Bob Bench said just two words, '"man .vou." Bob Beach didn't win this "out standing young man" accolade be cause he is a good talker. Rath er, he is a young mnn who thinks enough of his community to have given endlessly of his time, quietly and with good will. His outstanding contribution, of course, was as drive chalrmnn for the successful effort for the Klam ath County United Fund. It was typlcnl that Bob could find words only to suy "Thank ypu" at the time of presentation. It was typical too that the next day iounn him at the telephone thanking people who had helped on proJ ects of his undertaking, in light of his having received the award. II Is vital to have young men like Boh Bench growing Into the community lifo of the Klamath Ba sin. He truly earned the award with his distinguished service. While In the realm of sincerity, pause for a moment and reflect that something unique and good has happened to the citizens of the United States. We're referring to the complete, full honesty of release of the news on the heart attack of President Elsenhower. If you are old enough, think back to the treatment of news re leases on the tragedies of Presi dent Wilson, President Harding and President Franklin Roosevelt. In none of these cases were the American people taken into con fidence. In each case they were told "what was good for them" or what was good for the ad ministration. Bv this time it Is clearly evh dent that we have been given promptly and fully the details of Mr. Eisenhowers ncari niiacx ana of his progress In recovery. Jim Hngerty, the president's press secretary, has since said that a full, honest report was simply in keeping with Ike's established policy and that further, the first word from the president in ins oxygen tent on Haaerly'a arrival t Denver was simply, "Take over and tell a straight story." On being complimented by the press, Hngerty said, "There's nothing mysterious or clever about tcllinR the truth." Bob Bench, as United Fund drive chairman, wns reflecting some time ago on the workings of public sorvlce health programs. He ob served. "President Roosevelt did it for polio with tho March of Dimes President Eisenhower probably will do It for the Heart Fund I hope the next president has cold." While the horse was slowly mak ing Its wav up through the Rocky Mountain region other branches spread out eastward going north and south across the plains region reaching the coast of Texas by 10110 about the same time that the Idaho Snake River country was reached. While this spreading out from New Mexico was taking place another line was being established out of Mexico bringing the horse northward to cross the Colorado to California in the Imperial Val ley country and to the California coast, then following the mission trail Into the central Valley and appearing in the northern end of the Sacramento Valley by 1775. So somewhere between 1730 and 1776 the people of the Klamath Lakes beenme acquainted with the horse. In 1827 when Ogden visited the Klamath Marsh the people there had but one horse. Pavement I'lafo Horses By KEN MCLEOD In one of our past columns we discussed the probability thnt the first Indian migrants to the Klam ath Basin did come In contact with the original American horse thnt beenme extinct in North America due to some unknown reason, or set of circumstances. Numerous Ideas expressed on this subject have suggested the Influence of some destructive malndy which would virtually wipe out all the nnlmnls, however, experience hns always shown that such events are usunlly never a hundred per cent efficient as a few hnrdy Individuals generally escape. Thus we come to one school of thought that a group of conditions composed of draught, disease, man nnd predntors brought about the extermination of the nntive race of horses. Preda tors nlone probably would not hnve accomplished the complete destruc tlon of tho species but aided with the superior accumen of man the tnsk was accomplished before man lenrned thnt the hor.se wns a most valuable possession.

So the cycle of horse life built up in America again only to begin another decline but this time in all probability will not end with extermination. One of the Interesting questions for the Klnmntli HHsin Is: "When did the Klnmnlh Lnko Indian nc quire the horse and how Important did It become in his economy ot life?" The Indians ol the Klamath Bnsin were possibly the last In. dinns on the Pacitic Coast to nc quire the horse and as fnr as 1 can determine, the horse never plnyed nn Important role In the lite of the people unlil perhaps the Inst few seconds of piny be fore the curtnin wns brought down ending the scene ot aboriginal ltfe.

Strangely therefore it appears thnt the central point for most of horse llle In America Is centered In New .Mexico in ltiuo, the horse resell ing here trom Mexico.

Management is issuing today a By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK I) Curbstone re flections of a pavement Plato: Do American wives really ex ploit their husbands? Mrs. Sldonle Oruenberg. an auth ority on family life, detects a tend ency In young wives to take ad vantage of their husbands by hav ing them do too much housework. Mrs. Cruenberg, who headed the Child Study Assn. of America for a quarter century, objects to this "selfish use of p. husband for a wife's personal advantage without regard to his own need." She feels this husbnnd-exploita- uon is probably an unconscious feminine reaction against past gen erations of wife-exploitation by nusonnas. But, warning that a man who Is forcod to do too many maid chores may start slaying away from home, Mrs. Gruenberg advances mis revolutionary thought: "Men have a right to find In their households a little peace" and are entitled to "a little pleas ure, a little protection." Well, naturnlly. kind words like this are enough to make the av erage husband break right down and cry out of pure gratitude. He isn i used to being annreclated. He Is more accustomed to being ridiculed. The European male for some time now has looked down on the American husband ns a forlorn puppet of his womenfolk. Mnnhood in America takes a beating from almost every quart er. It is drummed Into men from oirm now that they are intellectu ally interior to women, emotional. ly more unstnble, shorter-lived, and more susceptible to disease and nooioeni. The knight has lost his armor. Man has become ths sec. ond sex. In the popular family sltuntlon comedies on television the husband Is generally portrayed as an oafish dolt around the house who Is etern ally being outwitted by his children nnn who couldn't even hold his Job except for the shrewd behlnd the scenes machinations of his wue. ne never gels a raise from ins doss, sue gets it for him. America's march toward matri archy Roes steadily forward. Frankly sDcnkliur. Mrs. nrnnn. berg's friendly pnt on the back for the U.S. husband, as welcome as It is unexpected, has probably tunic wo laie. It Is doubtful whether most hus bnnds want to be the king In their own castle again and rule the roost as iney once did. To he a boss carries with It the penalty of having to shoulder a lot of responsibility, and many men arc tired of responsibility. Why not let a woman be the boss, and lean on her warm comforting should er? H's easier. Why should a husband holler about drying a few dishes and manicuring a few rugs for a smart wife who can take most of the rest of life's burdens from him tell him when to blow his nose, and how to make more money at the oft Ice? As a matter of fnct, wliv not In stead do so much around the house thnt the wife will have, time to become a family breadwinner, too? One fourth of the nation's married women now hold down outside Jobs, and more will. It Is too late to stav the steady reversals ol the traditional roles or husband nnd wife.

In tended lor use by both manage ment and stockholders. It discusses how dividend rates should be set, whether they should be paid out of accumulated sur plus, the plowing back of earnings. stock splits vs. stock dividends. and annual reports. The Institute holds that a com pany's dividend rate should be de termined by Its balance sheet rather than by Its annual earnings. It Ri'gues that 'Vllvidends can be paid out of disposable liquid as sets, not out of nominal dollar earn ings which may need to be re served for purposes other than div idends, or which may have been channeled into Inventory accumu lation." A firm annual dividend rate "be low which the company will not reduce payments" Is the policy of better managements, the Institute holds. Unusually high net Income should call for an extra dividend it contends, and larger ordinary dividends shouldn t be declared un less management "feels the new rate can almost certainly be main tained In all future years." The guide also favors, "where circumstances warrant", payment ol dividends out ot accumulated surplus, despite losses in Income as ninny companies did during the depression. The Institute prefers the stock dividend to the stock split except when the market value of a stock has gone too high for the average Investor and the price is subject to violent swings. It holds that a spilt menns a reduction In the par value or the stated value of each share. The stock dividend, on the other hand, shows "management's con cern for the welfare of Its share holders," the Institute contends. The stock dividend means "a trans fer of accumulated earned surplus, or of capital surplus, to the slated capital value of the shares" a pro cess that does not occur with a stock split. Plowing back earnings Into plant. equipment, land, patents or pro cesses is necessary to the health of growing companies Industries, the guide points out. In such cases, low pay-out ratio of cash divl dends to earnings is another proof ot fairness to stockholders" and the latter should recognize that growing companies often can't re gard their annual net Income as deductible surplus for dividend pur poses. Annual reports, the Institute savs sternly, should "subordinate pub lic relations appeal to a true ac count oi the company's progress, or lacx oi it."

Bv JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON Ml President Elsenhower's heart attack and the possibility he mny run again raise three questions which are seldom mentioned but always are present with any mnn seeking the niTnesi oince. What happens If, after nomina tion by his party's convention, a presidential candidate dies or is disabled: l Berore election day? I After winning the election hut hefnr. ine college of electors can for mally vote him in? S After win- ning the election and eettinir the electoral vote but before he can uixe ottice? The first and third questions are easier to nnswer than the second. No. 1 The Democratic nr n. publican Nntlnnnl Committee, do. pending on which pnrty nominated nini. woum name someone else as Its party's presidential candidate. It could shove the vice presiden tial enndidate Into the top spot and pick another person to run for the vice presidency. The committees get the authority iu inse enre ot mis kind of emer. gency through a specific resolu tion approved every four years bv their parties' national presidential conventions. If a candidate died too close to election day say, perhaps, the dny before the national com mittee might not have time to agree on a candidate to replace him because the members are so wineiy scattered. No. 3 If a man who wins the election and Is formnllv voted for as president by the Coilege of Electors dies or is disabled he. fore taking office, his vice prest- ueuuni running mate Would auto matically tnke office as president. miis is provided for In the Con stllutlon's 20th Amendment. No. 2 This Is a tricky one which enn't be flatly answered: Whst happens if a presidential candidate wins the election but dies or Is disabled before the College of Electors formally votes him in? The election this year is on Nov. 6: the electors meet Dec. 17. Remember: On Nov. 6 vou do not directly vote for president or vice president, you vote for a slate of electors chosen by their party. The electors have generally felt morally bound to vote for their party's candidate. But under the Constitution they are not legally bound to do so. Thus If the winning candidate died before the electors met. they could it they wished vote for any- dlsease It is one in which only a small proportion of victims are likely to acquire damage to the nervous system. It has been pointed out recently that even If a thousasand individuals within a community are infected for the first time with polio, only 6 or II are likely to develop paralysis. For this frightening disease there is also no satisfactory speclllc treatment once paralysis has set In. Consequently, the major effort of Investigators as I think every one knows has been directed at developing a vaccine against the polio viruses which would prevent them from reaching the nervous system and causing paralysis. The same emphasis at develop ing a preventative vaccine has been aimed at rabies and severnl of the other viral diseases. Elforts to produce a vaccine against In fluenza and some varieties and dolds" have been extensive Occasionally the pain ends spon- tsneously, but in many cases it continues throughout the lifetime of the patient. The patient the physicians treat ed successfully was a 41-year-old housewife who had attempted sui cide four times and begged for a lobotomy a brain operation which dulls reaction to the pain but may cause undesirable personality changes. After three Veeks of treatment with other drugs, the patient was started on chlorpromazine. the physicians said they got a "good response" with the dosage of 200 Bladder 'Weakness' It worried bj "BUdder Weakness" lOettlng Up Ninhts itoo frequent, burning or Itch icg urination or Strong, Cloudy Urine due to common Kidney nnd BUdder Irrl- tattnm tr flVHTEX fnr Olltck. irttlfvlnt. comforting help.

With the peak season of annual stockholder meetings only a lew weeks awny, the question ol "fair s' to stockholders ' Is to the fore A lawyer for one of the national committees said this would hap pen: The national committee would pick someone to replace the can didate who died and expect the electors to vote for him. But if he had not been on the ticket, meaning; the voters never had a chance to approve or disapprove him, there mlsht be turmoil. What the national committee would probably do this is only a suoss is this: name the success ful vice presidential candidate as the presidential choice. Each of the other viral dis eases, what is known about them and what can be done to prevent or treat them, could well stand separate discussions. However, with the possible exception of a substance derived from the blood known as gamma globulin and one or more of the antibiotics, treat ment, other than general care of the person afflicted with a viral diseare, leaves much to be desired. Avoidance of exposure to some one harboring a transmissible virus infection Is one step which has va'ue. I It Is notable, however, that I more progress has been made In understanding how viral diseases attack the body and It) attempts to prepare a vaccine which will aid the body's resistance against Invasion, than in the treatment of established infections. Much has been accomplished but It is equal ly true that much work on viruses and the diseases they cause re mains to be done. lllOiC4 Your Perfect Servant, In our part of the areat Northwest. home-makers spell ELECTRIC CLOTHES DRYER with four letters ..... .
