Life In Roseburg
Quiet Compared
With W. Africa
y LORRAINE KESNER
Things are pretty auiet around
the horn o- George and Esther
Stadsklev these daya. No golis
sticking their heads around sud
den corners; no pythons swinging
from the ceiling before their eyes,
and no parade of glistening black
people, asking help or stopping in
to Kossio.
These things are a part of daily
me as ine ataasKievs lived it in
French West Africa, where they
worked as missionaries under the
Christian Mission Alliance before
the war. The pythons, Mrs. Stad
sklev says, were no great trouble.
and they were just chased back
into the jungle. The golis, how
ever, were a diferent matter.
In their tribe of natives, the Ba
oulis, the goli was a devil man,
who, when the spirit moved him,
cama out into the village. He sent
a runner ahead of him to warn all
the women that he was coming.
Occasionally a woman did not
hear his warning. That woman was
doomed, and in spite of all minis
trations died within a week or 10
days.

NATIVE DRESS , Mrs. George Stadklev, who served
for HVi years in French West Africa with the Christian
Missionary Alliance, appears in the native costume with
her black girl, Amoue, and her daughter, Donna Jean,
(carried papoose-style by the native , girl). Mrs. Stadklev
is now a nurses aide at Douglas Community Hospital.
The Sladsklevs fought against
such practices (not termed voodoo
there) but 6000 years of belief and
superstition stood behind the goli.
and the natives' faith in him could
not be shaken, even after they
had become converted to Chris
tianity. The village where the Sladsklevs
lived, Toumoei, was an outpost,
having only about 15 French sol
diers and a commanding officer.
The native population stood at
1500 to 1800, considered a good
sized village.
The blacks resembled in culture
and dress the natives appearing in

WASHINGTON I Mrs. Clara
Logan of Los Angeles, president
of the National Assn. for Better
Radio and Television, told a Sett
le subcommittee Wednesday tele
vision crime shows are serving up
mental poison" to young Amen-
To a degree never before ex
perienced by any other genera
tion." she said, children oi tne
present day are being "saturated
with graphically illustrated mur
der, cliff - haneer suspense, inci
dents of brutality and sadism and
rimes of all kinds without num
ber."
She hinted that "an increasing
ly alert public" would boycott
the products sold by sponsors of
such shows.
The subcommittee, headed by
Sen. Henderickson, (R-NJ) is wind
ing up a two-day inquiry into
whether there is any connection
between television crime and hor
ror shows and teenage crime.
Spokesmen for major TV net
works contended Tuesday that tne
best scientific studies do not indi
cate any connection whatsoever.
Mrs. Logan said her organiza
tion was set up in 1949 as a non
profit corporation "dedicated to
the advancement of the public's
interests in the broadcasting . in
dustry."
She said a survey of the out
put of seven Los Angeles televi
sion stations last May showed that
crime and-violence "are the dom
inating factors; in approximately
40 per cent of all television pro
grams presented specifically for
children."
Mrs. Logan said she saw "no
indication" that broadcasters cr
sponsors "intended to do anything
to diminish the crime volume on
children's television shows," and
she questioned that the radio and
television broadcasters' code would
accomplish much.
The solution, she said, "lies in
public enlightenment and individu
al responsibility." sue saia mere
was no necessity to resort to cen
sorship of any kind.
Rather, sue said, "we Deiieve
that the public can say, in effect
'this program is harmful to our
children. You may broadcast it at
your own risk and that risk in
eludes the loss of our goodwill and
the loss of our support for the
sponsor who provides the . money
through which you put this pro
gram on the air'."
She listed these urograms as
having a "basic theme" of crime:
"Wild Bill Hickock," "The Roy
Rogers Show," "The Range Ri
der," and "The Lone Ranger."
She said:
"It would be ridiculous to claim
that these are' not outright crime
programs. ....... ,

Come in today for

information
Something totally fresh is here a bewitching new
all-steel beauty that sets the styling keynote for other
Ford cars to come.
But, styling gives the merest hint of what tht Thunder
bird has to otfer, For here is a car you can drive with
assurance and pleasure ... (or business or for recreation.
In traffic and on the open road the Thunderbird's
Trigger-Torque performance is literally a revalation.
Here is hair-trigger response . . . fleet, liquid agility , . .
backed by a reserve of swift, sure power to meet safety's
very demand.
Trigger-Torque performance stems from Ford's new
Thunderbird Special V-8-a high-torque engine with
4-barrl carburetor, dual ethausts, wide-opening valves
and Ford's famous low-friction design. And to enhance
the performance characteristics of this, brilliant V-8
engine, the Thunderbird provides special rear axle ratios
to match the transmission of your choice Conventional,
Overdrive, or new Speed-Trigger Fordomatic. , "
Then, in the ride department. Ford's Ball-Joint Front
Suspension rea works wonders. It not only velvet
cushions your ride, it also allows the Thunderbird to
handle with utmost ease to comer with greatest stabil
ity. And when it comes to stopping, brakes are big and
powerful.
But, more important is the way the Thunderbird is
engineered, designed . . . and built! For it is the product
of thesame advanced engineering ... the same manufac
turing skills that have made Ford products so depend
able, so value-full and so desirable to so many.
