Seems like they just have to keep coming back and checking. Last weekend saw Fred Pope who was in town for a quick visit with son Steve. Fred is now with the state livestock division and having to live in Salem. He reports that all is well but that he's getting a whole new shape from riding around so much during his appointed rounds. He really keeps on the go. And has a few more junkets lined up mat will add materially to the already impressive mileage. We miss Fred, always referred to before in these columns as the Sage of Fort Klamath. But I'll bet he'll be back for good one of these days. John Blair was over from Lake- view last 'week, or maybe it was two weeks ago. Looked fit as the traditional fiddler Said all was coming along about as usual in his home town. Reported a dry year. But who doesn't? 1 recall now that it must have been right around the first of the month be cause he went over to Medford and ran into a messy fog over thataway. t,A recent release from someone or other points out that crawl space under a house Is handy in case you have termites. 1 'don't doubt this. But it does seem odd that in a world as ad vanced as ours of today there would be such a thing as a ter mite. Must be that we are so busy trying, to snuff out the spirit of Independence, build a bigger and better bomb to kill more and more people and uncover more and more methods of taxation that we just don't have time to get around to such little things as termites. Or, for that matter, the com mon cold, dripping faucets, non slip can openers and anti-slice golf balls. This year, incidenlally, marks the 100th anniversary of the term "wildcatting" as applied to oil wells. The first commercial oil well was drilled near Titusvillc. Penn sylvania on August 27, 1859, According to the legend the term started when a bunch of penni less but determined oil entrepre neurs who couldn't afford to buv leases in the proven fields moved to the barren slopes, of Wildcat Hollow. Here they fought off t?) wildlife with one hand while drill ing oil with the other. So help mc, that's what Uie release I got says. Anyway, the term started. The release goes on to say that when oil was struck the rush of hu manity to Wildcat Hollow drove even the wildcats out. Such has it always born. Just too fvany people. Maybe some of the wildcats went to California, Not long ago a bill was introduced in the as sembly there to provide funds for stepped up predator control in Trinity and Humboldt Counties. Seems, according to Sen. Carl Chrlstensen of Eureka. Jhat preda tors "havo just about taken over some farm crops." This probably didn't refer to wildcats. Just predators in gener al. A term almost as all-embracing in that context as the word "virus" is in the world of disease. the needs of intelligent people look ing for wholesome recreation at a price they can afford," asserts the release before us. Togetherness is lauded with camping as the sure cure for loosening of family tics. Mr. H. Ellsworth Nathan, Nation al Director, National Campers- Hikers Association. 1507 National Newark Building, Newark 2. New Jersey, offers information on camp ing problems. Perhaps the lure of the fragrant pines and the languid, lapping wa ters of a woodland lake are irre sistible to apartment dwellers and pavement - pounders.

C n iii pi-Ami Hikers By FLORENCE JENKINS A tccneo with the capital letters NC on one side and HA on the other distinguishes the letterhead of the National Campers-Hikers Association. News of the organization came through a two page release from the association's headquarters back In Newark. Paper is now the wonder rrodtict lor we camper, according to NC-HA. The sturdy pape. bag. used for toting groceries and ending as garbage liner is now a summer home, the new paper tents arc described as being on the order of an umbrella, popping up and pop ping down in a sprightly fashion. The paper tent weighs less than five pounds and packs into one half cubic foot of space. The same material makes rain coats and a "boot" for station wa gon living. Paper is used for sleep ing bags, too. but we already knew that because the US Forest Service fire jumpers have been using them on the Rogue River National For est for some little time. The association is a non-profit, volunteer group, organized to help those interested in camping, accord ing to our Information. "Family camping is answering Common Defense By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor One result of the Tibetan inci dent has been a growing feeling in both Pakistan and India that those two nations should patch up their differences in the interests of a common defense of the Himalayas. Since 1947. when both gained their independence from Great Britain, the two have occupied the great Indian sub-continent as suspicious and unfriendly neigh bors, divided by religion, by the dispute over Kashmir and by the battle for water rights desperate ly needed by both nations to feed their poverty-stricken peoples. But lately both have seen the dangers from expanding Commu nism on both their borders to the north. Pakistan's rugged Gilgit Agency borders Sinkiang in Red China and is divided from Soviet Russia only by a narrow strip of Afghan istan. India also borders China and ever since the Dalai Lama's flight from Tibet in March and the sub sequent friendly reception India accorded him, has been the tar get of increasing Red Chinese abuse. In Karachi, Pakistan. Air Mar shal M. Asghar Khan showed UPI Correspondent Patrick J. Killen a six-page list of recent violations of Pakistan air space. Some of these came from India. according to the air marshal, but, significantly, in the last month (here also had been recorded vio lations by unidentilied planes over the Gilgit Agency to the north. , The air marshal left the pre sumption open that those planes were Russian jet 'bombers on re connaissance flights. Asghar Khan, who at 38 is the world's youngest air marshal, commanded the Pakistani planes which recently shot down an In dian Canberra plane accused of being on a photographic mission 40 miles inside Pakistan. Despite this, he said he hoped for closer relations between India and Pakistan as result of th Ti betan incident. "Air defense of the Indian sub continent certainly would be easi er if Pakistan and India worked together," he 'said. He described an "Himalayan Pact" as a sound idea. Earlier, the influential Times of India had called lor a "summit" conference between Prime Minis ter Jawaharlal Henhru of India and President Mohammed Ayub Khan of Pakistan. It said a reconciliation between the two "is something that must be explored at the highest level." Other voices urged that as a friend of both, the United States should take an active hand in pro moting better relations between the two. . Should those relations be im proved, there is much to over come. Pakistan is Moslem and India primarily Hindu. When they achieved their inde pendence and the subcontinent was divided, a vast migration took place between the two. Sev enteen million persons migrated between the two as Moslem and Hindu separated and took refuge behind political borders. Violence was widespread and estimates at the time placed the number of killed at more than one million Conflicting claims between Pak istan and India over Kashmir still are unsettled, and water rights continue to be a steady source of friction. Nehru has shown no signs of abandoning his traditional hatred for military pacts of any kind. But he has made clear his de termination to fight any attempt to encroach upon Indian territory and circumstances eventually could change his mind about mili tary agreements. The Lighter Side By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON (UPI) - Some times when you won't know what we get for the money, all this government spending can make you feel sort of bad. But when you take the trouble to look into it and find out where some of it goes, you feel terrible SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal Today's spending report is cour tesy of a House Appropriations subcommittee which has just completed its annual study of the world-wide activities of our State Department. Subcommittee Chairman John Rooney (D-N.Y.) is among the first to concede we can't get along without the State Depart ment. He even thinks it does good job. He docs wonder 'some times about certain items. We are spending this year million dollars to teach foreign languages to the people we are sending abroad. Congress agrees this is great. However, Rooney did think it was odd they assigned one William I. Givens to Tokyo, just after teaching him French, Walter G. Walcayich learned Rus sian. Then they sent him to Car diff, At our language school at Frankfurt, Richard W. White studied German, at a cost $3,625. I suppose," said Rooney, did the American taxpayer great deal of good for Mr. White to be assigned (then) to Dub lin?" When we send our people abroad, we pay their expenses. Like $20,739.76. to move a $12,900- a-year economic officer from Teh ran to Rangoon, with home leave on the way. Another of our helpers, drawing $5,050 yearly, was ordered to Iran. We shipped over for him 10,000 pounds of household gear and his car. Then we changed our minds and sent him to Mexico City. Getting his stuff back for him, and to Mexico, cost us $7,772.76. For our consuls we like to pro vide reasonable houses. In Mu nich, a reasonable home is to cost us $122,283. In Dakar, we will spend $200,000, plus $20,000 for furniture. Our new) machine for processing passports, contrary to what Roon- ejr nad heard, has been pro nounced a success. It seems it tears up no more passports than the old one. We gave the depart ment last year $82,250 to buy secret device to thwart eavesdrop pers. It turned out though the money hasn t been spent. The de partment said this machine hasn't yet been invented. Drinks, like everything else, are getting more costly. The depart ment wants $830,000 next year, against the $750,000 we gave them last time, for what it calls its representation allowance." Anyway, the department says only about a fourth of this really goes to buy drinks. The rest is for food. Yes, Rooney said. Like $16.40 for the lunch which one of our men in Beirut recently bought for another of our men in Beirut plus a local newspaper fellow. Five of our consular posts are being raised to new rank. Our people there used to ride in Fords, Chevies and Plymouths. which cost us. delivered, $2,100. With their new status, our diplomats want Buicks. Mercuries, and Olds- mobiles, at $4,500. Even so, that could be a bar gain. They could have asked for Cadillacs, like some of our con gressional leaders. For these, we pay $11,000. r ,-, hit 7iiiii!f I fiow Vets Mail ling Despite what some veterans may believe, there is no grace period for the late payment of installments on GI loans, VA said today. Thus.-VA added, veterans should make their GI loan payments on or before the date they are due I ailure to do so may prove cost ly, VA pointed out, since GI lend ers may make an extra service charge when payments are re ceived late. VA warned that veterans who gain the reputation of being "chro nic delinquents will find their lenders taking that fact into ac count if the veterans should ever heed an extension of repayment time on their GI loans. In addition to their Ins. nf rt-nrlit standing, veterans who become de linquent in their payments may ultimately be faced with the loss of the property acquired with their GI loans. VA said.
