TU 4-4752 tlirifiiiH l a ril n By FLORENCE JENKINS What to do with Christmas cards when Die Christmas deco rations are taken down at the end of each holiday season is a prob lem in many families.. They are too lovely to tear up or burn and a little bulky to bun- . die up and save for next year to form the basis for the 1059 Christ mas card list. From the National Housing Center comes an appeal to send Christmas cards to them to be turned over to two nuns in the art-department of a small girls' college in California. The Immaculate Heart College has received national acclaim for its unique style of art lounded and fostered by Sister Magdalen Mary, I.H.M., chairman of the art department, and Sister Mary Cor ita, I.H.M., professor of art. -They specialize in use of broken bits of pottery, old jewelry, scraps of cloth, magazines, Christmas card art and other items to create beautiful mosaics and other works Of art. The art work of this school came inlo prominence when its students created special banners for an exhibit celebrating the cen tennial of the American Institute of Architects in 1957. The Sisters have let it be known through the Housing Center that they can use the lovely art that decorates so many Christmas cards. Some will be used for their decorations, others for special de signs. The Housing Center will act as a collection point and transship per of old Christmas cards. The cards should be mailed to the National Housing Center, lf25 L. Street, N.W., Washington 8, D.C. There are undoubtedly organize-1 tlons in Klamath Falls seeking Christmas cards, too, but the Hous ing Center's appeal has been the first one to reach this newspaper this year. Spud lliioslpr Lake Worth, Florida (To the Editor) On October 1 my mother wrote that they were coming to visit me in Miami and would be leaving October 15.. Was there any- thing she could bring me? Be sides themselves there was only one request, Klamath Potatoes! In the last 10 years I have lived or been in nearly every state in the United States and two dif ferent prefectures In Japan. Dur ing this time I have sampled every kind of potato grown from Maine to Tokyo. Be they northern or southern, new or old, boiled, baked. fried, hashed, or scalloped they just aren't potatoes as I know them unless they are Klamath Netted Gems! On October 30 afler a 4,500 mile trip across the U.S. a shiny new car sporting an Oregon license ar rived in my driveway. The car was unpacked and first to come into the house was not the lug gage but a huge box of potatoes, compliments of Roy Whitlatch. At the suggestion of my par ents, the Stanley Maslons, I was about to give some of my prize to Uie neighbors and do some free advertising when my husband, who is an easterner and strictly a meat and potatoes man, caught me red handed. "Where do you think you're going?" he ques tioned. To which 1 replied, "Out to spread good cheer to Ihe neigh bors." To which his answer was "If your idea of good cheer is that box of potatoes you can do all the spreading you need right here in this hoti.se," and we did, down to the last mouthful!

Shirley Maslen Cranley 312 Winged Foot Road lli.siiig Tnrh'l's By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analvst NEW YORK AP - Americans doing business in Western Europe will find some of their monev transactions a bit less complicat ed today. But they will find Ihe French manufacturer a Keener competitor in world trade. And Thursday they will find that in France and live oilier Western European nations the tariff walls will bt higher for Americans and other outsiders than for the six in the Common Market. These are the results of France's newest devaluation of its franc, and the partial lowering by nine olhcr nations of curbs on chang ing their money into dollars. But the most troublesome trade barrier of all Is still there. That Is Ihe import quotas which many lands Impose on the goods o( Americans and other outsiders. American businessmen still can't sell their goods or serures in these lands if their governivcnls want to save their supplies of dol lars for other things. Ec'-ered ai second class matter at the post office at KUmaih Falls. Ore., on August 20. 1906. under act of Congress. March S. 1078. SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Serrlaf Souther Ortfoa And Northera California France's cutting 17 per cent oil the value of its franc in terms of American dollars la worldwide measuring stick is aimed at shor ing up its finances badly drained by the Algerian war as it seeks to start on equal footing with the live other nations in Ihe Common Market Jan. 1. They are West Germany, Italy, Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg. Theoretically, at least, France is cutting the present price of French goods by 17 per cent in all markets. Adjusting to the new Common Market is also one of the actors leading Britain, Denmark, Swe den. Norway and all the Common Market nations except France to announce limited currency con vertibility. This permits the exchange of foreign holdings of their curren cies into dollars or any other form of cash, so that American busi nessmen can get dollars, at going exchange rates, for their good: if permitted to sell them in the nine countries. Thursday the Common Market nations take their first step by lowering the tariffs 10 per cent on goods shipped by each other within the market's limits, but maintaining the old barriers against goods of all other rations They also will let more of each others' goods come in while keep ing import quotas unchanged on goods made by outsiders. Over the years the tariffs will be lowered further on Common Market goods and a common tar iff wall set up by all six against outsiders. From Jan. 1 on, for example, West German manufacturers can ship more goods to France and pay 10 per cent less duty on them than can their American competi tors. France can do the same in shipping goods to West Germany and their cost should be 17 pet cent less, giving them another trade advantage over Americans, already handicapped by higher production costs here than in Eu rope. American businessmen, how ever, can hail the European fiscal moves as a first short step in free ing world, trade, which has been under strict fiscal controls since the war. And they can npplaud anything that will stabilize the franc, which in the last 10 years has lost nearly two thirds of Us purchasing power (while the American dollar'was losing almost one fourth of its). If France succeeds in getting its fiscal house in order, and If fur ther convertibility move's lead to better trade and generally health ier economic conditions In Eu rope (making It a belter custo mer), Americans too could share in the long run in some of the betterment. But for the present, the effects will be felt mainly in Europe it self, and will be part of the gen eral jockeying for position as the six nations try to team up to of fer a common trading front to the rest of the world. IfKiH Hangovers By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst ' WASHINGTON AP) - Trou bled but indecisive 1958 has left some big hangovers for 1SSD. here and abroad. It was hardly more than a minor interlude between past and future. On three of Ihe most important things facing mankind disarma ment, an end to nuclear tests, and prevention of surprise attack there was no solid agreement. There will, of course, be more talks next year. This was the biggest recession year since the war, with as many as 5,200.000 unemployed. By year's end Ihe United States had bounced hack. But millions are slill job less and living costs, though SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal Pp fibTHUMP IlllWmS "Ml TO HAVE C) 0 THUMP 7 hjaffJ At steady in recent months, threaten to resume their rise. Next year looks good for jobs and business. But no economist is brave enough, or stupid enough, to predict there won't be more recessions, ana perhaps worse ones. In November the voters showed overwhelming lack of faith in the Republican party. Yet President Eisenhower remains highly popu lar. He himself seems more con servative as he grows older. In his early White House years he talked brightly of cutting gov ernment spending. And did. But tnis year spenoing nil a peace time high, and may go even high er next year although Eisenhow er still talks of balancing the budget. All through 1958 the bitter, tense Southern resistance to public school Integration continued and with increasingly deadly effect thousands of white students were out of their closed-down schools There's no end in sight in 1059. The United Slates entered 1958 in gloom and doubt about its abil ity and its destination. The Rus sians, with their Sputniks of 1957, were ahead in the space age. Americans asked themselves: Can .we catch up? What's hap pened to us? By year's end the United Stales had lifted into orbit first some tiny satellites and then the huge Atlas. It also sent two atomic- powered submarines under the North Pole. Those were boosts to sagging morale. But the contest between the United States and the Soviet Union for superiority on the earth and the space above it is just be ginning. Ominous equally for the United States and the Soviet Union was the breakneck dash of Red China to catch up with the 20th century, with its 600 million people reduced to machines and the, population growing. The brief crisis over the shell ing of Quemoy by Red China was small potatoes compared with what this country faces in 1959 and later from the Chinese Com munisls. They say they have Ihe determi nation and plenty of time to dominate Asia, take Formosa, and utterly freeze the United Slates out of the Orient and the western Pacific. The revolution in Iraq was an American disaster. II virtually wrecked the Baghdad Pact that American-sponsored alliance of nations friendly U) the . United States on the southern Soviet flank. Worse still is this possibility: Communists may lake over Iraq next year. This would be the Reds' first great foothold in the Middle East and a springboard for the conquest of all of it. What may be the year's most critical problem was the sudden Soviet effort to shatter American strength and influence in Europe by demanding that Berlin be left an undefended island in the East German Communist sea. If the United States resists. It could mean war. If It yields, the result may be disaster anyway: destruction of the Atlanlic Alliance, ruination of European confidence in America. and Ihe Soviet Union's greatest postwar victory. In 1959 there will be no real peace and certainly no rest. I OIIIIIIIIIH' ItHlMWII By THOMAS P.

Some stress is put on the idea that the communes are building for socialism, not communism. Earlier the Chinese Communist party's Central Committee indi- cated tjiat the communes would permit China to move directly into communism in the near fu ture. To non-Communists the distinc tion between socialism and com munism may seem thin. But not to- Communists. Socialism is de fined as a stage of development in which all persons work accord ing to their abilities and receive compensation according to their quantity and quality of their work. Communism, on the other hand, is a stage in which all work ac cording to their ability and re ceive according to their needs. uroaacasis proclaiming a re treat from extreme oqualitarian- jsm emanate from Wuhan Station in Hupeh province in central Ch na.

It adds that this takes form of equalizing the pay of all commune members and imposition of an equalized food allowance system.' vt Mail ling Business administration, engi neering and teaching are the three top choices of veterans , attending college under the Korean GI Bill, according to a Veterans Adminis tration survey released today. So far more than one million Korea veterans have gone to college under the GI program. An other one million have taken other types of training in schools below college, on-the-job and on-lhe- farm. , Of the GI college students, 168,- 000 chose business administration; 145,000, engineering, and 106,000, teaching. Number one choice of the GI en gineering students was electrical engineering, followed by mechani cal and then civil engineering. Most of Ihe veterans preparing for leaching careers have gone inlo general education, but sever- 1 thousand have entered special ized fields such as industrial arts and physical education. Other objectives attracting large numbers of Korean GI college stu dents have been science, with 9000; medicine and related pro- lessions, 49,000; business courses such as accounting and advertis ing, 36.000; social sciences, 30,000; law, 40,000, and the ministry. 10.000. Actually, veterans have been preparing for almost every con ceivable type of career at college. On the rolls have been agrono mists and zoologists, architects and dietitians, newspaper report ers and mathematicians, librari ans and law enforcement officials, and many others.
