By DICK WEST
t WASHINGTON UPI - N
v tional Newspaper Week is cur
- rently in progress and I should
- like (o urge everyone to cele
brate accordingly.
, Possibly there are aome
; Americans who do not know
' how to celebrate newspaper
week accordingly.
Well, each to his own lights,
but when people ask me what
they can do to help make news
paper week a success I always
. tell them "take a newspaper-
man to lunch."
Newspaper week customarily
brings forth many statements
On the vital role that a free
"Tress plays in a democratic so
' ciety. And every word of this
is true.
'- There is, however, another
' aspect tlvat I think deserves at
tention. I refer to the fact that
the newspaper business can on
occasion be a lot of fun.
Recalls Incident
As my contribution to news
paper week I thould like to re
count what happened one day
when the telephone rang In the
city room of a newspaper where
1 once worked more or less for
' laughs.
' - The call Was from a lady
who reported that she kept
hearing thumping noises under
her house.
' What kind of noises? Thump-
ing noises. Thump, thump,
thump, under the floor.
Unemployment Rate Falls
. Unemployment In the Klam
ath Falls area dropped to full
. percentage point during Septem
ber and stood Sept. '19 at Uirea
, per cent, the Oregon Depart
ment of Employment reported.
Four weeks previous to Sept.
19, unemployment was four per
cent of the labor force.
A year ago, Sept. 19. it was
2.5 per cent and two years pre
viously, It had been 3.4 per cent.
The department estimated
that a peak In agricultural em-
. ployment will he reached dur-
1 Ing October during the potato
, harvest. No shortage of bravest
labor Is expected.

. Why didn't she report this to
the police? She did. Several
times. But they claimed they
couldn't hear any kind of noise
thumping or otherwise.
The reporter who took the
call went out and interviewed
the lady. Then he came back
and wrote a story suggesting
tliat maybe there was an alli
gator under her house.
The noise could be Its tail
thumping against the floor, he
theorized.
Attacks Theory i
Next day the rival paper,
which resented being scooped,
sent ont of its own reporters to
interview the lady. He came
back and wrote a story attack
ing the alligator theory.
The pro -alligator reporter
promptly picked up the gaunt
let. Alter lengthy negotiations,
he .persuaded a 100 keeper to
lend him an alligator, which'
ho photographed in front of the
lady's house.
Then he wrote a story hint
ing that the alligator had
crawled out from under the
house and had been turned
over to the zoo for safe keep
ing. That was strange, gleefully
noted the anti-alligator report
er. There was only one alli
igator in the zoo perviously.
And now, after stensibly re

It was found that the local la
bor market has "apparently re

fects of the lumber Industry la
bor dispute which ended in Aug
ust." Although unemployment was
slightly higlier during Septem
ber over the previous Septem
ber, it was still within (lie nor

High News
By PATT1E VAUGHN
The eighth graders of Alta
mont Junior High School
held their annual Jerk's Day,
initiation to Altamont of all sev
enth grade students, Friday,
Oct. II.
The tevenlh graders had to
bow to the word "jerk" (if said
by an eighth grader), carry the
eighth grader's books, and wear
t'lieir clothes Inside - out and
backwards. Uicir hair un
combed, different pairs of shoes
and socks, and a potato around
their neck.
In the morning, after jerking
had slopped, an assembly was
held. It consisted of "kangaroo
court" and a skit. Everyone had
a lot of laughs.
The Altamont seventh and
eighth grades have played five
football games so far this year.
On Sept. 24 the Altamont
eighth grade played the Fremont
eight grade at Modoc Field. The
score was Altamont 8, Fre
mont 9.
Two games were played Oct.
3 at Modoc Field, both by the
seventh grade. The first game
played by the seventh grade
was against the Fremont eighth
grade Midgets. Altamont scored
0, Fremont scored 1.1. The sec
ond game on Oct. 3 was that of
Altamont seventh grade versus
Sacred Heart seventh grade.
That was a tie 0 to 0.
Another tied game took place
at Modoc Field Oct. 8 when Al
tamont eighth grade played
Fremont eighth grade. The
score was 0 to 0.
At Gem Stadium on Oct. 12.
Altamont eighth grade played
Savage Junior High School from
Grants Para. Tlic score was Al
tamont 25, Savage 6. It was our
lirst big win.

old buildings before the intro
duction of building codes, con
stitutes Dunsmuir's major fire
hazard, Gary Girdler, lire pre
vention week chairman, an
nounced following the town in
spection last week.
Accumulated rubbish between
and in back of business build
ings were also among the ob
vious fire hazards noted by the
visiting team of experts. Gird
ler said. He called upon the
owners and occupants to elim
inate these eyesores.
An inspection team made up
of insurance specialists and vol
unteer fire department mem
bers evaluated fire hazards in
87 business and public buildings
on Oct. 9. Twenty five buildings
were given a clean bill of
health and 142 "fix me" red
tags were hung up to call at
tention to deficiencies in the re
maining buildings.
The inspection w as not to call
public attention to individual
fire risks, but to enable correc
tive action to be taken which
will help Dunsmuir maintain its
present fire insurance rates,
Jim Lambert, fire chief, said of
the fire prevention week activi
ties. Fire Prevention poster contest
winners, their parents, inspec
tion team members, and volun
teer fire department members
wore guests at the buck stew
dinner at the fire hall Wednes

Poster winners were Ricky

Wheat Deal
Said Costly
SPOKANE (UPII Sales of
wheat to Russia may prove
most costly to the American-taxpayer-consumer
than a lot of
them realize, a grain official
said today.
Merrill D. Sather, executive
secretary of the Pacific North
west Grain Dealers Association,
said Canadian and proposed
American wheat sales to Rus
sia already have pushed the
wheat market up.
"For every cent per bushel
tlie price of wheat in the United
States goes up, the cost to the
American consumer is about
$15.5 - million," Sather said.
"It will laso only a two-cent
average increase over the crop
year to offset the $30-million
which the U.S. Department of
Agriculture estimates will be
saved in a year in Storage costs
by reducing our surplus by 150
million bushels," he said.
Sather explained the increased
costs would result from higher
subsidy payments on the wheat
wo export and higher prices on
tlie wheat we use domestically.

they both try to figure out
what's coming. And they both
have an easy time of it in
school, so start working on your
listening now.
One more point if a certain
class or a certain teaclier bores
you and you can't help day
dreaming, try listening in spurts
ithe same way tliat ywi study .
Concentrate hard (or to min
utes, tlien take a live minute
daydream break, tlien listen for
10 more minutes, take anotlicr
break and so on. It's not the
best way of attending class, but
it's better than daydreaming all
the time.
