The one danger was hunters each deer season. At that time it was necessary to confine the children to the cabins during the day. Hunters roamed the forests all around the little clearing, and shots were frequently quite close. Alter three years tlie family re turned to Klamath Falls for the birth of another son and to allow Margaret to enter public school The homestead was not logged by the Swan family, but sold. Swan used the proceeds to develop his share of the farm near Merrill where he built a stone house and had a dairy and alfalfa farm un til 1UI7, when he left to become principal of Ashland High School.

His charge against the govern ment: It's guilty of a "reaction ary, nonsensical attitude that will assure this nation of a skid row in every city from New York's The monsignor's rebuttal: This Is "totally Ceasar's law, and none ul Cod's law. This is bureaucracy at its worst. . .1 cannot, on mora grounds, have any part of it." The thing that brought on the collision was the minimum wage law and its application to the monsignor's home for alcoholics.

UPI Telephoto nation as a "sheltered workshop lor handicapped people since his altoholic cenler falls in a special category." This would exempt him from the provisions nf the wage law. The monsignor told UPI he couldn't accept either choice The first one could very well put me out of the business of re habilitating alcoholics," he said in an interview. "The center couldn't afford il." And in a letter to the Labor Department, he said he might be forced "to call in the city, county and state relief people and enroll every last one of these alcoholics. This way, they can get relief, but no work; they can get money but no sobriety; they can get food and booze, but not God's grace." The monsignor's objection to the department's second choice is' Dotii moral and medical. He said. first of its kind ins center is not a shelter, nor are the alcoholics handicapped lie added: 'Jails are shelters, mental in stitutions are shelters, flophousesl are shelters . . . alcoholics need not shelter, but hope; not shelter but compassion; not shelter, but1 love and understanding.'

Comic Strip Aids Corps ALBUQUERQUK, N. M. IL'PH Perhaps the youngest person working for the Peace Corps in South America is Lopelin. an urchin of about seven who is the title character in a comic strip published in Colombia by "t.1 Tiempo" of Bogota. Artist Ernesto Franco, 34, works on his daily strip in a dormitory room at the University of New Mexico, where he is a member of a "counterpart" group of 16 Colombians training with the Peace Corps. He compared the newspaper feature to the "Peanuts" comic strip familiar to readers in the United States, and said the life of young "Copelin" typifies the pov erty and illiteracy facing Colom bia. Franco, who earns about $3 per installment of the comic, will re turn to his country to work in educational television as part of the Peace Corps community de velopment program. rranco iso ne of about 400 per sons training for Peace Corps work at the University of New Mexico this summer. The school is the first year-round center for training volunteers. The television project is the undertaken by the organization, and is giving ad vanced training to volunteers who will go to Latin America to im prove the educational television established there. Franco will return to Colombia along with his countrymen and 20 American Peace Corps volunteers at tlie end of the training pro gram, to work side by side on developing the educational tele vision system there.

Nevertheless, it is another example of the symbol of the West, the American's be lief in tlie land of America. Swan was an educator and farmer. His interest turned to the more promising form of farm ing, the land at Merrill, fertile with moisture controlled by the reclamation project. Later his land at Merrill was traded for river - bottom soil near Junction City, where he was a pioneer in the raising and irrigation of pole beans for the Eugene Fruit! Orowers. After retiring from the cdu lional world, he and Mrs. Swan lived on the Junction Citv farm. After Mrs. Swan's death, he later married Mrs. Rachel Apnlecate t.ood. a Latin teacher in the Klamalh Falls High School. Ra chel survived him. and continued the operation of the farm until her death in L155. Time Device Fashioned From Scraps SEATTLE, Wash. (UPll-Take a section of a IB-inch gun barrel from the scrapped battleship USS Colorado, mix in some house hold canning paraffin, a box of borax and 325 pounds of quicksil ver, insert a couple of tubes and what do you have? Well, if you're William Schell you have a "time machine." It's not a contraption like the one H. G. Wells imagined to transport man physically back into the past or forward to the future, but one to determine the age of things through a system known as the Carbon-14 process. Schell, a graduate research as sistant in chemistry at the Uni versity of Washington, has set up his apparatus in the basement of Bagley Hall on the campus. It appears to be quite compli cated, but the process is based on the simple theory that any carbon C-14 can be dated bv merely counting the radioactive material containing radioactive rays it emits. And scientists are convinced that plants, animals even sea water have been ab sorbing Carbon-14 on this earth (or millions of years. C-14 is formed in the upper at mosphere by the collision of cos mic particles with nitrogen. After a series of chemical changes as it falls to earth it winds up in plants, for instance, during pho tosyntheseis, which is the process that produces carbohydrates and makes green plants green. Because they know the nature of C-14, scientists can count its rate nf radioactivity by compar ing the C-14 in old material with that in new and, using a precal-i culated scale, can determine the age of the old material. ' The problem is constructing an accurate counter. And that's where the Colorado's cannon comes in. A pure steel housing was need ed to protect Schell's counter from ever-present outside radio activity. But modern steel is made in a process involving ra dioaclive Cobalt-16. However, the gun barrels of the Colorado were forged before tlie new method was used and this-is-just what Schell needed. ll ' l 1 Anti-Mosquito Formula Given NEW YORK - If y o u "i "ism coiorea ciotnes. arc less active than average, bathe three times a day in warm weath er, are 65 years old and have moist, cool, very fair skin, you can spenn the summer without scratching- you're virtually mos quito proof. On the other hand, The Insid er's Newsletter warns that if your dress and physical characteris tics are the opposite of these. you'd better get under a net, be cause you re a mosquito's invita tion to a banquet. The Newsletter says that a re port by Dr. H. L. Haynes. a New York entomologist, purported to be the last word on the die tary preferences of mosquitos. re veals that mosquitos in approach ing a human "host respond to attractive forces which they Icel through delicate sensory glands on the bottoms of their feet and their antennae. Launched as a study for ways to protect servicemen in trop ical climates, the study found that warm-skinned individuals attract 30 per cent more mosquitos than cooler-skinned types and that the darker a person's skin, the more likely he is to be bitten. The entomologists also learned that mosquitos don't just bite hu mans for the sadistic fun nf it Only the female pursues people and animals: driven bv instinct she needs to bite in order to lay fertile eggs.

Keep pedals tightened. Lub ricate tlie pedal bearings fre quently. Occasionally you may want to overhaul the entire crank assembly on which the pedals are fastened. Start by removing the pedal opposite the sprocket. Lay out parts in the order in which you remove them. Clean in kerosene and then lubricate. Inspect lor worn or missing bearings. Looseness sometimes develops in the fork assembly. Remove the handle bars, then unscrew the locknut, cone and washers and examine the bearings.

' Tips Make Easy Sleep CHICAGO (UPli - Summer time and the slcepin' is easy if you follow these tips on beating the heat. A firm which manufactures bed ding suggested the bedroom can be kept cooler by closing the windows and drawing the shades or blinds just before noon. This helps keep outside heat from en tering. Open windows at night when you retire. Take a lukewarm bath or show er, never a cold one, to relax you before retiring. Use cotton sheets instead of nylon. Sleeping under a sheet is a good idea, since it will protect from any temperature drops or drails that might occur during the night. A hail pillow , although relative ly hard, is cooler than a down pillow. Foam rubber pillows are the warmest. WALLS CLEANED IY MACHINE pml ml i4r-ratlni. I r I BARRY'S Hm ( Irinlnf trulrt f 1 ?
