In East Berlin, Old Kroosh says he regards President Kennedy's performance in West Germany last week as a "dangerous devel opment." Why dangerous? Well, he thinks our President was try ing to pull Germany clear over on our side. He thinks that would be bad business. In tlie Congo jungles, a senior lecturer on animal psychology and a photographer are sitting in a tree with a lot of toys. He says they will stay up there three months so that the Congo chimpanzees may become accus tomed to their presence. Then they will pass the toys down to the chimps. If the chimps PLAY with them, it will be an other sign that man descended from monkeys. And in Chicago a dental specialist says thumb suck ing by youngsters is a good habit. He says children who are avid thumb suckers seem to have few er cavities than those who don't such their thumbs. When that kind of stuff gels into the headlines, it means that there isn't much news. It was different 187 years ago On June 3, 1776. the Founding Fathers were putting the final touches on the final draft of the Declaration of Independence. On June 3, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia had moved in the Continental Congress that "These United Colonies are and ought to be free and independent States. Twenty days later, on the eve ning of July 3, 1776, the immortal document was completed and the next day, July 4, it was adopted, and the United States of America came into being. There was no dearth of NEWS then. Nor was there any dearth of news on July 3, 1863, 100 years ago today. At dawn of that fateful day. the Union artillery began to play upon Culp's Hill, which the Confederates had taken the previous day. After a bombard ment of several hours, the Union infantry swept up its slopes and recaptured it. General Lee had massed his artillery along the crest of Sem inary Ridge. He had determined . , to iusk . jsyjsiixw in u ..on, n grand assault on the Union Cen ter if Culp's Hill fell to the Fed erals. There was dead silence for a half hour. Then Lee's artillery opened up. It roared for an hour and a half. Pickett, at the head of 15,000 picked men moved out. They moved across an open field a mile wide. The Federal artillery tore great gaps in their ranks. But never did the line of gray u n i forms halt or waver. It pressed steadily on. As it came within range of the Federal muskets, its ranks were mowed down like grain by a reaper. But- Practically at the moutlis o! the cannon, the line broke. Only a few men reached the Federal line at the Bloody Angle. Only a handful were left to retrace their steps across the valley of death. And that was that. The Battle of Gettysburg was over. More than 40,000 Confederates were killed, wounded or cap tured during the three days, of whom 6.000 were left dead on the field. The Ninth Virginia regi ment went in 250 strong, and only 38 men came out. . The Eighth Georgia lost 24 of its 32 officers. Of tlie 24 field officers in Pickett's division, only two escaped unhurt.

Mrs. Jackson was convicted of throwing her daughter into the gorge at the same time, and is serving a life sentence.

His plane made a refueling stop in The Azores but he remained on board in bed and asleep. He landed here at 1:33 a.m., EDT, and was whisked directly to the White House by helicopter. The Cabinet meeting was sched uled for 11 a.m., EDT. The Cabinet meeting was called primarily to give the President a chance to catch up on domestic affairs since he departed for Eu rope June 22, particularly devel opments in the civil rights crisis. At the Cabinet meeting the President also was expected to ver and blue Air Force jet trans port, plus an assortment of heli copter hops and motorcades. He spent about 26 hours flying in Air Force One, his transport, plus nearly a dozen hours in helicop ters. He was mobbed by millions in the metropolitan centers of the four countries visited, and he re turned home relatively tired from long hours in the back of a tour ing car, standing and waving, and fielding everything from thorny rose bouquets to solid clumps of confetti.

The council opens its second session Sept. 29. No closing date has been set. Clean-Up Campaign To Start The nation's 52nd annual Clean up Week will be observed during the week of July 7 by residents of Klamath County. Clean-up Week will promote individual inspec tion among the people of Klamath County to rid their homes, offices and shops of lire-breeding areas. In explaining the history of the campaign, Robert Walker, coun ty judge, and Joe Sawyer, air port manager, noted that tlie first clean-ups were held to rid homes and yards of rubbish and waste accumulated during the winter months. Later campaigns adopted the same objectives and continued one week or even longer. In recent years, the movement has spread so rapidly that almost every U.S. city has an annual campaign. Some repeat tlie effort in tlie spring, fall, or during Fire Prevention Week, while others simply operate on a year-round schedule. .The National Firs 'Underwriter Association has pointed out that in most cases files are not acci dental. Leading causes of fire are carelessness in the handling of smoking material and tlie misuse of electricity, says the organiza tion. Last year, fires took the lives of 11,750 persons in the United States, and property damage and destruction amounted to well over a billion dollars. Local fire officials commented that each citizen can prevent fires from striking their homes and businesses by following a few steps of precautionary measures; iiuguuu iv jus jeci yuur Home and business from attic to cellar for potential and actual fire haz ardsand eliminate tliem. Teach your family to be fire conscious, and realize the dan ger associated with improper use of fire. Always keep fire department numbers posted by the telephone.
