PAGE SIX HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1953 FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKINS Managing Editor FLOYD WYNNE City Editor mg Mouili By BILL JENKINS If my' mouth is overly large I suppose it can be laid to the fact that 1 spend so much time sticking my foot in it. The last incident occurred over the weekend when I stated that I had seen the first Western Gros beak in my back yard on Sunday last. I should have made it ade quately clear that this was merely the first one I, personally, had seen since last spring. The phone has been jumping off the hook ever since with literally hundreds of people calling in to report that they have been harbor ing Grosbeaks all winter. Most factual report came from Mrs. T. ft. Nichols, 2353 Mon- telius, who has been keeping watch and notes on the little feathered friends for several yean. She says that this is the first winter she has known them to stay. A check of the bird books con firms a hazily remembered fact that the birds are semi-migratory in nature and are due here only in the spring and fall. I have not seen any other strange, unknown or exotic birds, and if I do I'm going to darn well keep my mouth shut about their being the first or last or whatever the case is. On the subject of birds there is good news from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Results of the winter waterfowl survey in this country (the seven Pacific Flyway states), Canada and Mexico show a grand total of 10,247,000 water fowl in the area. This Is a new high. The figure represents a 28 percent gain over the 8,007,000 birds counted last year. The pre vious high was in 11134. The figure when broken down shows a total of 8,561,000 ducks, (20,000 geese and 816,000 coots. The ducks and geese both showed increases over the previous year, the coot a ten per cent decrease. Largest number of birds were counted in California, followed by Washington, the West Coast of Mexico and Oregon. Oregon had a total of 636,000 birds counted. This is a decrease of eleven percent tor our state. These figures might be kept in mind by the scattergun fraternity when the time comes to set the annus season. Another thing which local scat- tergunners might do well to con sider is the amount of duck for- age that is being lost annually to the lowly coot. It stands to reason that these homely, useless, clumsy birds are fating food that would be better expended on the game species With both feeding and nesting areas for migratory waterfowl shrinking rather than growing It would behoove us to Improve the breed of ducks rather than allow- ing the shabby little fullca atra to take over. Which he might well do, despite the small decrease shown in the past year. Coot shoots might be something to think about during the duller days of the legal season. After all, the coot has a right to live and if we are going to decimate his ranks we should have . the integrity to do it in a sporting manner. Survival By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK Wl Recently I re ceived a mysterious anonymous card in the mail. On the cover it said, 'Every year you re gelling closer . , And when I opened the card it said inside . . , "to being a dirty oia man. Well, I had to chuckle. After all a fellow can't very well break down and cry just because it's his 47th birthday. And to tell the truth I didn't feel much like crying, anyway. A (el low's 40th birthday may be a heart-buster to him, but if he has any sense at all every one after that he hails as major triumph a personal victory In the long struggle of man versus microbe. When you get right down to it, sny amateur at living can survive to 40 or even 4. If you can go on after that, it's no longer a matter of mere luck. You're a real pro you've learned the trick of how to keep breathing regularly. If life is like climbing a moun tain, at 47 you get an unexpected reward. You break through the storm clouds of early middle age nd find yourself on the edge of a sunny upper plateau. When you go to your doctor, you no longer get angry because he doesn't listen to you when you tell him your symptoms. Philosophic ally, you realize that he now knows what you know, too that these are the symptoms you are going to have to put up with all the rest of the journey.

You don't even mind that they do so because they think of you as they do an elderly turtle something ancient and wise and foreign to earthly pas sion. You have become a bit like a tree, which each year has a ring of growth, an interior calendar of its own. With every passing sea son the old scars inside you lose their power to hurt. You become even proud of some of the scars, and glad they no longer show. At 47 the big important things loom smaller and the smaller things get more importapt. You don't expect to solve a major problem every morning. A pleas ant meal .,. .an unexpected vis it from an old friend ... a $5 tax refund by the government these are enough to make a day memor able. The devil calls' you less, and you wonder about God more. You'd rather daydream about your youth than how to make a million dollars. You become intensely aware of nature again. You see every rain drop as it falls, each snowflake has its own face, and a beautiful sunset stirs you more than it did when you were 20. But you can look up at a full moon and laugh at the fool It used to make of you. It never will have that mystic power to undo you again. And at 47 your marriage reaps an unexpected boon. Your wife treats you with a new respect, brings you your slippers when you come home, gets out of your easy chair herself and lets you sit in it. She is terribly, terribly grateful to you merely because, at 47, you haven't died and left her t widow. California Legislature By JEIjRY REYNOLDS (United Press) The California State Legislature is back in action. Its first object in a session scheduled to last all this month is to pass a two billion dol lar budget to operate state govern ment and support state services for the fiscal year which begins next July 1. Besides that, the Legislature will consider six problems Gov. Good win J. Knight felt were critical enough to call a special session to run concurrently with the budget meeting: 1. The creation of a California poultry promotion council to push the sales of poultry and bolster that sagging industry. 2. A "long, hard look" at the broad subject of education to see if more emphasis should be placed on science and mathematics than on such snap courses as basket weaving. 3. Consideration of legislation to remedy subsistence on the Long Beach shoreline, the sinking of land below water level because of oil extraction from the sidelines. 4. The stamping out of "the mushrooming racket of diploma mills" the issuance of college degrees for a fee by phony educa tional institutions. S. To consider giving s tax ex emption to ships under construe lion. Knight said as far as he knows, California is the only state which levies a personal properly tax on ships under construction, a situation which places California shipyards at a competitive disad vantage. 6. To consider conveying slnte- owned San Francisco Bay tide lands to the city of San Francisco for its big league ball stadium. Knight's proposed state budget. which he says can he balanced by- using up all of the state's 75 mil lion dollar rainy day fund, has Pogo i Mi- rr "sm Vtawc that?

NAi ; J -rvev pout vet aJu t TiAMW." y JWWP0W' HAM v i met remarkably little opposition in four weeks of hearings before the Assembly Ways and Means Cool' mittee and Uie Senate Finance Committee the two fiscal bod ies of the Legislature. As far as can be determined to this point, only four major points have reared their heads in discus sions of the budget. One is a proposal to establish three new campuses and establish two post graduate schools in sci ence and mathematics. Another is a decision on wheth er the state should spend 77 mil lion dollars to continue work on the Feather River Project even though there still is no hint of agreement in the north-south fight over water rights. Still another is the proposal by Assemblyman Thomas !'. Erwin iH-LA Puente) that the budget be cut five per cent across the board Erwin said he would bring this proposal up in the Ways and Means Committee, and if it fails there, also on the floor of the As sembly. The fourth problem is the expect ed opposition of Sen. Randolph Col lier (K-Yreka) to a six million 'dol lar flood control appropriation. Collier complained that Northern California gets all the floods but Southern California gets all the flood control money. The senator specifically was speaking of an appropriation item proposing the spending of $5,832,000 for flood control on the Santa Ana River Basin Project and the Lytle and Cajon creeks project in San Bernardino County, the Los Ange les River Watershed Project and the Los Angeles and San Gabriel rivers and Ballona Creek Project. There also is another item in the budget calling for the expenditure of $3,150,000 for levees and other flood control works in the Sacra mento and San Joaquin water sheds. State water officials say if Col lier opposes the Southern Califor nia flood control item, southern lawmakers can be expected to In sist on Identical handling of all flood control Items, which means that if the southern item is cut, so will the valley item. As far as the five per cent cut proposal of Erwin is concerned Knight says he doesn't think it has as much chance as a tax boost and that means no chance at all The governor told a recent news conference that there are too many sacred cows in the budget. Legis lators are for tax cuts, he says, until they discover the budget cut is going to effect their own little pet projects. And an across-the- board slice would threaten Ihem all. In the same situation is Assem blyman Joseph Shell (R-Los Ange les) who again has brought into the open the automatic appropria tions to local fairs. Shell says the fairs get their $85,000 annual share of race track money whether they need it or not and many of them don't. But again there is the situation where legislators won't stop the practice because it would be stopping a free flow of funds to their own local fairs. Woman llroker By S11EKI GILES (United Press) The newest stock market expert on Chicago's famed La Salle Street is a stunning platinum blonde who would look more at home behind the footlights than behind a desk She is Dorothy Eigen, chic wife of a well known Chicago disk jock ey, and she was behind the foot lights once. Ten years ago, Dorothy gave up a Broadway dancing career to set- UMCRimoN JUTU CAJtium l MONTH l.M MONTKa 1 100 I YBAJ ..... 111.00 I MONTR . f MONTHS 1 YEAJt ...... I l.M MM tie down to life as a housewife. Then recently, she and her hus band began dabbling in the mar ket. "My husband didn't know about investments," says Dorothy, "so I took it up." ' Dorothy clsims her show bust- ness career was a big help to her financial career. "Show business puts you in front of the public," she explains. "It takes away shyness, which can be a big drawback in the world of high finance." Dorothy explains that her hus band doesn't mind her being the business "brain" of the family, "He's busy with his shows and he's glad I am," she says. "He doesn't find it too interesting." Dorothy entered this complicated man's world, where a woman still isn't allowed on the trading floor of the stock market,, after taking a course at the. New York In stitute of Finance and spending a year and a half as apprentice broker. "It really isn't a woman's pro fession," she ssys, "and women usually let, their husbands take care of such matters." "But I always liked math," she admits. Mrs. Eigen does business with both men and women, snd has found that male investors don't mind dealing with' a woman. . But she says that in order to prove her capability to the men, she must prove she knows her business. She feels that a broker must know the background and financial standing of the investor to be an expert. ' She has one warring don't try to get rich quick in the market, If that's what you want, she says, go to Las Vegas. Dorothy claims that many of her female friends have become in terested in the market since she paved the way. Some of them may even enroll in finance school, she says. . , , After business hours, Dorothy, who was once an amateur swim ming champion, goes home to cook for her husband snd daughter, Jac- quelin.

County, Timber Officials By JOHN GUERNSEY The Klamath County Board of Equalization and timber officials representing the privately owned stands of jackpine in Klamath County agreed Thursday morning that more information is needed before the stands in this county can be realistically placed on the assessment rolls. On hand during the two-h our study were equalization members Charlie Mack and Alfred C a p) Collier, tax commission officials. County Assessor Clyde (Hap) Cald well, and representatives of the Crown Zellerbach Company, the Weyerhaeuser Timber Lompnny, the Gilchrist Timber Company, and the Brooks - Scanlon Company of Bend, and the Johns-Manville Company. Essentially, the equaliza tion board and those attending agreed on the following points: 1. That there is a potential value on the jackpine and it should even tually be placed on the tax rolls 2. That there has not been a sufficient number of sales involv ing the lodgepole to conclude a fair and reasonable market value. 3. That the indefinite nature of future market demands for the privately owned jackpine, coupled with the indefinite status of more than a million cords on the Klam ath Indian Reservation, present a situation which makes concluding a depletions factor extremely dif ficult. 4. That the possibility of placing the stands on the rolls should be subjected to further study and reconsidered when some of the above listed Intangibles have been determined. Equalization Board Chairman Mack explained to the group at the outset that some sales of re cent date ranged between J30-S35 per acre, with the valuation be ing based on stands of jackpine. On the basis of that, the equaliza tion board and the county asses sor questioned if it might, not be the proper time for assessing the jackpine on a basis to be deter mined by market value. The tax commission personnel were asked to study the issue. Although making no recommen dations, tax official Woody Dam erall told the group that studies Indicate that there are approxi mately 93,000 acres of privately owned jackpine stands in the coun ty. Damerall is the timber section supervisor for the State Tax Com mission with headquarters at Sa lem. . The total consists of 13,000 acres of No. 1, or material which is gen erally too small for usage; 13,000 acres of No. 2 which will yield five cords per acre: and 67,000 acres of No. 3 with an average yield of is cords per acre. . Although it could be subject to change depending on the eventual use of Reservation stands and the future jackpine demands by pri vate firms, Damerall said the com mission study concluded a tenta tive 20 per cent depletions factor for assessing the stands when spread over a 34-year period. un that basis the appraised val ue of the No. 3 stands would be $5.25 per acre, with a correspond ing assessed valuation of approxi mately 90 cents per acre. He pointed out that on the same basis the No. 2 stands would be ap praised at about $1.50 per acre, with a corresponding assessed valuation of approximately 25 cents per acre, he No. 1 stands, being of no commercial value, would con tinue to be assessed on a flat land basis, or slightly more than three cents per acre. The timber assessments of No. 2 and No. 3 stands-would be in addition to the flat land tax. The indefiniteness of the ulti mate market demand for the jack pine was pointed up with explana tion mat uie Jonns-Manvllle firm Is the only commercial producer in Klamath County using the prod net cm a large scale, and that the firm has .contracted to use 450,000 cords from the forest serv ice stands. Bill Graham, manager of the Klamath Falls branch of the Man- ville firm, said the company cut 6,000 cords last year; anticipates a cut of l.ooo cords this vear. and that it will be some time be fore the company is in the market tor privately owned 'stands. He pointed out that the maxi mum production at the mill calls for handling 30.000 cords annuallv that the maximum production is not expected to be attained until between 1962 and 1965. and that the company has already pur- cnasea me 450,000 standing cords trom tne forest service lands.

Jefferson Pa r i s h authorities identified them as Melvin Spen cer, 5: Diane Spencer, 3; and Kelvin Spencer, 2, children of Mrs. Eula May Spencer of Kenner. The cause of the fire was not immed iately determined. The mother said she had locked the only exit of the three-room house "to keep them safe inside" while she visited in the neighbor hood. Delery Materne, 19, said he ran to a window of the blazing house and looked in. "I could see the three children standing there helpless, not mov ing, he said. Jet Shooting Incident Eyed SEOUL, Korea OB The U.N. Command today continued its in vestigation into the shooting down of an American jet fighter by Communist guns near the neutral zone dividing North and South Korea. Protests to the Reds were delayed, meanwhile. A spokesman said the U.N. Command had no information on the exact position of two F86 Sabre Jets in relation to the de militarized zone when one was shot down yesterday. The zone is miles wide and the Commu nists control the northern half. The pilot of the second plane on a routine training flight, Lt. Ronald E. Martin of Rock Hill, Mo., returned unscathed to his base at Osan. Martin said he "momentarily saw a parachute with the pilot floating toward the ground just over the Communist side of the line. On completion of its inquiry. the U.N. Command was expected to request an armistice commis sion meeting to protest the shoot ing, and demand return of the downed flier. The missing pilot's name was not announced. Search planes that flew near the area saw no trace of the flier. Further searching might be aban doned to avoid the danger of an other incident, an Air Force offi cer indicated. ACCIDENTAL JOB CLIFTON, N.J.

The house, the de portment explained, was on land selected as the route for a new highway. The Dravlands agreed to sell, for $13,900, and a highway offi cial told' them a state check would be along soon. The Dravlands arranged to move. Although pinched financial ly, they scraped up $500 and put it down as earnest money on a new home. Jan. 1 came and went. No state check. Feb. 1 passed and no check. Worried about the down pay ment they would have to make on their new property, the Drav lands inquired about the state check. They were told it had been mailed Jan. 17. . The state made a thorough search for the check, without luck. State law prevents issuance of a new check unless there is positive poof the original has been destroyed or unless bond of twice the amount of the original check is posted. That would amount to $27,800. The bondsman's fee would be $287 which the Dravlands don't have.
