The affair was the windup of the ski school conducted for children of park personnel by Slim Mabery over the past winter and t b i spring. It gave the youngsters a chance to show their achievements and newly acquired, skills. Veryconsid- erable achievements, too. The youngsters ranged in age all the way from pre-school to their early teens. And their performance on the ski slope was a real credit to Slim's teaching. They handled themselves like ex perts. Why, at that age it was all I could do to slide down a hill on the seat of my pants, much less come down over a modified slalom course and do it properly and without spills. Of course, in my day we had nothing but loose bindings and the general idea was to get down hill with no broken bones. These youngsters have been taught what Slim refers to as "controlled ski lng" and are learning it the safe way. They have proper equipment good instruction and more enthusi asm than you can imagine. I'll be very much surprised if some of these names don't turn up on the roster of the 1970 Olym pics. If they continue to learn as fast as they are now it's a cinch. Crater Lake is still a winter scene, although the sun made it shirt sleeve weather. First chance we had had to see the progress of Mission 66, the park improve ment and expansion plan now un der way. Took a rain check from Super Intendent Tom Williams' on a trip around the rim when that beauti ful road is opened up later in the year. He tells me that they have some new picnic grounds and what' not on that route. And there is no getting around it that the rim drive is one of the most spectacular and beautiful one that you can find. Came home via the Weslside and found conditions dusty already. Not too bad, however, to make it anything but a pretty trip. That lit tle section of the Rogue National Forest will be quite a tourist at traction in the future when the road is paved and the trade can be sent thataway to Fort Klamath and Crater Lake from Klamath Falls. inai is a project which I ex pect to see developed within the next ten years at the most There are two road projects, in fact, which are naturals when comes to the tourist trade and that is one of them. The other will be the eventual day when a highway is constructed all the way down the Klamath River to connect with the California coast. That one will be a real diUy. Laeniplovmont By FLOYD WYNNE The condition of the unemploy ment compensation fund has been a prime topic of discussion in the current Legislature. It also has been a prime head ache lor employers who have stable crew, and who recently were forced to move back to 11 per cent on their payroll in stead of lower rates which they nad earned over the years. What's the purpose of the fund Weil, it's a protection for work ers who are fired for no reasons of tbeir own. also a protection for those who work in seasonal dustries. The fund is to give them enough finances to tide them over to the next job. Now, who pays into the fund? Jt comes directly out of the em ployer's pocket. None of it is paij by the employe, although he is the one. and the only one who benefits from it. This unemployment fund has shrunk from million dollars to 10 million dollars in the past 10 years. Why? Well, probably mo.it of it has been from k;ttimata claims of people who have been forced out of work by one means or another The major share of the fund has undoubtedly been used as a "tid ing over" process by a number of people. But. it undoubtedly also has had bases, as will any such program The phrase "rocking chair" money has become a subject for humor almost nationwide. It has also become subject of a way-ef-iife for some people. There are those who work with the bop that they'll never have to draw unemployment, and there i are others who work just long enough to become eligible for un employment. I don't think anyone would de sire to abolish the principle of the unemployment compensation fund. It is needed, and certainly can be a blessing in disguise to an unfortunate working man. But, it has been abused, and is the abuses which are now draw ing the fire of the Legislature. What are some of the abuses? Well, it may be treading on dan gerous ground, but what about women who are expecting babies, and who apply for their unem ployment while not working. Or, how about the person who quits his job willingly and draws unemployment from his prior em ployer s fund while looking for a better job elsewhere? Or, the person who is out of work, and refuses to take any kind of job except exactly the same kind of work he or she was doing. Or, the person who is paid very high salary on a seasonal job because it is seasonal, and the employer tries to compensate the employe so that he can make enough in eight months to enable him to live the balance of the year. And there are undoubtedly oth ers. ine legislature Has come up with a move which they claim will reduce the number of claims by about 10 per cent. It would require that a person be actively in the labor market in order to get benefits. In order to obtain benefits, a jobless worker would have had to have worked 20 weeks in a year and earned $700 in that year, and his earnings must have been a! least i20 for every one of those 20 weeks. Qualification now is based only on the amount of money earned, thus letting some people get bene fits even though they worked only lew weeks. It's a move in the right direc tion, a direction that leads to de served help for those that merit and elimination of benefits for those who use the fund as a per sonal dole. ment of stronger drugs and medi cines in the last decade has re sulted in the survival of a mighty virulent population of "bugs" which attack the human body. On the other hand, we still bold to the belief that "doctoring" should be done only upon the ad vice of one's family doctor and that he gets fewer calls from those individuals and families who get enough restful sleep, fresh air and a goodly quantity of the food they want to eat. Newspaper offices receive the results of survey after survey, day after day, on every subject imagin able. Personally, we've never known a newspaperman who was inter viewed for a survey. Strikes us as just a little odd. somehow. Off-Heat Xoles By TOM ST1M.MEL Judge Edward Howell of Can yon City, assigned to hear the Ruff murder trial, will be on fa miliar grounds when he returns June 1. It was here that Judge Howell heard his first case as a jurist. The time was 10 years ago, the defendant was accused of giving liquor to an Indian, and the dis trict attorney was present District Judge D. E. Van Vactor. Van Vactor lost the case. swap stories, you Reporters know: . Peter Loudon, Victoria Daily Times reporter here on a trip through Oregon, imparted the in formation that Governor Hatfield will visit British Columbia when the Oregon Legislature goes home. The governor told Loudon he had visited B. C. once before as a Boy Scout in 1935. Health Insurance By FLORENCE JENKINS The results of the first survey of public attitudes toward health insurance have been released by the Health Insurance Institute of New York City, sponsor of the sur vey made by National Analysts, Inc. The Institute states ft is the cen tral source of information for the public on behalf of the nation's insurance companies. The survey was made in the lat ter part of 1957 from interviews obtained with 2.000 representative families across' the country." The findings released are on data se cured from some 6.600 individuals. - The Institute estimates that more than 121.000.000 Americans were covered by some form of health insurance at the start of 1959 Interviewers ascertained that nearly two out of every fie fam ilies having such protection re ported they had received benefits under their policies during the 12 months immediately preceding the oaie tney were interviewed. The survey reports that in 73 per cent ot the families interviewed, at least one member was covered by health insurance and in 60 per cent of the cases, all family mem bers were insured. Fully half of the insured families who expressed a wish for more information, said they could use additional coverage. This survey should provide a use ful sales tool for insurance salesmen. We hold no brief for or atainst health insurance. We are inclined toward the belief that the dcvelop- BiU Ryer of the Butte Vallev Star relates the woes of Russell Shoemaker, relief police chief in Dorris. Russ busied himself burning trash on the city dump. He left and shortly afterward his dad, Mac Shoemaker, drove in to unload some trash. Fate also entered the picture. His dad parked Russ" pickup truck over the spot where Russ had been at work, unmindful of still-warm ashes immediately un der the gas tank. Boom! went the whole business. and the truck became a total loss. These things being as they were found, I thought. In view of wha: you wrote, you might be interes- estea. Before franklin, the man who had most nearly perceived value as labor time was William Petty, who wrote about the time of the mechanical English Rev lution and undoubtedly these are essentially the economic views un der John Locke's political philos ophy. Franklin wrote in 1729, and by the time of the American Rev lution his view was widely held and was included in Adam Smith views expressed in "The Wealth of Nations." It is certain that without that view on value, the political philosophy of the Amer ican Revolution would itself never have developed as it has. Some one certainly should be calling at tention to these thjngs. and to the need of more careful scholar ship in coverage of the evolu tionary development of ideas our schools. Also you will find Lincoln, whea talking on the need of a protectiv larm on some Mings to insure their production in the United States, pointed out labor is the only true measure of value. In case you happen to want my opinion of some of the college professors, all of them in fact "expert economists" ought to Eo soak their heads. Certainly no one should accept views just because of who else did, in my opinion. But when you completely ignore and sneer at the views of value held by men whom history has up held as having been as great their times as were those men, and do not even give them any consideration at all in what you set forth as real inquiry into political economy, that is a .horse of an entirely different color. One has, to think quite as much of his own utter infallibility as the certain French lady whom Frank lin told about, who, in a little quar rel with her sister, said: "Sister, I don't know how it is, but I never find anyone but myself who is al ways in the right." f so I' was pleased to see you ended your column on that note of what constitutes value. O. O. Womack Baldwin Hotel iwo uogs got into a on of a scrap Sunday morning, as dogs do. Then, state police report, their respective masters stepped outside to investigate and wound up in a tight themselves. It had to do with one owner employing a pipe on his neighbor s dog. officers said. The melee enlivened a South Suburban street for a while, but no arrests were made. Bold sign on a street-level ga rage facing North Tenth Street: "A Woman Driver Uses This Garage Park Accordingly." Measure Of Value Klamath Falls (To the Editor) I just noticed you said in today's paper that when the miners used gold dust for money it represented so many hours actual work for a certain amount and "that is a real measure of value." My vacation period is over for awhile, as I was notified that they can use me back on the job now. I did use it to look up a few tnmgs. one happened to be to check all the books by our college professor economists as to what constitutes value! and to see if any one of them credited Franklin as being the man who clearly pointed out value as the labor time re quired to produce a thing. None mentioned Franklin at ail. None took value as labor time. SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal Vets Mall Bag Hang onto family documents such as birth and marriage cer tificates and keep them where they can be readily found. Veterans Ad ministration advised veterans and their dependents today. VA said documents of this sort may be needed to support claims for veterans benefits, and for other purposes. These include military discharge or separation papers, death cer tificates, divorce decrees, and guardianship or child custody evi dence. VA said. "Preserve these valuable papers carefully and make sure your fam ily knows where they are at all tunes," VA said. VA said types of veterans claims in which the documents may be needed include disability or death compensation or pension and bu na! benefits.

Ga. tAP) Presi- plane Columbine III for mid aft- deni Eisenhower has put directly up to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev a proposal to ban nu clear weapons tests which dan gerously pollute the atmosphere. A first-stage agreement to out law tests . below 30 miles in the atmosphere, Eisenhower wrote Khrushchev, could ease the dead lock among negotiators now seek ing a way to halt all weapons test- ng. Details of the President's appeal to the Kremlin leader were made public as Eisenhower arranged to end a two-week vacation at the Augusta National Golf Club and fly back to Washington. He sched- iled his departure aboard the Lama's Story Stuns Reds TOKYO AP - Red China ao- parently has been stunned by the ualai Lamas insistence that n savagely, suppressed the Tibet an independence movement nd forced him into exile. This is suggested by the sudden interruption of the plenary ses sions of the Chinese Parliament in Peiping, and the official silence the Reds have maintained toward the fugitive young ruler's state ment. The Communists have been in sisting that the Tibetan rebels orced the Dalai Lama to flee with them. The Reds seem to have counted on Prime Minister Nehru muzzling his guest in the inter ests of Chinese-Indian relations al ready strained by events in Tibet. The Chinese people's congress went into a two-day recess Sat urday soon after it owned, oos sibly to permit Mao Tze-tung. Pre mier mou tn-iai and otner top Reds to examine the new situa tion created by the Dalai Lama's accusations. The Chinese delay in reolvine to these charges which have se riously damaged Peiping's pres tige in Asia indicates .that thev ere caught flat-footed. crnoon. Presidential press secretary James L. iiagerty said Khrush chev had not-replied to the Eisen hower letter. It was made public .Monday night only after a So viet official had talked about it, apparently by accident, in Geneva where East-West talks have been oiocked since October. The letter was sent to Khrush chev on April 13 the same dav U.S. negotiators outlined the new U.S. proposal in Geneva. Eisen hower said in effect that a partial agreement would be better than none, - and these negotiations must not be permitted completely to tan. He said a simplified control sys tem to detect any test explosions in the atmosphere could easily be developed from expert recom mendations already at hand. Test explosions in the atmo sphere cause more radioactive fallout than those conducted un derground or in outer space two types wmcn would not be banned now under trie newest u.s. pro posal. But with agreement on the one phase he called it the most im portant phase Eisenhower said negotiators could continue work ing toward a general ban. In Washington. Sens. Albert Gore (D-Tenni and Frank Church ID-Idaho) praised Eisenhower's action. It means. Church told the Sen ate, that the newest proposal "is not a tactical maneuver calculated to give us some transient advan tage at the conference table, but serious proposition, earnestly made." Gore said he hopes that if the L'.b.S.R. should refuse. Eisenhow er would nevertheless stop all U.S. testing in the atmosphere for perhaps three years and invite the boviet Union to do likewise. Eisenhower's letter disclosed that he had discussed the DroDosal with British Prime Minister Har old .Macmillan. The President said that so far as a comprehensive agreement is concerned, no basis for such is now m sight. CHINESE VISIT E. GERMANY BERLIN UPI Communist China's defense minister.
