'., Hn,., ..H j women for the fact their husbands contact .with "The Mystery Peo ple of Mount Shasta" when we camped in the remnant of the deep mysterious forest on the eastern slope of the mountain was not without anticipation as we had been forewarned that such an ex nerience would undoubtedly be the case. Nevertheless we had hoped that they might have an unguard- ed moment and we might have an opportunity to observe some man ifestation of their occult powers. However, now that civilization has swept over the region and every ftot of the mountain Is under scru tiny of fire watchmen of the For est Service, it could be that the "Mystery people" have abandoned their old time festivals In the for est and have retired within their stronghold reported to be located deep within the mountain. This would be considerate of the "Peo ple" not to have the fire-fighters continually chasing ephemeral blazes causing the continual exer cise of their powers to turn back the eager-beaver firemen. Early in your acquaintanceship with the Tradition of "The Mys tery People" you are warned in regard to the powers of these peo ple to dissuade the curious of pry ing Into their affairs. Cerve, In his book, "Lemuiia" gives one ac count of these powers: "Every attempt by investigators to invade this district." writes Cerve, "to observe what was go ing on resulted in a slmlliar ex perience, and the similarity of these experiences related by persons who had never come in contact with those who might have Informed them, is one of the out- jitanrilnir nieces ftf evlrienr.- re.! gardlng the truthfulness of the whole story. Invariably Ihe Inves tigator was considered an Intruder and after having reached a cer tain point in his progress toward the center ol the lights and sounds he would either come In contact with a heavily covered and con cealed person of larRe sire who would lift him up and turn him away from the district, as though forcibly impressing him with the Idea to hurry away as rapidly as possible, or a strange and pecu lair set of vibrations or invisible energy would seem to emanate to wards the investigator and force him to remain fixed in his position and to be able to move in no other direction than away Irom the place of Inquiry." This Genii stuff out of the Ara bian Nights was a new story to me but Cerve has it in his book and must have picked up the story from some source close to the mountain. The story of the "Mys tery People of Mt. Shnsta" pos sesses an Infinite number of ari tlons and has been told, and re told an amazing number of times. The people of the Klamath Basin little realize the extent of interest that the Tradition has created tn the world outside our little region, and for that reason 1 have felt ihnt readers of this column should be Informed of the Tradition and its Various phases, a good stcry Is only kept alive with lis telling. We are glad that Cerve and the Roslcruclan Press has taken steps to keep the Tradition alive. I am sorry that publishers did not give a sketch of the life of W. S. Cerve who has written the book "Lemur- la," they did. however, feel it nec essary to add six pases of argu ment In their appendix in antici pation of letters from sceptical readers. One point about the book that might be overlooked is that none of these stories have been the fabrication of Cerve s imagin ation, he has merely placed Into a sequence group of anonymous stories to build substance to the Tradition story presented in regard to the Lemurlans. "It is strange." the publishers write, "that most of the critics have centered their comments upon that one small section of the book dealing with me story aooui Mt. Shasta and the traditions as sociated with a mysterious group of people supposed to be living in it environs."

Red Warship Contacts Told PEARL HARBOR 'tf Commu nist warships have been contacted in the Paciiic out have showed no hostile intent, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet said Wednesday. Adm. Felix B. Stump declared at a news conference that none of the Communist warships or submarines has acted in a hostile manner. He didn't identify the Communist craft but he obviously referred to Russia. The admiral indicated' the Com munist vessels which he said have been sighted throughout the Pa cific were unaware that they had been seen, thus suggesting the contacts were made by U. S. sub marines. "We constantly observe move ments of vessels in different parts cf the Pacific, submarines and various tynes of craft whom we have identified as Communists," Stump said. His remarks followed a two-day conference between Stump and the commanders of Navy forces from the Far East. Japan. The Philippines, the West Coasi and Hawaii. Rear Adm. George L. Russell. commander of submarine forces in the Pacific, said his underseas craft were in "good shape 13 meet any possible trouble. Rear Adm. Burton Biggs, com mander of Service Force.

"The comments on this point." state the publishers, "are divided into two classes: namely, those who very definitely state that their own casual or extensive Joumeyc to the neighborhood of Mt. Shasta have failed to give them any evi dence of the points stated in this bock. . . and from Individuals or groups who have made extensive Investigations, and sometimes only casual contacts with certain areas around Mt. Shasta and have found ample evidence to support some of the statements made in the book." The publishers are between two firing lines their advice is to the point: "The reader of this book must either make a Journey for himself and take the necessary lime, and patience to make dis coveries for himself, or accept these traditions. look younger or cuter in a white Ipuiid, checked or striped shirts. shirt. (But the wives should know better.) I It is a pleasure indeed to nole now that one of the nation's lead ing shirtmakers is attacking this old shibboleth In a series of ads entitled: Never wear a white shirt before sunduwn." "A white shirt with a business suit Is really the loudest thing you REPEAL MILK CONTROL Mr. Jenkins, m his editorial, states that he is going to vote against the repeal of the milk control law. That is his privilege, but it Is not his privilege to make misleading statements. In the first place, the repeal of this law will not aifect the purity of the milk which you consume. I quote from your voter's pam phlet "Statutes administered by the state director of agriculture covering sanitary regulations in the production and distribution of milk would not be affected by this repeal." It wasn't the Milk Control Board which closed over a hun dred dairies because the bacterial count was too high. It was the state director of agriculture, which has nothing to do with the milk control board or the milk control law. Moreoever, the controls which the present law has set up tend to encourage the production of Im pure milk. This one example, and there are many of a like nature. will Illustrate what we mean. A man wbe was selling milk to a local creamery came to us want ing to buy m milk cow. He said th?.t some of his cows were dry and he had to have replacements :n order to hold his auoia. The cow he wanted had never been tested, we are not in the business of sell ing milk, but he didn't ask or care about that. He only asked how- much milk she gave. He wasn't interested in the purity of the milk but only in holding his quota. While Mr. Jenkins is shedding verbal tears over the poor dairy men, he might spare a few for the poor' children who must drink powdered milk because their par ents can't afford to buy fresh milk or for the poop parents who must do without other necessities In or der to buy milk for their children. If Mr. Jenkins must shed tears for the dairymen let him weep for this one. A man near Ashland saw that the dairymen were making good money and it seemed like a good business to get into. Sure, it was hard work, but don't we all work hard for what we get eluding Mr. Jenkins? The man Gpent a lot of money, all he trad, and secured a fine herd of tested dairy cows and dairy equipment which passed all the regulations for a Grade A dairy but he had to have a quota. This he applied for. A year and a half later he hadn't received his quota and was going broke selling his fine milk to a cheese factory. We know that the milk control law Is no friend of the consumer and there are enough instances of the kind just mentioned to make us think that it is no friend of the dairyman, either. Why the quotas anyway? The milk control board says it Is to insure a constant supply of pure milk, but a a man win supply any kind of milk he can get in order to hold his quota and a man equipped to supply grade A milk is denied his quota Isn't it apparent that the quotas are for the numose of limiting the supply of milk in order to hold the prices Poet's Corner up? And what a price for the blue- john milk you get. If I had a cow that didn't give any richer milk than vou have to Buy I a sell her for hamburger. Any dairy man would ao tne same, wnai happens to the extra cream the cows give and tne dairymen sen? Look in your local papers. The government buys it with your tax money and sells It to Europe for five to fifteen cents a pound. If your children had the kind ot milk they deserve we wouldn't have to spend so much good tax money on butter subsidies. Mind you. the milk c 0 n t r 0 board sets a maximum butterfat content to be sold at a minimum price. In other words, it hits you with both fists. If a dairyman dares sell richer milk for the min imum price he is punished. In stances of this sort ot dealing have been in the papers. Mr. Jenkins seems to think tnat free enterprise should exist if you go to a farmer and buy your milk there but he defeats his own ar gument by saying that he is going to vote against the repeaf. Men have been arrested and fined for selling milk at prices below that set by the milk control board, and will continue to be so treated until the law Is repealed. As far as we know this is thr only law which is administered and enforced solely by those who benefit by the law. Por your own good, for the good of your children and for the good of the dairy industry vote "Yes" on measure eight. Mr. and airs. George Lewis. Route 3, Klamath Falls.' SOUTHERN SYSTEM A paid political radio-announce ment by Candidate Neuberger that is currently being broadcast in this direction keeps telling us that Sen ator Cordon did a shameful thing when he voted tor the Hope - Aiken bill and we are warned that Can didate Neuberger would never sup port such a measure. The Congres sional Record reports that the first time this bill came before the Sen ate last spring, It received the blessing of the spokesmen for the two major parties. Our one man party from Oregon was present but said nothing although he votea with the rest, thereby making the vote on final passage unanimous. If Candidate Neuberger had been present and voting, everyone would have been out of step but him, a situation that has often obtained during his term in the state legis lature. ' M.

Mail Orders Filled 4- SHOE SALON So far aa the writer has been able to determine, the foregoinr. measure was the only administri. tion sponsored bill that passed tha Senate last session by unanimous vote, me nexi ume me Mope Aiken bill was considered by the Senate, Senator Anderson, a Dem ocrat, led a successful light to tack it onto the senate version of the farm bill, thereby sending the bill to conference over the objection of Congressman Hope who wa trying to bargain for a fixed price support on Kansas wheat. This is the same Mr. Anderson who served several years in tne cabinet as Secretary of Agriculture by ip. pointment of the New Deal presi dent whom Neuberger reveres. Tnus Candidate Neuberger has commenced to feud with his Dem ocrat brethren before the votes are counted. Being a Southerner who was born and raised in the South, I am familiar with the type of cam paign tactics that Candidate Neu berger is using. This is the same type of campaign that I observed v.aged by Bilbo and Claude Pen- per. Mr. Neuberger knows that the average voter cannot keep abreau of the true Washington story, so he deliberately choose." to misrep resent tiie facts, and thus hopes to confuse the voters enough so as to get elected. Julian Herndon, Jr. Lakevlew KEEP CORDON ' Guy Cordon, for many years past, has had more Influence than any other senator in getting the usually too inadequate initial ap propriations as reported by the House Appropriations committees raised to the point that Northmen power dams and transmission lines could be kept on construction schedules. Through ability and seniority he is now chairman of two important committees, the Committee on In terior and Insular Affairs, and the sub-committee on Interior Appro priations, both vital to the North west. . It Is imperative to retain the services of this man who holds sound economic views and knows intimately all phases of timber, reclamation, power and other na tural resources law. On the "promise of past per formance" we can expect even greater results through bis new chairmanships, and close relation ships with the Administration, the Departments of Agriculture and Interior, the Army Engineers, and the Bonneville Power Administra tion.
