Young Skill
BY BILL JENKINS
Spent a considerable time at
Crater Lake National Park last
Sunday attending the ski school
jamboree on the slope of the park
headquarters site.
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.

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.

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.

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.
