PAGE SIX ' MEDFORP MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1940 New Serial June 25 A swiftly-paced mystery romance, "Casual Slaughters," written by Virginia Hanson, will be the next serial story appearing in The Mail Trib une. The author is "a daughter of a retired colonel, and her brother is also a retired army officer and as might be expected her story deals with the army. The new serial will start June 25. Communications A Veteran Rtntmbm To the editor: Now that the new French premier hai asked for an ar mlstice, ii it not about time to apply the same vindictive ex pression! to Premier Petain and vice-Premier Weygand that the newspapers and England and the war realots of thii coun try applied to King Leopold of Belgium when he ordered the Belgians to lay down theii arms? namely, traitor, Nazi, 8th col umn, coward, etc. In reply to the letter In to day's Tribune by the Rogue River gentleman, he himself is endowed with the qualities that go to make dictators. He ad vocates investigating all those advocating "no-fight." In other words; you have got to do as I say or you are a 8th column ist; you have to think as I do or you are Nazi. You cannot think for yourself, I'll do that for you. He wants to investi gate everyone who disagrees with him, for nobody is as pa triotic as he, if his opinion dif fers. It is such as he who aug ment the internal strife he fears by assuming dictatorial rights and preventing sensible contem plation of a terrible situation. Evidently he did not partici pate in the last war to save the world for democracy. If he did and happened to be sent across he evidently has forgotten the Insults heaped upon the Ameri cans in England by the Tom mies. He has forgoten how barbwlre fences were erected between the English and Ameri can training camps and this fence patrolled by both nations with sentries with orders to shoot anyone who tried to cross. This was done Jo prevent Amer ican conquest of England before we were taken to France. Nor does he remember the insults of the English officers that were to train us and the near rebel lion that was alleviated only when American officers were again put In charge. I have not forgotten because I was there. Key Pitman's reply to Col. Lindbergh is another evidence of a dictator's denial of expres sing an opinion, hinting of Sth columnist influences. His ora tion it was nothing else did not reply to Lindbergh's logic but ran to sneering sarcasm that was not as subtle as Mark An thony's eulogy of Brutus but savored more of the highly glor ified patriotism of the stay-at-homes during the last European entanglement. It's easy enough to be patriotic when you can say, ''Let George do the fight ing," as is England's custom, but when" you happen to be "George" it's altogether differ ent. So I say, "Stay In your own backyard and if you don't like the rest of the world, fight when they start climbing the alley fence." T. C. Cox. age is done these men blatantly wave a flag and deport others. The traitors in Norway that did the most harm were men in high places. It Is time our own high place obstructionists were liquidated. The ax and block would suit me, but the demo cratic method is a purge in the elections. Where does the Ore gon delegation stand? C. F. Davles . Eagle Point. Spiteful Remarks. To the Editor: Last night Sen. Key Pitman replied to Col. Lindbergh's speech. Sen. Pitman cast as perions on - Col. Lindbergh's sincerity end patriotism and hinted about fifth column in fluence. His remarks sounded spiteful rather than like argu ments of an honest difference of opinion. Patience O'Hara Thompson. GIRLSlAYCAMP Deport Obstructionists To the editor: There appears to have been eighteen votes cast in the sen ate against the proposal to make American military equipment available for the allies, and this opposition is registered when the front line of democracy is crumbling because mechanized equipment Is lacking. Our material, if not used soon will become obsolete, and there Is a prayer on every lip that somehow we may help. hu. there are eighteen senators who are opposed to rendering any material-aid to the allies, pre ferring to write notes of sym pathy. They would not lift the arms embargo, they would not ex tend credit, they would no noth ing for the cause of democracy and national integrity save to obstruct and harrass every con structive attempt. In the face of this, we direct our attention to finding Inside workers among the men of the street. We ferret out a harm less religious cult who will not salute our flag, but would die before they would "Hell Hitler," and the house In a dramatic cloud of oratory vote to deport Harry Bridges and Hamilton Fish distinguishes himself in a glorious speech of denunciation. Fish has given Hitler all the aid he could by opposing the allies. Are we not approaching this matter from the wrong end? Why has no one proposed to de port our obstructionists con gressmen. There would be some sense in that. It is by now be coming apparent that by failing to give sufficient aid in time we are faced with the necessity for Immediate military aid or a period of Intense military pre paredness that will cost a fab ulous sum and end In an inevit able conflict. Now that Ult dam Girls 7 to 10 years old are in vited to attend the first day of this season's Day Camp, Wed nesday, whether they are Girl Scouts or not. Girls should ar rive at camp between 10 and 10:18 a. m. and register as they arrive. Each is responsible for her own transportation. Com mittee members, parents and neighbors are taking turns In transportation of the younger group. Each camper pays five cents per day to cover cost of handi craft material, use of equip ment, archery supplies and spe cial treats. Each brings her own lunch, such as outlined in the camp folder or one of her own choosing. Day Camp closes Wednesdays at 3 p. m, and campers are not permitted to leave the grounds during the camping period with out special permission from parents. Campers attending the Red Cross swimming classes or the school leisure arts classes in the morning and who report at camp for luncheon and re main the rest of the afternoon, will be given credit for a full day attendance and will be eli gible for perfect attendance awards. On extra warm days, local creameries will sell cold milk or fruit drinks during the noon hour. Day Camp equipment, tables, stoves, shelters etc., is all in readiness, provided by the City of Medford. All departments under the local city council are cooperating to make this community-wide activity avall ble for every girl desiring a camping experience. The Day Camp program is under supervision of the local Girl Scout Council.
