This business of running a rodeo being more than Just signing up some riaers, running in a nun: stork and cutting her loose. One of the old hands at this business as far as the Klamath falls show Is concerned Is Charley Read. He's been a wheelhorse In the outfit for a long lime now. Talking to him the other day he came up with a pretty fair sug gestion: Why not put the rodeo on an alternate year basis? Tho more you think about it tne belter the idea seems. Al least to me. Chsrley's thinking falls pretty much into line with mine. Klamath Falls has never been a rodeo town in the sense tfiat some, such as Pendleton, Calgary, Cheyenne, Red Bluff, have been. On top ol thai everyone has been rodeo'd to death in the past lew years. Particularly on the July dates you can find a rodeo of some'kuid in almost every hamlet, crossroads, town and city you run across. Charley's Idea hinges around bringing in some other attraction on alternate dales and having the rodeo group stage a rodeo every second or third year. It would re lieve the monotony of the same show every year, interject a new note in the entertauunent world here In Klamath lor the summer season and give everyone a rest, Including the committee that has to sweat and strain to put on tne show year alter year. I think Uiat a good deal more enthusiasm could be generated by this dodge, mora people would slay home over the holidays, more out siders would visit the city end the county would be better off as a whole. As to what could be brought in I should imagine the range would prove extensive if you sat down and thought It over. There are a Rood many national shows that tour the country snd are broad cast on both radio and TV. There re auto features and boat shows and regattas and many other facets of the entertainment world. Rodeos are great sluff and In teresting, but It Is nonetheless true that in these modern davs of nro- fessional riders snd contract slock when you've seen one you've seen 'em all. Only those who are dved- ln-the-wool rodeo fans and look more for polnle than excitement can get the asms thrill out of the trillion, which Is a factor from some sections, or for roof water and the different ways by which storm Wa ter enters a supposedly sanitary sewer system. The sewage treatment plant, lo cated on the west side ol Lake Ewauna near the Great Northern railway bridge, has a rated ca nadtv of 2'. million gallons per day and Is now operated under overload conditions. The plant, while modern in its day, is now considered short of modern design and operation standards. To re construct and enlarge the plant would be a major operation and would cost almost as much as a new plant with much lower operate lug efiiciency. As slated ill the Cunningham re port Klamath Falls now has sev. eral sewerage problems that are serious and becoming more serious every year. Overloaded sewers cause backing up into basements and during heavy rainlall, such as tins season, tney overnow at cer .tain manholes. The present city administration, seeking an answer to the problems has asked the Cunningham firm for a more recent survey. This sur vey will be forthcoming soon. It Is hoped a comprehensive, overall sewage plan can be presented to the voters of Klamath Falls In one of the two elections coming up this year, (The Herald and News will go into detail on some of the specific ii?ctions and possible solutions In further columns on tills page.) Frontier By KEN McLEOD America has been the typical frontier for the cullufe of man, first, for the spread of man from the cast, the aboriginal pioneer, and men later, more firmly im planted in our own civilization of modern limes, the frontier for man's movement to the west. Tho way of life which Is called Amer ican belongs to Ihe frontier. Loyal F.ngllshmen find It diffi cult to understand why It la that the American faces to the West Instead of to tho East, the homo land from which so many owe their ancestry.

Come to think of it I guess she's right. Or at least it would seem so. SeuntfP I'riiuleiiiK By MAX WAUCHOPE One of the most Important growth problems facing Klamath Falls today Is that of ,a sewage system running at peak capacity most, of the time and a treatment plant that was once adequate but is now considered obsolescent at best. And this is considering onlv the area inside the city limits todnv It doesn't consider the possibility of annexation of any of the south suburbs or the formation of a san itary district in that area.

" A",erlc,n - j By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK W Will success spoil Kim Novak? The 32 year old fluorescent blonde landed in Hollywood two years and four months ago virtu ally unknown except to her family and a few close friends. Since then she has been In six films. The Hollywood drumbeaters have given her one of .the most massive buildups since Marilyn Monroe tip-toed off a calendar to fame. But even her old Sunday School teacher could hardly complain that Kim who combines the flawless beauty of Grace Kelly with the sultry charm of la belle Monroe has let her quick stardom go to ner neaa. Miss Novak still talks with the down-to-earth commonsense of the proverbial "girl next door." She looks pretty much like the girl next door, too that is, if the girl next door rinsed her hair in a lavender tint and felt a bit crowd ed In a 3? 'i-aize sweater. One way Kim has kept her feet on the ground is by walking. I love walking." she said, dur ing a visit here to attend the pre miere of her latest opus, "Picnic-," which is based on the Broadway play of the same name. "I live only three blocks from the studio, so I walk to work. I slay In a home with 07 other girls in s an ailiuate of Uie YWCAl who are trying to get a break in Hollywood. "My parents wanted me to stav there. They felt I'd be safer. I nav (19.60 a week for a room and two meals a day, and the room is about the size of the bathroom in the hotel suite the studio has nut me up In here." Kim started modeling at 12 and along the way also. worked In a Christmas card factory and a dime store, ran an elevator, groomed horses, and served as a dental assistant. In her studio biography Kim recalls: "One day the dentist's wife came in the office, and the next day I lost my job. It took me a long time to figure out why." ay and large, the reasons are now clearly evident. . Kim was averaging $200 a week as a model, but quit it to start her film career at $100 because "I was tired of just posing and smiling." Today her weekly Income is in four figures somewhere between $10.00 and $9,099. Her, studio "loaned" her services lo make a single film for an Independent pro- auuer jor tiuu.uuu. "Naturally. I didn't get any of that," wistfully remarked the act ress, wno has Just signed a new i-year contract. None of Hollywood's celebrated sins have caught up with Kim. She avoids , the glamour circuit, likes 10 wear slacks and flat -heeled shoes off-screen, prefers candy to oavlar (It says "right here). She doesn't smoke or drink. No, not even couee. "In two of my pictures I had to smoke, and I had to practice a coupie 01 weeks each time In order to hold the cigarette right. I hiited 11. 11 made my eyes burn. So far, so good? Yep. But what aooui romance? "I'm only 32, said Kim, crisply, "They don't marry that young wuera 1 come irom. She comes from Chicago, breeiy city. . But a witness would have to be careful in trying to decide for him- sell-iin not answering whether the committee's question was legit imate and connected with possible lawmaking or was Just for ex posure. But by the same token since the Court of Appeals has taken this stand Congress may hesitate before citing for contempt a man who took the same stand as Wat- kins and for the same reason. This Court of Appeals ruling is a brake on congressional commit tees. As of now, It Is the guiding law In the District of Columbia where most such committee hear ings are held. A court of appeals In another circuit, presented with the same issues, might rule dif ferently. If the Justice Department, which prosecuted Watklns for contempt, now appeals to the Supreme Court, any answer there will be final. But at least yesterday's ruling plainly tells Congress there are limits on what it can ask people. the Mill Hig By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK IH-They seem lo be about ready to bury "the good old days." Talk about the postwar deflation that . must inevitably come and cut the cost of living is at a minimum now. Even the Russians' new try at making the American people think they are being brought to the brink of peace doesn't stir up much hope for a change in the governmental pattern: Big debt, big spending, high taxes. The talk now Is all of recognizing the postwar Inflation as an ac cepted fact of life solidly built into the economy. High prices, they say now, are here to stay. Success now Is meas ured not by a cut in the cost of living but by the stability with which It can be maintained at its present level. Few Indeed see much chance of going back to the old purchasing power of the dollar. Holding the line is praiseworthy in Itself. As President Eisenhower put 11 In his economic report to Congress: "The events of the past three years have been heartening. We have seen that our economy can continue to grow with a minimum of instability of employment and without any appreciable change In the value of money." But before shedding too many tears over the demise of "the good old days." stop to think if you'd really like to go back. The cost 0 living has gone up, sure. But in many Industries the scale of wages and salaries has gone up even more since prewa days. As a result, in many fac tories a worker can turn the pro ceeds of an hour's work into more food and clothing than he could have in the '30s, when food and clothing were cheaper. And many things actually cost less today than they did when grandfather was a bov. Some of this stems from America's genius for mass production. Aluminum is an example. Fifty years ago It cost 35 cents a pound. Now. in spite of price rises since World War II, 11 costs 22' 2 cents a pound.

S. Court of Appeals. This is what the court said in effect: It's all right lor a com mittee to expose ex-communists if it's done in connection with law making; but It has no right to ask a witness about ex-Commu-nlsta If the only purpose Is ex posing them. The court threw out a contempt of Congress conviction against John T. Watkins. a Rock Island. III., labor union official who balked at certain questions of the House Committee on Un-American Activ ities in 1954. He told the committee he had co operated with Communists in the 1940s but had never been one him self: he agreed to name people he knew lo be Communists now; but he refused to name people who were party members in the 1940s but are not now. Why? He reasoned this wsy: The basic purpose of every con gressional committee, Including In vestigating committees, is to ob tain Information necessary for lawmaking. In this case, he reas oned, the Information about the ex-Communlsts was not for any lawmaking purpose but only to ex pose them. He didn't plead the Fifth Amend ment. It he had. he could have refused to answer all questions and avoided conviction lor con tempt instead, he refused to an swer questions about the ex-Com-munists. What does this mean for other congressional committees which ; itive to pressure, though'of course nvo maae nesounes oy asxing this can result from a great "ov "my sooui people manv other conditions. Digestive Organs By EDWIN P.. JORDAN, M.D. "So many of my friends have diverticula and sutler indigestion,' writes Mrs. w.. "that I wish you would discuss it." Certainly the disorder known as diverticulosis is common enougli and so many others have written about It that, although this has been discussed before, I shall have to do so again even though we really do not know any more about 11 man we knew last year or the year before. First. It is best to explain what we are talking about. .A diverti culum Is a pouch or a pocket leading off from a large cavilv or tube. In the digestive passage way or gastrointestinal tract lead ing Irom the mouth to the outlet such pouches are fairly common Presumably this is because there was some weakness In the wall of tne digestive lube which was pres ent al birth. Actually, diverticula (which is the phyal of diverticulum) arc most frequent In the lower Dari of the bowel or colon. Apparently they increase In frequency with age. They are said to be present in about one person In everv 20 who has reached or passed the age of 40. Usually, these pockets do n o t produce symptoms and tire con dition, is called diverticulosis. But once In a while the lining of the pockets become Inflamed and then Diverticulitis Is the label used In diverticulitis the symptoms 01 inuammation vary a good deal There may be a single attack of acute abdominal pain (which has to be differentiated from appen decitis or other acute abdominal condition), or several attacks. Occasionally, inflammation mav be so severe as to cause a hole In the pocket with Infection spread ing to ine aodominal cavity and producing peritonitis or abscess formation The area involved may be sen who are Communists now but about people who may have left the party 30 years ago? They may be a little more care ful about their tactics If the de cision stands. The ruling will strengthen the position ol witness es against answering questions similar to those asked Watkins if Because the symptoms are so similar to many other conditions, and are frequently complicated by other disorders, the diagnosis is o(tn ditltcult. When severe diverticulitis bursts through the wall of Ihe the bowel or obstructs intestinal action, an immediate operation Is usuallv mey minx tne question Is lor ex- necessary- In most cases intlam povirt alone and not for legisla-1 mation is mild and medical treat-Uon- I menu will suffice.
