WYNNE Monthly is a noud time to clean the slate and get ready lor a now week. There are a lew odds 'n' ends thai have heen kicking around my typewriter looking lor a spot to land so here goes: In case you're not aware of it, just hecause a man is wearing jeans or denims docs not mean hcs wearing levis. Some time ago we had a story nlioul a light in winch it was slat ed, "He reported they were all Wearing levis. . . ." Somehow the story trickled hack tn the public relations department ol the Levi Strauss Company in San Francisco and we received the following note: "We wish to point out that the name Levi's is registered in the United States Talent Office and denotes merchandise manufac tured only by Levi Strauss and Company. We hasten to advise nt H,it l,.t ,,rl clir-il cooperation to prevent any luture misuse of the mark. We would also like to point out that the trademark should always be spelled wilh a capital "L" and an apostrophe "s" demiting the pos sessive case." We stand corrected. Next lime we see a m a n In levis . . . mips . . . Levi's . we'll cheek the label first, and omit the commercial plug second. Another one wc had to shake the dust from lir.it: Mrs. W. H. Schooler. Redding, recently wrote a letter to the edi tor of the Redding paper. In part she said: "We just re lumed horn a trip to Oregon and J whs so impressed wilh Klamath Falls I think it would be well for our city couuedmen and city man ager to visit this city and see how it is run. "Instead of taking the beautiful corner lots lor parking as we have done, the merchants in Klamath Falls turnish their own parking lots, and they do not have empty parking lots all over town as we do. incir stores arc lovely: you can find anything you want in the stores of Klamath Falls, in fact their stores are heller than in Sac ramento.

Ogtlt'ii nsli liy HAL HOYLE NEW YORK iAP "There Is mi awful lot of tightrope walking in the world today," said Ogdcn Nash. "There arc so many sore Iocs thai a humorist can't help step ping on a few." When he was 10 and his older sister was about lo he married. Nash composed an ode long chcr-l Entered as second class matter at the post office at Klamath Falls, Ore., on August 20. 1906 under act of Congress. March I. 1A73 SERVICES: ASSOCIATED I'RESS UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Serving Southern Oregon And Northern California ished by his family. It began "The beautiful spring at last is here. And has taken my sister I sadly Icar." Some 4i years, 50,000 published lines, and a million chuckles later Nash is widely rated as Amer ica's most successful writer ol light verse. His 13 books the latest is, "You Can't Get There From Here" have sold nearly two million cop ies. With the possible exception ol Robert Frosl. he probably is the only well known American author who has made a living in the last quarter century Ironi verse. "I'm something of a freak." he admitted. "I've been lucky." Bui even Nash has lound it ad visable to toil part-time in other vineyards. He lectures, has done Iwo stints in Hollywood, written lyrics lor Broadway shows, ap peared as a TV panelist. His latest television assignment was to write the lyrics lor six songs for "Peter and the Wolf," starring Art Carney and presented Sunday over the ABC-TV network. "The only love song was sung by a near-sighted dog to a duck under the impression she was a water spaniel." he said. This kind of chore delights the oflbeat mind of Nash, master ol the kind of outrageous ihymcs thai tickle modern readers but give traditional poels a desire to beat their heads against a wall. I think in terms of rhyme, and have since I was six years old, ' he said. He once almost fell in love with a lady named Mrs. Blorangc. She fascinated him because of the sim ilarity of her name t orange which, like the words silver and pilgrim, have no dictionary rhymes. Nash begun his career compos ing streetcar card ads al $100 a month for a linn which previous ly hud employed F. Scott Fitzger ald in this task. "1 never wrote a car card that appeared in New York City," he said, ".lust places like Chilli Icothe, Ohio." Nash, a soit-voiced, hazel-eyed six footer wilh an habitual expres sion of absent-minded inquiry, is a painstaking craltsman. He turns out only one or two verses a week now, writing in pencil on sheets of yellow paper. "I work at home because there are so many interruptions there." he remarked. "I like interrup tions." Neither the ideas nor the rhymes come easily. Writing is slill hard work to him. 'The Lord doesn't usually de liver everything to you in one package as a rule," he observed dryly. Although he has strong doubts his verses have enduring literary quality "fashions in humor change as in everything else" he believes "anything that is to last more than live years has to be more than merely clever. "I like lo think that behind my work there is a consistent indi vidual point of view toward life something more than just jokes and odd rhymes." His viewpoint? "This is our world, and we're lucked in it." he said, "and we have lo learn lo survive together, whether wc love or admire each other or not. We must adjust lo each oilier." Asked it he felt any ol his verse had done any enduring good for the human race, Nash, a highly unpretentious man, smiled and nominated the following lines, the most widely reprinted of all lie has written: "I think that I shall never see A billboard lovely as a tree. Perhaps, unless the billboards all. I'll never see a tree al all." SHORT RIBS cian - UAN4 CIAN4 CLANS CUNfr (.Mi am I'rt'tliclions By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK lAf-i Just as June is the month of brides De cember is the month of those who read lea leaves to foretell the fu ture of business. And already the predictions are lor belter days ahead perhaps because the days behind weren't notably loo good. The Agriculture Department is out on the limb with a forecast that everything will be better in 1!)39 except larm income. This limb is a bit shaky because farm income depends on many things. hut a major one is weather. And even Washington isn't too corffi dent when predicting weather. Most corporate executives now holding lorlh think business will be better particularly for their own firms. They're counting heavily on the consumers. And the Prudential In surance Co. of America says that consumers will spend IB billion dollars more next year for a rec ord 307 billion dollars. The share that will go for con sumer durables autos, household appliances and the like will rise Iroiri this year's 36'j billion dol lars to 40 billion dollars next year and 46 billion in 1960. according to I he economists of McGraw-Hill, business publication firm. Dun St Bradstreet says all but a handful of 109 corporate execu tives it queried expect business to be better next year, although none predicts an out and out boom un til the 60 s. F. W. Dodge Corp.. which keeps a watchful eye on construc tion contract awards, reports that they've been setting monthly rec ords the last six months, and that should mean plenty of activity in the months ahead. Prudential economists spread their optimism over more terri tory than almost anyone else. They predict: 1. A substantial in crease in employment ( 1 'i million more jobs); 2. A rise m wages i although maybe at not quite so fast a rate as in the pastt; and 3. Gains in corporate profits al though not much change in divi dend payments). Business will reverse its 1938 policy of living off inventories and will slarl adding to them again in 1959. This should add 7'i bil lion dollars lo national output, say Ihe insurance men. They also think business will spend more on plant and equipment, some two billion dollars more. On perhaps surer ground, Ihey predict that federal government spending will rise by 3'j billion dollars, stale and local spending by lour billion dollars. F. W. Dodge also reports con tracts for residential building so far this year are 10 per cent ahead ol last year. And the insurance boys think 1939 should see home buyers shelling out one billion dol lars more this year, with lions- ns starts rising by 50.000 to l'i billion units. But prices of most consumer goods, the Prudential economists say cheerfully, will be restrained from rising much during the first half of 1939 because Of "the tem porary excess in the labor force, together wilh increased produc tivity per manhour and an excess in plant capacity." ColllIlillllKMII By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analvst WASHINGTON tAP-Tlie Rus sians and Red Chinese are now testing the Cnited States' basic loreign policy containment which was thought out and start ed in the late 1940s. That policy called for military alliances and bases around the perimeter ol the Communist world lo prev ent its expansion. It worked line so long as the Communist By Frank O'Neal Subscription Rates CARRIER I MONTH MONTHS I YEAR MAIL t 1.50 $ 9.00 . $18.60 $ 1.50 . $ 8.50 1 MONTH ... 6 MONTHS 1 YEAR 15.00 world was weak and trying to gut organized. It's weak no longer. The policy of containment is also essentially preservation of the status quo. And since its in ception the West has been con ducting a holding operation, with no new ideas. But in a changing world, indcli- nite preservation of the status quo is an illusion. It's like riding up to meet onrushing events in a rocking chair. The result: Instead of acting with new ideas, fresh approaches, the West has been reduced simply lo re acting when the Communist world, Soviet or Red Chinese, has acted. Once again it is being forced to react this time against the great est Soviet test of Western contain ment at Berlin. The Soviets want the Western powers lo abandon this city which is 110 miles with in Communist East Germany. That would leave the city al ready divided between West Ger mans and East German Commu nistsan island entirely within the sea of Communist East Ger many. Almost certainly the cily would be engulfed by communism. President Eisenhower and Sec retary of State John Foster Dulles both talk of standing firm. Wheth er standing firm is the answer, will be clearer in the next few months. Premier Nikila Khrushchev has given the West six months to moke a deal of some kind or get out. But whatever the West does it will be acting only in response to a previous Soviet action. And, because the Soviet Union is now strong and has at its side an increasingly strong ally in Red China, the West faces the pros pect of one Soviet move after an other to smash the whole contain ment policy. There's been a lot of specula tion on what Khrushchev is after by this sudden decision on Berlin. Equally significant, if the answer were known, is why he chose this particular time to make his thrust. If he can back the United Slates down on Berlin, this country's smaller allies in Weslcrn Europe not only will be shaken but will have reason to question their re liance on Ihe United States in Ihe cold war with Ihe Soviet Union. The United States, Britain and France all with occupation rights in Berlin are supposed to get to gether and answer Khrushchev in one voice. What Khrushchev and the rest of the world arc waiting to see is whether Ihe answer shows vi tality and imagination, weakness, indecision, or a repetition of old ideas now being challenged by communism. (gut'Kf ions - By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. Written For NEA Service Today's first question is undoubt edly a matter ol deep concern to many married couples. Q Recently I had a hysterec tomy. I wish you would discuss what is' done in this operation and how it may affect a person. -Mrs. S. A Ordinarily a hysterectomy today consists in the removal of the womb, leaving the ovaries in place. The general eifect conse quently is Ihe cessation of month ly periods, but the continuation of hormone secretion Irani the ova- ies (providing the woman is young enough to continue to manufacture them). There appear to be rumors that this operation exerts an unfavor able eficct on marital relations, but there is no reason why this should be Ihe case. Actually, m many instances marital relations appear to improve following a hysterectomy because of the re moval of the (ear of , unwanted pregnancy. Q I have enlarged pores on my race and am only 36. Is there any thing 1 can do? S. P. A It seems generally nard lo correct this once it has occurred. Careful cleanliness and possibly the use of astringent lotions might help. However, this is a skin prob lem and I would not Iry anything without getting the O K of a skin specialist. Q I recently read that some lea which was shipped to New York contained radioactivity. Docs this mean that tea drinking can oe dangerous? T. R. A This was an interesting story When the tea was landed, the U S.
