I I jnv Hori1! And TImtw By BILL JENKINS Charlie Zumwalt passes along the tale that at he was coming back to Klamath Falls from Reno on Monday nmht he and his com panions ran Into a real me6s oi deer on the highway between here and Canny. Around the Saddle Blanket Flat road, to be exact. It was late at night and dark. but Charlie says the deer, includ- lng many lawns, were shiftlnc back and forth over the road, head ine; back Into the cover ot the rim and milling around by the nun drcds. I have a couple of other sources to check but so far have been unable to contact them. But I am given to understand that there are still a lot of deer left in the coun try and that we need have no Im mediate worries that the herd has been wiped out. More on that subject when I can locate a few more people who have reports to make. Which leads me to remark that Clair Engle Is still leading the fight In congress to stave off fur ther inroads nn public domain by the armed forces. More power to him. As nearly as we can find out right at present the Interior De partment has full control over the public domain for Its own pur poses, but docs not have such au thority when another department wants to take over an area. In the event of any disagreement be tween Interior and other depart- ments the thing is settled by the President through the budget bu reau. I deplore the necessity of setting up another government bureau, they being harder to kill than a snapping turtle, and hope that wc can find some equitable solution to the present problem without having to resort to these special departments. But, one way or another, we've got to keep on top ol the situation and see to It that all available land outside our backyards Isn't yanked out of productive use and turned Into a bombing range and or private preserve for the armed forces. Which reminds me again that at least one protest has been filed In the proposed annexation of two small Islands In the Upper Lake to the reserve. Based. I am told. on much the same theory. The Islands themselves aren't Import ant one way or the other, but the Idea of more and more land being taken out ot public use Is repug nant to too many. And, still on the subject of game and other matters, I can report that the system of trading of gamei animals from area to area is still going at a good pace. And good Idea. too. A recent report from the Fish and Wildlife Service tells us that Colorado has traded mountain sheep to Montana in exchange for some of that state's mountain goats. South Dakota swapped surplus catfish to Colorado for turkeys. New Mexico sent eight turkeys to south Dakota for 35 sage hens In return. And more New Mexico turkeys went to Wyoming for a small band of elk. Not to mention that last year or such a matter of time British Co lumbia furnished a small band ot bighorn sheep for the Hart Moun tain refuge over In Lake County. Other examples cover such di versified fields as restocking many antelope ranges, trading various kinds of fish back and forth and going tar alleld to procure some species ot European game birds lor Introduction Into this country. Remember how well the China pheasant did in tills country? VViih programs ot this sort I'm 11 in favor. Thai's my Idea of spending tax money In the right direction and will certainly receive my wholehearted support. 'Nutf for today. lutliaii I it'll 1 r By KEN MeLEOD There's an old cliche "The first hundred years Is the hardest " which does not exactly npply to the European Invasion ot iho red nian's domain the New World. The first hundred years was onlv beginning In Ihe buttle between the red mnn and the while. One ould think, however, that out of this century ol slrlle there would stride an imposing group of U-gen. onry characters ol while men but tins was not the case. It Is not until we come to Daniel limine a comparatively laic rommer. Hint we bourn our list of legendary characters. This month. Charles B Roth of the Denver Westerners has some interesting points in iheir Round up" upon this subject and upon the development of the plain-man. "When we deal with the West." wines Roth, "we deal with a myth It is a lusty nivlh. as strung.' as beguiling, as immortal ns any that came out of Rome and Greece i( you ask me. the myth of the West i3 about 10 times as interesting be sides." Roth finds, like every student ol historical research discovers, "if you could have a true day-lo-dav picture of the Old West,' you'd probably be bored by the Minirncs of It and, except on rare occa sions, the lack of adventure Thrre'd be no fun studying Western history. The leavening influence of the hig myth, however, has made the West thr most fascinatinc thing In the world. It has made it also the most unreliable, for who now. even though the vestiges ot the frontier are scarcely 50 years re moved, csn exactly distinguish be tween what look place and what some liar said did?" To have a good mvth. however.) cue must have a bud auch ai wai produced by Greece and Rome however, today he goes under the modern title of either publicity agent or public relations counsel Back in the early days of our nation. Washington Irving toyed with the idea but did not work too diligently at the task. Roth has this explanation In re- gard to the development of the plainsman "It all came through ine energy and activity of one man Do I need to Identify him? He has to be Ned Buntline. born In New York State, in 1823, as Ed' ward Zane Carroll Judson. on night, according to one of his bi ographers, "that was wild and fearful to behold, when the flood gates of heaven opened wide and added to the fury of a tremendous electric storm of such power as to make spectators tremble." Jud son s whole life matched his natal night: it was turbulent, fearful, tremendous. "I'll skip dates and details, which are unimportant, and go on to Jud' son the mythmakcr. "Judson was Ihe Thomas A. Edison of literature, and his inven- tion was the dime novel, the enemy of Western historians. To prove he believed in his invention. Judson wrote 400 dime novels. But one or two would have been sufficient to set the big lie about the Old West into swift lasting motion." Fate moves In various ways and according to Roth It took a turn in 1869 "when Buntline, or Judson (let's call him Buntline), visited Fort McPherson, Nebraska, search ing lor a new character who would catch and hold the fancy of those Interested In the West, found what he was looking for. He had his bead on a quiet, reserved, 'smallish man who had Just emerged as a hero in the Indian wars, Major frame Norm. "But North was difficult. He didn't want to be a hero In any novel, so he turned a cold shoulder on the idea, a cold thumb toward a nearby wagon, and some cold words in the direction of Buntline 'The man you want," said he, 'is under that wagon." " The man under the wagon was an obscure but fairly competent young scout named William F. Cody. "One look at the young scout" writes Roth, "and Buntline felt that God was on his side. He saw in this handsome, slim youngster the new hero America was dying to take to Its bosom." ItciicM-f ion By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (Pi Curbstone reflections ot a pavement Plato One way to be happy In this life Is to pick your own tensions and learn to enjoy them. This is a tense century. Tension has become one of the busiest words in the American vocabu lary. The current issue of Newsweek magazine, a notable article on the subject, estimates that 25 per cent of the nation s industrial force Is emotionally upset and frustrated, and puts the annual cost In lost wnges, medical bills and damaged machinery at three billion dollars. Some toll I The waste from this kind of tension would build 250.000 homes costing $12,000 each. Not Just one year. Every year. Frlghtlul as this estimate Is, It Is no indictment of tension in Itself. Tension is as essential to the nor mal human body as It is to the lunctloning of a rubber band or a watch spring. Without tension life would be as dull and monotonous as a piece of string. The basic trouble with our times Is lhat we have let our tensions run wild, like a bedstrlng thai suddenly bursts its moorings and goes "boing, bolng, bol-l-l-ng!" There arc two kinds of tensions the good and the bad. A good ten sion, such as one we Ret from plavlng a game or watching a well-acted drama, is followed by a feeling of both physical and emo tional release. The tension relieves itself; wc end up relaxed. A bad tension, such as the kind we build up while pursuing an im possible goal or doing something we know Is foolish Hike chasing our iriena s wne), only tangles our emotions deeper. We tie ourselves Inextricably In knots of our own devising. Tliereloie we have no one to blame but ourselves. i How many ol our tensions are caused because wr let our neigh bors or our env y of our neigh bors determine our own ambi tions' Just because Jones went Into debt and worried himself into an ulcer buying a big car he couldn't ailord. Is it really necessary loi ns to buy a bigger car, go deeper into debt, and wind up with a don ble ulcer? Where Is Ihe reward in mat kind ot tension? Our ow n intantile attitude Inw ard I what we think we want In lite is I al-o a major source ol Ihe wrong kind of tension.

If it Isn't, give it up and switch to a new tension and see if you don't feel better. AiiM'iialment By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON is Sen. Bricker R-Ohto and a number of backers have itched for years to get a con stitutional amendment limit ing the power to make foreign treaties and executive agree ments. Slapped down before when Pres ident Klsenhower opposed them they're trying again. Sen. Dlrksen (R-llli, with Brok er's blessing, now propoi.es a con stitutional amendment which, ai tirst glance, seems almost point less. Read closely, It locks loaded with trouble. The Constitution from the begin ning has had a provision against, a president s making a treaty un less two-thirds of the Senate ap prove. , But a president can make for eign agreements without Senate ratification. Eisenhower has done It. So have his White House pied eCessors. An agreement can have the effect of a treaty but when it is called by the name of agree ment It doesn't need two-thirds Senate approval. Still, Congress has some control over that too. If money is needed to carry out an agreement. Con gress can refuse to vote the mon ey. Bricker has said he doesn t wor ry about Elsenhower's doing any thing wrong. But he and his sup porters argue that unless even tighter restraints are written Into the Constitution the couptry may run Into bad days. The reasoning goes like this: someday, deliberately or stupidly, a president may make and the Senate may approve a treaty or agreement injurious to the nation or its citir.ens. Bricker's critics argue that he and those who go along with him seek to tamper with the Constitu tion, may do more damage than good, and hamstring the Presi dent's handling of foreign affairs. Bricker first made his sugges tion in 1951 when President Tru man was in the White House. The proposal came to a vote in Febru ary 1954. Almost at the last moment El senhower came out flatly against Bricker's plan. The senator's sup port weakened. The Senate de feated his amendment. In 1955 Bricker started plugging again. This week Dlrksen pro duced his version of the Bricker Idea. The Senate Judiciary Com- iiiibvec nppiuvea mis one wiuioui hearings and passed It on to the Senate for action. Under the Constitution, as II stands now. If the Supreme Court had to decide whether a treaty was In conflict with the Constitu tion, it could consider the Consti tution as a whole. But the Dlrksen amendment says: "A provision of a treaty or other international agreement which conflicts with any provision of the Constitution shall not be of any force or effect." The key words are: "with any provision." They raise such ques tions as this: How could a future president or Senate ever appiove treaty with any confidence if they had to worry whether it was in conflict with some constitution al provision not even thought of at the time. Almost certainly it would open Uie door to endless fights seeking Supreme Court interpretations, for the Constitution is big document. Surgery Progress By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. Few of us go through an entire lifetime without being the subjects for surgery or having someone close to us requiring an operation. The progress vvhirh surgery has made in the past 50 years or so is remarkable. Many new areas of the human body like the chest, the brim, and the heart have been opened to surgical procedures to cure disease or relieve suitcrmg. The eftcctiveness and the safely of all forms of surgery have been greatly improved and ex tended. There are many factors which have entered Into this progress. Among them, of course, are someji great advances In technical methods of performing operations and in skill and naming of thr surgeons who do them. Such measures as the giving of blood during an onerntlon. the care ot the patient after the operation. and ihe preparation of the patient, belore the oprration have played! vVASUIN'C.TON President Els a large part In the advance jenhower to I.

In the editorial it was pointed out that those about to undergo suigery are helped If what is about to happen to them is explained in advance, for example, the purpose of injections, the number ot them why fluids should be drunk in quantities or not at all, the area. to be shaved, the value of breath ing exercises in some cases, the appearance of the operating room and many things of that sort. All in all. most modern surgery carries less risks, less discomfort. and more chance of bringing re. lief than ever before. Al III ii dp Tulelake. Calif. (To the Editor) The case of the ailing bull lhat ap peared recently In this dept. is typical of the anti-scientific atti tude prevalent in the U.S. today The misfortunes of this animal are taken as the yardstick to measure the benefits or non-bene fits of fluoridation of public water systems. This m view of the fact that since 1908 it has been observed that people living In areas where fluorides occur naturally in the water supply have a remarkable low incidence of tooth decay, that it has been studied and approved by the American Medical Associa tion. The National Research Coun cil. The American Dental Assoc.. the U.S. Public Health Service and others. Fluoridation is the practical ap plication of scientific knowledge to a problem. Its failure to be recog nized in some communities is not due to factors stemming from scientific research, which are all In its favor, but to the improper approach, presentation and educa tion of the public by responsible officials.
