To dale most of the ftad work has been confined to the ly and suburban iOca and in finishing up the Wcstside bypass route. But now it would appear that wo are pretty well cleaned up as Jar as major highway work is concerned. I am speaking ol stfie and Icderal highway projects, not the local situation. Perhaps this is a good time fin start lookup again at a brand new highway leading from the Klamath Basin to the ocean. e dream thatias been held for a lot of years $y residcnts-up here. After mulling the whole thing over it would seem that the idc,t route for such 4 highway would 1 down the Klamath Wver. fol lowing the river to a large de gree except where caioon condi tions make road building a virtual ' impossibility. Such a road gould give direct access to the broad reaches of the Pacific shore whereas now we have to detour wcarv miles to north or south in order to achieve" that goal. " Such a road would also olfcr splendid scenic values. As pro jectcd by the dreamers of today the road would follow roughly the line of the old Topsy Grade, a lot of the work having been done in the rouSh already, would then find a course across the moun tains somewhere below liornbrook and come out around Klamath or Requa somewhere. This would be just north of Redwood State Park and not too far south of Crescent City. It would wind through beautiful country, would afford river and mountain scenery at the north ern or eastern end of the road and the valley vistas at the south ern 9r western end. It would give up a line to the coast that could be accomplished, in perhaps hall the time It takes to get to the coast now. the nation and comes highly rec iimmpnHpH. Th? KUHS board has accepted the initial move into t IT field with decided reservation, but i grad ually being enmeshed in the same tentacles of government control and demands that has caught oth crs who have accepted the easy-to- gct matching funds. At iy rate, a portion of the old auditorium has been refashioned into guidance offices. INSTRUCTION supplies for these dfices in the current budg et will total $850. Replacement the capital outlay for the depart ment was SWil. This was tut to $307, with the deleted items to be included in requests for matching lunds froci the government. The two items included were $55 for two small 2-lcttor size filing cabi nets and $252 for a visible card (fie on student schedules. The card file was needed so that the guidance teachers didn't have In so across the hall In the nrinri pal's ollice to find outhcre any particular student was. At present the guidance program is set up for jlKl students per guid ance teacher or counselor. Al ready, Hie federal government has indicated IJit this ratio must be dropped to one for every 400 stu dents within three years. And nobody seems to know what other requirements might be as sessed on the program later. UUtics of the counselors, as I un derstand" it, include conferences with the student.vfo assist them in choosing their course of study and following their progress through school. In addition to the scenic value Ihe route would offer a good deal else. Almost everyone likes to get away from his hoie scenery for a Ul tie while. Up here in the des ert wc like to go down to the sea level area where we can breathe salt air, get our shoes full of sand walking on the beaches, listen to the roar of the surf at night and watch the endless rolling of the combers as they batter the beach es. At the other end of Ihe loop arc the watcr-sodden people who like to get aay fromthcir misty realm of oAan splendor and come up here to Uic pine scented plateaus where thn$ can walk on dry earth, listen to tho .vind in the trees, sec blue lakes and lis ten to the merry burble of fast water creeks. If such a highway were built it would tend to funnel a lot of peo ple over this ftiy where they could talijo advantage of our es tablished summer resorts, visit Crater Lake, use their boats on Upper Klamath Lake and other wise enjoy our couniry and hos polity without, making a major undertaking out of it. It would also give them an op portunity 'to spend a lew dollars lure lor the necessities of lite. Not that such a road is an im mediate prospect. But it is cer tainly a probable polentialnd the sooner we cot to thinking so- rioiftly about it the soWr it will become a reality. AS I A1D, the ;oard docs not appear to be sojd on the idea, and I can't honestly say that I am either. However, I'm probably old-fash ioned and still envision a teacher student relationship that existed when I went to high school. There were no supervisors and there were no guidance or counse lors. We had one teacher designated as a home room teacher, and oc casionally when necessary we met as a home room. Any problems wc took up through our home room teacher Certainly that was old-fashioned, and we only had a high school of between 1,000 and 1,200 for three grades, 10th through 12lh. Somehow, it seems the so-called advantages of the intricate world have climbed into the teaching structure and began to come forth in such terms as supervisors and counselors. I'm not saying thiJ isn't a good move, it's just that I don't know, and Jm not certain that the school authorities do either. One thing certain, this new trend will bear watching. filing to make sure that all re- to negotiate with its hands tied quired W-2s are attached, that names and addresses have been legibly entered, that any check at tached lor taxes still owed is made out properly to the Inteal Reve nuc Service andaorrecliy signed and that all papers comprisOg the complete return are placed in an envelope addressed to the District Director of the Internal Revenue Service.

The culprit in this expansion ap pears to be the recently enacted National Defence Education Act, and the old bugaboo that has opened a new avenue of federal socialism . . , matching federal monies. AS I UNDERSTOOD IT, Ihe high school received an impassioned plea from those in charge of ad ministering these matching monies asking them to submit request for a guidance system so that they could allocate the money before they might lose it by turning it back. The guidance system, I am told, is being placed into effect in schools throughout the stale and over their mathematics very care- lully, to make sure the names oSUnitcd States annually takes more Do As I Say By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Edilo? The amazing thing about the Fidel Castro regime is that he breaks most of the rules, and con- inues to get away with it. 'me answer seems to lie in the fact that business and some gov ernments, including Ihe United Stales, Ifave become disillusioned bout their ability to get along with the bearded revolutionary but the bulk of the Cuban peo ple have not. No matter that the Cifban Na tional Bank is under direction "of man with no experience in fi nance and who is more used to balancing a rifle than a checkbook. No matter thaf foreign invest ment is being cut to zero. Mo matter that sugar cane Holds lie idle; And no matter that the vaunt ed agreement to sell five million tons of sugar to the Soviet Union may cost the Cubans more to produce than titty possibly can realize from the sale. The Cuban peasant may not fully understand the slogan "Cuba for the Cubans but he likes the soundt of it. He also likes the sound of gov ernment-supplied housing and the gift of land. It hasn't all come about, but he believes it will. The Cuban treasury never has been his concern and isn't now. Two recent events are illustrB- live of the workings' of the Castro regime. But have an effect on the United States. One was Castro's ttack on for eign investments in Cuba in which the U.S. stake is nearly a pinion aouar and the an nouncement that foreign private lunds henceforth would have to be invested as the government sees fit. It was the death knell for new foreign investments in Cuba and must inevitably slow the advance ment which Castro so ardently proclaims for the Cuban people. But it fits the revolutionary pat tern which was anticipated when the national bank was taken over by leftist Erecslo (Che) Guevara In similar vein was the 'Cuban governments recent bald an nouncement it would be willing to negotiate its differcnceswith the United Mates but only on grounds of a U.S. pledge that it mean while would take no action dam nging to Cuba's economy.

When the United States refused SHOtfT RIBS By Frank O'Neal o aH I I THAT wnttiMR Y (wm and he FAimeDiy IMllKIj Lighter Sidt By DICK JA'EST ' WASHINGTON (UPI) - Who is that ventriloquist with the life- size dummies? That is no ventriloquist; that': Charlie Walkins, the Senate par liamentarian. And those aren't dummies; they're senators. I don't suppose anyone ever ac tually mistook the parliamentari an for a ventriloquist. fitny drew this parallel because Watkins spends his time puling words into As to whether anyone ever ac wally mistook a senator for dummy. . .well, that is another matter. If you've ever visited the Sen- ale chamber, you may have ivo ticed a tall, slim, elderly man seated at a long desk in front of the rostrum. That would be Wat- kins. If senator on the floor hap pened to address the chair, you likely saw Watkins lean back to wafd to o rostrum. Then you heard the presiding offrSBn-Bepiy, If you looked closely enough, you mayehave seen Watkins' lips moving. He was telling the pre siding officer what to say. Although Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon is president of the Senate, he rarely occupies the chair. During the day-to-day rou tine, this job is turned over to junior members of the Senate; who take turns presiding. You may find this hard to be lieve, in view of the talkative na ture of senators, but when they get in the chak most of them won't open their mouths until they get the word from Watkins 1 sought an interview with the parliamentarian after it occurred tq me that he must be especially hard hit by the cumoit filibuster? He has only himself and one as sistant to stretch over round-the- clock sessions. "How are you holding up?' asked when Watkins found a lull in the proceedings and was able to join me in a conference room just off the Senate Jloor. Actually," he said, "I'm gel- ting more sleep than I did last week. I work 12 hours, from nine in the morning till nine at night Then I go home and forget abtful this. 1 1 suppose there are "still a few people left in America who work a 12-hour day. But how many tf them, like Watkins, are 80 years old? He is truly the iron man of the Senate, having been around in one capacity or another since 1904. He has held the parliamentarian's job ever since it 9us created in 1935. . " During that time, his interpre tations of Senate rules have sel dom been challenged and rarely over-ridden. Along the way, he has compiled a list of precedents that now totals 20 volumes. I asked Walkins if he knew of any senator who could preside on his own without gumming up the works. Watkins, who is nothing il not discreet, begged off answer- ng. But I got Ihe idea he would be hard pressed lo name one.
