JNilalo I'rop By FLORENCE JENKINS This year's potato crop is the highest since 1930, both nationally and in the Klamath Basin. .. Whether or not the Klamalh Ba sin potato growers are going to bp in a bolter position financially than last year depends, of course Cn the final prices for this year's Crop. - Plans (or a national public infor rnation program to rescue, the po Ulo from the food faddists have been undertaken by the National Potato Council. 'The council, which has two Klamath Basin potato men as di rectors Louie Lyon of Malin and Cliff Jenkins of Tulclake is holding a three-day convention in Washington, D.C., this week .'Aim ol the public information program is to double potato con sumption. -"Potatoes are the cheapest food one can purchase, declares A. E Mercker, executive director of the Council. "They are low in calor les, only 318 calories in a whole pound of potatoes, yet commercial nutritionists have scared the potalo off the family menu with their Cries that potatoes are starchy and therefore fattening." The council has set up its own nutrition committee to prove the fallacy of the "fattening" charge. The committee is preparing a truth campaign to rescue the potato from the rich sauces and gravies Which are calorie-laden and put the potato back on the family menu a( a vital element in the diet. - The committee quotes Dr. J. B Brown of Ohio State University who says We should eat twice as fiiany potatoes as we do so that we would eat less of the more harmful foods." We maintain, along with the Na tional Potato Council, that there Is no finer food lhan a potato. And when it is baked and served hot on the table, right from the oven, it is sheer ambrosia. Serve It with butter, or if the diner is ton-calorie conscious, n dollop of cottage cheese. j -'.A farmer once gave us an em phatic answer to the allegation that pptaloes are fattening: ;"If you tried to raise a hog on nothing but potatoes, he'd be skin and bones and starve to. death." He was proving, without doubt, that even a porker needs a bal anced diet to he healthy and that potatoes simply are not fattening. birds in areas adjacent to grain lands. By all means let us keep some areas in a primitive state, areas such as the forest Service and the Park Service have already set aside, but if we do not want to be taken over completely by fed eral bureaus, let s never stand still while they tie annlher bureaucrat ic millstone around our necks! VildiriMss ESill By NELSON REED The proposed Wilderness Area Bill on which a hearing was held In Bend last week and on which other hearings will be held through out the West, has all the earmarks of another land grab by a new federal bureau lo be created hy the act. The bill proposes that a wilderness area department be created to take over from the For est Service and the National Park Service the creation and protec tion of primitive or wilderness arras. :We have always felt that vwldcr ns or primitive areas should he preserved and from persunsl ob servation in this area, we think that the Forest Service and the Park Service have been doing a good job of it. To create another bureau lo take over the job seems to us to be a useless duplication. lr lias always been the history of every newly crealed federal bu reau that it immediately develops a burning desire to grow big and important, to hire more people and spend more money, and grab more land off the lax rolls. in a county UKO Mamnui where at least two thirds of the land area already belongs to the federal gov ernment . and bureaus like the (ih and wildlife are right now reach ing out lor ever more and more private land that will he laken oil the lax rolls, the t.ixpajers and voters of this ccui'tv should (.ike every means possible lo prevent thr crealion of any more federal bureaus.

They're enough to frighten a man out of the desire to grow old. They make retirement sound' more dangerous than Sunday driving. Some people are always knock ing a good thing, but we doubt that they'll ever make retirement really unpopular with the working classes. The big peril seems to he that a fellow suddenly turns 6, is cut off the payroll, and doesn't know what to do with himself. He finds it hard to adjust to a new way of life. The answer, of course, is sim pie. Start getting ready for re tirement early in life, so when it does come it will find you ready. Here are a few down-to-earth tips the kind the magazines don't dare give you: At 25 start borrowing money from your relatives and friends. If they are like most relatives and friends, it will take you at least 40 years of steady borrowing to build you up a really decent retirement fund. Begin loafing on the job at 35. and loaf more each year. By the time you're 65 you'll he used to not working, and Ihere'll be no sudden shock when you have to hang up the harness forever. If the boss objects, explain your pro gram to him fully and honestly. He'll understand. He's probably doing the same thing himself. Since most people spend most of their time making mountains out of molehills, he sure to lay in a good supply of molehills while you are young. You don't want to be caught short in your old age. Doctors often advise retired peo ple lo take a nip before each meal o help Iheir circulation. Why not start this form of medication ear lier, so your system can get used to it? After 40 start the morning off with a bracing martini. After 65 a man's chief lorm of exercise is criticizing his wife. Hut why wait? You might as well get in a few workouts with the old girl in advance. At 45 you can slart telling her what's wrong with her, thus giving her 20 years to perfect herself belore you retire and begin your full-time criticism. After retirement a man needs less strenuous hobbies. Why not give up girl watching around 50. and lake up tree watching? It is not only more restful, it is less expensive. Hint: Avoid watching pine trees they're too stimulat ing. Pick an acorn and watch it become an oak. At 55 give up things that excite or overload the circulatory sys tem such as fried foods, red heads and politics. At B.i the only thing a man can afford to give away is advice. Rut if you can. get rid of it before you retire and save this later drain on your energy. Anybody who adopts these sim ple steps will find it easy to adjust to retirement, when it comes, and live forever. Well, anyway it will seem like forever. though a person dreads the tube the first lime, it is r.ot painful A great many patients learn to do it themselves without difficulty Another thing that is usually done is to examine a sample of intes tinal waste for blood since the doc tor needs to know whether the ul cer is bleeding. Important in any study of the stomach is the X-ray. For this the patient is given a liquid' to drink which contains barium. The bar ium keeps the rays from going through so lhat the stomach, can be seen in a sort of silhouette pic ture. An ulcer pocket usually can be seen by this method so that its location and size are accurately known. It is also possible to' look direct ly into the stomach by means of an ingenious flexible tube fitted with mirrors. This is called a gas troscope and is useful for gastrit is, or inflammation of the stomach lining also. Today it is even pos sible to take pictures of the inside of the stomach. Tests of these kinds are neces sary as a preliminary to treat ment. But something should be said about treatment. People often get confused and wonder why one person is treated one way for ul cer and the next-door neighbor an other. The answer is simple. The treat ment depends on the location of the ulcer, on its size, on the symp toms produced, on the age or oc cupation of the patient and any other factors which vary from one person to another. In general, medical treatment is aimed at avoiding irritation of the ulcer from acid, nervous strain or anything else so lhat the ulcer will be given a chance lo heal. Sur gical treatment, of which there are several Kinds, nas a simitar pur pose unless the particular opera tion is for removal of the ulcer and the stomach area around it. Which of these various methods o use demands careful study and expert weighing of all the factors n each individual person. W hen I hear them, I cannot but help think of my grandmother who said, "Remember child, when the church bells ring the time and you stop to check your watch, be sure you check your soul at the same time." On the other hand, when some unneighborly one lets his dog keep ou awake hour after hour, it is hard to think of the many nice people in this world of ours. Emma Burk. 1H12 Manzanita Moiii(c!i ToM.n By EDWIN JORDAN, M. D. Suppose one has pain in the stomach region or some other pe culiar stomach sensations for a week or two and goes to the doc tor. The story that you tell nmy raisr the suspicion of ulcer of the stomach, but the doctor needs lo make sure before starting treat ment. There are ir.iny things he can do. One is to give a special test meal, withdraw the stomach con tents through a' rubber tube after a little while and examine the ma terial (or acid and other things. This is of enormous help, and al- ts Mail Hag Despite what some veterans may believe, I here is no grace period for the late payment of install ments on (if loans, Veterans Ad ministration announced. Thus, the agency added, veterans should make Iheir GI loan pay ments on or before the date they are due. Failure to do so may prove cost ly, VA pointed out, since GI lend ers may make an exlra service charge when payments are re ceived late. VA warned that veterans who gain the reputation of being "chron ic delinquents" will find their lend ers taking that fact into account if Ihe veterans should ever need an extension of repayment time on Iheir GI bands. In addition In Iheir loss of cred it standing, veterans who become delinquent in their payments may ultimately be faced with Ihe loss of the property acquired with their GI loans, VA said. nihil ion Klamath Kails (To the Editor) In these days when so many people are talking about the prob lems of inflation land they should hei I would like lo refer. them to a few words in the November is sue of "The Freeman," a maga zine devoted to economic education. "The Freeman" is free for the ask ing by writing to the magazine at lrvinglon and Hudson Streets, New York. N Y. The message follows: "The sad fact is that inflation is no econom ic fairy godmother. There is no magic in money to produce some thing for nothing, and when gov ernment creates money faster than its citizens create value, it docs not create wealth; it only creates in flation, which is (he illusion of wealth. While inflation may seem al first to provide some people something for nothing, it is only transferring value from one group lo another, and if continued, even tually robs everyone even Ihe "smart" boys. "When the American people can courageously face up to the fact that there is no such thing as something for nothing: that there is no real security without risk; that money cannot be manipulated to produce wealth; that there is no substitute for human endeavor and individual wisdom and responsibil ity; then, and only then, can we bring America back to economic reality, which in turn will put our feet on the path to sound growth and true prosperity." I imagine the facts and sugges tions in the above article would he taken lightly by some. How ever, there is one thing that can not be disputed. This is that whenever money is created and pin inio circulation at a taster rate lhan the production of goods, then value of money will become less and the value of things with intrinsic value will be higher. This is a universal law lhat never has been and never will be repealed. Ken Bailey 523 Lincoln EiiiHitH's Wck?
