Stanton Several years ago the red hat became Identified with the hunter. , Someone came up with the idea that a red hat worn by a hunter would reduce accidents. It has since been proven that other colors are more visible and would provide better protection. There is little evidence that red hats have in any way discouraged trigger-happy hunters. You'll also observe that about as many hunters are killed out of season as in season. Just how successful the red hat has been as a safety device is a matter of conjecture. ; But the red hat now is taking on new significance. In Its new phase it is more apt to save lives l;han before. Pre viously it was worn simply to attract attention of other hunters and warn that the wearer was a human being. But now the red hat is being worn as a part of a pledge to be cautious. , ? In one respect the use of a red hat bv hunters could be considered to have a bad side effect. Too many hunters, expecting to find all other hunters wearing red hats or red shirts, might shoot at any target not wearing red. The large number of horses, cattle, doe deer, etc., slaughtered and left to rot in the woods each year might be taken to indicate that carelessness has followed the custom of cloth ing hunters in red, If, however, the red hat can be made; a new svmbol, a symbol of caution and true sportsmanship, It will find a great welcome. Hunting Area Lost Sportsmen's organizations have long been concerned with the decreasing hunting area brought about through in creased population, improvement of properties, and post ing of land. Hunters were barred, from many logging ar eas and from private forests. Despite the fact that more and more hunting and angling licenses are sold each year, the acres of hunting area and miles of stream open for rec reational, use have decreased steadily. Sportsmen are aware that the conduct of many hunters and anglers has furnished ample justification for private land owners to post, their property. The real sportsman recognizes that the vandal and hoodlum have brought about an intolerable condition; ; I The, real sportsman, however, feels that he is getting a raw'deal. He is a respecter of property rights. He does not violate "No Trespass" signs. But the poacher and the hoodlum will sneak into posted land, or will spotlight deer at night, disregarding laws and signs. Consequently much of the posted land throughout the state simply helps to cre ate a preserve for the poacher and the type of hunter who maKcs posting necessary. Un-AmericanActivity i ' r- feeler (lldion I Editorial Comment From Th Orejon itu In The Day's News (Continued From Page One) Idea Spreads Rapidly ., , . Sportsmen's organizations have tried for years to find some way to improve relations with land owners. They have worked with farm groups and logging concerns. At a meeting of the Izaak Walton League Chapter in Portland last year, someone came up with the idea of get ting the state's real sportsmen to declare: , .... "r give my pledge to be law abiding; '' .' To respect the rights and property of others ; To be careful with fires and firearms." ' Each sportsman who signed the pledge received a badge, ' His red hat then became a symbol of his intention to qualify as a true snortsmnn to the best of his ability. " Not all wearers of red hats, however, took the pledge. There were many incidents of vandalism during the last hunting season. But and here's the best partlaw viola tions, accidents, acts of vandalism, etc., declined remark ably percentagewise. The Red Hut program last year showed excellent results. Additional gains are anticipated this year. : The idea at first didn't generate much enthusiam. The longer sportsmen looked at it, however, the greater became Its appeal. By the time Red Hat. Day rolled around last year the campaign was taking hold. Today is Red Hat Day for 1956. Thousands of pledge cards have been signed. Reams of educational literature have been distributed. Appeals have been made through the newspaper, radio and television to all hunters and anglers to be real sportsmen. Red Hat Day, originated in Oregon, will be observed this year in many states, It has been adopted on a na tional scale by the Izaak Walton League of America. . It is sincerely to be hoped that in the years to come the wearer of the Red Hat can be accepted as a true gen tleman of the Outdoors. J4JKv(e By JAMES WILDE JAKARTA Wl The Indonesian rhinoceros is becoming ex tinct says the chief of the veterinary service. This is bad news for the local romeos. The much prized rhino-horn is reputed to be a powerful love potion in these parts. iiiuuiicsia aim niuci arc me , ,,. only two countries in the world which can boant those animals roaming about in wild Hale. The Indonesian rhino differs from its African counterpart by ha vine only one horn instead of two. Hut K ami pack a two and a half ton punch when fully grown. At the turn ot the century In Tji hadak (Khino River), western Java you couldn't see the trees fur rhinos They were alrictly pro tected by the Dutch but even they cmjkin I stop lovesicK poacners from raiding the reserves to net the potent horn ground up and used as an elixir. Since (he Dutch left in 1W9 and with the wholesale use of firearms tha rhinos ranks have been sadly depleted. It is estimated that only 10 oi these cumbersome beasts are left. These are not the only anlinais which are in daniier of disappear ing completely from Indonesian forests, Other slow breeding spe cies such as oranutan ape are nearly extinct. This animal, clojx ly related to the African corilla. Is only found in Horneo and Su- by kldnapins. They fetch a high price in torn. A big-scale smuit RlinR business goes on between Borneo and Singapore. The most unusual animal now becoming very rare and only found in a small island tailed Kn niodo in Indonesia is the giant dragon. This beast forgot to be- car, driven by her husband, collid ed head-on wilh another vehicle. (Responsibility in that case is hard to pin down. Not enough de tails. But SOMEBODY cot out of his proper lane. When any car gets out of its own lane on a big modern highway bad trouble is apt to ensue.) There is heartbreak in this one: In Palm Springs a mother stood speechless and paralyzed wilh fear for half a dozen tragic seconds as her 18-month-old baby crawled in iront of a car that was just start ing from the curb. The n by died under the car's wheels. '. ' driver, until he heard the mother's screams, was unaware of what had happened. (1 suppose the hitler, heartrend ing moral of that one is that an 18-month-old baby must never be left out of sight for even half a dozen seconds.) So much for modern transporta tion dangers. Let s turn-now to one that harks back to earlier days. A prominent 76-year-old Hood (Sacramento counlvl rancher was killed in a RUNAWAY. He was breaking a young horse to harness in the time-honored way pair ing it wilh an older well-hrokcn horse. The team was hitched to a cart. His son was helping. The fa ther drove around the barn. When he came into sight again the team was running away. The son tried to stop them, but the cart hit a bump and the driver was thrown out. He fell on his head and died. There was a day when runaways were as much a part of everyday life as car accidents are now. There was hardly a country town anywhere that han't seen nerve tingling runaways right down its Main Street. The standard pattern (or a hero in those times was the brave young man who at peril of his life stood in the Dathwav of the runaways and seized a rein as they dashed past and brought Ihem lo a spectacular but safe stop. (Too often, of course. Ihe young man failed in his do-or dic attempt and injury or death to one or more of the occupants of the ve hicle ensued.) The death that stalks our high ways is a grim phase of our mod ern life. But 1 can't help wonder ing sometimes if everything considered, including the vastly greater density of our modern population Ihe hazards of our modern life are any greater than those that confronted our fore- Dears.

"President Truman did that in 1948," Nixon observed. "But he is not in the same class with Presi dent Eisenhower." There was a ripple of laughter among reporters over this indirect dig at Nixon's old sparring part ner. A couple of sentences later Nixon referred back to it to correct the record. "I intended nothing derogatory to President Truman. Nixon ex bit of film and recordings for stu dio-produced shows, perfect in de tail. FIRST EDITION of the "Repub liean Speakers Book" has disaD pcared from circulation. It was a nandy little vest-pocket size. Da per-backed booklet of 100 pages in a red cover. Issues were arranged in alphabetical order, one issue to a page. It was full of ready refer, ence facts and figures' to help cam paign orators prepare their mas terpieces. The booklet came out last June and a few copies got into circula tion. But word from GOP head quarters now is that the booklet was never really issued.

They ended up with 35 of these periods, two and three a day, beginning in mid-October. Then the Democrats came along later, went to the networks and said in effect, "We want the same thing, only more of it." Federal communications law requires net works and individual stations to make equal time available for ri val candidates when demanded. So the way the thing stands now it that the Democrats have a McKay, Morse Campaign Funds Top $40,000 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS W. A. Phillips, chairman of the campaign for Douglas McKay, said Wednesday contributions for the Oregon Republican U. S. sen atorial nominee totaled $49,700 up to Sept. 4. The sum, he said, included $14, 500 from the state GOP campaign committee and $5,000 from the Senatorial campaign committee. At the same time reports filed wilh the clerk of the House of Representatives in Washington showed that Sen.

Dewey of New York to come to Illinois for a campaign speech. Four years ago 'at the GOP con vention in Chicago, Dirksen gave a slashing verbal attack on Dewey. Dirksen was then supporting the late Sen. Robert A. Taft for the presidential nomination. Dewey was a strong pro-Eisenhower man. Pointing to Dewey in the conven tion hail, Dirksen accused him of having led the party to defeat in 1948. There were loud boos from the convention floor. It's all over now. Dewev made one of the best speeches delivered at the Republican convention in San Francisco. And Dirksen wants Dewey to help him on to victory in his Illinois re-election campaign tnis year.

Jail KLAMATH FALLS i - Lewi: HOW TO SELECT COLLEGE STUDENTS Albany Damocrat-Htrald Come next fall, an Oregon high school diploma no longer will be ticket of admission to state-owned colleges. Some sort of selective system will have been set up to weed out those who obviously are doomed to failure in the higher balls. This it a move being taken by men who are opposed to pre-selec- tion oi students. The state Boar a of Higher Education, the chancel lor of the system and the presidents of most of the colleges have been opposed to it. The reason they have given, as late as last spring, is that the judges are fal lible. Thev have come to it now be cause booming enrollments leave them no choice. Even a 44 per cent larger budget which will be re questedand a junior college sys tem which also is in tne works win not meet demand. At the moment, the board is thinking of making high school grades the basis lor selection. We're opposed to this. High school grades, in most schools in the state, don't indicate whether a student can hack it in college or will be a more productive citi zen for having gone through col lege. Flunk grades in high scnool usually show that a student will flunk in college, we'll agree, Straight A grades almost invar iably indicate that a student can keep his head above the surface in college. But do straight B grades show with any more certainty than B minus grades that a student will make it through four years of high er learning and be a finer citi zen? We say no. And that is the area where the line would b e drawn. Grades, in high school or college, indicate only what they are sup posed to indicate: how well a stu dent studied, understood or remem bered the topic of the moment. We defy anyone to study a group of able citizens in their 30s and 40s and deduce with any. accuracy what their grades were in either high or low education. , We hope the board, if it must fuss with grades, combines this measure with a written test. A com prehensive test of a number of fields of knowledge has one great advantage over the grade selec tion system. Such a test shows the will and determination to go on to college. A student who will bone up for it and go to the trouble of tak ing it has proved something about his determination at the time. And no doors should be closed finally. A person of 20 is much more likely to know what he wants to do than is a senior of 18. He should have the chance at regular intervals to take and retake the test. This would have plenty of weed ing effect and yet would not scrap the teenager who, at that time, liked to play too well or developed late. OREGON POLITICS ' TOPS THIS YEAR Coos Bay Timas Coos County is just beginning to feel the impact of the 1956 Oregon political campaign. Visits from Democrats Sen. Wayne L. Morse. candidate for re-election; Charles O. Porter, candidate for represen tative from the Fourth Congres sional District, and State Sen. Mon roe Sweetland, candidate for sec retary of state, and from Republi can Carl Francis, candidate for at torney genera), have followed one another during the past few days. mis area will likely see more statewide candidates this year, and more times lor eacn, than in any previous year because, for the first ! time in ages, few, if any, contests ! are "in the bag." Time was when about half of the Republican candi-' dates could just about sit on their hands in their home towns and wait for the returns to make their election official. There'll be none of that this year. Although we've been visited bv only one Republi can aspirant for state or national office, the others will be here soon. t This is a healthy situation. It is only right that a candidate who would represent all the people of the state should go before all the people, both to give his views ind lo answer the people's questions. The revival of the two-party sys tem in Oregon, through important Democratic victories in 1952 and 1954 and through the emergence of outstanding Democratic candi dates in 1956, forces all Republi cans to fight for their positions and to give the pcofle more fre quent and close.- vi.-ws of them. There remans In this situation a duty ot the voteri to meet the candidates ha (way lo turn out to hear the spejjters and to pin can didates down on the issues. Only in this way can ihe ne poli'icil pic ture in Oregon be of increased benefit to the people. Given good candidates In both parties and close attention to the voters to their respective virtues and failings, we cannot help hav ing better elected officials and bet ter government.

For a community the size of Roseburg to produce a team that could climb to that lofty height against teams from all the major cities of the na tion (St. Louis and New Orleans were in the finals) is a tremcnoous accomplishment.
