All too olten we get a rash of meanest man stories right alter the holidays, but here is a good example of what this year has turned up so far. Mike Lancaster, a 16-year-old junior at KUHS, went to Portland with his mother over the Christ mas holidays. During the stay he somehow lost his wallet with all his papers, licenses and what not in it plus a lone dollar hill Came home without it but was called to the post olfice where he found the wallet all safe and sound dollar and all. Someone in Portland had found the wallet and mailed it to the postal employes in Klamath Falls. All Mike had to do was pay 15 cents postage due and he was in business again. A darn nice thing for the postal employes to do as well as the good Samaritan who picked It up in the first place. Having gone through the mortal agonies of losing a wallet once or twice we know how Mike felt. There isn't a more helpless feel ing in the world than losing the old pocket file. And as you grow older and accumulate more cards, licenses, club memberships, credit cards and all the hundred and one other encumbrances without which modern life cannot be sustained it gels worse. The money is another thinfj, too. Cards, after all, can be replaced, but I always have a sentimental attachment for any money that happens to be lingering in the leather embrace of the wallet. My thanks to my two hunting companions of yesterday. Never have I seen such service and ef ficiency in the duck blind, i shall keep them nameless because of this service. If I were to reveal their identities calls for their com pany would, 1 am sure, cut sharp ly into their time. We had a good shoot, lots of wind, you know, and by the time we picked up and left all the birds were picked and drawn. Almost ready for the spit. I've always been the lazy type who left it until I got home. 1 guess I still harbor the hope that someone will do it for me if I put it off long enough. This is the first time it ever worked and without any conscious effort on my part. These birds were small, butter fat and will cook just right if put on a spit and barbecued. Stuffed with apples and maybe an onion beforehand the birds come off the spit crisp, tasty and delectable. Old Man Weather took his time about dishing up any duck weath cr but he can't he criticized lately This wind is really pushing the birds around. And there are quite a few to push, too. gained by trying to change it now. Instead, let's bend our energy lo using the stamp on letters to friends far and wide in promot ing Oregon's 100th year. The scene itself on the stamp does carry the message of the vast wilderness that was Oregon, and the covered wagon is certain ly descriptive enough. The stamp will be blue green, printed in sheets of 50. The actual design of the stamp was made by Robert Hallock of Newton, Connecticut. Those who want first day cancel lations may send addressed envel opes to the Postmaster, Astoria, Oregon, with a remittance to cover the cost of the stamps to he at fixed. An enclosure of medium weight should be placed in each envelope and the flap either turned in or sealed. The outside envelope to the postmaster should be en dorsed "First Day Covers Oregon Statehood Stamp." The first day cachet will be green on a yellow background, de signed by Rolf Kelp, . nationally known Astoria commercial artist. Let's use them to promole the 100th birthday of Oregon far and wide. Now if I could only hit 'em life would be a bowl of cherries in deed. But I can't. At couldn't yesterday. least 1 sure On I mi ii fail Miiiiip By FLOYD L. WYNNE Oregon's Centennial stamp will be issued at the Astoria Post Of fice on February 14. ' Many critics have taken time to disagree sharply with the artist's conception of Oregon which will be used on the new stamp. The stamp carries a picture of a high Conestoga covered wagon in the foreground, standing alone on a rirsolate plain with Ml. llnnd in the background, no sign of life. Those who disagree with the scene point out that some sort of life would help the picture. Others disagree with the use of a Conestoga wagon, pointing out that while some of these came to Oregon, in the main the covered wagons were of ditferent type and arrived mostly battered and tat tered. Recently, a sketch drawn by someone years ago was secured from Elizabeth Loosley, Fort Klamath, by Ruth King of the Herald and News. It contains a picture of a typi cal covered wagon, battered and tattered, with bony horses pulling It across an Oregon plain, a pi oncer out front and one behind, complete with hoy and dog It carries the very appropriate phrase, "None started hut the brave, None got through hut the strong." These words would have looked very good indeed some where on the stamp. I agree It would have made a better picture than the one select ed for the stamp. However, the stamp scene has been decided upon, the plates made, the stamps probably already printed, and nothing Is to be L initial lire By FLORENCE JENKINS On the eve of the convening of the 50th Legislative Assembly of Oregon, Oregon Voter's January is sue is devoted to a comprehen sive Who's Who in the 1059 Ore gon Legislature. Walter W. R. May, editor and publisher of the publication which was founded by C. C. Chapman, has done a masterly job in pre senting Oregon's top officials, and her 30 state senators and 60 rep resentatives to the reading public. His directory is easier to read than Standard and Poor's stock market guide by quite some, but it has some points of similarity. Just as the investor is inter ested in past performance of a stock he owns or considers pur chasing, the people of Oregon should be keenly interested in the experience and past performance of the individuals making up the law-making body of our state. The record would seem to indi cate that the average individual gives more thought and study to where he invests his money than to the background of the persons list ed as names on the election bal lot. But every legislative session affects the pockcthook of all of us and usually adversely. In the biographical sketches of slate senators, Klamath County's Harry D, Boivin appears as the second article. An alphabetical for mat is used and Eddie Ahrcns of Marion County starts the list. Senator Boivin is one of nine lawyers in this session. His initial service in the Legislature, when he was elected to the House of Rep resentatives in 1935, makes h i m the veteran lawmaker of the group and his experience adds immeas urably to his yalue to his state ana nis aistnct. We think our collective pocket book is pretty safe in Senator Boivin's keeping. Here is one of the things he said just before leaving for Salem this week: "So far as cost of government and state department budgets arc concerned, perhaps a new an- proach is needed," he commented "Why not reverse the method'1 The probable amount of state in come (or a year is easily ascer tainable, so the overall cost of running the stale government could be set within that income ligure Then, instead of each department bureau and so on saying how much money it needs, each could be told how much is available for the op eration tailored to fit the amount of money." Yes, we think our pockctbooks are In good hands. lli'lafors By NELSON REED Ever notice how dictators in Lat in American countries, like Batis ta, are always allowed to escape by the man who succeeds them? It seems to be one of the rules of the game down south that you can bump off anybody else in your attempts to overthrow and succeed the current dictator, but you nev er bump him. First we saw it when Peron was allowed to leave Argentina with his gal friends to "friendly" for eign countries where he had stashed away all the millions he stole from his people while kid ding them that his dear departed wife, at least, if not himself, was their great benefactor. Then the recent Strong Man whose name has escaped me, who served as president of Haiti for only two years but managed to "escape with something over ten million dollars. We have been to Haiti and how anybody could bleed ten million dollars out of that poverty stricken God-forsaken country is beyond us. Then there was Jiminez who probably got away w;th enough from Venezuela to build another Caracas all his own wherever he squatted. His successors seem just a bit impatient to get theirs now and are talking about raising the ante on all the American oil com panies. Naturally, If you are an up and coming dictator in any of those Latin American countries, you know your history and the rules of the game. You always let the man you succeed "escape" after he has feathered his nest luxuriously, knowing full well that someday your turn will come and you are counting on the same gentle treat ment. If dictators always got mur dered there would never be so many ambitious successors always trying for the job. To our knowledge, only poor dumb fat Mussolini ever got bumped and he wasn't in Latin America and he ran head on into a world war and not just a nice friendly little revolution. In spite of the popgun efforts of Congress man Porter, Mr. Trujillo is still holding down his job in the Domin ican Republic, and from what we saw when we were down there a couple of years ago, he will prob ably hold it for sometime. He may have some darn fool relatives who come to the U.S. and throw his money around, but he himself is no soft touch. Wan der around Trujillo Town, with its armed soldiers on every street cor ner, machine guns on the walls of the compound where Trujillo and his relatives live: hear the pop ping of rifles and machine guns just outside the city limits any day and then see and hear the dive bombers unloading their ex plosive just outside town, and you won't wonder why nobody has suc ceeded in being Trujillo's succes sor. But I'll wager a lot that when his day does come he will be al lowed to leave and enjoy what he has snitched. So we don't wonder that Batista "escaped" with all the loot he pried out of the "Las Vegas" gam blers and others. We can't think of anybody we would rather he had taken it from. Maybe Castro will turn out to be different. The only dictator we know of that did is Salazar of Portugal. He lives very simply and though there is no question he is boss he has done a great deal for the people. Never once did we hear him accused of feathering his own nest at the ex pense of the populace. Portugal is one of the very rare exceptions where a revolution ap parently benefited the country; :t and our own. 4'riiiH' In It ri I a in By CHARLES A. SPRAGL'E Editor of the Salem Statesman We have always thought of the English people as rather staid, well disciplined, conservative in man ners. They have crimes to be sure, "crime fiction" really became re spectable literature in the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. But they were old-style crimes rob beries, murders and such, in ordi nary numbers. Last summer's race rioting on London's Notting Hill was a signal however that the English people were going on a tangent. Before that color lines weren't drawn how could they be when the Queen was the nominal rule over races of varied com plexions? And recently published statistics on British crime have startled even the ministers of government. What the statistics showed was that crimes of violence are now four times more prevalent than in the period between the world wars. The home secretary, R. A. Butler, in reporting to the House of Com mons, remarked: "This is no sud en crisis, but a deep disorder in society." The Atlantic Monthly for Janu ary discusses this situation in a report from London. What baffles the British is that the increase in crime has occurred in spite of the growth in prosperity and great pro gress in erasing those suspected sources of crime: poverty and slums. Though youth has been able to get jobs, the number of juvenile crimes keeps rising up in 1957 20 per cent over 1956, the previous record high. Though Britain has more policemen than ever and uses latest devices such as radio communication, robberies were up 28 per cent in 1957 and burglary 25 per cent. Early figures for 1958 show a further increase. In trying to answer the question, "Why?" the Report goes on to say: 'The question harasses the ex perts. Is this just the criminal aspect of a pattern of violence spreading throughout society: an gry young men, sadism in the the ater, gunplay on television, horror at the movies, new brutalism in architecture? Cyprus? Is it per haps a reaction by British society in particular to the loss, interna tionally, of power and possession? Or is the flaw in the British home?" Then it'adds: "Nobody knows." Various agencies though are try ing to find the answer, and "more material for study is being asked from the United Slates." The material we can supply will provide no quick and easy an swers. We have had studies in ju venile delinquency made at all lev els, yet youth crimes persist, and provoke continuing concern in this country. The amount and serious ness of juvenile crime, in spite of our prosperity, compulsory edu cation and youth programs, are cause for alarm. The increased delinquency may be attributed to the loosening of our ways of liv ing: greater freedom for individu als, more mobility (motor cars), less work for youth, more pamper ing of youth, relaxing home ties, weakening of religious restraints. An age which has slaughtered mil lions in warfare is a poor one for prevention of violence. Most of these influences pervade Britain as well as the United States. They will have to be met by counter in fluences to restore the self-disci pline which is the mark of a well ordered society: Americans are not happy to find their English cousins in a sim ilar predicament; but with two so cieties working to reduce juvenile crimes benefits may come to both. That should be the hope and the goal of both. SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal R0NNIN& ARC0N0 ACTIMi LIKE A HOOCLUM! .

Idaho fAP) A below I normal Columbia Basin watershed' runoff is expected in lilSJ because of soil moisture conditions and light snow cover, a Soil Conser vation Service official said Wed nesday. "Extremely heavy snowfall will be necessary for the remainder of the winter to change the situation significantly," Morlan W. Nelson, snow survey supervisor for the service, said. Nelson said studies show the northern half of the basin is below normal and the southern portion has one of the lightest snow packs ever measured at this time of year. Usually, a third of the win ter's snow pack is down by Jan. 1. "With some rivers such as the Crooked in Oregon with only 11 per cent of normal snow pack, it is almost impossible to have normal supply of water for the coming year," Nelson said. He added that dry soil beneath Ihe snow pack will also reduce runoff. Nelson said river watersheds in Eastern Oregon and Southern Ida ho have the most serious shortage of snow cover in the Basin. The situation, he said, is worse than is apparent from the snow cover." Snow cover on the upper Snake River was reported as 90 per cent of average, the highest measure ment recorded. Other readings included: Spo kane River, St) per cent; Clear water River. 69 per cent; Salmon River, fifi per cent; Boise, 55 per cent; Big Wood, 57 per cent; Payette, 53 per cent; Owyhee andiValley, 10 per cent; and the Raft Malheur, 10 per cent; WillametteRivcr, 42 per cent.
