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.

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

NEW YORK i API - .Magazines
today are full of articles on
the evils of retirement. 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.

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-

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.

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.
