Fabruary 28. 1955 Those High School Textbooks ; On this page today there appears a letter comment ing on some facets of a series of editorials recently pub lished in this newspaper concerning some of the criti--cisms .made of textbooks selected for hitch school use bv the state textbook commission. We take this means of drawing your attention to the letter. :,. The writer appears to be confused as to the type -of government and laws existing in this country. We , nave a republic, to be sure. But its difference from oth ,.er republics (such as the Union of Socialist Soviet Re. publics or the Republic of China) is that ours is a dem . . ocratic (small "d") republic, where the individual, not jne government, is supreme. a The basic premise of jail American law, whether .statutory, constitutional or derived from the old English common law, is that the individual is supreme. The Bill ot Rights of the American Constitution is designed strict- 4y to protect citizens from an over-zealous state. All our laws have the primary purpose of retaining the sover eignty of the individual and protecting that sovereignty .from either the government or other individuals. - We feel that this system, which allows differences ,?6f opinion and protects those who differ from their .'.neighbors, is a good one. We hope we still have, and al ways retain,, bur democracy. High Noon Sage Brushings By H A S. GRANT Busiest place in town, last Sat urday, was the county judge's of fice in the court house, where dog licenses are being sold. (Today's the last day without penalty.) Sat urday the judge's secretary wrote out the application forms as fast as she could go, all morning long. Some of the pooches went along with their folks, and waited out side in cars. The noisiets pair was a black Chihuahua and a Do- berman Pinscher, sharing sedan space and whooping it up great guns, just daring passers - by to touch a door handle. I thinK 1 could call the Chihuahua's bluff, but I wouldn't care to tangle with the Doberman. In World War II, the sheriff tells me. Dobermans (or is it Do- bemen?) were, used in the Corps K-9. The Doberman big, sleek, in tellieent is a one-man dog, and a nretty fierce customer when he's defending what he considers his own. The fellow outside the court house appeared to be very capa ble of controlling any situation that might arise. But his pint-sized companion was doing most of the talking. There seems to be a moral here, if anyone cares to pursue it. You can't beat these style-con nclous teen-agers. All winter long. snow-white cords were the tiling. Now the Young Man tells mo that Mnrk denims are the last word for spring. Hew Interest in Ice Caves Long before man developed refrigeration, nature J$ad its own cooling devices ice caverns choked by min iature glaciers. 5 . One of these, the Arnold Ice Cave, is only 12 miles from Bend, low in the northern Paulina foothills. In ear ner years this refrigerated cavern was featured locally -fls a tourist attraction. In those years, tourists from all parts of America sought directions to the Arnold cave. And, after battling dust, high centers, occasional rocks and even down tim ber, these tourists returned to Bend, angered by the fact :lhat the Arnold cave had been listed as an attraction. Many of these mad tourists never reached the cave Fjrea, but wandered over unmarked roads. Others who preached the cave of ice were in no mood to appreciate 'ihe natural phenomenon. The result was that for the past decade or so, the Arnold Ice cave has been "played down" as a tourist at traction. Fact is, tourists were advised not to try to at Hempt the drive. i.;.' Now, through improvement of the Brooks-ScanJon flogging road from Bend to the Cinder Hill area, the Ar rnold Ice cave area will be comparatively accessible: Its location is only a mile from the improved roadway. r-m Even in the 1955 tourist season the modernized hogging road will be available for public use on weekends, hen log hauling is in recess. When logging is completed, 2,he road will be available daily. - ; This points to renewed popularity for the Arnold Ice cave Possibly the Arnold Ice cave is not attractive as it was in early years when its miniature glacier was un stained by surface dust, but it is a cavern with a story. Part of that story concerns Bend. Fifty years ago, when Bend was n village with an uncertain future, the Arnold cavern was a source of ice for the hamlet. The cave ice was sawed into massive chunks, removed from the cavern opening and hauled ' into town in freight wagons, to bo stored through the summer in sawdust insulated ice houses. From the viewpoint of the earth scientist, this ice cave, and others in western America, has an intriguing story. It is n story that ends with questions that have been only partly answered: "Why does cavern ice form, and why won't this ice melt in the hot days of summer V" Some say that the direction a potential ice cave faces is an all-important factor, but cave authorities and geol ogists differ on this. Ice, it is said, has been found in caves facing many directions. The Arnold Ice cave faces in a northerly direction. One of the best known ice cav erns of the Modoc lava beds, Skull cave, faces west. Air circulation appears to be an important factor. In the winter months, the Deschutes caves inhale that Js, cold surface air "flows" into the caves. On warm days of summer, the caves exhale, and as the cool air flows out it lowers the temperature in the ice area. Because the caves "breathe" in this manner. there is a longer period of refrigeration than melting. Edson in Washington Let's See Now, E is For... By I'KTEB EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON (NEA) There's a new parlor game mak ing the rounds in Washington that is leaving senators, representatives, assorted bureaucrats and at least one Cabinet member in a state ol red-faced embarrassment. Sen. Mike Monroney (D., Okln.) and Mrs. Monroney introduced the game with great success the other nighl at a parly -given by ben and Mrs. Robert S. Kerr. There were 35 guests, including the five Oklahoma congressmen, Senator Kerr's staff and half a dozen re porters. Senator and Mrs. Monroney passed out pieces of paper and then naked the guests to list seven U. S. Presidents whose lust name begin with each of the letters of CALVERT. The time limit was 60 seconds. ITry it yourself and see how how you do.) Onlv one young woman, one of Senator Kerr s secretaries, got all seven names. She was (lie only one who named Hie President whose name begins with "E." A horror-struck silence followed an nouncenient of answers. Wrote Senator Kerr in his news letter to Oklahoma constituents, telling of the game: "My embarrassment was sonic what relieved when 1 learned thai one of the smart men of Prcsi- was all set at one time. General Lucius Clay, then U. S. supreme commander in Germany, was to accompany Zhukov. And as Presi dent Eisenhower himself has re vealed, he offered his son as aide and his Army chief of staff's plane for the trip, to assure safely. But the day before scheduled-do- parlure, the Russian headquarters in Berlin sent word, that Marshal Zhukov was ill and could not come. That night he was seen at the Ber lin opera, healthy as you please. But for three weeks thereafter he disappeared. When he got back, the Ameri cans who knew him fairly well asked him why it yas that he had cancelled his plans. Zukov evaded answers. But he finally revealed that since the Red army had two marshals (Klementy E. Voroshilov was the other) it would be em barrassing to have one of Ihcm get too much attention.

Its sole source of supply was supposed to be from the roots of the plant, Rauwolfia serpentina, which was believed to grow only in India, and thus India seemed to hold all the cards. Six months ago it clumped an embargo on the export of rauwol fia serpentina roots, which mount that when stockpiles were exhaust ed reserpine could only be ex tracted from the roots in India.

Why not let the laws of the land rule? Are you not in favor of allowing Iho Constitution to ' govern the nation?
