JAY-SEEING Of, By And About The Klamath Jaycees HERALD AXTJ NEWS, Klamath Falls. Orrgon We don't want to blow our own hom, but the Klamath Jaycees. i with little or no preparation. ' launched Sept. 29 one of their most successful public service pro grams in their entire history. As this is read, six days re main to purchase your Klamath Jaycee seat belts at the special J.w: ijiices oi M.V5 or $3.75. We're the first to admit the program is not original with the local Jaycee Club. Corvallis Jay cees, after one month of ground work, put 1.700 belts on their area's automobiles in a two-week (ve. Well, the Klamath Jaycees did have that preparation time. Five days before the first day of the sale, somebody stood up in regu lar meeting and suggested we lend our name to the sale at the spe cial low price. Frankly, we didn't think it would involve as much work as we have had to put into it these last 10 days. It seemed, at first, that we could just have our two volunteer outlets sell the belts, w ith installation for a very reason able price, and the Jaycees could just sort of "work" in name only. We found it just wasn't so. Any time you try to' put a project .this vast over, it means every body in the club is going to have to roll up his sleeves and dig in. Fortunately, our young men proved equal to the task. We are extremely grateful for the time and space' local news media have given the campaign, and especially the editorial sup port from William Swcetland, pub lisher of the Herald and News, While we experienced great co operation from the news media it became apparent we were going to have to do the "leg work" of getting publicity information to them. This meant telephone calls tp Dick's Richfield and M.J.R. Muf fler shop each day to find out how the sale was going. It also meant getting supporting quotes from leading governmental and civic leaders for the media to use. But it didn't stop with publicity: as the campaign began lo grow after the first dav. we had to detail a. man to keep our two outlets supplied with belts. Then our .big push of yesterday at the Town and Country Shop ping Certter. President Mel Camp bell suggested we set up a tern porary installation center manned by Javcecs at the Town and Coun try for Saturday shoppers. More manpower was needed. Then somebody said our outlets needed signs lo identify them as distribution centers; manpower for sign painting and construction It became a whale of a job, but so far has proved to be a gratifying one. Our response has been excellent and we feel a lot of Klamath area people are going to feel a lot safer because of the Jaycee program. The belts are of two types both are nylon webbing rated for 6.000 pounds strain. The metal to metal, quick release type of belt sells for $5.75 per set: retail price is $12.50. The less expensive fabric to metal type, is being sold for $4.75; it retails for $7.95. We are selling the belts to the public at less than a dealer can buy them from the manulacturer. We feel this is our best selling point, "safety at a price you can afford. Both distribution centers, and the Saturday temporary outlet, in stalled the belts for $1 per set. The drive is scheduled to end Friday; if you haven't had your belts instilled as yet, they will he availab e in a wide range of colors, at least until then. Won't you spend (5 to $6 to stay alive?

SMITH AP Arts Editor NEW YORK (API The word for unabridged dictionaries used to he pompous. Now it is pop ular." The G. and C. Merriam Co. has brought out the new Merriam- Webster unabridged, under the title of "Webster's Third New International Dictionary," the first complete revision in 27 years Weight: 13H pounds. Number of pages 2.720. List price I buckram binding) $47.50. Cost to produce, $3' i million. There are 430.000 entries, in cluding 100.000 new words and meanings. That represents a re duction of about 150,000 entries! from the last revision, simply because a lot of stuffy and ar chaic terms have been eliminated. The idea was to make a dic tionary of use to housewives, av-1 erage students and business men. as well as the scholars. Remember when a lot of the word definitions were found In Idusly. musty quotations from Dry-' den and Pope? Not so any more. Of course Shakespeare and Milton remain, but in this edition there are quotations from 14.000 con. temporaries, including Kennedy Churchill and Hemingway, all the way to Mickey Spillane. Dinah Shore and Ted Williams. The publishers say that these past 27 years represent the great est vocabulary explosion in his. tory. Yet there are fewer differ ences in the use of the English language in different parts of the world than there used to be. Why? Partly because of the Second World War, Korea, the rnld war and the speed of modern travel. Words get around. In order to keep track of these developments. Merriam had to build up a file containing. 10 mil lion words in context. Some 100 specialists pored over books, news papers and magazines, menus traffic laws, game regulations, ice hockev rules, missile publications. By EARL ARONSOX AP Newsfeatures There is a new weapon in the never-ending war against mosquitoes. "One of the latest "annoyance preventatives" on the market is a rfcv interliriH carried bv granu lar vermiculite. This concoction. reportedly disrupts the mosquito s feeding system. The pest does not die, but it loses its appetite for bit ing. The lightweight vermiculite is covered with an oil derivative and DDT. It may be broadcast by hand nr hv a seed sorcader. It blends in color with the lawn or flowers, soil, plants or animals. Tti manufacturer savs a five- pound package will cover aboutl half an acre. He explains tnat me cells in the vermiculite hold drops of insecticide and permit evapor ation at a uniform rate. Protective coverage is promised for three to five days, depending, of course, on the weather. The mixture reportedly has been tested commercially by the South Cook County Mosquito Abatement District in Illinois and the Greater Winnepeg Mosquito Abatement! District in Canada. Although it has several more common names and many un printable ones, the Culicoides have had a good year, as far as bit ing you is concerned. The cool, hu mid weather of the northeast, es pecially, has made for good hunt ing by these bugs, better known! as no-seeums, midges or biting gnats. The liny insects are especially difficult to spot in the dim light of evening and a spot of blood may be the first warning that you have been nipped. Later, red marks may prove that blood has been drawn and a bit of foreign protein left behind. A rather lengthy reaction awaits allergies. To protect against midges, use the same sprays used to control mosquitoes around dwellings. $S.jf ' Annual Serves Potpourri Of Art To Suit Photographic Tastes Just Face It "Some Smart . By IRVING DKSKOR AP N'ewifeatures ' The "1962 Photography Annual" (Ziff-Davis. $1.25 is a visual smorgasbord, a potpourri of great pictures served up to suit every photographic taste at a popular price. The volume contains manv pho- los of great beauty and simplicity. Others are reflections of life's realities from pleasant memories to grim reminders. And there are some that are carefully contrived either with artistic ability or from a knowledge of photogapluc tech ninues. Following a formula of previous years, the annual presents capsule portfolios of outstanding photog raphers' work (eight this ycar, a selection of top advertising and il lustrative photography, an en larged international cross-section and some of the prize-winning photos and photographic books of the year. In addition, there is the help ful "Notes on the Pictures" sec-: lion which describes how each picture was made or gives some pertinent information about it. This feature is of such universal interest that it has been translated into appropriate foreign languages lor insertion in 100,000 copies car- marked for Europe, Japan and Latin America. This year's feature spotlights tare focused on: W. Eupene Smith . with 12 previously unpublished photos accompanied by unusual personal notes; Edward Steichen. with a backward glance at his 60-year photo career: Ezra Stoller. and his architectural achieve ments: David Attie, with her per sistence of . vision photo-phenomena; Toni Frisscll, and her womanly point of view of a num ber of things; Len Steckler, with his painter' approach; David Ves tal. with his poetic realism; and, somewhat sadly, on Ed Feingersn with a, memorial tribute. He is a photo-journalist who died top soon, at 36, this past June. Digging into the mine of in formative material about the pic tures at the rear of the book, I was impressed with the ingenuity used to create some of the startling effects. For instance the two-page per- sistence-of-vision photo by Attie was made by shooting II separate images which were then com bined on one print' througli careful planning and masking. But this was topped, at least in the number of exposures, by sports photo grapher John Zimmerman. He set up a sequence camera Unemployed Claims Drop SALEM (AP) - A smaller percentage of the number of per sons covered by unemployment insurance in Oregon submitted claims in the last week of September than in the last week of August.

Take the word "shake." In 1928 Webster showed 17 different mean ings and 15 usage examples, most ly from classical sources. Now there are 42 different shades of meanings, with 56 quotations cited.

The lowest rate of insured un employment was in the Corvallis area, where the percentage was 1.4. The highest rate was 7.6 per cent in the Urants Pass ara The rate of insured unemploy ment dropped in the Corvallis. Hillsboro, Hood River, Lakeview, Medford, North Bend, Portland.

It increased or remained the same elsewhere. in !!xea p:;;;;Cu oiiu iKornen a skier coming down a mountain slope in 13 different positions on one run. One large over-all print was selected and the 12 other fig ures were cut out and added to it, resulting in one composite pic ture which told the whole excit ing story. A much easier stunt made a three picture series by Robert Frcson. To get only pure forms of people at the beach, he de liberately threw his lens out of focus and created "experimental silhouettes. When amateurs achieve something along the same effect by pure carelessness, they throw away the results, give themselves a lecture and vow to be more careful in the future. The lesson is plain: amateurs must plan their mistakes more carefully or come up with a plaus ible explanation like "creative photography" or "impressionistic mood," before submitting the re suits. I, too. have a photograph pub lished in this new annual. It's entitled "The Magician" and con fidentially, the picture editor for the annual is a bit of a magic bug himself. By JACK V. FOX SUBURBU U.S.A. (UPD People are often talking about whether kids today are smarter than they used to be. Some are. Some aren't. Let me give you three examples. There is a teen ager in our sub urban neighborhood who has now banked $3,000. That's right $3,000! Freddy might best be described as an entrepreneur. Right now he is engaged in the sale of con traband fireworks. Some young friend of his was caught bringing them into the state and fined $50, For some reason the police didn't seize the explosives. ' So Freddy bought him out at a bargain price. He is now sell ing fireworks piece by piece at a price exactly 16 times that which he paid. His basement is some. thing like an oldtime speakeasy. Other kids sneak in and put up a dime tor one cherry bomb. By now we have an armed juvenile underground. Steve was going with a girl who worked in a seafood restau rant. He came around to see her so often the manager warned the girl she would be fired if he didn't stay away. The warning was relayed but the next night Steve and a friend. Charlie, sneaked in hoping to elude the boss. That gentleman spotted them, however, and descended on them in Ire. "Just one moment," said Steve, raising a hand in calm fashion. ' We are here as customers. We have come to eat." ; The manager glared at them, then escorted them to a table far from the girl's position. He handed them menus and waited. "What have you got me into?" Charlie whispered. "I just ate." Steve studied the menu. Finally he spoke. We will have." he said, "the children's hamburger platter di vided into two portions." You will not have the chil dren's hamburger platter," the manager replied. ;; And they didn't. Steve had: a hot roast beef sandwich and Char lie a tuna fish salad which he hardy picked at. They have not Dcen oacK since. PHOTOGRAPHIC MAGIC This magic on the ski slope is accomplished by sports photographer John 6.

(UPD-The peak year for corporate philanthropy was 1953, when a $100 contribution to charity cost a high tax bracket corporation only $18, according to a recent study of a citizens com mlttee on voluntary health and welfare agencies. Changes in the tax structure have raised the cost of a $100 corporate contribution to $48 in 1961. Corporate giving totalled $493 million in 1953, $395 million in 1958.
