Newspaper Page TextYou Are Storting To See" Things My Way My Way!" , or. i. a t Pa from the PRESSBOX a e Page 4 The News-Review Double Any question about support of vo cational and technical training as part of a proposed community col lege for Douglas County must have been dispelled by published reports this week. First, there was strong indication from industry leaders at a public hearing that vocational and technical training should be incorporated into anv community college curriculum. Then, the Umpqua Guidance As sociation, made up of people who should know about school dropout problems, took a four-square stand in favor of making vocational train ing a part of a community college course program. Both groups saw such training courses as at least a partial answer to unemployment problems. The Umpqua Guidance Association took the stand as a method of meet ing the rising tide of school dropouts, who find themselves mercilessly thrown into an unemployment pool. Most of the time, the academic courses offered do not appeal to these dropouts, but learning to do something technical might spark their interest for further education. The association feels the employ ment market also offers limited hor izons to those having just a high school education. Meanwhile, almost to a man, the industry spokesmen at the Thursday hearing of the Legislative Interim Committee on Technological Employ ment insisted vocational training would be helpful both to the indus tries and to the young people. Many of those present said they Opinions Perhaps Assassination Guilt Can Be Collective To The Editor: Communism killed President Kennedy. I had nothing to do with it. I detest and abominate the crime. Why should I feel guilty or you, for that mut ter? Lee Osward was horn and reared in the United Stales. Why did he turn to communism at the ago of 15 years? Was Oswald crazy? In my opinion he was no more crazy than a man who robs a bank. People are murdered In this country every day.

Three of them, this morn ing's dispatches tell us, arc to bo hanged publicly. Another one will be doused with gasoline and burned alive. A wealthy Arab merchant has been ordered to kill his sons and daughters ami then kill himself. Lesser Arab dignitaries are being compelled to lie down in the street, stripped to their un dei'wear, and sing songs in praise of the rebel leaders who have overthrown the centuries old Arab regime.

When Columbus stubbed his toe on the Western Hemis phere in 1942, he was seeking a water route to the spice regions and was terrible disappointed when he found what had happen ed to him. Why was spice so important in Miotic days? It's an interesting story. In those days, there was no retrigeration. So their meat tended to gel pretty high, pretty Purpose Eyed For College From I' Communism is not just a sys tern of economics. It is first and foremost a denial of God. A Christian, Jew or Moslem, or any person who believes in God, cannot at the same time be a communist. A Christian communist is a contradiction. When people ignore God it is not long before they deny Him If there is no heaven, there is no hell. If there is no judg mont, there is no judge. If there is no judge, then everyone can pursue his own happiness and break all of God's Ten Commandments. (Only, avoid the police and keep out of jail.) No doubt Osward was happy) when he killed Kennedy. Today the name of God can hardly be menlioned in our pub s! he schools.

It was a Big Business. Genoa and Venice became great and powerful cities because they were the European centers of the spice trade. The spices came up the east coast of Africa and through the Red Sea. Camel trains carried them across the Isthmus o." Suez, and ships car ried them to Genoa and Venice. That brings us around to can a Is. A canal was dug across the Isthmus of Suez, thus enabling ships to avoid the long haul around the southern tip of Af rica. Eventually, Arab Egypt grabbed the Suez Canal. Much! trouble followed. In the course of time, we dug a canal across the Isthmus of Panama, thus ending the long haul around the tip of South America. Now there are threats', that the Republic of Panama may gran ine ranama uinal Here's one for the book: I In Washington.

In fact one spokesman said he often has to hire men who have no previ-' ous knowledge of the raw material ; and product on which they will wprk. They felt courses in both forestry and lumber generally, as well as such specific courses as welding, electricity, etc, would be of great value to the industries in achieving full production from their men ear-' lier. The Hanna Nickel Smelting Co. spokesman summed it up from the other side of the coin, i.e. how such training will benefit the man search ing for a job: "If a person will go out and train himself, he won't have trouble finding a job." The consensus was that raw, un skilled labor is a glut on the market, but skilled workmen are badly need ed. One man saw the age of vocational or technical training even at the high school age as a possible way of building "inspiration" into a young person to make him a better em ploye. These decisions and discussions are interesting in light of the arguments which have arisen with the new com- . : munily college programs all over the state. The original idea was to make community colleges lower divisions of the formal colleges in the aca demic field. However, now it; ap pears a lot of people want the com munity colleges to serve a two-fold purpose both as a low-cost lower di vision training ground for academic study and as a vocational-technical school.

It is not a question of being a liberal or a conservative. It is a question whether we are to be for God or against Him. Lee Oswald was a product ol our own materialistic society. Perhaps there is such a thing as collective guilt. Prank Liening C. V. lit., Box 515 Winston, Ore.

Oh, my God out of cigarettes again!

Congress, as you know, al ready requires such an ac- unting by top admii.istration oificials as a check oh conflicts of interest. But it has imposed nothing of that sort on itself. Some members feel It is vong to i.sk presidential ap i.oinlees to do something they j,,, - ,. unwilling to do themselves. - few have even none so far as to publish their own holdings voluntarily. By and large, I am on their side. 1 believe it would be a good thing for congressmen to put their holdings in the pro verbial "goldfish bowl" par ticularly if they own any I watered stock. I I do not think, however, that 1st newspaperman should ask members of Congress to, do something he is unwilling to do. So I have decided to make public a list of my holdings. If. that is, one item can properly be called a "list." All of my capital assets cur- resources tsto a Wall Street trembles. When we io him an order to sclL Wall Street shakes.

This is known as double, or even triple, espionage, because if the Cubans backed the Ameri can panel on cigarette smoking this clobbers the Virginia tobac co industry, which sends its products to London, and puts Cuba back in the tolacco pic hire. It also' returns Turkey to the modern tobacco market, and Fatimas will rise again, to- gc'her with Confederate money Get it? ; . . . For- heaven's sake, Cynthia, empty the ash tray!

After I resolved to make my finances public. 1 went to the club treasurer to get an up-to date audit of my holdings. "For 1963 you showed it long term capital gain ot Sl.Slli and a short term gam of 15 cents, he reported. 1 said. "1 hat 5 pretty goon. considering that there hasn't been an earth.iuake recently." "Actually, those figures arc just a tax write-off gimmick," the treasurer said. "If you really want to know where you stand, you have to consider the value of your holdings, which! increased by St. 74." j 1 said "1 don't understand why my net worth only in creased SI. 74 if 1 made $5.11 in capital gains." "That coffee can doesn t de clare many dividends," the treasurer said. Well, that's Wall Street for you. Up one minute and down the next. Washington State Hits Bridge Cheaters t PORTLAND (UP! I - The Washington Toll Bridge Author ity staged another crackdown this week on the Portland-Vancouver Interstate Bridge. Three persons were arrested for failure to pay the 20-eent toll and released on $25 bail each. George E.

That's why tl.ey had the purge, stupid. Cynthia, for heavens sake, must you leave the thing burn ing on the window sill? These things are bad for you Now as I see it, if Panama links up with Ghana, we will have no market for wheat with Russia, but the Chinese will make a deal with Algeria to push tobacco instead of grapes, which will throw the wine busi ness back into France and that involves do Gaulle. This will di rectly affect the Common Mark et, and de Gaulle will be selling our chickens to Castro in return for the tobacco monopoly in the Sahara. Just one more time, Cynthia I warn you. Either smoke it or put the bloody thing out. The place smells like a kennel. It Gets Messier Where were we? Oh. If de- Gaulle muscles into the Cuban tobacco market in return for our chickens, and the Danes never forget the Danes, because they are invading the gammon field here and "matting a poor thing out of British swine the Danes sign a separate peace with China in return for the buses the British have sold to Cuba, we will be in devilish poor shape in Cyprus. No, Cynthia, I will not allow you to smoke a pipe. They stink, and your lips arc unlikely enough already without the add ed impost ot lip cancer, rare as it be.

But 1 do not think that even Mak arios or Rasputin was respon-i siblo for the recent cigarette scare. It has to be dc Gaulle at the bottom. Well. I don't sec what that has to do with the bus business In Cuba. We traded tractors for people, and financed Castro's missile bases which Khrushchev; bought when he was trying to corner the filter-tip market. Or did we not trade tractors for! people? Was it only drugs and ransom money? Uganda Creeps In Luanda grows bananas, most ly, and the government did not throw out all those people for smoking on the sly. Uganda threw the people out for making a joke about African political competence, which is as it should be. African political com petence is so great that I cite you the latest news from Gha na, where even the would-be as sassins can't hit Nkrumah with any consistency, hecause they have to stop for the pause that ref-eshes and reload between shots.

ICooyrl , Hi) ii, Unrtw p M , lnt , Br VIN Got to wondering Wednesdsay if about half the people who quit cigarettes after the govern intent's report last week hadn't already given up the battle and i gone back on the weed, would be interesting to know how many quit Saturday or Sun day but were back smoking by Wednesday. I called Chris the photog rapher Monday about 3:30 in the afternoon and he didn't seem to be his usual happy, wiseacre self. Detecting a difference from his normal behavior, I asked him what was the matter and he said, "I'm trying to quit and am getting quite upset in the process. Not realizing what he was! talking about, I kidded him about knocking off work in the middle of the afternoon and he then informed me he was talk-. ing about quitting cigarettes not work. Haven't checked back since to see u ties still on l.ie wagon or not. Cordon Stewart says he's going to quit newspaper, tele vision, radio and magazines and keep on smoking. I eertainlyyam surprised not to have gotten several answers to last week s bridge problem by this time. The puzzler is so old that, al though my faded clipping is from a Minneapolis Star ot years ago, I thought the hand would have made its way out here long ago and that many bridge addicts would come up immediately with the answer. It has been so long since I worked it myself that I didn't remember how to play the hand and was afraid that I might have to "eat crow" or spend a long time reworking the prob lem. Was sure, though, that I'd get enough correct answers that I could.,put the solution in the column without going to a lo( of work myself. The only pcri.cn who has told me she' figured the thing out is Mrs. Alma Parks, who works here in The News-Review.

Some goat breeders have lost four and five hundred head, which at a value of $4 per head, makes the loss a very serious matter. C. It. Maupin in Elkton and L. E.

The editor of the Hope, Ark., Star says "The tragedy of the people is We start off with a rsuntry and wind up with a government."

Mrs. B and I drove over Wed nesday afternoon and back on Thursday. We didn't realize, I guess,' that Klamuth's 4,200 feet plus elevation would make the dif ference in the weather that it dees.

It snowed all morning Thurs day and the trip over the Green Springs route coming home in the afternoon was possible only , because of the use of much de spised auto accessories , tire chains. v The scenery was beautiful up on the top, with the trees heavy with snow, but you'd have to love a person like a brother to make that round trip to see him.
