We should have stood at home. It was cooler. I'm sure of it. But we had an enjoyable time o! it anyway, saw a lot of coun try that I hadn't been into in 20 odd years and got some of the itch out of our feel. Left here last week with Dick Eimers and, to accommodate him in seeing country that he hadn't been in before, went up the West side. That was about the prettiest and. coolest part of the trip, really. We swung up through Fort Klam ath, paused for a brief moment at Kimball Park which we found neat as a pin and pretty as ever and then on over ihe old Sun Mountain Road to Highway 97. Too hazy for pictures. Paused in Chemult for a last minute ice check and I hen took ofl lor Highway 58. turned on it and went on to the Elk Lake junc tion. The hard way In go, believe me, in through Davis Lake, Crane Prairie and lhalaway. Pretty coun try if you like lodgcpolc and pum ice dust. And I do. Not loo much travel on these roads although Ihc camps along the way were pretty well filled-out with fishermen and vacationing families. Just this side of Elk Lake we ran into a construction delay. The Forest Service, I guess, is really putting a road in to lie into the blacktop on the other side of Ihe lake. We got through after a short wait and found F.Ik Lake loaded. I mean loaded. People, boats, cars and repeal. We didn't stop here but went on tip the blacktop to Devils Lake, which I hadn't seen in many a long year. It was loaded, Ino. Sparks Lake, just on up Ihe pike. was pretty full and we turned off for Todd Lake. The last time I had been there was way hack be fore the war when my dad and I went up for a camping trip. In those days it was a (airly isolat ed little place with only a dirt road going in. Now it has a grav eled road, trailer parking space, a public camp and all kinds of pic nic facilities. Still searching nut a lithe pri vacywe only had sleeping bags and felt pretty much left out of it with the trailer crowd all around us we look Ihe dirt road for Sis ters that winds up over Ihe ridge, pasises just under Ihe Broken Top crater and then drops down through the hills to the flats again. Up near the top of Ihe bench we found a faint cat trail leading off into the brush, put the Jeep to it and ended up on a little creek meadow. - It was really a lovely camp and never boresome. You could always pause and listen tn the mosquitoes talk it over. According to the alti meter in the pickup we were at 6,800 feel. All around were snow banks. And yet It stayed hot. I don't understand it. Just up from the camp the creek ran under a solid bridge of snow and ice aiftl up from Ihe creek on a massive rockslide was an ice cave with a ceiling some four feet above Ihe rocks. It was really quite spectacular and I wished 1 had remembered my flash Run for" the camera in order to lake pic turps. But it was sure nice to spread the beds out on Ihe meadow grass stretch out and look up at the bright stars and listen lo Ihe wind in the trees and the rush of Ihe creek hurrying on its way to ob livion in the lowlands. Enormous T-hone steaks grilled over a bed of charcoal ,i we really went first class since weight was no problem I did nothing to make the picture less agreeable. But it was still too hot to sleep. And every lime you kicked the sleeping bag open the mosquitoes staged a commando raid that left Jour ribs showing hare and white In the moonlight. Oh well, such is the lilo of Ihe camper. Too' hoi now lo write more, but more tomorrow. his ase as 70, whereas he is only ill). Apologies and all that ... but i( he'd let his wile know the truth. ... Incidentally, sometimes credit is overlooked. It happened in the re cent account of the Hildehrand lire. Men from many sources were used lo combat the blaze, includ ing prisoners from Ihe county jail. We listed all the groups of men gien to us, but somewhere along the line someone overlooked a 20 man crew from Buck Springs in Douglas County who contributed a great deal, toward corralling the fire, l.et's hasten to make amends and extend congratulations to all who look part. While w-e seem to he dwelling on wrong names, let's talk about another hit of misplaced credit. In Ihe account of the platform and steps built on the railroad locomotive in Veterans Memorial Park, City Manager G. S. Vergeer, and even Al Condrey, liaison be tween Ihe cily and the railroad committee, lisled Norman Jones as the contractor who built them. After giving Norman credit in a Sunday editorial, I find that credit was due Joe Jones, not Norman. But beyond shifting credit to where it rightfully belongs, we will change nothing else. It was a wonderful job, much needed, and well done. Welcome lo George Price who took over the duties as Park and Recreation director on July 15. Many boxing fans remember George very well for his fistic talent which carried him so capa bly through a number of encoun ters in the Klamath Falls Armory rena and also during his stint in the Navy. Price is busy these days finding his way around, and taking a firm grip on the job vacated by Bob Bonney. George formerly was assistant recreation director for Ihe Willa malane recreation district ii Springfield. From my knowledge of Price, Ihc city has acquired an able and resourceful park and recreation di rector. Welcome aboard, George. On Ihe brighter side, fresh proof that want-ads in the Herald and Nevvs gets results comes from an employe in Ihe classified ad de partment. Mary Marg Addison. She advertised Sunday that she had a little "orange kitten with while feel" that was looking for a good home. She reports at least seven calls, bringing a good home for one killen, a home for still another kitlen. and calls for others she did not have. , Her comments were pointed. "This is proof," she said, "that there is a good market for little kittens, and those people who drop them off in the street . . . (being a young lady, she left it at that point'. Let's leave it al the same point. gent business on the forest roads. Not only is Ihe lire season get ting underway early this year, but it already has a head start. A total of 2.1 rangeland and forest Castro's final victory ocralic and Iherelore anti-communistic." That paragraph was phrased nearly two years in advance of fires have been reported in Klam ath County in the last seven days. Kangeland is secondary consider ation to timber with KFPA, but ihc grass fires can spread into heavi- y timbered areas mighty fast. This year's fires are so hot and the grass and brush is consumed so quickly and so completely that there isn't as much smoke as is usually associated with the lores! lire season, KFPA men have point ed out. They are so hoi and so fast. however, that it has taken Ihe combined cooperation of all fire lighting and volunteer azencies to control them as quickly as they have. Volunteers have been remark ably quick on the scene, accord ing lo the district warden. A. N. Kelsey had Ihe first bulldozer on last week's big fire and KFPA is still using it. Weyerhaeuser Tim ber Company, Loveness Lumber nf Malin, Leonard Putnam, George Stacy and Lowell Jones Logging Company had men, bulldozers and other equipment on Ihe fires. In addition, the Klamath reservation crews directed by Vic Sisson and Hilly Crawford have been on the inb for a week. Klamath County Sheriff Murray Britton found 34 volunteers from the county jail. Our cooperation from Kingsley Field has been nothing less than magnificent," Mr. Wardell said. "A good number of the men from the Air Force base volunteer for nil of their off days and we had a standby volunteer list of 20 men from the base for the nine fires which broke out Saturday nighl and Sunday." Klamath County has had hotter weather, but not for 25 years or longer has it had total conditions so ripe for fire in Ihe woods. Odds W V.iuls By FLOYD L. WYNNE Found my personal lile some what cluttered lately, and think It probably a good time lo catch up. It's well to keep some things a secret, even from your wife, or perhaps I should say, particularly from your wile. However. If you're a prominent figure in Ihe com munity, you should at least make certain she either knows your cor rect age. or Ihe sue you've listed among your friends. In the case of Dunsmuir's May or J. Morgan Jones, his wile erred by one year in reporting his age to the Herald-News cor respondent, Peggy Walsh. We recently carried a "Siskiyou Sketchbook" account of the back ground of Mayor Jones, and listed C.-is.i-o'n 4'uhn In one aspect it proved accu rate. In 'another, at least open to doubt. Castro obviously came to power with his ultimate objectives only vaguely couched in his mind. The result is today's chaos. Laws or decrees have been promulgated at Castro's whim. Each is advertised as for the na lion's good, hut each has resulted in near or total dislocation of the area affected. Nearly half of Cuba's two-mil lion-man working force is jobless Rent reductions paralyzed the building field. The agrarian re form law brought almost total paralysis lo cane, tobacco and rice plantings. And so the list goes. Castro's own headstrong nature has shown in Ihe dismal, rhyth mic sound nf Cuban firing squads before whom nearly fion already have fallen, with more promised First victims were alleged Balis laites. To them now are added "counter - revolutionaries" and opponents of the agrarian reform law. Castro's own handpicked presi dent, Manuel Urrutia Lleo, found what could happen as result of criticizing Ihe regime. He was dismissed and accused of near- treason because he protested Ihe growing power of communism in Cuba. By PHIL NEWSOM UP!

That was the decision announced Monday by George Wardell, dis trict warden for Klamath Forest Protective Association. "People are being more rarelul than usual this year and for that we are grateful," he said, "but the woods become a hazardous place when lire danger is high and fires can travel so fast that the lives of campers and picnick ers may actually be in danger during this period.

The firms employ about 58.- onn production workers. The steel union represents about 30.500 of them. A strike would shut down about 50 per cent nf the country's aluminum production. The week-old strike in Ihe basic steel industry has idled a half miilinn workers and shut down about 90 per cent of Ihe nation's steel output. It has brought un employment to more than 40.000 workers in allied fields coal, trucking and railroads. Joseph P. Finncgan, head of the Federal Mediation Service, talked with both sides Monday but said he saw no early solution. More talks were set for today. McDonald said he would step into the aluminum talks perhaps today. The union strategy apparently is to try to win a wage increase in aluminum, then use this gain as a wedge to end the resistance of the steel companies to any in crease in labor costs. The Steelworkers seek the same annual 15-cent hourly waae in crease in aluminum that they seek in steel. Averace hourly wages in steel were $3.10 when Ihe strike heean. Aluminum wages range from $2.76 to $2.91 an hour. President Eisenhower held two meetings in Washington Monday to discuss the steel strike. Both were private. One was his daily hrielins on the situation by James P. Mitchell, secretary of labor The other was with the chairman ol the President's Council of Eco nomic Advisers.
