It would seem that not every

world of ours.
Had occasion to use the word
genocide the oilier day but wasn't
exactly sure of the connotation. So
tried to look it up.
It wasn't contained in any of
the dictionaries in the office, in
cluding the 2000-plus page 1!I55
edition of Webster's word book.
We tried all the encyclopedias
we could find and still couldn't
unearth the term.
I know that it means an effort

ably coined during World War II
when Hitler was doing his best to

But you still can't find it in any

Right pretty birds they arc, too,

Walt is right. There are a lot of
iiiose rigs in use in our country
particularly during the fishing and
hunting seasons. After our own
recent tragedy of not too long ago
it would certainly be well to check
and make sure.
Walt says he still hopes to be

In answer to a query from me

in the same category as a car
title. But the annual license must
be carried and displayed.
The licenses, when issued, will
lie on water repellent paper. In
future years the hoard hopes to is

Wool I'ool

The Klamath Basin Wool Pool
has seen its membership triple in
less than five years. Starting with
fewer than 50 men who raised
farm flocks, the group now num
bers nearly 150 members.
By pooling the fleeces raised in
the Klamath Basin, it has been
possible to realize a belter price
for the wool. Selling through a
group is especially important to

There is also going on a search
for ideas for a possible booth in
the Klamath Home Show which is
only five or six weeks away.
Millions of dollars are spent an
nually on promotion of man-made
fibers. Special emphasis seems to
be on the drip-dry quality of gar
ments made from these synthetics
and the fact that they require lit
tle or no ironing. Wool, a natural
fiber, can point to comfort, soft
ness, durability and many other
advantages not achieved by the
test-tube materials.
At the same time, the people
who are raising larger farm flocks
in the Klamath Basin every year
are interested in the increased
sale of lamb and mutton. The
growers are becoming interested
in breeding for meat type sheep of
higher quality.
There's a lot to be said for eat

climate won't produce papayas in
abundance, but we grow the finest
meat and potatoes in the country
and there is no better food.
Flu Ughicr Side
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (UPII - If you
took a guided tour of the U. S.
Capitol last week, you may have
seen a seedy character with the
furtive air of a pickpocket sidle up
to your group.
Since 1 was the party acting so
suspiciously, I want to explain
that I was not bent on any light-
fingered exercise designed to sep
arate some tourist from his wallet.
1 was merely eavesdropping on
:he guide to sec if 1 could catch
him making any partisan com
ments. This detective work was brought
en by a bill introduced by Rep.
Charles IS. Chamberlain IR-Mich.)
tc create a Irec capitol guide
service. It now costs 25 cents for
a guided tour.
Chamberlain's bill also would
provide for the immediate dismis
al of any guide who spoke in
praise or censure of any person
during one of the tours.
This seemed to imply that the
guides may have been making
slurring remarks about members
of Congress or about the historic
personages whose statues stand
in the halls. It caused some mis
understandings. Chamberlain said his main ob
jective was to eliminate the tour
fee. If the government can af
ford to issue "free bulletins about
the love life of bullfrogs," he rea
soned, it should he to treat
everyone to a guided tour.
But, he said, lie wu., -dug pic
tured as "an autocrat who would
place a censorship on what is
said about Will Rogers and Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt, Davey Croc
kett and those three marble ladies
who sit in a tublike arrangement
in one of the lower corridors of
the Capitol."
. Denying that he was any "witch
renter of Capitol guides," the
Congressman said he only sought
"to protect both political parties
from prejudicial opinions."
Determined to see for myself
what was going on, I plunked
down a quarter for a ticket and
went along on one of the tours.
Our group drewguide No. 26, a
greying lady with a schoolteacher
ish manner.
We - started out in one of the
lrwer corridors in front of the
three marble ladies mentioned by
Chamberlain. Our guide identified
them as suffragettes Susan B
Anthony, I.ucretia Molt and Eliza
beth Cady Stanton. They were in
a tublikc arrangement because the
sculptor died before finishing the
statue, leaving just their heads
slicking out of the marble block.
This guide was the epitome of
SHORT RIBS
Ht
SOMETIMES
. I 1 THINK 1
HERALD AND
impartiality. Checking further, I
trailed around after some of the
oilier guides, surreptitiously listen
ing to their spiels.
The upshot was the same ex
cept that 1 made a discovery
which could render Chamberlain's
Dili unnecessary. I found that if
you work it right, you can make
the tour without paying anyway.
All you have to do is stand
aside and pretend to be inspect
ing the ceiling when the guide
collects tickets at the House and
Senate chambers. You won't miss
anything. You can get a pass from
your Congressman to go inside
later.

NEW YORK (AP - Mister
you'd better buy a couple of new
white shirts and tell your missus
to get herself a new gown.
Whether 19K0 is a record boom
year or not moneywise, it is
bound to be the celcbratingest
year, culturally speaking, there
ever was.
America has a tradition of pro
claiming and observing special oc
casions. It is a custom that goes
back to the Pilgrims and their
first Thanksgiving Day.
Now every year we find more
and more things to celebrate.
This year, according to Chases'
Calendar of Annual Events, there
arc sonic 650 holidays and special
occasions of all kinds to observe,
or nearly twice as many as in
1959.
The tradition is getting a bit
out of hand. For example, if you
and your wife conscientiously and
consecutively celebrated all the
special days, . weeks and months
now on the 1960 promotion cal
endar, you'd be making nonstop
whoopee for 13 years, 6 months
and 5 days.
Among the newcomers this year
are National Barefoot Freedom
Week, International Carillon Day,
and National Mayonnaise and Sal
ad Week.
Here arc a few choice items:
It is too late to blow whistles
and ring bells for Save-lhe-Pun
week, Big Brother Week and
Large I Economy) Size Week
They are already over. But you
are now in National Guitar Week;
National .Winter Golf Week won
der if President Ike has been told;
and next Tuesday your wife might
want to give a cheer for the start
of National Fur Care Week.
February is full of goodies, in
cluding National Sickroom Needs
Month, Good Breakfasts Month,
National Children's Dental Health
Week, and National Pimento
Week. And don't overlook Weight
Watchers Week, National Pencil
Week and Bachelor's Day on Feb.
29.
March is Buttermilk Bread
Month. It also has Return-Bor-
rowed-Books Week, National Pea
nut Week, Irish Linen Week, and
National Smile Week. Don't forget
on March 21 to say a kind word
to any teen-agers you meet, for
that is National Tcen-Agers' Day.
April is National Ladder .Month.
National Rug Cleaning Month, and
National Wallpaper Month and
contains Lct's-All-Play-Ball Week
Here, picked at random, are a
few other events you and your
wife surely won't want to miss:
May National Ornamental Iron
Month and National Raisin Week
plus National Domestic Rabbit
Week.
June Baking Soda Bath Season
begins. Old Maids' Day is on
June 4.
July National Hot Dog Month

While House IVoies
By MERRIMAN SMITH
UPI White House Reporter
WASHINGTON (UPIi - Back
stairs at the White House:
Give or take a few hours,
President Eisenhower has precise
ly one year left in the White
House, and during that year he
can be relied upon to make many
more trips of the type he made
last week to Albany, Ga.
Eisenhower now accepts the jet
age and intends to live in it. He
sped from Washington to south
west Georgia in less time than
it takes him to motor from the
White House to his farm in
Gettysburg.
His government 707 jet transport
puts good weather within close
reach of Washington when meas
ured in flying time, and the
President is not expected to spend
too many weekends cooped up by
bad weather.
The clue to Eisenhower's hunt
ing trip to the Georgia estate of
W. Alton Jones was available
well in advance, but few people
recognized it as such. The week
end before he flew south, the
President was out on his skeet
range in Gettysburg, sharpening
up his shooting eye.
He rarely uses the skect range
unless he plans to do some hunt
ing or wants to try out a new
gun. In this case, it was both
because he brought back several
inviting gift guns from Europe.
Could it be a sign of world
conditions? Frequently, at weekly
intervals, an official of the Central
Intelligence Agency comes to the
White House for a highly secret
briefing on hot spots around the
globe for the benefit of ranking
members of the President's staff.
This is in addition to the daily
situation report for the President
from CIA and the CIA reviews
before the National Security Coun
cil.
The President very much dis
likes the pigeons that on occasion
dirty up his glistening clean barn
roof in Gettysburg. He's been
known to take out after them
with his shotgun.
Now, he's after birds of another.
feather starlings at the White
House.
The parks service has been try
ing out a new anti-starling spray.
It worked with some success on
the South Grounds of the White
House where the trees were
drenched with the new potion.
Recently the North Grounds
were sprayed and what hap
pencdj The starlings moved
across the street to the old State
Department building.
So. the spray program had to
be widened to include the trees
around Old State and therein lies
a new problem: The spray appar
ently has run most of the pesky
birds away from the White House,
but to where? Next door.
The park people, to be fair
about the whole thing, may hav
to end up spraying an awful lot
of downtown real estate. By the
time they reach the suburbs, the
spray at the White House will be
worn off the trees, the starlings
will be back and the process
will have to start all over again.
Seems sort of hopeless.

Income Tax Facts
Filiior's Note: This is one in a
series of articles on federal in
rnmp lax filing. These articles are
based on information provided by
the American institute ot Lerunea
Public Accounts and the Southern
Oregon Society of Certified Pub
lic Accountants in cooperation with
the Internal Revenue service.
PLANNING CONTRIBUTIONS
FOR TAX SAVINGS
Charitable contributions are a
major source of income tax de
duction. The federal income tax
w encourages charitable giving
by allowing you to deduct 20 per
cent and in some cases 30 per cent
of your income for this purpose.
To gain the maximum tax bone-
it, you should plan your contribu
tions carefully.
The effect of a charitable de
duction is that each dollar you
give actually only costs you from
9 cents to 80 cents depending on
your income tax bracket. The rea
son for this is that if you didn't
give the dollar to a charity it
would be taxable at a rate of
lorn 20 per cent to 91 per cent
The higher your tax bracket, the
cheaper it is for you to give.
Most of your charitable contribu
tions are deductible within cer
tain limitations. Generally, you
can deduct contributions up to 20
per cent of your adjusted gross
income for gifts to any non-profit
groups organized in the United
States and operated exclusively for
religious, charitable, literary or
educational purposes. However, an
extra 10 per cent is permitted for
gifts to churches, non-profit schools
or hospitals and certain medical
research organizations. Any
amounts of such gifts which are
over the 10 per cent limit can be
counted as part of the 20 per cent
limitation.
Although contributions to the po
litical "party of your choice" are
necessary and laudable, they can
not be deducted on your income
tax return.
Those "loans" you are always
giving your brother-in-law may
seem like charity, but as your
wile pointed out, "He's too proud
to accept charity." The Internal
Revenue Service will go along with
your wife. You can't deduct contri
butions to relatives or even friends.
However, you can contribute to an
organization through a friend. In
this situation, the friend is acting
as your agent.
Your charitable contributions do

not have to be made in money.
You can give land, clothing, books,
lurniture, and so on. The
amount you deduct as a contribu
tion is the fair market value of
the gift at the time it was given.
For example, say you have a
piece of land that you bought for
$1,500. You give the piece ot land
to a church, but, at the time -of
giving, the land was appraised at
$2,000. You get a deduction of
the full" $2.000-and you do not
nave to pay any tax on the in
crease in the value of the property
Of course, this also works in re
verse. For example, you have
some furniture that you donate to
a charity. The furniture is no long
er worth what you paid for it ten
years ago. You can only deduct
the fair market value of the furni
ture at the time it was given.
That is, the amount of money you
could have received for the furni
ture had you been selling it rath
er than giving it.
Each year, many health tele
thons are conducted around the
country. People "pledge" donations
over the telephone or by tele
gram, and then mail in their
checks. In this way, the chari
ties conducting the telethons can
get an estimate of the amount be
ing contributed while they are still
on the air. Some of these prom
ises-to-pay never materialize into
cash, or are pledged in one year
and not paid until the following
year. You can claim a contribu
tion in only the year it is actual
ly given.
You can only take advantage of
itemizing your charitable contribu-
lions if you file on Form 1040 or
the new Form 1040W. You cannot
itemize any deductions on the card
Form 1040A.
The instruction booklet you re
ceive from the Internal Revenue
Service together with your income
tax forms has additional informa
tion on charitable deductions, and
lists the types of organizations that
y'ou can give to, to gain a deduc
tion. Eight signers of the Declaration
of Independence were born in
Great Britain.
