By BILL JENKINS We'll he Johnny-on-the-spot this lime and get the old weather report for last year off our chest right off the bat. I note in the little black bonk that the entry for January 1, 19.VJ, reads: Cleared off at midnight last night. Nice clear morning with a little frost on the ground. Took dogs to ton of hill on old Lake of the Woods road and found two inches of snow there. Saw a nice buck. Lovely day here all day. No snow on ground, no ice in lake. The temperature ranged from a low of n hi"h tit 41 The next clay it snowed olf and on all day but didn't stick. On Jan 3 the lake froze over lightly. It was a dear cold day and 1 found three inch.es of snow at Aspen Lake when I went up there early in the morning. No snow on ground in town. Jan. 4 for a while was clear then cloudy. Drove across state line road and found lots of ducks and geese, mostly pintails. Snow started about rr.id afternoon and by the morning ol the fifth there was four inches on the ground. It snowed a little that day, wet and not sticking. On the seventh I note thai the Fnow was going fast. Went hunting down the river with the game wardens and limited out on little ducks. The next two days were cloudy and windy and the snow was going fast. On Jan. 10 I stayed home, it must have been a Sun day, or a Saturday, and raked the lawn. No snow of course. The following day it rained a lit tic. I went hunting with my Dad and we got one lonely greenhead On Jan. 12 it was cloudy and wet. No snow in sight from town and no ice in the lake. The grass, I noted in the book, was starting to show signs of green on the south slopes. On the 11th I drove to Portland and found no snow or rain on the way except for a little road side stuff on the Willamette. Bare pavement. Came back the next day on a warm and pleasant day with the thermometer reading 45 at the top and only 22 at the bottom. , The next two days were warm and pleasant. On the Will, which was a Sunday, I hiked for several miles through the woods and lound m snow. Remarked that "it was almost too warm for walking in comfort." The high for the day was 45. It was 25 that night. Jan. 19 saw a north wind blow ing in a few snow flurries and it was colder, about 37 and 18. On Jan. 21 I went to Portland again via Mount Hood and found only an inch of snow on the rood. Rain in Portland. Home the following day via Willamette and found it dry pnd warm all the way with a iiigh of 45 again and a low of 28. Two worm clear days and then 6 warm a 1 rainy day on the 24th. Jan. 25 was described as a' mis- r crable day with rain and snow all day. It rained hard the following day and the temperature got up to 42. On the 27th we had a rainy and snow filled day with about three inches of snow in the eve ning. The next day I drove to Portland again, I was sure travel ing last year, and found snow all the way la the tunnel with ice underneath. Home the next day through snow to Williumson River but found it clearing in the Basin. The 30th was clear and icy. January ended last year w ith a rice day that was sunny and cool A high of 42 and a low of 22. She explained to the long distance operator and asked that the call be charged to their Vanport num her. "f can't do it," the operator said "Vanport's gone." Almost in tears, the wife pled with the operator. , y Quickly deciding the issue, the operator replied: "I'll place your call and, if necessary, we'll charge it to Fate. Nearly every person has his own instance for which he is grateful to one or more of the legion of long distance telephone operators. They are as the right hand to the wire services and the newspapers And so, appropriately, today we wish them all a Happy New Year, By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)-Practically everyone needs consolation on New Year's Day. Practically everyone feels a mixture of sadness and gladness and maybe a brown taste in the mouth, too, if lie did too much wassailing the night before. At such a time you can best find comlort in the sages of the ages. Arc you worried because you lon't see how you can ever pay ail your leftover Christmas bills Well, cheer up. In 1U50 James Howells observed, "Debt is better than death." In 1533 Rabelais wrote, "The Lord forbid that I should be out of debt, as if, indeed, I could not be trusted." And there is an old Spanish proverb to the effect, "Debts are like children: the smaller they are the more noise they make." Are you annoyed with yourself because you stayed too late at a New Year's Eve party, and was the last guest to go? Brace up, buddy. Remember this fine Nor wegian proverb: "A hero is one who knows how to hang on one minute longer." Do you have a king-size, non- filterable hangover that nothing seems to cure? Don't give up hope. An Italian proverb counsels. "There is a remedy for every thing except a broken neck." In 1W)5 Charles Cotton wrote, A night of good drinking is worth a year's thinking." And a fine old Scot proverb pioclaims, "They that drink longest live langpst." Has your wile been bawling you out? Don't let her get you down. friend. Recall the truth of what John Davics pointed out in 1802, "There never was a wife that liked her lot." Or what Stanislaus Leszcynski. King of Poland, said in 1703, "Have the courage to listen to her when you should not. If you have the strength, you might even fight back by remind ing your hausfrau what William Shakespeare said about a wife's duty: "I will attend my husband, bo his nurse, diet his sickness for it is my office." It is entirely normal to be a bit upset on this day. As Charles Lamb said, "Nu one ever regard ed the first of January with indif ference. It is the nativity of our common Adam. Happy new ycarl I'siMMlg IIPI'IM'K By FLORENCE JENKINS Among the service categories in business, long distance telephone operators rank right up there in the top bracket in our estimation. As a matter of course, every day they perform almost unbeliev able feats. And always with com plete courtesy and unassuming ef ficiency. In emergencies, the long distance operators perform with amazing speed and accuracy. Amazing un derstates the facts. We recall the Memorial Day flood at Vanport when thousands of persons lost their homes and all their possessions when the Co lumbia River nearly wiped out what was then Oregon's second largest city. A reporter working that Sunday in 1948 at the Journal in Portland was deeply concerned about his wife and two small children. He thought they were still at home in Vanport when the water broke loose. They had started in the car y forenoon, however, to visit his wife's sister at Mc.Minnville. On the way, the Sunday music on the ear radio was interrupted with the newscast bulletin of the flood. . . Wishing to reassure her husband. the wife stopped at a store to tele phone him their whereabouts and fuur.d she had no change in her ,Vurse. it. from a tailor back home who said it was what he should have So I guess maybe that's what they're wearing now out in Minne seta. On one of the narrow lapel which these suits feature Humph rey had broken out a big jeweled pin for the occasion in the shape of an II; however, his aides wore plain old campaign buttons, with HUH on them. It seems he has only one homburg, and he said it was already a little soiled Otherwise, I guess Humphrey qualified all right. He came out for jobs for everybody, an expand ing economy (with stable prices) and a "full share" of prosperity tor people like farmers, workers and old folks, he was against di sense, poverty, hunger and illiter acy. And he possibly picked up sup port from some of the plain re porters present by showing up lor his press conference precisely at 10 o'clock, the hour for which he had called it. But, to show you how hazardous politics is, this gesture carried no favor at all with one veteran political writer who acted on the assumption Humphrey would follow local ciis lorn and make an impressive on trance, with sideboys, at along about 10:01). NcvcrthclL-t'i Hie hearing room of the Senate Appropriations Com iritlee was packed, disproving the old journalism school maxim that news is an account of the unexpected. If there was anybody present who expected Humphrey to say he wasn't running, I didn't see him, But there were certain aspects f his announcement that we had n't looked for. One was that he didn't open up with a speech. He just had a helper hand around a mimeogrupnea statement, m which he said why he had decided o run. Then he said he would try o answer our questions. Now few senators are'known for their brevity. Sen. Humphrey is known for once having talked eight hours to Khrushchev. And it is said he once protested to a radio reporter who proposed to tane a two - minute . interview "Why I can't say hello in less thtn a half hour. IIUtMlllllM'V By FRANK "KLEAZER . WASHINGTON (UP1 For an avowed plain man's candidate for President, Sen. Hubert H. Humph rey (D-Minn.) these days looks mighty sharp. He turned up for his formal announcement attired n a new dark blue continental suit with cutis on the coat sleeves. A fellow I know in the suit and clonk- game said he doesn't or dinarily otter these models to peo ple like senators. He said they're more tor the younger fellows. switching over from the tight pants Ivy League look. Humphrey assured me though ho bought his, and another one like ly after meal or snack: latter to hunger, especially in the person with ulcer symptoms. Drug stimulation from doses of thyroid, appetite killers, nose drops, caffeinated beverages or at coholic drinks like brandy that olten produces initial drowsiness and later excitation. In hospital practice, from late reaction to drugs of the morphine series. Exposure to industrial stimuli while on the job. Especially lead, mercury, tetraethyl lead (garage employes and men at filling stations). Restlessness or cramps of leg muscles. Sometimes relieved by wearing long woolen under-gar-incuts, stockings or bed socks. And tinally, if you are a doc tor, worrying about all of the fore going. Vois Mail Etas' By HAROLD T. HYMAN, M.D. Written for NEA Service) In a previous column, I wrote that you should hesitate to take sleeping pills. . ' As in dealing with all other mcdi cal problems, prime goals in the relief of sleeplessness are discov ery of the cause, and elimination or neutralization of that cause. Here are some of the commoner causes for sleeplessness which any observant and intelligent person can get rid of: Overheating or excessive Mill ing of the bedroom. Poor ventilation of the bed room Willi resultant stuffiness of the nose. Undue light or noise. If not preventable, lessened by use of eyeshadc or ear plugs. Excessively hard or excessive ly soft mattress. In the latter case, corrected by bedboard between spring and mattress. Too many or too few pillows. Former cause backache and neck strain; latter, difficult breathing, especially if nose is stuffy. -Too many or too few bed clothes. Former results in perspir ation and later chilling when cov erings are kicked off; latter, chil liness preventing relaxation. Too much or too little activity before retiring. Former may be due to stimulation of exciting mov ie, TV program, card game or con versation: latter to listless, boring evening during which you drowsed or even napped. -Fullness or emptiness of stom ach. Former due to retiring short- Disabled veterans, and widows ind children of deceased veterans who receive monthly nonservice- connected pension payments from the Veterans Administration are urged by the VA to return prompt ly the properly filled-in tabulating card which has been sent them for use in reporting their annual income. Cards have been sent to 878,000 veterans and 520,000 veterans' de pendents who are receiving pen sions from the VA. Pension recipients are allowed 30 days, or until the close of January, l!Ki0, to return the card with the ntormation. Those without depend ents whose income is greater than $1400 a year or those with depend ents whose income is greater than $2700 a year may not receive a pension under present law. Failure to return the reporting card within 30 days will result in he stopping of the monthly pen sion payment. The VA also pointed out two im portant facts: Veterans and dependents receiv ing service-connected compensation payments will not receive cards and do not have to report incomes. This income questionnaire has nothing to do with the new pen sion law which goes into effect July 1, 1900. All pension recipients will receive further information on the new law in the mail during March. The questionnaire being distrib uted now must be. returned to in suie that monthly payments will not be interrupted.

This is New Year's Day. The moon is approaching its first quarter. The morning star is Venus. On this day in history: In 1735, Paul Revere was born. In 1752, Betsy Ross, the woman who sewed the first American flag, was born. In 1863, President Lincoln sign ed the Emancipation Proclamation. In 1863, the Homestead Act of the United States went into ef fect. In 1902, the first Rose Bowl foot ball game was played at Pasa dena, California. In l';H6, American humorist W. C. Fields died. In 1952, anti-British riots broke out in the Suez Canal Zone. In 1958, revolutionary leader Fi de! Castro took over Cuba. A thought for today: It was W. C. Fields who said, "It ain't a fit night out for man or beast." I WANT TC VlliHVCOAHAPPy NElJNEAR!

Nixon, declining to take sides "in an election year" in the Rose Bowl game be tween Washington and Wisconsin, but indicating he hopes Washing ton will win: "It is awfully discouraging to walk into the Senate after New Year's Day and listen to the gloating of senators from the Big Ten states." AURORA, 111. - Mayor Paul Egan, persisting in his battle to fire his police chief, calling for help against "open insurrection" after lie broke into the police chief's office and was thrown out by policemen: "This is open revolution in Au rora. It's worse than anything that ever happened in Russia." AUGUSTA, Ga. Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers, recommend ing that "payola" be made a fed eral crime and urging federal regulatory agencies to crack down on hoaxes like rigged TV quiz shows: "Industry attempts to clean house should be applauded, but it is unlikely that such attempts will be successful unless the ap propriate regulatory agencies. . . exercise their powers directly and promptly." WASHINGTON (AP) The Ei senhower administration will take the offensive in meeting attacks ol Democrats this election year on its farm policies. It will say, in effect, that the GOP administration's policies can not be blamed for most of the farm surplus and income prob lems now facing farmers and the nation. It will argue the blame must be put on the Democrats, A preview of the Republican campaign strategy was given by Dr. Don Paarlberg, special assist ant to President Eisenhower for economic affairs, in a talk earlier this week before the American Farm Economic Assn. A former assistant to Secretary ol Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, the presidential assistant told the convention "The farm price-support and production-control legis lation now on the statute books does not represent the administra tion's farm policy. "Practically all present farm! legislation regarding price sup ports and production control were rittcn by the party now in the majority (in Congress). Continued existence of this legislation is tol erated and condoned by the ma jority party, which has the power to cnange it." Paarlberg went on to say that Americans read 122 pounds of newspapers and magazines last year, says the American Paper and Pulp Assn. Fire Rules Removed YREKA Forest Supervisor C. A. Yates of the Klamath National For est announced today that restrict lions imposed by Regulation T-l on the use of fire on national forest lands were removed effective De cember 29. Fire Control Officer Ralph James states the 193-J fire season has been one of the longest on record but that rain and snow during the post week have reduced fire dan ger to the point where burning per mits are no longer necessary for burning debris. On December 24 the state for ester announced the state fire law cquiring burning permits, extend ed on December 1 due to the ex treme burning conditions in Cali fornia, has been dropped. Forestry officials point out that burning may now be done without permits but that normal precau- ci'ins during windy or dry periods should be taken. . Mexico City, with a population of 4'i million, is the second larg est city in the Western Hemisphere. efforts to place responsibility up on the administration for what he called the shortcomings of exist ing legislation "is certainly a par tisan effort, and an unwarranted one." The presidential aide said many of the administration's recommen dations "have been resisted by the Congress, particularly those hav ing to do with price support lev els and production control poli cies." Benson spoke out for the pro gram again Thursday, telling his news conference "if there's a bet ter farm program than that of the Eisenhower administration, I'd like to see it trotted out."
