According to a recent news re lease, the messy job of changing a typewriter ribbon may be a thing of the past. There is on the market today a new ribbon which can be changed without being touched. All you do, according to the release I have, is slip two nlaslic containers into the proper slots and the ribbon is all set to go. This will be good news to oth ers besides secretaries and sten ographers. People like me, lor instance. Despite the fact that I , have mad mv livinn for a sood many years with a typewriter, I still am unable to change a ribbon. I shall Investigate this new possi bility Immediately. Our first complaint about winter was received last Wednesday when Fred Pope blew into town for a visit from his Fort Klamath ranch. The snow and ice have al' ready come to the Wood River Valley, according to him, and a minor bllizard loused up his front lawn before he had a chance to t the leaves raked, I can sympathize. I put off raking the pine needles off my lawn until alter the rains came, and now they're so wet and soggy that there isn't chance. I am quite sure, however, that Fred and myself have lots of company. Speaking of rain, perhaps the theory that has been voiced for a good many years not that the northern half of the continent Is growing warmer may have some soap on It. At least the past few winters have been warmer than normal, and this rain, coming at a time when we could ordinarily expect snow if anything, w o u HI seem to bear out the theory. I don't know hcther I'm entirely In favor of it or not. Having to make a choice be tween rain or snow leaves a man on the horns of a very sharp di lemma.

You were eager to state for the bene fit of the record, not once, but several times, that the reason was not political, but for the sole bene fit of Interested persons who could not make the trip to Wash ington, D.C. to testify before the committee. On the surface that is commendable and we believe that you would not call a Hearing at considerable expense to the tax payer for purely political reasons.

But since the spherical form could not be positively asserted from one such measurement, the khalif caused another to be marie near Cufa in .Mesopotamia. H i s astronomers divided themselves into two parties, and, starting from one given point, each party meas ured an arc of one degree, the one northward, the other south ward. Their result is given in cub its. If the cubit employed was that known as the "royal" cubit, the length of a degree was ascertained within one-third of a mile of its true value. From these measures the khalif concluded that the glob ular form of the earth was established. The khalifate of Al-Mamun (A.D. 813-8321 is spoken of as the Augus tan age of Asiatic learning. He made Bagdad the center of sci ence, collected great libraries, and surrounded himself with learned men. He is reported to have brought into Bagdad hundreds of camel-loads of manuscripts for the extension of the public libraries. in a treaty made with the Greek emperor, Michael III, he stipu lated that one of thc Constantinople libraries should be given to him. Among the treasures he thus acquired was the treatise of Ptol emy on the mathematical construe tion of the heavens. He had it im mediately translated into Arabic, under tne title of "Almagest." Schools were established every where and the superintendence to them was committed with noble liberality sometimes to Nestor ians, sometimes to Jews. It mat tered not in what country a man was born, nor what were his re ligious opinions: his attainment In learning was the only thing to be considered, Al-Mamun had de clared that "they are the elect of God, his best and most useful serv ants, whose lives are devoted to the improvement of their rational faculties; that the teachers of wis dom are the true luminaries and legislators of this world, which without their aid, would again sink into Ignorance and barbarism What a change this attitude was as compared with the Saracean conquest of Alexandria (A.D. 640) when there was no1 interest in sci ence as expressed two centuries later. When Amrou, the lieutenant of the Khalif Omar, conquered Egypt, and annexed It to the Sara cean Empire, he found in Alexan dria a Greek grammarian, John, surnained Philoponus, or the "La bor-lover. Presuming on the friendship that had risen between them, the Greek solicited as a gift the remnant of the great library. AmroU therefore Rant In tha Irha. lif to ascertain his pleasure.

Its plaint gets more at tention in this final pre-election .veeK. And the American public, traditionally chary of big business sees a flood of profit reports to day which underline just how big some Dusinesses are. Is big business squeezing the little firm? Is tight money push ing tne small fellow to the wall? How can Uncle Sam lend a bol stering hand? Where is the divid ing line across which small busi ness becomes big business? Big business denies It hurts small business. It insists, on the contrary, that it needs, supplies and buys from small business that each is mutually helpful.

It would seem that 15 minutes would scarcely be sufficient, but if thai was the only solution faiuwough. We won't argue that. Mr. William Berg, Assistant to Senator Wayne Morse was permitted to read a letter from Senator Morse into the record. Senator Morse was en titled to 15 minutes, but not 50 minutes. Further, the letter was almost entirely- made up of ex cerpts from a report made for the Management Specialists by the Stanford Research Committee with which the Senator concurred and with which the Indians are surely familiar. It obviously was not of great importance to you as you left the room during part of the reading. You will remem ber that two of the Tribal lead ers, namely: Mr. Wade Crawford and Mr. Boyd Jackson were cut off in ruthless fashion by Senator Murray at the end of the allotted 15 minutes as was Mr. S e 1 d o n Kirk. President of the General Council of the Klamath Tribe who was treated in disgusting fashion Was this rehash of the Stanford Research Report of more value to the committee than oral testimony of the peonle affected by this termination? Do you recall Senator, that Dr DcWitt Safford, a representative of the Oregon Council of Churches testified and that you compli mented his group because they had Introduced the "human eie ment into the problem? Dr. Saf ford asked that ten additional minutes be given to Mr. Jackson to finish his testimony as Dr. sal- ford felt it would be of interest and value to his group to hear the remainder of Mr. Jackson s testimony? You assured Dr. Saf ford that Mr. Jackson would be granted additional time. Mr. Jack son was not recalled aitnougn the Hearing adjourned at 4:00 p.m. To summarize. Senator Ncuber- cor Senator Murray left the Hearing at approximately 2:30 not to return. A one man show from there on. .Senator Morse spokes man was granted fifty minutes al though other persons were limited to fifteen minutes. Mr. Jackson was not recalled and the Hearing adjourned at 4:00 p.m. Since the Oregon Man To Go East WASHINGTON I Clifton W, Enfield, chief counsel for the Ore gon Highway Department, is to become solicitor for the Public Roads Bureau as soon as' he can arrange to come East, Secretary of Commerce Weeks announced Sunday. He said Enfield would be ap pointed as soon as he coud ar range personal and business af fairs and could leave Oregon. In the new job he will handle legal matters connected with the new 13-year, 40-billion-dollar gov ernment highway program. Enfield, born in Watertown, N.Y., Nov. 26, 1918, was graduat ed from North Carolina State Col-' lege in 1938 and received a law degree from the University of Vir ginia in 1948. Married and the father of two children, he served in the Army in World War II.

SarnMnn World By KEN McLEOD We have written of the early Christian concept of tho nature of the world, perhaps It may be just as well to look al the Mohammedan of the same era. According to thc Koran, the earth Is a square plane, edged with vast mountains, which serve the double purpose of balancing it in Its seat, and of sustaining the dome of the sky. The faithful held "Our devout ad with it, they are pernicious. Let them be destroyed." Accordingly, they were distributed among the baths of Alexandria, it is said that six months were barely sufficient to consume them. Science writers take this story with a grain of salt but agree that there is little doubt that the destruction was or dered as being useless or because of Its irreligious tendency, IllSt 1.1.M4MI By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK i Some things a columnist might never know if he didn't open his mail (or listen lo election speeches!: That Americas white collar it: higher interest rates hurt them much more since the big boys have more resources to tide them over any squeeze: it's harder for the small fellow to tap the investment market for capital. 2. Operational. Engineers and skilled laborers are attracted to hig concerns: today's competition calls constantly for more research emphasis, and only the" big ones can afford it; and thc research of the big company means new pro ducts and belter techniques, giv ing it a further edge in the future. 3.

(To thc Editor) One would think from the sneer ing attitude shown to those who oppose fluoridation, that they were truly enemies of society, trying to deprive little children of their chance to have good teeth. Won't people please give this so- called "minority group" credit for knowing that fluorine can be given in tablet form or in solution at small cost to anyone who desires it, and in this way can be con trolled as carefully as one would take care of any other prescrip tion. It cannot be controlled carefully through thc public water supply, as is shown from a few remarks made by Dr. Kenneth Oakley, M.D., B S. in a speech which he made before the Kiwams Club in Bend. He said: "Children who drink a great deal of milk do not drink as much water. Families who eat much stew meat and soups will ingest as much as twice the fluorine as a family who eats fried food." Isn't this scheme of putting fluor ine in the public water supply most ridiculous, when one really tnkes time to do a little thinking about It? E. A. Green Lakeview Hwy. class is getting bigger.
