N IW S P A P IR P U B L IS H IR S ASSOCIATION EDITORIALS FREE PALAVER By Paul Hambock DON FABER SHOULD SUCCEED BRANCHFIELD Jackson County could do no better than send Don Faber to Sa lem to take the place of Ed Branchfield in the legislature. Among those available for the position since the resignation of Branchfield, Don Faber is perhaps the most knowledgeable per son in the affairs of Jackson County, its needs and interests in the state and as they relate to the state. Don Faber has always been an able man, but time was when his impetuosity outstripped his ability. But the development he has made in the four years he has been county commissioner has been good to see. Faced with county problems, he has learned to turn his impetuousness into good hard work and investigation before judgment is made. When Don delves into a problem to day there is nothing half-hearted about it—it is whole hog or none. He wants to find out what is best for the people he is working for. Don's theory of representative government is American to the core. As a commissioner, he has not been concerned about what he could get for him self out of the office, but what he could ac complish in the interest of the people who elected him. He knows that our econom ic system and our form of government can and has and w ill work together for the good of all concerned if proper effort is made, and he is willing to make that effort. He knows that good things— progress and development—don't come for free. So he looks for quality results at the fairest price. For our money, we had rather have a representative like that in our state legislature than to have the smooth schemer type who is constantly looking for a technical loophole through which he can pull in a bigger haul than his neighbor is able to get. We trust that the members of the Republican County Commit tee w ill give due and fair consideration to Don Faber's claim for the state representative job. If they w ill, we are sure they will make him number one on their slate of recommendations to the county court. Nor could the Court find a man who w ill put more honest effort and competent dedication into the job. CpULD BE HATFIELD HAS A LITTLE RESTRAINT J ’ Oregon's finie-fe'athered budget planners are somewhat disap^ jjointed over the budget submitted by outgoing Gov. Hatfield, te e m s that Hatfield has at least some sinful sympathy for Oregon taxpayers, and we can assure him that his fiscal suggestions are appreciated by at least some of us plain folks scattered over the state. In the budget he submitted last week for consideration by the coming legislature and administration, his reconmendations for school money at all levels are far short of the "new distribution formula” worked out and proposed by the lead huskies who are pulling the state's educational sleds. Doctors Mine a r and Llew elyn and their coterie of educational mathematics manipulators have figured out that unless we crash construct about 77 new half-m illion dollar stone-faced buildings from Brookings to En terprise in the next three years, our little ones arc going to grow up unable to sign their names with anything but an X. It's so sad to find this out. But maybe since Hatfield is going to move his kids to Washington, D .C ., he thinks that with only 25 of the new buildings the commonplace people of Oregon can at least teach our kids how to perform the socially correct mo tion^ necessary for daily teeth brushings. We gotta maintain our culture, yu know. Hatfield thinks that we could get by on an increase of about $20 million for the Basic School Support Fund over the next biennium. The State Boatd wants $70 m illion. When our noble educators socialize their feet under the plan ning table, turning their minds to our ignorant little people, their w ild-eyed compassion prompts pencilpushing the likes of which you can hardly imagine. And when the columns are toted up, look what a symmetrical mountain of paltry 40c dollars must be raised by tomorrow at sunrise if we are to turn out high school graduates twelve years from now with enough intelligence to give the properly recognized ziparoo to the frug or whatever counterpart of it may be in the vogue of conformity at that tim e. How on earth the Am eiican people ever got as far along the road to civilization as we are, is becoming more and more a mystery to us. Now we learn that the projected developments for the next 25 years must be rounded out and paid for by tomor row midnight, or Genghis Khan w ill overtake and rob us of all our pride and joy. And anyone who doesn't believe and agree with the program is against education. A few years back we were squares. Don't know what appellation the young set would apply to us this morning, but admittedly we get so fired up at some of these progressive goings-on that ft would hardly be ap propriate to say that we are "cool". At any rate, you taxsuckers better simplify th» gouge button on your tax pockets for the next biennium. FLEMMING AND THE N .C .C , By the time this gets into print, the State of Oregon w ill prob ably gain the dubious distinction of have one of its citizens named head of the National Council of Churches. The word dubious is used deliberately and admittedly could have various meanings. You may feel at liberty to put your own interpreta tion upon it. At least one «'♦he things we do mean by our use of the word dubious is with reference to the philosophies of the Oregon man who w ill head the NCC, Dr. Arthur S. Flemming, President of the University of Oregon. Dr. Flemming has been quite active in the NCC as a member of its General Board. The NCC's name formerly included "of Christ", since it is presumed to represent some forty leading Protestant Christian church denominations. One of Dr. Flemming's philosophies, as promulgated by him into resolutions on the part of the NCC, is recognition and "play« M ta H R M » 1 AND S M A L L _ B U SIN E SS ” By C.

The good Doctor doesn't deny that Red China is Communist, although a little research could show that he was among those who, in the late forties, assured us (uncon vincingly) that the Reds were merely an agrarian movement, much more important to China than Chiang Kai-shek's Christian« oriented effort at stabilization. Indeed, communism seems to have a rather favored entree in the liberal philosophy of Dr. Flemming and his fellows. He has never displayed other than a welcome mat to such men as Cus Hall, chief American Commun 1st, when they cam e to address the campus of our university. Here is a man at the head of a great organization which pre sumes to so believe in the authority and reality of Christ that it calls itself Christian. Yet they play up to and seek closer com munion and cooperation with the advancement of Communism, whose declared basic tenet is denial of Christian principles and enmity for Christianity's Christ. Christian Americanism believes that right and wrong, freedom and servile’degredation, are as opposite as white and black can be. But atheistic Communism teaches that murder and rapine and the mailed fist are perfectly 420 E Pine 8 to * DAILY ECONOMY MARKET CenS J F QUALITY GROCERIES FRESH FRUITS & VEGETABLES COMPLETE BEVERAGE LINE \ , o 9 S unday Ij UTTER S tth ° s than that rendered by Alger Hiss.” Dr, Roctow was close advisor to President Kennedy and Senator L.B.J. in 1961, - until Kennedy chased Russians from Cuba.

Cribble, Medford, Oreg.

Well, the TIDE TURNED and cou- . elisions are that we still have a 2-party system, "a system under which our nation has become the greatest the world has known!" So, Now What? Great the fall thereof???? Signs point that way, - unless ways are mended SOON, and mightily. One might also say, under which system the two par ties, one after the other, each when with too much power, helped to destroy a people, its heritage and its hope, devastate the land and rob future generations of their heritage of the most bountiful and beautiful land on this planet: Forests and their precious life of flora and fauna, clean and clear living waters, are mostly gone.

Karl Marx declared such doctrine and it is diabolical ly sacred to the Kremlin and Mao Tse-tung to this day, all soft talk to the contrary notwithstanding. Through such a philosophy the young people of our state are being taught that Christian principles are no better than Com munist tenets, that right and wrong are relative matters. The NCC has led in kicking Cod out of American education. We will not be surprised if we are once more labeled "extremist" be« cause we take no pride in the fact that the head of the NCC is also head of our State's foremost educational institution. By way of information, Dr. Flemming has had great collabor ation in our good state the past week as his fellow brotherly phil osopher, Nobel Prize Winning Dr. Linus Pauling dished out some of the same line of sophisticated rot to students of Oregon State University in Corvallis. Says he believes in the free enterprise system, BUT wants our wealth distributed on some basis other than earning— matter of right, you know. Also says the U. S. is waB*ng "an illegal, savage war" in Vietnam. We do hope that Doctors Flemming and Pauling heard what we heard the other evening over TV. Anita Bryant sang "THIS IS MY COUNTRY"—oh, so delightfully. It had been quite some time since such a staccato of electric impulses had run up and down our spine, while our pumper beat a hastened rhythm.
