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. I would rather shop there
than in San Francisco. They haw
no city, county or slate sales lax

.Mighty lino words lor our city.
Speaking of city compliments
Some time ago, Sen Diehard Ncu
liei ger included kind words f o r
Klamath Falls in his "Washington

Thanks. Dick.
Now, my nagging conscience is
appeased, and my file ol things-tn-be-notcd
is a little slimmer.

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

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."

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."

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.

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.
Food and Drug Administration
went right to work and examined
it. both by usual methods and by
deliberately brewing it stroi.g.
Without going into details ol the
tests, the conclusion reached was
that the amount of radioactivity
present In the tea was well be
low established tolerance, was sale
and could be released for sale
The promptness and thoroughness
of these studies shows how well
ue are protected against potential
hazards.
