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."

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?

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.

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.

Contrary to popular belief, penguins are not exclusively Antarctic birds. There exist about
twenty-two species of penguins, ranging from the Antarctic continent far north to the Galapagos
Islands on the Equator, but none is found in the northern hemisphere. Strange as it seems, soma
tassil specimens measure seven feet tall.
