New Format
By BILL JENKINS
With tills issue the Herald and
News launches a new format for
the editorial page. Format being
. nothing but a much used word in
inis industry meaning the makeup
- or appearance of a page.
We have adopted this new style
in the hope that it will make the
page easier to read and more in
teresting to our subscribers.
Wa have dropped the old column
headings with the two column mast
In order to lacllilate makeup and
enable us to wrap the type in the
name manner as multi-column
magazine style.
In case you're interested, the
tag lines on each column are set
In twelve point Bodonl bold lace
type, the Dyiint-s are in seven
point upper case Ionic light lace
and the body type is seven point
upper and lower case Ionic. In
the masthead at the top of the
page the name of the newspaper
is set In Old English and the
slogan Is In twelve point Century
condensed. All oody type is set
on an eight point slug which makes
It easier lo rr-aa and aids in pre
venting blurring.
We hope you'll like the new
page.
Incidentally, letters to the editor
will be carried in exactly the same
style as the editorial matter with
the exception that letters will be
headed in parentheses as being
"lo the editor." The name and
address of the writer must be at
tached to the letter and in the
future no letters to the editor will
be published without this identid
cation.
We sincerely hope that residents
or the Basin will look upon the
letters seotlon of the editorial page
in tne same light that they do the
editorials themselves.
If we could, afford a staff of
several hundred editors to cover
all phases of life in our country
we would certainly do It. Since
We can't we, and all other news
papers, must rely on you, the
reader, for additional outside com
ment. It is unfortunate that all-too-many
letters received are of
the crackpot variety or from chron
ic complalners who use the col
umns to vent their spleen against
everything and everybody.
But we welcome letters, "anerlal.
ly the Ihoughtlul, intelligent ones
that really present the reader with
constructive ideas.
Why Is It that all summer lona
when we want to get out of doors
and work in the garden or hold
a barbeoue on the sun deck or do
any of the other outdoor things
ma practically every week end
turns up cold or windy? And In
the fall when we want to get out
in ine luiea ana nave the wind
blow a few ducks over the weather
turns out clear as a bell and twice
as soft as a lamb's tail? There
just ain't no Justice.
A letter In the mall the other
day from a woman in Texas want
ing to know if I'd heard anything
aoout a purse being found up in
the Collier Park area. Seems that
the purse, a blacic plastic one, con
tained not only all the cash the
family had, several hundred dol
lars in bills, but her prescriptions
for various medicines and other
papers.
Losing a purse Is truly an un
nerving prospect, but I find little
sympathy for people who lose a
purse with large amounts of cash
In It. Not when it is so easv to
pick up traveler's checks and thus
protect your cash against loss or
theit.
Dora Skeen write us that the
Women's auxiliary of the Disabled
American Veterans remembt-red
President Elsenhower on his birth
day and Bent greetings from the
Klamath post lo the president al
Denver. I'm sure thai Ike appre
ciated Hie thought and that his
return card of thanks was sincere.
He's that kind of a guy.
Economy 4.ool

It's said that any sneaker gives
three talks: The one that he
planned ahead of time, the one
Ihe audience heard, and the one
that's mulled over afterwards thai
he'd liked to have given.
Here are boiled down parts ot
version number three from an ap
pearance at ihe Klamath Board
of Realtors last week.
Wt assume an outlook and de
rlre tor growth and creation ot
new wealth lor the Klamath Basin.
It's acknowledged that the Pacific
Northwest Is a rapidly advancing

By working to u.a our natural
avaniages ana pushing to make
minus tail me wnv we want them

a better place In which to live
ann maxe a living.
That's the sole purpose and ri

ly member ol Commerce.
We're talking aoout economle He

holds true here, Just aa it docs

It is that you can't turn such
things olf and on as needed like
you would a faucet on a water
line. You have lo keep everlastingly
at it, men, wnen conditions a
ripe, you're in a position to gel
results.
An example of keeping at It tha:
you now can see Is the Klamath
Air Force Bnse. Bark In 1851 the
City of Klamath Falls was saddled
wiui an ah port that, because ot
Its sire, was a wnile elrphaat.

so to pot or doing something abouti
it.
The city approached the chamber
lo look into the problem and Ihe
chamber aviation committee went
to work. The work which was start
ed then was carried on without
visible signs of success until Feb.
t, 1854 when the announcement
of the Klamath Jet-interceptor base
was made
It still took until May 15 this
year for work on the airport to
start. It will take until December
of 1856 before the base is fully
manned with a complement 1009
men.
The Klamath Air Force Base Is
of primary importance, of course
as a vital link in the defense of
the United States. It Is important
as a matter of economic develop-
ment of the Klamath Basin in tha.
it will provide another new annual
payroll of about three ana a nan
million dollars. That Is compa
rable to another Weyerhaeuser
Timber operation, but it is one that
will expend no natural resource.
The base, along with Oregon
Tech, adds further diversification
to our well-balanced agriculture,
industry economy.
IN'ew IleNideiiiN
By MAX WAUCHOPE
With the arrival in Klamath Falls
the past few months of the first
contingent ol U.S. Air Force per
sonnel we are seeing, and meet
ing, some of the oftlcers and air
men who will be operating the
Jet interceptor base here when it
is completed sometime next year.
The air officers, led by Major
Thomns M. Oerblng, base execu
tive officer (who, Incidentally, hails
from The Dalles) and Major Os
car D. Whltten, air Installations
officer, from Corpus Christy, Tex
as, have appeared before various
clvio clubs and other organizations
in Klamath Falls. At these meet
ings the air officers have explained
to us, as much' as USAF security
regulations allow, the mission of
the Jet base and Its personnel
when it Is completed.
The time and energy these of
ficers, and their airmen, have spent
in becoming a part of the city's
life typifies the changed attitude
of the military In its relationship
with civilian communities since
the helter-scelter days of World
War n.
Thla new attitude reflects the
aims of Air Force leaders, who
tince World War 11 have used
every means at their disposal to
acquaint the American public with
their missions and the problems
tney encounter in carrying out the
defense of the U.S.
At the Air University, Moxwell
Air Force Base, Alabama, the Air
Force employs top military and
civilian experts In the field of civic
relations. These teachers conduct
special courses, at the various lev
els of the school, to Indoctrinate
air officers In ways to deal amica
bly with civilian authorities and
uieir communities.
The picked USAF officers who
attend the Air University explore
every means wnicn may be used
to integrate themselves, and the
airmen under their command, into
the Uvea of the communities near
where they may be stationed. The
Air Force emphasizes service per
sonnel to consider themselves as
citizens of the cities near where
tney are stationed, as well as mem
bers ot the Air Force.
The vital point to be remem.
hered by the residents of Klamath
fans, and the surrounding area,
Is that when the let Intereentor
base goes Into operation it will
be a vital link in the Western
Air Defense Command of the Con-
tlnental Air Defense Command.
Most of the living which will
be done from Uie base will be op
erational. In other words, the Jet
aircraft will be sent up on gen
uine air alerts which mav be
called at any time by the control
centers of Ihe Western Air De
fense Command. Training flying
will be secondary as the base will
be an operational, not a training
base.
So, when you are awakened In
the middle of the night, some time
in the future, you mav rest as
sured the Jets are up tor a very
good reason and not Just on a
lark.
History
By KEN McLEOD
The Klamath Basin Is soon lo
experience a new flood of people
attracted to the region because
their occupation Is connected with
the new air base. One of the first
things these people will ask about
the country to which thev have
come to live Is the question ol Its
history. What Is the history ot the
Klamath Area and where can we
find out about it?
The answer Is not simple since
Ihe newcomer must read about
the story ot the land in many
p aces since there Is no accurate
historical account published thai
will give him the complete storv
of the Klamath Region. On the
other hand, much of the material
mat the person who seeks to dis
cover for himself he soon finds
to be Inaccurate and more than
olten plainly distorted. Tills be
comes exceedingly confusing lo the
hesmner In history but Is a com
monplace matter to the veteran
researcher.
We read many Interesting ac
counts ol the st.rrm, days ol earlv
pioneer times, we read ot place
names that were upon the tongue
ot every settler end yet today we
search our maps vainly for these
place names but cannot find them
The locations ol Ihe old trails are
becoming lost and a great deal
of confusion now exists around
them. The person who h ik-.h
all his or her hie In the Klamath
Basin may not consider thee
things to be very important ir
history of the region has been tra
dition within the familr. but to
uie new corns resident who is in-
nnb
terested the answer Is Important.
One of the best methods of 1m-
parting knowledge of the history of
the country is through the medium
of mqrkers located upon the actual
sites oi the historical events. There
are a few such markers scattered
about the Klamath Basin but there
Is need for a greater Increase in
their number and especially mark
ers that contain "thumb-nail" ac
curate accounts of history.
In 1846 It was proposed to the
Oregon State Highway Department
that it would be of worthwhile
public interest to mark the old
emigrant trail intersections of our
present day highways within Klam
ath County. At that time three
locations were suggested and a
script for each marker suggested
Unfortunately a senseless squabble
arose over the name of the pioneer
trail precipated by an organization
that terms Itself the Pioneer Trail
Association and which considers
the marking of the pioneer routes
Its personal field. This organization
appears to be short on history but
long on politics and so we were
Involved In a battle over whether
the proper name of the emigrant
road was either "The Southern
Route," or "The Applegate Trail."
It was a bitter battle between
the political minded Pioneer Trails
Association ana tne Historians oi
Uie state of Oregon who served
as the advisory committee to the
Highway Department upon matters
of historical interest. The historians
pointed out that the term "The
Southern Route" was the historical
ly accurate name (or the emigrant
road and that "The Applegate
Trail" terminology was merely a
popular synonym. So the battle
went luriously on and on with no
sign of compromise and the High
way Department appa r e n 1 1 y
washed its hands of the entire
project.
Now as far as this column Is
concerned the name of the trail
is of lesser Importance than the
fact that the old locations are fast
becoming lost and consequently it
would be well for the Highway De
partment to reconsider this project
in view of the great amount ol
interest it would create In the
disappearing emigrant trails of
the region. There is no law staling
the fact that both names for this
important road should not appear
upon the markers. In the matter
of historical accuracy, both names
should be used "The Southern
Route Applegate Trail."
It is exceedingly unfortunate that
map makers when they change
names ot place localities do not
retain the old place names as
synonyms. If they did there prob
ably would bo less Juggling names
One amusing incident appears in
Klamath Basin history over the
cnanging aspect oi a name ana
this deals wilh a pioneer horse
raiser who was known by the name
of Nigger Ben.l Nigger Ben ran
horses in the Lava Beds and has
left his name fastened to two
springs in the region, one near
Dry Lake, the other at the south
end of Clear Lake.
For years these springs were
known as Nigger Ben Springs, then
along comes the Forest Service
and we discover this federal agen
cy changes the name of the Clear
Lake Nigger Ben Spring to 'Nig
ger Bend." It is indeed interesting
to see how the addition of one
letter can change the whole mean-
lng of a name and a "bend" is
something a lot different than
"Ben." The federal government.
however, was not completely aatls-
uea with wis change so when the
U.S. Geological Survey completed
Its latest topographic map of the
region, the editors who pass upon
the appropriateness of place names
showing upon the map. shuddered
at that naughty word nigger
and so we now find the name
fashioned to their liking as "Negro
Bend." I wonder if the spirit of
Nigger Ben may not have got a
chuckle even though his name is
lost to posterity
True Picture
Klamath Falls, Oregon (To the
tditori As one of the many Klam
ath Pelican fans present at the foot
ball game In Grants Pass Friday
October Mth, and from which has
resulted the famous ruling of the
OSAA. I would like to submit the
following In the Interest of restor
ing the great game of football to
Its proper perspective as It affects
Klamath Falls, and KUHS. and
particularly the members of the
Pelican team and their coaches.
Seldom have I witnessed any
high school football team that dis
played such a keen spirit and sin
cere will to win as that displayed
by the Pelicans In this contest.
Far more Important than the
score is the fact that our boys
lought an uphill battle from the
opening klckoff to the final horn
without once showing any indica
tion of losing spirit. To me this
is a true measure that they are
gaining me values that football
Is meant to teach. The score ol
the game will always be superfluous
10 me out i win always take pride
in tne tact mat the 1955 Pelicans
were a game, spirited, never-aay-
die team doing their best to up-
noia ine proud name of KUHfc'.
The details of the decision hand
ed tlown by the August ruling bodv
ot the ObAA were insignificant ex
cept that they substantiated the
contidenre and determination ol
the coaches and players that the
Pelicans were right.
10 paraphrase a famous ouola-
Hon, "I would ralher the Pelicans
weie right than that they were
Champions."
it Is particularly unfortunate that
an official's mistake can cause so
much concern and anguish to the
coaches, team, and all' others di
rectly affected.
Far trim ludelna a team bv
iheir district or slale ranking we

and the way tney play the game.

team spirit. No score or official

mar my memory of the season

watching them play.
Let's all focus our viewpoints

may be measured In the develop

I would be proud to be a coach
or player or to have a son a
player on such a team because in
the final analysis they are re.
fleeting those qualities of fair play
and sportsmanship which result In

As long as ihe Pelicans, in any

Itealistic Fantasy
By FRANK TRIPP
It was a realistic fantasy that
ended too soon. It didn't give me
time to ereet all of my friends. I
was mcKeo out of Heaven and my
Immediate fear is that I'll never
get In again.
It came a night when I sadlv
awaited word that a dear nw.
paper friend had passed on. So
tne dream was all about old news
paper pals.
Everybody wanted to know how
things were on earth. It wns like
a man from Mais granting a press
conlerence.
"Postman's holiday." I thouzht.
"Here I am 'mid streets of gold
and the first thing I do Is rush
to a newsroom. Wonder if this real
ly is Heaven?"
Matt Richardson wanted to know
about Jim Olms, the Chinese
laundryrr.an philosopher in his col
umn. "Isn't Jim here?" I asked.
"Haven't seen him yet," said
Mett.
This led to a new appreciation ol
Heaven. It seems that up there
they don't rush around looking
folks up, as I'd planned to do.
There's no hurry; you're there
forever, not Just passing through
on a three score and ten year stop
over. There'll be plenty of time.
Heaven's newspaper office was
a dead ringer for the old Elmlra
Gazette.
There was my old Fay-Shols
typewriter' on a shelf nailed to the
wall; Frank Gannett's cranky OH
ver and Doc Copeland's double
keyboard Smith Premier; both on
those discarded sewing machine
bases. '
How they got Into Heaven after
tne neiuire we wished upon thein
puzzled me, but there they were
and nobody had fixed the cap "I"
that I wore out ballyhooing David
b: Hill s theme song, "I am
Democrat." He owned The Ga
zette before Gannett came along
"Been reading vour atuff." nlDed
Jack Calkins. "You've sure got a
big can I on the machine you're
using now."
In and out walked town char
acters, souses and Jail birds, which
confused me equally. Guess they
were not such bad eggs alter all
Charlie stagg was taking the
wire. As I stood there, over It
came the happy news not to re-!
condition me old Oliver yet; that
my stricken friend would survive
for a long time.
"You're right on top of things.1
I said to Charlie.
'Oh yes," he replied, "this wire
goes straight to Headquarters. We
always know who is coming long
aneaa oi you."
Rossie is doing sports; Coxey
Leyden, politics; Joe Geer is still
borrowing tobacco
"Who is city editor?" I asked
"We don't have any." said Rov
cimenaori.
Then I knew it had to be
Heaven.
Nobody was hurrying to make a
aeaanne. "You see. it's like this,"
exDlained Rov Smith, the rilfthina.
est reporter I ever knew. "Tlierets
no hurry up here.
we go to press when we gel
enough stuff In type. We have no
ads; nobody needs anything. Wc
have no obits; nobody dies. They've
an done mat. we nave no legals,
cause mere are no lawyers here.
(That's what he said).
"We don't rush around looking
up newcomers with a welcome
wagon, "cause they'll always be
right here, and we'll meet 'em
some century."
Roy went on: "With etern tv as
the time clock it's easy in Heaven
to make a pal of everybody; so
we don't get lonesome tor bosom
buddies. We 11 meet sometime."
He looked serious and said. "Bv
the way, how did you get Into
Heaven? Charlie didn't get a flash
about your coming and we rare,
ly get a columnist.
You sneaked In, didn't you?
you didn i pay your passage: no
body grieves for you: nobody miss
es you. You've got to go back and
come in the hard way. You've got
to earn Heaven."
You mean I'm kicked out of
Heaven I"
"Yeah." said Roy. "Thata the
hen of ll."
Then I woke up.

Leonard W. Hall hit this theme in
prepared remarks for a Western
GOP conference at Portland, Ore.,
yesterday. He said
"The philosophy of the President
is me philosophy of the parly; his
record is the platform we will
stond on next year. In 1 that re

the sudden illness of the Presi
dent." When he spoke, however, Hall
left out this reference to the Elsen
hower record and discussed other
matters at greater length.
Hall talked of strengthening the
GOP for what he said would be &
1956 Victory. He told of moves to
add young people to the party, at

Elsenhower's program and lo get
more active volunteer workers.
Secretary of the Interior McKay
told the group of a need to "carry
the fight to every precinct and
county worker In the West, next
year."
McKay sold spending of previous
Democratic administrations had
posed a threat to the nation's free
economy, but that the Elsenhower
administration is succeeding in
cutting down federal outlays.-
