Aid Appeals
Show Decline
A sharp drop in welfare appli
cation's for June was noted by
the Salvation Army in their sum
mary report. They further noted
that of all the single men who
apply for aid, one-third of them
are repeaters.
Upon questioning some of the
5 transient men who have
passed through here, the report
states that many of them are tra
veling north to work in the fruit
areas.
Of the 316 applications received,
aid was given in the form of
meals, lodging, transportation,
clothing, shoes, furniture, blankets,
grocery orders and rent orders.
Including help for thre,e local families.
Other projects carried on by the
organization include working on
quilts and layettes, visiting hos
pitals, visiting patients and shut
Ins, mailing condolence cards, dis
tributing the War Cry and giving
gifts.

That was in W51. In 1952 he not
only won the steer wrestling cham
pionship of the world but he also
set a record for single season win
nings in the event that stood un
til 1956.
That year May came back to
break his own record to win his
second steer wrestling champion
ship.
Already a familiar figure In
Klamath Falls, May has often been
a contestant in past roundups here.
In 1956 he won the saddle bronc
riding and placed fourth in team
roping at the Klamath Basin cow
boy contest.
May, who stands 6'3" and tip;
the scale at 180 will compete in
four of the six contest events at
the rodeo here this year. He will
be up in steer wrestling, team
roping, bareback bronc riding and
saddle bronc riding.
Bob Robinson, Rockland,
Idaho, was rodeo's Rookie of the
Year in 1957. He joined the Rodeo
Cowboys Association at his first
professional rodeo on Labor Day
of that year. Less than two months
later he beat one of the toughest
fields of entries for the year to
win the steer wrestling and the all
around cowboy trophy at the
Grand National Rodeo in San Fran
cisco's Cow Palace.
A tough contender in three
events, Robinson will be up in
sleer wrestling and both bronc rid
ing events. He currently ranks
among the top 10 contenders for
the all around cowboy and saddle
bronc riding championships.
Over the Independence Holiday
weekend Robinson placed in both
the saddle bronc riding and bare
back riding at the St. Paul, Ore
gon, rodeo. Last week he placed
third on the bareback buckers at
the Calgary Stampede.
Charters, who hails from Melba,
Idaho, is the leading candidate for
top rookie honors this season.

Warm Waters Cooling Off

Tuesday.
Dr. Richard H. Flemming. ex

Oceanography Department, said:
"The general trend of ocean
waters in this area is a little
warmer than usual but consider
anly cooler than last year or the
year before.
Regardless of what some swim
mers might think, ocean waters
in the area have been several de

two years. A fact which account

southern waters.
warmer water still exists at the
depths. Dr. Flemming said, hut
has pretty well disappeared from
the surface. Tuesday's water tem
perature was 56 degrees compared
with the city's 87.
While Northwest waters ar
cooling off those off the California
coast are heating up. Dr. Flem

more vicious sharks in the area
which apparently relish the heated
waters.

225-lb. giant turned pro last August.
In his first full season of RCA

man to beat in both events.
GENEVA (AP) Life is grim,
life is earnest at the Big Four con
ference. But occasionally the stuf
fy, often tense sessions are light
ened by sudden shafts of wit that
pinpoint the rival East -West posi
tions better than thousands of
words of speeches.
A Western official was stressing
to a Soviet representative the need
for a "gentleman's agreement"
that the Soviet Union would not
seek to change the Allied position
in Beilin.
"Yes," the Soviet interrupted
testily, "but what is a 'gentle
man's agreement?' "
"Why, any gentleman will tell
you that, the westerner retort
ed.
Last week Jacob A. Malik, the
Soviet ambassador to Britain, was
chatting with British Foreign Sec
retary Selwyn Lloyd about the
slow progress the Big Four were
making toward new stopgap or
temporary arrangements in Ber
lin.
Suddenly Malik sang out, 'Ut's
a long, long way to temporary,"
and Lloyd dissolved into laughter.
After demanding that East and
West German delegates be allow
ed to join secret Big Four ses
sions, the Soviets Andrei Groin
yko relented last week. He agreed
they could he excluded from so
cial occassions."
He added: "just put a bottle of
whisky on the table and that'll
make our meetings social."
The other day the conference air
was full of reports ot interallied
differences. The French and West:
Germans were said to be at odds, j
The British reportedly opposed1
both. The Americans were trying;
to hold the Allied front.
One Soviet lounging with a group
of reporters discussing these dif
ferences, commented: "this is a
conference ot the Western Allies,
and we Russians are merely ob
servers." Then there's the story a U.S. re
porter told about I he time he was
strolling through the Moscow zoo.
The American said at the lion's
den he saw a banner announcing
a perfect example of the sort of
peaceful coexistence the Soviets
preach. Beside the lion in the cage
was a frolicking lamb.
The American said he asked the
zoo keeper how the Soviets train
ed the lion to lie down with the
lamb.
"We don't train them,'
ler explained. "We Just put a new
the kecp-Uamb in every day."
