MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 1956 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THREE FRANK JENKINS Editor . BILL JENKINS Managing. Editor Itcforosfni ion By KEN McLEOD Of late years we have heard a lot about reforestation ol private and public lands, the Tree Farm movement and various forms o taxation proposals to stimulate the return of many devastated acres of forest growth. The state of Wis consin has a very Interesting his tory in this subject and one that is worthy of study by every other state. One of the most significant acts of the Wisconsin Legislature and the people of the state was the strong majority support that elfected changes in the state con sitution in 1924 to permit the prac tice of forestry by the state even though It was a work of "internal improvement." Tills permitted the assessment of general property in the state as much as two-tenths of a mill for forestry purposes. The Wisconsin Legislature first authorized a one-tenth mill tax in 1930, and this was Increased to the full amount in 1931. This tax has been a continuous fund from the people of the state .and used to stop the forest fires in the north and central counties, it has supported the state's two million acres of county forests, , perfected the several state forests and pro moted an aggressive reforestation program with millions of seedling trees each year. Over 30 per cent of Wisconsin s conservation fund revenue comes annually from this tax source. All this work Is conducted by the Wisconsin Conservation Com mission whose budget over the past 30 years has Increased about 10 times so that today, for its blen- ' nium operating expenditures for 1955-57 will require 10 million dol lars. Tne majority of this money will be spent lor personnel serv ices, equipment and supplies, nec essary to do the Job of enforcing conservation laws, llgntina- tires. managing lakes and streams, and administering forest nurseries. parks, public hunting and fishing grounds, and other state proper ties. Although this seems to be a considerable amount of money. several things must be taken Into account that have forced the growth of the commission's aotlvl ties. First there is the increasing pressures on all natural resources by greater populations with more leisure for recreation and more demands for finished products. Second, we must consider the re duced value of the dollar in flation, if you please. Third, there is the factor of shorter working hours and other employe benefits set up lor nil state employes, -.including conservation -"--workers. Fourth, there Is greater demands 'for expanded services which can only be met with increased funds. These factors face every state de partment dealing with natural re sources in every state in our un ion. The more mature forests of the state of Wisconsin need protection from fires because a dry year could still result in disaster, but the fire problem has come to as sume a second place, in conserva tion activities because now it is discovered that forest insects and diseases are taking a greater toll than fires and therefore present difficult problems of control. The state is currently working upon an extensive forest inventory which is expected to permit bet ter forest management and like wise benefit wildlife. Wisconsin expects that there will continue to be increased use of the state parks and as a result there is an urgent need for more maintenance and management funds than are now available. Out of this increasing demand of funds has come a con troversy since the state has dipped into funds collected from hunter and fisherman license fees to fi nance the state parks which are used by all citizens. Since 1927 some two million dollars- of game funds have been so diverted at the expense of vital programs of watershed management, public hunting and fishing grounds so now the Legislature Is faced with a problem of finding revenue elsewhere for the parks. Opportunity By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK !tf Opportunity isn't scarce but the ability to recognise it is. When a million-dollar idea pops up, few men nave the art to see its true value and put it to work. This is the story of two Milwau kee lawyers who did. They turned a personal annoyance into a multimillion-dollar business. Back in 1948 Elmer Winter and his partner. Aaron Scheinfeld. found themselves badly in need of an extra typist to prepare papers in a pressing court case. They needed her quickly. "At first we tried calling the old eirls who had worked for us be- fore." recalled Elmer, "but they were all busy having babie. We were in a real jam. It took a lot of scurrying about until at the last moment we linany iouna a gin who could do the Job for us. "Afterward, my partner and I cot to talking about how there must be many business firms which ran into emergencies when they temporarily needed extra trained help and couldn't find it. Yet there must be many people who wanted temporary work of this sort. Why couldn't there be an organization to solve the situ ation?" The two lawyers, after a prelim inary investigation disclosed the market was even greater than they visualized, created Manpow er, Inc. The firm, which now has 11 offices here and in five foreign countries, has built up a labor pool of scores of thousands of (kiUett and unsWTied verier. On Entered as second class matter at the post office at Klamath Tails, Ore., on August 30, 1906, under act of Congress, March 8, 1879 SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OP CIRCULATIONS Serving Southern Oregon And Northern California short notice it assembles and pro-l yides for other companies trained. staffs to do practically any special ized task In the industrial world except construction work. "We aren't an employment agen cy," explained Winter. "We rent help. Our people work for us, and are paid by us." The clients of Manpower, Inc., Including 79 of the nation's 100 largest corporations, range from huge insurance firms, department stores, and Wall Street banks down to a small manufacturer who merely wants a few freight cars unloaded. "We also have furnished disaster crews to help out in hurricane and flood relief work," said Winter. But the odd-jobs firm has also met a number of odd emergency requests. Once a convention of funeral directors sent in a hurry-up call for a girl model to demonstrate a device deslimed to lift a corpse from a marble slab into its coffin. Another time a racehorse died at a Cincinnati track and Manpow er, Inc., was called on to speed a crew there to dig It a grave in the inlield. while sorrowing bettors who had wagered on the horse hung around mourning."' But most of the firm's assign ments are to fill the multifarious chores of business offices, and most of its employes are ex-career girls. "We don't look for teen-agers," said Winter. "We look for mature people trained to do a mature job. "There are thousands of middle aged housewives who have reared their children and who would like to work part time, either because they are bored or because they frankly need the money. There are also thousands of firms .that need temporary employes during peak seasons. We simply bring them together. "We act on a fireman's basis. But one of the things we have stayed away from -is baby sitting. Too many headaches in it. All our employes are bonded, of course. but I don t want to feel responsible for 2,000 little children every night. I've got three of my own to worry about." But Winter, who is only 43, and his partner have just launched a new firm called Salespower, Inc., which will set up sales staffs to market the products of small com panies. "We feel It has an even greater potentiality than Manpower, Inc.," said Winter. - Maybe million-dollar Ideas, like vices, are habit - forming. The trouble with most of us is to get the first one. .,..- Nephritic By EDWIN P. J ORDAN, M.D. "Having recently found out that I have nephritis" writes H.B., "I wonder if you would devote a col umn to it." First, I should like to point out that nephritis is the same thing as Bright s disease, the latter name being applied to honor the famous English physician Richard Bright who contributed so much knowledge to the subject. Nephritis is an inflammatory dis order of the kidneys which may start suddenly after an acute in fection such as scarlet fever, pneu monia, or tonsillitis or may develop more gradually without any signs of acute inflammation, possibly sev eral months after an acute intecr tion or even without any obvious reason. Brlght's disease may get grad ually worse for months or years and destroy more and more of the functions of the kidneys. If only one kidney Is Involved, it may nev er be noticed, but if both are at tacked the condition c,;n be se rious. In acute nephritis the patient us ually feels uncomfortable and may notice some puffiness under the eyes. Swelling of the lower part of the legs, and perhaps even bloody urine, slight fever and chilly sensa tions are common. Nosebleeds, headaches, loss of 'appetite some times appear. The lessened amount of urine and its dark, bloody, or cloudy appearance are character istic. Chronic nephritis starts more gradually, though the symptoms are like the acute variety but less severe. Accumulation of fluid (drop sy or edema) is common. As soon as diagnosis has been made by means of examination of the urine and the blood, treatment should be begun. In acute Brlght's disease, bed rest Is necessary. Diet is important and it is now devised to fit the ability of the kidneys to take care of the food eiten. Many years ago most patients were strictly limited In the salty foods and proteins they could take. To day more liberal allowances of these foods Is sometimes permitted. In the chronic or long-lasting form of nephritis, special attention is given to the accumulation of dropsical fluid. Drugs are frequent ly used to to stimulate the secre tion of the urine or to other meth ods of removing some of the ex cess fluid. Accumulated fluid in sida the abdomen is often drawn off through a needle. ' Because so many of the infec tions which bring on nephritis are now being conquered or shortened by the new treatments, it looks as though chronic Brlght's disease may become less common. Present emphasis should be on attempts at preventing nephritis. Once chron ic nephritis has developed, a pa tient should remain unde,r medical observation and care. It has been stated recently 'that by the intel ligent use of penicillin in the treat ment of streptococcal Infections the frequency of nephritis should da crease. Chronic Crisis By CHARLES M. McCANff United Press Staff Correspondent France a enronic crisis in North Africa has- entered a new phase. Socialist Premier Guy Mollet, confirmed by the national Assem: bly only last Wednesday, is flying to Algeria to look at things there. Hablb Bourgu'ba, nationalist leader in Tunisia, reached agree ment In principle with Mollet in Paris Friday on a program of home rule in that protectorate. Sultan Sldl Mohammed Ben Youssef Is going to Paris Feb. 14 to. negotiate with Mollet on Moroc co. Mollet and his coalition Cabinet have given French North Africa No. 1 priority on the long list of their problems. Algeria comes first in importance among the three North African units. It is evident that, in an attempt to keep North Africa from going the way of Indochina, Mollet Is prepared to make big concessions to burning nationalist spirit. It is an almost desperate situa tion. Unless France can hold North Africa, Its empire now more po litely called the French Union will be virtually wrecked. And France's status as a great world power will be endangered. Whether Mollet and his shaky government can retrieve the sit uation nobody knows. For one thing, the more conces sions the nationalists get in Al geria, Tunis and Morocco, the more they are likely to want. For another. North African leaders with whom Mollet will do business are opposed themselves by nationalists extremists who are still waging a war of violence. There also is a third factor. The French colonists in North Africa are fiercely and sometimes vi olently opposed to any real con cessions to the nationalists. These colonials have powerful support in the French Parliament. A small but well-organized "army of national liberation" is pinning down nearly 200,000 French troops in Algeria. In Tuni sia, Nationalist Leader Blurguiba is opposed by Super - Nationalist Salah Ben Youssef, who has gone underground to wage revolt. In Morocco, Sultan Mohammed can not control the tribesmen who are fighting ferociously against French troops in the mountains. Algeria is the great problem fo Mollet. Tunisia and Morocco are protectorates. Algeria politically is part of France. It Is represented in the French Parliament. If Mol let can bring peace to Algeria, it will be a momentous victory for him. Few probably would be bold enough to bet heavily on his success. Uncertainties By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK W Topping the un certainties that have cast a listless but wary air over the stock market the tast five weeks is the guessing about President Eisenhower s po litical future. Gossip has varied from day to day, g.ving stock trading most of whatever fillip It has ielt. Specula tion on the subject apparently has aimcteo mat nerve center ior lor ward looking, the stock exchange, much more than it has business Itself. Industrial planning - and con sumer trade have jogged along at the same old pace. Perhaps busi nessmen are growing a little tone deaf to the oft-heard chants of the politicians. But other uncertainties even if lntertangled with the fascinating game of picking Gettysburg or the White House as the future address of - the Eisenhowers also play a part in making the stock trader a dun boy. There are uncertainties about the turn the cold war may be tak ing, about the date of the business boom s cresting, about the chance that the theory of government is swinging back from economy to more free spending. - Stock traders have lived too long with the cold war tp be panicked by Its changes, but they do pay them mind. .And' the Bulganin let ters to the President, and the meet ing of Elsenhower and Eden, have raised new questions: Are the Western Allies adopting some of the war of nerves tactics them- selves? Is the Russian peace feeler pure propaganda? How should we evalute the Soviet diplomatic and trade moves in the Far East, the Middle East and Latin America? Congressional debates over the amounts for defense spending and foreign aid compound the uncer tainties in Wall Street's eyes. uncertainties on the domestic front are largely a post-Christmas phenomenon. Business thinking be gan to change about six weeks ago. Before that all the talk was about a bigger and better 1956, with any reservations few and far between. Then business sentiment began to react to the cutback in auto production, the layoffs in that in dustry, and the drop in home building. The fashion now is to be lieve that business In general has so much forward drive that good times will last till summer for sure. Then will come the testing time. Vets Mail ling Long - term aging veteran pa tients, some hospitalized 20 years or more, are being concentrated in special sections of Veterans Ad ministration hospitals for a new program of "all-out" specialized treatment to promote their recov ery or to prevent further loss of body and mind functions. The new so-called intermediate program is underway in 30 VA hospitals and will be expanded to others as rapidly as possible. Dr. William. S. Middleton, chief medi cal director, said. Dr. Middleton explained that the function of the program is to pro- Tide actfra rattier than custodial S'i!BSCcARRffikRATES , month . $ 1 50 MONTHS $ 9.00 1 YEAB '" 18' MATL 1 MONTH 1.50 i year Z7. tu.oo care for those long-term patients in the VA hospital system who no longer need definitive hospital treatment, cannot return home, and lack the capabilities necessary for the new planned-living program in VA domiciliarles. Specially qualified staffs interest ed in the care of such patients as well as regular staff are re quired to man these sections, Dr. Middleton said. For each long-term patient In ine section, a planned mainten ance rehabilitation program is in stituted to retain the benefits of hospital care already given and to prevent the development of disa bilities resulting from physical in activity, Dr. Middleton said. Moreover, he added, the section staff will gear a planned activity program to each patient's capacity and need for recreational, spirit ual and social activities to pre vent mental regression and social isolation. Study indicates that 4.282 long term patients in VA hospitals now meet the criteria for these special ized sections in general medical and surgical hospitals and that 3,917 domiciliary members also are eligible and could be bene fitted by the increased medical care. Dr. Middleton said the problem of oaring for the aging and chronically ill patients in VA hos pitals has been under special study for several years. The need to develop suitable long-range plans to cope with this problem is inherent in the present veteran population of 22 million according to Dr, Middleton, since a considerable number will even tually require long-term hospital care. He said 584.000 veterans now are 65 years of age, but only five years hence the number is expect ed to exceed 1,780,000. The average age of the 110,000 veterans in VA hospitals is 48, in comparison with the average of 38 years for the veteran population as a whole. About 10,000 VA pa tients are over 65. Also to be considered in rela tion to the problem of aging vet-! erans is the chrontclty of disease and its effect on length of hospital stay. Dr. Middleton said. He ex plained that approximately 34.000 of VA's current load of 110,000 patients have been hospitalized for more than five years, with some 9.000 of the 34,000 having been hos pitalized for 20 years or more. Q. I am going to school less than half-time under the Korean GI Bill. What will be tho amount of my monthly GI allowance pay ments? A. You mtv receive either lit the established charges for tuition and fees paid by non-veterans for the course, or (2) a pro-rated! amount based on $110 a month! for a full-time course whichever is less. Fluoridation Klamath Palls, (To the Editor) In connection with the letter sent in by M. L. Rogers I would like to say so what if iluoridation does nothing more than help teeth don't we want our children to have sound teeth instead of fillings and vacant spots where they have lost teeth? As for the assertion that the Lord gave us water without fluor ide, there are many places where He did put fluoride in the water. Fluoride may only benefit a few but for those it won't help it cer tainly won't hurt. I, for another, don't want my water "pickled," for the defini tion is "a salt and water solution for preserving." Fluoride has NO odor or taste. National health organizations have endorsed fluoridation, among them: American Dental Associa tion, American Public Health As sociation, U.S. Public. Health Serv ice, to name only a few. Only recently the State Supreme Court upheld fluoridation in Bend, so it can't be unconstitutional. I am only one of many people Interested in having our water fluoridated. Let's hear from the rest of you. I Lorraine MacPhall By UNITED PRESS WASHINGTON Sen.
