look as though they were picked
by a Hollywood casting director.
But the campaign has heen no
hit at the box olficc.
The whole thing has party heads
on both sides ball led. It figures
to be a very close election. But
no crowds, no heat and not much
voter interest have shown so (ar.
Running (or the Republicans is
U.S. Rep. Robert W. Kean, 65-
year-old veteran congressman and
millionaire investment banker
with a U.S. Senate tradition in his
family. His gray hair, almost
white mustache and dignified car
nage conform lo one of the popu
lar ideas of what a senator looks
like.
Opposing Kean is Harrison A.
Williams Jr., 38-year-old lawyer
and former congressman. Dark
haired and boyish-looking. Wil
liams personifies the young, lib
eral Democratic candidate.
They are battling (or the seat
being vacated by Sen. H. Alexan
dcr Smith. 78-year-old Republican
who is retiring.
Kean's 20-year record in Coir
gross has been the main hattle-
ground. He backs the Eisenhower
foreign policy, favors economy in
government and speaks often with
pride about Social Security law
amendments be has sponsored.
Williams, who olten backed Ei
senhower's (oreign policy when he
was in Congress from VJM to
is more critical nowadays. But
he charges that there is a marked
isolationist trend in Kean's rec
ord. He says much ol Kean's work
the Social Security law was
technical and that many times
Kean voted against the basic
ideas Involved.
A large unspoken part of Wil
liams' campaign is the Sherman
Adams issue. Kean admits the
Adams case may cost him votes.
even though be was one of the
(irst Republicans to call (or Ad
ams resignation as President El
senhower's top aide, alter Adams
was shown to have accepted fa
vors (rom a (riend who was in

ment.
Both men have concentrated on
personal campaigns, with little re
liance on television and radio.
While their schedules are basic
ally similar, Williams relies more
on rallies at union halls and fewer
teas and coffee hours than Kean.
Both men travel around the
state in automobile caravans led
by sound trucks I Kean's unac
countably features a recording of
"Happy Days Are Here Again,"
the New Deal theme songt.
While Williams thrives on cam
paigning, he worries about stay
ing away from home too much.

and stays home with their five
young children.

year at Dunsmuir High School.
Dieter Heinrich of Frankfort on
-Main. Germany, is also a Duns
muir High senior. He is the com
munity's American Field Service
student this year and he can
easily understand Susan's feelings
about "uncrossable" borders and
refugees seeking new homes. He
was born in Silesia, now part of
Czechoslovakia, and his early mem
ories are of (leeing ahead of the
Russian soldiers.
However, he, his parents and
two brothers have been established

Dieter's foster family for the
year are Mr. and Mrs. Durward
Gass and their two sons, Lee and
Gerald. Dieter shares a room with
Lee who is a junior at Dunsmuir
High.
He finds family life in America
much busier than in Germany.
Mrs. Gass teaches tailoring
courses and is active in church
and sororjty activities. He was
surprised to find that most of the
mothers in the neighborhood are
engaged in some activity outside
their homes.
Susan's home for the summer
was with the Wilhelm Loeb family.
She found them a happy, well-knit
group despite the fact that Mrs.
Loeb was the family's principal
support. War experiences had shat

"If you like someone, you spend

Mothers who wring their hands
over juvenile delinquency and
wonder what the younger genera
tion is coming to might find a clue
by looking into the reading habits
of their offspring, says Eugene
Ackerman. a retired executive
who has been studying this mat
ter of late.
"If young people read such
books as 'Tom Sayyer' and
'Huckleberry Finn', 'Robinson
Cruso' and 'Gulliver's Travels',
instead o( the mawkish filth that
is poured out for them, they not
only would have a healthier slant
on life, but would discover the ex-i
citement of good reading." says
Ackerman. He has just added to
the current supply of juvenile ad
venture literature with his first
book, "Jeb and the Bank Rob
bers." a tale of youthful blood and
thunder in a little Indiana town of
the 18's.

Lake County
Fires Noted
LAKEVIEW Two hunter-caused
forest fires occurred on the Fre
mont National Forest areas dur
ing the past weekend, Forest Su
pervisor Clayton Weaver reports.
A hunter's campfire, which es
caped control Sunday, Oetober 12,
near Antler Spring about 10 miles
southeast of Dog Lake, was dis
covered and promptly brought un
der control by Fremont crews.
John Saunders, fireman from Dog
Lake, who first reached the fire
found that apparently a hunter had
left his fire unattended and on
returning to camp, found that it
had escaped. There was evidence
that he had tried to control the
fire but was unable to and picked
up his camp and left. It burned
about one-fourth of an acre.
Another hunter fire on Salt Creek
which burned about one-eighth of
an acre was suppressed by Forest
Service crews on the Warner Dis
trict on October 12.
The opening days of the deer
hunting season last week brought
nine fires to the rremont horest.
Air patrol was flown over the en
tire forest during this period. The'
south end was covered by Myron
Buswell, with Rod Canutt and Don'
Allen as observers. The norlh end'
was covered by Stinson of Klam
ath Falls, with Bud Brookins as
observer.
There were five camper fires in
the Silver Lake District. Two were
on October 4. two on October S,
and one on October 6. All were-'
quickly controlled at less than -a
quarter of an acre.
One fire on the Paisley Ranger
District. October 4. about one and
one half miles west of Fremont
Point, was controlled at about twrc
acres. It was started by a waring,
ing fire in a remote area. On the
same day. near Mud Spring on the
Drews Valley District, a fira
caused by a smoker was found hy..
hunters and held until the fire'
crew arrived. Another on Whisky
Creek in the same district, caused
hy a smoker, was held by hunters
who found it. The fourth October,
4 fire was in the Bly District,,
caused by a smoker, and con
trolled at about one-quarter of an
acre. -
