He's never hunted lions in Afri ca, stalked the mighty moose in the Canadian Rockies or swum the English Channel. He hasn't been involved in a holdup or a shooting affray and the only vio lence he experienced was being Jostled in a crowd. But Senator Boivin through -what might be termed a prosaic career, has had Just as many thrills as any of your swashbuckling, derring-do headline makers.

Once, however, It appeared that Boivin was going to become in volved in some real cloak and dag ger enterprises. In 1943, after serving two and a half terms in the Oregon Legislature as repre sentative' from Klamath County, he resigned that post and became an investigator for the Department of Justice. When he entered the government service, the future senator believed he might get in on some big-time criminal investigations, such as running down kidnapers and so forth. Instead, he was assigned to investigate land frauds which re quired legal training and ability to do a lot of - book work. He was successful in recovering $100,000 for the government. BORN IN ASHLAND Senator Boivin was born in Ash Innd. Februarv 7. 1904. When he was two years old, his family moved to Klamath Falls. The eld' er Boivin was in the wholesale nlumbine and mill supply business. One of young Harry's earliest recollections concerned a trip he took in 1907 from Klamath Falls to Portland.

T. dam age are looking for stiffer strawed strains to strengthen Hannchen barley against wind damage. The plants are being grown on the University's Tulelake Field Station. This is the major grow ing area in California for the Hann chen variety. The scientists are using seed stocks from irradiated barley. By doing this they hope to shorten the time necessary to develop stronger Hannchen. X-ray bombardments speed up changes In the plants. The re searchers are using X-ray and this may shorten the time when the Improved variety will be ready for farmers. Several stiff strawed plants were selected from this year's test plots for planting next spring. From next year's crop, they hope to obtain" individuals to cross back to Hannchen.

She had just seen the Lenox China that RICKTS JEWELERS, 700 Main, is featuring for that Thanksgiving table. She especially liked the Westwind pattern. It has simple lines and a splash ef "Westwind" blown leaves in autumn colors decor ates the white background. It's perfeot fer Thanksgiving and all year 'round, k 6-pieoe plaee setting sells for only $18.95. She alse has her eye on a set ef Towle sterling in the mew "Southwind." pattern.

Seme meal fer .- enly $1.45. Got fine serviee frem a eute waitress named Jean. Tfith the streets filled with anew, a lot ef people who work down town will be taking advantage ef the ELITE'S daily special in stead ef risking a trip home on these slippery streets. 1 Slipped into the'ELITE'S "Baok Room" and Jimmie Short, the man behind the bar, fixed me a "warmer-upper" that really hit the spot. Bob Wilson, the new owner. Just moved here from Saa Jese and it was a swell ohanoe te get aoquainted with him. Bob is a "real jee" and he's making a let ef friends by serving goed food and refreshments. ' ' . With all the moving, playing in the enow and what-have-you, the kids get a couple ef terrifio colds. ; k trip te the deotor and another step at the prescription oeunter at MEAD'S DRUG STORK, 530 Main, fixed them up im a jiffy. I was really surprised at the speedy service we get at MEAD'S. Usually, it takes quite a while te get a prescription filled, but it wasn't a minute from the time I handed Pete Mead that sorap ef paper until he was back with a carefully compound ed prescription... and the best thing was it didn't cost muohi . KLAMATH FLOWER SHOP sent us a big bouquet through the Wel come Wagon when we first moved to town. I stopped in to thank Charlie Mack, the owner, and found him working on centerpieces fer the big Thanksgiving dinners coming up. He has out pom. poms, mums, and detens of other blooms ready te go... from $2 on up. Alse saw some smart artificial oenterpieoes In fall flowers nuts, and berries that sell for $2 to $7.60. Lydia says she'll get one of these and use it this year, next year, and the year after that. That's what I call a bargain. Got a new ouff link and tie clasp set yesterday at BEACHS JEWELERS, 834 Main. They're shopped like miniture antique oars. Saved a buck-fifty on the set, beoause right now BEACHS are hav ing a big sale on most all their items. These cuff link and olasp sets (by Anson) are all marked down at least 20$. Every kind of design you oan think of.... Masonio emblems, sports settings and a set of pink elephants! (fine fer some Republican politician) ,, Donnie and Cindy have been pestering me for a rough-house before they go to bed, so I'd better cut this thing eff.
