Candidates charge each other
with ducking vote-losing issues
By Unlttd Pra International
Presidential opponents Richard
M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy
accused each other today of duck
ing in campaign speeches topics
that might lose votes.
Nixon planned at least eight
stops in a whistle-stop trip
through rural and industrial sec
tions of Ohio. This is the GOP
nominee's second consecutive day
of stumping for the state's big
bloc of 25 electoral votes.
Democratic candidate Kennedy
ended a back-breaking two-day
campaign through Illinois and in
vaded Detroit and other Michigan
cities in quest of that state's 20
rival's program would boost food
costs, and suggested Kennedy
lacked the "political courage" to
estimate how grocery prices
would be affected.
Kennedy accused his opponent
ol a political coverup on Amer
ican prestige abroad. He called on
Nixon io make public a govern
ment survey which published re
ports said showed that foreign
countries consider Russia the
world's mightiest military power.
"Perhaps this incident of politi
cal coverup will remind us that
it is time to face, not hide, the
facts about our situation, both at
home and abroad," Kennedy

I Nixon began the new day of
blunt charge-trading by question
ing Kennedy s political courage
for having fallen "so strangely si
lent" on the Democratic farm
program.
Poses Question
"Could It be that once again
his political nerve has failed
him?" Nixon asked in a speech
prepared for delivery in Spring

RADIO PROVIDES OUTSIDE CONTACT The Silver Lake

She was very busy relaying messages during the recent hunt

Hunters kept her busy with
messages to 'outside world'
By Heltn Parks
Bulletin Staff Wrltar
SILVER LAKE - "People just
can't imagine a town in Oregon
not having telephone service,"
says Jackie Corum of Silver Lake.
An average of two contacts an
evening over her ham radio sta
tion the past few weeks enabled
hunters to call out for parts for
disabled vehicles or tell their fam
ilies of a delay in their return.
'"Last year I had 14 ham oper
ators working at contacting the
wife of a Rosrbuig hunter," Mrs.
Corum reported.
It was In September of 1959 that
Jackie (Mrs. Don Corum) went on
the air. Reluctant at the start,
her first call was answered by a
Portland veteran ot 20 years'
broadcasling. He was reassuring.
Her radio activity is the rosult
of a community need. With a 25
mile drive to the nearest telo-
Tuesday blaze
threatens town
KERBY, Ore. (UPI) Fire
threatened this southern Oregon
town of ISO Tuesday.
The blaze, which started in a
vacant lot, destroyed a house,
several small buildings and dam
aged Uie Masonic Hull. Damage
was estimated at $15,000.
About 100 persons and nine
pieces of equipment from sur
rounding towns and fire districts
battled the fire.
The vacant lot In which the fire
began was about a block from
the main street of the town. High
winds hampered fire fighters.

phone, it is a real service to her
husband, operator of a local gar
age, to have Jackie radio for
parts. And during the recent con
struction of Midstate Electric Co
operative lines to serve Weyer
haeuser s Camp Nine she radioed
for the construction firm 20 times
in one week.
Part of Duties .
Receiving contacts from the out
side, such as reporting progress
of relatives who are ill, are part
of her duties as a member of the
Oregon Emergency Network, on
the air each evening at 7 p.m.
"If you accept the responsibility
for a contact," she says, "you are
expected to carry through no mat
ter how inconvenient. When you
help people out in this way, you
know you're doing some good,"
Jackie said.
Each morning she talks with
Ernie McKlnney in Lakeview,
Lake County Director of Civil De
fense. Preparing for this special kind
of community service required in
itiative and persistence. Qualify
ing for a license was the first
step. This might be simple for
someone to whom practicing code
and understanding radio terminol
ogy comes "naturally".
Takes Practice
"Taking code at 13 words a min
ute takes quite a bit of practice
if you have no one to practice
with, she noted. Phonograph rec
ords offered the biggest help.
While talking is faster, code
reaches out farther.
Jackie recalls the day she pass
cd hor tests. Then when she ven
tured on the air, she broadcast
over the local TV sets. This didn't
last long, since TV was new in
the community and viewers were
most unhappy. A filler remedied
that situation.
As an operator, Mrs. Corum is
bound by the Federal Communi
cation Commission's rules. Even
though she makes calls which she
feels are important enough to take
the time of the Bend ham she
contacts, she must list and report
all calls, giving the time and sta
tion contacted. While she must
make the contacts, other parties
may do the talking if she is there
to monitor.
Visiting with other ham opera
tors can be very time consuming
but Jackie rarely indulges. She
has a wide variety of interests and
responsibilities. With four young
lads in the family circle there's a
normal load as homemnkor.
Damages sought

alarm fire resulted in heavy dam
age to a one-story, quarter-block
automobile seat cover company

Says People Misled
Kennedy charged Tuesday night
that Nixon had "seriously misled
the American people" about the
reported prestige survey.
The Massachusetts senator told
an Elmhurst, 111., audience that
Nixon had "mis-stated the facts,
either because he chose to misin
form the public or because he
was uniformed himself."
Contrary to the vice president's
assertion that U.S. prestige is at
an all-time high, Kennedy de
clared, Amoricnn presti'io, es
sential to our influence and our
security, had declined these last
eight years even more sharply
than we realized.
Nixon Tuesday night branded
Kennedy "utterly unknowing and
irresponsible" for saying in their
fourth TV debate that the admin
istration tried to persuade Chiang
Kai-shek to withdraw his Chinese
Nationalist troops from Quemoy
and Matsu. Nixon categorically
denied any such efforts.
In Advance Text
He made the statements in the
advanced text of his first paid po
litical TV speech, broadcast from
Cincinnati. But he left out the
whole section when he went on
the air. His press aide, Herbert
G. Klein, said Nixon ran out of
time. On the program, Nixon said
Kennedy displayed "dangerous
and erroneous judgment" on Que-moy-Matsu,
the U2 flight and
Cuba.
The vice president said in a
statement that the Eisenhower
administration had just about
closed the space gap and had
achieved great success in closing
the missile gap. He said both
were inherited from the Truman
administrating
After his TV speech, Nixon con
ferred for about 30 minutes with
GOP vice presidential nominee
Henry Cabot Lodge. "They agreed
the tide was turning their way
and they sensed a generally op
timistic feeling," Klein said.

HOW TO
MAKE YOUR
HEATING
DOLLAR
GO FARTHER!
Make certain your
house is well insulated,
and thnt your doors and
windows are weather
stripped. This cuts heat
loss and gives you more
value for your heating
dollar.
Try to keep drapes
drawn and shades pulled
at night and in rooms not
in use because heat
passes readily through
window glass.
You can save heat by
closing otl rooms at night
where windows ars
raised. If the room has a
separate thermostat, set
it as near the ontsida
temperature as possible.
If your furnace has air
filters, keep them clean.
Mrty filters slow down
nir circulation and make
your furnace work harder.
