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

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.

quite a few birds In the Basin 11
you belong to that hearty and tough
breed of sportsman who is willing

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

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

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

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

A sign of the times is the fact
a major car manufacturer has re

Mrs. Kahane. who previously had

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

es. 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.

Xmas Deaths
Predicted
CHICAGO I The National Safe
ty Council today estimated Ho
Americans will be killed in traffic
accidents during the long Christ
mas holiday period. That number
of deaths would set a new record.
The holiday period will begin at
6' p.m. (local time) Friday and
end at midnight Monday.
Associated Press files show that
the traffic death record for any
holiday period 558 was set
during the four-day Christmas hoi
iday In 1952.
The council's figures show that
Dec. 24 usually Is the most deadly
day of the year because of Christ
inas Eve festivities and heavy
travel to family gatherings.
But the council also said the
risk will be great on the afternoon
and evening of Friday, the 23rd,
when many motorists will make
trips.
