About 20 miles of fencing in the Sheep flock area is all that remains to be done. Completed is approximately 14.000 acres of sagebrush eradication by spraying; 13,600 acres of range seeding; 33 miles of fencing; five wells; and 15 waterholcs. H is expected that, alter two years, stockmen will be able to return to full utilization of grazing on this area. However, in the area served by the new waterholes, the additional graz ing area should be available next season. The federal funds made available for this work amount ed to $165,000. At Paisley Flat, 5,000 acres have been reseeded, enclosed, and subdivided into pastures by 16 miles of fence. Three of the five new wells are located there. At Coleman Flat, seed ing of 7,000 acres is finished and has lccn enclosed and sub divided by 17 miles of fence. There are two new wells. Seed ing of .1,(100 acres has been done at Poverty Basin. The 15 new reservoirs will store livestock water so that a large area of native grass, for merly unused because of lack of stuck water, can be grazed.

West Side All Around the Town By Joe Caraher When a Santa Claus failed to make an appear ance in the middle of a shopping center somewhere here on the West Coast because he misguided his parachute into the ocean instead of hitting a target in the village square, it reminded us of how times have changed. 01' Santa, we once were told, was just a nice, poly - poly, bewhiskered fellow who lived at the North Pole and was handy with tools. He spent all year long making things for kids who had minded their p's and q's. Then on the eve of Christmas he would saddle up the reindeer and circle the globe. By late Christmas morn his chores would have been ended and he would be back at the N.P. giving Mrs. Santa all the details of his earth-girdling mission. It didn't sound very logical when good oF Mom told us this story. But in recent years, in this new era of space, John Glenn and others have whistled around Mother Earth faster than the widely heralded junket turned in annually by the man in the red suit and silky white beard. You wonder sometimes why we couldn't leave the myth of Santa Claus as it was. In our constant efforts to improve or "progress" we find it necessary to alter the story about S.C.'s mode of transportation. In some places he arrives by fire engine with the sirens screaming. This does not appeal to the little people at all. In fact it nearly scares them to death and they immediately get the idea that Santa is a jerk. In other places, where they are trying to drum up a little Christ mas trade and who isn't Santa flies over in a heli copter. This isn't a bad approach because it's under standable with the cost of reindeer hay being what it is these days that Santa Claus might turn to this more modern type of transport. But even though we experienced playing Santa Claus on one of these heli copter trips skimming over the top of a city and wav ing lo the kids we think this is pretty much for the birds. Our point is that sometimes you get to thinking that the modern image of Mr. Santa is just so-so. At our house Santa was mostly a figment of the imagi nation. He was pictured in kids' books and the news paper ads and maybe he would show up in a depart ment store window. If, on a shopping tour in town with Mom, we'd spot another man in a red suit shortly after we'd seen the one and only, the lady of the house would say something to the effect, "Santa is a busy fellow. He really gets around." At our place the living room would be sealed off several days before Christmas. A sheet was put up on the french doors between living and dining room. This area of the house then became strictly off limits to the small fry. At that time Mom would go to work and decorate the tree and hang up the socks. In view of our not having a fireplace, it was understood Santa would use the front door. Then on Dec. 24 we wailed, in wide-eyed expectation. Suddenly, about the time we'd given up on his arrival Christmas eve, there would be the dog-gondest racket and commotion. Up onto the porch stomped this furtive figure. There'd be a few "ho ho's" and then he'd be gone. It turned out later that all the noise was caused by Dad rattling a shovel in a coal scuttle as he ran up the steps. But the image of Santa's arrival was complete. Mom would quickly announce as if we didn't know that the oF fella had been at the house and that now we were free to crash the living room barrier. There would be the tree, a thing of beauty, a coaster, blocks; maybe a tinker toy and a boy's book about wild animals. In later years it might be a new ball glove that caught our eye when we first tried to absorb the whole Christmas Eve scene in one fell swoop. Well, those were the days a long time ago. In our opinion Christmas is nothing like it used to be. Rut then nothing else is either. That's because we get older. To the kid of six today, the whole thing may be just as wonderful as ever. Of course all of this is the fluff of Christmas The important issue; the actual crux of the subject is: Do we appreciate the real meaning of Christmas as much as we did in days of yore?

Shaw Stationery 729 Main Welfare Rolls, State Institutions Affected By Austerity Program Friday. Dec. 13. 1963 Page 14-A Herald t Newt Klamath Falls (Kdilort Note: It'i relatively easy to bow to the voten' wish, es and order budget cuts, but what happens lo the people in state institutions, and the thousands who are on the wel lare rolls? By ZAN STARK United Press International SALEM (UPII "I shall not be a party to any action which would move aged and sick and infirm people into the streets of our state," Gov, Mark Hatfield said as he ordered austerity cuts after the Oct. IS tax refer endum. "We have an obligation to the aged, infirm and to welfare re cipients. ..we will make cuts where we can make them with the least harm resulting," the governor explained. The $49.8 million Board of Control budget for the state's hospitals, detention homes and prisons was trimmed $2.9 mil lion. State funds totaling $1.6 mil lion were stripped from the welfare budget. Because match ing funds were involved, the total welfare cuts came to more than $4 million. There are about 10,000 state wards in Board of Control insti tutions. They still eat, need medicine, hospital care, cloth ingor in the case of confine ment institutions, guarding and supervision. The stale can exercise some control over Uie populations of some of its institutions. Hospi tals can refuse admittance, or can release patients early. But the state has a constitu tional duty to provide detention for prisoners, and cannot con trol the rapidly expanding popu lation at Oregon Stale Peniten tiary and Oregon Correctional Institute. Staff cuts were made. Mental hospitals and institutions for the retarded institutions laid off 24 workers, and left 27 vacancies unfilled. Patient care could suffer. No body can yet guess how much. The Public Welfare Depart ment is fearful that the mental institutions and hospitals will re lease patients that welfare will have to place in nursing homes. The average welfare caseload in Oregon is about 65.700 per sons. This includes everything from minor grants in aid, to support of dependent children, to aid to the elderly and to full time nursing home care. The Welfare Department al ready was in budget trouble be fore the Oct. 15 referendum. Medical, drug costs and certain types of aid were running way over budget. The austerity cuts added to the problem. Hospitals and doctors have been on a pro-rata payment sys tem for years. Drug payments were added to the pro-rate sys tem last month when the bills far exceeded the money avail able. Some druggists refused to go along with the system. As part of the austerity cuts, the $5 increase in nursing home rates, 10 per cent increase in physicians allotment, and 4 per cent increase in hospital allot ment approved earlier this year were wiped out. The clothing allowance for nursing home patients and aged persons was cut 25 per cent. Membership in the state's medical aid to the aged pro gram was frozen at 7,500. When the enrollment exceeds 7,500, benelits will be slashed. Tom Srmu BATTER rot- I'ea LlaTn EXTRA HEAVY 'i OUNCE DACRON 1 INSULATED UNDERSUITS 100i NYLON, QUILTED SHELL WITH ZIP FRONT JACKET .
