When the blast that knocked Coleman O'Loughlln's tree all to smash all over his enr and caved in window hit It fair rocked our house on the founda tion. You could almost smell the ozone. The lightning flashes were com ing in such bright and searching flashes tnat my dog thought it was someone outside with s flash light and almost lost what little mind he has left. I think maybe he's deaf, or at least slightly so, because the sound of thunder failed to bother him. I suppose one should be afraid of a lightning storm nut i ve nev er been able to perk up any feel ing of fear, I rather enjoy them, In fact, as long as I can stay In side where I'm warm and dry and not out in the middle of a drenching rain. That weather, Incidentally, came Juki a day too late. We had quit the goose camp after an almost futile three days of hunting. A Utile weather would have helped enormously in bringing those geese and ducks down a l.ttle and in moving them around. Despite the vast army of birds that are in the country there wasn't any great movement over the Califor nia opening weekend. Not to as great an extent as last year at least. No complaints, mind you, mere ly a comment on what happened. Saw plenty of satisfied hunters end did well enough ourselves that we couldn't find too much to com plain about.

The matter was settled when Pan American World Airlines, again and again i pioneer in civil aviation, placed a 270-milllon-dol-lar order lor 45 huge Jet airliners.

Obviously this is Just the begin ning of the parade to Jets. All the major lines soon will be plac ing orders. It Is perhaps well that this orig inal order was divided betweer the Douglas DC-8 and Boeing's al ready well-tested Mooel 107. As suming that both craft will prove thoroughly suitable for long-range volume trafllc, we must welcome Mich a division of I he business as will help to keep our major manu facturers operating at healthy lev els. Commercial aviation has gone through so many revolutions in so short a time that some of us may oe inclined to view tnis latest pros pert s bit too casually.

Person 1.50 Person mMmmmjitmmMi The architects of bureaucracy have made much of the dwindling reserve of petroleum beating the drum of fear of famine that only the bencflcient control of a re source by the hand of bureaucracy can avert. Witness the struggle of control over the off-shore oil problem, which fundamentally was not a problem of conseivation but wheth er the army of bureaucracy could control lor Its own purposes in advancing its banner by the con trol of the profits. But does the American public gain a clear picture of the situa tion unclouded by the smoke of the fires of political ambition? The baslo problem of a famine ill fuel is much the same as the problem of a famine in fooa. the world Indeed may be a closed ves sel but ihe mind of man is not. Here, as In the case of the prob lem of food we find that science and technology are far ahead of practice. We already know pro cesses tnat will insure us liquid fuel for an Indefinitely long future. It is true that we must prudently use the oil we have, and may dis cover, the days of wasteful ex travagance as was practiced by the oil industry In its beginnings are now passed and what waste ful practices that may be still re tained by Industry are fast being surmounted oy tne technologists of the industry and not by any learner lungea booster of the no bility of bureaucracy. The technologists have already developed ways and means to sup- piemen', our liquid fuel supply by converting coal, oil shale, lignite, and other solid fuels Into liquid, ss ine need requires. We must recognize Ihe basic fac lor of change and remember that on ana gasoline as we now know and use them belong to a passing phase that will change Just as we have outlived the oxcart and the horse-drawn bugiy. one of the strangest enigmas to be faced by mankind is that living in a world of change, man him self, denies the basic factor that has made his domination of the earth possible. dust lor example, let us drop backwards Into time some 23,000 years ana take a look at this new species of animal that was Just appearing to become numerous upon the face of th? earth. There was nothing remarkable about the new species for new species have appeared Irom time to time. The history of the ages is filled wiih such events; but this particular species dlileied In one characteristic from all that had preceded It. Instead of adapting Itself to the various environments thrust upon It by an unfrlendlv and ever changing world it had an Instinct to adapt its environ ment to suit itself. Indeed, this was the most re markable characteristic this new species possessed. It began by ex terminating all of its potential competitors within the genus Ho mo, leaving only itself as the rep resentative of that group. Recently designation of "sapiens." ' Homo sapiens, or. in other words, ourselves, began the read justment of its environment by do ing the obvious. It cleared land for agriculture, built houses for protection against the weather and various enemies, including itself nnd. to a limited extent, destroyed those animals antagonistic to it as best it could. It made into vassal creatures dogs, cattle, chickens and pigs and changed the nature ol many wild plants to make easier its labor of providing Itself with food. Yet there remained many parts of its environment over which It could exert no control, for example. lightning, hurricanes, earthquakes and floods. This lack of control puzzled It. Instinct urged it on and some where- in its subconscious mental processes mankind felt that a bet ter understanding of that universe. which it knew to be its own. might aid it in its eternal fight to con trol that universe. At first, imagination was given full sway. Superior mytholocical creatures to Itself were conceived of which it assumed had control of many things. Sacrificial offer ings and pravcrs were invented to obtain the friendship of these superior mythical Rods; but grad ually, through the pnst two thous and years, such a system of myth' ology has been replncod by what we call the scientific process. What is this scientific process Indeed, all too often the term 1; used to glamorize simple common sense and then aain it is used by charlatans to give respectability to what otherwise obviously would be in conflict with common sense A better definition is desirable. perhaps we might say that' the scientific process is based upon the reproducible experiment. Facts are still, and probably al ways will be, determined by vole: qujte as the College of Cardinals determined the number of fcnthcri. In the Archangels' wings Jut a few centuries ago. To the modem scientiiically trained mind-this pro cess seems somewhat ridiculous: but was it? The number had to be determined ior the benefit ol painters, sculptors and architects nnd how else cculd it have been done? Indeed, the same process Is in use today wlin groups of scien tists gather to hear discussions on controversial subjects.

I.inda Laurence News Reporter Russia Asks Atom Agency Opening UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. I The Soviet Union is asking the United States to throw open the proposed International atoms-for-peace agency to all countries in cluding Communist China. The Russians oppose a provision in the draft statute for the agency that would limit the membership to the 84 nations in the U. N. and its specialized agencies. That would keep Red China out. The United Slates and seven other Western atomic powers sub mitted the statute last Aug. 17 to the 84 prospective members with a request for their comments. The Soviet Union gave Its com ments in a note handed the U. S. embassy in Moscow Oct. 3 and made available to a correspond ent here. are. however, two points of basic difference.

American Foresters Hear Klamath Water Summary PORTLAND im The Society of American Foresters set out on field trips Thursday after hearing that water sometimes now is a more Important product of forests than timber. R. A. Work, head of the water forecast section of the Soil Con servation Service at Portland, said several sections already have found this true. He cited the Rogue and Klamath River Basins in Oregon, There the water value is s2'25 an acre, while timber, on a sustained yield basis, Is S175 per acre in the Rogue and $110 per acre in the .Klamath Basin, Work said. He predicted this trend would spread to other areas with the Over The Garden Gate JUMPER BRANCH By Nick!

Herald and News reporter for the Bly area, when farm use of water and the water using industries increasing from 5 to 10 times in the foreseeable fu ture. A sanitation and engineering ex pert for the Oregon Board of Health, Curtlss M. Everts Jr.. Portland, urged wise management of watershed forests. He sugeested that foresters build roads well away from stream beds, that skid trails and other senrs be covered with light slash to prevent soil erosion, and that all cut areas be reforested quickly. Mason B. Bruce, Olympia, sup ervisor of the Olympic National Forest,- told of the big timber sal vage job being accomplished in the Forks burn. He said 655 million board feet of timber was affected in the 1951 fire, but that all but 30 million board feet have been salvaged. He said the rough terrain made road construction cost about $25,000 a mile, but more than 100 miles of road were built into the burned area to speed the salvage. Color photogriiphy is helping the fight against the Douglas fir beetle. J. F. Wear of the Forest Service at Portland, and P. O. Lauterbach of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. at Centralis, Wash., said. They said color photos, taken from airplane, show up insect- attacked aroas in one-tenth the time a ground survey takes. C. M. Countryman of the Forest Service at Berkeley. Calif., warned the forest iiro danger goes up greatly in areas where limber has been cut. He said ground temperature in a clear-cut area may be twice Ihat of an uncut stand of timber, thot fuel moisture may be only half thot in the forest and that wind velocity may be 6 to 10 times as hiph. -He concluded that fire con trol in clear-cut areas may require 20 times the effort in an uncut stand, "even If no slash Is present The foresters went on trlDS Thursday to tree farms and to the Tillamook Burn in Oregon to view reforestation programs there.

Paul Tsrhlrky jll llll III I 111 J left: Bennie Moore, Earl (Budge) The Doctor Says By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. "Our Iirst baby," writes Mrs S., "was born wiih a cleit palate in ihe back of its mouth. We have been told that this is hereditary v and must be on both sides of the ' family even though generations back. What is your opinion of this and th prospects of the baby be ing able to talk alter an opera tions The defect known as cleft pal ate cannot be discussed without mentioning harelip which almost always accompanies it. A cleft palate Involves a split in the bone and sott tissues at the center of Ihe roof of the mouth. The fail ure of the bone and soft tissues to grow together occurs before birth and is therefore present when the child is born. In answer to Mrs. S.'s first ques tion it is my understanding that it has not ben settled yet whether the cause of harelip or cleft pal ate is the result of some inherited factor or something else. Possibly it may be due to some injury during the growth period before birth; also German mea sles in the mother during the first three months of pregnancy ap pears to increase the chances of the appearance of these and oth er congenital defects in an infant. Tlie presence of a cleft palate or harelip at birth not only af fects the appearances of the child, but also intereferes with the pro duction of voice sounds and, there lore, results in serious speech diffi culties Treatment involves sui'Rery. The first step is to decide what opera tion should be used, and at what age it should be started. There are some difiorences of opinion as to the best age. All of Ihe operations are some- what- alike- since they involve bringing the separated bones to gether. Dental work is also needed. When harelip is present, the soft tissues overlying the bone includ ing the Hp have to be cut carefully arid sewn together in a way which will bring good function and leave as inconspicuous a scar s possi ble. In answer to Mrs. S.'s second question, a successful operation for cleft palate and harelip can great ly improve the speech as well as the appearance. A boy who has had a success ful operation can often complete ly Ignore the past difficulty, since he has the additional advantage of eventually being able to grew. a mustp.che to cover whatever slight scar might remain. The improvement in the treat ment of cleft palate and harelip is owed to the ingenuity and per sistence of a , great many sur geons. Numerous prominent per sons have overcome any difficul ties which might remain after the operation to correct these defects.
