PAGE SIX FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKINS Managing. Editor left Out By BILL JENKINS Tills Is probably the winter that will no down In history as hav ing caused nine comment than nny In recent years. Of course we nil realize that there is no surh thing ss "usual" weather, but this one has fallen into a class of Its own and bids fair to be the most talked of slory of Uie year. Now we fuiti ourselves getting up to mornings that resemble more those of March than of December. The Ice Is gone from the Upper Lake, the ponds in the tules are open In most cases and a few late hanging ducks can be seen pad dling around in a contented man ner. Only a bandltil of days ago the children were Ire skating in shel - terea coves aiong me lane ana now the same spots are open wa ter. It just doesn't figure. All around us there have been terrific storms. Portland has undergone an ex tremely severe attack of silver thaws and slushy snow that piled up traffic. To the south there have been wind storms, rain, hall and everything else you can name. But up here with the exception of a freak early snow storm or two we've been an isolated little Island of comparatively good weather. In fact It's beginning to look like a black Christmas. Along with everything else we've seen the city's street pumpers out washing down the streets, gelling all the sand and gravel scudded off Into the gutters Uiat was spread during our slick season and in gen li hi,,.. ..n n Ihev Molt I ,,i . liar npmiK- All I hope is that tills soil spen In the weather doesn't mean that we're In for winter In May and June again. In case you've heard rumors go ing around about a new club called the NJJJ 1 can enlighten you. It Is merely the annual good inten tion bunch making advance plans. The initials stand for "no joy Juice in January" and we're wllline to bet that the members won't keep this year's resolullons any better than they have those of the past. Hunters note: There are still quite a few birds In the Basin 11 you belong to that hearty and tough breed of sportsman who is willing to go after 'em. What with the combination ot snow and mud it sometimes Tequlres a good deal of tough walking or wading, but if you stick with It you can still fill up on birds. Good ones, too Which, of course, doesn't excuse Die lacl that our duck season was set too late. Jtogii llivrr By KEN McLEOD In til;, comnry a new look Is rapidly gaining ground in the pub lic attitude toward the problems of outdoor recreation, especially as regards lo areas set aside In which tho primary aim of public resource nian.igemciK !-. ..i . -a o '. Granted this movement will curb to some extent the willtiil exploita tion of, many areas by Individuals who like to hide their Indlviriiinl motives behind the broader shield of private enterprise, yet It Is this very movement of prlvnte enter prise that Is giving support to tills new look. Industry in general Is be ginning to become mature in mind and is giving serious study to the dual personality that It must pos sessIts duty to itself and its duty to society. Public recreation is naturally a prob'cin o' socletv, private .ce reation Is the problem of the indi vidual and we have passed the time when the problem of the individual has tleni the dominant factor in the outdoor scene. Once we had vast estates in the choicest ol areas maintained strictly behind locked cates lor the pleasure of a lew. The Old World presents the very height ol this development and when the Old World moved to the New World It brought these traditions along wllh it but the lde;i:; oi an Old World aiistoerncy have found the soil of the New World cckt toward Its develnninnnt nnd this is likewise true with Old Wor'd Ideas ol Industrie! develop ment. Today we lace a problem of pro viding siilficlent room lor the pub lic enliwik-r o ou 'oe" i- ra tion, where can our great masses of people ko and h tree m the out of doors, to touch It only light ly some of the hcntairo that was the experience of their fathers With areas reserved in national parks and national forests there was once a lime when private erill elsm rose strong Hist too much land was being locked up and auay from exploitation of the Individual. How. over ideas grow fast as do prob lems and so we begin lo find that the nitionnl park system is be fouling Inadequate before the great rush ot neoole from the cities t'nu have so miraculously expanded within short distances of many ol them. Otn thoughts now turn to the development or Ihe preservation of other areas that have ihe precious ingredient of recreation, not alt land has this. In tins serach for new areas we come directly to the stream courses of our land and now we begin to realise that every stre-m lipids tremendous potentials to meet this expanding need of the P"bl'c. In tact, the winding course of every stream Is a natural park. Th" Bui-eeii of I.snd Manage mem now comes to oe one ot me , new arrivals upon the scene in thinking abouf reserves for public recreation and wllh mast commend able action 11 now proposes to with draw p strip of lend along the Jtogue River to protect (hat great i sirpama scenic, aesthetic and rerre-1 ational uses for the public.

With the steady pushing forward of roads into this wilder ness It is not too soon ihAt this action has been suggested. The lands being proposed for reserve consist of Oregon and California revested railroad and public do main lands most of which are with in powersite reservations that were made during 1917 and 1926. This column has commented upon the action of removing one of these powersite reservations, the land then filed upon by an Indi vidual under the mining law to the exclusion of the public for rec reation purposes and how this one mineral claim locked up for .

(oiiig Aliroiifl By KATHLEEN WARD On board the M.S. Hlkawa Maru en route from Seattle to Yoko hamaThe prospects of sharing the details of my voyage with those Interested, through the oages of the Herald News, really excites me. Tills ship has followed a northerly ,UlllB '"n U" n senil-clrclc Uito the Gulf of Alaska across Just soulh of Ihe Aleutian group of Islands and Ihe Bering Straits. Needless to say, II has been a far cry from a South Seas cruise, being bolh extremely cold and rough much of the time. It has a capacity of 250 passengers, but there are only 97 on board. However, even with that few pas sengers, we have all the elements that go to make the bizarre and the unusual. tWIth anologles to Adolph Menjou and "His Favorite Story.") There are seven missionaries and their families, representing proles- taut churches and an Italian priest who is returning to ills church In Hong Kong. Most all of these peo ple are answering tneir second and third calls and in many cases even more to the missionary field. One young couple, the Rev. and Mrs, Edward Karnes and their two little sons (whom they Jokingly Introduce as little Japanese boys, both of liiem having been born in Kobe) have been In Klamath Falls several limes as guests of the Klamath Temple and have spoken and shown slides at that church. They proudly announce that "Klamath Temple Is one of our supporting churches." (It's still a small world.) The next predominating group are the wives of servicemen, who arc paying their own expenses to Japan, rather than wait for Army transportation and miss Christmas wllh their husbands. They are a very eager and Impatient group, many of them not having seen their husbands for a year or more. An other Interesting group are the war brides of G.I.'s who are return ing to their homeland to show off the children to their honorable an cestors. These chlldron are quite beautiful with Uie Oriental features predominating, lo a marked degree but with light skins. Then there are five young ex O.I. 'a who have Jusl been discharged stateside, who are rushing back hoping to cut red tape and marry their Japanese sweet hearts. They explain that they arc already married to them by Japan ese laws which are not recognized by our olflcials. One can't help but wonder Just how ail of this blending of Ihe races will eventual ly effect our civilization and lis outcome. We are well protected from a health standpoint for In addition lo the ship's doctor, there are sev eral others aboard with their wives, on pleasure cruises to Jauan and other parts of the world. Also, two trained nurses in the wives of serv icemen group. Then there arc several older Ja-j panese couples who have lived In : mi- .mir.-, in uuiiaoa lor yeais are returning to spend their or Canada for years who mnining days In their homeland. I would spy that we are Just about half and half (Orientals and Cau casian! and we are attending church, playing card1-, came of all sorts, dancing, etc.. and all hav Inc a coed time.

NEW YCItK i.P Thr hand that rocks me cradle Is now reacmng 'out lo rule lhe aiitomooilr. The niolor car in the past has been pretty much a masculine ere-1 atlon, built to appeal to the eve 'and mind of that manly fellow, the Ame:ic: n nusoenn But the great sales lr.aikft day is little Mrs. Moneybags hcr-i self the American wife, who hoards or dispenses the family bundle of scratch. To please her the motor car of the future will be more feminine and don't be sur prised If It ends up with Venetian blinds and lace curtains. A sign of the times is the fact a major car manufacturer has re tained Melame Kanane, me wen known interior desnmer. to outfit a car experimentally "from the woman Doint of view. Mrs. Kahane. who previously had designed everything from men's cufflinks to kitchen cabineis, liom sofas to gas stations, pounced glee fully on the opportunity to femin ize the motor car. She feels deeply that male de signing genius has exhausted itscif on men "s s tl """" o-beeeeceeeeeeepr What happen to the home must happen to the motor car," she said firmly. "The public Is satiated with external gadgets. There has been too much frosting on the cake. "The interior of the car must be made more comfortable. A car imm become more than merely a vehicle for transportation. It must become a kind ol home on wheels." A3 she envisions It this travel ing home will have many of the comforts of the kitchen, boudoir, and livuig room, and even some of the conveniences of the bathroom. "Take the glove compartment of the average automobile," she ssld. "It Is Jusl so much wasted space. It is just a cluttered catch-all, like the attic in an old nouse. "This space can be redesigned to hold a woman's makeup kit, a man's electric razor, shaving lo tion and disposable towels. "1 also see no reason why we can't have the equivalent of a small pullmau sink off the dash board to freshen un while travel ing. It could also provide cold drinking water." Some other suggested improve ments by Mrs. Kahane: A slot under the front scat to hold an umbrella. "A pillow with a zlppered space holding a plastic raincoat you never have a raincoat handy in a car when you really need it. "A space under the right front arm rest to hold a lady's hand bag or a man's portfolio." ( A trav eling bachelor might even find this a handy place to carry his etch ings, it he s really going to make his car a home! ) "A footwarmtr, hair dryer, elec tric heating unit for warming up a cup ot eoliee en route, and a massage machine to eliminate fa tigue while on the road. "A folding stand-up canvas bath house in the storage compartment that will enable a woman to change her clothing in privacy." "Specially designed luggage thai will fit the space in the rear tiunk compartment exactly, thus simp lifying packing." Do these ideas seem revolution ary lo you? They don't to Mrs. Ka hane, who has applied for patents on rome of them. "I'm not riding on cloud No. 7," she said firmly. "If thev are going to sell cars to women, they have to be made more comfortable." Ford Family By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK 11 The Ford fam ily lakes the plunge today. And wiien the nation's richest family owned company becomes a publicly owned corporation there's bound to be some changes made. The Ford family will keep con trol of management.

Arab C'risi.s By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Staff Correspondent Young King Hussein's trouble over his desire to' take Jordan into the Baghdad alliance is just another of the crises that have long beset the Arab countries. Eight Arab nations are sup posed to be united in the Arab League. When that alliance was formed March 22. 1946, It seemed to be a step toward the years long dream of pan-Arabism, which would unite 50 million people. Actually the Arab countries are torn by rivalries which have pre vented any real cooperation. ' The Arab League members are Egypt, Saudi Arabia. Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Yemen and Libya. Both Egypt and Saudi Arabia would like to be dominant in the Arab world. King Saud of Saudi Arabia has i inherited from his father, Ibn 4 Saud, a feud with Jordan and Iraq. Saud. like his father, is bitterly opposed to a recurrent proposal for a "greater Syria" which would unite the blood - related royal houses of Jordan and Iraq with Syria. Syria wants no part of any such union. Lebanon, though a member of the Arab League, does not want to be dominated by it and especially it does not want to be drawn into a war with Israel. The so-called Baghdad Pact was a punishing blow to Arab unity. If a blow were needed. This treaty (or Middle Eastern defense against Communist agree ment was signed Feb. 26 last be tween Turkey and Iraq. Egypt and Saudi Arabia were bitterly angry over this develop ment. It hit at their own ambl lion for Arab leadership and it put Turkey, the most powerful of Middle Eastern nations. Into an Influential position. Since then Pakistan. Iran and Great Britain have joined the al liance and the United States has associated Itself with it. Now Jordan is involved in a se rious internal crisis because King Hussein wants his country to en ter it. In doing that, Hussein would be following the lead of his cousin King Faisal of Iraq. "Ami- colonialists" might sus pect that Britain has played a part in this situation. Both Hussein and Faisal attend ed Harrow, the famous English public school which means it is highly private that num bers Winston Churchill among its more Illustrious pupils. Iraq has long been allied with Britain, and Jordan's Arab legion. Ihe most powerful fighting fo'cr in Ihe Arab world. Is commanded by British General Oltibb Pasha. who Is John Bngot Olubb. He has been in Jordan since li2fi. after fighting there in World War I. and assumed command of ihe legion In 1939. As It happens. Ihe Baghdad Pact has become the strong alliance which the Arab League was sup posed to be. mmIk IIH Klamath Falls. Ore. (To the Edi toii And people of the Klamath Basin.
