Editor Entered as second class nutter ( the post office at Klamath Falls. Ore., on August 30, 1906, under act of Congress, March I, int SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OP CIRCULATIONS Serring Southern Oregon And Northern California SUBSCRIPTION RATES CARRIER I MONTH MONTHS 1 YEAR MAIL 1 MONTH MONTHS 1 YEAR t I SO . .0O 11(00 I ISO S 7.W 112.00 Amazement , ' By BILL JENKINS About every so often I have to sit' down and explain patiently to my friends that the reason I sound so foggy on the phone In the evening is that 1 have generally just gotten out of bed. I'm beginning to think that al mot everyone in the world except myself can get along on about two hours sleep per night. It would seem so If you were to believe what vou hear at any rate. Me, I guess I'm still a growing boy or something. Ten hours is the minimum and twelve or uur teen is s much better figure. It wasn't always so. In my younger and better days I was frequently out on the tiles 'til the dawn s early light. Thought noui. inf of doing a day's work after a night out, either. But It's all different now. Fill me with good food and I'm ready to crawl be tween the sheets. So that's why I sound like I do I'm not mad. Just sleepy. The Oregon Press Photographers Association is on the hunt for pretty girl again for their annual contest. The usual rules win apply, of course. The young lady muat be unmarried and never nave been wed In the past between 11 and 36 yeara of age and be pos sessed of those physical attributes which lead to admiration and whistles In men. While It may make me out a traitor to the Industry and bring down the wrath of the OPPA on my poor little head I must come out In the open and say "nuts." I, for one, am getting a trifle fed tip with the Idea that every eon- test must have a pretty girl in It somewhere, mat every product most be advertised by a picture of a tnrilllng-type babe and that ev ery group must, at one time or another, sponsor a beauty contest. This Is not a sign of poor sports manship on my part, nor does It show In any way that I am op posed to pretty girls. Far from It. I love 'em. If it weren't for the fact that I have to work for a living, plus the fact that the police frown on It, I should like nothing better than to station my aelf on a convenient comer and watch legions of lovely lasses loiter No, Tm opposed to these beauty contests on perlectly logical and reasonable grounds. In the first place I don't think It's fair to limit the age the way almost all of them do. Some of the loveliest women I know are well alona to ward the point where they stop having birthdays. Nor do I think It rair to limit H to single girls tmiy. ino Mrs. America contest doesn t. Again, some of the love. Heat women in the world are mar ried. ii you are loosing lor physical! to deliver a message, or try to . y. nociiia w rno ii mane some imai comment Reid Impoundment was Intended as an evaluation or one typical area, and as a basis for future stU' dies. The Reld area was selected because it contained a variety of habitat types which could be com oared for breeding efficiency. The study, additionally, revealed that soil salinity seriously effects the growth of plants In the area plants uaed by ducks for food. The salt comes Irom suo-suriace ma rine shale. It carries to the sur. face in the water table, which is now higher than occurred natural ly before the Impoundments were constructed. Accumulating on the surface, the salt causes detrimen lal changes in vegetation. Soli sur veys can be utilized to eliminate saline areas in future development, Keith points Out. Keith found that early grazing after impoundments were created was beneficial to the extent that It prevented development of cat tall shorelines, but may reduce nesting cover on some adjacent prairie lands. Muskrats eat bull' rushes planted for emergency cov er, and other plant species must be used Instead. Predatlon on nests and nesting females Is al ways a problem, with 66 per cent of the nests and i t per cent of the nesting- females falling to predators. Skunks caused more than half the damage to nests, and weasels probably took the nest ing females is Keiths opinion. Alec (s'uiiiiieKM By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK Alee Ouln- ness, regarded by many as one of the finest actors alive, regards his success with retrained en thusiasm. "It's practically all due to lack of food and plenty of disappoint ments." he said wryly. "Believe me, they can be real Incentives." Critics praise Ouinncss for his chameleon-like ability to play any role. Perhaps no actor since the late Lon Chaney has used so many disguises. Alec s roles have ranscd from the third murderer In "Macbeth" to Hamlet. In "Kind Heart and Coronets" he played eight differ ent characters. In his latest film, The Prisoner," he portrays a cardinal, who tights the brain washing of a totalitarian govern ment. I like .variety in life as well In the theater," he said. "1 hate to be typed. If I aee any aanger or uiat, I make a dash In the opposite direction, "Rome people like to find a suc cess formula and stick to It. 1 don't have a formula. I live from hand to mouth, from Instinct to instinct.

He no doubt meant this as en. couragement to all of his party's presidential hopefuls to get active but It may have had the effect of chilling their blood. In almost any state primary against Elsenhower they'd almost certainly lose. Newsmen who went to his news conference yesterday were not surprised when he left them still guessing on whether he'll run again. He said he hasn't decided and won t for a while. It was last summer weeks be fore his heart attack Sept. 24 mat Eisenhower began raising questions about his health when asked about seeking a second term. In August he spoke about the eroding effect of the presidency on the man in the White House and said, when he had no reason to expect a heart attack, that the state of his health would be a ma jor factor in his decision on run ning. That concern about his health appeared in statements he has made since then. He has noted that no man has reached 70 In the presidency. He'd be 70 three months before the end of s sec ond term. He has said the presidency Is more wearing than any military assignment he ever had. He told newsmen Jan. 9 he would have to be careful to avoid fatlaue. He has emphasized his decision would be Dased on what Is good for the country. Along that line he has said It is a "very critical thing to chanire governments in this country at a time that It is unexpected." a statement which could only mean it is critical if a president dies in office or, for health reasons, can't carry on with his Job. would be better to open the con' test to all comers. If you are looking for more than beauty you'll never find It through a oeauiy contest despite their jeeoie attempts at "requiring" charm, personality and talent. When they get the rules down to something like reasonable then I'll go along. But not until then. Shucks, why waste all that time looking over ten or twelve finalists in a contest when the beaches are full of beauties all summer long? Ducks Unlimited By KEN McLEOD Tn the KlamaUi Basin there are quite a number of members of the organization called Ducks Unlimit ed, dedicated to the preservation of waterfowl on the North Amerl can continent. While their Interest centers upon the migratory gnme birds, all other birds that depend upon marshland habitat benefit by the work of the organization. Duck's Unllmtted'a program to Improve Canadian duck breeding grounds has demonstrated Uiat wetland res toration can be an Imporiant fac tor In producing more ducks. Lloyd Keith, a University of Wis consin wildlife biologist, is the first scientist to make an Intensive stu dy of duck breeding on a DU Im poundment. The study area he se lected was located In the short grass plains of southern Alber ta, known as the Will J. Reld pro ject in honor of a past president of DU. DU completed engineering work on the area In 104 a mri n,. aubsequent natural development of umn orrening area was the chief point in Keith's study, funds for the sturiv pnn. trlbuted by DU and the R. How- ara wcoster Foundation. Montreal through the Delta Waterfowl Re search Station. During the period of study, Keith was a graduate student at the University of Alber ta, and since that time has moved to, Ihe University of Wisconsin to tudy for his doctorate. The DU program. Keith states, consists primarily of reflooding old lakes and marshes that had for merly been drained for farming and proved unsuccessful. This work requires impoundments bv building dams and dikes, and sta bilizing water levels on existing lakes and marshes which are sub ject to drought and flooding.

"Isn't it enouah u an evening in tne theater merely provides one with entertainment and something to talk about?" "I don't know of any major problem In living that can be set tled In two hours. Do you?" Alec has a deep and sustained love of the profession he still feels he hasn't mastered after 22 vears oi siuay. "There is an old savine that it taxes an years to make an actor." he said. "I'm stepping it up a bit. It takes longer." row actors have had a harder struggle reaching the too. At u he decided on a career in acting but was told by his teacher he lacked the ability. He went to an acting school and araln was told he lacked ability. The first time he tried out for a film role the producer told him he would never make the grade. For years he subsisted In London in an apartment the size of piano box on one meal a day and sandwiches brought him by ii iriui. For a time I even went bare- foot," he rAnlled. "I onlv had slv pence a week ta dlmci lor Docket money, lust enough to buv me gallery seat at the Old Vic Thea- vcr. "I wouldn't go through that again. I'd do a bit of thieving first. "But I suppose, actually, that I followed the right pattern. There was something about those days I still miss a feeling that at an moment something wonderful and unexpected would happen to me." Bit bv bit, role bv role lie worked his way to the top in both the theater and films. Now Alex, who leads a simple, placid 111' offstage, modestly wonders how long his present fame will endure. "After all. one has to face the fact that the averane film star onlv lasts about seven vears he said, grimacing. He thought a bit then added cheerfully: "ii in oiner nand. if you've got great big outstanding ears you've not one m,i... ... .' handsome leading man.
