A hasty look, to be sure, but at least a taste of the exciting flavor of printers' ink and news print. At least one of the den mothers came up with the idea that it would be a good idea if her charges did more than just look at the press. They should do at least a little writing. The end result was an assign ment to each one of the lads to turn out a brief theme on the subject "Why I Like To Live On Lakeshore Drive." Her five lads came up with the following: Ronald St rube 1 had this to say "I like to live on Lakeshore Drive because you can fish and climb hills and have cows and go for boat rides." James D. Montcilh, who oh viously has the makings of a pub lie relations man, wrote: "One reason is because I like to live close to John Mochl, Bonny Stru bel. Bob Baird and Curtis Cotter. I like climbing hills and trees. You can fish and walch birds. It snows a lot, too." Curtis Colter reflected the spir it of the explorer when he wrote: "I like to live' where 1 do be cause I found a cabin, there is plenty of territory to play in and plenty of friends to play with." John Moehl, an exceptionally ob servant lad, had this to say: "I like to live on Lakeshore Drive because there are many animals And there are trees to climb, and horses to ride and birds to watch and swimming and fishing and snakes and frogs to catch and boats to ride in and hills lo climb." A lad after our own hunter's heart was Bob Baird. He wrote: "I like to live on Lakeshore Drive because there's lots of game and I can go fishing and hunting and shoot my BB gun." All in all it would seem that we are raising a pretty healthy crop of hill climbers, birds watchers and swimmers out (here in the land of the pines, the mosquitoes and the weekly flat tire. In these days when the papers are so full of juvenile delinquency it is encouraging to read these thumbnail essays. I can't somehow think that there is much to fear for the future generations if they are all like these youngsters. Everything will be pretty much all right. not, "First Day Covers" certainly are fascinating, and an easy wcy to illustrate history in the making. Cover Collectors By FLOYD L. WYNNE The mail brought me a beauti ful gold embossed envelope which will be used lor the "First Day Cover" in Oregon Centennial stamps to be released at Astoria on February 14. This cover will be serviced by the Greater Eugene Stamp Soci ety. The cachet will reproduce the official seal of the Oregon Cen tennial Commission depicting 100 years of progress in Oregon, and will bear the inscription "Oregon 100th Anniversary Celebration 1859-1959." As an added feature each cover will be stuffed with a special edition of the Society Bulletin which will feature a series of stories on Oregon history. Collectors desiring First Day Covers imprinted with this unique CVntennial cachet may obtain them by sending 25 cents per cover to Gayle Aman, 259 East 2nd Street, Euscnc. Those who merely desire the first day cancellations can g e t these by sending envelopes to Post master, Astoria, and enclosing enough money for the stamps. These envelopes should be ad dressed, and sent to the Postmas ter under separate cover. It might be a good way to promote the Centennial lo hae some of the.se ' First Day Covers" sent to friends elsewhere in the United States or abroad. Speaking of first day covers. 1 also recently received a first day Alaskan statehood cover. It was complimentary from the Pacific Northern Airlines. Inc.. and was very much appreciated The Alaskan cover carnrd an all blue cachet which sl.urd "Alas, ka Statehood Cachet Irom Jun eau, Capital of the 4!Hh State " The Alaskan Statehood stamp is dark outline map of Alaska on background of snowy mountains, all done in blue shades, with seven small stars and one large star in the middle foreground of the sev en cent stamp. Whether you collect them or IHslipan Hands By FLORENCE JENKINS A nationwide survey shows that there is a washing machine for al most every family in the United States. The market research division of Lever Brothers Company, one ol the leading soap and detergent manufacturers in the world, re ports that there were approximate ly 44 million washing machines in operation in the United States at the start of the current year. There are a few more than 49 million families in the nation. The figures are just another proof that the American home maker is the most advanced in the world. Dishwashers have been a little slower to receive complete accep tance, largely because consider able remodeling is necessary in most of the older homes to in stall the unit. Portable units arc convenient only if there is space available for their use. Last year's sales of 400,000 dish washing machines brought the na tionwide in-use total to just past the 2i million mark, according lo Lever Brothers Company. Estimates are that this figure will increase lo almost three mil lion by the end of Ihis year. This will bring Ihe total to just a little over one dishwasher (or every 18 households. It looks as if the dishpan and Ihe kitchen towel are not destined to disappear from the American scene in the immediate future. Police View Klamath Falls (To the Editor) I would like to make a (ew cor rections in your article "Ex-officer . , ." in Herald and News, Janu ary 13, 1959. The title should have read "Ex-officer raps council." This for the way Ihe police de partment is set up and operated. I have no "gripe" at any one of the officers, those whom I do know and those whom I do not know. Some of them I have "gone in" shoulder to shoulder with when and where guns, clubs, knives, etc. were concerned. They have often come to my aid when going was rough and I believe each one believes 1 would now come to their aid, handicapped though I am. Each and every one of them, I believe, will say they never saw the back of my tunic in a fight unless I happened to be ahead of them. This also applies lo those who have died or who are now no longer on the department. I was never between my "bud dy" and my badge, unless, as I say, I was leading the fight. My "critique" or criticism was, as I explained lo you gentlemen, given in the friendliest way I know. I believe it was understood as such. No anger at all. Just my way. I don't like the police depart ment set-up and came down to tell you gentlemen so last Monday night. I say "The man in the mud is just about the most valuable man in the army." He consolidates the ground gained and holds it. It is not the man up in a jet. So with the foot and motor patrolmen. he or they arc the men on the fighting line where the real danger is to concentrated masses o( peo ple and property. 1 don't intend to say the cars are not valuable, they are. Glad to have them, painted though they are. Mr. Fleet says Ihe boys in Ihe cars arc out about one third of the time on patrol. OK! Let's analyze that remark. Where were they patrolling? From their cars parked several blocks away from Main Street? It would be fool ish! Suppose they saw a red sig nal police light. Would they rush into a store and call in when they should be "padding" back to the car, or would they rush to the car when they were needed just around the corner? The first five minutes at a fire nay be worth more than the next five hours. Does it add up? Where would Paul and I have been the night before a certain holiday if we had had to run to a phone or car when a certain party was dusting the teeth and skulls of seven or eight cele brants? Doing it with a .45 cali ber Smith and Wesson. It was completely fueled and ready to go. Where might Fred and I have been if, when the rifle came through the screen door into his face (I was beside him and saw it) if we had been running to get there? Where would I have been if when Chief Hamm sent me in alone against dozens of angry people just to show the uniform 'ii was a pressure move)? He said 'Don't speak to them, but just slare and fix them in your mind." He and C. E. "Red" Mil- horn, I believe it was, were near, as planned, while reinforcements were being brought up from our own forces and the state. If fight started I was to go over Ihe (ence (at Carmichael's News Stand) and keep going. When the other boys got there, uniform pres sure and "beef on the hoof" took over, there was no riot or fight. Headwork! Yes, hcadwork by a man (Chief Ilairan) who was on the ground and laid a plan. No headlong rush to the emergency. Careful planning by a man in the mud so to speak. All too often you read, "The policemen came pounding up." About the absence of motor pa trolmen, cars to be used instead. I ask one question, and that one is is it any more legal or any less dangerous to hurl a two-ton car down the street after another such car at 80 miles per hour just because you are a police man? There is very little to be said in favor of a "juggernaut" of a car to handle traffic in com parison with a motorcycle. I re fer you to Ihese men and their fine art on a motor. Louis Ar nold, and these former motor cops. Bud Switzer, Tom Judge, Harold "Hap" Brandsness, Sgt. Odell 01 son (now on the department) any of whom would step over your prostrate body and carry on the fight. I know. I went down once and looked up and saw little Sid Herbert (rookie cop) filling the air with fists. He was between his badge and me only because he took over and was pushing the fight ahead of and away from me, It was also quite comforting to have Jack Linkenback step in and push on when you would be gasp ing for breath. Jack, cool and deli berate, slow in getting there, but when Jack arrived "fist first' sumpin' had to give. If you are any kind of a cop at all you don't mind laying it on the line for teammates like that when it is your turn. You now have many of the same streets and alleys and build ings as those days, and without a real bunch of foot and motor patrolmen you simply won't be able to handle it when it comes The police department now, in side the station, is something we petitioned for over 20 years ago with the capable guidance ol Frank Hamm, Leigh Ackerman and oth ers, only there arc no motors and footmen. I expect to appear before your august body soon and petition first hand for permission to go in and out of the police department, ex amine the system, equipment and so forth, and will ask for a pa trolman or patrolmen lo show me over the several beats in the cars and afoot when I can walk. 1 want to talk privately with the men I know and men I don't know without prejudice to them, strictly in confidence and at arms length, so to speak. I have no prejudice toward your official body and not to any one of you personally at the present time. I do contemplate one personal criticism of personal conduct, pos sibly it is not intentional. I mean to find out. At present I do not intend to do it publicly. I believe that conditions are in such a state of affairs that they should be corrected. I am work ing toward thai end. I have a well formed opinion of how- many foot and motor men are needed, and some other set up changes. I want to prove my self right or wrong, one way cr the other. Otis M. Metsker Former Police Officer No. 17. SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal (we isas:T The A.SPuAMe, VOYS, -clilTV-An O JL.:. J Ao rr REAL :CV,T! WHAT WAS IT ?f ? rY Ike In I'miscd Corvallis (To the Editor) I just received and read Thursday's copy of the Herald and News (Jan. 15. 1959). After reading the letter entitled, "Covering Up" from R. McColIam of Merrill, about all that one could say to stay on the same level is Quack! Quack! Quack! I, for one, am certainly con vinced that President Eisenhower is big enough to run the govern ment (and the farm, too)! Mr. Mc. expresses his idea that Ike does not have the ability to write his own speeches. To give one good in stance of ike's ability, I wonder if Mr. Mc. remembers the speech which Ike made shortly before win ning the election of 1952, in which he said that he would go to Korea immediately .upon, his election to view first-hand the conditions (hat existed there. If I remember right land I'm sure I do), Ike tore up the speech which had been prepared for him to give and he spoke from the heart. I think his actions after the elections when he did go to Korea speak for themselves. It probably takes the exlra 119 people who are on Ike's staff to clean up the mess left by the previous administration under the guidance of the Missouri Presi dent. I'm from Missouri, too, and you don't have to "show mc" the good job Ike has done. The presi dency has been called the most thankless job in the world, but I, like thousands of other 18 year olds, am glad for the fact that we're not totin' rifles in the mud and blood of another war and thank Ike for his power, prestige in the world, and intelligence for guiding the United States away from a war instead of staying on the farm!

Swaney II 2126 Lakeshore Drive Thanks Chiloquin (To the Editor) The Chiloquin Park Commission wishes to thank all of the individuals and organizations who rendered their assistance in improving Spink's Community Park during the past year. Through the ef forts of the many who contributed their time and work, a great many improvements were realized on the park during the year. Playground equipment was installed, fences built, and many other improve ments were made. More work on the park is sched uled with the advent of good weath er and again the efforts of all interested persons and organiza tions will be appreciated.

The concessions committee in effect received a vote of confi dence when the commissioners tabled a motion by John Snider, a commissioner from Medford, that would have returned the committee's duties to the full commission. The commission approved the Northern Specialty Sales Co.'s re quest to produce a centennial kit containing centennial stick ers, stamps, buttons and a decal to be sold by Oregon clubwomen. The company said 50 cents from each of the $2 kits sold would go to the commission, 50 cents would go to the women's groups sell ing them. 23 cents would be com pany profit, and 77 cents would be the costs of making them.
