These people, including a group of cattlemen, soine wildlile experts and the University scientists of that state have dreamed up brand new liuntinc method. Instead of using high-powered rifles and expanding point bullets they use a stepped-up version of the familiar BB gun and shoot their prey full of tranquilizer pills At least, tranquilizers in liquid form. This new method of hunting ac tually is the brain child of Jack Crockford of the Georgia Game and Fish Commission. Basically, the thing is simple enough. The stepped-up airgun shoots a dart that looks very much like a doctor's hypodermic syringe. This Is sort of a two-stage needle and contains a combination of nico tine and a tranquilizing drug. The shock of the firing sets up gas pressure in the first stage and this, in turn, presses on a rubber plunger in the second stage that forces the drug into the animal's blood stream. The result is that, when shot in the hip, the unfortunate animal wanders off wondering what bit him and in a few moments is rendered helpless. Whether he is happy and his mental worries are removed or not, we cannot say at this time. Ostensibly,' the weapon was de signed primarily for use by stock men in the capture of wild cat tle in rugged terrain. Hope is also expressed that the development will coma in handy to veterinari ans and others in subduing unruly stock before performing treatment en same. Full scale tests of the thing were carried out by Georgia wildlife of ficers when they wanted to move deer from one of the off shore islands to a game preserve in side the state. The deer were shot and promptly fell asleep. While they were sleeping it olf , which was a matter of several hours, the proud hunters dusted them with insecticides to kill some fleas, and then for good measure gave them a shot of penicillin. While the manufacturers of the new weapon have a somewhat lim ited view of its uses, it could very readily be adapted to the normal hunting scene. Of course, it has one objection. There is enough nic otine contained in one charge to instantly kill a human being if he were accidentally plugged with it. But picture to yourself what a boon it would be to the deer hunter who boasts that he is out after horns and not meat. For the trophy hunter of this type, it would be a real blessing, lie could spot (lis deer, shoot it, wait until it (ell asleep, and then measure the horns. If they weren't up to trophy standards, he could then walk off in search of another and larger animal secure in the knowledge that he had not decimated the ranks of wildlile with an unneces sary killing or wasted his tag on a too-small buck. Not that I expect this , to hap pen. But in this modern world of ours it is a distinct possibility. But, rosy though the outlook may be. I somehow have my doubts as to whether we'll be seeing any of these airguns in this area, at least, in the near future. I suspect that we'll just have to so along with our old familiar ri lles and. of course, the bow and' arrow which is constantly grow- in ujUimii.v. nnu pruuaoiy ailijos has multiplied the general inter-land girls, who sanely go along est in slock market reports and the financial pages of newspapers. The stock market quotations car ried in the Herald and News are transmitted from the New York Stock Exchange via The Associa ted Press wires to the Seattle AP bureau for dissemination to Wash ington and Oregon AP member newspapers. A basic list of slocks submitted by stock brokers as representative of the stocks most traded in the Pacific Northwest is supplemented by a few listings re quested by AP member newspapers. Afternoon newspapers in the Pa cific Time zone are fortunate in and try to think out the problems that we have, and are optimistic and also they have the necessary faith in the future.' ' Every city reports stories of juv enile gangs, or violence, that were unheard of a few years ago. This is not because our youth is more debauched or less competent than before. It is perhaps time that American adults, and particularly those of us who are parents real ize that a cynical, fearful attitude in the home reflects itself in the violence and rebellion against authority in our children. If we do not have a basic faith the time element. They are able 'he human race, and instill in to include in their home delivered I our children a knowledge of reli- editions the closing quotations onii". and human relationships in the Big Board (New York time is their ideal form, we can expect three hours ahead of Oregon). The list is held to a minimum because the closing time is so close to deadlines that even in this zone, to reap the whirlwind. Good manners and respect for authority are necessary in every age. Permissive parenthood of the the newspaper is pressed to getjtype that feels that Junior er'Sis' them in type. The shorter lists are adequate for most of the cities in Oregon because every other population center, of the size of metropolitan Klamath Falls except the city of Klamath Falls has an investment brokerage house with a direct wire to the New York Stock Ex change. These facilities enable the investor to call the broker to de termine today's closing price on any stock' commodity so that buy or sell orders may be put in for the opening of the next day's mar ket. , . Klamath Falls has many needs as it continues to forge ahead in growth. These needs can be filled only by the insistence that they be filled by those persons most vitally concerned. A branch of an investment brokerage house in Klamath Falls would provide up-to-the-minute information on all listed common and preferred stocks. Perhaps requests from club groups such as the Klamath Basin Stock Club will add weight to individual approaches to some of the established brokerage firms. Oregon. USA By JOSEPHINE KITTREDGE World patterns are changing the lives of Oregonians, and Ameri cans in ways that seem at times too subtle and undetectable for us to grasp immediately. - Young men and women of high school and college age are among those most profoundly affected. It has become a "thing" for youth of today to accept the changes of Sputnik and threats of atomic war fare with an outwardly confident air, all the while listening to the older generation warning of th!I.e;lc),r( dangers of complacency, outh is not complacent, they are inwardly critical of those of us who have tiii led to solv e these problems and are also frightened of the appar ent insecurity of their future. This is evidenced in two ways. We have those adolescents who hurry to marry, who indulge in gangster tactics perhaps, or has ten to have every experience that life has to offer because they are afraid time may be running out. Then there is the really serious group and I do not mean that some of those'.who marry, young are not in this category. Some of the studious, analytical ones be come quite cynical and material istic in the "got to get mine be fore it's all gone" mood: and oth ers so idealistic they reach for any current "ism" or finny thought to promole the world brotherhood they think will prevent their world from further deterioration. ler is blighted and will go 'into s fast decline if you deny them the use of the car when you happen to need it yourself, is unfair te the child. If children are te hive privileges, there must be equal consideration of areas of respon sibility. If our boys are to be drafted at IS and are old 1 enough to fight for their country shd to be captured and in. prison ! camps . . . they must not be sent into those areas of responsibility with out being armed by more than military instruction. Our schools must demand from them respect for authority, good manners, consideration for ethers, and instill in them patriotic and vent them from ' defecting to a totalitarian government . when un der pressure. In turn we can give them confidence in their future, acknowledge the fact that if boys are old enough to fight, and girls are old enough to marry at It or younger, they must be treated as mature citizens while in school. Our educational system is still running slong on the theory that all males and females under, U are too young to make decisions on their future, and must be shielded and protected-and gently guided. In a great many instances a boy or girl of If and beginning their junior year in high school needs a seminar or lecture type of classroom schedule, and the work that he or she does should be almost entirely dependent upon voluntary attendance, , extracurri cular work, and lecture nbtes as s basis for evaluation. Responsibility for class attendance must be es tablished, and educational desire exist, before the college level is system is so stylized and em ployment demands such high skills that they do not have the oppor tunity and in many cases the ne cessity to earn. Let us not give them all the ma terial things, and fail to work out their human problems, and when we give them privilege fail to give them matching responsi bility. Those students who ' do not recognize the need for this estab lishment of responsibility, and ma turity, would in the case of young men then be available .to the armed forces for their military service. Young women are some times not interested in s business career, or work toward college entrance. Homemaking is as satis factory a career as any woman can or should have, and we have directed our educational push so far afield from this thought, that most girls are almost ashamed to admit that basically, -they would like to marry, raise a fam ily, and provide the family hack- ground that any nation needs to remain free and unafraid. Certain basic needs exist in the human race, regardless of auto mation, the three-day week or the four-day week, or more gadgets and inventions that will free man- 0r Schools Midland (Te The Editor) Are our schools behind those of Rus sia? This seems to be the question many Americans are asking. " No one can answer that question how far advanced Russian school: are. But if I may give a personal opinion, we ought not use Russian schools as the yardstick for meas uring ours. If the Russians seem to have more brilliant scientists, it is because the Communists force the students to study. Russian stu dents are not distracted by foot ball, dances, etc. Then too, they aren't given the choice of courses they wish to take. Heavy science courses are compulsory. If In Russians keep it up, they wil have scientific singers, scientific actors, scientific' housewives and ditchdiggers. We can offer more science cours es in American schools, but we can not. force eur students to take them. If we do, we lose our fine democracy and become, to some degree, Communistic. So it is up to you, as adults to help us young folks to the reali zalion of the fact that this country needs more scientists than football players. ,We must give proper credit to our science teachers, for they try to keep abreast of the latest de- velpments. However, the teachers are working under a severe handi cap, in that the textbooks take ap proximately two years to be print ed and distributed to the schools Then the school must use them at least five or six years before they are financially able to obtain the new editions. The worst of this situation is that there is no remedy in sight. I have a gripe to air. The busi nessmen who like'to indulge in that amusing form of gambling known as "football pools" are the ones to, complain most about ihe undue emphasis on- physical education They dont seem to realize that they are, in part, responsible for that emphasis. Although I do not feel that it is right to stress athletic ability so heavily, I' think that science can be stressed too heavily, also. What American, indeed, Klamath County schools, need is a balanced, w ell-rounded- curriculum, with sci ence, (chemistry, mathematics, bi ology, etc.) libera! arts and physi cal education kept in their proper perspective. i Shirley Peters Henley High School Fresh man 1 hey 11 Do Jt Every lime py Jimmy natio 1 WAS OH -- TH LACfSSyi H40 TO WM THSV TALKING frHSV NEVE1?

We would like to sav that with the knowledge we have through be ing eye witnesses to the so-called riot, we think we know more about the situation than you seen to. Here are the facts as we know them: A group of bovs from Chilo quin were loitering in front of our school at noon hour and picked a jiignt with one Mils student for no apparent reason. A group of stu dents gathered, but no further vi olence .occurred. The Chiloauin boys then challenged our bovs to a fight at Moore Park that night Although the. police, department checked automobiles that night in the park, only one hoy was found to possess a weapon, the rest seemed to be spectators.
