Word from the state parka de partment Informs us that roughly . 13000 will be spent at the park to provide Buch Items as tables, three ' wood stoves for the use and con- venlence of picnickers, additional ' rest room facilities and garbage disposal as well as Installing a water system and fencing the area wandering livestock. There will also be some leveling and landscaping work done. I, for one, am happy to see this Interest being taken in an on-nign-way park. All-too-oitcn It Is the - parks lying along the major high ways in a l receive wuoi, v mo tcnilon As It should be, I suppose. But here in Kimball Park we have what Is to my mind one oi me rjretllost little sdoIs you'll una any. where east of the mountains. For ; the benefit of newcomers I might explain that the park lies ai me foot of Sun Mountain where Wood - River bolls up out ol the grouna to start its leisurely and wander ing way across the grass carpeted valley. You get there by taking the Crater Lake highway but Instead of turning off at Wlldeagle's mu seum at the Fort Klamain junction you go atraight ahead on the old route of US 87. You'll find the park Just a hop, skip and a Jump up - the pike. There you'll find a chrystal clear spring;, believed by many to be the hidden outlet for Crater Lake, boil ing un in a pile of rocks and .spreading out Into a wide P'ol filled with all the glorious colors of the high country. There's more to the park, though, than a mere ; picnfiO spot. You can wander down ,he little river to discover hidden Denos, CUI oanas wnere usn luia and find pleasing vistas where the ; trees lean over the stream as If looking at their own white and green and gold reflections. Or you csn drive on up the old highway, In the summer when the snow gate Is swung open, and pause at one of the several view points cut out of the timber. There below you Is , the fabulous Wood River Valley, - end product of man's Ingenuity nd love of the beautiful. The rich est grass lands to be found In the West. Mountains hem the tiny val lrv In on three sides, Jutting up blue and green and Inviting on the west tide of the Inke, circling the head of the grassy meadows, '.' stretching away on the east side. -. Any spring or summer dsy up there you can sit and watch hawks mice, ju uie M, pciitiiua i I y along against the backdrop of the hills, looking like a white string of lace whipping in the gentle breeze You can watch placid cattle feed ing over the green acres below you, trace the winding lines of the tiny irrigation ditches and the er ratlo course of the fences that cut the valley from side to side. You can sit there In the warm sunlight or In the shade of the whispering pines and dream of a world Just as you think It should be. You'll go a long way before you find another spot as peaceful as the Wood River Valley. Kimball Park, established but a handful of years ago. Is a little 20-acre spot tucked away there and maintained for the benefit of those who appreciate the beautiful and serene, for the use. aclunlly. of the local people Inslend of I he Heeling tourists who seldom take time off In their frnnllc haste to cover miles to see tho wayside spots. luicrcsi in uie mue par nas grown steadily over the years. Last yenr, for Instance. Frank F I e o t took a group of Boy Scouts and went up there for a day or two with the idea In mind ol cleaning the trash out of the river. The lads plowed Into the Ice cold water . and skin-dived lor the paper plates, old cans, bottles and other rubbish that thouRhlloss people had tossed Inlo the river. Our thanks, again, to them.

We hope mid trust that It will be maintained, not as a Brow ing and ever expanding project but as a sincere memorial to Jack Kimball aim nil he stood lor and . as a spot where the rest of us can Co to find quiet and peace and beauty. It's a lovely spot.

It Is felt that the new tax will bear quite heavily on the beads of larger famines. Whether a sales tax. defeated seversl times by the voters of Ore gon, would be a more equitable form of taxation Is a matter for debate. Some Oregonlans feel that It would be. In any event. It seems reasonable to predict that the In come tax question will be before the legislators again at the 49th session In 1967. On the national Social 'Security scene the election minded Mth Congress Is likely to devote time to the further liberallratlng of the Fecial Security benefits, reports the Oregon Voter. It Is felt that there Is a need for action to keep the benefit payments In fine with the growing cost of living. The worker who depends on so- clal security for his living after age 65 Is pretty much at the men cy of the lawmakers and the gov ernmental agency from which his payments are apportioned. He is a. member of one of the biggest segments of fixed Income popula- tlon In the country. As such, he Is the first victim of creeping inna tlon such as the country has ex perlcnced since World War II. He doesn't have a union to ne gotiate cost of living Increases in his pay. The administration has worked hard to curb the creeping Inflation In the past few years. If this curbing continues to be fairly suc cessful end the Congress aids the Social Security recipients with more equitable payments, If need ed, the retired workers of the country can rest much easier. On the local political scene the Klamath County Republican Cen tral Committee Is sponsoring It Lincoln Day dinner at the Wlllard Hotel Monday night. The festivities begin with a social hour at 6:45 followed by a dinner. Dsn Thorn ton, former governor of Colorado, will be the speaker of the eve ning. There will probably be many such dinners and speaking events staged by both parties during thin Importnnt election year. To any one interested in politics, and ev oiy voter should be, this promises to be one of tne mosi stirring election years for some time. 3lanag(intnl - By KEN McLEOD ' When a person talks to a mem her of Wisconsin's Conservation Department he becomes amazed at the way all the problems of nat ural resource management become Intermeshed, the sportsman, the lumber man, the farmer yes, even nature lovers and scientific students all find a common ground meeting place within the scope of the department's opera tion. Wisconsin's Legislature discov ered It was a wise move to divorce Itself from detailed attempts to manage the wildlife resources of the state by legislating season reg ulations because when the Legis lature left the problems of man agement to Us Conservation De partment it found time for the consideration of more important basic conservation problems. In Wisconsin, during the past 30 years, the Legislature has done much to improve the slate's con servation program through bills en acted and through an Interim Con servation Committee of the Legis lative Council. A legislature, after all. is the state agency which In tho end es tabllshcs major conservation poli cies, and almost all fundamental poicles under which the various natural resource state agencies op erate are set forth In statutes. At times It appears difficult to draw lines where policy making stops and management begins, however, a careiul study ol any problem easily discloses the facts of policy and tile (acts of management. Most resource battles stem IniRcly from the lack of concise statements of policy, because in such cases we find departments of the state and national government attempting to move in to the policy making field by setting policies that are most lavorablc to themselves. Wiscon sin avoided many oi these hitler natural resource battles by estab lishing Its Conservation Commis sion as a policy making group and a Conservation Department to be concerned with resource manage ment. The Wisconsin record shows leg islative support lor Increased hunt ing and Iislnng license lees which i the sportsmen usually asked lor themselves, additional state forests and parks, lorest crop law pay ments to counties and towns, for est lire prevention, conservation education, land acquisition projects he Hnricon Marsh and Kellle Ire Public as a whole wanted these services tnat the Legislature al persoiv I are included the force ' is over l.aoo There are three for- estry divisions In the department : wnun nas increased troni about J." i people to over 300. It Is noted also that the estimated vilue of WW-1 consul's foicsia ha.s increased by i more than 300 million dollars in th a mj 3n uir rtmrinA the same 30 year period. Programs such as watershed management, pheasant stocking, forestry Inventory, biological re search, public hunting and fishing grounds, deer yard management and rough fish control were un known when the Conservation De- partment was started. In fact, the department's game division was not organized until 1928, four years after the department was started. Now these programs help form the cornerstone of Wisconsin conserva tlon. India Trip By KATHLEEN WARD The flight from Calcutta to Bag dogra took us over some extremely Interesting country and I bad my first look at the sacred River Oan- ges, which was a great thrill for me, as I m making more or less a fetish of the main rivers of the world. The bus ride from Bagdogra to Darjeellng, 57 miles, was living dangerously, in a big way. We climbed steadily, through the ter raced tea farms, on narrow wind ing roads. Missing by inches peo ple, goats, other down-traffic cars and playing tag with a little nar row gauge train that transcends the same route and merrily criss crosses the highway innumerable times. The scenery was breathtaking all the way, but suddenly we rounded a curve and there In all their ma jestic glory were the peaks of the Kanchenjunga range of the Him alaya mountains. This range has 11 peaks which are over 20,000 feet high and they actually dwarf all other mountains, In their grandeur, that I have ever aeen. Darjeellng Is considered, by most Indians as the finest of the hill station towns. It Is situated on the northern fringe of West Bengal and borders on Nepal, Slkkln and Bhu tan, on the western, northern and eastern sides. The population Is mainly of Mongolian and Tibetan stock. There are so many Interest ing sights to be seen here that one needs to have his head on a swivel. The dllference In their headwear alone, la remarkable. One type of cap for Mongols, still another for Tibetans, Nepalese, Lepchaa and Buddhists. They wear warm blankets around their bod ies and go barefooted, in many cases. Through the hotel, I arranged a trip to Tiger Hill (six and one half miles from Darjeellng and practically straight up) to view the sunrise on the Himalayan range. From this unobstructed vantage point, one can see two of the three highest mountain peaks of the world. Mt. Everest, number one. ana Kanchenjunga, number three. Along with several other guests, I left a call for 4:15 a.m. When the knock came. I crawled out of bed and hurriedly put on all the woolen clothing I possessed, for It was bitterly cold. We had a thrill ing ride i In a jeep) In the pitch black darkness to the top of Tiger Hill. Just as we arrived the pink dawn started to glow in the east. Wc were above Ihe clouds and there, was a mauve mist hanging over the deep valleys below us. The phenomenon of seeing Mt. Everest and Ml. Kanchenjunga, along with the other high peaks, glow with color at the impact of the rising sun, was a sight so in spiring, that It actually left me weak with emotion and greatful ncss to the Almighty that I was fortunate enough to be witnessing one of his most marvelous and glorious "spectacles. All I could think of was that I wished, with all my heart, that It could be pos sible for every living person to be experiencing It with me. We were on lop of the hill for an hour and it seemed only minutes, as we were so engrossed with watching the constantly changing colors, as the sun rose. On our return trip, we saw a band of Jackals and asked the driv el1 if there were still tigers In this district, the answer was. nol Today brought another exciting and intensely different adventure. We took a bus to the hill station of Kalimpong. There you really see Ihe true tribesmen of the mountains of Tibet. This station Is near the border of Tibet and the market and bazaar is conducted between Ihe Chinese and the Ti betans. There are two market days a week and we were most for tunate to catch the Wednesday one. It'., truly a revealing sight to see them coming in with their pack animals loaded w-ilh all sorts ol odd objects peculiar to the hill tribes Nose rings, Tibetan caps. ..--.I.., .....4 ...... inlKifltn U'ni irou.- uu IIIWUII great hanks, beads, produce of all I sorts and, in Inct, you Just name It and they seem to have what ever it is. Many of them carry Rrcat burdens on their backs to the market. The ride there and back was another thriller, as you drop from 6.812 feet elevation, here in Darjeellng. to sea level and then shoot back up aaain to Kal empong, which is 4.000 ft. Tills ascent and descent Is made In the matter of Just a few miles and on even narrower roads, (again wind- ing in and out of the terraced tea farms i than I referred to earlier We were literally under the sha dows of Ihe magnificent Hlnia- layas, with Kanchenjunga lgoking , down on us all the way. so thai was diverting and made us less conscious of the somewhat harrow, ing experience of the drive. One important fact I've left out about Darjeellng, It Is the home city of the very famous Indian mountain climber. Tening Nnr ksy, who was one of the two men who successfully climbed the sup- posedlv uncllinbable peaks of Ml Everest. He Is naturally the local ; hero and most famous citizen of Darjeellng 1 Tomorrow I make ihe return journey to C-lcutU and wilt catch SUBSCRIPTION RATES CARRIER 1 MONTH ... t l.M MONTHS .0O 1 YEAR 118.00 MAIL 1 MONTH I 1.60 MONTHS I 7.60 1 YEAR iU.OO i the night train to the Holy City of ' Rimm, Thin wilt ha m,r Ice Mn Benares.

Its outspoken owner has enjoyed as deep respect and con. fidence, likewise as bitter enmity. as has any contemporarv writer on politics and world affairs. That is a proud badge for writer to wear. One who met this wearer of It only casually could gam an impression that he ex emplifies the "cocky" type. If being sure of his facts, and fearlessly defending them through Intimate associations from Moscow and China to Washington from the N.A.M. to racketeer la. borltes if this Is being cockv then the term fits, for he pulls no puncnes. . Yet, at heart, beneath his con fident hide. George Sokolskv Is a humble, religious person: tolerant. devout Jew: ardent, sincere Amer ican and I like him There are people who can't read punchy writing without arguing with the writer; to the point thai the message Is lost In a fog of aisagreemem. rrnev do not i-pnri to become Informed or broadened. They read as Beecher said Inger soli read the Bible to argue with It. The other day they picked So- kolsky up on a stretcher, rushed him to a hospital, diagnosed it a coronary, and put him on a tedi ous routine such as he never had experienced. They left George prone and quiet alone with God. Thats when a fellow, thinks out Just where he rates 'mid his throng of sincere admirers and humbug hangers-on. He's cau tioned not to think at all, still he thinks harder than ever before how small and really lonely he Is; how soon he could be forgotten; how shallow Is the prominence that makes hlin known and not iced. I know, because I've been there. And I watched to see what Oeorge would do with his recess even guessed right. Now George didn't first meet Ood at the hospital threshold. He knew Him. But he had never been left alone with Him so long; never so close to Him. He had never Ig nored God, quoted Him frequent ly, leaned upon Him often. Hard-boiled Sokolsky now had time to tell the world what his friends already knew about him. He wrote, on a pad with a pencil, one of his greatest columns, a sermon that appeared on "anoth er network.'' The last of his almost nightly appearances among the notables that George is likely to make for a long time was at Toots Shor's big blowoul for Arthur "Bugs' Bacr. another grand guy, also on "another network." Just the night oeiore. With that hoorah fresh in his mind. Oeorge wrote: "When one comes close to death, the exag gerations of self seem too silly. So, everybody recognizes you I So. when you go into a restaurant, you get a tabic. You might even got credit at a bank. But what about your credit with God! "Such matters as life and death as strong heart and weak heart as coronarles that blow out like fuses, are in the hands of God.' To make a fetish of a coronary Oeorge wrote, Is like abandoning an automobile because a tire blew out: "There may never be another blowout: also one might live a less Irritating life. There he hit his problem square on the head. Irritating thoughts and enorts Dreed coronarles. Of this he ssld: "Politics must be irritating because it Is not pretty. The men arc small. The ways are vulgar. Honor, respect probity seem to have disappeared.' But there are other things to write, George. I found that out. Your heart is full of them; the sweet, pleasant things you've sel dom written; homey things that can happen to anybody. Tncy won't bruig you medals, nor fame. You've had thai. They Just bring peace. You need that. George concludes: "There have been other eras like tins and they are corrected as men regain hu mility and turn again to God and God s law.
