PAGE 4 A HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Sundav, Julv S, 1959 FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKINS Managing Editor FLOYD WYNNE City Editor MAURICE MILLER Circulation Mgr Ph. TU 4-4752 IntloiMMlfllMH'P By BILL JENKINS The Fourth of July is over hut the holiday slill lingers on so per haps it would be still appropriate to take our annual editorial Whacks at that historic day. The United States is not the only nation in the world that has fought and won a bloody battle for freedom and independence. We re just the largest to dale and we have made it stick on a far larger scale than anyone else. In fact, since that first independ. cntly minded colonist fired the ihot heard 'round the world at the historic skirmish of Bunker Hill we have been insisting that free dom was a diet that would benefit everyone. Firing from behind tho well sup plied bastions of Fort Knox we have intensified the battle for in dependence, particularly since 1945. If I sound a mite cynical I hope I shall he forgiven. I'm an American. Moreover I'm a native Orcgonian, a fact which I decline to declare anywhere east of the Mississippi because I'm tired of hearing the same tired old comment of "Oh, that's where that man is from, isn't it?" Guess who? But, bsing an American, perhaps I have the privilege of feeling a certain concern over the future of my belovwi country. And I can't help fcelin,? considerable appre hension over what seems to me to be a backsliding spirit 'of inde pendence. I'm afeard we have reached a point where independent thought it frowned upon. A day in which the Group is tile ideal. You can call it whatever you like. You can call It Big Govern ment.. You can call it Organiza tion. You can call it (but I hope you won't) Togetherness. The main point is I fear me it Ik robbing the American people of their once deeply imbued and fiercely defended right and belief In independent thought, independ cnt actidn . and independent re action. And it Is In that last category that the greatest danger to a strong and independent America lies. Never before have the "theys" had it so good. The spirit of right. eous rebellion that flared in our colonist forefathers and that car ried the pioneers westward in or der that Oregon could have a cen tennial is beii.g crushed out be cause the individual of today is apprehensive of what "they" might say about any action fall ing outside the group-approved re action. Independent reactions by clear thinking men have done more to shape the course of the world than all the plotting of the cen turies. But now, it seems to me, the warlock flame of reaction ' has been quenched and put on the slow burner of group thinking. A basic theory which Is about as far removed from independ ence in its true sense as mud is from water. Perhaps Sunday is a good day to sit back and give a thought or two as to where we are head Ing If we continue to let "them' do our thinking for us, continue to cringe at the thought of put ting ourselves outside the pale of group thought and continue to gro vel at the shrine of togetherness which has mushroomed from a family affair to a national theory of "themncss. I am proud of my country. 1 wouldn't live anywhere else. I don't even want to travel to other continents. But I want to sec my country stay independent all the way. , .

Not by a long ways I don't. Sli'iiigr.-La? , By FLOYD L. WYNNE ' I think I've found my new home I've become a little discouraged lately what with spiraling tax rates, out-of-whack spending, the rush of getting to and coming from someplace, and the count less thousand little things thai our type of civilization demands that we do. But, I think I've found an rs Cape ... a shangri-la. n a recent release from the American Express News Bureau they painted an attractive picture of a tiny speck of an island deep la the South Atlantic. lt'a referred to as "the Lone ly Isle." It's the island of Tris tan, the only inhabited island of the Tristan da Cunha group, a British possession and a depen dency of St, Helena. The island Entered as second class matter at tlx post ofiice at Klamath Falls. Ore., on August 20. 1906. under act of Congress. March S. 1879 SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Serving Southern Oregon And Northern Calilornla lies 1.700 miles from Capetown and 2,100 miles from Rio de Jan eiro. It's actually about 16 miles square, crowned by an extinct crater which rises some 6.700 feet and serves as a reservoir at the center. Occasionally a visitor comes and goes, but in the main the com munity of about 300 hearty souls remains about the same. It's been this way for about a century and a half ... not the same 300 persons, however. It has a number of tremendous advantages. First of all, with only 16 square miles to cover, you don't need a car. As a matter of fact, there are no service stations, no gaso lines, and no cars on the island. So, your chances of being run over have just about been elimi nal'.'d. I have1 another failing that would be corrected by this move. I have trouble remembering names, and with only 300 per sons around I should be able to memorize that number of names in time. There's even talk of buried trea sure on the island. A Jonathan Lambert of Salem, Mass., arrived on t h e island in the 1800's, declared himself "Em peror of Tristan," and reportedly brought with him a huge chest heavy with plunder." However, a few years later the British established a garrison on the island, at the time Napoleon was in exile on St. Helena. They found one of Lambert's group sur viving. Tomaso Corri, tin Ital ian, who olten raged about "bur ied treasure." They say he would vanish into the bruh from time to time and return with his pock et." loaded with gold coins. They never found the treasure. So. you see, I'd have plenty' to do just looking for that buried treasure. The Tristan settlers live on farm potatoes and vegetables and catch crawfish. Homes of the col ony are all huddled together in one settlement. Floors are bare, fuel is buckthorn, a shrublike bush which grows all over the island. They don't know the meaning of gas, electricity or telephones. Lighting is by lamps burning sea elephant oil. Livestock is kept, but only slaughtered on special occasions. There isn't even a harbor on the island. Ships have to stand offshore and send boats in. Doesn't that sound like a para disiacal existence. Just think. No phone jangling in your car at all times of day or night. If you want to talk to somebody on the other side of the island, do it next time you see him, he isn t going anywhere and nei ther are you. No lawns to water and mow, the houses are made of luff, a volcan ic material, so no house to paint or keep up. Don't worry about whether there's oil in the tank or coal in the basement or gas available, don't need it. Wilh no electricity, there's no need to worry about radios or TV scls keeping jour nerves on edge worrying about the predicament of John's other wife. Sounds wonderful. There is only one alarming note At the bottom of the page, the news bureau added an after thought. "Despite Ihe obstacles, an in trepid few have managed 'to visit the island and stay lor a while A word of warning: They don't care to return!" Wonder why? Probably, they have some type of government. If they all live SHORT RIBS WARRK WWE SltK-Ocw MUST F1HD VIA! TO GtW Mil 'TUii SiVAWl I - ; . ( ue cxis ( col fjom; ) together in one community, I guess they'd have to have laws, and that would mean courts and lawyers. Imagine they also have taxes. I suppose whoever is the boss man, he gets paid, courts cost money, brush has to he kept out of the streets, the garbage prob lem would demand some control, and I suppose there's even a so cial set. And, somebody has to do the work if you're going to eat. Even potatoes and vegetables have to be planted, cultivated, har vested and put up somewhere. Yes, and the fish have to be caught, and somebody has to catch the seal-elephants to get oil for lights. (Probably got a sea-elephant oil distributor.) And then, to top it all off, I suppose the local community gov ernment has to obey a set of laws from the English government, and they have their red tape, and islanders have to pay for that, too. Mv dream of languishing on some trnniral isle while someone else automatically provided my livelihood just vanished in thin air. Well. I didn't have the money for the ship fare anyway, Service By FLORENCE JENKINS When we inventory our bless ings in this Klamath Country, let us not overlook , one profession which really serves the "commu nityon a 24-hour-a-day basis. We're talking about pharmacists who own or work for almost a dozen retail drug stores in Klam ath Falls and its suburbs. Establishing a family doctoY re lationship with a physician is a very important phase of any fam ily's life. Most of us impose to the extent of calling our family doctor at home usually because the pain never seems to become really serious until shortly before bedtime. The psychological effect of thinking about those long night hours, which may be sleepless, sends one to the telephone to ask lor help. And the doctors give generously. But the properties employed in the doctor's prescribed course of treatment must come from a drug tore. That's when it is comforting to know that a prescription can be filled when it is needed. In our youth, when drug stores were also soda fountains and the only magazine and stationery out lets in town (except for school tablets at the grocery store), they were the social gathering place during the evening and before and after the movies. The era of specialization and shorter working hours brought a change. Try driving through the business streets of a city at night today and note how few retail es tablishments of any kind, except restaurants and . bars, keep their doors open past 6 p.m. At least half of the local drug stores are open from in to 13 hours a day on a regular basis and all of them list emergency telephone numbers to call for mid- dle-of-the-night service. This service is just one more reason' why you can say you're lucky to live in Klamath Falls. Mars Cr.k By NELSON REED Things have changed a bit up on Liar's Creek since Ihe last lime we were there. The blue swamp lupin is waist high now and the Indian paintbrush is a hun dred little flames dancing over the green grass. The dragon flies swoop and dart over the sparkling' water and the mosquitoes whining in your ear make you reach for the 6 12. and while you cuss them you realize Ihcy mean better fishing. In the willows the full grown young mag- By Frank O'Neal Subscription Rates CARRIER I MONTH $ 1.50 I MONTHS $ 9.00 I YEAR $18.00 MAIL I MONTH t 150 6 MONTHS T 8.50 I YEAR 115.00 pies sit stupidly on their limb till you get close enough to touch them, squalling to their smarter parents to come and save them. As you walk through the low grass young blackbirds barely able to fly flutter up under your feet to startle you. Coming around a bend in the creek a mother Mal lard suddenly spies you and, cluck ing under her breath, tucks, away a dozen little yellow balls of fluff in the weeds before she flies off complaining bitterly to circle round and round, watching. Your old friend the Sandhill cranes are where you always find (hem, but today they behave very peculiarly. As the male flies off, filling the world with his strident cries, the mother crane puts on the most amusing broken wing act you have ever witnessed. Evident ly her one big egg has hatched and she must lead you away from her precious chick. She flutters, staggers drunkenly, stumbles and zigzags aimlessly. Then some playful blackbirds discover her and come over fb have some fun. They take turns lighting on her back, hopping otf and on, two or three at a time, all the time chattering and laugh ing to each other. You leave her to her troubles and sneak up to a big hole you know about with some overhanging willows where a fine fat trout has been known to lurk. As you stand there hoping for a bropth of air to riffle the water, you hear a rustling and a squeak ing, chattering noise in the grass. The sound comes a little closer and the grass begins to move and then you see them.. A mother mink and four young ones no big ger than little chipmunks. The old lady suddenly sees you. She stands up, wrinkling her nose to smell ou better, while the little ones huddle in the grass. Then she :omes closer and circles you cau tiously, standing up from time to time to sniff. She hisses at' you to try to make you move. She is puzzled by the mixture of man smell and fish smell in your basket. Suddenly she decides you are nit good for her children. She darts back and tucks them out of sight in the roots of a wil low. , , Next thing you know, here she comes swimming up the stream with the smallest little one in her mouth to hide it under the rubble of an old pole bridge. But Junior doesn't like it under there and pretty soon out he crawls, look ing somewhat like a small drowned rat. Mom talks him back into the, rubble pretty quick but he won't stay put. About then you decide you had better let her raise her babies without more help from you. Be sides It is time to see about that fat trout, for the wind has puffed up a bit. Yes sir, there is always something interesting going on up. on Liar's Creek. Alumnae Today Is Sunday, July 5. the 186th day of the year, with 179 more days to follow in 1959. I- The moon is new. The evening stars are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. On this date in history: In 1810, Phineas Taylor Bar num, America's great circus showman, was born. In 1865, William Booth founded the Salvation Army in London. In 1900, William Jennings Bry an and Adlai E. Stevenson ,were nominated .for president and vice president by the Democrats meet ing in Kansas City. In 1935. the Wagner-Connery bill. . .setting up the National La bor Relations Board. , .was signed into law. In 1945, Gen. Douglas Mac-Arthur announced that the Philip pine islands had been liberated. In 1948. free medical service for anyone who required it became a part of English law. Thought for today: Frank Lloyd Wright, famous architect 'said: No house should ever be on any hill or on anything. It should be of the hill belonging lo it, so hill and house live together, each the happier for the other.

Wife Like The Klamath Country Charmed, and charming, visitors lo Klamath County this weekend were Dr. and Mrs. Herwig Effcn berger. Dr. Effenberger is the West Ger man vice consul in Seattle. He and his wife visited the county to look over our economic and scenic con ditions. They first went to Crater Lake, then visited Klamath Falls for a stop at the Rotary luncheon and a tour of town, then went back to Crater Lake to do some hiking. Dr. Effenberger told Rotarians that West Germany, about the size of Oregon, has S3 million in habitants. Additionally, Berlin has a population of two and half mil lions and Communist East Germa ny has 17 million inhabitants. We see a lot of German cars in this country, and we see more and more products of the Republic of Germany, but the balance of trade still definitely is with America. Dr. Effenberger said Germany exports $600,000000 worth of goods to Amer ica each year, but buys from America goods worth $1,332,000,000. From the Pacific Northwest, his territory, West Germany buys air planes, lumber, foodstuffs and grain. More German Influence is being felt here, he said, and he cited two 'examples. For one, Wtst Germany with oth er free European nations jointly sponsored for the first time an exhibition booth. It's in the Cen On The Record KLAMATH FALLS BIRTHS BOYS ANTHONY Born to Mr. nd Mr..
