More Nominations
Bob Frazicr of tho Kugvne Register-Guard is i
real smart fellow, comes up with lots of (food ideas.
Recently he came up with one that's above 'standard
even for him. Frazier wants to make the dandelion the
national flower.
(Because of the fact that the dandelion is probably
spread over a wider area and grows in greater variety of
climatic conditions than any other flower, it might not
be a bad choice at that.)
But Fra.ier figures it this way.
"Make it tho national flower," he says, "and it will
immediately become hard to grow, difficult to propagate,
hard to ship and the price will skyrocket. If the price
goes up the darn things will be sure to disappear from
our lawns."
We'll join Bob Frazier in sponsoring his nomination,
but we'd Jiko to add some others to it. Some of them
ure:
1. We should make national heroes out of the guys
who cut in sharply in front of you during heavy traffic.
Keep 'em so busy making public appearances, war bond
speeches and service club appearances that they won't
have time to drive.
2. Give medals to those who insist on cutting in and
around fishermen and swimmers on "rivers and lakes.
Gold plate their boat motors, if necessary, so the motors
will bo too valuable tn use.
3. Make the roach a delicacy, and the most sought
after fish on the rivers and lakes in this area. They would
be sure, then, to become as scarce as 20-pound trout now
are.
These arc only three more to add to Fra.ier's first
nomination. We'll leave it up to him to work out the de
tails on these Schemes while we dream up a few more
nominations.
The Hat and the Ring
They Pass in the Night
Sheep are moving from Central Oregon ranges to
Cascade pastures these summer days, but not in the man
ner or over the routes of yesteryear.
' Many Bend residents will recall the migration of
flocks through the Deschutes country a few decades ago.
They were huge flocks. In some seasons as many as
85,000 were unloaded from trains here or moved across
-the "desert" to tho timbered rangelands in the mountains.
; Not all those flocks detoured Bend. Some were driv
en across tho Portland avenue bridge, in the north part
;of town, then herded westward through the city.
Occasionally gardens disappeared and new lawns

But times have changed. Mid-Oregon flocks have
dwindled in numbers, and there is no longer a driveway
through Bend.
Now sheep widely detour Bend. Few are aware of
their passage or of tho part sheep played in the econ
omy of Central Oregon in early years.
Letters to the Editor
I (Orcuan Slnlmmau, Stilrm)
Roy Colin whose nanle was nrtiininciiL in the news a
"year ago, spoke up to complain that the newspapers were
blacking out references to bis former boss, Sen. Joe Mr
Carthy. True, there has been little in the press about Joe
or from Joe for some months. But that is because he
killed himself off. The Walkins committee hearing and
the subsequent debate on its recommendation of condem
nation of the senator from Wisconsin finally dealt bin) a
jolt he hasn't recovered from. Then he is no longer chair
man of the Senate committee on investigations which
automatically deprives him of an official sounding board.

ing, have thrown him in the discard as far as their inter
est, is concerned. Public opinion operates in very subtle
ways. Sometimes it is slow to get stirred up. When it is,
currents flow swiftly. Joe has just got caught in one of
-its strong ebb tides. At that we may conclude that "no
-news (about Joe) is good news."
To The Kclilur:
As u visitor to Redmond, Ore
gon I was ralher shocked by the
iti-tidi which apiH'ared on th"
front pai;e of your June ljlh issue
an article which presented tin
decision of the hoard of Redmond
Union High .School in regard to
married students.
Working under the presumption
that tins article was placed on
Ihc front page as an puliation to
puhlie opinion, I should like to
point out to luci hoard that suc-n
decision is lo me very nigoicci
nnd docs not reflect the freedom
of education o( which we as
Americans are sn proud.
As students in America the
voung people are guaranteed
free education up to the Villi
grade. If n young couple are very
much in love, and are in High
School, it is natural for them lo
gel married. A decision of this
sort seems lo point to a choice
between marriage and education.
If they are forced to give up high
iiehii.il. Ihev arc being deprived of
a right to gain something jusl .11
the time when they need it most
It is advised in the article t'lal
they go to night school. Why
should they he forced to go lo
school and pay for it when they
are at a crucial financial stage of
life, and have every right to a
free education?
A a craduate of Fairbanks
High School Kairhanks, Alaska I
know of many cases in winch a
young fellow uil high school
loiiTt-il the army, got married, ami
then returned to finish up hih
school. Never was there any pro
hlem, eilher socially 01 wilh lb1
administration. I was interested 1:1

the honor roll. All of them were
well - illlegraled with school life.
and contributed to a well-rounded
-ducution for everybody.
That this board made a decision
of such gravity without a poll of
public opinion seems to me an
overstepping of power. It is my
hope that such a decision is not
final and will be changed by com
parison with other school boards
who may well be more objective
and more aware of the implica
tions of such a decision. If ti
married student does turn out to
he unworthy as a student he can
and should be expelled the same
as an unmarried student; but to
force withdrawal because of
church ceremony seems to me
violation of fundamental rights.
I sincerely hope, Redmond
School JigsW. Uui4v"su as reprt
scnlativ,.:, vkjhe community will
weigh Ibis question very carefully
and objectively: and (hat mem
bers of the Redmond community
will set forth their opinions with
equal care.
Thanking you as a very interest
ed and sincere individual, I remain
Sincerely yours,

jNeed for More
jDissenters Seen
By Chief Justice
MADISON, Wis. (UP) Chid
Justice Earl Warren has called
for more "dissenters" and men
who aren't afraid to be called
radical.
Mr. Warren made the plea lor
independent minds recently as
he spoke at the c entennial celebra
tion of the birthday of the late
Ilolwrt M. LaFollelte Sr., fiery
founder of the Progressive move-j
ment.
The Chiof Justice called La Fol

the word," and said America
still has need of such dissent. j
'It is as important now as it
was then; we must test all of our
public actions bv disseirt," he
said. "The majority does not al
ways discover the right answer
until it is so tested."
Mr. Warren led the tribute' to
"Fighting Bob" LaFollette, the
controversial senator from Wis
consin who won nearly five mil
lion votes when he ran for the
presidency on a third party ticket
1 19J4.
About 50 of La FolIet:te's old
followers in the Progressive move
ment, together with his son. for
mer Wisconsin Gov. Phil LaFol
lette, joined Mr. Warren in a pil
grimage to "Old Bob's" birth
place at nearby Primrose, Wis.
LaFoRette. Mr. Warren said la
ter, "did not dissent through mere
obstinacy. He dissented in right
eous indignation when he thought
the objectives of our government
were being subverted."
