TU 4-4752 Tin Vallir By BILL JENKINS Well, about time lor the old weather roundup asain. Just the monthly look backwards to see if we remembered it as accurately as we claim we do. According to the little black book the first of August, 1958, was hot and clear. I record a high of 87 and a low of 61 for the day. The next couple of days cooled off a little with highs of 7!) and 75 and a night that dropped to 58. August 5 and 6 were hot and clear. Note in the book that there were lots of deer and rabbits in the country. On the eighth I spent most of the day touring around the country with Don Baldwin lookiifg over some of the SCS work. It was hot, a high of 83 but wet enough out at an c.xperi mental plot of grass on the Miller Island public shooting ground that we got stuck in the mud and spent considerable time digging out The next day I apparently made a loop up through Dairy Creek, over to Paisley and home by Lake view. Hot with a high of 88 and a low of 60 August 10 fell on Sunday, 1 think, and was one of the hottest days of the month with a reading of 89 and a low of 60. Still clear although we were having a lot of dry lightning storms around the country. On August 12 I got out in the dust again on an agricultural tour of the north end where the group watched the J-M woods op eralion. looked in on some of Jack McAuliffe's pastures and some test plots. That trip arranged, I think, by Gene Gross, , The weather stayed on warm but I got rained on, it says in the book, over at Mill Creek while on the Modoc Tribe ride. Temperatures during this period were in the mid 80's. Came home on August 17 and drove through a pounding rain storm from Alturas to Henley. I remember it because the windshield swipes on my pickup jammed on and I -couldn't turn 'em off at just the moment that I hit a heck of a bug hatch. The resultant 'smear on the windshield was a real mess before I could get stopped, out of traffic and try to clean up the mess, It was cloudy on the 18th but warmed up later to a high of 77 On August 19 we had a bad rain storm around five in the afternoon accompanied by a real whizzer of a lightning storm over the lake One bolt struck a condeaser hind our house, filled the air with the smell of burned air (if there is such a thing), set a small fire in the house next door and scared us all out of year's growth. ; The following day I was up at Deadhorse Lake where it rained a little. High for the day was 76 with a low of 51. . August 21 was cloudy. So was I. The hot water heater in the base ment blew up and started feeding Us live steam. August 22 was hot with a high of 83. The next day It was 87 and on Sunday the 24th It hit 89 again. Sluyed hot for several days and I note in the log that "the mos quitoes are terrible." (The mosqui toes arc terrible around our place now, too.) On August 28th John Henderson and I had to make a trip to Rose burg. Went over via Crater Lake and back by way of the North Umpqua. Cloudy all the way ex ccpt for some hot, clear weather In Roseburg. Almost chilly up around Tokatce.'The high for the day was 78 with a low of 49, August 29 had a touch of Fall with a high of only 69 and a low of 49 but it warmed up again and by the last day of the month it was registering 85 with a low of 53. And that, it says in the book, is how the weather went on this month last year. IVnino Coeiicki By FLOYD L. WYNNE The name contest lor the King sley Field homes resulted in more than 700 entries being received. It will probably be next week bclora a final winner in the con test Is decided. However, it was a pleasure to join with three other committee members in going over the tre mendous list of name suggestions. There were a lot of good ones, and the final judges will certainly have their work cut out for them selecting just the right name. But that wasn't what concerned me most. While opening the contest letters and postcards, we found about a dozen of them were written by ob viously the same person. All were sharply critical of the Air Force for running the contest. It's Important that we clarily that point. The Air Force Is not running the contest, nor is it putting up ny money toward the prize being Entered as second class matter at the post ollice at Klamath Falls. Ore., on August 20. 1906, under act of Congress. March 8. 1879 SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Serving Southern Orrgon And Northern California awarded. The fabulous Holiday Hotel in Reno is olfering the prize of an all expenses paid weekend for two purely for promotional value re ceived. The contest, while originally dis cussed by the Base-Community Council is actually a Chamber of Commerce promotion. It was needed since we could not go on indefinitely referring to the Kingsley Homes as the King sley Housing Annex. I don't know what name will be chosen, but it ill be better than that, I'm sure One other point deserves clarifi cation, also. The homes were built because of the need for having certain air men and officers within a few min utes time of Kingsley Field. When an alert sounds those planes must get into the air. These officers .and airmen are ordinarily furnished subsistence, that is housing, or rent for same, and in the case of being furnished homes in the Housing Annex, their subsistence is in turn applied on the housing. The end result appears to be that the government will eventually pay for the homes over a 20 year pe riod by applying subsistence rates against the cost. And ... the biggest, most im portant point to all loyal Amer icans is that our nation's defens cs are lcrt, ready to protect our nomes against any invaaer. America is the richest target in the world today, and any pirate, whether international or not, al ways tries for the biggest prize. Personally, I salute the men, and their families, who are making sacrifices to be sure that our de fenses, yours and mine, are ade quately manned. Hawaii By FLORENCE JENKINS The new state of Hawaii, led by its sugar industry, has started a campaign designed to dramatize the importance of a healthy two- way economy between the 50th strte and the Pacific Northwest, Last year, Hawaii bought more than $60 million worth M f acme Northwest products. Approximate ly $35.7 million moved through Pu- get Sound's ports and another $24.4 through Oregon coast and Colum bia River outlets. Du.'ing 1958, 104,101 tons of Ha waiian products, headed by 50,904 tons of molasses and 12,310 tons of C and H refined sugar, arrived bc-;through Pacific Northwest ports This in-bound cargo amounted to $26.5 million Heading the campaign to tell the Pacilic Northwest about Hawaii's industry is the organization which, cooperatively, markets all of the Islands sugar production. Thau film, C and H Sugar, has brought Miss Hawaii of 1959, Patricia Vis- scr, to the mainland to help in the cftort. The promotion offers 50 707- jet trips to Hawaii in cooperation with Pan American World Airways Hawaiians depend primarily on sugar, their number one crop, for economic stability. Hawaii's annu al harvest amounts to a gross re turn of $146 million for raw sugar and blackstrap molasses. The crop is produced on 27 plantations and amounts to one-fourth of all sugar produced on American soil. In spending the sugar money. Hawaiians have favored the Paci fic Northwest. They purchased last year more than $3 million worth of Washington-grown and produced feed, grain and flour. Of the 51 million board feet of lumber shipped from the Pacific North west, more than 39 million board leet came through Oregon coastal ports. Contrary to popular belief, tour ism still ranks third behind sugar and pineapple as a revenue-producer for Hawaii. G. T. Alexander, regional freight manager for Alexander & Bald win. Ltd., Matson Line agent, Stat- SHORT RIBS TAB .7 --"t- MM- ed that the import-export figures certainly disprove a common be lief that Hawaii is just a place where mainlanders go to - dump money on Waikiki Beach with no return to continental United States. Islanders require many products produced in the Pacific Northwest and the ultimate end is a well- balance trade relationship between this area and the 50th state." i ' About l'IVlianf s By NELSON REED Stories in the papers lately about the attempts to duplicate Hanni bal s feat of getting elephants across the Alps brought back ele phant memories such as afflict minds like ours that are not al ways elephantine. To wit, we recall sitting in an economics class at college, fresh man year, when that subject was still considered sound, reciting a paragraph from our text book in chorus with other nitwits, much to the annoyance of our professor who had written the book. It went thusly: "Even the slow breeding elephant with a period of gestation of over two years, and giving birth to but one young at a time, would, were it not for the vicissitudes of climate and natural habitat, overrun the earth." At the time the year was about 20 B.F.D.R. (before Franklin) that was probably true. Not any more. Today ,we would subsidize the elephant to make him produce faster and frequenter. Then we would buy up the surplus elephants and send them to the underprivi leged Esquimaux (no elephants). There, no doubt, when the ele phants had succumbed to the frig id climate as did their hairy an cestors, the mastodons, and had been properly iced for 100 years, they would become the staple diet of the Esquimaux. Whereupon they would no doubt become preferred to fresh walrus and seal meat and whale blubber, so we would have to buy up all the surplus seals, walrus and whales and send them to the un derprivileged in darkest Africa, so they would stop eating elephants and so . But why go on? The old eco nomics our professor tried to teach us just aren't any good anymore. MHiiiire Sisters By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) - The Mc Guire sisters started singing in an Ohio church choir just 25 years. ago. The beanpole-slender youngsters of 1934 now are the highest paid girl trio in show business today, and perhaps of all time. The one thing most people want to know about them particularly people who come from large fam iliesis how they settle" theirj quarrels. The answer is simple. They settle their disputes the same way the U.S. Congress does by ma jority rule. "Our policy is that if two agree on anything the other has to give in." said Phyllis, who acts as spokesman for the girls, although she has the least seniority. "We generally manage to keep out of each other's hair. But occasionally we do have argu ments. When we do we speak our piece, take a vote and forget it. "But we try to avoid the friction that might come from being to gether too much. On the road we stay in separate rooms, and meet just before the show." As in any household, each of the sisters has her own chores. Chris, the eldest, picks the ward robe. Dorothy, whom the others refer to as "the normal one." handles the props.. She also acted as family treasurer until the trio hired a business manager. They have recorded nearly 300 songs. Teen-age polls rate them the top trio.

They started out at $210 a week. This year, one soft drink firm alone is paying them $250,000 plus all the soda they can swallow for a year's supply of TV and radio commercials. They also spend some 20 weeks a year on the supper club circuit. Their smash success hasn't turned any of the girls' heads. Here is their reaction to it: Dorothy "You're public proper ty. You have no privacy. Your life is not your own." Phyllis "You can't take back ward steps, but success has proved more than I bargained for. I've learned that success is get ting what you want, but happiness is wanting what you get. But right now I'm still riding on cloud No. 9 -- and looking for flying saucers." Chris "Success is something you strive to get, but when you get it you don't have it. It has you." The McGuire sisters have one thing that sets them apart from most entertainers. They pay 10 per cent of their income to an agent but they also just as reg ularly give another 10 per cent to the church in whose choir they first sang together as children a quarter of a century ago. Mosquito! Ouch! Klamath Falls (To the Editor) Being tortured at the moment by stinging welts from mosquito bites, f would like, to add my voice to the rally requested by Mrs. N. T. Hanson when she wrote regarding the problem of insect abatement in Klamath Falls. Our experience, too, has been one of indifferent responses from those authorities we would expect to be interested in the mosquito menace. Breeding grounds in this area seem to be the so-called drain age ditches for irrigation water. Piles of debris and deliberate stoppages on the part of some properly owners cause the ditches to become stagnant pools. We were informed by the K I D. office that "it's your responsibility and your worry." . Is there some way to inject this indifferent, disinterested attitude into the mosquitoes?

The red-headed sheriff, standing about 6 feet, 3 inches, but now down to about 250 pounds, was called when Mrs. Evelyn Lang Cheraldo balked at the appear ance of a county fencing crew. The crew, Britton said, wanted to fence off a path through Mrs. Cheraldo's property to a rock quarry on the Sprague River, be t w e e n Chiloquin and town of Sprague River. The Cheraldo ranch is on the site of an old CCC camp. Mrs. Cheraldo refused to allow the intruders in, Britton said, so he went up to settle matters. The county has a right-of-way easement through the property, and the crew wanted to fence off the right of way to keep cattle from wandering off. Cattle had wandered off before. Once, in October 1954, Mrs. Cher aldo blocked a crew from leav ing her ranch because cattle were leaving as well. Britton mediated that dispute, too, he said. Britton said he had a talk with all concerned and a copy of the easement in his pocket and the affair ended amicably. The largest refrigerating plant In the world is in Buenos Aires, Ar gentina.
