And well it might be. On the surface it might appear to be nothing more than another childish attempt on the part of the practitioners of the political art to parlay the (roubles of others into a big win for themselves. But 1 can see something a good deal deeper than that in the whole mess. Perhaps I am viewing with undue alarm. Perhaps I am mere ly crying wolf. But the circum stances are very suspicious. Look at it in its logical order First the "scandal" broke over Van Dorcn and the question ol whelhcr winners of large cash awards on quiz programs on tele vision were given inside informa tion. As soon as the story was blown to proper proportions the politicians got into Ihe act and promptly suggested legislation to curb such corrupt practices, iwno, 1 still want to know, was being corrupted?) The boys got into it cautiously at first, but as the public continued to gulp down the juicy morsels Willi ardor they warmed up to their subject and the halls of con- gross echoed Willi mighty threats, That "scandal" iwho was scan dalized?) wasn't even allowed to grow decently cold before the law makers leveled a blast at radio over the so-called payola. An nouncers, Ihey said, were actually taking favors, even money, in re turn lor which they played the donor's newest he-bop or rock 'n' roll record. This, obviously, was corrupting the public morals and must be stopped. (With music in the state it is in today how in the world can one record more or less corrupt anyone any further than he has already been corrupted?) Again the halls of congress re verberated to tho thundered pledges of the politicians to stop this aw ful mockery of American morals. Frantic calls went out from the lawmakers for I heir public rela tions men and publicity agents. Give me something juicy, boys We've got 'cm on the run and we'll shut 'cm up for good this time." That "investigation" is still go ing on. Now the air is full of veiled threats to the press (Ihe newspa pers) that wc are next in line Have we ever accepted a drink from a publicity man who was try ing to get a story about his prod uct in the paper? Is it true that you had dinner at the home of an advertiser? Did you actually play golf wilh the district attorney? Oh horrors. Oh scandal. Oh dearl Well, as I say, maybe I'm just seeing trouble where trouble ain't But to me the whole thing falls into far too neat a pattern not to have some pretty careful plan ning behind it. What would the politicians like better than anything else? What would give '.hem tho final strangle hold on the public? What would offer them sanctuary no matter what trouble they got into? What would the supreme King's-X he" Why, control of Ihe press, radio and television, of course. And how can they get this con trol? Simple. A little law here, a lit tie law there and pretty soon Ihe people's richt to know is nothing but a mockery. When that day comes you know, and I'll know just what the politicians want us to know. No more. You think it couldn't happen here? Just take a look at some of the things that congress has "investigated" lately. Final thought: Do all these poll ticians who are mi.sing such n fuss refuse campaign contribu tions? Or, if they accept them, do they pledse that they will spit in Ihe eye of Ihe donor after they are elected? I'll bet! amount of money involved, but un dcrstood it totaled several thou sand dollars. A new course in German appar cntly is being added during the coming year, and, as I mentioned, there is talk ol adding a course in Hussian. Here, as in almost every other class, we were told that the classes were constantly expanding and the demand growing so that new classes would have to be started during the coming year. THE BUDflET for foreign lan guages included just $150 for in structional supplies: a $336 item for maintenance, replacement and repair was slashed to just $5 and that was to rcbind a Spanish dic tionary. However, capital outlay totaled $250 and another item in capital outlay provided $681 for remodel ing another room for foreign lan guages, including doors, lighting, etc. Sunday, which honors fathers The Klamath County Cow Belles women's auxiliary of the Klamath County t'altlemen's Association is in its eighth year and this is its second poster contest. The theme is, of course. Beef For Fathers Day, and entries will be judged on appropriateness to the theme, em phasis on the attractiveness, de sirability and nutritive qualities of beef and on originality. Approximately two dcrncn entries were submitted in Ihe first poster contest held .by the Cow Belles and a great many more arc ex pected this year. There are no set rules on size, color, etc., but since the aim is to use them lor win dow displays, sizes appropriate for! such display are advisable. Art posters can be paste-ups, crayon, water color or pen and ink sketches. The theme, Beef For Fa thers Day, should appear on the poster. The contest is announced early this year, Mrs. Johnson points out, n order that the prizes may be awarded before those last extra- busy weeks in the school year. ItiidgH ' ( .1) By FLOYD L. WYNNE ONE OF THE Bt'DC.ETS I dis cussed was that of foreign lan guages with Helen Hoffman. I find the same trend here as in (he guidance program. The federal government has moved inlo the picture and is pushing for more and more for eign languages. Already new classes In German are being planned, and there is talk of courses in Russian. These can be added to French, Spanish, Latin and others now being taught. Also, modernization has moved into the program wilh the use of tape recorders, etc. ' FEDERAL MATCHING MONIES again made their appearance in this department for such items as THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT appeared to be in excellent hands. Wendell (Smith gave us a good rundown on present instruction. His budget included $201 lor in structional supplies, a inaintcn ancc, replacement and repair budget of $31)0 which included $250 to trade-in a tape recorder used in radio classes for a new one. Capital outlay for English was reduced from $1,575 to $700. Items eliminated included $450 for an other tape recorder for the radio class, and $180 lo provide a tape recorder for an English class. Al location for dictionaries was re duced from $216.75 to $150 and an item of $20.50 for a dictionary stand was eliminated. IN ADDITION lo their regular budgets, both the English and the foreign language departments had asked for the addition of one new leather. The two would amount to about $11,000. English reported its average class load as 28 pupils, and lan guages said theirs was 30. - MY GENERAL IMPRESSION was that while Ihe English Depart mcnt was being well handled and apparently in line with its impor tance in Ihe overall curriculum foreign lunguages were being em phasized slightly beyond their im portance, and a need was apparent for careful continued control over this department to prevent its bal looning beyond (he immediate needs of Ihe high school level. Careful attention is also needed by the KUIIS hoard to prevent the lederal matching, money require ments from expanding this depart ment beyond our needs, also. By FLORENCE JENKINS The Klamath County Cow Belles have announced an art poster con test to promote the annual Reef For Fathers Day observance which is part of the area, state and na tional Cow Belle work during the year aimed at increasing the con sumption of beef. Letters have been mailed to the art departments of all Klamath County high schools, inviting cu llies from all high school students in Ihe county. Deadline for turning in entries has been set as May 1, according lo Mrs. Don E. Johnson, president ol Klamath County Cow Belles. Entries should he taken or sent to her at 2633 Midland Road or to Ihe Klamath County Extension OI ficc in the Post Office Building. Three cash prizes, $15, $10 and $5, will be awarded to the three winners. The best posters will be displayed in Klamath business houses' windows prior to the June MrliH Cli singes By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP) - When a dramatic break in stock prices and a partial recovery takes its place on front pages alongside snowstorms and presidential jun kets and even royal engagements it means that the public is ask ing: Is this really a change from the 10-ycar bull market to a bear market? Is it a passing bobble caused by traders making a quick buck on Ihe drop as well as on the rise? Or is it a real ground swell caused by a change in at titude of investors? The market is used by many types of persons. There are the chartisls. They plot the daily ups and downs of selected stocks that make up the popular indexes. When Ihe index reaches a certain point they de cidc that means a bull market is under way and they buy. Or the index turns down and when It reaches another predetermined point Ihey say it moans a bear market is a sure thing and they sell. All this influences and ac cents the price trend. There are the in-and-out trad ers. They may scoff at the charts but trust to tips and rumors. They sell when they think a stock is at its lop. This may cause gen eral price weakness. They jump in lo snap up bargains alter a price break. This may lead to a recovery. There are Ihe big institutional stockholders Ihe mutual funds, Ihe pension funds, personal hold ings managed by trustees, to some degree the insurance com panies. Any switch in sentiment hy them can have a deep in fluence on Ihe course of the market. There are the individual in vestors, mostly wilh relatively small holdings. They usually fol low a trend rather than lead it. Often they just ride the cycles through unless price changes are loo big to be ignored. Along with Ihese types are the millions who own no stock at all but get nervous if a market break seems lo foretell a change in general economic climate. They have been told today's conditions are so different from 1921) that a stock market break now can go neither so deep nor affect Ihe general economy to so great an extent. Many times the public has been told that the long bull market pushed many stocks to heights that present or prospective earn ings didnt justify. Still it wor ries when the inevitable correc tion comes. For Ihe long-term investor the daily ups and downs are only paper gains or losses. He has no real gain or loss unless he sells his stock. He isn't actually out pocket unless the price he gets when he docs sell is less tha that which he paid, perhaps long ago. And since margins are now set at 90 per cent meaning only per cent of the buying price can he on the cuff not many stock holders can be sold out by break such as the one last Thurs day and early Friday. The answer then to whether it' really the start, or the confirma tion of a bear market probably is: It s too early yet to tell. An overdue correction in stock prices can be short lived and more bene ficial than not in the long run Tired lOiiiiirks By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) - Remarks that waitresses get tired of hear ing, or overhearing: "What's a pretty dame like you doing working in a joint like this?" know I asked for my steak well done, but I changed my mind, Take it back and ask the chef if he can make it rare." "Whaddaya have to do to get service around here, keel over dead?" "Her legs wouldn't be half bad if only they were on a piano. "Poddon me for being alive. Aft er all, I'm just a customer."

How'd you like to leave all this and go to work in Hollywood? I know it says no substitutions, hut can't you make it sliced to matoes instead of the succotash? "Whaddaya do for excitement in this town, watch haircuts? What happened, did the dish washer swap jobs with the chef again? "Naw, I haven't been wait ing long. I needed a shave when I came in. "Never mind the sugar, honey Just dip your finger in it." "Let me speak to the manager, or, better still, someone from the Board of Health." "The coffee's usually good here on Mondays. That's the day they clean out the urn. If George Washington ate here, he must have used this same table cloth." "Here y'arc, kid. Buy yourself another Rolls Royce." "I hear in this place even Ihe chef brings his own lunch." "It couldn't be a statue. I saw her move." "I tell you I ordered chow mcin, not lemon meringue pie. But what's Ihe difference? Leave it here anyway." "If that soup isn't cold, how come you had your thumb in it when you brought it? "Let me take you away from all this, sweetie, and the world will be waiting on you." . There may be snow on Ihe roof, baby, but there's still fire n the boiler." "Whatcha getting so stuffy about? After ell, you can't blame a guy for trying." SHORT RIBS .

At Ihe same time, Burney said in an interview that neither the public nor the medical profession taking full advantage of Ihe knowledge already at hand for preventing some ailments and checking others at an early stage As examples, he said there are l easy, inexpensive diagnostic test for glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, and a highly efficient test for cancer of the cervix (en ranee to the womb). Neither of hese is being used as widely as it lion Id , Burney said. Urging more attention to pre ventive medicine, he said people are interested "if someone can do something for them in mass such as providing a preventive vaccine against something. But there arc no such tricks yet available in the case of cancer, heart disease and arthritis." He said he expects no uch quick cures from current re search programs. Rather, he said, he expects that further progress against the great chronic diseases will come one step at a lime, based on "learning more and more about the biology of man.

Burney related (here are number of promising leads on various fronts to which the Public Health Service's main research arm. the National Institutes of Health, will devote increasing at tention either in its own labora lories or through research grants lo university and other private research centers. Governmental approprialions to N1H for medical research have increased more than five-fold since 1954. For the fiscal year beginning July 1, the health service is seek ing 4O0 million dollars for N 1 1 1 . This is Ihe same as was appro priated last year but with carry over funds would provide 14 mil lion dollars more a total of 295 million for medical research. The remainder goes for training scien tists, dissemination of research re sults, and related purposes. Save with Stale Farm's low insurance rates tor careful drivers See me. WM. N.
