Everyone wants to be helpful at
least once in a while and today
it Just seemed to us that we should
do a good deed somewhere along
the line.
At the moment we couldn't find
a fair damsel in distress to res
cue, nor were there any old ladles
to be helped across the street.
So we turned to a sort of com
munity project simed at helping
those who have Just moved to our
fair city. As these people go about
their daily business they will be
thrown in contact with the old urn-
ers (an old timer being anyone
who has Jived here long enough
to have become philosophical about
the weather and who can answer
any of the following list of state
ments or Questions) and tne na
tural problem will arise as to how
to strike up a conversation.
We have here complied a short
list of conversation openers under
appropriate heading" which we
hope will be helpful in starting
these new citizens oif on the right
loot.
Loral
1. Where are the falls? ' (Most
people won't know the answer to
this one. Actually there were never
any great, great roaring Niagaras
on Link River, and what there
were disappeared when the dam
went In.)
J. Why Is that mountain called
Hogback? (There are a great
many answers to this one, but the
one we suspect is correct is the
version that old Jeb, an early set
tler, once remarked that "there's
a purty little spring on the other
side of that hill, but she's higher
than a hog's back and too curn
hard to climb.")
3. Now come the town Is laid
out catty-wampus? (Catty Wam
pus, an early day celebrant, Is said
to have had a Utile trouble finding
his shack one night and future
street builders followed his tracks.)
4. Where are the hot springs?
(Most of 'em are now being
pumped through the houses , of
those fortunstes who live up on
Hot Springs Hill, The rest of 'em
run the hot grid on the Esplanade
crossing of the canal.)
8. How come there are so many
truck parking tones on ' Main
Street? (We don't, know the an
swer to this one.) '
, Regional ,
1. When was Oregon founded?
flTie easiest answer to this query
Is to ssy "Valentines Day" and let
It go at that, otherwise you'll have
to go through the whole history ol
the Oregon territory. Or jou might
Just say 1858),
3. Wnere are all the ducks and
geese I've been hearing about'
(This is a good question. Now al.
we need is a good answer.)
3. Where does the Klamath Ba
sin end? (The answer to this one
depends almost entirely on what
you are trying to prove. Geograph
ically it runs .-11 the way from the
head of Wood r.iver clear down
into the Tulelake country.)
4. When are we going to get tele
vision? (This is another good ques
tion.) 6. How are the crops this year?
(The answer to this one should be

THE DOCTOR SAYS
: By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D,
It Is impossible to guess at the
misery caused by bunions and this
Is unnecessary, too, since almost
all bunions could have been pre'
Vented.
A bunion Is really a form of
bursitis which develops at the base
of the big toe. The tip of the toe
has been bent Inward so that the
joint at Its base Is subject to pres.
sure and irritation, which leads to
the development of the bunion. It
is a swelling of the lining of the
joint and the skin over this be
comes thickened and reddened and
the whole area extremely sensitive
to pressure.
Almost all people who have bun
ions could have avoided them
They are usually the result ol
wearing Improperly fitted shoes
which are too narrow, too pointed
or too snort.
Bunions are practically unknown
among those who do not wear
shoe though tills solution is
scarcely practical for us today,
Prevention, however, can be ac
compllshed by carefid attention to
the fitting of shoes so that the an
gulatlon of the toe which leads to
bunion formation is averted.
Once established, however, what
can be done for a bunion? A bun-

said today.
ful city among the trees and wrote
of his observations. Lowell estab
lished the Lowell Observatory at
Flagstaff, Ariz., and Is best known
for his studies of the planet Mnrs.
some of Lowell s works are stronc-
ly influenced by his interest In oc
cult science, trained from contacts
he made while living in Japan
which took form In his book "Oc
cult Japan" published in 1895.
It was the astronomer's report
that touched off the fuse of public
interest, nowevcr. In Cerve s book
on "Lemuna" we. learn that It was
not Professor Percival Lowell who
made the discovery but Professor
Edgar Lucin Larkin, Director of
Mt. Lowe Opervatory near Los An
geles. Cerve shifts the story from
the well known Lowell to the ob
scure Larkin, the frame work of
the story remains the same but
takes on a considerable indefinite
note.
"It is claimed," writes Cerve of
Larkin. "that while he was en
gaged in experimenting with a new
feature of one of the long-distance
telescopes used for auxiliary pur
poses in some California observa
tory, he turned it north and south
of his location along the top of
the mountain range on which the
observatory was located, merely
for the purpose, as he said, of
testing its daytime usefulness and
to help him in gauging a new stan
dard scale for determining dis
tances. He said he had never heard
of the mystery about Mount Shas
ta, though he did know the legend
of Lemuria, and probably would
nave taken little interest in it if he
hnd heard of It. He picked out
Mount Shasta, however, as an ob
ject upon which to focus his vi
sion, because through this telescope
the high snow-capped top of Shasta
stood out clearly against the deep-
left is telescope fixed to see what
these things would look like in the
setting sun and in the darkness. He
was surprised to find later in the
nlsht that around this dome were
great lights, apparently white, which
partly illuminated and made them
visible even though there was ho
moon to cast any light at the time.
In his usual precise way he made
careful notations regarding each
peculiar thing that Impressed his
mind and waited for sunrise to
make further observations. Anoth
er adjustment of the telescope per
mitted htm to see smoke rising be
tween the trees and likwlse to see
part of another structure. After one
week's study of the matter he de
cided. to investigate further, and it
was his investigation, personally
conducted, that led many persons
to explore the region to such a
degree as was found possible. Such
is tlie story told by Larkin's friends.
This account is the most com
plete I have seen on the start of
the Tradition, it is told as coming
second-hand from someone who
knew Larkin, there is no indication
that factual notations exist upon
actual observations made at the
time, even the observatory holds
a rather indefinite position.
Cerve comes up with another
queer story In regard to the Tra
dition. "It was found," he writes,
"that at one time a very old char
acter had emerged from this dis
trict and made some sort of an
important Journey by foot to the
City of San Francisco, where he
ws.x met by some committee of
weulthy men at the Ferry Build

to the City Hall, and there some
special ceremony was held to
which all strangers were forbidden.

for a specific purpose in
case, to build a fire under party
workers. Such statements don't
necessarily reveal the sneaker's
private opinion of who's ahead.
The President spoke at a OOP
rally in New York yesterday a
day that saw him wade much fur
ther into the thick of the camnaurn
than he had done before. He even
made face for the nolitlcnes nnri ,
the photographers, pulling down
the corners of his mouth in a
grimace of dejection.
And he declared the Republicans
are never going to win if their
leaders "are going around pulling
their faces this way."
What the OOP needs, said Eisen
hower, is a "fighting heart" the
kind Jack Dempsey had when, af
ter being belted out of the ring
by Louis Tirpo In 1923, he came
back and knocked Firpo halfway j
home to his native Argentina in I
the second round. j
The President wasn't saying the
Republicans are on the ropes, I
much less out of the ring entirely. !
But his picture of a glum OOP .
In need of more backbone was in I
sharp contrast to the picture Steve
Mitchell was painting of the Demo
crats In Washington.
Mitchell said victory is "within
our grasp." But the Democrats
can still boot the election, he said,
by relaxing too soon.
"I am deeply disturbed," he
went on, "by reports of voter
apathy and Democratic compla
cency. The two together could
spell victory lor the Republicans."
This is something new for the
Democrats. They haven't been
troubled by overconfidence since
the first two Franklin D. Roosevelt
terms. , The Republicans seemed
to have established a monopoly In
overconfidence in 19M to their bit
ter regret, since the Democrats
beat them. .
It wasn't just happenstance, by
the way, that Elsenhower picked
New York as toe place to start
campaigning in earnest. That's a
state both parties are determined
to capture.
On the face of It. the Democrats
have more to gain a governor
ship. They'd like to put their can
didate, Averell Harriman, in the
seat long held by the GOP's Thom
as E. Dewey. If they do, Harrl
man will be a big man and quite
possibly a presidential contender
In the next Democratic National
Convention.
On the other hand the GOP can
didate for . governor. . Sen. Irving
M. Ives, can keep his Senate seat
If he loses. If he wins he can, and
undoubtedly would, name another
Elsenhower Republican to succeed
him in the Senate.
But here Is a Republican worry
What happens to its now-powerful
New York state organization? Dew
ey, who has led it in the past, has
in effect turned over the reins to
Ives. What happens If Ives drops
them? Could the Dewey element
keep control of the block-busting
9 votes New York will cast in the
Republican National Convention of
1956?
