Lucius Beebe, publisher and co owner of the Territorial Enterprise (Largest Weekly Circulation In The Entire American West) down In Virginia City. Nevada, has hit the nail exactly on the head in the June 19 issue of the lively paper. 1 take the liberty of quoting him at some length here on the sub ject of doss: "The scientific probability that after a few more generations of what passes for 'progress' and as sociation with 'articulate human beings the rye of dogs, not just talking dogs in animal acts but all dogs will be able to speak and converse vocally has been ad vanced by a learned British scien tist. Sir Ronald Fisher, before a medical congress in Australia. "This could well be a major catastrophe for everyone con cerned. "Its catastrophic possibilities will be apparent to anyone upon a moment's reflection. What sane and well adjusted dog, for ex ample, listening to the repetitious Imbecilities of bis supposed bet tcrs wants to join in their idiot conversations? Speech would he an abatement of dignity and in tegrity unthinkable to the superior canine intelligence. "A good dog and an understand ing master and there should be no others can communicate with each other perfectly and there is no need for Bowser to be able to circulate among the neighbors the patent mendacity that he isn't understood at home and is mis erably underfed. "Worst of all, from the doggy point of view, speech might eas ily reverse the present altogether satisfactory relationship in which the master deludes himself that he Is boss man and Bowser his intelligent slave. This has been carefully cherished and cultivated by generations of pets and is the thesis upon which the entire dog man status is predicated. Given speech and the consequent capa city for making a fool of himself, a dog might easily demonstrate past all doubting that his intel ligence is no greater than a man's or even, conceivably, less. No dog in his right mind is going to prej tdice his enviable social and eco nomic position just for the sake of exchanging breakfast table insults with a human meal ticket who doesn't even know where his bones are burled. "The whole project is prepos terous and detrimental to the best interests of animals in genera and dogs in particular. No doubt the learned Sir Ronald has heard all about it by now from his own Rover." Odds W ItadN By FLOYD L. WYNNE The new shift of the city from (ranked parking tickets to those where you have to put on the postage, has occasioned a some what costly receipt from Nevada In the mail recently at the traf fic division desk was a parking ticket from a Nevada resident that required 29 cents in portage due It was charged to the city Irank. The envelope contained M pen nics, carefully glued to a sheet of paper. Net profit to the city (rum such a fine was mighty small. Incidentally, the new change promises to save the city lax payers a considerable amount. and that's always welcome news Newspaper advertising is ex trcmcly eflcctije. but there is the case ot a recent item wnicn was advertised by a Klamath mor chant that was perhaps loo elfcc live. Noel Flynn of Payless Drug re cently included an ad in the Herald and ' News as follows, "Deluxe plush skunks S1.9B." A note from our Lakeview cor respondent. Jo Decly. says, "The enclosed ad is being questioned by some of the residents of Plush You might tell Noel that he shouldn't try to sell his native county so short! They are a little concerned, too. as lo the 'deluxe' variety." Flynn. Incidentally, comes Irom the Lake County area. Governor Mark llatlirld will he officially opening the Johns-Man-ille plant today. He arrived from Salem Tuesday morning and was to officiate at the opening cere monies at the plant at about 11 m. But, for a while, it was uncer tain whether or not he would be available to do the honors. U wasn't that ba bad another state engagement, but rather an engagement that simply relused to be tied down to a day and time. The Johns-Manville date threat ened f o r a while to play second fiddle to the stork, but at last reports, the governor was going to be here anyway. As of Monday afternoon, the stork hadn't arrived for the Hat- fields, and Governor Mark was hoping he would delay his visit for just a little longer. Ever wonder how the photog rapher sometimes happens on the scene of some of the accident or fire shots that we print? Take for instance the pictures of the McCollum fire that were print ed in Monday's issue Olio Ellis was called sleepily out of bed at about 4 ia Mon day morning, and told about the lire. He took some shots and wait ed until daybreak to get some better ones. Who got him out of bed? Well, I called him at 4 a m. Who called me' Charlie Mc Farlan of Station KFLW. I don't know who called him. One of the most apt qunles I've found lately is this one, ".Most of us like a person who comes right out and says what he thinks especially when he thinks what we think." By FLORENCE JENKINS A lot of words are being writ ten about a law under considera tion by Cuba's revolutionary re gime to charge people for society items published by the press. One peso each for names, adjectives, pictures on society pages would jump lo 100 pesos if mention of nobility is included. Pictures may go as high as 10 pesos per square inch. Our local financial advisers couldn't guess today's value of the rebel peso (probably it will change by tomorrow, anyhow), but what ever the value, the whole theory back of charging for publication ol news is cockeyed. It is a misconception which has been hard to dispose of. It has been only a matter of a little more than 10 years, for example, that arrivals in Mexico Cily by air could get their names printed in Mexico City newspapers with out somebody paying for the pub lication. Usually, it was the air line involved, but of course the name of the airline was not men tioned as that would commercial ize the news item. United Air Lines Hamp Macomb- r. who was transferred from Port land to Chicago just a few months ago. was the airline ollicial who finally broke the Impasse in Mexi co City. He was, for six or seven years, head of LAMSA. United's Mexican subsidiary which has since been sold lo a Mexican air line. Speaking of United Air Lines. we're going to miss them and Stan Randolph, who has been a mighty nice person to da business with while he has been local man ager. Increased service is one element of progress, of course, and the West Coast crowd are our friends, too. but we always leel a touch of sadness at the departure of any one we like from Klamath Falls TimoN II live riinniiiMl By NELSON REED Just because my first name Is Nelson is not the only reason that it tickled me no end when Inge mar knocked Floyd goofy in the third round. The Swede had gone about his business ol training without a lot ol fuss and foolishness. About all he had to say was that he was going to win. He wasn't silly enough to show olf his now fa moos right hand by knocking out SHORT RIBS ( VS OF Th a lot of dumb sparring partners What a monkey he made out oi most of the experts! But 1 am sure that in addition lo that right he had a "secret weapon" that any oldtime faller. or lumber piler or steel ganger would know about. We leel sure he took the fight "on contract." Any American lighter like Floyd Patterson who has come up re cently in an economy where every thing is paid for by the hour at the going union Kale just couldn't stand up against a "square head" who was used to doing things "contract." If you don't think so, ask an , oldlimer who bucked that kind of competition in the woods around here 30 years ago. Those Svcnskas could fall more trees, buck more logs, lay more steel, and pile more lumber "on contract" in one day than any other breed of timber beasts could do in three, on hourly wages. Times have sure changed around K F. Thirty years ago if a Swede had won the heavyweight cham pionship of the world all the lum ber operations would have to shut down (or a week. The cops would have to put on an extra shift and the "defrosting room" down in the cooler would be really loaded. Now a mere handful of Ingcmar's fel low countrymen stand around out side the poolhalls and beer joints, chirping in their singsong voices through a mouthful of snoose. Sure they are pleased but "by yim- miny" they aren't just about to lick some other "feller" who says Ingemar couldn't have licked John L. himself or Jack Dempsey even. I'clii-iiii Tliiilw Klamath Falls iTo the Editor' There is a rumor that the fam ous old Pelican Theater is in dan ger of being torn down to make way for something which may be considered a more progressive ad vancement to Klamath Falls. To the writer, this seems all out of reason with progress and is quite disturbing when thought of with deep clarity of just what this fine building could mean in the way of real cultural advancement to the community as a whole. Especially important to the wel fare and education of any com munity is that element which ren ders the greatest good to the ma jority of its inhabitants in plan ning and arranging that which contributes the more urgent (ac tors of a full life, something which corrects and improves that community's lite. Just what is constructive about building a line lasting foundation only to tear it down at greater cost than it took to build in the beginning" It would not take giganlic ef fort for the residents of K F. to recapture some of their most sat isfying recollections dating back through the years o( the many line productions rendered for their pleasure and enlightenment in really cultural advancement en acted in this well appointed the ater building. , There are lew cities of like pop ulation who can boast a theater more adequately arranged to ac commodate the lull production of legitimate stage or screen plays operas, concerts, school plays, (benelits and musicals. Klamath rails has no other edihee in.which all the necessary appointments re quired are incorporated as in the construction of the Pelican The ater building. Not only as a place of enter tainment is this building an as set. There are many other lea tures lo con-ider (or example, there are plenty of rooms where many now crowded and uncom fortahle municipal offices could be housed Why not think about the city hall, fast lading into a sense ol discomlort Irom being crowd ed, even with its late extension? no olfense intended to city hall. By Frank O'Neal ? ITS A UTTU 4NT0N Vmi, Birr .....y . ...H6 UNXS A MITf ) which is another subject for rumors! I may be all wrong, but it seems that a community so ever ready to grasp opportunities could aail itself of the civic comfort and the splendid atmosphere which could accompany ownership or some planned conventions of the Pelican Theater building. Hate not many conventions by passed Klamath Falls or in some cases been allowed to go else where because of lack of space in which to house their meetings? Of course, there have been many spectacular performances such as wrestling, boxing, big time out-of-town musicians put on at tbe Ar mory. They also spend their mon ey out of town. What about the talent of the fine local people who have spent months in creating high class pro ductions in theater arts, well worth the participation of any cultural cenler. only to be faced with the problem of inadequate quarters in which to olfer these educational projects to the public. The very location of the peli can Theater is ideal for every phase of community closeness and warmth of high standards and edu cational advancement. Let's hear from some of our educators or anyone interested about what could be done with this line building, to preserve it rather than waste it on the scrap heap. Hclrn Applegate, Jessie Lee Hosford Bryan. Director Klamath's Children Theater lil-Slnr Flag By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON iL'Pl The way things are going the most spirited patriotic display around here on July 4 will take place on the roof of the capitol. Starting at 12 01 a m., when the new 49-star flag becomes official, a crew of maybe 10 capital po lice will lay aside their law books and pistols and spell each other for hours running flags up and down a battery of five flag poles. According to capitol architect J. George Stewart, this could go on through the dawn's early light, all day. and maybe into the night. depending on certain lactors like whether you, too. want to get into the act. Based on present indications, at least 1.000 scout troops, legion posts, chambers of commerce. and ordinary taxpayers are hop ing to acquire the lirst 49-star Hag to be flown over the capitol. Barring acts of God. like' thun derstorms. Stewart will see to it they all get it, almost. Specifical ly, each applicant will receive a 49-star flag duly certified to have been flown over the capitol the first day on which this was legal. 01 course the first, first flag to he flown over the capitol will go to the new state of Alaska. Stewart won't like me for this, but actually it still isn't too late to put your name in the pot. . An air mail special to your con gressman, enclosing $5.80 to cover the cost of a brand new, beauti ful. 5 by ( flag, or $2.35 for one just as pretty but only 3 by S. is all that's required. Just tell him you want a flag that has flown over the capitol on the. Fourth of July. He will buy the Hag in the House station ery store land those prices are about half what you would pay elsewhere1 and pass It along in its red. white and blue box to the architects office. As ol Monday, that office was awash in red. white and blue boxes, awaiting the historic day. Of course, there are always some people who have to be dif ferent. They are asking for the last 48-star flags to be flown over the heads of the Congress on July 3. But to get in on this you will have to supply your own flag. The stationery store is sold out of these old-fashioned models. Congress got into the flag busi ness so long ago nobody remem bers when. The original idea was to award some worthy group the tattered remains ol the big I by 12 lags that fly rain or shine and 24 hours daily from the East and West fronts of the capitol. But these didn't wear out fast enough lo meet the demand. So along about 1937 some bright member just bought a new lag and took it to the people in charge. "Just let it flutter a minute, and then give me a letter to cer tily that it did." he requested. The word got around and Con gress" flag business has been fly ing high ever since. Last year 2.113) emblems went out. each with an appropriate letter from S'ewart. certifying to its historic flight. Stewart, in his letter, doesn't actually say how long the flag Aide Chosen Eva M. Cook and Fred W. Heard, co-chairmen of the Appling weekend planned by local Repub licans. July 11-12, announced to day that Mrs. Ann Walters had been appointed chairman of the public reception. The reception honoring Secre tary of State and Mrs. Howell Appling Jr., will be held at the Winema Hotel in the Camas Room at 8 p.m. They stated, "This is a tine opportunity or the people of the Klamath Basin to meet the secretary and his wife, Jane Eliz abeth. The trip will be his first visit since Gov. Mark Hatfield ap pointed him last January." Co-chairmen Cook and Heard stated that the potluck picnic is scheduled for Sunday, July 12, at 1:30 p.m. in the Malin Park. DISCOVERER TOO SLOW INGLEWOOD, Calif.
