Community Effort Required Recently, at a meeting of the Industrial Development Committee of the Klamath Coun ty Chamber of Commerce, the thought was In jected into the discussion that it would be well for the Chamber to concentrate its efforts on helping in expansion of existing industries and businesses before wasting effort on attempts to get new industries into the Basin. As one experienced gentleman put it: "I have been spending years of effort in the area in which our sphere of influence is felt in try ing to get new industries. Now, I am convinced that that effort would have been better spent in consolidating and helping to expand those industries and businesses that are already es tablished here." We think that he and, the committee members are correct in their approach. It is an expensive and time-consuming task to solicit industry for a community or an area. Naturally, everything must be done to make an area attractive to industrial com plexes and single industries. Such situations just don't happen. They are created. But it is even more important that we realize the worth and the need of those indus tries and businesses that we already have es tablished. And a major portion of our com munity effort must go into maintaining their growth and development. Such effort leads to an orderly industrial and economic growth that avoids the pitfalls and dangers of a boom and bust situation. Another element of the Industrial Com mittee's philosophy that we like is the aware ness of the importance of the tourist and rec reation industry. Here is a great, untapped Guilt (The Wall Street Journal) The Government's antitrust case against various companies and individuals in the heavy electrical equipment industry has come to the final stage, but the questions go on. Some individuals involved have received, besides fines, jail sentences of up to 30 days. By and large the men going to. jail had, in the court's view, policy-making functions; those individuals who followed along in a dif ficult situation will not suffer imprisonment. But Judge Ganey, in announcing his judgment of the sentences of the individuals, . got back to the great unanswered question of the case. Said he: "In reaching that judgment, (the court) is not at all unmindful that the real blame is to be laid at the door-step of the corporate defendants and those who Easy (Gazette Timet, Corvallis) Looking behind the figures for private income and spending last year, we get the im pression that as a people, our motto was, "Easy come, easy go." We were not too pru dent. We spent a record of $328.2 billion in the twelve months. When we add the $120 billion that goes for Federal, state and local taxes, that left only $55 billion of the $503 billion that was the value of the gross national prod uct. Individual savings were at the rate of $26.1 billion. That left less t,han $30 billion for investment, expansion, and all the oilier tilings we need to do to make jobs, build our country and our private interests. It was a combination of extravagance and BARBS When little tots climb around the house the best thing to try on your piano is scratch-remover.

By "untapped" we are not implying that the community has been lax in promoting this phase of our economy. Rath er, it is generally recognized that the state of Oregon and the Klamath area can benefit much more from this tremendous source of activity and revenue. We would like to see more done along these lines. Attracting tourists to a community, keep ing them longer than they had planned, and getting them to come back is a complex mat ter. It includes such fundamental things as cleanliness, neatness, courtesy, a respect for the right of others, consideration of pocket book (no gouging), well-stocked merchants' shelves, complete services, and related ele ments of solicitude. These are elements of community and individual regard. When any or all of these elements are lacking, it is al most impossible to lure a tourist back to a community or an area, even if you are for tunate enough to get him the first time. Word of mouth promotion is very valuable in the tourist industry. Once an individual, a family, or a group has enjoyed a stay in an area, they are almost certain to relate their experiences to friends and acquaintances, And, they are equally as certain to relate examples of a poor experience. These are only some of the things we must keep in mind as we make preparations for luring tourists into the Klamath area in 1961 and the years following. We can't ex pect the Chamber, or any committee of the Chamber, to do the job alone. It must be a community and an area effort, on a sustain ing, meaningful basis.

He added that while the Justice Department had said it had no probative evidence which could secure conviction of those in highest corporate eche lons, "in a broader sense they bear a grave responsibility for the present situation." . These wore violations which had gone on , over a long period of time, involved many companies and individuals and many millions of dollars worth of business. The violations were known and condoned at the higher eche lons of the companies or else the top officials were not acquainted with important aspects of their business. Either way, the fate of those jailed im pinges on the conscience of the leaders in the electrical equipment industry, and the lessons are plain to the whole business community. Come, Easy the high cost of living. Each man, woman and child in the country would have had to spend $1,823 to make up the grand total of what Americans spent last year, and we know that millions did not have that much to spend. The average consumer spent $4.70 of each $10 bill on food, clothing and other nondurable; $1.30 on cars, refrigerators, furniture and other hard goods and $4 on rent, doctor and drug bills and other services. High prices and high wages make a mock ery of high earnings. We continue to spend most of what we earn and look to the Govern ment to take care of us in our old age, instead of having enough to put aside for own retire ment. And our laws penalize the couples who save to take care of themselves.

Nikita May Be Last Chance To Effect Peace With Reds By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) - It's no wonder President Kennedy is giv ing so much time and thought to dealing with Premier Khrushchev. The chubby Russian may be the last train home. There will be nothing to look forward to except intensified and more dangerous cold war if this country and Russia don't find v some common and amicable ground upon which to do business. Khrushchev won't be around in definitely. Unless in his lifetime some peaceful settlements are reached, the Communist world, particularly the Red Chinese, can consider his peaceful coexistence policy repudiated. The logical alternative to that is a return to the aggressions of Stalin. Khrushchev may be repudiated by his own followers even in his own lifetime unless his pursuit of peaceful coexistence can be rea lized in some demonstrable way. His Chinese allies think he is wrong and have said so. In a way Khrushchev has been a political freak. The only kind of communism the world knew un til Stalin died in 1953 was Stalin's kind cold, more or less inarticu late, and unimaginative. It was unimaginative in a very YOUR POCKETBOOK Forethought Saves Repair Dollars By FAYE HENLE Twenty-five cents out of each dollar spent annually for home appliances is spent for repairs. If you have not given serious thought to licking those repair bills, start now. First lino of defen.se: Learn as much as possible about the ap pliances and their maintenance. When you shop, remember th;:t an appliance's guarantee or war-, ranty is only as good as the company behind it. Check on who will make good on the guarantee dealer or manufacturer. If pos sible, buy from a denier who has his own service department, or from a manufacturer thai will send a serviceman to your home. When an appliance must bt shipped to the manufacturer for repairs il is a headache. Make sure that you know what the guarantee rovers. Sometimes parts and not labor arc covered, sometimes everything except a vital motor is covered. Never covci-ed is damage caused by your own misuse. Therefore, learn all you ran about an ap pliance before using it. When should you get a service warranty? Only if the original guarantee does not cover replace mcnt of the larger and more ex pensive parts and if you can get service from a nearby repair man, says the American Manage ment Assn. They have studied Ihe high cost of repairs and repot t on how you can save in a publica tion called "Supervisory Manage mcnt." The association advises that Ihe simpler the appliance is to operate, the easier it will be to repair. Make sure small parts are readily available before you buy. If you have no guarantee or service warranty, make doubly sure you need the repairman be ) TOURIST KiWJjr-Tlfc real sense. Stalin relied on the primitive use of force. He ignored the more modern weapons of prop aganda, visits abroad, and for eign aid to influence other peo ples. , Khrushchev not only denounced Stalin but made the complete switch by drawing a peaceful pic ture of Russia while using all the modern public relations methods available, the ones Stalin didn't ' try. What Stalin and Khrushchev re tained in common, as Kennedy pointed out in his State of the Un ion message, was a determination to make communism prevail. One basic difference remained. It was impossible to reach peace fu1 solutions with Stalin; it might be possible with Khrushchev. Ken nedy has made it clear he will ignore no effort toward doing so. Khrushchev sits and waits until Kennedy makes up his mind on what he'll do and how. But just because Khrushchev may be the last chance in a gen eration for some peaceful solu tions, Kennedy almost certainly . will be glad to talk with him if the Russian comes to this country in April for a United Nations mecling. Kennedy hasn't even indicated yet that he will. At the moment his policy is to say practically fore you call him. Check whether Ihe appliance is plugged in ami Ihe outlet working. If your wash ing machine is sluggish, try less sudsy detergent. If the oven smokes, clean it. Play along with your appliance for a while. A repairman will charge the same from $5 to $10 an hour in most parts of the country whether he is tightening knobs or overhauling motors. If you suspect big trouble, don't diagnose the problem yourself. You may think Ihe motor is shoi when only a simple repair is needed, but if the repairman is dishonest, he may install an un needed new motor and hand you a big bill. Check your phone book for auth orized servire bureaus. Palroqizc these whenever possible. Ask for a manual or instruc tion book for every appliance you buy. If your dealer has none, write Ihe manufacturer. Most manuals give instructions helpful to you and your serviceman. Oct repair estimates in writing If they appear high, check with another repairman. Get written guarantees on repairs, plus an itemized bill. When should you replace instead of repair? A good rule of thumb is: When Ihe repair bill is more than half the original cost of Ihe appliance, ' a trade-in may be a hotter bargain than a repair. How long should various appli ances last? Says one manufac turer: The life of refrigerators, ranges and vacuum cleaners range from 10 to 20 years: S to 10 years for your dishwasher: 5 to 20 years for a clothes wash er, about 10 years for an elec tric sewing machine. No estimate is given for your TV. How long it lasts depends on how much you use it. nothing about Khrushchev or Rus sia. But he has said "each day the crises multiply." Since he spoke they've become worse. For example: the killing of Patrice Lumumba in the Congo. One of Kennedy's most critical problems is one which may lie be yond his control. While he ponders the course to take in seeking set tlements with Khrushchev, the possibility of settlements may be made even more remote by ex plosions, like the Congo, in areas far distant from both Russia and the United States. Al manac By United Press International Today is Sunday, Feb. 19, the 50th day of the year with 3l.i more in 1961. The moon is approaching its first quarter. The morning stars are Jupiter and Saturn. The evening stars are Mars and Venus. On this day in history: In 1473, famed astronomer Co pernicus was born at Torun, Po land. In 18H4, the Knights of Pythias fraternal organization was found ed in Washington, D. C. In 1878. Thomas Edison re ceived a patent for his invention of the phonograph. In 1831. Kansas adopted state wide prohibition of all alcoholic beverages. In 1945, the U. S. Marines land ed on Iwo .lima. Also in 1945, war mobilization director James Byrnes ordered a midnight curfew for all places of entertainment.

I don't know why. but from an article I read recently comes the information that the husband's responsibility for iood shopping decreases as the family income increases. In households earning ' under $4,000, the husband makes 26 per cent of the4ood store vis its. Where the family income is between $4,000 and $7,000. the hus band makes 20 per cent of the shopping trips. In families with incomes of $7,000 and over, the male head makes only 16 .per cent of the shopping visits. I know that can't be because Ihe husband is the more frugal shopper, and as his income goes op, the less he bothers to check the shopping habits of the L.W. In my own ease, I can he sent to the grocery store for a bunch of parsley and a quart of vinegar, and I run up a $25 total before I get the cart past the first island of goodies. And, I find that this is true of prac- . tically every male shopper. They aren't "shoppers" they're buyers. The other day, there came in the mail a letter to the editor that is absolutely the ultimate. It's priceless. I only hope we can be of some help in getting the writer and his Uncle Fred together. Uncle Fred must be quite a guy and the world needs, and little boys need, more like " him, and I'd like to know him. I'm not going to use the boy's name, but here's what he wrote in longhand: "Dear Sirs: "Mr. Editor, will you please print this in your paper so maybe someone will tell my uncle Fred to answer the phone when I call. I live on a dairy farm and I like it very much, but I like to stay with my uncle Fred, in town, on week ends, so I can go skat ing and to shows. That is when he ain't teaching me things. "He teaches me many things that might not be so but I listen then he gives me money to go skating. "He tells me about justise in Mr. Vandenburg's court, about what the city council, are and the county courts. I learn how to paint and nail boards. I shoud ' read the paper and know whats going on and I do sometimes. I do not understand like he does because sometimes he gets red in the face and talks loud and aunt Melba takes him to the bed room where I can't hear unless I slip up to the door and listen. I hear him say words that he says I must not say. Once when that happened I had to run back in front of the t.v. so he wouldn't know I listened. Then when he went to the drug store to get some pills, I read the paper be cause I heard what he was say ing about a paper sack robber it said the robber tried to rob Tuck er's East Side Grocery, it's East Side Grocery. It says at 902 East Main it is at 921 East Main. I know because I slay there many times. How can I know what's going on when so much ain't so. "When he came back from the THE DOCTOR SAYS . . . Nasal Troubles Plague Victims By HAROLD T. HYMAX, M.D. Written for Newspaper Enterprise Assn. "Ever since the middle of September," writes a lady from Pittsburgh, "my nose is closed more than it's open at night. Some times I can hardly get my breath. And my mou'.h gets so dry il wakens me. The nose and throat specialist I go to wants to oper ate on me and remove an obstruc tion he finds in my nose. But if that's my trouble, wouldn't you think it would bother me more during the day when I'm busy at home? Or outside when I'm breathing in dust and soot?" Dear lady, your questions indi cate that you've been thinking clearly. Now, how about thinking the problem all the way through? For the reasons you've suggest ed, of course you'd expect your nasal obstruction to give you more trouble during the day than at night. Now, can you figure out why the opposite is true? In other words, why does this ob struction bother you to such an extent at night when you're at rest or even asleep in your own room? Several possibilities come to mind. From Ihe accompanying dryness of your mouth. I'd suspect that your bedroom is too hot, too dry and possibly underventilated. Without going to extremes, why don't you experiment with the at mospheric conditions in your sleeping chamber? You might first see what a steam kettle will do or you. Just plain steam, that is. No need for smelly medication. drug store he looked better and I sit on his lap and he told me many more things about police men not being paid enough and somebody else lawmakers I think. He taught me to respect the law and other things I can't remember. But I ask him about things in the paper and he got red in the face and aunt Melba took him in the bedroom again. Then I watched t.v. She must have got him another pill or some thing because he told me how to catch trout when nobody else can. Then he told me to read the paper every day and see justice done in Mr. Vandonburgh's court and maybe he would take me and let me see some. I ask him why aunt Melba catches more trout than he docs and then he didn't answer the phone for two weeks. I'm sure glad I didn't ask him about the big buck she killed. "But he doesn't stay mad. He came for me and taught me more things. I read the paper to please him then I get to go to shows. But after the court he didn't answer the phone. "Mr. Vandonburg sat there with his eyes closed but he must not have been asleep because he talks sometimes. Mr. Redding show pa . per sacks and clothes and people raise there hands and get up and talk about the time of day and none of them the same. Mr. Red ding said he was guilty and that bald headed fellow said he wasn't. My uncle said those people sitting up there would decide which one of them was right and put him in jail. Then Mr. Vandenburg opened his eyes and said something and everyone left. "I read the paper even thought my uncle said I didn't have to and maybe that's why he don't answer the phone. But I don't care if everything he teaches me ain't quite so. I love him just the same. I hope when he comes for me that we go fishing and if I catch more than he docs, he won't mind because he taught me how." That's it. And I hope that by . this time. Uncle Fred has taken that boy lishing and let him catch more than he. Further more, I'll bet that's just what Uncle Fred did! I guess that's what uncles are for. I recall my own Uncle Bill who . taught me enough baseball and basketball to qualify me for the pro ranks. And he taught me how to hunt everything from a gopher to a deer. All this brings another sobering thought to mind: that most of us fathers consider ourselves too busy making a nickel to bother loo much with the problems and the joys of a young son. Then, the first thing we know, they've grown into teen-agers, and they're way past us. We have failed to weld a common bond between ourselves and our sons, and when we realize it it's too late. For loo many of us, that is. Some of Ihe wiser fathers wake up, and leam their lesson early enough to prevent a critical failure. Uncle Fred you're great! Then you might try ventilating your room thoroughly before you turn in. Sort of give the air a good washing. Next you might try reducing Ihe heat or lowering the temper ature by cautiously opening the window little by little, depending on expected night temperatures. Finally, if these tests fail, ex periment with your pillows. You may find you do better if you lie flatter. Or prop yourself high er. Or use a bolster to prevent rolling over on your back. I hope you won't interpret these suggestions as an attack on intra nasal surgery which occasional ly works wonders. But. if the oeration is incorrectly conceived and you go back to the same eon ditions that caused your distress, you might be pretly upset.
