But as long ss we go on getting In glove witn special groups and with a definite aim in mind. Like, maybe, feeding the birds in the Northern areas in order to keep them from raiding crops further to the South There have been many groups in the past who have sponsored such Ideas snd who are still fighting to keep toe birds in the North ss long as possible. Thub our late seasons and huge closed aweas. Now, If someone would come out with a proposal that we use sur plus grain to feed the migratory waterfowl In the Spring when they are heading North I could go along with It. There Is no gunning sea son then, they could be fed with impunity within the reserves and these appeals such as feeding the birds aimed at toe soft hearted, non-hunting. I'd-as-soon-shoot-a-per-son-as-an-animal-or-a-blrd type of person then we are never going to have any sort of understanding or agreement on the hunting prop-1 osiuon. I'm afraid that hunting Is on the way out along with the dodo bird and the buggy whip. I might also add that If people are worried about the poor birds starving tu deatn In this area they are nuts. Hie birds pulled out of the Basin last year while there was still plenty of feed around. And we wintered a big crop this year. The birds made out okay. Dr. Richard E. McArdle, chief, United 8tates Forest Service very effectively took his listeners at the national convention of the Itaak Walton League In Chicago this year back to April 1, 1906 to show ins progress we have made in conservation since that date. Speak ing o the forest industry particu larly as it was 80 years ago Mc- iraie sis lea : "The average wsges for all In- ousines are uoo 34 cents an hour. In the logging woods the .hourly wage runs from II to 17 cents snd as high as 27 cents on the Pacific Coast, but In some places In the South a woods work er gets four cents an hour and board. "The northeastern states have long since been logged over for white pine and are now (loos.) be 'ng logged over again for spruce The lake states still turn out a lot of lumber, but ere 16 or 20 years past their peak of production. They have been pretty largely cut over. The South as a region is In the lead now, but this year H05i on the West Coast, Washington stale will come up with a lumber output f nearly four billion feet, more than any other stale. The United States lumber production in 1006 will be a near record year with 43.600,000,000 board Icet. but the all-time pesk of 46 billion feet won't be resched for another two yeere. "Horse logging s.-.d bullwhack lng Is still going on In many places In the Lake states. River Drives are still fairly common In the North and East. The Fsr West and the South, however have turned to railroad logging. They don't know, ol course, that 25 or 30 years later, sleum "donkeys" and steam locomotives will in their turn, begin to be replaced by dlesel "cats" and trucks. "Now what about toreslry? ' Where do we stand in this year of 1906 In placing forest lands un der management lor the continu ous production of wood? "We stand about as you would expect at a time when It la easier and cheaper to move somewhere 3. umu may pyt ,na ,cw t(m logging equipment, and logs at the landing. "On very little forest land Is conscious elfort being made, In 1906, to grow timber as a crop. The Forest Service has Just been established, and the forest re serves transferred from the Inte rior Department lo the Agricul ture Department, but the lob is mainly custodial. It will be that way lor some years to come. There are perhaps a few thousand acres of prlvstely owned forest land where conscious effort st long time management lor timber pro duction Is being attempted. There are a few thousand acres of forest tree plantations such as those on the Blltmore ests'.e in North Car- ollna. But for the moat part, any one wanting to plant a large acre age probably would have to import trees irom European nurseries, "As s matter of fact, there are only s few foresters competent to plan snd execute such work. The oldest forestry school Is only sev en yesrs old, and this snd other schools have turned out a total of only 71 graduates. No one has any Idea that by 1996, 36 colleges and universities ollerlng prolcssional training In forestry vill have granted 21.600 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate degrees, "No one has any idea, in 1906. thai hall a century later we wili have nearly 600 million acres un der organised protection from fire. No one Is thinking, in 1905. that In 5o years most ol our public forest land and most of the land In larger forests Industry owner ship will be getting increasingly good msnagement. No one evrn dreams that in 1955 we will grow in American tree nurseries ann million ,trees and plant all of them ui une year. "Looking bark lo 1906 from where we stand today. In 1955. it Is easy to see the great strides that we have made toward better utilisation of trees In the woods and in toe mill, to see the sub stantial progress in forest man agement, to see advances In many fields of resource conservation. And it Is Just as easy for me latter two acknowledged in turn the Influence of Malthus on them. Malthus argued poor people were responsible lor their own misery ano nsn no rigni to public relief. Spencer was against all state aid lor the poor. He considered them unfit and thought they should be eliminated. "Clear the world of them snd make room for better," he said. It was Spencer who coined the phrase "Survival of the fittest." applied so aptly later to Darwin's studies on evolution and natural selection. Spencer's philosophy said, in etfect, that the race be longs to the strong and that might makes right. This gave a philosophical Justi fication to the ruthlessness of American business In the 19th cen tury, to the creation of trusts snd the elimination of weak competi tors, and to the policy of forgetting about people who became too old to work. In the middle of the last cantury President Fierce showed himself a pure Malthusiasn. In 1834 he vetoed a bill passed by Congress under the urging of Dorothea Dlx, a social reformer to give mil lions of acres of government land to stales to care for their Insane. Pierce suggested help to the poor, Insane or not, makes them more helpless. The first really general welfsre legislation approved by Congress alter the Pierce veto of 1854 was in 1927 when li voted almost one million dollars for maternity and Infant hygiene. It dropped that two years later. By that time Western European nations were si least a generation ahead of this country In social leg islation, such as old age pensions ano unemployment pay. Before 1936 there were 36 states with old age pension systems si' though they covered only t frsction of retired workers. And seme states before then had unemploy ment and accident insurance. Be cause of the burden of this ex pense, states which had fecial security system. But by the time the depression was a couple of years old It was clear that unemployment and in security were national proolems. some exaggerated plans for old age pensions and unemployment pay sprang up. They would have cost perhaps 20 billion dollars a year. They put pressure oa the government for action too. In comparison with them the Social Security Act passed by Con gress 20 yeara ago yesterday looked very conservative. . HAL BOYLE By, ED CRF.C.H i the first angel. "Pretty primitive. (For HAL BOYLE) !

' these two angels sitting on a cloud in heaven Well, not exactly sitting because angels don t have bodies. Besides, there aren't any clouds that high. But anyway these two angels were resting themselves, so to speak, both off duty. Just taking it easy, when a silvery whoosh passed by. sna: "Glory be!" exclaimed the first angel. "Whatever do you suppose that was?" . "Space ship," said the second angel. Just for something to say. "Looked like the Mars Express lo me. Thought I recognized the man, fellow named " "Stop that!" protested the first angel, who was the serious tvpe. "You know perfectly well they haven't got space ships on earth yet." "Okay," said the second angel. Like all angels, he had an angelic disposition. "Chances are," he said, "that was the satellite. You've heard about the artificial satellite?" "I've been briefed." said the first angel, cautiously. "Whose satellite do you suppose It was? It was going fast enough around the. world In 90, minutes, or whatever the figure Is. Whose was it, do you think? Ike's? Or that fellow Bui ganln's?" "Hmmmmmf," smugged the sec ond angel. He'd been on headquar ters detail lately and wasn't going to tell all he knew. "It's a little bit classified," he teased. "Keep it to yourself, then," the first angel said, struggling to maintain the disposition expected of him. Even angels have their pioblems. "I'll tell you," the second angel relented, "if it won't go any far ther. You've got the general Idea? These people shoot basketballs, or whatever they are.

GUEST EDITORIAL BY LESLIE SHAW I.akerlew County Examiner I've been told by some who maybe know more about it than I. that my, temper Is always at ine nasn point, well, 11 flashed the other day. A daily paper from Portland had s story about our uranium rush. It was a United Press story in the Oregon Journal, and the headline said: "Armed Uranium Prospectors Common Sight In Lakeview." Purest brand of unmitigated poppycock. Sure, we know that here, but folks In other places, reading that piece about "Pros pectors armed with shotguns or wearing six-guns strapped to their waists . . .' wouldn't know it was an outrageoua lie. I don't have to belong to the Chamber of Commerce to resent Ui-; kind of clap-trap about Lake County peo ple. The same balderdash was on the air Wednesday, and some folks thought It came from me. A woman at a K Falls radio station had phoned and wanted the dope about uie uranium rush.

A. writes that her two-and-a-hali-year-old grandson has a dis ease known as 8n Joaquin fever or valley fever and sajs that lew of her friends know much about it. This disease, medically known by the tongue-twisting name of coccidioidomycosis, is not yel twith emphasis cn the 'yct'i wide-i .pread over Ine North American continent, It is caused by a fungus and ' has. so far, been most frequent in Southern California, It Is loond in; otoer parts of the southwestern United States and seems to bei sprerding slowly eastwsrd. Aside from the fsct of lis sp-! parent gradual spread, it may be; of interest to people living in many parts of the comment because there are so many military camps jx the southwest In which young men and women from other sec- ions may be quartered, and con sequently expo-sed. Trie fungus respansible lor coc cidioidomycosis has been found in : members of the rodent family and in the soil. Human beings may be attacked by this fungus either; through a break in the skin or. more commonly, by inhaling it. I It is not spread directly from : person to person, though there 1 have been a good many laboratory ; infections in those who have been'. st.-?ylng the organism. ,: When acquired by inhalation, symptoms may be entirely absent, I but if the reaction to the iniec lion is severe enough, cough, loss' of sppetite. fever, headache and. other symptoms much like those: of tuberculosis of the lungs are , likely to occur. j Quite often, after a week or two. j skin lesions, which are sort of j bumps, may appear. It is this kind of coccidioidomycosis which: is sometimes known as San Joa quin fever, desert fever, valley; lever or "the bumps." The outlook for those attacked bv the disease is usually good.; Most recover fairly promptly with-i out any special treatment. Occa-' sionally, a person gets a form! which Is pretty gensialized or which attacks the delicate mem brane lining the central nervous system, snd under such circum stances the outlook Is poor. Also, the chronic type which oc cms from time to time is diffi cult to trest because drugs or medicines so tar tried are often not particularly effective. Coccidioidomycosis Is at oresent largely a regional problem and does not afflict a large number of people. What the future will bring, uowever, is another matter. The spread of coccidioidomyco sis end its direction must be watched carefully. Let us hope that if it does become common more effective treatment methods will be discovered. 10$ 91 eOf ASK ABOVT A ff VACATION LOAN 0 tae jew mttlaMleeil n aaaiiaf 2 M.ktlMlatomtaaemram J law eatPlim He aseaey ym sees.
