MAIL 1 Month Month 1 Tear ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD In yesterday's column I gave a little background information on the coming National Watershed Congress to be held In Washing ton, O.C. on December 6 and 7 of this year. There Is little doubt but that thla Congress will become an annual affair and out of this type of meeting will come our greatest amount of public understanding of the national water problem. Those who seelc to establish full control ot water resources of the nation In the hands of the federal govern ment will undoubtedly put up a valiant battle to gain control and direct the course of events Into their channel of thinking. Tha conservationists have been much concerned about this meet ing and the course upon which it might be directed. The conserva tionists desire the tone ot the Na tional Watershed Congress to de velop ways and means of aiding people at the grass roots to a so lution of their water problems but will this objective become over shadowed by pulling and tugging about what the federal government should or should not do Is a de cided worry. In this National Watershed Con gress the Administration conserva tion program can get under trie with the end result a lot of bick ering will so becloud the basic Is sues that no constructive objec tives will result. In this National Watershed Con gress, special groups, such as per haps the CIO may want to vote their entire resource concept. The conservationists are going to have a struggle to keep the pro gram in line with the subject and out of such controversial extrane ous subjects as public versus pri vate power. Oroups who dd not subscribe to present national ad ministration policies will want to be heard and they probably will be. A really comprehensive Water ahed Congress will not Just happen by Itself and so every effort has been made to get the right people to this meeting; people who can apeak with authority for their alates and (or programs of sub stance In local areas. This Water shed Congress can do real good or oelinlte harm to the cause of wa tershed development generally it all depends on the Interest the American people take in the meet ing. The preliminary watershed meet ing held May 21 and 23 in Wash ington set up a committee to make all the arrangements for the Na tional Watershed Congress In De SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, Wl In the Jargon of the astrologer tha stock market is now In the sign of the Internal Revenue Service. This is the time of year that stock traders sell and buy with In come tax returns In mind. The new (actor will color Uie market picture, already compli cated by the entry of the public as an important buying element nn entry which traditionally stimulates buylnc, and worries some profos , sionals. Profit taking also is an obvious (actor of weight in tho stock mar ket. Those who prefer a bird In the hand have been selling to ensh In on the gains of . the exuberant post election market. Their selling tins slowed down markedly, but not halted, the upward surge of pricey. To this and to the newly em phasized Interest of the public as always, on the bullish side must now be added the selling of those who want to establish losses for tax purposes, or Uiose who for reasons of their own want to make their profits a matter of record, also for tax purposes. A third group who may be active, both as sellers and buyers, will be some managers of porllohos of stocks their own or those they control who may be switching from slocks which have had notnblo price gains into otliers which haven't Joined the upward surr;e as yet and therefore may promise better yields. All of these cross-purpose lucturs should make the dally perlormance of the stock market In the ne:t (our weeks particularly Interest-lug. CALL CARLSON'S FOR FINEST reupholstery service.

President of the National Association of Soil Conservation Districts, who had been chairman for most of the May mectlnc, was appointed to this committee along with Ray Mc Connell Jr.. Editor of the "Lincoln, Nebraska Journal ' and C. R. Ouv ormuth of the Wildlife Manage ment Institute. Richard Smith of the United States Chamber of Com merce made a motion which car. rled to add the name of E. R. Cot ton. President of the American Watershed Council to tne Commit. tee. Anthony Wayne Smith, CIO conservation spokesman around the Nation's Capitol nominated Gordon Zimmerman, n o w e v e r, Zimmerman withdrew his own name. Since there were no further nominations the task of organiz ing the Watershed Congress has fallen to the tour men Davis, McConnell, Outermulh and Cotton. The committee was to name three subcommittees and the se lection of these committees seem to set the pattern lor this Decem ber meeting. There was to be a committee on arrangements, one on program and a third encom passing three significant tilings (al legislation, lb) budget and (c) or ganization administration and co ordination of agencies (Federal agencies inferred.) Out of this National Watershed Congress will undoubtedly develop a demand for the adoption of a National Water Policy. The Out door Writers Association of Amer. lea will present their statement of land and water policy, tne state ments which have been discussed before In this column. Other or ganizations no doubt will likewise present their points of view and out of this exchange of views may develop something basic to take place or tne scatter gun approacu we are now progressing unaer. Without a definite national pol icy to guide our steps we can do no more than drift along and Into un charted dangerous waters. The worry of grass root Interests in the abilities of the federal agencies on Canltol Hill Is becoming increas ingly evident. This year Edward Beeeher. chairman ol tne water shed Management Committee of the Missouri Conservation Federa tion made tho statement: "We, and the Congress of the United States, are directly responsible for the creation ol tills Frankenstein Monster which neither the Presi dent of the United States, the Con gross, nor ourselves can control." The amount ot stock trading (or tax purposes this yearend has the brokers perplexed. At (lrst glance, there wouldn't seem to be many losses to be established, so steadily upward has been the main course of stock market this year. SUice September 1953, for example the In duslrtals as a group have added 50 per cent to their collective mar- ket value. But look at any recent day when the Stock averages made a new high for the year and you'll iind that a few individual stocks were mnklng new lows for the year. Traders who guessed wrong on them would have a loss to report for tax purposes. To do tills the traders could make a simple sale and the loss is a matter ot record for matters of tax reporting they can't buy this same stock back for 30 days. If they still have faith in the slock, as often is the case, and want to retain their holdings, they have an other course. They can buy an equal number of shares of the stock. They must wail 30 days and then sell their original holdings for loss-eslnbllshing, while retaining the new block lor whatever pur pose they hove In mind. Ot course. If Hie price has gone down in the I period they had to hold both blocks, they'll be sorry. - Soiling to establish a profit could ilx (or Iwo reasons. Either the own er prefers to pay the tax on the capital gain this year rather than next, or he has losses on other capi ital holdings which ollsct the profit: result no tnx. Budget Terms If Desired TheyH Do It Every Time '"-- By Jimmy Hatlo NEW BOOSTS ON THE DESK by Addie May Nixon city librarian Alter new books arrive at the li brary they are processed cata logued, marked, and pocketed and men placed on my desk for ine to look over. The other day I was trying to plan a column about books that would be Interesting and suodenly this plan came to me. What could be more interest ing than sharing with you the books I find on my desk each week? I hope ' you will find it a help. Any new shipment of books is like a Christmas package to me. Among the new books on my desk this week, I find "View From the Parsonage," by Sheila Kaye Smith. When Henry Chamberlin took over the parish at Ebony he could watch from the window of the parsonage the lives of the Cryall family. This is their story, and especially it Is the story of Blanche, and her tempestuous life. Sheila Kaye Smith has long been a favorite novelist and this Is her first novel since 1951. I find another new novel, "The View From Pompey's Head" by Hamilton Basso. It is. a story ot a young lawyer who. after an ab sence of fifteen years finds it nec essary to return to his old home. He unravels a mystery and finds a love affair, a personal cri sis, and begins to understand the forces at Pompey's Head that have made him the man he is. There are two new gift books here on my desk. Billy Graham's "Peace With Ood" and an old re ligious classic by Hannah Whitall Smith. Both of them are worth your while. There is a new biog raphy, "Madeleine, Young Wife" by Mrs. Robert Henry. This is the third in a series, each one interest ing and complete in itself. There is a "New Flower Arrangement Handbook 1 by Myra J. Brooks. A new book on Insects a guide to familiar American insects. Anoth er beautiful book is "The Old Tes tament and the Fine Arts." It is an anthology of pictures, poetry, TELLING THE EDITOR ( 111 IU II AM) STATE When church nnd state are unit ed the politicians become mem bers of the church and have a large part in governing it and, at least some of them are not Saints. The state church was supported by public taxation and those who questioned the system were put out of the way often by torture. The lowest estimate ol those who had the courage to face the sys tem and were put to death, accord' ing to a reliable church- historian, was 50 million but some historians place it as hitch as 200 million. Probably about equivalent to the population of the United States, to day That was in oil Europe of course, but France had a large part In It. The church got the blame and then the French set out to give all Europe the liberty they thought they had nnd, under Napoleon, they almost succeeded. In Russia we see a repetition of the French revolution. The Russians were governed for ages with a vast church - state system and the serfs were slaves. When their revolution came, they Mallorys Money Savers Half Young Pork Half Young Beef Potatoes U.S. Ironing Boards r rears Get Your Free Mallory's 1 Mcrrill-Lokcv'iew Junction music, and stories covering the Old Testament. There is also a new, 'Handbook for Discussion Lead ers. " The last book I pick up is Alan Le May's "The Searchers." This is a story concerning the fracture line west of the cross timbers be tween the frontier Texans and the Comanches. "The story is not concerned with either justice or justifications, but with emotions engendered by the irrepressible conflict. The search of Amos Ed wards and Martin Pauley for the captured child Debbie makes as suspenseful and moving a story as any in print today."

Like France, they almost aban doned the marriage relation, but they, like Fiance, found after a lew years trial that that theory would not work. They, like France, may go to war to accomplish their ends but why do. that if they can ac complish their ends by lying and why not use that means, since they have abandoned all moral standards but their own? Notice that a similar condition exists in China and India where heathens are breaking with their religions. Notice that Christ refused to be a ruler or even a judge over his people so those who killed people who did not agree with them were not following Christ's example. The fathers of our nation knew what church and state union had done for Europe, and they deter mined to lay the foundation of our government so that the United States would not have such an ex perience and they have succeeded Cut and Ofic Wrapped JIb Cut- and 35 Wrapped JTtlb No. 2 Klamath SO LBS. 89c Light weight, with S A 98 2 Pad and Cover Fancy Juit out o lb Bicycle Tickets Y Market And 3S01 Altamont Drive Pelican Ilcut By NANCY CLARK Hi readers!

The Future Nurses' Club held thler second meeting last Tuesday. A new member, Sherrie Weston from Bly was introduced to the girls and a "get well" card was dispatched to Ruth Larson. The girls decided to meet one night monthly at the YMCA. They! will open the first nocturnal meeting by stuffing dolls and animals for un derprivileged children. The club will also undertake many more wonderful charitable projects. Pink pants, pink shirts, pink socks, pink shoes, and more pink are crowding the halls of our fine school to the uppermost extent. That likeable little chap Sid Jack has arrived lately attired in a vio lent pink and black shirt. Ernest Childers and "Punky" Adams sur prised a few in their olnk Dants. but not (or long. Dave fteeder has dominated everyone as he takes the prize (or his pink and maroon shoes.

These golden hours of the busi est if not the highest century of civilization how does she use them? At last I am able to give a positive, burning feminine an swer. During my recent visit to Bel gium my friend, Relman (Pat) Moiin, a Pulitzer Prize winner and one of the ablest ' reporters o( our time, did me a great per sonal favor by filling the space it Is my duty to occupy. , , He made the mistake darned if 1 didn't forget to warn him against it ot praising women. Nothing nets a man in more trou ble than complimenting the ladies. They are so suspicious! While boasting o( the (eminine sex's greater longevity and dura bility, Pat made the offhand ob servation that, after all, "The av erage housewife doesn't have to over exert herself in the pursu ance of her dally chores." This has resulted so (ar In 18 zillion letters denouncing Pat and not a single one to thank him lor all the kind things he said about womenkind. So be it.

The Supreme Court, ruling last Mpy that public school segrega tion is unconstitutional and must end, left unanswered (or the time being the two key questions: how and when? The court now can't attempt to give the answer before far into i next year. Even then, judging irom uie cuun a wnw in handling the segregation prob lem, it is unlikely to call lor over night action. The court doesn t have to toiiow Uie views of President Eisenhower and Atty. Gen. Brownell but no doubt will consider them. Both last week came out for a careful and gradual ' solution as against a sud den one. And those Southern states which have given their opinions to the court have caUed lor a gradual approach as a minimum, although Negroes have told the court they want segregation ended no later than September 1956. A (ew Southern states In extreme opposition to the court's ruling, particularly Georgia, may try the following kind o( device (or thwart ing any final effort of Uie federal government to end segregation at all- End their present public school system and substitute another kind (or instance, private asso ciations to keep white and Negro children separate. The Georgia voters approved such a plan in the Nov. 2 elections. And Georgia's Gov. Talmadge has said: "Segregation in Georgia will not be ended at any time." The Supreme Court ruled against segregation in public schools. An arrangement like Georgia's, sup ported by public tax money, would be in effect a public school system Phenix City To Resume Trials PHENIX CITY, Ala.

Or would Itf Some lawyers here foresee, be fore there could be an answer to thnl question, a fight all the way up through Uie federal courta again to the Supreme Court, a fight which would take more years.

But lt wanted the bene, fit of Uie views of those most closely connected with the Issue. It asked the states involved ana attorneys for the Negro groups fignting segregation to explain, in briefs filed with the court this fall. what Uiey thought should be done. The briefs were filed. The states proposed the take-it- easy course and tne negroes wanted desegregation accom plished by the fall of 1958. The last brief, from Brownell's Justice Department, was given the court last Wednesday. That was one day after Eisen hower had talked to a news con ference of the need (or a solution carefully arrived at. No doubt he knew what Brownell was going to tell the court the following day. Like Eisenhower, Brownell set no deauline (or ending puono school segregation. It should be done as "quickly as feasible, he said. And lie proposed the high court allow tho judges in the federal district courts in those states jwhich have segregation to work out the details, and the timetable, wilh state and school officials. The court had intended, after getting Uie written briefs, to let the attorneys on both sides argue before the court in December. Now the court has postponed those arguments until sometime, date still unset, when it has a full bench to hear them. The nine-man court now has one vacancy and Eisen hower's appointee (or the Job, John Marshall Harlan, is not slated for a Senate vote on his confirmation until next year. After hearing the arguments uie court will consider them, perhaps for months, before finally giving a decision on how and when segre gation must end, a decision which may not come before next June.
