Of this total $11 million has been allocated for con tinuance of the city's oft street parking program. Tho funds would provide for four more garages and ore parking plaza. It will be Interesting to see now the vole turns out. And how the parking situation works out if and when tne necessary tunas are vol' ed. Parking Is probably today's num ber one civic headache. No matter whether you live In one of the smaller cities such as Klamath Falls or whether" you are In a , metropolitan area ranging any where In size from San Francisco to New York City or Los Angeles All of us have had our troubles when It comes to getting the family bus Into the shopping areu, parking It and then getting out again be fore the windshield Is plastered solid with overtime parking tags The situation, as It stands to day, promises to get worse before It can get any better. For any num ber of simple reasons. Downtown parking areas are hard to come by because the property values are already higher than a cat's back and seemingly going up by the minute. Relatively few mer chants or businessmen have been convinced thu't the addition of park ing areas Is a profitable venture, even were they able to acquire the necessary land. Space In the old. well established business dis tricts Is also at a premium and in most cases only multiple story garages can be utilized. These cost huge sums to build and getting your investment back Is a slow process. As well as being rl;ky. Thai's why so many people have moved to the outskirts where they can buy sufficient Innd to provide customer parking. That's also the reason for the various shuttle serv ices In some cities, the shopping bus systems and others. I very much doubt If a bond Issue for off street parking would make the grade ln'rClamath Falls. Itmay In San Francisco because the businessmen of tho downtown urea realize thai they have reached the ultimate If Uiey are to go with their present locations. There Just Isn't enough room to jam In even one more car. If you doubt this 1 challenge you to try and park u cur any lime niter 10 in the morning at the Union. Square ga rage In San Francisco. 8o, the mer chant knows that If he Is to at tract new customers and compete with the fringe area centers he's got to provide parking. In this buoyant economy of ours no one wants to ride a ous any more. He wants to drive his own car. The husband drives his to work and his wile follows him later with hers to do tno family shopping. And somewhere you have to scare up the necessary room to park bolh of (hem. Yep, it will be highly Interesting 1o see If the citizens of the city by the golden gate go for the sys tem. And If It alleviates tho situa tion when and if the garages are built. I might suggest that It would do us no harm up here to look at the situation carefully, remember ing the provisions granted by law for taxing districts. Another Item tn the news says that nine Western states have signed an agreement under which they would tax each other's trans port trucks on the basis of the mile age they travel. To date these states have been operating under a reciprocity agreement which al lowed out-of-state trucks to operate without payment of any fees. Earl Newbry. our secretary o state, predicts that wlthm two years tile plan will become uallniiwidc. I'll go Earl one beller and pre dict that within ten years you'll aee a state tax Imposed on passen gers cars front other slates. In eifect It will be like going back to the depression d iys practice ol California in slopping every vehicle that crossed the line and Issuing a permit to the out-ot-stater. 1 think that in the future crossing a stale bolder will be Just about like crossing into Mexlro or Canada now. You'll pull Into the station, have your car checked tor illegal items such as vegetables, liquor, fruit, pels, livestock, evil-smelling tweed suits and anylhlng else that particular siule wishes to keep out- aiclo its luir borders, When you leave mat aiaie you'll slop at nnolh er station have your card validated. pay tuxes on the mileage driven wllhln the borders ol the slate, and go on your wny leu leet in the next state's slallon, where the Whole process will bo repeated. In time we'll Just have to start over and build new roads on ton of the stalled cars on our htuhwavs. But that'll take money and 11 has iq be raised somehow. What bet ter way than this tax on driving'' And w here you could I mil a belter way of slowing down the last utiv- era I wouum l know. Political lot By MAX WAUCHOPE The Klamath County Democratic Central Committee stole a march on the Democrats, and the Repub licans, over the state Friday night by having a stellar attraction, Sen ator Humphrey IDem., Mtnuesctai, as the main speaker at their pro 1956 campaign klckoff dinner meet Ing. The Democratic senate lender blasted the Elsenhower administra tion's laim policies and eulogized the congressional record of Sena lor Morse, who was also in at tendance at the rally. Senator Morse, now a registered Democrat, Is up for reelection to the Senate post he was elected to In 1950 as a Republican. Tlie Klamath County Republican Club will launch Its vote oflcnsive tonight with a dinner meeting fea turing State Senator Gene L. Brown of Grants Pass as the fea tured speaker. With these two important politi cal gatherings the political pot In Klamath County Is beginning to simmer belors coming to the boll in 1950. Senator Humphrey leveled' tho charge Friday that the Eisenhower administration's farm program, un der Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, Is "Russianizing" the America, l farmer by allowing the formation of big farming combines which have taken over large tracts of farm land; supposedly to the exclusion of the small operator. We respect the senator from Minnesota's fine record In Con gress and believe him to be a sin cere and hard working monitor of that body. However, we fall to seo how ho arrived at the term "Rus sianize." (Even if it docs make a fine political, catch-word.) Possibly the senator drew the simile from the large collective farms which the Russians have made the mainstay of their farm production. Ol course, on these farms tne workers are regimented and told where to work and what to do and are unable to leave If dlssatufled with their lot. The average Ameri can iarm worker, whether he works for wages on a small farm or on one of the large "Russian ized" American farms, can leave his Job whenever he so desires. In the course of his address Sen ator Humphrey alto managed a lew lashes at that, favorite whip ping boy ot U.S. politicians "Big business. ' In any event, the 1058 campaign promises to be a lively one In Ore gon, and over tne nation, with the controversial Senator Morse striv ing to retain his seat while the Oregon Republicans are planning an all-out drive to unseat the for mer GOP state standard bearer. The Republicans have indicated they will be fighting to retain the voles of the millions of Independent voters who .supported Elsenhower m the 11152 race. Tho OOP lenders are working for the support ot these volors for national and state candidates. From now on we can expect plenty of political meetings on both sides ot the Icncc.

JORDAN, M.D. A young woman of 28 with two children says that she Is constant ly fatigued. Although she has not lost any weight and the doctor can not find anything spcclllcullv wrong she Just drags herself around and must always retire ear ly. She would like any suggestions as she Is al her "wits end." This question of chronic fatigue Is a difficult one. It It comes early in life, as it has to this young mother, when there are many calls on the strength, It can be a pretty serious matter. It Is true, ot course. Uiat most ot us get overtired from time to lime. This can be ascribed to pot enough sleep, overdoing ot some kind, or bad dietary habits and can usually be remedied by more sleep, a vacation, or some similar simple means. When a physical cause for fa tigue cannot be found, the simple steps should be taken first. One should experiment with trying to find the proper balance between work, rccrerfllon, and sleep. When the (aligned person Is employed. however, change of occupation does net olten appear to be suc cessful. One of the things that many of us have to learn Is how to relax when we have the chance. This Is principally a problem of mental training. The consistent use of a balanced diet with plenty of vitamins may be helpful since almost undoubted ly some problems of fatigue are simply the result of Improper eat ing habits. It Is usually unvl.se. however, to try to combat a tired feeling by Ihe use of stimulating drugs, such as colfee. since tlie let-down after the ellect of the drug has worked oil may be worse than the original iuiigiie. Also all stimulating drugs In large quantities may be harm ful. Many who complain of bring la tlRiicd cannot Identity the cause Di scern to remedy II by such simple methods. A true disease Is some times at fault. For example, an anemia often shows up by lack of pep. Diabetes, heart disease, low blood pressure, and low melabol Ism are anions Ihe disorders which nmy be discovered. Those who are abnormally tired should first review and study tlie kind of III they are leading to make sure that they cannot solve Ihe problem themselves. II thts cannot be done quickly then the advice of a pliysician is Indicated. By KEN McLEOD The Fourth Annual Symposium of the Historical Societies of North ern California and Southern Ore gon was held the past weekend In Weavervllle, California. More thin 90 people Interested In the area were In attendance. Of the Ore gon Historical Sociclies. however, only Klamath County had repre sentation at the meeting. The peo ple of Ihe Rogue River Valley apparently are too busy to attend such meetings, or their Interest In the historical development of the region is merely superficial. There were two Inspiring talks given during the symposium, the first on Friday evening by the grand old man of California his tory, Dr. Rockwell D. Hunt, whom the California Legislature has of ficially designated as "Mr. Cali fornia." Dr. Hunt is president of the Conference of California His torical Societies. The second talk wns given on Saturday by Mr. Ralph H. Cross whose topic was "Stage Stations and Early Hotels." The two talks carried the basic theme of the symposium demon strating how students of our early day development and our historical societies should function in their efforts to preserve knowledge of our historical development.. With few words and utmost clar ity Dr. Hunt sketched the history ol California from the time of its discovery to the present, pointing out the definite segments Into which that history Is broken. First the Indian, then the occupation by Spain, to be followed by the Mexi can period and finally the coming of the American. The theme stressed by Dr. Hunt was one of newer perspectives In history. Pointing to the old con cept that California has always been a land of superlatives, the biggest trees, the highest moun tain, the lowest depth and a coun try of most colorful historic de velopment. Speaking on the subject of historical development Hunt pointed to tlie fact thai It Is the "arcadian" period of California life that has been most stressed by writers, the period of Mexican occupation after the New World broke its ties to Spain. This was the period of the great ranches and the old ranch life, the ranchos with their large retinues of mixed breeds and Indian servants. Yet in all of California history this color ful "arcadian" period was very short, at most a couple of decades In length. Almost with the beginning of lite colorful rancho period the stage was being set for a change to a new scene for the American was coming to this golden land press ing outward from tlie United States in a peacclul penetration of the continent. In the peaceful Calllornla land there was little peace in politics since in the short "arcadian" period it had 12 gov ernments. The lazy days of California ranch life fell bofo'e tlie dynamic life brought inlo the country by the Americans with tlie curtain being drawn down on this "arcadian" period by the discovery of gold, the year 1850 became "the year of destiny." As Dr. Hunt pointed out, It was not so much the discovery of gold that made this period so dynamic but Ihe question of whether Cali fornia should enter the Union as a "free" state thus breaking the bal ance of power between the states of the North and the South for when California entered the Union It became the 16th, "free" state the Union then was composed of 16 "free" and 15 slave states. It was Calllornla that broke the bal ance of power between the North and tlie South. There was now no hope ot turning bnck because thc South had no new state to balance the power of California and only a civil war could finally solve the Issue. The point Dr. Hunt wished most to stiess was this proper perspec tive of history since no matter how glamorous the short span of California's "arcadian" existence may have been and though It has captured the attention of writers and historians largely to the ex clusion of everything else, proper perspective shows that the true history ot Uie western country is that of American occupation, a period two or three times as great as all the others. "Most Calllornla history." stated Hunt, "dwells upon certain big things and personalities in the great westward movement . , , yet the neglected unknown pioneer has an equally Important place If we are to be true to that perspec tive." Speaking bf the neglected points In history Dr. Hunt singled out tlie women pioneers, whose courage and faith to brave hard ship and danger to go tn a strange laud and to which "we have not paid enough attention." "Far awav points and renters like this ( Weavervllle I are not mentioned . . . old mining camps have brrn neglected by historians," Dr. Hunt llu-n went on to point out that this situation can be cor rected and then directly charging his audience-Vyou, and you can bring about this correction of per spective. " Thus It tails upon the shoulders of the local historical societies to actively work In saving the his tory of their arras, the names of thrir pioneers, what they did and how they livrd. Every Individual Is Important not Just those ot con troversy or who followed glamor ous careers. To obtain the proper perspective that can be passed down to posterity the lives of evrry Individual involved m this ureal moiement are equally important. Slaughter Klamath Falls, Oregon (To the Editor) News Item Calllornla ir. sell ing some 3.000 tags to kill doc and faun In Northern California. Mostly In Modoc County Decem ber 11 to 16. They should have waited till January or Februnry In the deep snow, that would have made the slaughter easier. These are our Oregon deer, on their win ter range. Seems that the gome Commissions of both stales are bent upon exterminating the en tire Mule trail Deer herd. In open season (7 days) here, there was quite a slaughter I saw one family from Oranta Pass. There was father, mother, two sons, and a daughter all had doe tags and 5 does. They said they needed them for their two deep freezers. They slaughtered the buffalo for his hide, now they are harvesting the deer for the deep freeze. One California hunter braggd that he had to kill 9 deer before he found "one to suit." I don't know how many were harvested, but (thou sands were left In the woods to rot. And yet they pose as exponents oi conservation of wild lite. It is a laugh or cry,? If you deer hunters don't wke up Just as well give your deer guns away as there won't be any deer left to shoot. C. J. Ilcis Box 512 Auto.s Set Fashion By HAL' BOYLE NEW YORK ifl Does your fountain pen match the upholstery oi your new motor car? Is your underwear the same color as your front fender? If not, perhaps you are falling benind in the race to be fashion able. The latest tiD from the world oi high style is that you should dress so as to please your automobile, or at least to conform to its colors. This cozy idea originated in the fertile brain of one Al Rubin while stuck hi a traffic Jam in New Jer sey on his way back from a resort. While wailing for the long line of cars to get untangled Hubin. a glove manufacturer, mulled over Ihe problem of turning out some thing new and dlfferenl in driving gloves. Suddenly the t u 0 u g h I clashed Into his mind: "Why not match the gloves to tne car.' The idea wos tried out and proved so successful that now program has been launched to kev all clothing and clothing accessor ies to me color oi me new lsec cars. This latest line of auto apparel culled car-mates consists of 40 wardrobe Items ranging from neck- lies to wallets. It is sponsored by 27 manufacturers and the Ford Motor Co. Presumably tlie manufacturers of oilier cars such as Cadillacs, Bulcks, Packards and Studcbakers hnvo adopted a let's-wait-ond-sce attitude on this novel merchan dising stunt. It does raise all kinds of inter esting possibilities. When we set about matching our wardrobes with the new two-tone automobiles practically anything can happen and probaby will. tne avorage man naturally doesn't want his new motor cur to get an inferiority complex. So he won t mind loo mucn wearing co lonial white and fiesta red under wear If, by thus bccom.ng color wedded to ills car, it really makes the car leet better. Everybody likes to ride in a happy and con tended vehicle. But what If his wife insists she feels it necessary to dye her hair colonial while and fiesta red Jusi so she can merger her personality better Willi the family automobile? A man can love a while-haired wife. He can love a red-haired wife. But can any man go on tcel Ing romantic about a rcd-and-whlte haired wife? There Is also the question of. ex pense. Can the average man af ford to Junk his family's entire wardrobe and buy complete new outfits for them everytlme he buj a new car? Suppose he decides It'll be cheaper year alter year merely to purchase fresh wardrobes for the family and Just slap a matching new coat of paint on the old bus. What'll that do to the market for new cars? And what about pajamas? It Is suggested that men's pajamas should also match their automo bile. Here Is where I frel sine the average rllizen will draw the line If the day ever comes when I have to pick my pajamas merely to please t.ie idle whims of a stvpe snooly automobile well, I'll walk to work first. The motor car mav rule garage and highway, but It will kindly keep its radiator out ot the na tion a boudoirs. If motor cars arc so darn smart why can't they go oul and find their own parking places?
