Morse Sees
Demo Victory
GRANTS PASS (AP) - The
Democrats will win in 1960 if they
hold the human values backed by
the lale President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Sen. Wayne Morse (D
Ore) told a packed house here
Thursday night.
Morse landed Thursday morning
at Medlord, spoke Ihere at lunch
and then addressed the FDR
Memorial Dinner here that drew
more than 200. who could be seated
and many more who were turned
away.
The state's senior senator made
it clear he is out to win in Ore
gon s May presidential primary
as a favorite son candidate for
the I960 Democratic presidential
nomination.
"When Wayne Morse is pushed
into a fight I don't run away," he
told his audience. He said he had
nothing to do with putting his
name oh the ballot and did not
seek the favorite son role.
Morse warned his audience that
the Democrats will lose if they
turn reactionary and "try and out
reactionary the Republicans."
He called for federal aid to ed
ucation bolh for teacher support
and class room building. The Re
publicans, he contended, want
only federal aid for building class
rooms.
Turning to the talk by Soviet
Russian Premier Nikita Khrush
chev before the Senate Forcien
Relations Committee, Morse de
clared: "This is no ignorant
peasant. Then get it out of your
head if you think there is not a
high mentality in this man."
Morse described Khrushchev as
completely ruthless and amoral
but afraid of a nuclear war. He
said Khrushchev did not change
the opinions of any committee
members about the danger the
United Slates faces but "did con
vince us we are against able op
position."
Mayor E. D. Potts of Grants
Pass introduced Morse. C. J.
Driscoll, Democratic County
cnairman, presided at the dinner.
week, from 617 to 793 cases, the
disease still is "about at normal
seasonal levels," according lo the
health board.
None of the reports so far Indi
cates that the epidemic which has
struck an estimated half-million
persons in the Los Angeles area
the past few days has yet moved
into Oregon.
However. Dr. Richard H. Wrilcox,
state health officer, warned that
there is "a strong possibility" that
l.'ie disease could become epi
demic here within the next few
weeks. Flu outbreaks have been
noted recently in several other
parts of the country, and Dr. Wil
cox said the flu virus could be
transported quickly to all. parts of
Oregon by travelers.
(The U.S. Public Health Service
already has attributed several of
the outbreaks to Asian influenza,
the same disease given most of
the blame for Oregon's epidemic
of more than 47,000 cases two
years ago.)
Flu shots were recommended as
the best defense against the dis
ease and Dr. Wilcox especially
urged them for the very young
or old persons, pregnant women,
or persons already weakened by
some other illness.
One shot gives protection to
most older children and adults,
although the health officer recom
mended a second shot three to
four months after the first. The
immunity does not carry over
from one year to another, and the
shots do not become effective un
til 10-14 days after vaccination
Dr. Wilcox also recommended
maintenance of good personal
health habits, including plenty of
rest, a well-balanced diet, clcanli
ness, and avoidance of fatigue and
chilling.
Because influenza is dangerous
chiefly as a result of secondary
infections such as pneumonia, the
health officer urged that anyone
becoming ill with suspected flu
call a physician promptly.
Symptoms of Asian flu are the
same as those of other types. They
include sudden onset of illness,
often similar to a severe cold, fev.
er up to 104 degrees, chills, sore
throat, cough, and muscular aches
and pains.
Danger signals might include:
1.. A sudden rise in temperature
after the fourth or fifth day
2. Severe chest pain, especially
during deep breathing;
a. tougning wnicn Brings up a
great deal of yellowish or green
ish mucous material;
4. Heavy, deep difficult breath
ing;
5. Unusual drowsiness or stupor;
6. Excessive muscular pain and-
or stiff neck;
7. A sore throat not relieved by
aspirin or simple home remedies.
The state health board labora
tory has received "only a few"
specimens for flu examination dur
ing recent weeks; Dr. Wilcox said,
so it is considered possible many
of the Oregon cases being report
ed as influenza actually may be
some other disease. The next group
of tests is expected to be com
pleted by the laboratory early
next week.

Switzerland Works Hard,
Highly Industrial Nation
By NORM CARDOZA
The Swiss Alphorn, 15 feet Ion;
with a voice as commanding as a
steam calliope, sounded in an un
likely place Thursday night.
That was one of the numerous
native instruments played and
shown before a big audience of
Klamath Knife and Fork Club
members and guests in the Willard
Hotel by Toni Gauer of Switzerland.
The ungainly wooden horn is
tootled by; lonely, leather-lunged
cowherds high in the Alps. Gauer
said. The music is haunting and
lovely, though it sounds something
like a hound dog when the moon
is full. "It sounds best about five
miles away," Gauer added.
The Alphorn, which may only
be played in slow, lamenting tones,
is completely unlike' other instru
ments Gauer brought with him.
He demonstrated a number'of ac
cordion-like instruments with im
possible names. Swiss music is
mostly gay.
It reflects the happiness and se
curity the Swiss have found for
themselves.

five million people. The poorest of
them are rich by most European
standards, for the Swiss believe in
a welfare state as well as complete
freedom of enterprise.
Switzerland is a hard working,
highly industrialized nation. It is
best known for its cheese and fine
clockwork, but its biggest indus
try is the manufacture of heavy
machinery such as turbines, loco
motives and generators.
Watchmaking comes next, then
chemical manufacture. Its fourth
industry is banking and insurance.
Only England handles more of the
world's currency.
Incredibly since the nation has
no raw materials of its own no
coal, iron, oil, precious metals
its standard of living is the high
est in Europe and perhaps in the
world.
The country is laced with thous
ands of miles of electric rail'
roads and highways. Though rail
and bus travel is developed su
premely, many families own two
cars. Most have television sets
with hidden antennae to preserve
the view and the Swiss fetish for
cleanliness and neatness.) Most
families live in three- or four-
story homes, sometimes very old
but furnished with ultra 1 modern
conveniences. (The Swiss like to
combine the traditional with the
modern.) Slums are unknown in
the country. Switzerland's tele
phone system is the world's best.
Gauer mentioned these facets of
his country to dispel the popular
opinion that his people are mostly
cattlemen in silly costumes who
yodel from high peaks.
They preserve thousands of cus
toms and wear hundreds of native
costumes but only on special oc
casions. The paraphernalia is high'
ly symbolic.
Gauer's costume was nearly gar
ish with color. He tinkled with tra
ditional jewelry. His wife was
stunning in the most highly prized
outfit in a Swiss woman's ward
robe a rose-colored, gold inlayed
gown and a soaring, winged head
piece, all dazzling with color. -
Even formality is fun for the
Swiss. Those costumes seemed
much more interesting than the
sterile American formal dress.
Gauer advised tourists to get off
the standard tourist trails in his
country. With a little enterprise,
travelers may be treated to the
sound of real Swiss yodelcrs who
really are hording cows in the
high meadows. They can discover
for themselves the "real Switzer
land." He had a good word for the U.S.,
too. "Every country has to make
its own solutions. It is hard to
imagine all the things you have ac
complished in this country." Gauer
has made 30 trips coast io coast,
so he has seen more of it than
most of us.
Couple Loses;
Stork Wins
BLY Mr. and Mrs. Werner
Mcleher raced the stork to Lake
view Wednesday night and lost.
The Melchers left their home
here about 9:30 p.m. and stopped
at Quartz Mountain Inn at 10
o'clock when it became apparent
the stork was well ahead.
At 10:05, the proprietress of the
inn, a tormer nurse, delivered a
7 lb. 8 oz. baby girl.
A Lakeview doctor arrived in
the disaster car and the family
finished the trip to the hospital
at a more leisurely pace. All are

In communities which have re.
sponded to the need for Civil De.
fense, a number of organizations
lies taken the lead in projects
that are of value not only in po
sible war emergency, but in other
disasters that happen all too fre
quently and with little warning, it
was pointed out. Parent-Teacher
groups, Business and Professional
Women's clubs, rural and health
organizations and church groups
have carried on identification tag
health card, blood typing, registra
tion and inquiry programs. Rcpre.
sentatives of women's organiza
tions have taken the lead in these
important segments of the pro
gram.
The Klamalh County Women's
Civil Defense Committee is setting
up a two-way cemmunication plan
for the organization with request!
for information coining from the
clubs and the supplying of such
aid by the committee from the re
sources of federal and state Civil
Defense associations.
E. M. (JOE) SEARLES, Klam.
ath County Civil Defense director,
told the group that much material
is available just for the askim;
and there are many resource pen.
pie who may be called upon. Some
very good films may be obta:nd
on two weeks' notice, he added.
The cost, if any, of the project!
undertaken by the local committee
is to be met by the sponsoring
agents.
Continuing the orientation o(
committee members. Myrtle Cald
well reviewed "Emergency Sani
tation in the Home." Among the
sub-topics listed and explained
were storage of emergency wa
ter supply, purification methods
for contaminated water, and the
necessity for two weeks' reserve
food supply.
To complete the main program,
a film on radioactive fallout was
shown to develop understanding of
the nature of the menace which
would be widespread after a bomb
blast in varying degrees.
"Evacuation would be the plan
of action in target areas," Mrs.
Caldwell explained. "Projects for
follow-up shelters would be a ne
cessity outside the blast area."
The group will meet again on
February 9 at 2 p.m. Place of
meeting will be announced, accord
ing to Natalia Reichenberg, chairman.
