These outside sales go to fast talking specially salesmen who call on business firms with a dem onstrator piece of carbon paper in one hand and a hook of "free" coupons in the oilier, sometimes Ihcy sell the coupons on the spot; other salesmen leave the coupons and the firm is billed when the coupons are sent in with orders. There are dozens of brands ol typewriter ribbons on the market. '1'ypowritcr companies usually rec ommend their own ribbons which have been thoroughly lasted for he machines they make. Most ol these companies have coupon of lers, but they are made through the local retail outlets. The Klamath Falls retailers are the only ones ottering complete and prompt service right here in town. Maybe typewriter ribbons arc an insignificant thing, but it is one more place where we can keep our local dollars at home, working for the economic growth of our own community. cake in which water, ground corn meal and buttermilk are among the ingredients. If the pancakes sometimes turn out to be a bit rubbery, you can bet a million there's not a word of complaint from the guests When a President of the United Slates does the cooking, one simply dues not knock the groceries. People sometimes wonder whether in playing golf with Ei senhower, his partners ever con sciously try to let the President win. Another term lor mis is "customer golf." There may have been some rather silly tactics like this in the past, but woe be tide the golfer who purposely dubs shot and the President finds out about it. The President wants his oppo nents to play their best possible game because that is what he's doing. In fact, when playing with a top flight prolcssional, Eisen hower gets as much of a kick out of watching the smooth perform ance of the pro as he does out of playing, himself. ; If that trip is too much and too far you might consider the Natch ez Pilgrimage from February 27 through March 30 in Natchez, Mis sissippi. This affair wil offer tours ol some 30 ante bcllum homes with such lovely names as The Elms, Longwood, Bonttira, Elmscourt, Hope Farm, Melrose, Linden, The Briers, Green Leaves, Hawthorne, The Parsonage, Mount Repose, Hollie Hedges, The Burn, Airlie, ; Mistletoe and Lansdowne to men tion, a few. Headquarters, out of all these lovely names, will be at the Elks Club. Evening entertainment will be offered in the form of the Confed erate Pageant four nighls a week and Highway To Heaven, a pro gram of Negro spirituals the other three nights. The whole shooting match will set you back $20 for the 30-housc tour. Or you can take the economy type tour for only $4 for a look see at five houses. Re our snowstorm of yesterday. 'Talking to Francis Brown the oth er day anr' he recalled that in r.103 there was a six foot fall of snow on the first of March. I think those dates are correct. That would be more snow than we have seen around these parts for many a long year. That was a storm yesterday? Leaks By FLORENCE JENKINS Typewriter ribbon cloth is a separate category in the gray oods market. It appears this country imported more typewriter ribbon cloth in 1159 than was made in the United Stales during the year. Some mills have requested a U.S. Tariff Com mission investigation and hearings are slated for .April 20. according to Daily News Record's primary market report last week. "Some persons . identified with typewriter ribbon fabric business have been agitating lor a long lime for U.S. government action because mills here have been losing out to lower-priced competition from overseas," the trade paper re ports. The 1959 rate on imports equals about 81 per cent of total domestic production in 1955, about 95 per cent of the 195B production, about 105 per cent of 1957 production. 117 per cent of 1958 production and about 114 per cent of 1959 produc tion, it is claimed. American pro duction of typewriter ribbon cloth has declined in the period 1955 through 1958 by 30 per cent. Dol lar saics nave gone on 42 per cent and yardage sales by 38 per cent. Typewriter ribbons sound like a minuscule segment of business. A rough survey of retail sales fources here indicated that approx imately 3.6O0 new typewriter rib bons are sold in Klamath Falls each year. The price of quality rib- bens ranges generally from $1.23 to $2.75 per ribbon. No local firms specialize only in fypewritor ribbons and carbons The two ifems go along with other items in service and sales stores handling business machines. The survey pointed up one as founding fact. The local retailers sell only about half of the total number of typewriter ribbons and boxes of carbon paper which arc purchased by Klamath Falls firms. In other words, the local stores ire losing the profit they would Hand Thanks Klamath Falls (To the Editor) The Klamath Union High School marching band would like to lake this opportunity to thank all those individuals, organizations and busi nessmen in the Klamath Falls area who so generously contributed to our East-West trip fund. Without the support that was given, the band would have been unable to take advantage of this most worth while trip. The band was housed at the Whitcomb Hotel, which was found o be very comfortable and con veniently located to the downtown area. Meals were eaten in the hotel dining room. Both evenings spent in the metropolitan city were free" and the students enjoyed choosing their own forms of entertainment. The students were exceptionally well behaved and gained a great deal from the trip both education ally as well as from the three-day association with their fellow stu dents. The band members feel that this was one of their most success ful trips and received many com pliments on their performance at the game. Mike Stilwcll, band presi dent Nancy Young, band secretary. The President spent last week end in Washington, much to the gratification of those who must travel with him when he leaves town and he's been away a good bit these last few months. At any rate, when the word was passed that Eisenhower would slay in town over the week end, this anonymous notice ap peared on the White House press room bulletin board: "Don't forget your immuniza lion shots for Washington. All the signs are that we will be here lor a long weekend. Don't forget your water purifying tablets and dysentery pills." One of the weary travel crew saw the notice and observed, "bitterness will get you nowhere only to South America." The President will be leaving lor South America Feb. 22 and reports from advance agents anticipate enormous crowds as in India and Spain last December.

I assume that somewhere out there in the vast bureaucracy, someone has charge of taking the stamps as they come in and drop ping them into a shoe box, as we do at our house. Someday, that someone pre sumably will have to take them all out, lick them and stick them in stamp books. This is a job I do not envy. The glue on trading stamps tastes no better than the glue on postage stamps. The news that Uncle Sam was saving trading stamps, even as you and I, emerged last year from the General Services Admin istration, the federal "housekeep ing" agency. Housewifely, the agency advised all other government bureaus to hold on to any stamps they col lected, pending further instruc structions. Huwevcr, the instruc tions haven't been issued yet. The government is still trying to work out with Ihe trading stamp companies a plan for dis posing of the stamps without ex changing them for merchandise. Otherwise, it would have a sec ondary problem of how to dispose of the merchandise. There also is a question ol whether the value of the stamps SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal VOO KlJCW.

S NOW y m I nLk J ,v U Mif ..v is worth the paperwork they en tail. II the government doesn't mind my muting in, i think l can solve the problem. The thing to do is to keep the stamps until some foreign potentate, say the king of Saudi Arabia, comes here on a state visit. The visitor is almost certain to have a surprise gift a pearl- handle sword or a silver incense burner for President Eisenhower. He will feel hurt if Ike has nothing for him. Okay, all Ike has to do is keep his guest in a conversation while someone grabs up a batch of the stamps and runs down to the stamp store. I imagine any des ert monarch would be delighted by a new electric blender, toaster or roaster, or even a charcoal grill for cookouts on the sand dunes. Although the government is not keeping count of the number of stamps it collects, I learned that most of them are acquired with the purchase of gasoline for gov ernment vehicles. Well, sir, the government owns more than 200,000 autos ana trucks which are driven an av erage of 10,000 miles a year. The way I figure it, this represents a potential income of about 900,000 stamps a week enough to fill 600 books. At this rale, the government every year could exchange stamps for 5,200 electric razors; or 15, 500 table cloths, or 7,800 floor lamps, or 6,240 play pens or 2,236 vacuum cleaners. Or, better yet. it could save Ihem up for 1,923 years and have enough to get every tax payer a new billfold.

By RELMAN MORIX CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Under currents of sentiment for New York's Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller are still running in New Hamp shire today. How deep and strong they may be is difficult to gauge since Rockefeller is not a candidate in the state's primary election March Vice President Richard M. Nixon is running unopposed on the Republican side of the ballot. However 1. The organization formed for Rockefeller is still intact. It be came inactive after he announced, last Dec. 26, that he would not try for the GOP nomination for president. "We're keeping our powder dry and wailing to see what will happen," says State Rep. Robert S. Monahan, one of the original leaders of the pro- Rockefeller movement. 2. They declined Gov. Wesley Powell's invitation to join the Nixon camp after Rockefeller's announcement in December. 3. Two men and a woman have filed for election as delegates "favorable" to Rockefeller. An other man is expected to enter the lists in the next few days. The four express varying degrees of optimism about their chances for election. 4. No movement to organize a write-in vote for Rockefeller has developed. However, it is general ly expected that voters will in scribe his name on the presiden tial preference side of the ballot, known as the "beauty contest." How many? That's the big question. You hear of communities where pro- Rockefeller sentiment is reported still strong. However, observers do not believe the feeling extends over the state as a whole. 5. The Greater Concord Cham ber of Commerce invited attorney Robert P. Bass, a founder of the Rockefeller movement, to speak at a "meet-the-candidates" break fast Wednesday. He accepted, stressed Rockefeller's qualifica tions, and quoted Nixon's state ment, after Rockefeller withdrew that the New York governor "is destined for continued leader ship." In short, Ihe Rockefeller people remain hopeful that, somehow, a ground swell will get underway. The hope seems slim. Nixon s backers 23 have filed for elec tion as delegates favorable to him include most of the GOP political powerhouses in New Hampshire and Nixon's name is formally on the ballot while Rockefeller's is not. But Rockefeller backers point to Nixon himself as proof that write-ins sometimes work won ders. Nixon drew a stunning total of 23.000 write-in votes in New Hampshire four years ago at a time when there was talk of dumping him from the GOP ticket. Rockefeller's name will be listed under those of delegate candidates seeking election as "favorable' to him. Under state law, the candi dates were able to file as "favor able" without the governor's sanc tion and he was powerless to pre- Girl Kills Boy; Faces Life Term SAVANNAH, GA.

The three who have already done so are Dr. A. John Lacail laide, Laconia optometrist; David D. Hewitt, publisher of a weekly newspaper in Hanover, and Miss Mary Koromilas of Dover. A fourth, S.

They gave the same two rea sons, generally, for advocatins Rockefeller s nomination "The people of New Hampshire should be given the right to choose" be tween him and Nixon, and be cause of Rockefeller's experience and his qualifications. Gov. Powell said the main ob jective of the Nixon backers is to get out the vote so that Sen. John F. Kennedy, of Massachusetts, the principal Democratic candidate, will not be able to "close the gap" between himself and Nixon. Strictly speaking, ' Nixon and Kennedy are not in direct compe tition in the primary. In the coming primary, Demo crats and Republicans can only vote for candidates and delegates of their respective parties. The GOP vote is usually about Vk times greater than the Democratic vote. In 1956, for example. President Eisenhower received 56,464 votes in the Republican "beauty con test ' to Sen. Esles Kefauver's 21,701 on the Democratic side. Both ran unopposed. To enhance Kennedy's prestige nationally, the Democrats are working hard to close that 2'4-to-l gap." The Republicans are work ing equally hard to get out the Republican vote so as to widen it. "We would like to see a greater turnout for Nixon this year than there was for Eisenhower in 1956," said Gov. Powell. "It will consti tute a great vote of confidence in Nixon." Powell said he believes Nixon will get more votes than Eisen hower did in the last election. He declined to estimate the total. He said he expects Kennedy to pull around 40,000 votes, nearly double the total Ketauver received in 1956. K ' DICK CARROLL, son of Mr. and Mrs, Floyd Carroll, Tule lake, is home on a 30-day leave.
