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.

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

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.

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...

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

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

India's Attempt
To Monopolize
Reserpine Foiled
By DKLOS SMITH
l:nited Press Science Editor
NEW YORK (UP I Nature and
science have thrown a double block
on India in its attempt to establish
a world monopoly on the new
"miracle drug, reserpine.
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

tracted from the roots in India.

Re: Those High School Textbooks
I have read your series on lexis
and regret very much that your
readers are subjected to such ti
rades. I can see that you are well
inoculated with the "Progressive
Education" virus, a mental illness
for which our vaunted modern
science has failed to pronouunce a
cure, remedy or counter-irritant,
Further, I see you are a Demo
crat of the left wing. We do not
have "education in a democracy."

worse. Who wants any kind of so

other type. Why not let the laws

Are you not in favor of allowing
Iho Constitution to ' govern the
nation? Your upholding the acts
of modernistic (socialistic) text
writers and the dictatorial textbook
commissioners clearly shows that
you do not believe in your own
