If you don't believe it just take a listen. On every side you will hear the drone of a motor of some tort. Leader in the list of pests, of course, is the automobile. You go A long way In get away from this sound. And it is surprising how far the sound of a car's motor will travel. Particularly when you want to sleep. But the car is not the only audi tory indication of today's noise lev el from the motor standpoint There are a great many others From almost any spot around the Klamath Basin you can hear the panting roar of the dicsel en gines as they haul their long loads ever the railroads or stand, hotly waiting, at some siding. The big trucks hit the hills wilh an oily grunt as the wheels bile deeper and deeper into the grade. There are loo many sawmills to mention. And in each sawmill there are motors beyond number. There are huge diesels and tiny air motors. There is the constant bick er of the one lunger gas engine. The woods are full of the choked and desperate sound of the chain saws. The lakes and streams are over hung wilh the sound of boat mo tors, the stately burble of the in boards, the exultant whine of the high speed outhoards, the content ed murmur of the trolling mo tors. Downlown areas have their hare, too. The cars and trucks are the background. Listen closer and you will find the soft sounds of exhaust motors going in the alleys, the whine of winches haul ing their tiresome loads from street level to the upper floors, the sudden scream of a booster motor in some commercial plant. The open fields of the larms and ranches have their share, loo. of this molor song to tomorrow. The tractors going paliently up and down the rows. The big cats huff ing and nufting at their heavy jobs of earth moving and leveling, the Irrigation puimp adding a soft wnir to me woria. It Is a rare moment indeed when you are free of the overhead roar of airplanes, ) ranging from t h e steady drone of the light plane to the obscene vulgarity of the jet's noisome passing. No matter what remote wilderness ynu seek out there will always he this sound of civilization overhead. In time ft will drown out all other sounds. But by then It won't matter be cause there won't be any human cars to hear. Even In the home you are not free of this civilized nole. Motors of all sorts are going on and off at all times. The refrigerator nev er slops in its llrelcss fight to keep the warmth out. The automa tic heaters keep up a constant clicking of switches and whirring of motors to keep the cold out. The dishwasher hums through its daily task. There are hair dryers and the drills, fans and lawnmow ers, film projectors and water pumps to add their sound to the world of living. It is coming to the point where the human already slops in his dai ly conversation in deference to these powerful-lunged creations of progress. Man himself standing aside, mule, in tho fnco of the motors he himself created. As this is written I can distin guish quite a few of these motors myself. I can hear a dredge work ing alongside the shore of the lake. I tan hear at least two planes, light ones, going overhead. A mo ment or two ago a bumbling heli copter nosed its unsure way across the sky. Cars are passing on the road and in the distance, but get ting louder, I can hear a loaded log truck coming down from the forests. Across the lake I can hear the sound of the mills, huffing and pulling away. From the direction of town I can hear the traffic mut . ler and the strident sound of a lire siren. It is the age nf motors. We might as well face it. Or at least listen to it. Reach Biscayne and eight lending kennels from St Petersburg run dogs at this racing park near Bos lon. The pari-muliiel handle for (hi park's 100-day 1958 meeting wa.s $41,627,470, down a little over $200, 0,'itl from the 1057 meet. Daily av erage attendance in 1058 was 12.840 compared wilh 12,770 patrons the prior year. After provision for federal and stale income taxes amounting to Si.074..K) 14. the net income for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1959, was $840,518.78.

At HO cents a share, if you purchased the slock longer lhan seven years ago, you are re ceiving 10 "per cent or better re turn on your money. Dog racing is big business across the nation. In Oregon, ton, the Portland dog track has added ap preciably to the state revenue each year. Itigliorn SIhmi fly NELSON REED There is a very interesting ar ticle in this month's issue of the Oregon Stale Game Commission Bullclin about the Bighorn sheep over in the Hart Mountain coun try. Each year since the intro duction of a hand of sheep from British Columhia, a census has been taken of the nucleus band held in a thousand-acre juniper canyon enclosure. This year for Ihc first time a census was taken of the 21 surplus animals released from the pasture inlo the craggy peaks in 1057. Anyone who has been to Hail Mountain, or has even driven from Lakevicw to Burns, knows what a rugged cliff and canyon-lorn coun try that is. There are very few roads even for a jeep and making the sheep survey involved some really tough mountain climbing and foot work. Allcr a lot of rough going, I he census parly found the sheep The game Bulletin writer gives this vivid description of their behavior: "At our appearance, the hand headed inlo the rock escarpment to the south. The nimble footed animals progressed without fear of the almost sheer walls upon which they were climbing, leaping Irom ledge lo ledge, some scarcely wide enough to land upon. They traveled at breakneck speed and disappeared among the cliffs high above. "Out of sight, the animals im mediately doubled back and soon reappeared to the north, still an gling upward among the dizzying heights. They stopped on hench es several times tp look back, and then continued north al the same pellmell pace." The final tally nf sheep outside the pen stood at 30 bighorns. 15 ewes, 10 lambs and one yearling ram, so the original hand released lias increased by at least nine animals. No big rams were seen though some have been observed by rangers at olher times. So the total Bighorns both in and out nf Ihe pen now stands at 58. a de cided increase over Ihe original hand nf 2ft brought down from British Columhia. It looks very encouraging for the reestablish ment of this once native game. Ilrir lrofil By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (API Christian A. Herter (or a secretary of state is a very (rank man. His feel ings as he returns to Geneva for talks with the Soviets, he says, might he unfit to print.

Is pretty generally conceded to be one popular amusement which flourishes during depressions. So It should be a good sign that times are good when the annual statement of Revere Racing Asso ciation, Inc., states: "The trend this year in raring across the nation has shown a decrease in both attendance and pari-mutuel handle." Revere Racing runs greyhound racing at Wonderland Park, Re vere, Massachusetts. America's leading greyhound kennels race at Wonderland. Top kennels from West Flagler and Miami Fearh. leaden from Hollywood, Palm ing secretary nf slate herl tried lo say he was pessimis about success in the American-S viet talks which resume Mondi. at Geneva. He didn't actually say he wi pessimistic. He just said he wasn oplimistic. Just a short time at at Geneva he finished six week of talks with the Soviets- and gc nowhere. This next go-round ma; last weeks, loo. . Then one nf the 10ft newsmen who crowded inlo the Slate De pari ment auditorium to see hin perform where his predecessor lohn Foster Dulles, had hell forlh so ollen asked him near thi end of the 40-minute conference: Mr. Secretary, if you could use only one word to describe your feelings as you head back toward Geneva, what would that one word be?" Herter grinned. Twice he had used lack of optimism as a eu phemism for pessimism. He seem ed to search his mind an instanl for that one word to describe his leclings. Then he said: "It might be unprintable." That was a directness alien to ihe mind of Dulles, who died May 24. The late secretary, a highly suc cessful lawyer, talked like one. He used his great legalistic skill in getting across American view points, staling policy positions and floating trial balloons. He handled his news conference like a stage manager. But his sentences and his ideas and this was the lawyer work ingwere interwoven with quali fications and implications that sometimes had to be dug out like shrapnel from under the skin. He was a master at leaving the tack door open in case he had to retreat. Yel, unlike Ihe rambling, dis connected, broken sentences and unfinished thoughts of President Eisenhower at a news conference, Dulles' sentences were always, despile twists and turns, gram matically sound and flowing. So is the sentence structure of Hcrler, a "proper Bostonian" from Harvard. But Herter is easi er to follow. His sentences are shorler, more direct. He has a simplicity Dulles lacked. Dulles ran the Slate Department out of his hat. Often he gave an impression of arrogance. Herter, who depends on teamwork, seems a less complicated man of good nature and good will. He was relaxed Thursday, al though crippled i) arthritis. He smiled easily, was unpretentious,. and it was clear he had done his homework in the three years he has been in the State Department ine M-year-old Herter was named under secretary lale in 1058. He didn't become secretary until April 22. In between those dales ne was completely over shadowed by Dulles and probably thoroughly ignored. So he had time to learn his job It showed Thursday when he knew detailed background of American problems In Europe and Asia Nevertheless, it was a prclty drab news conference. Herter for the most part and particularly about his lack of optimism on Geneva simply was restating what he had said or implied before. His ease in handling the news-l men is no guarantee he will he a good secretary of state. The proof and Ihc lest lie before him: He has 18 months in the job be fore the Eisenhower administra tion ends. So far he has shown very lilt lo sign of forccfulness. But that proves nothing yel. He's not the type anyway to come in wilh a roar. He has a choice: Follow Dulles' policy or try to break new ground. Dulles' policy was frozen and in many ways unimaginative: He just followed Ihe Truman-Acheson policy of stiff-arming the Soviets on all fronts. That worked all! ;ht so long as Ihe Soviet L'nioi is comparatively weak. It isn't no. American polic lay have lo prove far more flexi e lo meet the changing time, jw situations, and increasing be jerence of the Soviets. Herli usn't had time yet to show him elf or prove himself. Yvt Mail Hag Despite a 20 per cent drop unde ast year in Ihe number of veteran: raining under the Korean GI Bill veil over half a-million Korea vet ;rans were enrolled in the sprin; ithool term just ended, the Vet ;rans Administration reported to day. In fact. VA said one in every seven males on the college cam pus this spring was a veteran at tending under the Korean GI Bill. Last year's total for the spring term was nearly 700.000. This fig ure wasn't far helow the all-time peak of the Korean GI Bill in 1057, when more lhan three-quarters-of-a-million veterans were attending the nation's schools and colleges. Veterans' enrollments this fall will be near the half-amillion mark, VA predicted. In the years ahead, under the present law the numbers will de cline still further. The Korean GI , Bill education and training pro gram, now in us sevenm year, comes lo an end January 31. 1965. So far, 40 per cent of all Korea veterans or 2,266,00ft ol the 5,- 443,000 veterans who served during the period of the Korean War have made use of their GI training benefits, VA said. One half of the GI trainees have gone to college. The rest attended schools helow the college level, or trained on the job or on the farm. QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Q I will be going back to school this fall, under the G( Bill. I want to change my course. Would I be eligible (or VA vocational counseling to help me choose a new course better suited to my aptitudes. I have never changed courses. A Yes. In filling mil your application for a change of course, indicate that you want vocational counseling. VA will schedule an appointment for you.
