I must report an almost total lack of success. I suppose that a man who has failed so miserably In his task deserves to be hauled up before the supreme tribunal of the bird watchers guild and stripped of his uniform. Have his buttons snipped off, his badge or rank ripped from his sleeve and be sent Into the howlinK wilder ness sans book, binoculars and sanction. But somehow I enn face my fate . with a light upper lip and scarce a tear on my cheek. Because all of a sudden I've dis covered that I'm not a bird watch er at all but a watcher of birds. And there is a great span be tween the two. Over the years I've had occasion to talk to a good many bird watch ers, some of them serious, some in the business only because they can't afford anything else for eith er moral or financial reasons. And most ol them have taken the same turning that makes a man a schol ar Instead of a poet. They have, by and large, be come . so engrossed with their books,' with their charts, their eth nological gropings and problngs that they have become blinded to the tnie, clean beauty of birds. Every child Is born with wlnga In his soul, i -doubt If there lives a man or woman so hardened on one hand or so Jaded with beauty on the other, who can look at a swooping bird, follow the questing flight of a gull or ponder the end less soaring of a scavenger bird without feeling an Inward sense of beauty, of balance, of freedom and of longing. And that's Just why I have stepped out of the ranks of the true bird watcher. I Just can't keep a record book, which all serious ones seem to, as to place, date, time, species, conditions and find ings and observations. All I can do is stand and watch and wish In my heart that I. too. were as free to go and come; that 1 had that magical ability to peep Into the hUiden tops of trees, nerch on a hiah branch above a bruth pile and see what went on in the male below me. I can't look at a soar ing hawk !n the evening wlUiout wishing; that I, too, coulrl ascend hlpher and higher and higher to iouow ine setting sun over one more ridge of mountains. Or see a lern speeding along the shore of the lake and not yearn to follow his patn ns he darts in and out. followinR the coves and bays and rock piles along the line where land and water meet. I guer.s I'm Just not business like enouRh to be a rcRl first class bud watcher. I Just can't seem to eel all heated tip over whether the oira j m looking at Is red breasted towhee or an evening grosebenk. I'm more Interested in watching the bird Itself. In seeing what it will do next. All my record book ever had entered In It was a couple of shop ping lists ana a lew smudged tear stains. , More power to the bird watch ers. But count me out. I guess i in jusi a nrennier at heart. Ad Week Advertising sells products and services, but It also sells new Ideas bout products and services. For instance, several generations ago every housewife made her own soap. Advertising convinced the public that soap produced by a manufacturer was even better and certainly more convenient. A cake cf soap today, bought from a store, costs less than only the Ingred ients would cost to make it at home. " Only a l?w years ago, cake, cookie and pie mixes were new. Women who took pride in their baking scoffed at the idea. But ad vertising convinced the women of America that ready mixes are economical, convenient and equal in quality to home-mixed Ingred ients. As a result, many homes enjoy cakes and pies that wouldn't otherwise, for every homemaker Isn't a good baker. The same story is repeated over and over again. Frozen foods, ball point pens, electric shavers and dozens of other new products have been started on the road to gen eral acceptance by advertising. All these are new ways of doing old things, and advertising pointed ou the Improvements. These examples also point un an other service of advertising keep ing prices down. Advertising gains acceptance for products and cre ates a mass demand. Then It spurs competition between manufactur ers to meet that demand. Mass production and competition mean lower prices. According to the Advertising As sociation of the West, the organ ization that sponsors Advertising Recognition Week, these are the reasons for the week's theme, "Ad vertising helps you live better for less." represented by the Hudsons Bay Company "Aiways in the Far North, that is the heart of the while community, which has usual ly grown up in this order; first the trader, then the missionary, then the government.

"I Ihotight lo advertise thee, saying, buy it belore the inhabitants and tne elders of my people idol." These are some ol the hllle known laets about advertising be ing brought out this week, as ad vertising clubs :md tither orcama lions in the held celebrate "Ad vertising Recognition Week " Nol loo much is known ahoul ad vertising in Greek and Rinnan days, but discoveries in annem ruins point to the fact that at least its basic principles were practiced. The familiar three golden balls out side a pawnbroker's shop, prob ably the oldest extant advertising symbol, dales from the Middle Ages.

Allhough Advertising la a multl bilhon dollar business, it costs the consumer almost nothing. On most products, the cost of advertising is a small fraction of a cent ier package, too Utile for a price change If it were cut out entirely. ' Advertising tells Ihe public what Is available, where it Is available, how much It ensis and what it can do for the purchaser. Arctic By KEN McLEOD Should you be Interested In a modern picture of aboriginal life then the book "The Face of the Arctic" by Richard Harrington IHcnry Schuman Inc. 1952) will be exceedingly helpful to you. Har rington, a distinguished Canadian cameraman, became interested In the vanishing aboriginal life of the Eskimo and had the urge to por tray this llle before It was com pletely engulfed by modern day civilization. His book Is the pro duct of five trips to the Canadian Far North on which he traveled more than 3.000 miles by dogteam. sharing the life of the Eskimo and living In caribou skin tents and Igloos. In 1847 he lived with the Chip- I'ewyans of northern Manitoba; In 1IM8 he traveled along the greater portion of the eastern shores of Hudsons Bay; in 1949 he accom panied a Royal Canadian Mounted Police constable on a patrol of Ihe sparsely Inhabited lauds of .the Coppermine Eskimo, in 1950 he visited the Padlelmluts in the land of the Liltle Sticks; In 1951 he mode his Journey farthest north, to Boothia Peninsula. His book deals largely wilh his Wst three Journeys providing a pic ture of the Arctic in the season of winter darkness, and the miracu lously beautiful season of eternal sunlight. The story at limes is grave, sometimes gay. he saw star vation among the Piidleimiuts that presents a harrowing picture ol lamine. On another Journey to Boothia Peninsula he witnessed Ihe enchantments of the Arctic spring and mingled with the people In their sports and games. Harrington s photographs are among the finest that have ever come out of the Arctic where Uie obstacles to good photography are many. At sub-zero temperatures cameras freeze and lenses blur. In the wilder season of darkness, the dim light of a snowy landscape blots out contours. In the summer season of continual level sunlight, Ihe glare on snow and lee presents another dillliulty. Harrington somehow has overcome these ob stacles and his pictures speak for themselves. Traveling for months on end with Eskimos and sharing all their pleasures and haidships of life he depicts these people in their nat ural attitudes. We are therefore able lo visualize what life Is like there, and to share Harrington's admiration for an indomitable peo ple. In addition lo Eskimo life, the reader sees what Arctic life Is like for while people. We sleep on hard benches of Isolated Roman Catho lic missions, never belore visited by an outsider. We meet an Angli can missionary veiling his widelv scattered parishioners, and talk vwth while trappers who have lived in solitude lor :o years. Haiiiiigion s work is a warm and human account about the cold norm, not a scientific irrmis nm one of special pleading. It Is the record ol a sensitive cameraman, in love with Ihe Arctic, who pic tures a unique people, still living In a sione-age culture while the airplane begins to soar overhead There are many aspects of Har rington's book thai could as easily i "i'i'i 10 our local scene when the j culture of ihe white man first met . the culture ol the Indian He saw trade transactions being made in I Ihe veiy same fashion ifc-v wcrr I inaoe over a hundred years ago ' in uie .vonhwest country.

I Any young man who thinks admission to the new U.S. Air Force Academy here is an easy step toward a soft life in the armed forces gets a quick dis illusionment. Only the hardy survive. Of the 308 cadets selected last summer from 6,300 applicants to Join the first class of the -nation's third service academy 41 have al ready been washed out. ' The reason most of them left: The going was simply too rugged, the discipline too spartan. The survival rate actually so far has exceeded the expectations of academy officials, who deliberate ly have planned a four-year course of study tough enough to strain the stoutest. They aren't interest ed In creating a corps of swivel chair warriors. Each cadet signs a statement that upon graduation as a navigator-observer he will go on and become a pilot. As Lt. Oen. Hubert R. Harmon, academy superintendent, points out: "Today a single officer In the U.S. Air Force may be called upon to carry out a mission which, dur ing World War II. would have re quired the crews of a thousand planes. That officer must have the courage, the character and the pa triotism to press home his mission against any and all odds. He may have to do this alone in the skies with no other American within thousands of miles to observe his conduct." What kind of a boy aspires to become this type of officer? The average cadet here is 19 years old, serious-minded, a good student, ana comes irom miaaie class parents. Comparatively few spring frorri families with a pro fessional military background. He may not be of varsity athletecall ber, but he will be In top physical condition and he has 20-20 vision. Almost every minute of their day Is rigidly controlled, from the time they rise at 5:50 a.m.. and make their beds until "lights out" at 9:30 p.m. They march to and from classes, and practically everywhere else. They spend at least 20 hours a week In class, more than that pre paring their lessons. Among the arts they are expected to learn: how to deal a deadly Judo blow effectively, how to dance grace fully. At dinner table they practice Air Force lingo, and each cadet In turn acta as table pilot, navi gator, or crew chief. When the coffee reaches the table, for ex ample, the navigator may an nounce : "Sir. the JP-4 (coffee) has com pleted lis cross-country and Is on the ramp." Or: "Sir, the fuel injection iwoter) has met its ETA and Is on the ramp." The cadets have an honor code which Is unbelievably strict and to which they are fanatically loyal, as they enforce it them selves. Its main tenet is. undevi atlne. adherence to Ihe truth. One cadet who stepped across the hall to borrow some tobacco quibbled when asked by an offi cer If he had permission to leave his room. After the 12-man Cadet Honor Council Investigated his case, they asked htm to resign from the academy. He did. The cadets can date twice a week, bul diirine: Ihe first year Pa), described lobbying at the end of the inquiry as a "billion-dollar Industry." A report by his committee dis closed that 152 corporations spent $32,124,835 on "activities relating to attempts to Influence legislation between 1947 and 1950" although they had reported only (750.000 un der the Lobbying Act of 1946. Thir ty companies refused to tell what they spent.. Congress did nothing then lo make the Lobbying Act stronger. There are a lot of defects In the present law but the basic one seems to be this: Congress re quired lobbyists to register with Congress but did not appoint any Individual or group to police the law and the lobbyists. Emotionalism By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK I Emotionalism rules the stock market these days. Traders try to guess which way President Elsenhower will decide about running again. And Investors try to decide how much, if any. his decision would affect the slate of business in the .long run. Some expect a wide swing up ward in stock prices if the Presi dent's decision is "yes." And they look for a sharp sell-off if his an swer Is "no." Others hold that such a Jump either way in the market would be purely emotional and, therefore, temporary. They Insist that the market perched rather nervous ly near the peak of Its long bullish upirena will in tne final analysis be influenced by the outlook for business. And they contend that so many factors are involved in business prospects that the election uncer tainties although admittedly Im portant aren't likely to be the determining reason for brr!"W moving on upward or dipping a little as the year progresses. Wsll Street prices, however. have been swinging widely as traders look for hints as to which way the President will decide. In an election year lt Is difficult to keep emotionalism out of the stock market. Yet brokers point out that of late many of the big investors including the various funds have pretty much taken to the side lines. They are leaving emotionalism to the short-term traders who Jump in and out of the market as the public changes its mind as to which way the wind la blowing In Thomasville, Ca. The big Investors' position is put this way: If there Is a sharp sell-off after the decision In announced, there will, be bargains to be had. If, on the other hand, the decision sets off an upswing, lt may prove temporary, and In the . readjust ment the big Investors will have chances to pick up the kind of stocks they want at prices they" ap prove. Meanwhile, they stay out of a market as emotions) as this one. "Paper Tiger' By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Staff Correspondent That Southeast Asia "Paper Tiger." as the Chinese Communists call it, shows signs of coming to life. "Paper Tiger" is what the Reds call the eight - nation Southeast Asia Defense alliance. It was signed In Manila on Sept. 8. 1954. Its members are the United States, Great Britain. France. Australia, New Zea land, the Philippines, Thailand and Pnkistan. The alliance is called officially the Southeast Asia Treaty Organ ization. Unlike the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in EilYopc, II has no standing military lorce. II has been, as the Chinese Reds are restricted lo the base, except saV- a P"!""1" alliance only durinp narenlnl visits. Thev are I expected to abstain from liquor completely until graduation. I.ohliv l'i'lns Bv JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON l.-PI In the 'past 102 vears Congress has investigat-1 exercises held on little Iw-o Jtma But broadcasts by the Red Pciping Radio show that the Com munist government is displeased over two recent developments. These are the maneuvers held off the coast of Thailand last week by small forces ol six of the "Seato" nations and the Impres sive American atomic warlare ed lobbying seven times. The re sult' a lot of bad publicity for lobbyists but no law to control them. Now Concress seems ready to start an eivhth investigation. There is a law requiring lobby ists here to register with ConRiess and report on Ihelr spending. II did not result from an Investiga tion. It was passed without much examination in'19-tfi when Congress was reoiRaniriiig itself. There Is nothing illegal or wrong about lobbying. Kvery individual or group has a right to try to get I Congress to pass ihe kind of lest ' Islation II wants. But lobbying can cross over into the corrupt class by the way money is used to In fluence voting. This is an election year and whether this new Inquiry does a real Job or shadow-boxes depends otf Japan ending yesterday. There is to be a conference of the Seato countries in Karachi Pakistan, starting Mnrch 6. Secre tary ol Slate John Foster Dulles will lead the United States delcsra tion. Reports from Far Eastern capitals forecast that some dele gations will make a strong bid for the formation of some kind of permanent, ready for - action military force The advisability of bringing Nationalist China.

Indian Educational Record Set In Pacific Northwest Indian educational and relocation programs established new records from the Pacific Northwest during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1955. Don C. Foster, area direc tor. Bureau of Indian affairs, re ported today. Irrigation, road build ing and forestry activities on In dian reservations were maintained at a high level, the bureau's report to the secretary of Interior indicated. Indian children enrolled in pub lic, federal, mission, vocational and private schools In the region to taled 6.229. A special Navajo pro gram of 500 pupils at the Che mawa Indian school. Salem, Ore., added an enrollment of 50 Nava jo students, an increase of 50 for the fiscal year and 236 over 1954. This Increase was made possible by making arrangements for pub lic schools to take many ol tne Pacific Northwest children en rolled at Chemawa. Arrangements made by the bu reau with state educational author Itiea in Oregon provided speciol adult educational courses directed to help members of the Klamath and western Oregon tribes to earn livelihood, conduct their own af fairs and assume responsibilities as citizens without special serv ices from the bureau. A 60 per cent contribution of $206,880 was made by the bureau during the fiscal year for construc tion and equipping ot new public school facilities at Chiloquin to provide for Indian and other chil dren alike. Special voluntary relocation pro grams designed to aid Indians .In moving from their reservations to better employment -areas and aid in finding Jobs and housing showed excellent acceptance during its first year's experience. This spe cial terminal readjustment, voca tional training and relocation pro gram assisted 65 Indian trainees from Klamath and western Oregon tribes to relocate off the reserva tion, while 169 persons in 55 family groups and 63 unattached men and women were assisted in establish ing themselves off the reservation in two special programs. Approximately 1500 acres of Pa cific Northwest Indian londs were provided with Irrigation and drainage- facilities during the fiscal year and construction surveys were started toward irrigation of an ad ditional 21,000 acres. Preliminary surveys and investigations are un der way to provide flood control for approximately 10.000 acres and irrigation facilities for 28.600. Reservation road maintenance programs for the year included surface maintenance, snow remov al, flood damage repairs and bridge repairs on 948 miles of regu lar maintenance and 2.240 miles of occasional maintenance for bu reau roads. The Indian bureau graded and drained 22 miles of reservation roads, surfaced 43 miles and constructed 122 running feet of bridges. The bureau's Pacific Northwest forestry branch supervised cut ting of 471.000,000 board feet of In dian timber with a value of $8,500, 000 for calendar year 1955. Contracts were entered into with Washington, Oregon and Idaho for state agricultural extension and home demonstration offices to take over projects formerly handled by workers under the program assist the Indian in adopting better farm practices, improving crop varieties, controlling Insect and plant dis eases, bettering soil conditions by fertilizing programs, and produc ing better livestock. Excellent progress was reported In carrying out provisions of the 1954 laws providing for termina tion of federal trusteeship for the Klamath tribe of Oregon and num erous bands and groups In west ern Oregon.
