CAUGHT IN THE ROUNDS

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

glorification of the wood chopper

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

"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.

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.

Both the Veterans Administration1

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

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

or reconstruction of residential

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.

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.

"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. In big cities has
fallen into the hands of those on
the fringes of the profession or to
the 'mouthpieces' and alleged
'fixers' whose offices are In their
