By BILL JENKINS Z Dropped down to Mt. Shasta last weekend for the press party mark ing the imminent opening of the Ml. Shasta Ski Bowl, i Quite an operation. The people down thataway have really got Something to work with. ' While there was a remarkable dearth of snow for our visit, an intimate little party of about 401) newspaper, radio and television lugh!) people, you got an excel lent idea of the scope of the hlanned project. The ski tow winds its way up to the ten thousand foot level from the lodqe at Pan ther Meadows. The view is spec tacular and the skiing should be all that could be desired. I cannot speak with authority on that subject since I have always classed skiers along with mountain climbers and motorcycle riders. Another of the many athletic skills that are beyond me. There was a lot of ski people present at the parly, however, ali dolled up in the pretty clothes that go with the sport and all of them eager to answer our questions. There was also an amazing turn out of chamber of commerce peo ple and local men and women who were there solely to see to it that the guests were well taken care of and that no question was left un answered, no request ignored. It was a swell party. 1 think that the bowl is a grow ing idea and that the good which will accrue to the area is beyond estimate. After all, the people who got there to ski arc going to get a good look at the country. And industrialists are great skiers. Who knows? 'Perhaps the industrial growth may parallel the recreation al growth. Plus the tact that the Mount Shasta area in general is a nat ural for winter sports. They have snow in plcnliludc, beautiful sur roundings and the necessary trans portation facilities, highways and railroads. Now all that is needed is adequate housing facilities and things are going to hum. That is my prediction. Skiing, no matter what you think of it or how expert you may or may not be, is one of the faster growing sports. And one of the prettiest from any standpoint. The people who ski arc addicted to fancy clothes and make a prct tv showing. They are also, I say with envy, mostly of the lean and muscular type. Like most of us dream about but never achieve. And today there is ,a greater market for recreation than for any thing else. If ynu can set up the kind of facility that will appeal to the recreation-minded you have it made. I think the Mt. Shasta Ski Bowl has it made. We'll wait and see. IIjiIIoi Mpiikiiim's By FLOYD L. WYNNE Measure No. 5 on the ballot Tuesday, November 4, deals with financing urban redevelopment projects. Intent of the proposal is to pro vide that any increase in valuation of an area being redeveloped shall be used, by way of taxation, to meet debt service on the bonds issued to finance the renewal or redevelopment project. In effect, the measure would permit municipalities or counties lo take the increased taxes -e Milling from such Improvements o help finance Iho Improvements. This measure is not self-enact ing. It will have lo have legisla tive action In implement it. The measure could conceivably be used as a tool to permit areas with substandard seel ions lo develop them, and lei the im proved areas finance part of the improvement. Opponents ol the measure point out that high value properties would slill finance the larger por lion of the tax load, and (here is no assurance that taxes will in cup.ise from the area being do velnped. Measure No. (t is designed lo modify the maximum limitation on county bonded indebtedness At present, (he const it ut ion pro ndes that no county shall have outstanding debts in excess of tt.wxi. except that additional debt may he created to suppress in surrection or to repel invasion, or lo build or maintain mads within (he county. All bonds issued ior road purposes, however, are sub ject to prior approval of a ma jority of those voting on the ques tion, and shall never in ! ag gregate exceed six per cent of as sessed valuation. This new measure would amend Ihis section to permit counties lo have debt In excess ol $.i,non lo carry out purposes authorized ny. law, providing such bonded indent - edness did not exceed limits im posed by the Legislature. This proposition removes .he constitution restriction on the county, and gives the Legislature authority to control purposes and limits of county debt. Those in favor of Ihe measure point out that at present all coun ties must make all capital invest ments out of their regular budgets. Counties with small budgets are seriously hampered by the present law. Opponents point out that two per cent of true cash value is higher than the six per cent of assessed value and it would make the bond ing limit too high. They also say the amendment, is unnecessary because counties al ready have provisions in the con stitution whereby they may obtain funds over and above their budg ets. The end result of passage of tne measure would make it easier for counties to finance such projects as sewers, new courthouses, bridges, parks, etc. Measure No. 7 is apparently a clarification measure that would accomplish several things. First, it would permit a county to have more than one grand jury Under the present law there may be only one grand jury sitting. This often times creates delay when a grand jury becomes involved in a lengthy investigation. It merely clarifies procedure and enables the calling of a second grand jury if found necessary. The second thing it will ac complish will also be speeding up of court procedure. Under terms of Ihe measure a person accused of a crime or a misdemeanor would be permitted to waive indictment to speed up trial and sentence, and a person could officially be charged with a crime on information filed by the district attorney. Discussion of those measures is not designed to influence your vot ing, but ralhcr to clarify the is sue in question so that you can un derstand the measure better, and thus cast a more informed ballot. Opportunity By FLORENCE JENKINS Last year, more than two mil lion boys and girls in more than 8,500 communities across Ihe land collected more than one million dollars for the United Nations In ternational Children's Emergency Fund. Each year lor the p.-.st eight years, an over-increasing number of children and young people have shared their Halloween by "Trick or Treating for UN1CEF." Dozens ol Klamath Falls youngsters par ticipated last year and turned in approximately $250 from this area. The coins dropped into the L'NICEF bags extended by hood ed gliosis and goblins on Hallo ween mean Mie possibility of heal thier and happier lives for some of the world's BOO million sick and hungry children. There is no over all chairman n Klamath Falls Ihis year, ac cording to Chuck Johnson, chair man of Ihe Klamath Falls Chap ter, Oregon United Nations Asso ciation. Several groups of young people arc undertaking a Hallo ween "trick or treat" collection lor UN1CEF however and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson will be gfad lo provide supplies to volunteers. It is an opportunity to share with those less fortunate than our selves and mine volunteers are needed this year. Supplies and additional informa tion arc available by calling Mrs Johnson at Tl'xedo 4-8779. Where has your husband gone.' A duck to shoot. Ihe poor ga loot, He left at crack of dawn.

When I was hunting at Tulc Lake, I met a man who took the cake, He shot an automatic gun And emptied it at every one. Goose or duck, no matter how high, He'd raise it up and let her fly. But the only thing that he hit all day, Was the end of his nose when it got in the way. High diddle diddle, Out in the middle, The ice all mplted at noon.

Ken McLeod Bird Watcher 1" rotes I Klamath Falls (To the Editor) It was with considerable interest that I read "Duck Squawk" in Sunday's edition written by Nel son Reed who chooses to use the Herald and News as a medium to carry his acrimonious attack upon us bird watchers. 1 desire at this time to commend Mr. Reed for this column which so clearly re veals his philosophy of life that holds the burning pangs of a frus trated sportsman still dreaming of the horse and buggy days and who has never lost his worship of a fetish that finds sport in uncon strained bird slaughter. Mr. Reed's cogency as a sports man is well known locally and he has never missed the opportunity to express his opinion in regard tt sportsman conduct, especially when prelcnsion emphasizes nis cleverness as in the case of the story he is so fond of telling about the three legged bird "which Hist lays his listeners in stitches. 1 realize that it is presump luous on my part as an ignorant bird watcher to rise and offer a protest to the profound expression of opinion expounded by the expert wildlife sportsman Reed, never theless, when Ihis fustian chooses to throw his ignorant mud into my (ace, insult my intelligence as well as the intelligence o( many ol your readers, 1 must dissent. Without a doubt, Mr. Reed thought his column was brilliant but I think it was slupid. On the other hand, his philos ophy is most interesting, the duck hunters would be in paradise it we follow his advice, which con sists of gelling rid of Ihe Fish and Wildlife Service, shooting all bird watchers and lzaak Walton League members and putting all of 'he "Try not to catch any females!" IM.-u-k Widows From The Bend Bulletin In recent weeks, The Bulletin has been visited by several "Black Widow" delegations. Mostly, they have been young sters, with their specimens care fully scaled in jars. One "Black Widow" was left overnight. Next morning, The Bulletin had hun dreds of specimens tiny insects crawling over a web the mother had woven. All eventually found their way to the city dump, still captive in the jar. The number of these poisonous widows" around the area t h . s season indicates a population "explosion." A total of 21 different species of these spiders has been listed. They frequent every continent. In Ihe Americas, there are three known species, and they range from Patagonia norlh into southern Canada. In this country, the best- known species is Latrodectus mac tans. It is the shiny black female of this species that carries the scarlet "hourglass" on its under side. The male is a tiny insect, and its lot in life is rather sad. Alter making certain the species will be perpetuated, the voracious female cats the male. Hence the name "Black Widow." These spiders definitely are pois onous, bad is, I heir venom is more potent than that of a rat tler. But only tiny doses are in jected into victims. An antitoxin for the venom was developed as early as 1942. Despite the prevalence of "Black Widows" and the potency of their venom, the fear people hold for them is hardly justified. When one of these "hourglass" spiders is disturbed, it does not attack. It retreats and hides. Fact is, it takes a great deal of irritation to force a "Black Widow" to bite. But, of course, they should not be tolerated around dwellings. In Bend, one man has taken steps to use an insecticide, following dis covery of a "Widow" in his house. The population explosion of the Widows in central Oregon and olher parts of the northwest this season is probably due to the mild winter of 1937-58. Temperature is a factor that governs the range of these spid ers such as grasshoppers, beetles and June bugs. A severe winter. with deep frost would virtually eliminate "Widows" from the plat eau country. IHrticsl Man By HAL R.
