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

A woman who has proved hera clearcut "sustained yield" bill.
iMrs. V. 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 !

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. '

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. A new test
"ral court this week.
Almond has described the Vir-
Cils as the gravest crisis
since Ihe Civil War.

Fat Presents
Big Problem
ABOARD THE SS MATSONIA
IAP) Fatness is harder to cure
than cancer, says a physician who
specialtf.es in problems of diet
and nutrition.
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.

Indonesia i
Given Aid
LONDON (API The United
States and Britain have shifted to
a policy of giving the Indonesian
government limited military aid
in an effort to offset increasing
Communist bloc influence, diplo
matic informants in London say.
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.
