Alarm
By BILL JENKINS
I hate to view with alarm but
In these perilous times there
doesn't seem to be any way to
avoid It. The latest Improvement
(so-called) to come from the draft
ing boards of the engineers is an
electronic oven and range which
will do everything from cook a
five pound beef roast In half an
hour to turning out a two layer
cake in six minutes In a cold oven.
But the real threat lies In the
fact that you can put a plate full
of food In the oven, turn It on,
and finish cooking the meal In a
matter of minutes without getting
the plate hot enough to burn your
fingers. In short you Just lay out
a hunk of meat, some beans and
whatever else you want for din
ner on the plate and put It in
the icebox to await the arrival of
the breadwinner. When he shows
up the housewife pops the dish In
the oven, pours the milk, whips
' the dish out of the oven and sets
It out for the starving man to eat.
No delicious aroma of roast beef
wandering around the house, no
crackly potatoes on the side, no
homey ktchen atmosphere. On top
of that no excuse for dinner be
ing late, which will probably miff
a lot of women, and plenty of ex
cuse for hubby to stay for just
one more with the boys at the
club because there isn't any hur
ry to get home In time for dinner.
It'll only take five minutes to fix
anyway.
I can see the downfall of clvlli-
' gallon as we know it today If a
atop Isn't put to these "Improve'
ments" to the homemnker's lot. I
suppose the day will come when
' we'll buy all our meals neatly
laid out on a plate, packaged and
frozen. Then all we'll have to do
Is take off the cover, put 'em In
the oven for a few minutes and
ait down to eat. In time, If this
race to cut out work keeps on,
we'll reach the Inevitable period
of pills when we'll get all our
i nourishment from one small cap
' ule. Toothpick manufacturers will
go broke, Oaylord Hauser will be
out of a Job, the people who
manufacture china will go into
bankruptcy and the California
landscape will be dotted with the
shells of what were once thriving
pottery factories turning out color
ful clay plates for patio dining.
Joe Gcrber, the Portlnnd advertls
lg man who makes the finest
1 autves tn the world In his Legen
dary Bladcs.wm have to Ilnd
other uses for his tempered steel
because we'll no longer need
knives. The silversmiths who turn
' out our fine knives, forks and
spoons will have to turn li mak
ing costume Jewelry and salt and
pepper shakers will be a tlilnur of
me pant except for use In theaters
to season the popcorn. Architects
will have to scrap all their present
plans and theories because we'll
no longer need kitchens and
there'll be no need for providing
space for a deep freeze or a siove.
In short the whole thing will go
to smash and eventually people
will Just plain come unRlued at
the seams aud turn Inti a lost
race.
In fact, I'm so discouraged about
the whole thing I'm going Imme
and tear Into meat of sour
dough biscuits, steak and baked
potatoes. With wild rice on the
side. Cooked on an old fashioned
electrlo stove.
You III fill Hoard
By DEB ADDISON
The 500 and some members of
the Klamath County Chamber of
Commerce Inst week elected five
of their fellows to help direct the
affairs of the organization for the
next three years.
It's Interesting lo see that they
all are young men. That's a con
tinuation ol a trend of the past
few years. "Old Timers" of the
present board of directors are
Warren Bcnnet, Charlie Mack,
Glenn Bowen and yours truly.
Three of the new board mem
bers are either native sons or
have lived here practically all
their lives. Thoy are Dick Galla
gher, of East Side Electric; Karl
Dehllnger. tlie farmer and potato
man; and Harry Molutore. who
with his brother. Cliff, operates
Moisture's.
The "newcomers" are Bob Mest,
auto dealer lor several years
here; and Oram Cosgrove. who Is
associated with Peyton and Com
pany, Present chamber by-laws re
quire the retirement ol a director
after serving a three year term.
It should be explained that Harry
Molatoro and Karl Dehllnger have
been directors this year throuHh
appomtment to fill unexpired
terms that were open from resig
nation. Being eligible for full
terms, each was nominated and
elected by the members.
These live men complete a IS
member board. Others are Csr
rol Howe. Jim Patterson, Alice
Vitus, John Howard and Walt
Mclntyre who have two years to
go, and Glenn Bowen. Bill Ganong
Jr., Bob Veatch, Ernie Taylor and
Bob Henry who will retire at the
end of 1D56.
It's a fine board of directors.
The county chamber Is in good
Jftinds and the community should
'benefit from their efforts In the
coming years.
Ihe outlook of the young direr
tors of this board was expressed
In a few words by Dick Gallagher
the other day: "Gee, It's great
to be living In Klamath -light
now."
A word should be said for those
nominees who came In "close sec
onds." They have been working fur
their community and you can ex

IKoad Obstacle
By MAX WAUCHOPE
As it stands today the accep
tance of the Oregon State High
way Commission's plan for the
building of five miles of road
from Lake of the Woods to the
Jackson County line is all that
Is needed to ensure an eventually
new nil-weather route Between
Klamath Falls and Medford.
Since Klamath County has al
ready paved about seven miles of
the road from Rocky point junc
ilon to the Lake of the Woods and
the state has built a new high
way from Klamath Falis to the
Rocky Point Junction it would
seem logical that every effort be
made to complete the link witn
(he five mile portion to the Jack-
son County line.
The highway is now merely a
deadend tourist route to Lake of
the Woods from Klamath Fall?. If
completed, it would benefit all the
residents of both counties Immeas
urably, j
The Klamath County Court went
on record again Wednesday as op
posed to the state's plan for the
completion of this all - weather
highway link between the two
counties.
Their opposition was voiced dur
ing a meeting of the court with
two county commissioners from
Medford, Chester A. Wendt and
L. G. Northlund, and Jackson
County Engineer Paul Rynnlng.
The state's plan calls for the
counties to pay 60 per cent of the
cost from their federal aid sec
ondary road funds, provide rights
of way and maintenance. The
state would pay 40 per cent qf the
construction costs.
Jackson County has indicated
its acceptance of this plan and
has said it will allocate Its federal
aid secondary road funds for eight
years to the protect.
To complete this vital highway
link Jackson County would be re'
sponsible for constructing approx
imately 13 miles from McAllister
Springs to the Klamath Countv
line. Klamath's new portion would
be the five miles from Lake of
the Woods to the counties' line
The four Oregon counties most
vitally Interested In the route are
Lake, Klamath, Jackson and Jo
sephine In 1950 the combined pop
ulation of these counties was 113,
esi. The state estimated that as
of July 1, 1054, the population of
these counties had grown to 144,
400. All four counties have urged
(lie building of a better east-west
highway since 1048.
Besides this normal population
growth the area Involved has rev
eral other stimuli looming in the
future which will boost the econo
my of the counties and make the
need for a better connecting high
way even more pressing.
m Klamath Countv the building
of the U.S. Air Force's Jet Inter
ceptor oase at Klamath Falls and
the possible building of several
new dams on the Klamath River
by the California Oregon Power
Co. will certainly have an effect
on the road needs.
The Talent Irrigation program.
with (22 million to be spent over a
fix-year period, will enlarge the
economy of Jackson County.
wun mese. and other ma or
projects, thousands of new citi
zens will establish their homes In
the four counties.
Many segments of the ajiicul.
tural and business life of the Klam.
ath Basin also would benetit by
a better route lo the Rosue Ulv.
er Valley.
The flatter, more easily driven
road would facilitate the hnitnr
of hav. potatoes, etc.. to the val
ley points and bevond. It would
mean a readily accessible avenue
for the flow of all types of trade
and commerce, and tourist travel.
The refusal of the Klamath Conn.
ty Court lo accept the state's plan
Is oiu of the main obstacles to
the final go-ahead for the road
building. It seems to this writer
that every possible channel of ac
tion which might mean the ulti
mate construction of the route
should be explored.
Trail .tlni'ktw's
By KEN McLEOD
Let us return again to this sub
ject of marking historical spots
because It Is one that requires
considerable attention, within the
next couple of decades we are
going to be faced with a number
of centennials that mark decisive
events In our historical develop,
mem. These centennials will once
again focus attention upon definite
locations where stirring events
took place one hundred years be
lore. Here In the great Klamath Ba
sin we have observed one centen
nial In the opening of the South
ern Route . Applrgate Trail but
the community has been lax In
deed in preparing for other events
tha'. come ol nue when the inn
year cycle has run us course.
These events need not be world
wide stirring Interest but they are
important to us for thev are the
stopping atones by which our
community life has come Into be
ing. The Klamath Basin muffed com
pletely the centennial of the dm-
covery of Crater Lake In 1853.
True we did recognire through ouri
newspaper this Important event
but it baidly made a stir other!
than mildly casual passing inter
est. The observance of centennials
becomes a prominent force In re
counting the history of our area. In
a few short years we will be faced
with another milestone in history
the vear 1963 which will mark the
turning of 100 years the building of
Foil Klamath. No doubt we will
have a centennial celebration to
mark our recognition of that event
it will be Fort Klamath's day to
glory.
Klamath Falls will have Its
.-hare of lime-light In 1967 with the
founding of Linkvllle in 1863 by
George Nurse. No doubt there will
be a celebration in Klamath Falls
at that time but where is the Link
vllle story told to the traveling
public? Aside from the prominent
events that punctuate the histori
cal development of the area there
a the body ol History and the slnv
pie every year events that we
should now be recognizing for this
:s ihe main meat and flesh of his
torical development. To recognize
these events Is slmpl: all that Is
required Is suitable, historically
accurate place markers.
The point most stressed by stu
dents of history today is the fact
that these places of historical in
terest should be marked now
and not wait for a couple of dec
ades when all trace of location is
lost. Indian village 3ites, homes of
early day pioneers, roads, trails,
places where important events oc
curred are things that all should
be marked and these are items of
community interest that should be
snared in ny an organizations not
Just by a mere handful of people
who struggle to preserve the his
tory of the community.
as an Illustration, let us take
1863, the year Colonel C. S. Drew
opened the Rancheree Trail while
building Fort Klamath Is there
any markers along he Rancheree
Trail? Perhaps It is condisered
unimportant and I doubt if there
Is one in a thousand who live in
the Klamath Basin who have even
heard the name or know where the
trail leads. Fort Klamath has a
marker, a bronze plate to mark a
spot upon the highway but nothing
to tell the story to the wayfarer
who is a stranger In our midst.
We assume that every person In
the world knows what Fort Klam
ath was.
This column has called attention
to the fact that the Southern Route
-Applegate Troll la not told to those
who pass upon our highways. Then
there is the Tichnor Road further
south In Modoc and Siskiyou, the
Forest Service has marked the
Tichnor Road in spots In Modoc
but In the area where It skirts
the Modoc Lave Beds the trail is
practically lost over much of Its
length and there are not markers
along the trail to tell the storv of
mat rcaa wntcn was an important
development of the early pioneer
day settlement of the State of Jef
ferson. Untold Is the story of the Cali
fornia Trail leading southward
from Tuie Lake and skirting the
Modoc Lava Beds on the cast, it
too has Its colorful history worthy
of being retold.
Eventually we will have a cen
tennial of the battle of the Modoc
War, here, fortunately the visitor
f'nds the story told fairly well.
Ihe National Park Service, how
ever, should have some red ears
for their Indiscriminate changing
of place names to satisfy some
unknown whim. Probablv the
greatest offense to historical ac
curacy was Ihe placing of the
name Hardin Butte upon Oiavelly
Hill of Modoc War fame the site
of the wnr.it disaster that overtook
the American Army In the Modoc
War, the loss of Thomas and his
company. If the name of the butte
had to be changed for some devi
ous reason why attach the name
of a man upon It who had nothing
to do with the Thomas disaster?
if anyone deserved recognition
to have his name placed upon the
butte It was surely the man who
lost his life there.
Trail markers Indeed needed to
tell th story of our development
to those who are Interested enough
to pause and r 6ad. Markers should
be specific and should be treated
with some degree of respect as to
their location. 1 think that the
Hlehnay Department should be
awarded the good old Brown
Derby and dumb action for their
treatment of the Denny Creek
marker on the Lake of the Woods
highway that assuredly Is not
the way to tell history.

Payments will be made shortly
after the anniversary date of each

ending hi December 1956.
Basic factors In the 1956 divi

Nicholson said. "Early diagnosis
and prompt treatment may ward
off serious complications."
Although Klamath County has
only participated during the past
two years, this is the eighth na
tional Diabetes Week, sponsored
by the American Diabetes Asso
ciation. The association estimates
that there are about 1 million
persons in the United States who
have diabetes and do not know it.
This is almost as large a group
as the known cases, the associa
tion said.
Nicholson, director of laborator
ies for the Klamath Falls hospi
tals, said that last year's drive
turned up at least two persons
who did not know that they had
diabetes.
According to Christerson, diabe
tes mostly strikes persons over
40, but that there ire a great
many cases in persons under 40.
In fact, he said, there are a large
number of children who have the
disease.
He said that the disease occurs
when the pancreas does not pro
duce sufficient Insulin to enable
the body to utilize all the sugar
taken in the form of food. Quite
frequently, if the disease Is not
detected, serious complications
such as heart trouble will develop,
he said.
Persons desiring information
concerning the testing procedure
are asked to telephone any of the
following Klamath Falls numbers:
6401, 3501 and 2-2591 extension 18.
Tun? Clipper
Men Rescued
ASTORIA W Thirteen Mexican
tuna fishermen dramatically res
cued from a doomed clipper on
storm-tossed ocean waters, arrived
here Saturday.
The men were brought into port
by the Coast Guard cutter Yocona.
which rescued them Friday night
Just before their 128-foot tuna boat
Ocean Pride sank 50 miles off
Cape Lookout on the North Oregon
coast.
It appeared for a time that they
would go down before help ar
rived, and "we spent three hours
on our knees praying," said the
skipper, Julio Valello, San Diego,
The trouble started early Friday
with a small leak, he said. They
stopped to repair It and messaged
for help, although they believed
they were In no danger.
Then big waves began beating
over the craft, which was carry
ing 290 tons of tuna. The seas
broke through bait boxes on the
stern and water surged through
into the shaft alley.
As their predicament beoame
more desperate, Valello said, they
gathered their valuables, put them
aboard a 16-foot dinghy and cut the
dinghy adrift.
Finally the cutter arrived and
took the clipper in tow. But it be
gun sinking in a short time and
30 hours after the clipper's troubles
began the fishermen were taken
aboard the Yocona.

al senators on the committee were
not necessarily responsible for
statements it contains, asserted:
The left wing Democrats have
opened the campalKn of 1956 with
almost, simultaneously by Alser
Hiss and Dean Acheson. . ,i. The
appearance of the articles suggests
that the two friends are together
again. Their efforts are a clear
sjgnal that a determined effort will
be made to capture the Democrat
ic nomination for a left winger."
Neither Acheson nor Hiss could
be reached Immediately for com
ment. Acheson was Secretary of State
In the Democratic administration
of former President Harry S. Tru
man. Hiss, a former State Depart
ment employe, served a federal
prison sentence after his convic
tion of perjury for denying he ever
passed government . secrets to a
Communist spy ring.
The memo referred to an article
by Acheson In the November Issue
of Harper's magazine and a piece
by Hiss in the current edition of
Pocketbook magazine. Both deal
with foreign policy.
Acheson wrote that the Demo
crats are better able to manage
foreign affairs than are the Repub
licans. He also claimed the Demo
crats are more forward looking in
mis neia.
In his article. Hiss disputed con
tentions by some GOP leaders that
concessions given to the Russians
at the 1945 Yalta conference of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
British Prime Minister Churchill
and Soviet Premier Stalin "result.
ed In Soviet leadership in Eastern
turope-' and the Communist vic
tory in China.
Butler told his college audience
the Republican party used
'smear" tactics against Demo-

He said "the combination of a
strong Democratic trend and a
badly split Republican party can
conceivably drive a now desper
ate Republican party to the same
kind of low level campaigning" In
