Hayes, happily went up the noun
tain by use of the ski life. I watch
ed him enviously and knew would
never become that professional and
grabbed the kids and we went in
the lodge for lunch.
j Valentine weekend, for some
unknown reason, we decided to
try it again. Thinking maybe the
hills at Edelweiss might be against
me, we stopped at Strawberry this
time. Before we went over to the
ski run and lift we stopped beside
the lodge and found a sled pulled
by Eskimo dogs. With them was
their trainer, Elmer Schaible, who
Immediately drew our attention be-
cause Of his long hair curling
around his shoulders. After Lynne
had her ride we began talking to
Mr.. Schaible and he told us that
his dogs had 275 lives to their
credit. 1t seems that in those noun
tains when nothing else can save
, human lives the dogs can always
= get through to them. We were told
that during billiards. helicOpters
could not do rescue work in the
: Sierras and when the Coast Guard
needed rescue work done Mr..
Schaible was their man and showed

be willing to go out of this coun-
try to meet Mr.. Stalin?'
The President answered that he
was being asked in advance to say
that he thinks there is a good
chance or isn't a good chance. d.
He would meet anybody anywhere
if he thought there was the slight
est chance of doing any good, as
long as it was in keeping with
what the American people expect
of their Chief Executive. .. He
would go to any suitable spot, let's
say halfway between, and talk
with anybody and with the full
knowledge of our allies and friends
as to the kind of thing he was
talking about. Because this busi-
ness of defending freedom is a big
job and not just one nations bust
ness.
Our own comment would be that
Ike was saying that he would be
very glad to sit in on peace con-
.ference-if be thought it might
succeed. AS who wouldn't?
FURRY OF FREEDOM
In it's fourth decOntrol action,
the Ofice of Price Sterilization
turned loose candy and cigarettes,
dry groceries, copper aluminium
and some steel items, and told re-
tailers they could take down those
price charts from their walls. With
S11, ,00O,OOO,O0O more of annual pur.
chases freed from controls. only
14k per cent of the items on the
/ consumers price index remain un'
der wraps. In the food depart.
ment, only bread, beer and coffee
were still under the OPS wing, as
were household appliances, laun
dry and dry-eleaning services.
Cigarettes celebrated their new
freedom with a one cent rise
crackers and cereals were expect
ed to go up, rice perhaps twent!
per cent, but confectionery (cand!
bars, at least) would not.
Copper rose three and four cents
so you can be sure, there will b.
new price tages on automobile
when they are freed April SOtf
The gasoline to run them is al
ready up.
But, before you get too disturb
ed, or start pounding the boss
desk for a raise, remember tha
prices that are free to go up, ar
equally free to come down. A high
er price is pure fictiOn-if peopl
don't buy.

"REPUDIATIoN" IS A HARSH
WORD

WORD
A lot of people who just read
headlines, and a lot more who
think they know what's going on,
have been a little stunned to learn
that President EisenhOwer's ref
erence to secret understandings
of the past" in his State of the I'm
ion address, did not mean he would
urge Congress to repudiate the
Yalta and POtsdam agreements.
While the Republican platform
declared: "The Government of the
United States under Republican
leadership will repudiate all COM
mitments contained in secret un-
derstandings, such as those of Yal-
ia, which aid Communist enslaVe-
ment," the draft resolution which
the White House sent to the Capt.
tOl merely stated that Congress re-
jected interpretations of interna-
tiOnal agreements which have
been perverted to bring about the
subjugatiOn of free peoples"
Republicans were disappointed
but restrained in their criticism,
Many had hoped that the resolu-
tiOn could be strengthened to re-
pudiate the Yalta-POtsdam gift OF
Polish territory and the Kurile Is
lands to Russia-since this would
seem to have brought about subju-
CATION of quite a number of Poles
and Chinese.
But the Democrats hailed tbs
Presidents resolution with joy, anC
described it as "one that all Am.
orleans can embrace" Demanding
it's unanimous approval by Con
gress, the Democratic manifesto
said: There is in the President
resolution no trace of the parti
sanship that could lead to discOrC
and disunity. The Presiden
deserves strong bipartisan sup
port for this effort to preserve thu
unity of America"
And thus, it now appears. bur
ming issue will be sanctimOnious
ly inferred in a shrOud of double
talk, and no ones feelings will b
hurt-much. The American peOpl
are given no assurance that secre
agreements, as such, are banne
as instruments of government. Th
Senate is given no assurance tina
it's confirmation will be hereafte
sought. And we shall have to wal
and see just what subjugated pee
pies ii is intended to cheer.
So it was not, after all, tn
secret agreements that were wrOn
Just their "perversiOn."

Dear Friends:
The first weekend this month
we decided to test our skill on skis.
AS you know Hayes has been on
skis before; when he was sent to
Seattle, Wash, last year. He and
his cO-pilot from Georgia spent
night in a SnOWQualmie Lodge in
the Cascades. They LOVED it and
ever since Hayes has been dying
for me to ski with him.
We went up Route so, which is
parallel and south of the famous
DOnner Summit highway. The first
ski lodge on this route with a ski
lift is Strawberry Lodge and it is
80 miles from Sacramento. The ride
seems like a much shorter distance
because the scenery is just lovely
the snow capped mountains in the
distance, the rolling hills spotted
with grazing cattle, the tiny towns
filled with log trucks and saw mills,
the tall green trees along the noun
tain road and, of course, the noun
tain stream rushing over the fallen
mountain rocks.
This day when we reached Straw
berry Lodge we found very little
snow and decided to ride on to the
next lodge, about miles farther
down, or rather, up the road. When
we got to The Edelweiss it was
just mObbed with boys and girls in
gaily colOred skiing tOgs. AS it de-
velOped, this was a race meet day
It was no day for Elaine to try
out those logs, but we had come
this far, 10000. A Swiss-Alps-hat.
ted man fitted my ski boots to my
feet and said, "HOW do they feel?'
must have looked nOnplussed, be-
cause l had no idea how they were
: supposed to feel. After he though

ing for government bounty rather than pro-
ducing for a free market"
Mr.. Benson, in other words, believes that
the main purpose of his department and
other interested government agencies should
be to help the farmer stand on his own feet.
Certain farm products provide Mr.. Ben
son with ticklish problems now. Butter is
an outstanding one. Per capita consumption
has been declining, while that of competing
fats, such as OleOmargarine, has been in
creaSing. Butter is now pegged at 80 per
cent of parity, but the Secretary has the
authority to reduce this down to Is per cent.
If the 80 per cent parity level is maintained,
the government probably will have to buy
nuge quantities of butter-perhapS as much
as 250000000 pounds, along with cOmpOr-
able quantities of dry SKINNED milk and
cheese. If the level were lowered, on the
other hand, buffers competitive position
would be improved and the free market
would take more. Then the government, of
course, would be required to buy less.
Regardless of what happens to butter or
any other specific commodity, it is now clear
that the Administration feels deeply that
fundamental changes are needed in agri-
cultural policy. Many spokesman for the
farmer are in agreement.

WHAT Is ZONING?
Zoning is a tool for guiding
community growth in accordance
with a master development plan.
1t is one of the best ways of as
surfing that agriculture, industry,
business, and residences get an
even break. 1t stabilizes land val
ues in each district into which the
county is divided. 1t assures that
land developed for a certain pur-
pose will continue to be useful for
that purpose, that public water and
sewer mains (where they are
available) will not become over
loaded, that residential areas with
out public water and sewer will
not become overcrowded and satu-
rated with the effluent from sep
tic tanks and out-houses, that ade-
quate, uncrowded, public school
facilities will be enjoyed by the
children of every neighborhood. 1t
assures sufficient setback from
roads and residential streets in
order to anticipate any possible
future need for road expansion
and to minimize the noise and gas
fumes given off by passing auto
mobiles. 1t provides roadside pro-
lection against unsightly, danger
Gus, and tax delinquent ribbon de-
velopment. 1t provides protection
against the abusive use of advertis-
ing signs that clutter up many of
our roads. 1t provides for off-street
parking spaces so that traffic on
the streets may move freely, and,
as a result, the streets may be
made much safer.
Base on Plan
A zoning ordinance, to be fair
as we'll as useful, must be based
on comprehensive community de-
velopment plan. The studies that
are preliminary to the preparation
of the Upper County development
plan are now underway. 1t will
take at least another two years
before the master development
plan is completed. While we are
waiting for the studies to be COM
pleted and the comprehensive de-
velopment plan prepared gas sta
tions and junk yards are being
constructed next door to residen-
tial dwellings,, garbage is being
strewn alongside the road for want
of adequately located dumps, more
billboards are being erected, and
traffic congestion on our roads
and highways is increasing at an
appalling rate. The very things
