In accepting the Junior Chamber
Distinguished Service Award. 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

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.

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

Tho horse had been completely

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

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

In the popular family sltuntlon

It Is doubtful whether most hus

To he a boss carries with It the
penalty of having to shoulder a lot

arc tired of responsibility. Why not
let a woman be the boss, and lean

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

how to make more money at the

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."

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

Electors dies or is disabled he.

ueuuni running mate Would auto

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

Each of the other viral dis

separate discussions. However,
with the possible exception of a
substance derived from the blood

or more of the antibiotics, treat
