And irom the response It was getting last weekend Irom the children, not to mention par ents, who attended, Ben and Phyl lis Kerns can well be proud of their achievement, The two of 'em- turned out the whole show, from making the pup pets and learning how to operate them to writing ins scnpi. a real good deal for Christmas And on top of that they have a full fledged Santa to take requests Irom the children after the show. First on-the-scene report of the recent snow storm was handed along to us by Dean Bcckley the other day. He was telling about going flown south with a load of cattle just as the storm hit. Bald he'd never seen It snow harder than It did In the Mt. Hebron area, and then he had to hole up in Mt. Shasta and wait for the road to be opened again after a load of Christ mas trees squawed off the road and blocked trafflo for several hours. We know from past experience that the road around there can be a real holy terror in winter. Last time we were In Weed It was rain ing hard and the wind was blow ing a small gale. So hard in fact that tho service station attendant had quite a lot of trouble getting Ihe hood Up on the car and keep ing it there. , Glad we live in such a mild cli mate up here In the High Desert. Once you've lived In Klamath Falls you Just keep on being a native. That has been proven a good many times. Last example was a visit last week from Bus "Crooked Creek" Thompson. Bus, who has been one of the better known auto salesmen around here not to mention his hunting, fishing, flying and other things, now makes tils home In Frinevllle, It was good to see him again. Jim O'Donahue tells us that every time the fog comes down he can count on finding or having turned In to him at least several ruddy ducks that have flown Into the wires and broken a wing or otherwise crippled themselves. It seems that ruddy's Just don't have the control In the thick wea ther that some of the other breeds do. Every winter there are at least two and sometimes more ducks, usually spoonies, who get hung up in the power line across Link River ut the Fremont Bridge. They fly in between the power line and the messenger, wedge their necks In the tiny space and hang them selves. But so far this year there have been no tragedies. A few ducks have killed themselves on the wires and hit the pavement, but we don't have any grisly reminders of the dangers of living hanging there as yet. The November 18th Issue of Men's Wear has Just come across our desk with even more bad news. TheyH Do It Every Time .

Bach year about now this cru sade cry rings across the land, and lurid pictures are painted of wild pre-Yulctldo orgies indulged in by the white-collar peasantry before they board the last bus home on Christmas Eve. Sin in foreign boudoirs always holds a certain attraction. But to Mrs. Jones, the average house wife, even tile thought that a holly wreath has been hung up in tho workaday atmosphere of her hus band's office conjures up scenes of Jar-wilder abandon. She has heard nil about those revolting office Christmas parties. Here Is what she imagines:. Promptly at 5 o'clock the office dciks bprout leaves and turn- into tall oak trees hung with mistletoe. Champagne begins to bubble up magically from the office water cooler. A door opens and out comes the boss, dressed In goatskins. Over his shoulders are draped two gig gling stenographers, wearing noth ing but brleht red lipstick, vine leaves in their hair, and a filmy White veil. "Here, Jones, have one on me," cries the boss, tossing him the prettier girl. Jones, who by now Is clad in a goatskin, too, catches her easily. The oilier men and girls In tho office, all decked out In goatskins and veils, Uien Join hands and circle tho water cooler In a game of rlng-around-rosy, pausing now and then to dip their warm muz zles in tlie cool bubbling cham pagne. Hidden pipes ploy a mud tunc... the laughter and the sor.gs grow louder.. .goatbklns pursue the veils in a merry chase across the desk tops. Jones entches snd holds the Cov y struggling stenographer, and panting hard murmurs, ''Miss Smilh, you never told me you had freckles on your shoulders. Let me count them." "Oh, we re right under tlie mis tletoe, Mr. Jones," she whispers, "but aren't you married?" "What Is marrlaRe?" says Jones, behind to her upturned lace . , .the music swells. , .the cham pagne bubbles higher. . .higher, . , Fadeout. Now here Is what actually hap. pens at the "office Christmas party"; The boss calls in the fellows half an hour before quitting time. "It's been a good year, boys," he says, "and I want you to Join me In a little celebration." lfa gets out come paper cups and a bottle of Old Grandson. He moistens the bottom of each cup with a few drops from the bottle, then fills the cups to the brim with water and says he's sorry ha for got to get In any ice. ' ".Cheers," ho says. Tho boys gulp down their drink, then stand around with their cups In their hands llko Oliver Twist waiting for more porridge. "Merry Christmas," says the boss, banging In the cork back in the bottle. "Take the rest of the day off." . So tho gang troops out together. goes down to the nearest bar and has a couple of rounds while they feelingly discuss what a grand old something or other tho boss is. ' Well, any boss Is better than none," said one. They all laugh and start home. "And where have vou been, htu shot?" asks the wile as Jones comes through the door. Oh, the fellows nt the office Just had a little party," he replies amiably. The next moment Jones feels a high-heeled shoe beating a tattoo on his skull, and ha hears Ills wile's voice crying: wen, aon t think you can come reeling home to me. vou boast- I know whnt you've been Up to you and that smirking Miss Smith." Whnt I say is, fellows, we can't win. Too many wives now believe in ine legend of the wild office Christmas party. Even if all us desk Jockeys quit our Jobs and went to work in factories, you know what would happen? 'some blue-nosed dreumcr would start yelling a new slogan. "Down wllh factory Christmas parlies!" vice of Wallonians who live out in the country. As usual the chief agitation for return of game law enforcement to the Came Commis sion from the State Police had Its most vocal exponents in the city of Portland, opposition to this action appears to gain as the distance extends away from this conjestcd area and within which the State Police do not function. Likewise, as usual, The Wildlife Manage ment Institute was present with its sneering innuendo that the Ore gon system of game law enforce ment was a failure. The Oregon system of Game Law enforcement Is frankly an experiment, no other state in the Union handles its. game violations Just exactly as does this state. Granted, in any new venture off tho beaten path of traditional action, there will be rough spots as we well know every pioneer must face. Usually there are helping hands to smooth over the ruts In the trail by people who are sincerely Interested In seeing a good Job done but not in Game enforcement. Perhnps one of the strongest workers in the attempt to tear down the Oregon system of Game Law enforcement la Ira Gabriel son, President, of the Wildlife Management Institute, one of the nation's outstanding conservation ists. "Gabe" has a phobia over Oregon game law enforcement, he has said: "It won't work," and the fact that it has been working and has gained strong acceptance among a powerful segment of Ore gon's population has been a source of constant irritation to him. We have not forgotten his attempt to force Oregon to change its sys tem a few years back by attcmp Ing to have federol funds cut off unless game law enforcement was returned to tlie Jurisdiction of the Oame Commission. "Gabe" lost that battle because the people of Oregon got slightly irked in hav ing an ex-bureaucrat back in Washington, D.C. attempt to dic tate to them how Oregon should run its business. We conservationists are only hu man and we have our disagree ments on such comparative minor matters and over which we can fight amongst ourselves when we are not out fighting the common enemy it keeps us in shape and fighting trim, a sort of ex orcise as it were. Thus we can excuse "Gabe's" attltutde to some extent but he has cast the chal lenge will Oregon meet It? It would seem to me from all my casual reading, that one ot the greatest challenges today- in the field of wildlife management Is tlie problem of game law en forcement, yet in spite of all the arguments attempting to convince us as to tho "efficient" enforce ment being obtained by other states who do not have Oregon's queer system as they refer to It I find that my sources of information, all complain of fail ure of their states In tins depart ment. Everything is far Jrom be ing rosy in this game law problem elsewhere across the nation so on the count the Oregon experiment Is not unique even though it at tempts to accomplish Its task with diflerent machinery. The intense interest that seems to be placed by other Game De partments in other states to get Oregon back into the traditional fold of enforcement (which has a long history extending far bck and beyond the Sheriff of Notting ham who was continually pursu ing the old poacher Robin Hood) Is a most Interesting subject It would seem as if these other states were almost afraid that Oregon might make her "queer" system work!!! The chief difficulty apparently In the Oregon system has been the lack of a harmonious coopera tion between tlie State Police and the Onme Department which navs foe the enforcement cost. Without a doubt some criticism can fall upon the Gsme Department but apparently the greotest amount must fall upon the State Police it- !self. Sportsmen likewise are to be blamed In this affair because the most influential politically are oft en strong proponents for enforce ment against the other fellow, they do not like too much impar tiality. From this group we have had a number of boys who strong ly urged that Oregon stand by tradition and kick the State Police System in the teeth. On the other side of the fence we have an equal forceful group who want to protect themselves from the Gun- Goons of the Citv who have urged the State Police to ignore many of the game problems. Thus we iseem to be caught withm the framework of a structure of our own choosing with no one honest ly saying: "Come on boys let's get this straightened out." We are a great bunch of side-walk super intendents so long as we do not have to shoulder any burdens. One particular gripe, and a legi timate one on tlie part of sports men is that two many people are now getting a "free ride" on our wildlile resources without contri buting one thin dime to the kitty tlie sportsman must bear the whole burden. If ho gripes at the tremendous bite taken from the game fund for enforcement he should not be condemned because he well knows how far that money can go towards the vital problem of restoration of our wildlife re sources. Since all the people of Oregon shai-e in wildlife benefits whether sportsmen or not it would only be fair that the burden of law enforcement be born by the State's general fund and not out of the threadbare pocket of the Game Commission.

Bells Hardware 528 Main Ph. 5662 SAM DAWSON NEW YORK in Santa pack may hold a billion dollars worth of toys this Christmas for tlie first time. The new accent this year is on do-it-yourself toys. Prices are thor oughly scrambled, but only in rare cases higher than a year ago. There seems little doubt that there'll be more toys than ever sold this year to doting parents and uncles the only question is what effect price cutting here and there will have on the final retaj dollar sales total. The Toy Manufacturers Assn. of the USA reports today that wholesale sales of toyn this year to stores will be between 600 and 55 million dollars, against las, year's previous record of 450 mil lion. In past years this would be translated into retail sales to con sumers at a billion dollars or more. Last week widespread toy pro motions by stores notably some big city department stores plagued by competition of discount houses drew crowds to toy counters but scrambled the retail markup fig ures across the nation. Toy promotions have started earlier this year, and Ihe war be tween discount houses and the old line stores has heightened the coin petition, and increased store traffic. Association spokesmen say the group has taken no oificial stand on the question of "fair trade" a legal device for maintaining the manufacturer's listed retail price on his branded products. Some of its members fair-trade their toys. but the majority do not, the ... sociation says. Some stores are reporting d. lays in deliveries on late orders snd the association predicts a com plete cleanout of stocks this Many stores had largB inventoriM ot toys left over last year, mi were hesitant about oidering untu late this year.

"If the doctors of the nation will cooperate by keeping fees down," he said, "socialized medicine will never be necessary.
