' This count, the eifthth In a series of "comparable" surveys aimed at gaining Information as to flight habits, numbers, wintering grounds and all the other Incidentals that total up to the mass of present - day lnlormation about our ducks and geese. These counts are undertaken on a wide scale with better than two thousand state and ledcral water- v.

However, with a small reRtilar army the National Guard fulfilled a vital role In providing lor the early defense of our coun try during the hectic days prior to. and at the beginning of World War II Of the over 300 officers and men of the old 249'J batteries that left here in 1940, many failed to re turn from the war. Of the other, a large number transferred to othei branches of the service when the Coast Artillery was deemed an obsolete blanch of the Army. Many of the men who started out pense however will be borne by the American side of things. Planes are used as well as ground operations and every effort Is made to avoid counting the same ducks twice. Considering the amount of territory covered the counts have proven surprisingly accurate over the past few years. Early reports from the local counters tell us that the total num ber of waterfowl tabulated in the Klamath Basin Is only a bare frac tion of last year's count. Due to much worse weather conditions this year than last. A good many people, mostly bird watchers and non-hunters, are apt to gel pretty not .uuer the collar about the expense in volved In such a project. They are pretty certain to object on the grounds of what economic gain can possibly be realized from such a survey? Who cares, they say, whether we know all about what the birds do in the winter? How do we make any money out of it, or pay back the taxpayer? Ordinarily I tend to fall Into their way of thinking when It comes to the way In which the federal government throws money around like It was nothing but money Instead of the taxpayers' blood, sweat and tears. But In this case I'm quite will ing to see a chunk of my tax dollar going toward supporting the count. It may not prove anything but It does offer a basis for future planning as to shooting seasons, bag limits, migratory waterfowl protection regulations and the rest of it. I am not always content to agree with the results of the count. X still can't find the logic or rea son for those years when we have a huge count In the winter which Is followed by a good nesting sea son and then a short gunning sea son and a reduced bag limit. But those are matters, like world poll tics, which are beyond the ken of man anyway. So 1 11 go ahead and agree that lhc?e two batteries never saw ac tion as unit.", Klamath Falls can he proud of the record of the In dividual, who made up the rank ana me. Today the Naiional Guard Is equipped with the latest guns and equipment that the regular army has to olfer. It Is a far cry from the pre-World War II days when Ine guard received the cast-offs of the regulars and the regulars were far from lavishly equipped themselves. With their equipment stationed right here all year long the guardsmen are able to mam- tain a much higher level of effi ciency than the pre-World war II guard was able to maintain. Much more skill Is needed to operate the complicated devices of a modern army. The recruit, or ex-serviceman, Joining the ranks of the guard to day can learn to operate the lat est electronic, and other equip ment, that the service lias to oi ler. He can go to service schools and he receives pay commensur ate with his rank for his drill pe riods and for the annual two-weeks training camp. This camp Is usual ly taken by the Klamath Falls unit at Camp Clatsop, on the Oieeon Coast between Seaside and Astor ia. Young men between the ages of 1V4 and 18 can fulfill their mili tary obligations by Joining the guard, guard officers have stated. Men past 18 'i who face the draft can Join the guard and work for promotions; If they are drafted they can retain their guard rank by applying for a lour of extended active duty. The guard, of course. Is not the only organization of a reserve na ture In the armed services today The U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and the U.S Marine and Naval re serves all offer young men and veterans opportunities to serve their country. There are several of these units In the Klamath area. However you feel about the serv ices, either reserve or regular, you a count is a good Idea that some- """" deny that National Guard rt.i rr,u .nri nn with ih. Hi.n.

And when next year rolls around and we get another season loaded for the benefit of the Central Val ley boys and the protection of their crops and swimming pools, then I'll cry and sob and bile holes In the pillow at night again. And hope that I live long enough to see Just one more early season In Southeastern Oregon, For the past Reveral years the pintail and the widgeon have been put on the blacklist, labeled as depredator ducks and oflered to the gunner as a bonus on his bag limit. Because they arc addicted to a diet of grain and like to eat well and heartily. No one cares, so far, about the food the divers iane on me lanti so there are millions ol spoonios flying around with little chunro of anvone shoot ing 'em unless they can t find any- mum ucucr. Since agriculture plays such laige part in our economy and since I've got a lot of friends who raise grain I can see the damage nunc mm me reasons behind con troi measures. But I still hate to see a splendid duck like the pin tail labeled as a criminal.

Citizen Soldier By MAX WADCHOI'K The role ol the cituen soldier In oi'iciu. una always been an im. -"-i- one in the delcnse of our country never more so than In today s troubled world. With the two National Guard batteries In Klamath Falls stag lng a recruiting drive fur i nwe enlisted men this week this fact is brought to the fore. The National Guardsmen, and the reservists of i th(, branclu-, of the U 8. Armed Services, spend many hours of their ott-work tunc keeping up thou military skills They have been cr.lled to active duty twice In the last 15 years to defend our country against ag gressors.

ItWoro Mnn By KEN McLEOD The great Klamath Basin has always been the cross-road of hum an migration upon the Pacific Coast as well as for the migra tions of animal life. This fact was determined by Mother Nature when she erected the great bar riers of the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges with the Klamath plateau serving as the key stone of this great geological structure. One of the theories con cerning human migration upon the west coast Is that the main body of people to enter the Central Val ley of California made their way southward along the eastern slope of the Cascades to the Klamath country and then poured like a mighty torrent, over the rim of this highland plateau that forms the break between thp two moun tain ranges, Into the fertile valley of the land Uiat was destined to be enlled California. Tho belief which appears to be gaining ground in scientific circles is that even the Indian tribes of Oregon to the west of the Cascades like wise llnd their routs in this great stream of migration flowing through eastern Oregon rather than from a human migration movement pushing southward along the shore of the Pacific Ocean. Few people have given this fas cinating subject much studv vet there was a time when no human foot trod the American continents. However, the land was not an empty world for It teemed with a rich (aium of life from the smallest ol animals lo the mam moth and mastodon, great ele phants of the past, the largest and strongest ol American animals which roamed the Klamath coun try with little to fear. There were gieat cats, the saber-toothed tig ers, who sneaked through the bushes and crouched In the tall grasses of the open plain The Pasture lands u,.i i.ii.j ..,,. herds of bison, elk and many ox- unci ruminants. Even wiih and camels were numerous. Among the curious beasts was the great muuiia sioin. Digger than a cow and others like the oreodon. the bones of which are found scattered throughout the land.

"""'V'ung inicmy lo the moun- melting along the edges of tile Ice fields sent floodwaters on their way to the sea and created great inland lakes, and supplied mois ture for a great forest that cov ered the now barren hills of the desert lands. Such a picture of a more remote America, which no man saw, was in the period of time we speak now of as the Pleisto cene. What Columbus and his followers found was to them a new land but It was entirely different from the world we Just sketched. Colum bus found a man's world, populated from the arctic, on the north, to cape Horn on the south. There were no great sheets of ice, the glaciers had dwindled mightily and where the glaciers once had been (here were now great forests and rolling plains. The animal life had changed, too. for neither Spaniard, Frenchman nor Englishman saw the original wild horse, the sloth, the camel, the elephant or the many other creatures familiar to our present day fossil hunters. Nor did the living aboriginal Indian seem to know about them either. His astonishment over the Euro pean horse was great, and pic tures of the elephant moved him in silent awe. He was woefully ignorant concerning his own past. Thus it Is left to the white man to recover this lost Indian history, the very people who did their best to wipe out all traces of Indian culture. Yet while the pressure of European culture was sweeping away the Indian we find a few Individuals who were moved by the mystery of the Indian ocoble. The first white scholars In Eurone and America assumed that the In dian came from the Old World. Alter Russian explorers In the north Pacific Ocean made It clear that Alaska almost touched the malnlond of Asia, wise men sold the Indian came from that conti nent. You will find such statements in the oldest books upon the sub ject. In 1739 a great portrait painter named Smlbert came to Boston to paint the colonial governors. He had painted at the Russian Court and so was familiar with the Si berians who annealed there from time to time. When Smlbert saw Indians h pronounced them Mon golians. From that day to this notwithstanding Ihe Intensive re search of specialists, everything points to a Mongoloid ancestry for the Indian. Even the oldest hum: an bones found In America have been pronounced Mongoloid. So one question Is answered: the first mnn in discover America came from Si beria. Tills may not be the final answer, but since nothing to con tradict It has been discovered since 1492 we must accept It as the best answer. Wllh a flood of people pushing out of Siberia Into Alaska and then spilling south through the great plains between the Coast Ranges and the Rockies we can see how It comes that the first men would appear upon the eost ern slopes of the Cascades In the great migration lhat brought the people Into the great central val ley of California and during all this time the Klamath Country has been the gateway for this flood of human migration. Somewhere In ine dim past of this great migra tion a group of people tarried upon the shores of Upper Klamath Loke whose descendents .became the Klamath and Modoc people, the people of the lakes. until she broke down. The saying about dogs also one lor children. That, to teach them one must know more than they do more about that strange little worm in wmcn childhood dwells and when It comes to dogs, boyi are specialists. There is an under standing between them that elders never tainom. ' A boy s first dog is the one he win always remember. It may be a mutt and mongrel, a tramp. a scamp, a scoundrel.

If the writer has really tried "all" of them It is possible she has a secondary In fection from the constant scratch ing, which explains why her trou ble has lasted so long.
