 3. Somebody to answer his tele phone for him. i For some obscure reason corporation employes al ways regard themselves as fail ures unless a secretary filters their telephone calls.) 4. The right to conduct his busi ness on a golf course, or during a martini-haunted three-hour lunch eon. "... 5. The ability to get tickets to the right shows and sports events, and enough money to send his wife and children to a psychiatrist so he won't have to solve his family problems himself. For some reason only show peo ple think going to a psychiatrist themselves Is a success symbol. Most businessmen still cling stub bornly to the idea they couldn't possibly need a psychiatrist, al though some do go to fortune tell ers ior advice on their stockmar-l-.et. operations. But how about the average man? What are his ideas of success? Pretty basic. He feels if he can own a car and buy a home, keep his kids in school and out of jail, pay his taxes, buy a new suit every year, and make a friend of his wife, he's pretty successful. And so he is.

The Doctor Says Iiy EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. At least one question of a prac tical nature which has caused a good deal of discussion seems to have been definitely answered. Q Several of us were debating the advisability of wearing tinted glasses or driving hi a car with a colored windshield as a method of prventing glare while driving a car at night. Is this desirable or -not? s.P. A It seems to be quite gen. cully agreed that driving at night is more dangerous when the dri ver weals colored glasse or sits behind a tinted windshield'. BoUi together are worse than either one alone; pink glasses and a green windshield are apparently Uie worst. The reason is that tint ed glass cut down on the ability to see and therefore increases the danger of accidents. It has been suggested that glare from night driving could be reduced If auto mobile headlights were designed to spread over a wider area. Q I am bothered with a ter rible Itch in my scalp and there are little bumps all over my head. At times it goes away for a couple oi aays ana Uien come back. I am at my wit's end, JUrs. C. A There are several nosslble drseases of the skin of the scalp which could be responsible. Possi- Diy the most likely Is a condition known as seborrheic dermatitis.

In making the request for early mailing, Chester L. Langslet post master, explained that, owing to thi long sea transit frequently in volved In the transmission of par cels by surface means and to customs inspection and other for malitltes to which parcels may be subjected in the countries of des tination, it is recommended that mailings be made as early as practicable to assure delivery by Christmas Day.

Diamond Lake Tests Held P.ecent tests run at Diamond Lake Indicate that the poisoning opera tion carried on last month was com pletely effective. Some persons had wondered if the toxic effect of the chemical used would reach all ofithe deep portions of the lake. Fred Locke, in charge of lake and stream manage ment for the game commission, re ports that fish placed In water from 30 to 40 feet in the lake felt the ef fects of the rotenone Just as rapidly as did the ones killed earlier on the surface. Other tests were also made with gill nets to determine if any live fish of any kind remained in' the lake. Three nets were set overnight on four different dates, and not one living fish was caught. The nets were set in a variety of locations to insure complete checking on the lake. Tests will continue throughout the. fall until the freeze up to de termine if the lake is ready to be planted with trout. Malheur Bird Refuge Changed If you're planning on a trip to the Malheur refuge for some waterfowl hunting, hold off a minute, there's been a slight change. According to word from A. V. Meyers, federal aid coordinator for the game commission, access to the shooting grounds will be from the Burns-Crane Highway, State Highway 78, rather than from the Frenchglen Highway 205. The road junction into the shooting area leaves Highway 78 east of Lawen about three miles. Since water conditions in the area are so low, the open shooting area has been moved from the Nar rows area to Cole Island. The checking station will be located at the shooting area. Meyers, in commenting on the hunting prospects at Malheur stat ed, "Prospects are generally unfav orable even though the shooting area has been moved. The low wat er will make It difficult for the hunters to reach the birds." City Schools Hold Playday . The all-city school playday for girls of the sixth and seventh grades was held Wednesday Oc tober 13 at Modoc Field, Line soccer was played with the black team from the seventh grade win ning Uie championship and the purple winning the consolation.

' Eisenhower Makes Bid For Farm Vote In Latest Talk By MARVIN t. ARROWSMITH INDIANAPOLIS lt President Eisenhower bid for the nation's farm vnto Ictct nicht. Ravintr plfr- Uon of a Republican Congress will help assure American farmers ' a foundation, of enduring prosper ity." Speaking to a wildly cheering, capacity crowd of 15,000 at Butler University, the President Jabbed at the Truman orfminl;i rot inn In- what he termed the farmers' "sen- ous loss in buying power" in 1951-52. smaller rally of GOP colleagues ne sounded a challenge to Repuj- ncans to spur our horses . . . and to eet to coine" in the Dartv's drive to maintain control of Con gress In the Nov. 2 election). Eisenhower stopped over in the Indiana caDital in the n-iirif: nf the Farm Belt on his way bacit to hurricane lashed Washington from Denver, where he ended an eight-week work and play vaca tion yesterday. His private plane lauded at Washington National Airport early todav. several hours nftoi- the, hu.. ricane had swept north. His major address last night broadcast nationwide by radio and telecast In 15 farm states markc-d another stepup in his personal campaign to swing voters into the Republican column this fall. Durinir the first 91 mh.. his administration, he ia;d, "we i nave gone lar toward building for ! our agriculture a foundation of cn- j during prosperity, in an Amo'.'ir.., at last at peace." j He said there never had hppn more constructive farm legislation ' than that passed by the OOP-controlled 83rd Congress, and he blamed "the old farm lav," for a steady decline in farmers' buy ing power." On the speakers platform were Secretary of Agriculture Benson, whom he warmly praised, and Re publican candidates from the F.trm Belt. There had been reports from Washington that GOP leaders coun seled against having Benson on the platform, presumably ;of some Republican opposition to tne administration's controversial farm program. Benson spoke briefly ahead of Eisenhower and said the nation's farmers never had a better friend in the White House. The chief executive got a wild two-minute standing ovation when he was Introduced to the fieldhouse audience by an official of the Na tional Institute of Animal Agricul ture, an organization described bv Uie White House as nonpartisan. The TV and radio time was paid for by the GOP National Commit tee. Most of the President's address dealt with Uie farm situation, but he also: "l.Sought again to wipe out any political advantace the Democrats may have derived from secretary of Defense Wilson-s remarks about dogs and unemployment. Without specifically mentioning those furor-stirring remarks, the President said: "My heart truly goes out to ev ery one of our citizens who has no Job, or who, in other ways, suffers these hard-ships. Efforts to elimin 97 SUPPER CLUB YOUR FAVORITE DRINK AND $2.00 T-BONE STEAK DINNERS ate distress and build enduring economic strength in these local- , Hies are being tirelessly pursued." 2. Raised a question as to wheth er Uie administration might be giv ine new thouirht to the possibilitv . of conferences between this coun try and the Soviet Union. "We will confer with any and ill , if only we can have some assur . ance of suicerity of purpose, which must underlie all progress toward permanent peace," he said. Eisenhower talked at length about a long list of "bold, pro gressive steps" he said were takes by the 83rd Congress to improve, the farmer's lot. - And in a thrust at the Truman administratioon, he said: "In the two years before this (Eisenhower) administraUon took office . . . our farmers suffered a sericus loss in buying power ... "In 1947, 930 bushels of when! would buy a combine. By the end of 1952, it took not 930 but over 1,600 bushels three-fourths more." Eicenhawer noted that the ad ministration's new farm program provides forgovernment price sup port of basic commodities. But no where in his address did he make any mention of the most contro versial feature of the program me provision for shifting from rig. id 90 per cent of parity support to a system of flexible props. In the original version of his prepared text, made available Just before he left Denver, the Presi dent's call for election of a Repub lican Congress in November was clear but not stated in blunt terms. On the flight from Denver to Indianapolis Eisenhower revised the text so that he actually said, 'for the next two years ... our welfare requires a Republican-led Congress." Tlie President slugged even hard er in an Informal speech earlier in the evening to about 600 party workers and GOP candidates for congressional and state offices. In that talk at the Columbia Club, Eisenhower deplored the pessimism he said he has been finding among some Republicans in the congressional campaign. "We have got to get on our horses, get the spurs in -the grease ( and get to going," he told his ap plauding audience, "I have never in my life gone into any fight to lose ... 1 believe in optimism enthusiasm d the confidence that we can do It." He said Republicans "must stir up and obtain the same kind oi enthusiasm we had in 1952," and then declared: I "Here was the New Deal stand ing up there and doing things to jus we didn't like', end we really got busy and, girded up our toin " and went into battle. That is what we have to do again."
