TV 4-4752 Hjiir Curling By FLORENCE JENKINS The men didn't know what they were starting back in the Stone Age when they curled their hair and painted their aces. Historian: say this special care was for two reasons to frighten enemies and to attract women. The primitive caveman bound up his flowing locks with leather thongs and rolled his hair around animal bones. Hair adornment is believed to have been part of the rituals of manhood, hunting and making war. Also, it is believed that early man drew his hair through hollow animal bones not only (or ornamentation, but as a badge of heroism and leadership as well. While in those prehistoric times the male was preoccupied with his own hair beauty, woman's hair seems to have been the object o( his attention, also. History allegei there Is some basis in fact for the cartoon figure of the caveman dragging the female of his choice along by her hair. Only recently a comb extracted from the earth was calculated to be 9000 years old. It was made of bone and heavily carved in primitive fashion. Around that pe riod, it is believed, men had de veloped hair adornment to a fine, if messy, art. It is known that they used a hair dressing made of animal fat and animal ashes cooked together into a (hick paste. This was plastered on the head, the hair molded into sticky waves and probably adorned with bird feathers, leather thongs, plant vines, etc. ' Hair curling in this manner was. however, exclusively lor the male. Such finery was taboo for females. But as. centuries passed, woman borrowed the glitter of her strut ting male and, by the time of ear ly recorded history, competed with men in achieving hair beauty. Just when women openly borrowed hair curling from men is shrouded In the dim mists of history. But it has long been a method women used to choose their mates by at traction. It also seems to have been a method of competition with other women. Queen Ncfert-ele, the mother of King Tutankhamen, was the reign ing beauty of ancient Egypt around 1300 B.C. She borrowed from the men, too, and like the royal males around her, painted her nails red with henna, outlined her eyes with black and painted her eyebrows. To avoid competi tion with other women, she tor bade them to cut or curl their hair; then promptly shaved her ovftn head completely In the style of the royal kings. By 45 B.C., Cleopatra had re stored hair as woman s crowning glory In Egypt. Slaves were em ployed to rub her head with grease daily, even though she owned a collection of wigs lo match her every mood and costume. It is an historical fact that she was so conscious of hair beauty that she slept with an iron band locked tightly around her brow and iron weights tied to the ends of her hair. Her headresl, so as not to disturb her deceptively simple coif fure, was a hard clay square not unlike today's ordinary brick. About 6(1 A.D. in Rome, Julia. daughter of Emperor Titus, rolled her hair in curls around a "rat" made of hollow bone. About this time are the first records of the world's first curling iron hollow tubes of beaten copper filled with boiling water lo heat them. As early as lfiOO in England there was published a "who's who" of men's hairstyles and in the French court men competed with one another to achieve the longest, curliest and most elabor ate wigs. At that time, men initi ated the first silk stockings, the first high heels and the first heav ily adorned shoe buckles. It wasn't long, of course, until women were "borrowing" the new styles from Iho men. And down the ages it appears that woman's greatest beauty challenge has been to change that "hank of hair" into the much-admired curly locks which nature bestows on so few. Shoulder l.im By GEORGE CASTILLO In Roseburg News-Review More paved roads need while lines along Iheir edges. Although the painting of while lines is probably a comparatively small part of the cost of construe tion of highways, these lines are among the best safely devices the Highway Department has devel oped. In an area where winter fogs are almost constant threat for night drivers, the white lines alons the shoulders of the highways are welcome beacons. All drivers who have crept along the county's fog shrouded roads at night know the nagems uncertainty of trying to follow the grey strip of pavement which con- .ttnib Entered as second class matter at the post office at Klamath Falls.

Before long, the yellow line appears to strained eyes to be going off in every direction of focus. Suddenly a pair of amber lights peek tentatively through the fog. They appear to head right at your car. Your car slows from 15 to five miles an hour as you try feverish ly to orient yourself to miss the oncoming machine. You are ready to open the door and jump for dear life when, at the last possible second, you find you are still on your side of the road. Life and limb have weath ered another crisis. When the hectic journey is over. you vision is riven with unpre dictable light flashes and you feel like one raw, screaming nerve end ing. A person in this condition is hardly capable of walking, 1 e t alone driving. The white line along the should er is the answer to a driver's prayer. It is placed where the car lights naturally shine and serves as safe tracks to follow. The dan gers of meeting another car fol lowing the same yellow center line is averted. Driving still demands alertness but the raw edge of uncertainly about the course of the road is averted. While lines painted along a road or highway should be part of every route possible. It may save some lives and avert broken bones and dented fenders. It's a proper proj cct for promotion by traffic safety groups. Well Ioii Klamath Falls (To the Editor) Certainly a "well done" should be extended lo Harold "Buck" Dav idson for his Little League com munity boxing smoker. This pro gram Thursday, January 22, was originated by Buck or the sole purpose to raise money to buy our Little Leaguers a ballpark of Iheir own. I lie enthusiastic assistance to this program, including your fine newspaper staff was very heart' warming. The response was tre mendous, and an excellent exam ple of community cooperation and support. Dr..W. F. Dean Klamath Falls (To the Editor) I wish to thank you and your staff for the help you have given to the two Junior Chamber of Com merce clubs in Klamath County. They are the Klamath Falls Jay. cees and Ihe Klamath Reservation Jaycces. Without your newspaper help, I know that both clubs would not have been able to carry our their active participation in community service projects as successfully as they did because the public was in formed of their work. This week the Jaycces are cele brating their anniversary through out the nation by holding Distin guished Service Award banquets. honoring their young cilizens from 21 through 35 and Ihe Outstanding Young Farmers in each of their communities. The Klamalh Reservation Jay cees honored their young men last Saturday night at Chiloquin with (heir Fourth Annual Awards ban quet, and the Klamath Falls Jay cces will honor theirs this coming Wednesday evening at the Willard Hotel. I hope that the people of Klamath Falls will attend this banquet as well as those who filled Ihe banquet held at Chiloquin. me Keservation Jaycees were honored lo have as their speaker County Judgo Charlie Mack, who was the first Jnycec state presi SHORT RIBS nnb fates dent of Oregon in 1939. It was at this banquet that he publicly an nounced his acceptance of his new past by Governor Hatfield, and that the Jaycee organization has helped him to be the man he is today. I know of other men in our com-' munity who have said the same thing. They are the leaders of our city, county, state and nation. It makes me feel good to hear these people say that the leadership training they received by being ac tive in the activities of the Jaycee organization helped them. I know the officers and mem bers of the two clubs in Klamath County o the 78 in the state of Oregon are experiencing the same thing, including myself whom they have so graciously placed in the position as their state vice prcsi dent for their district in Southern Oregon. The two presidents, War ren Parr of Klamalh Falls and Gordon Givan of the Klamath Res ervation Jaycees are two of the hardest working Jaycee presidents in the state, guiding their clubs in the efforts to make their com munities a better place in which to live. To all the people of the Klam ath Basin, I know the Jaycees lhank you for past support and I know they seek your continuing support this week, and all weeks of every year. Again thanks to the people of the Herald and News and the peo ple of the Klamath Basin. John F. Heilbronner Stale Vice President, District No. 10 Oregon State Junior Cham- ' ber of Commerce Mail To Congress By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON (UPI) Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) has re ceived a letter from a constituent who asks him to sponsor a con gressional investigation of the Con stitution. 'It's unconstitutional," this vo ter says of the Constitution. Congressional mail this year as usual is pouring in by the truck- load and fortunately not all of it is that hard lo answer. There are only 10.000 or so people working for Congress, including the 534 members, and there wouldn't be time to think up replies. Moslly a lilter to a House mem ber or senator prompts an official looking answer, bearing the con gressman's signature which he may or may not have affixed him self, and reading like this: "Dear sir: "I am glad to have had tne benefit of your views on the sub jects you discuss and to assure you that they will have every con sideration should legislation on these matters come before us." In one well-organized congressio nal office this is form reply No. In other offices the number is different but the letter is the same Although President Eisenhower's recent messages on the state-of-the union, 'the budget, and the economy got a lukewarm recep tion from Congress, House and Senate postmasters think Ihey were great. They weren't the kind that generate much extra mail to members of Congress. House Postmaster Hap Morris and his Senate counterpart,, David u. Jcnmns, have their work cut out for them without any help from the President. When hot is sues are up, they are swamped. Even between crisis like now they and Iheir 100 helpers lug around to the members' offices about 200 bags of incoming mail daily, with maybe 50 pounds to Ihe bag. The lime-tested way to retire after one term in Congress is not lo answer tho mail. So there as much, or more, going out. As noted above, this sometimes poses a problem. Sen. Kenneth B. Keat ing (R-N.Y.) got a letter recently By Frank O'Neal Subscription Rates CARRIER I MONTH , I SO MONTHS t 9.00 I YEAR $18 00 MAIL 1 MONTH f I SO f MONTHS t 8.50 I YEAR S1500 which read in full: "I heard your speech last night on the radio and I read it again in the newspaper this morning. Be lieve me, you're no idiot. I am, for ever having voted for you." Every lawmaker keeps a file, appropriately labeled, of letters like this. All others, and even some of these, are answered faithfully and in some offices with considerable pains. Pressure mail printed post cards and the like, obviously in spired by a lobby is generally discounted. But most members think when a voter takes the trouble to write, somebody better look at what he says. Mail from home plays a big part In some con gressional actions. While IIoiiko IVolcs By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter WASHINGTON (UPI) - Back stairs at the White House: There has been some public curiosity about why President Eisenhower with a fabulously fine home at Gettysburg, Pa., has elected to spend recent weekends at the White House mountain re sort, Camp David, 20 miles irom the farm. Housewives might understand. The Eisenhower home, for custo mary living purposes, usually is closed during most of the cold winter months. If the President goes to the farm for a weekend, it means sending up servants ahead to open up the house, getting food in and other assorted housekeep ing details. Camp David, on Ihe oilier hand. is staffed constantly by a detail cf U.S. Marines, a going concern whether the President is there or not. His quarters can be made ready on much shorter notice and with much less effort than a mid winter trip to the (arm would re quire. While the President was playing bridge with old friends at Camp David over last weekend, all sorts of activity was going on in nearby Gettysburg. Cleaned from Ihe Gettysburg times: "The 'Upper Adams and Gettys burg Marching and. Literary So ciety' is spending its annual week end at the Tumbling Run Lodge." Cliff Arquette, an ardent Gettys burg booster when he is not get ting laughs on the Jack Paar TV show as Charlie Weaver of Mount Idy. was in print, sharply criti cal of crass business interests which would ring Gettysburg's historic Civil War battlefield with hot dog stands. A man at Blue Ridge Summit had 12 peacocks available for quick sale, several farmers were advertising for "heavy fowl" to be used for canning and the Wenksville Cemetery Association scheduled a benefit ham supper for next month at the Benders ville Firemen's Hall. A couple of years from now, and the President might be able to take in some of these activities going on near his farm. The newspapers were filled last week with the President's ringing advice to the Republican Party to quit acting like a "hibernating elephant" between election cam paigns, when into the sparkling political semantics strode big Bill Knighton, the White House report er for the Baltimore Sun. Knighton, whose normal conver sational voice has the timbre of tin operatic basso profundo. braced press secretary Jim Hag erty with this inquiry: Did the President know that elephants do not hibernate? "I am glad to know." Haeerty said with an unmistakable tinge of acid, "that the Baltimore Sun has an expert on elephants." It should be pointed out that the White House man who oversees the preparation of many of Eisen hower's political statements is Dr. Malcolm Moos, formerly of the Baltimore Sun. Months of research and prepar ation went into the President's economic report to Congress last week. Finally, the government printing office delivered untold hundreds of copies to Ihe White House. Dr. Raymond Saulnier. chair man of (he President's Council of Economic Advisers, took one look at the finished document and be gan to have qualms. The report was bound in heavy pink paper After hearing some wisecracks around the White House about Ihe august economic council turninn a bit pink. Saulnier decided action was called for, lest the White House run into an ideological trap. He got (he printing office on the telephone and very shortly Ihey delivered a new hatch of re ports, bound this time in a prim ly Puritan shade of gray. They'll Do It Every ,i 'S- , .a.'- 1 T4LKIW&.'

However, both at tach an important "but . . ." Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, chief of naval operations, told Congress Monday he is supporting the de fense budget. But he also made it clear he is not satisfied with the speed at which ships, planes and weapons are being replaced. Gen. Randolph M. Pate, Marine commandant, also made no pro test about the budget. But he said that Pentagon orders to cut the corps to 175,000 men will mean the loss of six combat landing teams and six air squadrons. The new budget provides for only 175,000 Marines.
