McLaren PAGE SIX By DEB ADDISON A WISECRACK that Is often caught in the advertising rounds and which, like many wisecracks Hoes like this: "Oon't contuse mc with lacls," my mind Is made up." In the first place, advertising i& a form of communication that ex plains, promises benefits, and stim ulates personal interest about pro ducts and service. Too. many advertisers make up their minds solely by the kind of advertising that attracts or repels Inem personally. (One wlsecracker has labeled this the "country club complex." For umpteen years now we vc carried on an unsuccessful crusade to have a price put on every oiler. Ing of goods and services, on the basis that all advertised benefits are important only in relation to what they cost. Now read tills fact from "Sales Management" magazine: "00 per cent of the public prcler to have prices shown in advertising and nearly half or all readers drop an Item from purchases consideration when advertising falls to state the price." That applies equally to the la test gadget from Ihe beat known manufacturer oflcred by the best known atoro and to the used baby carriage in the want-ads. The National Association of Man ufacturers have made an Interest ing contribution to the field of conservation education by the pub lication of a booklet with the title "Native Land." This publication Is a product of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers Advisory Committee for the Educational Aid on Conservation composed of edu cators and Industrialists. The little publication is well worth reading and aside Irom an unqualified glorification of the wood chopper In virgin forest I find little to criticize, in fact, most heartily rec ommend It. I am sure that the National Association of Manufact urers. 2 East 4Bth Street. New York, 11, N. Y. would be happy to send you a copy should you ask lor It. The first chapter of the publica tion "Native Land" points up the problem and emphasizes the nu man necessity of recognition of the conservation problem. The writers of tno booklet approach tno prob lem In this fashion: "Every day of the week more than 160 million Americans start their day be sitting down to break fast that could Include any of these foods Juices, fruit, cereal, eggs, bacon, ham, pancakes,' waffles. butter, ayrup, toast." (What? No coffee I) "The sun also rises for millions of people In other parts of the world. But, In some countries, many people don't sit down to a waiting broakfast. Instead, they wonder where their breaklast, or any other menl that day, Is coming from. "Yot, Uicse countries were not always poor and hunger-stricken. In fact, they were once the bread baskets of Uic world. They were prosperous anil powerful. What hap pened to change all this? "Trace tho course of civilization westward from what historians call the Cradle of civilisation the area through which the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow In Asia Min or.

BOB CONSIDfNE'S definition of a newspaper: The miracle on my doorstep. "Where does the fault lie when fertile land turns barren? Some times, nature itself brings about changes in climate and water sup ply and Inland migrations of sand along coastal areas, "But, at other times and here we can learn a very valuable les son from the past the fault lies with man and the use he makes of the soil and other natural resourc es. In addition to natural deserts, there are man-made deserts. "Geology studys the formation of the earth's surface and subsurface. Biology studies living things, both plant and animal. The science of conservation uses these and other sciences, like chemistry and en gineering, to study man's relations to his natural environment and his uses of the soli and otlier natural resources. "There are two main resource groups: "1. Non-renewable like Iron, cool and on. These do not renew, or restore, themselves. When the last coal Is taken from a mine there will never be any more coal In that mine. An oil well pumped dry stays dry forever. "2, Renewable like soil, grass es, forests, water and wildlife. These have the power to renew, or restore, themselves .... "The riches of nature our na tural resources exist to be used, not only to sustain human life but, also to add to man's health and happiness. Conservation means use, but not just any kind of use. "Conservation means wise use. It seeks to pattern our use, wherever possible, on the basis of natural laws laws by which these re sources grow and by which they can renew themselves for use by generations lo follow. Conservation works In Ihe present with an eye to the future." The booklet restricts its discus sion to Ihe field of renewable na tural resources and shows how, when properly managed, these re sources remain In plentiful supply. It shows how soil, grazing lands, forests, water and wildlife can be In harmony while, at the same time, contribute to man's progress, prosperity and Inspiration.

So now the government has acted to put the brukes on ini one important Held home-buying. ' monumental debt is a superior The steps were not severe. Vet-j credit risk. The percentage of de erans who up to now have beenlaulters is normally very, very able to buy homes without a down.smnll. payment will hereafter be required! Nevertheless, that same history to put at least 2 per cent down Purchases under FHA will call lor a 7 per cent down payment In stead of the present 5 per cent. Both the Veterans Administration1 and FHA reduced the maximum term for repaying a mortgage loan from the present 30 to 25 years. Indications from builders arc that this tightening will aflcct the nousing market. Authorities had concluded that under the old terms buying a house had become too easy and painless. But the credit expansion, of course, goes far beyond the hous ing field. Installment sales cover ing a wide variety of products, from automobiles to household ap pliances to TV sets, have been pushing to new highs. Commercial bank loans to consumers rose about one billion dollars in the first half of 1955. The total o.' consumer credit in all forms climbed to a record 31 'i billion dollars in May of this year. I VET'S MAI LB AG Little or no change in the vol ume of home purchases by eligible veterans under the GI Bill home loan program Is foreseen by Vet erans Administration olficlals, fol-i lowing a tightening of credit re quirements at the end of July. Under the new requirements, which were announced Jointly by VA and Federal Housing Admin lstratlon, no-down-payment loans are discontinued, and mortgages terms reduced. Instead, veterans purchasing homes under the GI Bill loan guaranty must make at least a 3 per cent down payment, with maximum term of the mortgage not to exceed 25 years. FHA terms differ from those set by VA. v Since April 23. 1953. the VA has had no mandatory down payment requirements and the mortgage payment period could run as high as 30 years. lie new action eliminating the no-down-paymont requirements, VA said, was taken alter a thorough study of national economic condi tions, especially those prevailing in the residential construction and mortgage financing fields. The new requirements are ex pected to help protect prospective GI loan applicants against in creased prices of homes, overex tension of credit and financial risks. Further. Ihey should tend lo stabilise the mortgage market by limiting the 30-year-no-down-payment loan which currently 1s being traded at widening discount margins. VA explained that the new re quirements are not retroactive, and are not applicable to purchase of homes (or which VA has Issued certllicaies of reasonable value nrlor to July 30, or in rases where requests for appraisals actually had been received In VA offices prior to July 30. Send Your Clcaninq Wilh Your Laundry Just Phone 5111 CASCADE Klamath's Finest BIOSSAT Some economic specialists have argued that there need be no great apprehension as this total rises. since the history of the country shows that the average American the fellow who Is piling up this suggests that if we would avoid serious ups and downs we must be particularly alert 'at the critical moment when a boom is soaring freely on credit wings. This is the lime to show full resolve to control the upward spiral. For if credit Is loo easy, some people will over reach themselves. And that- dan gerous process can only go on so long. Then will come a heavy re trenchment that will affect us all. There are many, many elements of stability in the economy which did not exist In the boom of the Into 1920's. But there is no econo my which Is proof against unbrid led, thoughtless expansion of credit. In Us housing action the govern ment has taken beginning steps toward reasonable control of this boom. Raising the discount rates in some areas was another. Still more moves may be called for in the future. If the situation dictates, they should be made fearlessly. In the Interest of the whole nation VA also said that the require ments will not apply to GI loans made solely for the replacement or reconstruction of residential property thnl. has been destroyed or substantially damaged by flood, fire or other simlbr catastrophies, nor to repair, alteration or Im provement loans. Question of the week: Q. I bought a house with a GI loan, and now I am planning to sell It. I was considering having the buyer take over my loan. Must I get VA's permission to do this? A. no. VA's permission is not required. However, you should re member you remain liable for the GI loon, even though vou sell vour house to another person. You can relieve yourself of all liability by. insisting that the buyer refinance the house.

LAUNDRY & DRY CLEANERS Opp. Post Office The Doctor Says By EDW1V P. JORDAN, M.D. The first letter reminds me of a story, probably not true, about the man whb suffered seriously from headaches. He was given many tests without finding the cause. Then one day he weiu to his haber dasher to order shirts and the clerk asKed him what size. He renlld "Wi"; the clerk took one look at mm and said, "you need size 15." The gentleman then replied that he always wore 14'j to which the clerk said "alright I'll get them for you but if you wear them they will give you headaches." Q I recently suffered the mis fortune of having carotid sinus syn drome. Like many men I failed to check my neck size and gave little thought to the snugncss of my collars. A turn of my head, dizziness, and finally a complete collapse occurred In a matter of moments. The resulting after-effects were certainly unpleasant and remained for several months. Do you agree that tight collars are at fault? g. H. A This is an interesting obser vation and. although some people have carotid sinus syndrome with out wearing too tight collars, one would think that this might make the matter worse and is a point which should be remembered by those with this comparatively rare condition. Q Will you please settle a friendly argument with my neigh bors? They say that a sure way of testing for mumps is to try to eat pickles. I -say that is a lot of bunk and our children asked for and ate pickles when they had mumps and so did I. Mrs. L.C. A Probably most DeoDle. at least during the acute stage of mumps, would find pickles, straw berries, and some other similar foods, painful or at least uncom fortable. There are certainly ex ceptions to this general rule as seems to have been the case in your children and yourself. (J To settle an argument, is it possible for anyone to contract any ol the following diseases through a blood transfusion: leukemia, syphilis, or diabetes? Mrs. E. L A This seems to be a day of argument! It Is not possible to con tract leukemia or diabetes through a blood transfusion, but it is pos sible to transmit syphilis In this manner. Q Will you please explain the functions of the spleen. Mrs. M.A. A Apparently, this Is a day also for stories. When I was In medical school one of the teachers one day asked another student (who seemed to be lapsing Into refreshing sleep) the same ques tion. The student came through with something of a start and re plied that he knew all right but had Just forgotten. The professor then remarked how unfortunate his forgetfulncss was since the student was the only one in the world who knew the functions of the spleen and had just that minute lost this precious bit of information. The functions of the spleen, as this story illustrates, are not well understood. The spleen has some times been called the graveyard of the red blood cells that is the place where the red blood cells are destroyed when they become old. Whatever the functions of the spleen really are, this organ can be and sometimes Is removed and the bodv seems to carry on its functions quite well without it. mm wKr,MV'V' Plants in the Pot, Suitable For Planting in Clumps.' $450 I Cash and Carry -OR- Wrapped, Suitable For Prize or Gift.

By LYLE DOWNING If time hadn't been an important element, Reginald F. McLaren, president of the Klamath County Bar Association, probably would now be a disciple of Hippocrates instead of a lawyer. During his boyhood In Toronto, Canada, McLaren harbored a deep seated ambition to be a physician. He spent his spare time reading medical books and talking with doctors. But the Impatience of youth fin ally triumphed. When he enrolled at Alberta University in 1920, he found out he could complete a law course in five years but it would take him nearly eight years to go through a medical school. "In those days," he recalled, "time didn't seem to pass as rap idly as now. A couple of years seemed like a cenlurv." HUNG OL'T SHINGLE After he was graduated from Al berta University in 1325 with a law degree, McLaren entered private practice. His shingle was only out for a year in Alberta when he de cided to migrate to the United States. He spent the next 10 years in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle as a claims attorney for various insurance companies. In 1940. Attorney McLaren and bis wife, Madeline, came to Klam ath Falls. He has been engaged in geueral law practice here for the past 15 years. As president of the county bar, McLaren has. some pertinent Ideas on how the legal profession can be improved. He says he agrees with a recent statement by Loyd Wright, of Los Angeles, president of the American Bar Association, about the prevailing attitude of the majority of the legal profession concerning criminal law. WRONG ATTITCDE "Mr. Wright in a recent talk before the Multnomah Bar in Portland severely criticized this at titude," McLaren declared. "He used some pretty strong language about the status of criminal law in this country. "In recent years the rate of crime in the United States has In creased four times," McLaren con tinued. "Mr. Wright pointed out that approximately 6.000.000 of our citizens make their living from Il legal activities. Mr. Wright added that although the responsibility for this deplorable situation rests with the people generally, he empha sized that the brunt of the blame is born by the administration of criminal Justice in our courts." The Klamath County bar presi dent said It is generally conceded that the legal machinery with which lawyers work today Is for the most part obsolete. Repair That Garden With Hardy MUMS In Bloom! 6th Ph. 8188 "I am again quoting Mr. Wright," he continued, "when I say that today's crime is the pro duct of an urban society and our horse and buggy legal machinery has proved unable to cope with the challenge of an atomic age." McLaren blames low salaries paid public prosecutors for many of the ills of the legal profession. "As Mr. Wright told the Port land bar," McLaren concluded, "the practice of criminal law has been allowed to degenerate into the slums of the legal profession. Criminal law, except in a few notable instances.
