Surveys in the northern nesting grounds show a marked lack of water. And the rains haven't come. The last report from the Fish and Wildlife Service is pretty much on the pessimistic side. But it usually is and the situa tion could change. At least we are better off here on the Pacific Flyway than an., one else. Locally the situation isn't so dis couraging. Jim Mohr. of the Ore gon State Game Commission. Came in the other day with the spring Canada goose count fig ures. In five transects (areas) the broods averaged just over four birds. Spring Lake produced It broods. Alkali Lake 14, Sprague River 40. Klamath River 120 and the Klamath Marsh 51 for a total Of 236 broods. Compared with last year this is gain of 30 broods. Going down the line we find that Spring Lake is up by eight broods, Alkali Lake is up by nine. Sprague River is down by 37, Klamath River is down by 189 (this count was made early which may have effected the figure ma terially) and the Klamath Marsh li up by 43 broods. None of the areas lie within refuge areas. I guess we'll just have to wait and see Gone forever! One more item. I notice in driving around the woods that you almost never sec a tin pail any more. Lots of tin cans, beer cans, pop cans, tobacco cans, oil cans and such like. But the old lard pail is a thing of the past. I remember from my youth that we always had a supply of lard pails around. They were, useful for a wide variety of things. You could pick blackberries in them You could boil water over a camp fire. You could fill them with shells when you visited the coast You could store things In them' such things as fish worms, polly wogs, periwinkles, frogs and other paraphernalia necessary to young boys. Now that we have entered the plastic age, which Lucius Beebe re fers to as the age of total trash, I guess we'll just have to kiss such old standbys goodbye. Seems a shame, too. I'm sure you'll be glad to know that today started National Cir cus Week. We also kicked off the month-long Playday USA and National Recreation Month. -If you-all are a you-all remem ber that Wednesday next is the birthday of Jefferson Davis anJ Is observed as Confederate Memor ial Day.

In fact, he used some of his own playing cards as insulation in the electrical fric tion machine which he built in 1731. Americans play a variety of card games. The Association of American Playing Card Manulac turers estimates they play at leas: 200 dilferent games and that bridge la right up there with pinochle and poker in popularity. In Europe Rex Bridge Is becom Ing to Contract what Contract was to Auction lor Canasta to G i n Rummy?). Top Swedish bridge players who originated the new version say it will replace con ventional Contract entirely. These players have re-ranked the cards, placing the king at the top and th. ace as the lowest. It doesn't seem to be catching on in this country, according to all reports. A group of Stanford University students, tired of seeing how many collegians could jam into a phono booth, turned to bridge. Forty of them kept a single bridge gamv going continuously in relays for even days. They established what they believe to be a world's rec ord for the longest continuous bridge game. A total of 1M rub bera was played during the mara thon. Bridge seems to be gaining in popularity in Klamath Falls. Some of the new artificial bidi leave this writer a little cold.

I'hoiio Hills By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON (UPI) Con gress has a wonderful new auto matic telephone exchange, with 3.444 phones. But an unnerving discovery has been made. Each phone has been quietly connected with just about every city and most towns in the country. This communications nrfvanrp took place without ceremony on April 14 when direct distance dial ing began locally. The first phone hill since then has not come in. House and Sen ate officials, on the basis of cer tain unfortunate experiences the past, are gearing themselves tor a shock. Meanwhile, in a move born more of desperation than-hope tney nave witnneid from the law makers special supplements to the phone book listing the out of town cones. They don't really believe this wilt nelp much, at least not fo. long. I he code books are avail- able generally to all telephom subscribers. Members can bring em irom nome. But it is figured that the lonire it takes members, and their thousands of helpers, to learn of the new do-it-yourself long dis tance system the fewer marathon coast-to-coast conversations wil show up. unexplained, on Congress leiennone Dill. House Clerk Ralph Roberts has warned a House Appropriations subcommittee these unrecorded calls could run lo thousands of dollars a month. Congressional ca Is. local anil long distance, used to go through operators. But the load got too big ana aooul 18 months ago a new automatic switchboard was in stalled. Until the advent of direct dis tance dialing a member or an employe or a reporter in the ores gallery wanting to call out ol town dialed 8 lor the long distance operator. sne made tbe call and in the process, made a note on who put It in. Most members still are niakine their long distance calls this way. uiners inevitably are learning that all they need do is dial 9. then the proper code, then the phone to be called. This kind of call winds up charged to Capital 4-3121. which is the Capitol. From what extension was the call made? Nobody can say. Roberts, who gets 119,1V) a year to worry about such problems was carelul of -course not to as any congressman would cheat on his long distance tolls. The tax payers pay each House member V long distance hills anyway up to s.noo minutes per two-year term ith comparable allowances also i or senators. But even before direct distance dialing. Roberts said, somebody was always free-loading on the congressional phones. For the last year or so direct dialing was pos sible to points in the nearby area, like Baltimore. The monthly toll for unaccounted calls under this system sometimes has run into several hundreds of dollars. Lately Roberts has balked at pay inS tbe bill. He didn't say specifi cally why. Other sources said one potfible reason was the frequency with which racetracks at Laurel and Bowie showed up on the list of points called. Another recipient of much congressional- telephone patronage. It developed, was a nearby bookmaker. . This would be a variation of the same thing." Roberts moaned. except it would involve thousands of dollars instead of a hundred or Kiiropc By R ELM AN MORIN NEW YORK (API Hal Boyle, the regular steward of this space, trequentiy turns poor man s phi losopher and makes with homely observations on the passing show.

Architects generally have pro nounced views on subjects not closely related to cantilevers and free-flowing living space. Here is Edward Stone on some aspects of the American scene: The American Male "I think woman's job is to rehabilitate not only the physical appearance of this country, but the male him self. She must get him out of a hula shirt and into a dinner jack et. At present, while she may be wearing a lovely, diaphanous frock, he looks like an unmade bed or a one-man slum. titles "Politicians aiwavs say that if the opposition candidate is elected to office, grass wil. grow on Main street. 01 course, this is exactly what should hap pen.

If you pre fer a bent chrome chair to a rocker, or a high-powered car to horse-drawn carnage, you need therapy." The Countryside "Someone has said that in this era ol pros perity and overabundance, we seem to be able to afford every thing but beauty." Highways "All hishwavs hould be free of billboards and hamburger joints. All should be tree-lined. Recently, a high offi cial of the automobile industry recommended that all trees should be cut down along the highways menace to motorists. Per haps the industry could eliminate four feet of vulgarity from the length of the car and better spend the money creating destinations lor motorists. The American Home "Twenty ears ago we had living rooim of 20 by 30 feet. Now you can nly tell a room from a closet hy the hook strip on the wall." American Customs "The cur rent rage for informality in Amer ican life is a lame excuse for laii less. It is obviously easier to feed he children hamburgers in the back yard than it is lo hav them sit at a dinner table. This all stems from California which, by the way, Fred Allen said was a fine place if you were an orange.' Creativeness "If you are jeal ous ot your ideas, it is a sign you have too few.

Mencken said no man should ever make an important decision with out first consulting his wife sim ply because she is a creature ol superior intelligence. There is nothing more terrifying to the male than a woman with a worth while cause." Character Always keep a few character defects handy. Peo ple love to talk about your frail ties.

The conference was asked Fri day to memorialize the denom i nation i General Conference for a resident bishop at Seattle with charge over most of Washington and the Alaska Conference. This would take the area from the jurisdiction of Bishop A. Ray mond Grant of Portland, leaving him with episcopal charge over the Idaho and Oregon Conferences and Southwestern Washington. George Atkinson of ban Fran cisco, chairman ol tne Western Jurisdictional Conference Study Commission, proposed the memor ial. "This is not a personal slam at the present incumbent," said At kinson. We believe the job is too large for one bishop." The Methodist Lhurcn s West ern jurisaic.ion presently hat bishops at Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland. The move already has been re jected by both the Idaho and Alaska Conferences. Bishop Grant also has urged caution on any move lo divide the area.

They believe it was dictated more by practical politics than by conviction and that Cas tro realized he would have to se cure his revolution at home be fore exporting it to Hait, Nicara gua or Guatamala. They believe his decision also was prompted by the quick action of the Organiza tion o (American States in curb ing the attempted invasion o! Panama from Cuba. However, they say it is a breathing spell only and that the Caribbean will continue to be a powder keg so long as the crusade-minded Cuban government offers haven to revo lulionaries. Shakeup? Poland's Premier Josef Cyran- kiewicz is the subject of this pop ular story: "Poland would have been sure of a gold medal in the last Olympics if we had entered Cyrankiewicz for the water events. He can swim in any wa ters." Nonetheless, reports persist in Warsaw that Cyrankiewicz is on his way out and that he prob ably will be succeeded by Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki. London diplomats returning Irom Warsaw say that while th Polish1 press speaks less frequent ly these days of a separate Polish road to socialism, there is no sicn mat Wladislaw Gomulka, first secretary of the Communist Par ty, is returning four-square to the Moscow line. A hitherto unpublished story about Gomulka is of a clash re ported to have taken place last year between Gomulka and East German Communist leader Walter t.'lbricht during the latter 's visit to Moscow. Ulbricht planned a life-breathing speech attacking the United States. Gomulka asked him to tone it down, an when Ulbnchl refused, the speech was cancelled despite the fact radio and TV time had been cleared and crowd of 2,500 wailed.
