US Fish and Wildlife, are getting ready to sell off the surplus of the wildlife herds on some of the nation's refuges Now those so inclined can pick up buffalo, elk and longhorn cat tie. There will he 272 bison on the block along with 68 elk and 198 longhorns. What with the tremendous up surge of interest :n Westerns, modern style, it would appear that the American public should flock to the sales and bid high. After all, due to Hollywood and television, everyone is familiar with the Thundering Herd. If we are to believe what we are told no man can consider this outfit complete unless he has at least one old-style single action thumb buster, preferably two, and the market for quick-draw holsters has soared. Regrettably, it is still un lawful to strap on your six guns and go out and chop down a hand ful of innocents any more. But it is not Illegal to buy or to eat the flesh of the legendary stock such s buffalo and longhorns. So if you want to really wal low in the flavor of. the West and aren't just an anemic viewer of giddyaps write the bureau in Wash ington, D.C. (25) and get on the list. The sales will be made .at vari ous refuges in Nebraska. North Dakota, Montana and Oklahoma If you want live animals take a trailer or truck wilh you when you learn from the bureau where the animals are. A mature live buffalo of not more than two years of age will set you back $150. A yearling will cost $125. Elk will be delivered to the truck for $100 cash on the barrelhead. The release I have doesn't give the price of the longhorns, unfor tunately. I would like one of these to keep down the weeds in the back yard. But then it might not get along with the dogs, so I suppose 1 won't ever do anything about it. If you want to buy meat only a buffalo will cost you $140 to $180 for a whole carcass, butchered. which tips the scales at about 450 pounds. A whole elk, weighing 250 to 300 pounds, will cost $'.10 to $120 fob at the refuge. So there you are. If you want that wild flavor to go with your latest Western, here's your chance. Odds W I nds By FLOYD L. WYNNE Ever gel one of those days when you have a lot of loose ends lying around ready to unravel you? Well. I've reached that point, and it might be well for me to clear up some of the odds-n-ends I've been collecting. Three international notes have been collecting dust, and should be brightened up. First, I have a pen pal note I'd like to pass along. A letter arrived a short time ago from: L. Gray. 12 Pennant Street, ERRW. Vale Mon, Great Britain. In his note, Mr. Gray wrole. "I am looking for American pen friend of all ages. "Would you be so kind as lo in sert my urgent request in your valuahle paper "Hie Herald?' "My interests are the exchange of friendly letters, stamps, view cards, papers, magazines, souv enirs from Wales." Come to think of II. I wonder if he would know anything about myj,,re jn danKor 0f forgetting we are . rat mc.c Kieu Krrfiiui.nner.!p0(,niai h(,r005 as WC ss potcn. from what I hear he came tn:li;, villains. aies to slay wnn an aunt back around the 17'iiis. Might be a lillle before his time, though. On second thought, if someone wrote me from Wales and asked me about a member of their fam ily tree lhat roamed these United Stales about 17MI. I'd feel a little helpless for information also. However, any of you who want In trade Welsh stamps, papers or souvenirs, here's your chance. II you do wrile, let me know what response you get. While I'm in the general neigh borhood of the European conti nent, let me pass along a note from the Frenc h Counsel General in S.m Francisco. He wanted this message passed along to all French Nationals abroad. "The French ("nmulatc Genrral in San Francisco announces thai all French Naiionals wishing to parlicipatd in the French Constitu tion referendum, Seplemhor :'a. 1958, should contact, as soon as possible, and bclore September fi. the French Consulate General. 74i Taylor Street, San Francisco 2. California." Pass that along to any French Nationals who might be around locally, will you? A third overseas note, this one from Olive Cornett, 50!) Eldorado Avenue. Olive is indulging one of her life-long ambitions and is spending some time in a trip abroad. She sends a postcard from Flor ence, Italy. In part she said, "If I had a tape recorder, would make inter esting listening. These lingos and odd phraseology; their inflection difficult to understand. My head is filled with beautiful paintings, sta lues, tapestries, mosaics . . , scorns impossible these things I've read of are now 'come to life' so to speak." Olive, who recently declined to run for reelection to the post of Oregon Republican national com- nuttoewoman, a post she held for some time, closed with this point ed remark, "Hear no local politi cal talk." Could be that's known as really "getting away from it all." Speaking of getting away, here's a note on arrivals. The new city manager, G. S. Vergeer, is due to arrive in Klamath Falls any day now with family and all. Unless someone shows up wilh a two or three bedroom unfurnished home for rent he may have to park his family and baggage on the steps of city hall. Any suggestions can be passed along to city hall, please. Flald'ry By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) What this world needs most today is a little more flattery, a revival of the good old art of apple sauce. A great deal of ridicule has been directed at the "yes man," but he fills a great need in society. We might do well with a few more of them. Colleges now leach everything from bridge playing to how to cook an omelette. Why don't they have a course on the technique and use of flattery? There is a saying that "flattery will get you nowhere." That say ing js out-of-date and inaccurate. The truth is that the pendulum has swung (he other way. If flat lery won't get it for you, nothing will. Flattery is the banana oil lhat greases the wheels of progress. It never was more needed than right now. Mankind today is homesick for applause, and crying for a pat on the hack. We live in a century which, for one reason or another, goes in for too much self-hate. Practically ev eryone is afflicted wilh a sense of guilt from panhandler to million aireand has a secret feeling he's a hum. Time was when most people knew their own motives were pure hut suspected the motives of oth ers. They liked to think of them selves as being just a hit better than their neighbors more honest more sincere, more charitable, more moved by tolerance and good will. No longer. Everybody seems lo suspect himself first of all now. He needs no accusers. He not only casts the first stone he casts it it himself. If he does a good deed, he asks himself cynically just what dark reason is really behind It. The new psychology has turned i from self-applause lo self- criticism. This wouldn't he bad in itself, if we didn't go overboard. Hut we have gone overboard. We jre in danger of going on from self-questioning to self-hate. We Pogo a-1"" "" so.

The fat man becomes afraid to enjoy a good meal, for fear this shows he may be harboring a secret desire to commit suicide. The wealthy man hesitates to endow a charity, for fear he may really be doing it only to show off. What we need now is a return to common sense and self-respect and maybe a few career ad mirers to tell us we aren't really as bad as we think we are. We've run ourselves down long enough. Flattery, apple sauce, banana oil call it what you will it's what we need. It's far better than tranquilizers. Everyone at heart today is yearning for someone to clap him on the shoulder and say: "Pal, you're real. The world wouldn't be the same without you." If you can't get someone else to tell you that,- tell it to yourself, over and over. In time you'll come to believe it, and feel better. Mglilning Holts By ERIC ALLEN In Medford Mail-Tribune When the lightning flickers on the horizon, and when the spec tacular strikes hit closer at hand, ripping down into the hills and limberland of the county, what is it like to be on top of a moun tain in a forest lookout cabin? Watching this week's storms, with the constant play of lightning around the horizon, the frequent bolts visible at closer range, and he grumble-rumble of thunder in terrupted every so often by an earth-shaking blast up close, we were happy not to be on a look out. However, Curt Ncsheim, district warden for the state department of forestry, claims he's never "lost a lookout" to lightning. "They get pretty scared some times," he said in what must be an understatement. Ferris Simpson, son of L. L. Doc) Simpson, was knocked down this year in his lookout post on top of Mt. Isabelle, Nesheim re ported, but he wasn't injured. And he said that such thing: happen so fast that the "victim" is never sure whether he was knocked down by a bolt which hit the cabin, or by one that struck close, or by the force of air blast ing out from a strike, or by an irrepressible and instinctive reac tion to "duck," which bowls him over. Nesheim told about the time he and another forester were in the woods during a thunderstorm. A lightning bolt hit an old-growth tree some 200 feet away. The suddenness of the flash, Ihc tremendous noise, the Shockwave of air, all combined to make it an experience he'll never forget, he said. And recent' storms in the valley, which have sent bolts crashing down into the city, con firm his story to those who have been nearby. Actually, a forest lookout is a fairly safe place to ride out a storm, despite the fact that their locations subject them to rather more frequent lightning bolts than less exposed areas. Each is protected by a lightning rod (first invented by Benjamin Franklin, incidentallyl, which is grounded by heavy copper wire to the earth. If a lookout building is struck, the electrical charge is conveyed harmlessly into the ground. But Ihe'lookouts, nonetheless, do gel nervous. And we would loo. During electrical storms they have instructions to turn off their radios, and disconnect the anten nas. They stay away from the lephones. And most lookout buildings are equipped with spe N i9 CJ MAS TEA A MASK Nff fW WW A cially constructed insulated stools on which the lookouts can sit or stand. An electrical storm is an awe inspiring thing. It is raw, ele mental nature, powerful and somehow mysterious, and fright ening. And while Curt Nesheim has "never lost" a lookout to lightning, we'd just as soon be somewhere else when a bolt hits. Ambulance Klamath Agency (To the Edi tor) A recent editorial by Floyd Wynne on ambulance service in Klamath County brought forth a righteous roar of indignation from many residents of this area. Mr Wynne presented the side of the slory as given to him by the pri vate ambulance service. Now, with his kind permission, I will try, as objectively as possible, to present the side of the Chiloquin residents I believe the facts will - speak louder than opinions in this case Prior to 1957, the northern part of Klamath County was served en tirely by private ambulance. Even in the summer months it is an hour's drive from Klamath Falls to the northern end of the county Winter, with inclement weather and icy roads made the trip much slower, sometimes even two or three hours for the ambulance to arrive at the scene of the acci dent. In 1956 a life was lost that might have been saved if there had been a more rapid means of moving the injured person to a hos pital. After the unfortunate death, cit izens of the northern part of the county became acutely aware of the need for an ambulance based nearby. A civic group in Chilo quin presented a proposition to the owner of the ambulance service if he would base an ambulance in Chiloquin, they would man it with volunteer help, and he would re tain the proceeds. This offer was refused. After the refusal, there was only one alternative, a public ambu lance, manned by volunteer driv ers. As the police department was getting a new paddy wagon, a lo cal merchant purchased the old one and presented it to the civic group for use as an ambulance. As there was a great deal of public sentiment, donations poured in, and by March, 1957, the am bulance was overhauled, equipped with the necessary items, and ready to go. On March 4, 1957 the initial run was made. From that time until January 17, 1958 the ambulance made 54 runs. These runs were: 19 motor vehicle acci dents, 18 sick calls, three indus trial and 18 other accidents. Early in 1958, local citizens be gan to feel that since their am bulance had made so many calls, it was time for a newer and bet ter vehicle. A fund raising cam paign began, and also the search for a suitable vehicle. As the pub lic ambulance was often called to logging accidents, and lo calls on hack country roads, it was felt that an especially sturdy vehicle was needed. Finally, a specially built ambu lance was located in Los Angeles County, California. It is equipped lo carry seven persons, four stretcher cases, and three ambu latory cases. ' The ambulance carries a supply of oxygen, a resuscitator, and all the olher necessary equipment. The drivers are especially trained in Red Cross first aid. However, the amhulance does not carry plas ma, only members of the medi cal profession are permitted to ad minister plasma. A matter as vital and precious as human life should never become the subject of childish quihble. As the Chiloquin ambulance does not charge for its services, it would he a rather absurd contention that they are competing for busi ness. One breakdown in 102 runs (the number to date) hardly makes the Chiloquin ambulance a make shift.
