Glad to report that the new year
is starting off with more good
stories than bad. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Runoff Slated
Below Normal
BOISE. 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.

The company struck hardest at
Morgan's finding that "by reason
