By BILL JENKINS Outer space and the potentiali ties therein are (till looming large in the world picture today despite the sullen silence of Sputnik and the gruesome wall of silence muf fling US progress in the interstel lar field. Most of this interest hinges on the gloomier aspects of specula tion ranging all the way from fears that the Russian missile may suddenly rain fiery death down on our heads to the slightly more op timistic hopes that there may be fertile soil somewhere out where the stars lie. But whatever the attitude there is much interest. It is beginning to look more and more us if the day of the pioneer was almost upon us again. These modern day pioneers will differ from the classic picture only In that they will dress in plastic space suits and wear (presumably) glass bub bles over their heads Instead of turning out in greasy buckskins and sporting a coonskin cap or woolen hat. The Initiative will be the same; that of finding new sround. I suppose there will be one oth er small change, too. It is highly likely that the government boon doggles and bureaucrats will be in on the ground floor of this new discovery era with greater alac rity than was possible In the days of covered wagons and ox teams. But there are cheerful aspects to consider if we will but give them a rieeting thought. Perhaps we can find some close-in planet with enough dry storage space to put our ever growing reserves of grain, butter and eggs. The gold of Fort Knox, worthless since uncle Sam cornered the market and buried it, can possibly be used to letter spaceway markers and the grounds turned Into a housing unit. An even brighter prospect would be the discovery of a planet free from ragweed and other flora which causes so much misery to the hay fever sufferers. Relief from this miserable affliction would, I am firmly convinced, In duce hordes of victims to migrate. We might even stumble across some blob of earth and stone float ing around out there in the vast ncss of space where the common cold was unknown. If such a thing happened I sup pose it would mean setting up rigid quarantine regulations when it came to peopling the area in or der to protect this germ-free sta tus. But it would at least be a step in the right direction. But, best of all, space explora tion holds the only hope of salva tion of mankind and the world as we know it today, because sooner or later, either through the agency of the wartime cobalt bomb or the bumbling mistakes of some muddle-headed scientist, we are going to blow the earth to smash. In view of this rather obvious fact I have come around to think ing that it might be well to give serious consideration to staking out claim on some far away star as a future hideout from this cat aclysmic upheaval as well as from the ever growing tensions of a push button world. After all, judging from the num bers of stars one can sec on any reasonably clear night it appears quite certain that there will be room enough for all In this big new real estate development. One for Russia, one for us and so on. Nope, 1 guess the whole thing is all right. Besides, if enough people speed off to new worlds there may be enough room left on this one granting that It is "jll here to afford parking space and" bettor quail hunting. So let's go ahead and pioneer space. In fact, you go. I'm frank io admit that Ml feel much safer staying here rather than trusting my fate to any rocket-to-the-moon expedition. Besides which, I'm not a good traveler. points away from being in Class 8, The point demerits were as signed in this manner: Water 672, fire 028, alarm system 334, police 15, fire prevention 97, bunding department 68, struc tural condition of buildings 363, and miscellaneous 110, Water service showed a 27 point improvement from the last survey, due to additional hydrants and improvements in pumping capacity. Fire department showed an Im provement of nine points. They added points with the improve ment of procedures and training, and radio in fire vehicles, but lost points on the condition of an old ladder truck. Fire alarm system Improved some 30 points on the strength of a new switchboard panel, and the improvement in the maintenance of records. . The police department showed an eight point Improvement on the strength of their personnel now reporting any new construction go ing on in tne city. Fire prevention section showed a six point improvement, on the strength of better records and in spection systems, but the officials pointed out the city should have an electrical inspector, and tight er requirements for selling and storing of white gas. The building department marked up a SO point increase because of better enforcement of the building code. Only department showing a point decline was that of structural con dition of buildings, and this sec tion showed a decline of four points. At present, the city council is embarking on a program to get the city of Klamath Falls well down within the Class 5 category. and perhaps eventually work to ward tne Class 4 division which is 2,001 points or less. Rating each department as to category it would fit, the rating officials listed them as: Water 3.9, fire 5.S, alarm system 6.1, police 3, lire prevention 3.2, building de partment 3.4, and structural con' dition as S.18. These may sound like dry sta tistics, but these figures are the basis used to determine just how much you have to pay for your lire insurance, and tne recent sur vey showing the city as still in Class 5 meant a savings of a number of thousands of dollars that would have been levied additional insurance cost, had the city been boosted into Class 6. Fourteen points is "razor-thin as points go, and certainly the city must work energetically in the future to Improve Its fire pre vention departments to avoid any class change in the future. Fire Insurance By FLOYD L. WYNNE Klamath Falls missed "bv whisker" having its fire insurance rates boosted substantially, re cently. At the present time. Klamath Falls is listed as being in Class S by the State fnsuranco Rating Board. Each classification carries with it special rate adjustments. Klamath has been a member of Class 5 for many years, but rc , ccntly, there had been indications that conditions were such that the city might be moved back into Class 6 with an attendant rise in insurance rates. A special meeting was held in Portland on Wednesday of last week with the Rating Bureau. This meeting was attended by the may or, four of the councilmen, and members of the insurance com mittee, as well ns the fire chief and Glenn Bowen of Oregon Water vorporauon. How Ihey arrive at whether or not a tity belongs in Class 5 or 6 for insurance purposes is a long detailed study. Suffice to say that they assign point demerits lor each condition, lack of equipment or attendant situation lhat is not in the inter est of fire safety. The dividing line between Class 5 and 6 is 2.500 demerit points. In a survey completed early lusl week, ul the council iwjucil, it was pointed out that Klumnth1 Falls hnd hern assigned some 2,487 demerit points, or just 14 1 Ilig (guest ion By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AWThe question a New Yorker gets asked most often Is, "why, in Heaven's name, do you want to live here? bince most New Yorkers seem to come from out of town, they some times ask themselves the same question. They have to agree that most of the stock criticisms made by visitors are irue: "It's just too crowded, noisv and dirty. Everybody Is in a hurry to get nowhere. It makes me tired just to watch the pace at which people go here. They don t even nave time to be polite. Yet few visitors, if truthful, can deny they have a wonderful time while they arc here. A British vis itor, Patrick M'Uoberts summed up the city generously in 1775: "The inhabitants are in general brisk and lively, kind to strangers, dress very gay: the fair sex are in general handsome, and said to bo very obliging." Other critics have been less kind. Ralph Waldo Emerson, down on a slumming trip from cultured New England, described New York crisply as "a sucked In 1872 the English novelist Anthony Trollope wrote, "speak ing of New York as a traveler, I have two faults to find with it. In the first place, there is nothing to see: and, in tne second place. there is no mode of getting about to see anything. It is still true that traffic in Manhattan is so bad it is impossi ble to get anywhere in a hurry un less you call an ambulance. But it is no longer true there is nothing to see here. There is everything to see here now. In the mid-twentieth century New York City reigns as the earth s greatest metropolis, a cul tural and financial mecca for all the world. If you have a talent of any kind. . .a product of almost any kind. . .here is your greatest snow window and market place. The reason most people come to live in New York is in the hope of making a bigger buck. And they generally do make a bigger buck here. Even the smallest talent is rewarded higher here than in most other cities. This is a big-spending town, and it attracts free-wheelers. But there are other things that make New York attractive. It is a city where people will let you aione, ana tne neighbors aren t nosey. You can live as you want to in peace. . .that is,' if you can afford to. There is a pulse to life here vou don't find elsewhere an excite ment that comes with living in a city of constant change, where an old building is alwavs cominc down and a new skyscraper going up. Whatever you want to eat vou can find here, whatever you want to see Is here. Like a perpetual circus there Is always something going on. As Christopher Morlev said, this is "the nation's thyroid giana. Chicago, the nation's second city, is notoriously jealous of New York. But a New Yorker doesn't feel that way about Chicago. He just doesn't think of any other city Demg in tne same league.

Laki Garden Club the subject of damage from mice has been dis cussed extensively and the club decided that much more education al work needs to be done as to nature's means of eradicating this pest. Appreciation was expressed for the efforts of Mr. O'Donohue and his friends of the Wildlife Serv ice, the Klamath Falls Herald and News and TV; however, it was felt that a great majority of people still do not recognize all the bene- viding further American assist ance to the Communist regime of Premier Wladyslaw Gomulka. The negotiation at the State De partment is an extension of an agreement signed last June 7 pro viding 9a million dollars in v. 5, economic aid to Poland. This arrangement came after President Eisenhower offered help in getting the Gomulka regime started on its policy of greater Gl Turncoat To Be Pastor United . independence from Moscow dom ination. , Under the June agreement, Po land got surplus farm goods and mining machinery. The 95 million dollar total in cluded a 30 million dollar Export- Import Bank loan and 65 million dollars in a grant swapping sur plus farm foods for Polish currency. In addition, an agreement was made to try to unfreeze two mil lion dollars in Polish assets ir America as well as to, satisfy American property claims in Po land.
