BILLBOARD
By BILL JKNKINS
It nevrr falls to happen. You
can live In a community tor years
and years and year, and then have
a stranger come In from the out
aide and tell you things you didn't
know about your town.
That happened to us yesterday.
A letter came from Eugene Burns,
well known naturalist and writer
inquiring about the eyeless catfish
that are being caught in the lake.
He hsd gotten a letter from tome
people up here telling iilm they
were catching the weird lish and
wanting him to explain the why of
them.
It came as a surprise to us, but
alter a little research we learned
that these eyeless catfish, ranging
In length from a few Inches up to
a foot and better are a common
place on the upper lake, that they
range all the way from having no
eyes at all to having only vesti
gial eyea and In some cases only
one eye.
We have Informed Mr. Burns ol
- this fact but would like to back it
tip with picture. The next lime
eomeone catches one of these sight
less critters we'd appreciate It if
they would bring It down here to
the office so we can take a picture
of It.
It wouldn't do us any good to go
out and try to catch one. The wiy I
fish I couldn't catch even a blind
fish, much less one with half an
eye.
And while we're on the subject
we might as well mention that
while our piscatorial spy. Ken Mc
Leod, was on the trail of the un
fortunate catfish he came across
a yarn that some unknown fisher
man Is pulling In eyeless trout
from a deep sink hole up along
Spring Creek somewhere.
Haven't had a chance to run thla
rumor down but we're working on
It.
We know that there are certain
species of deep sea fish that don't
have eyes. Nothing to set down
there In the deeps anyhow. But It

seems strange that fish would give

opened yesterday with the usual
I flourish and fanfare. Quite a lay
out, all done In copper and greens.
But the most frequently over
heard comment among visitors
was made by those standing In
front of the massive copper shield
over the kitchen end.
"Gee, I'd hate to have the job
of shining that thing every day."
If It is as hard to keep clesn as
the copper kettles In our kitchen
so would I.
But you can't get around the fact
that copper la about as pretty stuff
ss you'd want.
The way political campaigns are
running these days It seems to be
out of style to say anything good
about a man. But right here I'd
like to put In a good word for a
favorite candidate of mine Oscar
Kiltredge.
Oscar, a good many years ago
and long before he ever got
around to running for a state of
fice, did the sportsmen of the state
a good turn and turned over large
portions of his land In Warner Val
ley to the game commission to be
used as a public shooting ground.
A shooting ground; Incidentally,
that Is. still being used and on
which I lot of birds are beuig tak
en. As a sportsman and duck hunter
myself I'm deeply beholden to the
gentleman for his action. I Just
wish we had more men who could
and would do the same.
The poor acattergunners are a
forgotten party aa far as politics
at large are concerned. It'a a wel

ALONG NATURE'S TRJV,
by KEN McLEOD
The stories of "The Mystery Peo
ple of Mount Shasta are many
and the variations so numerous
that one Is convinced their sources
are equally so. Cervc In his book
"Lemuria," has used numbers with
such careless abandon that a single
story root becomes multiplied
many times, nevertheless, the
story as he tells It Is essentially
correct as to its local circulation.
Cerve has done a tremendous
amount of research to gather this
material together. It would be im
possible to get all these stories to
gether Just by making a casual
trip to our area and so due credit
must be given to tne fiosicrucian
organization In whose files tha ma
jor portion of this story has been
preserved, in all probability a
good deal of If Is to be found In
personal letters. Many of the stor
ies carry the flavor of the "horse
and buggy days" and on into the
"horseless carriage" era of our re
gion. Now with a revival of the
legend we are Roing to have a
flight into the future with the "fly
ing saucers" ol modern day pub
licity, or, "aerial submarines" of
the period before the turn of the
century.
. Stories of the "Mystery People"
appear to have originated in most
every community about the foot of
Mount Shasta, the city of weed ap
pears to have had its group of
legendary tales,
"Many representatives of the
community from the foot of Mount
Shasta have been -seen on the
highways unexoectedly," writes
Cerve of the "Mystery People,"

and majestic In appearance, but

The Doctor Says
By KDWIN P. JORDAN. M.D.
A rather common change In ap
pearance which should be consid
ered a normal accompaniment of
elderly life is the subiect brought
up in today's first letter.
Q I have a white ring forming
around the pupil of mv eye which
Is getting larger. Do you know
what tills would be? Mrs. D.H.
A In all probability this is a
ling of slight degeneration seen In
aged persons and coming under
the name of arcus senilis. It ap
parently does not have any defi
nite significance so far as vision
or eye health Is concerned and one
should not worry about It.
Q Is there a way of prevent
ing cold sores on the lips caused
by exposure to sun on the
beaches? H. W. F.
A Cold sores of this type
are presumably the result of virus
which remains present In the lips,
but which becomes active when
exposed to excessive sun. Most
people with this difficulty must re
alise that they cannot take ss
much sun as others .without acti
vating the cold sorea; It Is possible
that your physician or a skin spe
cialist could give you a protective
ointment to put on the lips which
would somewhat lessen the danger
of developing bad sores.
Q Would It be possible for a
man to years old to survive an
operation for an enlarged prostate
gland? w. W.l
A Experience In recent years!
has Indtcated that oftentimes even
quite elderly men can withstand '
an appropriate operation on the j
prostate without too great difficul
ty. Q I am 65 years old and wear
a truss lor an Inguinal hernia. I
have no pain or difficulty but won-1
der whether I should try surgery '
or Injection treatment V. E. X
A It Is possible that a truss
is the best answer to your question
depending on the severity of the
hemla, your occupation and other
factors. It Is my belief that this
should be decided Individually hy
consultatlon with an experienced
aurgeon.
O Will you please give me

to them has resulted in their sud
den disappearance, either, as some
have said, by their running into the
shadows of forests aloug the high
ways, or as others have said, by
'Just disappearing in the twilight.'
Those who have conie to stores in
near-by cities, especially at Weed,
have spoken English in a perfect
manner with perhaps a tinge of the
British accent, and have been re
luctant to answer any questions or
give any Information about them
selves. The goods they have pur
chased have always been paid for
in gold nuggets of far greater val
ue than the article purchased, and
they have refused to accept any
change. Indicating that to them the
gold was of no value and that they
had no ne'ed for money of any
kind."
It Is unfortunate that we do not
get from Cerve the sequence of the
blossoming of our legend but Cerve
has not written his book as a schol
ar but merely as a person who de
sires to write something popular,
bringing together a vast amount of
legendary material of a group, or
a series of groups, of stories tied
Into one continuity. This phase of
his writing naturally exasperates
the historian since In historical re
search the element of time is one
of the important tools of the trade.
The unfolding of a legend and its
growth down through the years is
one of the most fascinating factors
about research in the field of folk
lore. A considerable group of stories
have been told concerning the mys
tic celebrations or ceremonies of
the "Mystery People." "Those who
have seen some of them at their
midnight ceremony around the
lire," writes Cerve, "claim that,
they have seen the silhouettes of
some four or five hundred figures,
and that this number represents
only a fraction of those grouped on
one side of the fire. The origin of
the fire or its nature is not known.
It does not appear to be the burn
ing of wood or brush or of even oil
or gasoline, for It Is a very white
light almost bordering upon a vio
let blueness In Its brilliancy. At
one part of the midnight ceremony,
beams of bright light are cast up
ward into the trees, often blazing
In the sky and occasionally ting
ing the edge of a cloud that may
be hanging low. These beams ol
light strike against the upper por
tion of buildings and particularly
the domes that seem to be
plated with gold. Where the build
ings are illuminated and can be
observed at alt they appear to be
constructed of marble and onyx.
At. sunrise another similar cere
mony is conducted, attracting a
great deal of attention because of
the lights that appear in the dark,
est part of the forest."
Cerve makes the claim that s
key was once discovered which ap
parently explains these ceremonies
nnd cinches the Lemuiian origin of
the tradition. "The only key." he
writes, "to these ceremonies that
has ever been found Isi that which
was carved upon a stone and set
up near the outskirts of the forest
ns stelnl were erected in Egypt.
On one of these there were a num
ber of hieroglyphics and under
neath were cut In a careful man
ner the English words, 'Ceremony
of Adoration to Ouatamt.' The hie
roglyphs Indicated that the cere
mony referred to was performed
at sunrise, sunset, and midnight,
and the word 'Cuatama' means
the continent of America. (In the
Lemurian language.)"

NEW YORK Iff . Many wives
of tired businessmen think their
'lives would be more, exciting if
jthey were married to a glamor
ous stage or screen star.
But pretty, blonde Loube Hoff,
a .small town Indiana dancer wht
is now In the big time as a sing
ing comedienne, wouldn't marry
a glamour boy if she won him
in a bingo game.
"I've never gone for them
they don't appeal to me," said
Louise, who is currently starred
in the musical revue, "Bon Voy
age,"- at the plush Versallle-3 Sup
per Club. "I'm too much of a
farm girl."
- louise intends to stay a bach
elor girl until her dream man
comes along, and her dream man
Is the guy some wives complaip
is a borlnt' nightmare a sub
stantial, level-headed business
man. "I've met all kinds of men,"
she said, "and I don't think you
can beat a businessman for a hus:
band a good solid citizen, but
one who doesn't overdo being
solid.
"I've never even been tempted
to marry anyone in show business,
although I love show business.
People are always asking me why
I don't get married. But when
you're two weeks here . . and
two weeks there . . . how can
you, unless you believe , in making
snap Judgments? I've got that
plodding Hoosier mind. I like to
tlimk things through."
Louise shocked the strict Quak
ers of. her native metropolis
(Splccland, Ind. population, 600)
wnen she started her dancing ca
reer at the age of 13. But her
home town is proud of her now,
and Spiceland Is still the only
place Louise calls home.
"You don't need a street ad
dress there," she said, "and ev
erybody in town calls me 'Sis.' "
Recently her Aunt Ermie Risk
and her grandmother, Mrs. Eliz
abeth Hoff, who reared Louise
j after her mother died In child-
uuui, hjii to visit ner nere. Mrs.
Hoff, a redoubtable lady of 8,
immediately plugged in the hear
ing aid she refuses to wear back
home, and announced:
"After all. theres something to
hear here. I've already heard- ev
erything in Spiceland."
The perky old lady fell in love
with New York City, and when
it was time to leave, she re
marked wistfully, "I'd like to live
here. There's " inuh going on.
Nothing's going to look good back
In Spiceland when I get home."
Louise became a vocalist by ac
cident during wartime." Tourins
I battle areas in Europe as a USO
entertainer, she sometimes found
the improvised stages too muddy
;for ncrobattc' dancing! '.
'I tried singing, and GIs seemed
to like it," she recalled. She rode
into Pari- in a weapons carrier,
stopping along the way to sing
to the combat troops. .
"After the war I Just stumbled
into comedy," she said, "and I
like It best of all."
Both her songs and comedy rou
tines have a breezy, friendly,
down-to-earth quality that night
club audiences like. But Louise
has- been traveling" most of her
life since she's 13, and now she'd
(like to find a spot in a Broadway
'show. '
I "The money Is iess," she said.
"but I want to stay put for a
while."
Che spends her spare hours golf
ing (her score is about the same
as President Eisenhower'si and
knitting.
"Actually. I detest knitting."
she said. But it helps pass the
time until the right tired bui
nessman comes along.
Louise is prepared to knit him
a pair of free socks as her dowry.

cused Harrlman of helping engi
neer in 1925 a securities deal in
Poland "out of which Harrlman
and his associate made millions
of dollars and the Investors lost
millions."
Harrlman called Dewey's charge
"more distortion and smear." John
P. McGrath. Democratic state
campaign manager, said payments
to investors were halted by World
War II because the properties in
volved were in German hands.
A new Republican charge also
was made in the Rhode Island
campaign for governor. Dean J.
Lewis, the GOP candidate, said in
a televised speech that the Demo
cratic attorney general, William E.
Powers, tried "desperately to cov
er up" for the former chairman
of a now insolvent insurance firm.
Democratic Gov. Dennis Rob
erts, who is seeking reelection,
called this a "deliberate false
hood." Powers termed it an "un
scrupulous political smear."
In Pennsylvania, Eisenhower to
day will be luncheon host at his
Gettysburg farm to the state's Re
publican congressional candidates.
On Monday night, the White
House announced, Eisenhower will
make a nationally televised "non
partisan" speech on economic con
ditions. Secretary of the Interior Douglas
McKay last night charged in St.
Louis that "the Democrats have
never yet solved the unemploy-
inent prooiem wnnout war."
McKay, addressing a GOP rally,
aid the Elsenhower administra
tion has gone from a war to a
peacetime economy with less un.
employment than any Democratic
regime can claim.
Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Tev.s
Senate Democratic leader, told an

There are other Issues, too. h
they haven't drawn much pubii
attention. Morse accused Cordon i
being too sympathetic with aJ
josepn Mcuaruiy, nut McCartt-
isn i an issue any more. Mori
and Neuoerger also claim Cor
is an Isolationist, but that doeso
seem to nave caused much of
stir.
In fact, nothing seems to be Mir
ring the voters up very much. Tbi
speakers have drawn
crowds, and this heartens Uie R,
publicans. They figure that thi
voters don't toss a man out c:
office unless they are disturbed.
The registration figures, wilci
normally don't mean very-much,
don't indicate any marked tre.-t
toward the Democrats. True,
uemocrats gamed a little ovtr
Republicans, but not enough t
snow tne voters are sore aui
anything.
Despite the record amount ol
campaign oratory, the noils she
that there are a lot of voters vhi
don't know anything about thi
campaign issue.
In touring the state. I found thti
the Republican leaders are work
ing their heads off trying to ae
the' precinct workers to work. Re
publicans are so in the habit ol
winning elections that they tti
apathetic.
In fact, that's why Secy. McHiv
was urougnt out here to campalgi
ior iour days. He tried to convlici
the Republican precinct worsen
tney nave to get on the ball,
while Uie Republicans have been
taking life rather easy and a little
gioomny, the Democrats hai
found a new enthusiasm, fn count-

beating the brush for votes,
one political writer, in Lane
County, said he believes that t-tl
Republicans have hurt themselws
by being too gloomy , about theii
chances. He said he believes ttw
some Republican precinct worki
nave given up.
Cordon, who has been electi
twice, never has had to camoaii
before. Now he faces the battlt ol
nis life,
Neuberger, who got his campaujt
sianea long before Cordon
under way, was a heavy favoritt,
out he isn't now. Both parties no
are confident they will win In a
ciose one,
The Democrats are banking an
the appeal of "cheap federal
power" to carry them to victor;'
ova Cordon. But the Republicans
expect that enouoh of President
Ei3enhower' popularity will ro&B
