HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Mondav, Fphniary 1. IflfiO PAGE NTNE Oregonians Hear Butler SALEM (AP) - Democratic Rational Chairman Paul M. Butler f aid Saturday night that the Dem ocrats will nominate a presidential candidate who will insist that the United States be "a first-rate, first-place power, which is intent on winning the race for national survival." Butler addressed the closing dinner of the first Oregon Demo cratic Convention, at which 400 delegates from 27 counties spent two days to hammer out a plat form for its candidates. In his prepared address, Butler faid the Democratic candidate "will not pooh-pooh the idea of Russian economic gains. He will take the challenge seriously." Butler continued: "Unlike Re publicans, it will not be necessary for us Democrats to create a new image of our nominee and to worry about the unhappy memory of his blemished past. , "It will not be necessary for our nominee to dissociate himself from his party or suddenly, as election time draws near, to endorse pro grams and policies which hereto fore he has vigorously opposed." The Democratic nominee, he went on, will not be "rammed down the throat of the delegates by any old-guard or rear-guard dictation." E MAURITANIA' i.yViin5?5V0LTAIC wmyrms$mm? man ritici .

The Wave Of Nationalism Continues Across Africa lndipidiiit APNnrsttiluiesI I Unwilling Parent Resents Working For Builder j By TOM HEXSHAW t AP Xewsfeatures Writer The map of Africa, once a patch work of colonial claims and rival ries, underwent another one of those quiet revolutionary changes January 1. The Camcroons, a one-time Ger man colony, later a French man date, became the seventh African state since World War II to gain complete independence. At least two more are scheduled to achieve the goal later in the year. No where has the postwar na tionalism bug bitten more deeply than on the African continent, where pagan rites of superstition vie for attention with ultra mod ern cities. AT THE END of World War 11 there were only four states on the Dark Continent (hat could be called independent Egypt, Liberia, Ethi opia and South Africa. Since the war, the growing rolls of freedom have expanded to in clude Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, dnnea, GhanI, Sudan and the Ciimeroons. In addition, there are the 12 autonomous republics that make up the French community with close economic tics with France. They are Mauritania. Senegal, Su dan Republic, Voltaic Republic, Ivory Coast, Dahomey, Niger. Chad, Central African Republic, Congo. Gabon and the Malagasy Republic. The British colony of Nigeria is bought a can of oil. It was now getting late. The thing was put together, but I don't think anybody's four - year - old daughter would play with it for more than 15 minutes without hav- ng it in pieces. My friend came over with heavy - duty pliers and he took it apart again and assemlbed the nuts and saw to the' pladement of the wheels. The little red wagon is now hap pily pulling a load of rocks, blocks, toy soldiers and a cat named Pep per. It works beautifully. But I figure this toy company owes me $10.9479 cents for pliers, 15 cents for oil, and $10 tfigured conservatively) for two hours of my time. I do not count the cost NEW YORK (NEA)-Now that the season of good will toward men is behind us, it is fitting to tell you about the ill will I bear toward one toy manufacturer. 1 I do not know anybody at this company. They may all be charm ing people. And my ill will is not personal; they are merely the last straw. These people make wagons. May be they make other things, too, but it was a little toy red wagon that first brought us together. I bought it for my four-year-old daughter for Christmas. The lady who sold it to me happily took my money and said she would send it. It came. In a flat box. And so said to myself, looking at this flat box, "If those lazy good-for-nothings have sent this knocked down, I'm going to sue." Those lazy good-for-nothings had, indeed, shipped the tiny little red wagon knocked down. I opened it. Out came the wagon, four wheels. two axles, a handle, a bunch of nuts and bolls and a mimeographed sheet of directions. Well, of course, I didn't sue. It was three days before Christmas, and four-year-old daughters would not be very happy if they were told that their Christmas present ASKS MORE AIR TRAFFIC WASHINGTON (UPI) Trans World Airlines told the Civil Aer onautics Board hearing Friday it is entitled to a larger share of round-the-world air traffic which It estimated at 37,000 passengers a year by 1962. of gasoline for two trips to the hardware store, of the phone calls to my friend's house, of the ban dage for my finger. And I am sending them a bill for $10.94. I have been threatening to bill somebody for making me do their work for years. I acted, after all, as a sub-contractor for the company. Without me, they wouldn't have made a wagon. This is America and people who work for other people get paid. OK, you wagon company fork over the. $10.94. And maybe you and the other lazy industrialists had better turn out a finished pro duct, or everybody else will start billing you for doing your work. Assemblers of the world, unite! AID FOR COMMUTERS WASHINGTON (UPD - Chair man Warren G. Magnuson ID Wash.) of the Senate Commerce Committee introduced legislation Friday to make it more difficult for railroads to discontinue pas senger routes. Magnuson acted after gover nors, mayors and others com plained to him that the 1958 Transportation Act giving rail roads greater freedom to end un picfitable lines "left the door wide open for discontinuance of service."

I got no overtime, no pension plan, no insurance,-and (he only fringe benefit accruing to me was a small cut on my right index finger.

I am more of a have-it-doner. My tool chest consists of a hammer, screw driver and a friend down the block. He was out. So I had to run out and buy a pair of pliers to com press the retainer nut. Further down, the directions said: "Assemlbe rear axle brace and rear channel to body." Figur ing they meant "assemble" and not "Assemlbe." I proceeded. It didn't fit. Maybe they meant as semlbe after all. Later on it said: "Oil axle prior to pladement of wheels." I had no pladement oil. By this time, my friend was home. He safd he fig ured they probably meant "place ment of wheels." I went out and OSBORN HOTEL EUGENE, ORE. Mrt, J. E. Eerier Joe Eirlejr Jr. Proprietor!

MERIT'S C0IN-0-MATIC LAUNDRY "The Biggest Washday Bargain In Town" New Bell System Operating Unit comes to Pacific Northwest PACIFIC TELEPHONE-NORTHWEST born to better serve the growing needs of a growing land o vir the years we've learned that "community of interest" has a special meaning where good telephone service is concerned. That's why so many geographically unified areas of the country have their own telephone companies within the Bell System. These locally managed, separate companies, we've found, not only better understand their communities and customers, but can be more flexible to their needs, They participate in com munity affairs more helpfully, and enjoy closer relations with employees. We've all watched the rapid growth of Washington, Oregon and Northern Idaho. As they have grown, and as their horizons expand, the job of keepings telephone service in step has pointed clearly to a separate telephone organization. The time has come. Pacific .Telephone-Northwest is a reality; an independent operating unit of Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company ; with its own presi dent and a management staff whose concern will be the Pacific Northwest and its needs. Pacific Telephone -Northwest will be staffed, equipped, and operated within the Bell System as a separate company as far as practicable. Most work now done for this region at Pacific Telephone in San Francisco will be transferred gradually to the Pacific Northwest. Walter Straley, President of the new unit, with head quarters at Seattle, will also maintain an office in Portland. Key members of the Pacific Northwest management team will be Ben E. Bowl ing, Vice President and General Manager for Washington-Idaho ; and Francis M. Mitchell, Vice President an3 General Manager for Oregon. Each has had more than thirty years of Bell Telephone service in his area. They will work closely with Walter Straley in initiating policy and making decisions based upon first-hand familiarity with local situations. This is another forward step to make your telephone a more useful servant, and the company that brings it to you a more helpful member of our Pacific Northwest community.
