If you don't believe it, go and take a look at the quarters presently serving as a juvenile home. Tlicy are located in the basement and on the second floor :of the Klamath County Public Health Department. The health de partment occupies the main floor -and has a little moi enougn) aa "(titional space on the second floor. .-.The girls have the upper floor :hrea. It is woefully inadequate as a group from the Child Guidance Advisory Council saw recently. The visit to the boys' department in 'the basement was delayed while two young teen-agers from a sis ter city were brought in for de- tention We agree with the statement made by Juvenile Oflicer Francis , Mathews that no more money ishould be spent on the present quarters. Actual floor area is too limited for adequate bathroom fac- I'ililies. There is insufficient recrea tion or exercise area. The kitchen ' is in the basement and has been modernized somewhat. It is obvi ous that many of the improve ments are recent. 1 The hoys and the girls cat at - two separate tables in the dining room adjacent to the kitchen. It -is located only a few steps from the security cells in which mental !y deranged persons are held upon .occasion and well within hearing -distance. ; Much is being done with little :al Klamath Falls' present juvenile : home. Mrs. Georgia Johnson, su . -pervisor of the county juvenile home, and her able assistant showed us a quilt the girls had 'made and material which had .been purchased for another one. .The youngsters are taught clcan-,-liness and cooperation. They help with such useful chores as scrub- bing and waxing the floors. That "is not a total substitute for ex ercise for those who must remain inside - Instead of trying to fix up that place, it is lime to think in terms -of completo facilities. There isp't even enough dormitory space dur liiig crowded periods. Duration of ;slay is not usually very long, which is fortunate, but as the county population grows, so does the nunv .her who must be cared for in the juvenile home, regardless of how -short the period of lime. Private industry expands inlo -areas commensuralc with its "needs. Community and county needs are actually just an exten sion of private needs. We build and maintain more and better parks which is as it should .he. We have a measure on the No vember ballot to insure money lor .'the parks and recreation depart ment. Presumably, belter city- provided recreation helps keep the youngsters out of trouble, llowev .cr, that doesn't relieve us of the responsibility of taking care of .that small minority which gets irlto trouble and for those who may become wards of the court through no fault of their own. H would seem that an adequate juvenile home could well be a joint ily and county project. To pick ju.vl one item on which the city recreation department could save a considerable sum, take a look it the effort which has been made ;to provide a skating rink just be yond the entrance to Moore Park. Kven doubling the size of the rink and sealing it with something which was supposed to keep the space. Any little thing you might want to take along, such as cig arettes or lipstick and so on. you will have to keep in a sack lied to you or it will go floating a over the space ship. To keep the air in the cabin pure enough to breathe, you will breathe into an algae container. The algae will convert the car hon dioxide you exhale into oxy gen you inhale. Then too you will live on a diet of algae which in turn will live on the by-products of human waste. Clever stuff al gae, and here all the time we have been worrying about how to get rid of gobs of it. The first space travelers will be practically "wired for sound." so the smart boys who stay on the ground can learn what's going on upstairs. If the traveler begins to talk a bit nutty, and who might not in that completely rarefied at mosphere, the groundlings can ci ther give him corrective treatment or write him off as an unreliable witness. Personally I am glad that I am going to be too old to go in 1370. and besides which $20,000 for a very long monotonous trip in a squirrel cage with nothing to look forward to for dinner but more algae, all the while being tied down by the scat of my magne tized pants, just doesn't appeal to me. a report has been given. We have reason to believe that this report will be put into operation in future years and that our water reserves will grow more, not less Thus, we have many things at tractive to a pulp and paper oper ation. At the same time, a pulp and paper operation is very great ly needed in this area to com plement our economy. Much work has been done to help the International Paper Company reach a decision on a location. But publicity at this time is not helping. Truly we need gas along with other utilities. The company has, as a matter of course, asked how soon natural gas would be piped into this area. If we are to have consuming industry, we may be sure that the utilities supplying gas will get into this area as quickly as possible. The question asked by the In t e r n a t i o n a 1 Paper Company doesn't mean that the site pro posed here has been selected. When The News-Review was planning to build we, too, asked when natural gas would be avail able. But we haven't built yet. The governor's office issued a re port to the effect that the gas util ity had been queried. This, he con jectured, meant the International Paper Company would make an announcement soon. Nothing was definite, but it made good public- is his car tare home. As the game proceeds the cold creeps up from the cement through the fan's shoes all the way to his knees. He feels awful. He would leave early and avoid the crowd, but he knows he will never make it through the massed bodies. After .an eon the final whistl blows. The fan is extruded through the exit like toothpaste from a tube. He waits on the chilly sub way platform nearly an hour be fore he can push into a train Tottering with fatigue he reach es home and turns on the radio. He learns that England has won 5 to 0. He will have to do without beer or cigarettes until payday. He feels wonderful. He has been present, with 99.000 others, when England avenged the defeat which knocked them out of the world soccer cup in Stockholm last summer. .lumping Th UiiiiI'V . ,nc"lhy 8 n,ce P'cce of " 'nnllllr-al mnnthinf II.. nil Dt l.-O T CTAVTAV ' Editor Roseburg News-Review Much against the will of the In ternational Paper Company, the activities and projects of that com pany again are being used for political purposes. Governor Holmes has been slriv ing to justify the cost of his De partment of Planning and Develop ment. We had a commission on industry at one time. That group pleaded earnestly for more mon ey. The Legislature was told there couldn't be much efficiency on the meager budget allowed. The old commission was booted. The governor, in effect, said he wanted someone who would work. With a governor and Legislature from the same party, the money asked by the previous commission and then some was granted. An executive secretary was employed, and other steps taken. The gover nor has used this department very frequently as a political sounding board. So far as 1 have been able to observe, the present department has done no more for the state of Oregon in the way of new in dustrial operation than did the pre vious commission, and the old com mission worked with much less money. Rut all this is beside the point Governor Holmes has been tell ing what Oregon expects to get Most industrial projects take sev eral years to consummate, so pres ent prospects were under consid eration long before Holmes be came governor. The latest concerns the Interna tional Paper Company's proposed pulp and paper plants near Rose burg and Klamath Falls. Obviously the company has been conducting extensive investigations. A site for a pulp and paper plant involves many factors. There must lie water now and in the future. There must be suitable site fa cilities. Transportation to and from must be adequate. There should be plenty of gas and electricity. But the International Paper This "release" was picked up by The Oregonian and played into a news item. An analysis will indicate that ev eryone is guessing. Nothing has been reported yet concerning a lo cation. International Paper Company will announce its decision 'in its own lime and in its own way. We an ticipatc it will strive to avoid pol itics as much as possible. The premature publicity may be help ing Governor Holmes, but it cer tainly isn't helping the slate of Ore gon and, more particularly, our own chances.

COOPER LONDON (API-It is the day of the season's biggest international soccer game, between England and the Soviet Union. The typical British fan, who digs ditches for the Borough Council, )ias no ticket. If he is going to go, he will have to get one from a scalper at Wembley Stadium. The fan has assured himself he can afford neither a ticket nor the loss of a day's work. He will not go. But shortly after noon he crams himself into a subway train along with hundreds of his peers, Wem bly bound. Along the parade way leading from the subway station to the stadium a religious organization has posted several signs. They read, in order: "Sin Is a Reproach to Any People," "All Have Sinned." "The Coming of the Lord Drawcth Nigh" and "Prepare To Meet Thy God." By the time he gels to the sta dium the fan is in starting condi- lon for a disaster. He approaches a ticket scalper who demands 10 shillings $1.40 for a three-shilling sixpence 50 cents ticket to standing room in Section D. far behind one of the goals. The fan ripostes with an offer of seven shillings sixpence $1.05 which is refused with hauteur The fan forks over 10 shillings and wends his way to Section D. By game time the concrete tor races oi section D are so crammed with people the fan would be unable lo fall down if he fainted. He is screened from the playing field by a phalanx of men seven feet tall. From time to time there is a roar from the crowd. The Tan as sumes something is happening but is unable to confirm it visually. At halflime a kindly policeman in forms everybody England is lead ing 1 to 0. The fan badly needs a drink He is alraid to go down to the bar for fear he would be unable to wedge hinvsclt back into Section D. The queue would be too long for him to get waited on anyway. Besides, nil the money he has let! OPEN SEASON cfV) "I'll raise you two ontolopo ond on okopi!" Aswmi Hum By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State Dulles says the Soviet promise to help build Egypt's high Aswan dam is nothing to get terribly excited about. That's putting the best possible face on a bad situation, for it's hard to see how the United States can get anything but damage from this deal. True, it's possible the Russians will run into trouble with volatile Egyptian President Nasser, that the dam won't get built, and that Russian-Egyptian relations will turn sour. More likely the dam will get built and Russian influence in Egypt will increase. Nasser, who promised the Egyp tians a better life and got side tracked with his outside adven tures, needs the dam to make good on his promises. Soviet Premier Khrushchev- an nounced last week the Soviet Union would not only lend Nasser 100 million dollars for the dam but participate in building it. So, the American problem with the dam has made a full turn of the wheel, It's been a turn full oi shock and surprises. The result of all of it is to make Nasser more dependent on the Soviet Union than ever. It's one further step the Soviet Union takes into the Middle East. The story revolves around two things which got jumbled together after Nasser and his friends threw out King Farouk in 1952 and start ed out to make a new Egypt. He asked this country for arms and for money to build the dam. The dam was to provide electric power and irrigation which meant more food for Egyptians. , He wanted the arms, he said, for defense against Israel. The United States balked at giving arms. Nasser made it known he'd get the arms, even if he had to get them from the Communists. So he got them from Czechoslovakia. By this time he was obviously seeking American help by creat ing fear here the Communists would help if we didn't. Meanwhile, the United States, after a lot of delay, perhaps some of it needless, arranged to give ISasscr a loan to build the dam. But the United States didn't come through with its offer to help on the dam until it saw Nasser wasn't bluffing about getting arms from the Communists. In July 1956, the Senate Appro priations Committee told the Ei senhower administration not fo use any of the foreign aid money vot ed that year to help Egypt build the dam. Finally, fed up with Nasser and under pressure from friends abroad not to make the loan to Nasser, the Eisenhower adminis tration withdrew its offer. The overheated Nasser, in a fury of retaliation, seized the Suez Canal. Not long afterwards Brit ain. France and Israel invaded Egypt. They were called off by the in tervention of the United States and the Soviet Union. From then until now the idea of the dam was left dangling. In these past two years Nasser has been busy spreading his in fluence in the Middle East and creating hatred for the United States. Despite his victories outside Egypt, It's questionable he could have retained the Egyptians' de- otion indefinitely unless he began to make good on his promises of better things at home. Some optimists no doubt would like to think Nasser may become so involved in his internal im provements that he'll quiet down on his outside adventures. Probably the opposite will hap pen, for with visible evidence of big improvements at home "the Egyptians are likely lo back him more strongly than ever in the trouble he causes abroad par ticularly for th United States.
