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.

operator and asked that the call
be charged to their Vanport num

"f can't do it," the operator said
"Vanport's gone."
Almost in tears, the wife pled

Quickly deciding the issue, the
operator replied: "I'll place your

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.

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

said it was what he should have
So I guess maybe that's what
they're wearing now out in Minne

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

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

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

Disabled veterans, and widows

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.

Today is Jan. 1st, the first day
ol the year, with 365 more days
in lilOO. 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."

to take sides "in an election
year" in the Rose Bowl game be
tween Washington and Wisconsin,
but indicating he hopes Washing

"It is awfully discouraging to

AURORA, 111. - Mayor Paul

fire his police chief, calling for

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

YREKA Forest Supervisor C. A.

lions imposed by Regulation T-l on

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

On December 24 the state for
ester announced the state fire law

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. .

efforts to place responsibility up
on the administration for what he
called the shortcomings of exist

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

gram again Thursday, telling his
