In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
The news today?
There isn't much.
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.
There was PLENTY of news

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
