PAGE FOURTEEN HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1958 Mouse Control Editor'! Note: This is the second in a series of articles on the mouse infestation written by C. A, Henderson, county agent. MOUSE POPULATION TRENDS The field mice now infesting the Klamath Basin (generally class ified as Microtus) are classified by biologists as voles, more closely related to the muskrat than to the ordinary mouse. The rate of re production is heavy, a pair pro ducing five to six litters a year, averaging from five to eight. The young start reproducing at about seven weeks, mis manes a rapia increase rate when all conditions are favorable, and a single pair might produce from 25 to 50 thousand in a single year, if there were no losses. This specie is not too migratory, but does move for considerable distances when food and shelter are hard to find Heavy populations on farm land cause the young to move out and make their own homes, some times to a distance of three miles, according to some biologists. A ditch or irrigation canal is not a deterrent, as they swim quite well and are found out in marshes liv ing almost entirely in or near the water. They travel at night, as well as during the day. Frequently . they can be observed crossing the highways at night. Infestations of ' these species are as old as time and they have occurred periodical' ly throughout the world. They al ways come and they always go, but time of going can vary within a year or so. They always leave an aftermath of damage and de struction to land and crops, and lit times effect public health. Altamont Junior High News By TIM MASON Assembling in the gymnasium on Friday, January 24, were the Altamont students to see a film about the conservation of water. Air. Denham announced, before the film, that starting in February and continuing through March, the study of water conservation will be observed by having the stu dents write essays and construct posters. He added that the theme on conservation changes each year and this one wag water. The col ored film which followed proved to be both interesting and educa tional. The election of eighth grade of ficers was held during the first period on Monday, January 27, and the students and the offices which they hold are as follows: Rodney Sparlin, president; Sheridan Nel son, vice president; Delores Lum mus, secretary and Ann Baxter, treasurer. ,. On a repeat performance, the Klamath Union Freshman Lakers traveled to the Grizzlies' court on Tuesday, January 21, to be again defeated by the Altamont Griz zlies. The Grizzlies downed the Lakers easily by a 43 to 21 vic tory. Earl Brinson was the big gun for Altamont as he bucketed in points, but Sherman Allen poured in 14 points to lead the Grizzlies to victory. The following Friday, January 24, brought another game, as the Altamont Grizzlies met the Fremont Junior High Bobcats. The Grizzlies edged the Bobcats 32 to 27. The Grizzlies commanded the lead throughout the game but in the third quarter the Fremont team began to click, and in the fourth period they closed the gap to within four points. The Grizzlies added another point and made a really thrilling fourth quarter ball game. Big center Kenneth Cooper was the Grizzlies top man as he dumped in nine points. Sherman Allen and Gary Palskc followed with eight and seven points. The Grizzlies arc looking forward to an undefeated season under the training of Conch Jim McGowan. They have won three games and had no defeats. They picked up another victory January 28 as they edged the tough KU Luggers 46-41. The Loggers led through the first part of the game but the Griz ilies overcame the lead and went on to victory. The game was a thriller as fine sharp shooting was displayed by both teams. Hon Simpson. Eric Peterson, Jim Sten burg, Ted Steinor and Dick Stev ens were put in just before Ihc halt and Dick Slovens was able to score. High honors went to Karl Brinson who bucketed 17 points and Sherman Allen who added 12. Altamont hopes to continue its undeteated record. it AfKl HALF OF A CENTURY as member, of the Knights of Pythias Lodge is the proud achievement of Lloyd Chur chill of Montague, He was honored at a dinner and pro gram given by the Yreka Lodge No. 169 and the Aurora Temple No. 53, Pythian Sisters, recently.

He explained during his talk, that federal funds on a 56-44 fed eral-city ratio, are still available and urged local aviation enthus lasts to confer with county of' ficials on the dual support pro posal. Snyder commended the gather ing of air-minded guests on pro moting interest locally in flying. The speaker was introduced by Ned Putnam, president of the lo cal Sportsmen Pilots.

Dental Health (This is the fifth in a series of articles published in cooperation with the Klamath Dental Society ii observance of National Chil dren's Dental Health Week, Feb ruary 2-8. Some of the questions' most frequently asked of dentists are answered.) Doctor, my child's teacher said something should be done about Mary's teeth. They do stick out a little but it hardly seems worth while to make a fuss about it now when she is so young. What do you think? There is little good reason for the severely "crooked teeth," which dentists call malocclusion, found in thousands of young people today. Malocclusion is often ac companied by deforming and dis abling conditions. The girl who won't smile, the Si JUDGE KENNETH T.

Power Outage Hits Dunsmuir DUNSMUIR Power crews were kept busy all day Monday and far into the night to locate and repair storm damage in southern Siski you County. Households served by television cable were without TV on Monday as John Rurgess, owner of the cable franchise, and California Oregon Power Company crews sought to locale trouble on the beacon lino to Soda Creek Ridge. The difficulty was first noted about 10 a.m., when residents of north Dunsmuir phoned in to re port they had no electricity. A power pole just north of Dunsmuir had been set afire by the short circuit. Residential service was re stored about an hour later but the beacon circuit could not be recon nected until the difficulty was lo cated, power company employes explained. Meanwhile crews labored in the vicinity of Mount Shasta plagued by two snapped poles, cross arms broken and wires downed by the heavy wet snowfall on Sunday and Monday.

The tragedy of the young person whose appearance is marred by his teeth is so often needless be cause much of the trouble could have been prevented. The time Mary's permanent teeth begin to appear is the crucial period for detecting the beginnings of teeth that are out of line. Rou tine examinations by the dentist make it possible to detect and correct these conditions before they become serious. The most important stage ap pears to be between the ages of six and 12 years when most of the permanent teeth erupt and the first teeth are lost. The dental profession calls it the "period of mixed dentition. Loss of the child's first molars before the permanent teeth are in may be responsible for the de velopment of "crooked teeth" by causing adjacent teeth to drift to ward the open space. This can set up a kind of chain reaction throughout the dental arch. When a tooth, particularly a back tooth, is lost too soon, it is us ually advisable to insert a de vice to maintain the space. Some habits of childhood, if con tinued beyond the age of five or six, may also be disastrous to the development of good tooth alien- ment. The child between the ages of about six and eight who sucks his thumb of has fallen into the habit of thrusting his tongue against his teeth as he watches television or reads may push his newly developing front teeth for ward. Parents are cautioned not to confuse the so-called six-year mo lars with the "baby" teeth. These molars are permanent teeth and usually appear when children are about six years old. There are four of them, and they can be lo cated by counting back six teeth from the front of the mouth. They Worfo".
