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.

sions, the lack of adventure
Thrre'd be no fun studying Western

Back in the early days of our

Roth has this explanation In re-

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'

"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."

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

If you feel yourself acquiring an

then look in the mirror and ask;
yourself:

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

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.
