of politics is to discredit the

accusations. Can that be why,

Join the
PARENT-TEACHERS associations here and elsewhere ara now
observing "National Membership Month." P.T.A. organizations
of Medford and Jackson county,
local communities, are taking this opportunity to bring attention
to their program, which aims at closer unity between parents and
teachers in common problems of
Parent and teacher groups

It is difficult to conceive of a
system WITHOUT the cooperation
excellent record of local schools may be attributed, in a generous
measure, to close relationship between parents and teachers, made
possible by active Parent-Teacher groups.
TEACHERS, to be successful, must have the fullest cooperation
of parents, for the education of children goes on OUT of school,
throughout their waking hours and there should be harmony and
coordination between education at home and at school.
Likewise, parents, to be successful parents, must have a sym
pathetic understanding of the methods and problems of teachers
IF the right kind of relationship is to exist between the home and
the school.
AND so, right thinking parents welcome the P. T. A. as a means
of keeping INFORMED on educational matters; they have no
desire to use it as a means of usurping the functions of the schools.
Teachers also welcome this avenue of friendly relationship with
parents of their pupils, for problems of both are mutual the
teacher's responsibilities to youngsters go further than just impart
ing "book knowledge." Obviously, disciplinary and character
building problems have an Important place in every school room.
Thus, with informed parents and teachers meeting their prob
lems In perfect accord, the right IDEALS can be inculcated in
youthful minds and the KNOWLEDGE imparted with which those
ideals can be fulfilled.
THE philosophy of the Parent-Teachers movement is well ex
pressed by Virginia Merges Kletzer, vice-president of the
National Congress of Parents and Teachers;
I see In the parent-teacher movement a crystallizing of
publto opinion regarding puhllo responsibility to childhood and
youth. Thla la manifested not only In the public attitude
toward education but In the public attitude toward social stand
ards. It results In protective machinery In the community,
state, and nation; Juvenile courts, safety regulations, sanitation
control, and other health and welfare asrvlcea. It results In a
combined effort to curb, counteract, and, where possible, elim
inate those forcea In the community which are detrimental to
childhood and youth. It unites people for thoughtful planning
and for unselfish service and we see growing out of this service
and thla planning cleaner, more wholesome cities with parks,
recreation centers, and libraries. We see cities that afford
opportunities to hear good music and see good pictures, and not
only to hear and see, but to make music and create art. We
tee a countryside that la richer In opportunltlea for the rural
child, ao that he la no longer the natlon'a atep-chlld when It
cornea to educational and social advantage.
A MOVEMENT with such a philosophy should penetrate the
entire structure of American life. An organization that ties
together two fundamental American Institutions the home and
the school is certain to grow and to expand its practical, far
reaching work of social, spiritual and physical education.
Already there are more than two and a quarter million mem
bers In the National Congress of Parents and Teachers and the
faster this number increases, the sooner we can be certain that
America's youth the'eitizens of tomorrow will grow up with a
broader, saner, truer view of life's values.
IT follows that If parents of this county have not yet Joined the
Parent-Teachers association, now is the time to become a part
of this purposeful organization. A greater ACTIVE membership
will extend and broaden the horizons of the P. T. A. movement
which seeks to make better children, better parents, better teach
ers and better schools! H.G.

SALUTE TO THE
One hundred twenty chapters,
perhaps 170 local organizations
of the American Society for the
Hard of Hearing observe this
week as national hearing week.
This society, founded twenty
years ago is
concerned in
education, pro
paganda in the
interest of the
deafened and
in the preven
tion of deaf
ness. The so
ciety d I s t r I
butes valuable
pamphlets o n
deafness and
provides physi
cians and oth
ers professionally interested
with reprints of medical and
other scientific articles bearing
on the prevention and relief of
deafness. The society's head
quarters are 1537 35th Street,
Washington, D. C.
The society distributes a pam
phlet entitled "Hearing Through
Life" which every hard of hear
ing individual will find help
ful. Send a stamped addressed
envelope to the headquarters of
the society, or to the local chap
ter or society for the hard of
hearing in your community and
ask for it.
Hard of hearing folk who
join the local chapter or society
for the hard of hearing enjoy
and benefit by the atmosphere
of friendly understanding and
the special entertainment or rec
reation features these organi
zations provide.
Lip reading should be studied
by any one who is hard of hear
ing. If you acquire the skill to
read the lips it is a great relief
to the strain of trying to hear
conversation. Lip reading is now
taught in some evening public
schools, in some universities,
and in WPA classes in some
cities. Perhaps you can learn
where such instruction is avail
able in your community by send
ing an inquiry to the Society
for the Hard of Hearing at
Washington or to the local chap
ter, inclosing a stamped envel
ope bearing your address.
One of the most effective
ways to prevent deafness was
described in this column last
April, In an article on "Ade
noids and Deafness in School
Children."

Washington. Oct. 23. In one
antic fortnight, it is already
clear that, in the person of the
Hon. A. B. "Happy" Chandler,
Junior senator from Kentucky,
the senate has acquired another
mountebank statesman, and
majority leader Alben W. Bark
ley, another heavy cross to bear.
"Happy" is unusually inter
esting, for, besides being an ex
pert in mountebankery, he has
more than a trace oi the man
of destiny. He is in the senate
now bec.uisp old Marvel M.
Lo:an opportunely died, per
mitting Happy to resign as gov
ernor of Kentucky and have his
friend and successor, Lieuten
ant Governor Keen Johnson,
name him to the Logan vacancy.
He arrived in Washington with
the entire government of his
state, and it was beautiful to
see the beneficiaries of Happy's
political largesse gloating from
the gallery as their former mas
ter was sworn in. It was also
beautiful to hear that Happy's
wife, the charming Mrs. Chand
ler, had intimated that old Sena
tor Logan's demise was only
another instance of an all-seeing
providence's interest in Happy's
welfare.
Happy's first two weeks In Wash
ington have been replete with inci
dent. No sooner did his train pull
into union station thiin a special
courier appeared on the platform,
urging him to attend at the senate
at once in orur to be able to vote
for the administration on the Tobev
resolution, separating repeal of the
arms emhatyo from the cah-and-carry
plan. He was led up ths alsio

Eustachian tubes the ventila
tor tubes which connect the ear
cavities with the nose-throat pas
sage back of and above the soft
palate. Thickening or chronic
inflammation of these masses
(tube tonsils) is a common cause
of deafness or poor hearing in
school children. Some doctors
regard this condition, neglected,
as it is in most instances, as the
most common cause of middle
ear deafness in adults.
Accordingly in some well
managed schools now each child
is examined annually for this
trouble, and if the tube tonsils
are enlarged the child receives a
few mild X-ray or radium treat
ments, which has proved effec
tive in correcting the trouble
and improving the hearing.

1 the president, summoned Happy to
i the White House for an Interview
with the leader of his party. Happy
i no doubt remembered the last time
j he had enjoyed such an Interview,
when the president asked him to let
Bnrkley .ilone. Then Happy told the
! president that It was "his time now,"
1 and, when the president suggested
; that he was over-young to hear fate
whispering In his ear so loud, re
plied that he hful heard of a rather
. young man running for the vice pres
j idency once upon a time. At any
I rate, when the call to the White
, House came, Happy was s little ner
I vous, and actually asked Barkley to
accompany him and give him
strength.
He and the president seem to have
had a Jolly visit, for Hnppy emerged
with the announcement that ha had
opposed Barkley not from any per
sonal ferellngs, but Just because he
wanted Barkley 's Job. At about the
same time, he announced that h
would vote with the administration
on the arms embargo issue. A little
after that, he made news by saying
he wasn't Just sure how he would
vote, and now he has stated he would
adhero to his first Intention. Mean
while, he has taken the chair in the
senate, after which he told his friends
that the other senators said he "did
fine." Ha ha s triumphantly dis
closed the president's approval of
pome WPA road projects, the misuse
of which was his chief issue against
Barkley. And finally, having de
clared he would not make a speech
until he learned his way about the
senate, he has Jumped up during the
neutrality debate to give vent to some
loud platitudes about " American
boys," and how they should not fall

Communications
None Sincere
To the editor:
Have you by any chance
heard about the present great
American "Topic", "The arms
embargo"? Why all this dither
and shouting? About nothing,
it appears to me that both sides
want the same thing "Money"
Give them the money, and all
else may go to pot, from all the
frothy speeches I have heard,
there has not been one that has
the ring of sincerity.
And now; pop up a bunch
with foreign names, who pro
pose to go to war at once, and
seize everything in sight, and
to sell dummy guns for home
defense, they could not be oth
erwise or they would be used
for other purposes in a very
short time.
Alas, it has always been so,
we get immensely excited over
nothing and this state is brought
about mostly by our politicians,
the more noise they can make,
the more votes they think they
will get, and we the people, who
really do not have enough to
do to keep us busy at our own
affairs, get immensely worked
up about nothing.
There is no more danger of
war at this moment than there
is of my being sent to Jail be
fore bedtime.
Calamities do not come in a
hurry, and th-y usually cast
their shadows before them, and
there is always time to handle
them when they do come.
"RAISE THE EMBARGO"
and make a few more million
naircs. And this would be al
right, too, if it were not for
the poor devils who are down
in the mud, being shot at, no
matter what nation they belong
to.

There's a hen on this particular
diplomatic nest, but as yet no
one even professes to know
what will be hatched out.
(Supposedly, according to Hit
ler's bombastic announcement,
Russia and Germany are now
"conferring" on measures to be
taken to chastise the British and
the French for refusing Hitler's
offer of peace after the smash
ing of Poland. Stalin, it may be
taken for granted, is conferring
with HIMSELF on this import
ant subject: "Whose back shall
I stick the knife into?")

Ye Poets Corner
Farmer Jones and Hit Mule.
(By Russell Milhhell.)
A farmer owned a donkey, so
they say.
That strove to do his master's
will all day.
The farmer rode him out in early
morn.
And muzzled him to save an ear
of corn.
In evening, riding home again,
He put it in a high rail pen
A cup of grain, some moldy hay,
He left it there all night to bray.
One day the farmer did discern
The mule had sense enough to
learn.
Then Farmer Jones began to
school
The ass he'd taken for a fool.
It learned to stamp its hoof and
say
It wanted more and better hay.
It shook its head at musty corn
A smarter mule had never been
born.
And then, to cut a long, long
song.
An agitator came along.
He filled the mule with discon
tent, And put him up to devilment.
Then Jack went on a sitdown
strike,
And asked of Jones another hike.
Said Jones, by dab, he'd quit
that school
And go and get another mule.
But Jack rose up with eyes on
fire
And told the farmer whom to
hire.
He sneered at Jones, resolved to
win,
And Jones sneered back, but
then gave in.
But now, they say, the ass Is
uoss,
And Farmer Jones Is at a loss
Just what to do to get a mule
That s never been to any school.
Oregon
On Oregon's rugged winding
coast,
Great waves break like a mighty
host;
They seem to impart a secret
lore,
As dark blue waves spray the
shore.
Columbia highway surpass a
dream
God's masterpiece of beauty
suDremp.
Towering in whltness o'er val-
iey ana tree,
Mount Hood, a symbol ot
eternity.
A pageant of roses Is Portland's
pride,
Gracing each June like a lovely
bride;
The city, so proud, acts as the
Hi uum;
The air Is fragrant with rich
perfume.
Oregon Caves, long hidden
expansions
Are open doors in marble
mansions
Sparkling in beauty like glist
enintr frnct
A paradise that once was lost.
Amid the snow, spring flowers
awake
Around the rim of fr- ti.-
.... " .cr- lure,
Where Mount Mazama erupted
in violence.
Leaving a sapphire sea of
silence.
