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

The Government's antitrust case against
various companies and individuals in the

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

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

resource for the Basin. 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.

. guide and direct their policy." 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

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

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.

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.

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.
