POET'S CORNER KI.AMATH COUNTY tn that great state of Oregon Down in the southern part There is a county called Klamath Dear to the nativeVheart. The climate is quite healthful With sunshine most every day. Summer is a happy time You'll hear the people say. In summer there is boating; Or fishing on the lake. Often you find a neighbor In his backyard cooking steak. Young folks enjoy the snow While skiing in the hills. There's skating near the lake, No one cares much for frills. Many like this rugged life As they hunt deer in the fall. Then when the ducks fly over head : This thrill's enjoyed by all. Yes, down in Klamath County Folks arc the friendly kind. So drop in and visit them. I'm sure no one will mind. Jennie Charles, 1749 Menlo Way YOUTH OF TODAY . So much has been written About our youth of today; Regarding what is wrong With life in their modern way. So think back to the time When you folks were young. And all those silly tunes That most of you sung. You thought your life modern. And progressive you were. Even then all the late fads; If undertaken caused a stir. For girls started smoking. And cut off their hair. While a boy without a car, W,u something quite rare. So the youth of today With his old junk heaps Just follows Dad's footsteps With the company he keeps. We help mold their lives; So it's up to all of us To try and guide them right, And not make so much fuss. Jennie Charles, 1749 Menlo Way END OF THE TRAIL Just pause for a moment and think As you near the end of the trail Have you made your life worth while? Are you sure that you didn't fail? When the chips were stacked against you, And nothing seemed to come your wav; Did you give up and say I can't do it Or did you say I'll win today? There may be still time to reconsider. Time to do all the things you should. For wlien this lifetime is ended There's no turning back to be good. Jennie Charles. 1749 Menlo Way - Lie Detectors Being Used By Business MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (UPI- The average American is more likely to be taking a lie detector Records, Failures Mixed In State's Harvest Reports test these days emy No. 1. than Public En- Oregon's crop harvest shows mixed trends this year with some crops setting new records and others turning out poor, reports Mrs. Elvera Horrell. extension igricultural economist at Oregon State College.

When the harvest s completed, farmers look for nine corn and oats, but lest vheat and barley. Coin promises to be a reeoid- buster by a big margin with both acreage and yields up. Mrs. Horrell said. Some formers used corn to replace part of last year's virus-infected oat and barley fields in Western Oregon, she explained. Good yields per acre also prom ise to hold production of oats at a high level in spile of an acre age cut, Mrs. Horrell found. Willi the exception of 1943 and 1!15G, average yields this year look to be the highest since 1870. Barley output, meanwhile, has been pushed below last year by a combination of lower yields and Both sweet corn and snap beam ire expected to top all previoiu highs, and canning beets may top last year's near-average crop. Looking at production of fresh vegetables, Mrs. Horrell found onions falling far short of last year, and the amount of cabbage town some. However, fiist-of-the-nonth forecasts pointed to larger yields of broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. In a quick look at how the date's farmers are-doing income vise, Mrs. Horrell found that Ore gon farmers have taken in less money this year than last. Cash receipts from farm marketings in the first seven months lag the same months last year by about four per cent.

'Screening is most in demand by supermarkets, warehouses, de-j partment stores and banks, all with staffs handling largi? amounts of merchandise or cash," Zonn said.
