od used by a few Klamath Union
High School boys. TRAPPING.
With Rhett Bradford, Jim Daily,
Gary Cone, David Detroit, Terry
Kuhlman, Brooks Kendall and Doug
Wilson, the main topic of conver
sation, in school or out, is trap
ping.
Bradford has taken top honors
In mink, Kuhlman in beaver, and
Wilson in muskrat for any single
trapper mentioned above, for this
season.
The Klamath Basin offers a va
riety of furbearers including musk
rat, beaver, mink, and otter which
are the most "heavily" trapped
furs.
Some of the boys have as many
as a hundred traps and may be
found trapping as far as 50 to 60
miles from Klamath Falls fn
search of beaver or otter, while
muskrat are trapped In nearby
Klamath River or Lost River.
You may find It interesting that
the fur coat you were admiring
in the fur shop window may have
pelts In it taken by the boy who
is your neighbor.
GRADUATION IS REALLY
just beginning for Sharon
Bliss, whose future plans in

What comes on the 14th of this
month; an event in which all peo
ple of this state should observe?
The little children, of course, would
think or Valentine's Day. However,
that isn't the significant event. On
this dav 97 years ago, Oregon be
came the thirty-ninth state of the
United States of America.
Isn't it reasonable that the people
of this state should show tome
means of celebration on this par
ticular day? But they do not.
Very few even know that Oregon
was admitted February 14, IBM.
But then again this only char
acterises the feelings and concern
of not only the people of this state,
but of the entire United States.
People i are too busy worrying
about the latest tax inerease, or
how they are going to pay for
their automobile, to be annoyed in
thinking of this country and state
and its historical days.
Not thst just thinking will change
the attitude of people. They have
to think and at the same time
remember the significance of the
thought. If this la done then, per
haps, the people of this nation will
view tneir freedom irom a an-
fercnt angle and will stop taking
it for granted.
