Cclil 4 The Newi-Review, Roieburg, We're .Douglas County's "fairest flower" leaves today for New York and a two week experience only a few in the state have ever experienced. ""D'Ann Fullerton of Roseburg will be caught up in a whirlwind of activity which will be climaxed by the Miss Amer ica Pageant at Atlantic City, N. J., which gets under way next week. . She won't be there just as a visitor. She'll be one of the stars. She will be representing the whole state as Miss Ore gon. This to her is the greatest thrill of all. She says whether she wins or loses the Mjss America crown, the great thrill has Rear-End Collisions Can Be l Did you know that rear-end collisions ale the most frequent types of accidents oQurring on Oregon streets and high ways. They were responsible for about a tliiarter of the accidents last year. This was the report this month from tf)e Traffic Safety Division of the state Department of Motor Vehicles. I It says that as long as there are peo ple and cars, a certain number of rear ejid crashes is probably inevitable. But just as inevitably, many of them can be avoided by alert, defensive driving. It is in these cases of cars following that defensive driving can be the most Opinions From Readers Entire Give-Away Plan Is'tawless, Says Reader uTThe Editor: Strenuous efforts are being made about the flight of our gold supply to Europe and the claims of Eu ronton us for more gold than we possess. Possibly it might be well to remind those holding such fic titious claims that we have already givcji them almost uncounted billions- of our resources and they have no valid claims on us for anything whatsoever. Only a few years ago it was quttt"common to hear some digni fied banker declaim about the great "intrinsic value" of gold and to aver that that value nover changes, then it was worth exactly $21.10 per fine ounce and it was the only thing on earth whose Intrinsic value is unchangeable. The great intrinsic value of gold Is Q)e greatest of fantasies, the purest of poppy-cock, promoted by the gold holders, Moreover the intrinsic value is as unchangeable asjhat of gold, and the intrinsic value has no necessary relation to the selling value. A bushel of wheat of the same grade has the same intrinsic value at all times. The price may and docs change rapidly, yet value of wheat is in its ""power to sustain life and health. It docs not change so long as there is no change in its condi tion and grade. The intrinsic value of anything is its utility value alone. Our great industrial system noonly can survive and prosper witflnut gold but it has been doing just that over the past quarter of a century. We are hearing too much about a -paper currency that has nothing behind it. The U. S. notes have the integrity and wealth of the U.S. behind them. The chief difference in a paper dollar and a paper bond Is that one draws interest and the other isn't supposed to do so. Any irresponsible government can issue so much paper money it be comes valueless and that is just as true of paper bonds. Many na tions have in the past, and doubt less will in the future deliberately issue so many bonds they, too, be come valueless. If the Europeans bfcctfme too saucy about demanding we produce gold for them, it's high time to remind them they have al ready had far more sound dollars tban..they had any claim upon. ;Evcry lawyer in Congress knows no power was ever delegated the federal union to lend or give away a. .single cent of our resources to anyone, at home or abroad. The entire giveaway program is as law less as bank robbery and a thous and times more damaging to our economy. ilad there been such a delegation of such dangerous powers writtcrt into our Great Charter of Liberty uflder Law, not a single state would have ratified it until the clause wjas stricken from It. What goes on makes it appear the great ma jority in Congress holds the tak ing or the violating of the oath of office as a mere formality, com pletely unimportant, or no such act a; the Arms Control and Disarma ment act would ever be enacted. : Hubert H. Heath, - Box 218. Sutherlin, Oregon Control Drinking Cause, Demands Paper Reader Ito The Editor: "Concerning the matter of juven ile delinquency in Lane County and I might add all our other counties caused in most part by beet, drinking young people, it seems queer that few people seem concerned enough about this thing at least to express their disapprov al. We have a real problem here, one that cannot be solved by ap propriation of few more million dollars of taxpayers' money for the i Pa Ore. Just As Proud As rehabilitation of the poor wretches who have the so-called "disease" of alcoholism. If it is indeed a "dis ease," we go at its cure in a most peculiar manner. We immediately appropriate lit erally billions of dollars for extra law enforcement agencies to take care of the huge list of accidents, killings, broken homes, orphaned children, welfare, criminal acts, immorality and youth delinquency. But the cause is completely ignor ed, placed carefully in .the back ground, so no one wiii notice the real culprit. We had a law once that worked fairly well in communities where honest enforcement prevailed. We rejected it on the grounds that il created racketeering, rum-running and other law violations. Government statistics prove oth erwise. There is much more rum running and crime today than ever before and that takes in the population increase. Our young people are the fu lure of our nation. Do we want drunken, atheistic leaders to gov ern us? History proves that a na tion exists or falls according to the quality of its people and its leadership. The Bible teaches that no unclean thing or drunken person shall enter heaven. We must make a decision now. Docs the pleasure of that little nip or social drink mean more to us than the future of our young people? Or docs the stuff have such a hold already on our society that we would sacrifice our children for it? 1 know that what I say is not pop ular with many people. But I am convinced it is the truth, and we could do with a little of that in these days. Why continue to pet and coddle the thing that is causing our ruin? We have been so brainwashed by the heads of the liquor industry that we arc beginning to think any one who disputes them is queer. we cannot buy decency. Our taxes will not buy the character our yuung people lose after they be come addicted to the stuff. It is far better and cheaper to control the cause rather than try to heal the patients. No law ever passed achieved per fect enforcement, but we don't get rid of a law because enforcement is imperfect. We merely strive for better enforcement and for jus- Uce in our courts.

DeGaulle Has Welfare Of The French At Heart To The Editor: In reference to your editorial concerning Charles De Gaulle of France, if one were a Frenchman, I think one would be forced to be lieve De Gaulle has, as he sees il, the welfare of the French at heart. So far he has done rather well for France. He has said he will not sign the nuclear test ban, and for a very good reason. So long as Russia and the U. S. control nuclear power they can rule the world. The only means to get them to agree to destroy their nuclear power is found in the fact that the possession of nuclear power will become so widespread that any country can set the world on fire. Therefore. De Gaulle will continue testing. He has said he wishes destruction of all atomic and nu clear bombs, together with the means of delivery. I agree. The use of atom bombs in World War II made the Japanese quit. But, in my book, one docs not kill the children of a horse thief to make him stop stealing horses. If De Gaulle were an American, we would call him a great patriot. So long as Germany is divided, France has nothing to fear insofar at Germany is concerned. If the U. Sr would cease its backicg of West Germany, however, it is my opinion the latter would fall on its face. I think if 1 were Russian I 9 MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1963 She Is already been achieved. She has been chosen to represent her state. It was proclaimed at the Roseburg community booth at the Douglas County Fair that it was only through commun ity support that her success in the Miss Oregon contest was assured. Such com munity support is twice as important now because the odds and the rewards are even greater than they were at Seaside. Telegrams and letters from the com munity won't do anything to influence the judges, but it will give D'Ann the confi dence of knowing we are just as proud as she is that she represents the state, and particularly Roseburg. Averted effective. You can defend against such accidents by expecting the driver ahead to stop or slow down suddenly without warning. The next step is to look ahead as fur as you can see. In that way you can anti cipate trouble far enough ahead to warn you that a sudden stop is likely. Finally, you should stay far enough behind to allow extra room for emergen cies. If you're the driver ahead, you can also drive defensively. You can give the driver behind plenty of time to avert a crash by letting him know what you're going to do. would trust the U. S. as little as I now, an American, trust the Rus sians. But, as far as I am con cerned, I trust the Germans less than even the Russians. If a person robs a bank once, is caught and punished, then, after getting out of the penitentiary robs another bank, one may be excused for being suspicious of that person. lake a look at Germany s rec ord during our lifetime!

Others Deserve Credit For Fair, Says Reader To The Editor: After reading the editorial Aug. 20, commenting on how the "Fair Went Like Clockwork," I would like to say a few words, too. True, a great share of the credit goes to Bert Allcnby, manager, and the Fair Board, but how about mentioning a few others responsi ble for the beauty of the garden area and the immaculate condition of the coniploto fairgrounds? Without Jack Smith, assistant manager, and his wile, and the great number of boys and girls working with him, the fair never would have been ready on opening day. Rocks had In he hauled from many miles away. Ferns and plants dug and hauled to the fairgrounds. These materials were used in many of Uic projects such as the "Beauty Bowl." Everyone surely must have seen and admired these things, not thinking, or knowing, how much work had gone into it. And how about the beautiful lit tle winding stream thai ran through the garden area? It look lots of digging to get that in shape together with someone to oversee it all. That really was a big project! So, lei's say "hats off to those unsung heroes of our biggest and best fair ever!"

Ihe morning star is Jupiter. The evening stars are Mars and Saturn. On this day in history: In 1888, Tchaikowsky completed his Fifth Symphony. In 1920, the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote went into elfect. In 1934, Adolf Hitler said he wanted peace with France and demanded the return of the Saar to Germany. In 1948, Axis Sally (Mildred Elizabeth Gillars) was flown to the United States to face charges of espionage and treason for wartime broadcasts for Germany.

It may be the force which de termines whether President Charl es De Gaulle of France decides to seek a second term. It, more than France, will de termine the future course of the European Common Market. And in these days of cautious hope for a world more at ease with itself, the United States will take careful- soundings of, opinion at the Palais Schaumburg before proceeding further in any effort to reach agreement with the So viet Union beyond the present partial nuclear test ban treaty. Kay To Stability For Germany is the prize of Europe, nd remains as it has been through modern history the key to European stability. For De Gaulle, who sealed his Franco - German accord with a kiss for Chancellor Konrad Aden auer, the course of events since last. January has been a disap pointment. 4, In the preamble to the accord approved by the West German Bundestag the Germans made clear their continued devotion to De Gaulle's own grand designs for Europe. The German decision to become a signatory to the partial test ban agreement was over De Gaulle's opposition and led to laments in French newspapers that France now stands isolated. In its agricultural policies for the Common Market and in its desire that Britain also be brought into the European community, West Germany also stands in stubborn opposition to De Gaulle. And these are the conditions which may convince, De Gaulle that he and he alone can guide France through the immediate Key To Europe In the years since the West Ger man Federal Republic came into being in 1049, the United States carefully has nurtured West Ger man public opinion. A neutralist, or pro-Communist Germany could determine the fate of the whole of Europe. Californians Visit Relatives In Drain By JO CARLILE Airs.
