Editor 1 MONTH I l.w 1 Serving Southern Oregon And Northern California 1 year ...JZZ $ij!oo Here nnd Thorn By BILL JENKINS To date haven't heard of any one getting or giving a mink hemmed slip lor Christmas. But Bob DeRosier called up to say that his Christinas stocking con tained a mink bow tie and a set ol mink cuff links. II this sort ol thing keeps on the day of the mountain trappers Is liable to come back. Rus-sell Rceck, Jr., the lad who won the cup tor being the cham pion porkle slayer last year, dropped In to see us the other day sporting his newest prize, r porky gun coniriouiea oy wiu in appreciation of his work In rid ding the woods of nearly 300 of the msky tree killers. A nice gesture and really ap preciated. Good Idea, too, since much of Russell's activities were conducted on WTC land. I sincerely hope that the porcu pine eradication program will be carried on next year at an ac celerated pace. It might sound like a drop in the bucket, but It all mounts up and every porky killed means a few more trees that will probably reach maturity and turn into saw logs or pulp. There are a lot of things I'd like to know about automobiles, like how to keep 'em running and all that. But outside the mechanical end ol things I'd like it explained to me why it Is that if there Is a drip from the dashboard It is always right over the driver's foot? Seems to hold true of all makes and models that the pesky ' drops of water fall right on your ankle and you can't move your foot out of the way without taking It off the throttle. I'd also like an explanation as to why it Is that when the snow gets sticky and starts to clobber up the windshield It Is always the driver's half of things that are ob scured, while on the passenger's side the vision is clear and Beau tiful? I suppose these are Intangibles that will never be straightened out. I'd also like to see a good de froster on the market that will work short of driving forty miles. Speaking of snow recalls to our mind the sight during the last big snow flurry ol a dozen or so spec tators lined up along the board wall watching a shovel and a bulldozer work at the site ol the new As sociated station on Main and not minding the falling Hakes a bit. I guess there isn't much that will keep a sidewalk superintend' ent from his chosen work. But my feet got awiuny cold standing there. Dropped In on Charley Read at his saddle shop the other day and heard him talking about drivUig out to lake a gauder at Lost River last week during the big rain. He said it was the highest he'd ever seen It, a regular raging flood roaring along almost over the old orchard out there. Wish I'd gone qt4 myself, but didn't think about ft. One always thinks of Lost River as a placid little trickle where cat fishermen line the banks in the spring and ducks paddle around In the fall. Would be quite a sight, if you didn't have property in dnngcr, to see it all full and rushing. Which reminds me again that there Is no brand of weather too tough for Upper Lake fishermen. They are out again, lined up along the shore In rain, snow and sleet hoping to pick up one of the big lunkers they know are down there. A hardy breed, Indeed. Vho.s V ni or? By KEN McLEOD The problem ot "whose water?" Is perhaps the most Important question to be answered today now that so many people are turning their attention towards claims to the water supply of the western states. The greatest Pandora's Box to be opened on this subject has been the Supreme Court Decision In regard to the Pelton Dam on the Deschutes River In which the wa ter laws of the State of Oregon have been brushed aside by a de cision to build a dam on the river whether or not It Is approved by the state. Now we find the Pelton Dam decision being pushed bv federal officials in the case of other west ern streams, the latest being the Blue River of Colotado. This ac tion on the part of the representa tives of the federal government to seek ownership or control of water without regard to vested riRhts has created quite a considerable de gree of concern amongst water users In the Colorado River llasin. In explanation, the Blue Kiver case was pending before the U.8 District Court for the District of Colorado In a statutory adjudica tion proceeding at the time the Pelton Dam decision was rendered by the U.S. Supreme Court. Un der the laws of Colorado, the ear- liest priority date which could be awarded to the Green Mountain Reservoir and power plant owned by the United States was the date of commencing the project surveys in 1935. After the Oregon decision was announced. Uie government immed iately proceeded to make further claims upon the waters of the Blue River In line with the court de cision and asked the court to award decrees to the reservoir and power plsnt in line with the Pelton de cision. To fortify their claims, rep resentatives ot the department of Justice fell back on withdrawals In connection with power sites: rec lamation withdrawals; Naval Shale Oil reserves; and executive-orders as fsr back as 190(1 to claim the waters hi the Blue River and El liott creek which was unappropri ated at that lime. The claim' made th.t IH In ri"' 1 the use of water now resides In the United States of America." In Uie same claim statement, a further demand was made by the United States, perhaps more far reaching In Its overall effect, al though involving a much smaller amount of water. It was recited by the government that certain rights had been developed In con nection with what Is termed '"For est Service and National Park Serv ice rights connected with the Rocky Mountain National Park for do mestic and other purposes." It would appear that in this In stance the Department of Justice was attempting to apply the rule which was announced in the case of the Pelton Dam to the unap nropriated water of the Colorado River, and to claim that, as of the dates of the various withdraw al orders and proclamations which it mentions in its claim statement that the federal government also withdraw from appropriation by others whatever amount of water the United States might at any lime find It convenient to use on any or all the lands withdrawn. John B. Bernard, pranby, Colo rado, attorney in reviewing the present trend on the part of the federal government to lay claim to all the water of the nation without regard to the riehts of the states stated: "It appears clear that we must have tlie helo of the federal government through the bureau of reclamation or other fed eral agencies. In view of our ex oerlence In the matter of the Big Thompson project, In view of the fact that we had to fight a deter mined effort on the part of the United States to subject our vested rights to the use of water to the control of the Secretary of the Interior, It Is clear to us that we must be ever alert to see to It that we do not subject ourselves to the dangers Inherent In either federal ownership or federal con-, trol of any of the water; and of the two dangers, In my opinion, federal control of water Is the greater." The rumbles of the Pelton Dam decision have not yet reached the waters of the Klamath River how ever, should further gains be made by the federal government In ex tending Its control over the waters of the Colorado through obtain ing the government's desired ob iectlves to the waters of the Blue River It can readily be predicted that such elaims would be nressed upon the Klamath as well as all other western streams. Ill ! n pa ii By KATHLEEN WARD In spite of having to go through Japan like the tall end of Halley's proverbial comet. I was able to crowd a great deal Into three davs and two nights. We docked early In the morning in Yokohama and I took the express train to Tokyo and taxied to The International House of Japan. This house was rpened In June of this year and was endowed by the Rockefeller Foundation. It provides a wonder ful meeting place for citizens from all over the world. On the regis ter there were Pulbright students, teachers, newspaper men and wom en, artists and musicians from the four corners of the globe. What a pity that there was no time for me to explore some ot these In teresting personalities. . After contacting my ships of fices and assuring them that I wasn't going to miss sailing from Kobe, 1 called a former mayor and very prominent citizen of Klamath Falls. Willis Mahoney! He has lived In Tokyo for the past 10 years, having come over to as sist in conducting the war trials, and Is now in the busmess life of the city. He had been advised by mutual friends ot my arrival and he certainly made my short stay In Tokyo a memorable and inter esting one. We had luncheon at the histor ical Hotel Imperial and then he proceeded to show me as many ct the shrines, palaces, gardens, etc., as there were daylight hours to spare. One sight which made a terrific impression on nie, was seeing bus loads of Japanese peasants pour ing out by the hundreds and visit ing a shrine near the emperors palace. Many of them were bent with age and their years of toil In the rice fields. Without doubt, this trip to the shrines ol Tokyo was a "once in a lifetime" event for them. This has been an unusually productive year for rice, so their economic conditions are quite good. These peasants represent the 'Japan of old' and are the back bone of the nation. They are a great contrast to the westernized atmosphere of Tokyo. At the shrine they are given small bits of paper with a for tune on it. If It reads good, they keep It, otherwise they place It on the blanches (Which are quite bare now of the nearest tree and it atves the Impression that all the trees are full of little white blos soms. They ere dressed in dark ki monos, split-toed canvas shoes and many wore getas. ithe little wood en peg shoes! that are so familiar all over Japan. They alt looked at me with as much interest, as I did at them. Mv height alone makes me as ntiich a novelty to them, as the difference In our dress Anolher unloigettable experience was going through the bis central railway station at the rush hour. The clop-clop ot the thousands of getas as they run (they never walk! to catch their trains to the out lying sections of this huge city of some eight million persons is truly something. tTo be continued) Peek Aheml Bv HAL BOY IK an advance peek at what lies ahead. This curiosity Is a human trait, as human as having mothers-in-law or the nosebleed. Each year the editori ot the Od dity Almanac try to satisfy this curiosity by taking a look in tneir luz.iy office crystal ball and mak ing a few pertinent forecasts for the year coming up. Here are their picks for '56: Politics a drive will be launched to get both the Republican and Democratic parties to back a bi partisan presidential election tick etbut cooler heads will prevail. . . Both major party platforms will de nounce ragweed and endorse moth erhood, but each will remain silent on the crying question of the hour. "shall the dandelion be made America's national flower?". . .It's too hot an issue for a campaign year. Business As usual, only more so. The nation will hit a 400 billion dollar Income, and 0 out ot 10 Americans will ask, "wonder who got my share?" Sex it will go on as usual, too. No really significant developments in this important field uppear on the horizon, although no slump in its present widespread popularity Is expected. International Affairs A calm year. The cold war between Elsa Maxwell and the Duchess of Windsor will continue, but no open violence will flare. . , Babs Hutton will abstain from either divorce or marriage. Automation A new push button slot machine will make its appear ance in Las Vegas, so patrons can lose their cash without wearing out their arms pulling those levels. Industry Motor car sales, after a brief lag. will spurt tremendous ly after all firms announce they will give a year's free parking space with the purchase of each new automobile. . , Color television will become so common you no longer will have to run to the back porch to watch a beautiful sunset; you can gallop over to your wealthy neighbor's house and see It on his TV screen ... A washing machine will be developed Into which you can dump your dirty children .as well as your soiled laundry. . . An oil well will discover a Texan. Sports Britain will finally uncov er a promising heavyweight boxer with a plastic Instead of a glass jaw (but Rocky Marclano will break it in 1950 anyhow i. . . The New York Yankees will lose the American League race and go on a vegetable diet. . .An attempt will be made to include girl watching as an Olympic sport. Women's Fashions The style world will be startled by a revolu tionary new corset which zippers up the front, thus enabling a fat wife to dress without asking help from her churlish husband. , .Some strange new shapes in ladies' hats are in the offing, but is this news? Men's Fashions Charcoal-white shirts will gain favor among white collar workers who complain they can't afford laundry cost on their present white-white shirts. Health A man will be afraid to admit he has a corn or bunion for fear people will think It is a sign he is too poor to buy a car and has to walk to work. , .Women will go on living longer than men, and men will go on wondering why. . . Three eminent doctors will say the best way to stay healthy is to avoid emotional tension, and three other equally eminent doctors will say the best way to stav healthy Is to blow your top whenever you feel like It. The Animal World Some rich alley cat will die and leave all Its money to a poor old lady who once poured It a dish of cream in Its friendless youih. . . A new dog whistle will be Invented which pooches can put in their teeth and blow to inform the master It Is time for him to leave the bar and walk them back home. Labor As little of this as pos sible. New labor-saving devices will give most workers more free com pany time In which to ask the boss for shorter hours and more pav. Weather Feeble gusts early in the year from Washington. DC, followed by storm clouds over Chi cago and San Francisco in mid summer. Winds of hurricane force, accompanied by much thunder, will sweep ell parts of the nation in September and October. Alter a spectacular lightning display early in November, the rest of the year will be fair and clear. Frail Sox By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK The frail sex grows steadily stronger Industrial ly and financially thanks to elec tronics and statistics. With more women working all the time, and at Jobs once consid ered only man's work, making more money and living longer to spend It. business increasingly tilts Its products and processes their way. And the more pushbutton the belter, as the banks have found in their quest for a stable labor force. In the products field, power steering made its first great ap peal to the woman driver. Men liked it but wouldn't admit they weren't strong enough to park a car easily. Electric typewriters ease the daily toil of the tired stenographer. Prepared and prepackaged foods make homework easier for femi nine breadwinners returning from the office or factory. Now automation may see to It that the female with pushbuttons at her fingertips is the equal of the male In industry. And the women will tell you It's high time too. Around one third of Ihe M million of the nation's wom en over M vears of age are re ported working now. Their total number Is one third higher than HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Some 11 million women at work are under 65 and about a half mil lion others are past that age. In tne younger group the greatest per. centage are In clerical or sales Jobs. In the older group nearly half are in service lobs. But nearly a third of the younger group and a fifth of the older are doing profes. slonal, technical or Industrial work. Banks, for instance, now employ more women than men. And In some sections of the land there are more women bank vault custo dians than men, and more women bank managers. Hod Advances By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON I In the decade Just ending 1946-1955 commu nism.- on the marcn, has made tre mendous advances, the West, try ing to stop It, has lost ground. Question for the 10 years be ginning Sunday: Will the West,, par ticularly the United States, find a way to roll the Reus back or oven keep them from advancing another inch? No one can claim his guess Is good oh this. Since the beginning of 1945 be tween 100 and 800 million people have been brought firmly under communism by force: the Euro pean satellites, Yugoslavia. China. North Korea, North Viet Nam In Indochina, Outer Mongolia. The Reds won nowhere in free elections. They latched on to some places the satellites during the. war. Others they took after wards by civil war: China and North Viet Nam. Red governments have been established In all of them since the war. Nowhere has the West shaken the Reds' grip once they took hold. In a few places It stopped them when they reached out to grab. Nevertheless, Red tactics forced a monumental change in American thinking. The United States abandoned its historic Isolation and got up to its neck in world affairs and foreign alliances. It made alliances in Europe. Asia, Latin America, the Pacific. Since 1945 it has handed out over 51 billion dollars in aid to friendly countries. There is no doubt the military al liances and the economic help stopped tht Reds from even great er success. No one can rightfully doubt the Reds will use force again when they think they can get away with it. But In this decade West and East have developed such fantastic weapons they could destroy each other In all-out war. For that reason the Reds may try a softer, but more tedious ap proach. For instance, bv smiles and persuasion and promises ot economic help, which they're using now In the vulnerable areas of Southern Asia and the Middle East. One thine is certain: the Com munists will keep on pushing In one way or another. What Isn't eertain is whether the West can stop them. Glandular Fovor By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. One curious disease, which I have discussed several times In the past but about which I con tinue to receive many Inquiries, is Infectious mononucleosis or glan dular fever. This is a disorder more common In children and young adults than It is In the older years of life. The cause of infectious mono nucleosis is still uncertain though It Is probably a virus. If this Is the case it is curious that most experiments aimed at transmitting the disease from one person to anolher or to monkeys have failed. This, I think, answers the question from a reader who recently in quired whether Infectious mononu cleosis was contagious; it is not contagious, or at least If It Is the dangers of catching It by direct contact seem to be remarkably slight. Glandular fever seems to be somewhat more common today than in the past. It is possible that more people used to have it than we know about because It is often mild and perhaps it simply was not Identified so frequently years ago as It is now. The symptoms of infectious mon onucleosis are variable and often unimportant. Vague pains and slight loss of appetite are com mon and moderate fever Is usually present. Some youngsters complain of lack of pep or headaches. In more severe cases nausea and vomiting are common. The lymph glands in the neck, groin, and under the arms are often en larged and it Is for this reason that the disease is sometimes called glandular fever. All of these signs, ot course. can be found in other disorders so that the diagnosis depends on the results of special tests. One of these Is the identification ef an Increase in certain cells in the blood known as the mononuclear cells. In addition, there are labora tory studies of the blood which greatly aid in reaching a diagnosis. Most of those who get this di sease recover without much dif ficulty. Generally the disorder lasts for several weeks but leaves the victim run down and weak for a considerably longer time. What medical men always fear, however, is that a disease of this kind may get more severe as time goes on. In fact, there have been reports of a few victims of infectious mononucleosis who de veloped serious complications. This, fortunately, is unusual. As yet there la no definite treat ment. Rest and the usual methods used for mild Infections li general ly all thst necessarv.
