WYNNE If you don't think social security is big business in Klamath Coun ty, let me hasten to assure you dilferenlly. One out of every 17 persons in Klamath County is drawing social security henefits. The total number of Klamalh County residents on so cial security is 2,412. Total monthly henclils paid out for social security County is $1311., -17. In other words, the social security payroll in Klam-ltions alh County every year is about ji.mmi.ikio. this should put it among the lop category of revenue pro- nm-ors ior inc couniy eacn year. mis maui.it nas nrcn given a;n itn.re wpre any quoslons oniStlL. government into fresh con seven per cent raise at the cx-,,hls SC01T ,slmT ,h(, w,.ds sus.fjcl with the federal government, pense of those still working.

E. O'Neill of Klamath Falls whose term expired in July. Klamath County and the entire area should be glaa that southern Oregon has not lost its represen tation on that state body. It was particularly pleasing to 'be introduced to Mrs. Hamilton by Mrs. 0'NeiII on Monday. Mrs. Hamilton came to Klamath Falls this week for the express purpose of making a personal tour of Ore- ton Technical Institute. Oregon Tech is the only institute admin istered by the State Board of Ed ucation. The first board meeting of the new fiscal year Is slated for September 4 at which time the members will receive the report of the survey made by Dr. Wil liam Fleschcr on vocational-tech nical training in Oregon. Mrs. Hamilton is a former news paperwoman. She started her busi ness career as a reporter on the old Medford Daily News when Dan Bowerman was city editor of that paper. She was then Eva Nealon. When she mentions that period in her life her eyes sparkle and she declares that "those years were the most interesting in my business life." She married a newspaperman and they look a whirl at operating a weekly newspaper of their own for a brief period. Moore flamil ton is now, and has been for many years, Medford s postmaster. Mrs. Hamilton was later society editor of the Medford Mail-Tribune, i job she continued to hold for three years after her marriage. With the arrival of her chil dren, her interests turned to edu cational matters. She was active in PTA work during their school years and served for five years on the Medford school board. Service to one's community, coun ty or slate is lime and energy con suming. Salaries accompany few appointments to state boards and all too frequently, the only reward is the personal satisfaction of hav ing tried to do well the job as signed. Mrs. Hamilton has taken the lime and trouble to come over the hill to learn firsthand what has made Oregon Tech a great school. And she promises to come again after the fall term has started. Siislaiiii'd Yield RKPRINTED FROM AMERICAN FORESTS Sustained yield is described by the Society of American Foresters as a "policy, method, or plan of forest management, implying con tinuous production vith the aim of achieving, at the earliest practica ble time, an approximate balance between net growth and harvest, either by annual or somewhat long er periods." This is the accepted definition by the professional foresters of I America. We believe it was what AFA's board had in mind when it resolved on September pi-,7 I that disposal of timhcrlandsiwhill's llkly to happen when Klnmathiin the Klamalh Indian li scrvation ! should be made under such condi as will assure sustained for 0!, production and maximum per manont contribution to the econo-!ens my of I he area including the ccon-: ,, 0f the Indians themselves ,y u1(. hoards subsequent actionlon all sides seem to be working!"' the Norfolk plan is due in fed , r ehruary 24. 1H58. when it en- -iihusiaslically embraced proposals y Interior Secretary Seaton as! I Poqo ,Vv 'V ) -c I VS-A- . pi V h A P.J'VSW c CLEAN CORRUPTION AM C2.-.U (incorporated into S 30 5 1 to amend mlttee on Indian Affairs is now a source of concern. In lieu of the words 'sustained yield) the House version now refers to a "contin uous supply of timber." In another change, the committee has whacked out the phrase "specifi cations and minimum require -ments for sustained yield manage ment," and refers only to "min imum requirements." Thus the question now arises, "minimum requirements" to what? Sustained yield minimum requirements are one thing. Min imum requirements to Oregon's seed tree law that requires that a few seed trees be left on every acre otherwise clearcut, is come thing else again. That something else is not necessarily sustained yield. Concern regarding the dele tions is further heightened by the fact that NLMA, in a letter to the committee published below, slates in one part that ". . . the term, 'continuous supply' may be con strued as less impelling than the words 'sustained yield.' " There doesn't seem to be much question about that. What has happened here is this Someone has carefully pointed out to the committee that the words "sustained yield" are not present in the organic act of 1897 cover ing the national forests, which is true. However, the term is used the secretary's regulations and one would hope that any subsequent ruling would be made on the regu lations, rather than the act itself. Also to be borne in mind is the fact that no ruling exists on just what a "continuous supply of tim ber" may or not be. Any resort to the courts to obtain such a rul ing say by private purchasers of the Klamath property would have ramifications of considerable im port to forestry. What this all boils down to is an attempt to weaken the sus tained yield intent of the Seaton Bill which AFA is supporting, at a time when we should be attempt ing to raise forestry standards, not lower them. So we say let's put the sustained yield language back in the bill to avoid any misunder standings that might arise. The in tent of the Senate version of the bill is clear. The intent of the pro posed House version is not clear. While the urge is great, we aren't pormitted to buttonhole legislators on this. That's lobbying. But read ers aren't subject to any such re strictions. And if you still feel the same way about this Seaton Bill after 32 articles, letters and edi torials on this subject in the last few months, we suggest you now use your influence where it will do the most good and do so without delay. Virginia Schools By LON K. SAVAGE RICHMOND,' Va. "(UPD There has been so much confusion about schools open in Virginia next month, it might be worth while to look into the situation. It's serious, all right. It threat- to close several schools and possibly several school systems It almost certainly will bring the j feverishly behind the scenes to prevent that. ' What's happened is that Arling-'K1"'3 f MsaeeV I II v tH I I Ml Subscription Rates CARRIER l MONTH . $ 1.50 C MONTHS $ 9 00 I YEAR $18.00 MAIL I MONTH $ 1.50 t MONTHS 8.50 1 YEAR $15.00 ton County in Washington's front yard and the cities of Norfolk and Charlottesville have be'en ordered to desegregate schools when classes open in Sep tember. They have exhausted ap peals from these orders. But under Virginia law, if any white school accepts Negroes, it would be closed under one of the state's "massive resistance" laws On the other side is the kind of federal court order that led to the Army being sent to Little Rock last fall. "I don't know what will hap pen," said Norfolk Superintendent J. J. Brewbaker. "I don't know even what our position is. The federal courts say you got to ad mit these kids in school. The state says we can't. So where are we?" Suppose one of the integration- ordered cities should agree to abide by the orders? Under Gov. Lindsay Almond's "massive resistance" plan, he would assume control of the af fected school district, reorganize it and reopen it on a segregated basis. He is talking now in terms of taking up the matter by indi vidual integrated classes, how ever, rather than entire schools or districts. If the state failed to get by with the re-opening plan, the school then would be closed. Pupils would be sent to some kind of pri vate school. If only a few pupils were involved, they would be ab sorbed into other schools and, for the time at least, that would be the end of it. At that point, however, parents of the Negro litigants are expect ed to ask the courts again to or der the affected school re-opened on an integrated basis. That's where the state of Virginia and the government would be at a "Little Rock" crossroads. One of the big question marks in the whole Virginia situation is whether private schools would work. Even the highest state au thorities are doubtful. If a consid erable number of public schools were closed, there simply wouldn't be enough facilities and teachers to meet the emergency. Out of the confused puzzle, this is about the best way anyone can put it together at the moment: The chances are that only a few schools actually will be closed in September. The students from them probably could be absorbed into other schools. Before further crisis, Almond could call a spe cial session of the General Assem bly to re-write his strict laws, at least to the extent of preventing the mass closing of schools. Norfolk might be the spot where actual integration would first be tested. The school board there has said it will comply with the fed eral court order and that it could not "guarantee" complete segre gation. Although Arlington has been or dered to admit Negroes who have been named as they were in Little Rock to presenlly-all white schools, the pupils will be assigned under the state Public Placement Act. It is expected the Negroes will be assigned to Ne gro schools although this would be in direct contradiction of the court order. . Charlottesville may attempt to get by with a new school district plan that would put all Negro pu pils in one district. Norfolk and Charlottesville have their own pupil placement plans under which Negro applicants will have to pass stiff entry require ments. .Negroes have challenged the validity of both assignment plans but they have so far been upheld by the courts.

Only one out of 20 people who successfully reduce their weight by restricting food intake slay that way. Dr. Donald Petit of the Uni versity of Southern California told physicians attending a unique medical refresher course aboard this liner en route to Los Angeles. Dr. Petit cited studies made on people 10 years after dieting. By that time, 95 per cent were back where they started. Roughly a third of those treated for cancer are free from the dis ease 5 to 10 or more years after ward. The small success of weight re- person is naturally that way and may not De just a normai-sizea individual with too much padding. Other investigators have found children follow the body contours of their parents. In cases where both parents are obese, 72 per cent of the offspring also are fat. Where one parent is fat, 41 per cent of children are overweight. When neither parent is obese, only 4 per cent of the' offspring are fat.

The Turks want Cyprus parti tioned rather than joined to Greece as the Greek Cypriots de mand. The plan provides for separate Greek and Turkish assemblies for communal affairs, an islandwide assembly if the two communities want one and continued British control. LANDSLIDE DOMODOSSOLA.

Indonesia has accepted a British offer to provide specialized train ing for some army officers, the sources reported. The United States signed an agreement in Jakarta last Wednesday to sell light arms to the Southeast Asian island republic. Some U.S. weapons already have been flown from Japan to Indonesia and a shipment of 300 trucks and Jeeps plus arms will sail soon from Yokohama. The U.S.-British decision to help arm President Sukarno's forces presumably was based on the rep utation of top army leaders for being staunchly anti-Communist. The Communist party has polled Ihe largest vote of any party in recent fndonesian elections, and army chiefs are reported worried by the Red upswing. Indonesia tuned to Czechoslo vakia and other Communist na tions for arms last December when Washington failed for six months to answer Jakarta's re quests to buy weapons.
