THIRD TERM INTERVIEWS
A number of leading citizens,
and Juit many who have been
trailing tor years, spoKe ineir
pieces on the question of the
hour, as follows:
"Roosevelt is as good as elect
ed right now. Nevertheless, the
Republicans In their bullheaded
ness will Insist on an election. I
favor the President's oldest boy,
Jimmy, for the fourth, fifth and
iixth terms. Democracy should
look into the future."
The Chicago convention over
looked nothing, and even made
arrangements for this city to get
a new postmaster, in a couple of
years. If I am drafted to read
your postcards, I will resist the
draft Just enough to be polite,
and then surrender.
"I wish the high school hd a
football player, who could kick
a football as far as the White
House occupant does an Ameri

"The nomination of FDR.
means the continuation of the
present prosperity and for the
last eight years I have sure en
joyed the slump."
"I am a Young Democrat. I
fell out of my cradle last night.
which is why I limp, though the
doctor, who is a Republican,

"I am for a Third Term. I say
try anything once. Nothing ven
tured, nothing lost."
"I have been unable to find
anybody opposed to Roosevelt.
If anybody does I would like to
see the color of their hair."
"If I was Mr. Wlllkte. I would
quit right now, and go back to
work for the power company. He
would save a lot of wind."
"I predict the country will go
eraiy and New Dealic, as in 1932
and 1936."
"As a Republican. I feel the
third term would be too much
of a strain for any man. I doubt
If the President, or the country,
could stand another."
"I will cast my ballot for FDR.

"Sen. McNary has had six

"I am a lifelong Republican,

Support the Festival
FOUR entertainment treats are in store for those
who enjoy "Shakespeare Under the Stars," when
the sixth annual Shakespearean Festival opens in
Ashland August 9th.
And those who attended the creditable plays of
last year will recall that this festival slogan was liter
ally true. It WAS Shakespeare under the stars, with
a big moon thrown in for good measure. Players and
audience alike might well have borrowed Hippolyta's
words:
"Well shone, Moon. Truly, the moon shines with
a good grace."
If the Weather Man is in kindly mood, a crescent
moon will shine upon the band of Shakespearean
players three weeks from tonight when they present
the first of a series of dramas that will include
two of last year's favorites, "As You Like It" and
"The Comedy of Errors" along with two new plays,
"The Merry Wives of Windsor" and "Much Ado
About Nothing."
THERE are several reasons why these four festival
- presentations will be eagerly anticipated by those
who know their Shakespeare and those who do not
Careful not to lose the rich
of the famous plays, watchful that the atmosphere of
tne stage in the days of yueen Elizabeth will be re
tained, the Ashland producers are taking a few liber
ties, with appropriate apologies to Francis Bacon.

And, unless we are mistaken, the famous play

The festival group promise that their productions

and interesting experience this MODERN Shakes

T"HE scene of these DODular vearlv festivals is the
1 only outdoor civic Elizabethan theater in the
world.
Yes, Ashland enjoys this
rival of this unioue theater
Furthermore, a few communities can boast such a
cultural center where drama lovers may enjoy the
great works in dramatic literature.

publicity to Ashland and the Rogue River Valley.
This was especially true when they made their 1940
pilgrimage to the Golden Gate Exposition on Treasure
Island, where they performed like real troupers and
drew top headlines in California newspapers.
Another thing. The Shakespearean movement at
Ashland has become a genuine summer school for
drama, in which young folks of southern Oregon can
receive valuable training in acting and diction under
the direction of able, pxneripnrprl rlii-prtm-s Thnso
who show a certain degree
i.1 i i t,
me iesuvai piays.
It is valuable training that should, by all means,
be continued.
THERE are two tangible ways in which Ashland's
1 Shakespearean Festival movement can receive the
encouragement it deserves so well and needs so much.
First, by generous support of the advance ticket
sale.
Second, by attendance and appreciation of the
players' efforts.
Even by practicing strict economy the Oregon
Shakespearean Festival association finds it difficult
to make both ends meet financially. Some new cos
tumes are needed every season and they cost money;
there are scores of other expenses that can only be de
frayed by the sale of tickets.
This sale has now started. There should be a
goodly number of the "sponsoring membership"
tickets purchased at once.
So, although the festival will not begin for an
other three weeks, don't put off buying YOUR
tickets you will encourage a worth-while, cultural
movement and at the same time get full value re
ceived in really GOOD entertainment. H.G.

Roosevelt at the convention IiinI night.
For those who listened to the racket over the air got one im

We do not wish to suggest the celebration wa not loud and

Hut we would not only suggest, but IHXI.AKK, that the

contrast to the scene at Philadelphia, where the galleries niaiie
most of the noise and the delegates im' little, and also tflat
th ruthiisiasiii among the delegates was by no means universal,
or entirely spontaneous.
In fact, while that unearthly racket was going on and on.
and on, there were two rouch and tumble fist fights between
two factions of Texan delegates, not more than IS feet from
where your correspondent sat. And tliere was nothing half

Democratic ranks, which we are sure was not suggested over
the sound waves.
And Texas was not the only delegation that was divided on
this "Third Term" stampede, Montana also stood on the side
lines and when one of their number started to join the "pee
rade," he didn't carry a Roosevelt banner, but one for Senator
Wheeler. He didn't last long, however, he lost his banner and
most of his shirt.
Nor did the radio listeners have 'any idea, perhaps, that
throughout the hullabaloo Chairman Farley stood on the plat
form with tears in bis eyes, chewing gum sadly as he gazed at
the demonstration, refusing, unlike the permanent chairman and
speech maker, Senator Barkley, to make the slightest gesture of
approval or encouragement. (Barkley, in fact, was not con
tent with making the table-thumping speech that started the
riot, but whenever the racket threatened to subside, went to the
microphone and jelled '.'We want Roosevelt!" even though
it was then rapidly nearing midnight.)
Also if television had shown the firm and glowing jaw of
Senator Tydings as be defended the Maryland standard from
rough hands that would have put it in that cataract of Roose
velt sound, there would have been a different impression.
And there was Senator Clark, too. his face almost as red as
Barkley's, fighting against the pro-Roosevelt hordes as he did
against the Germans at Chateau
Four other delegations refused to jump in the ring, Vir
ginia (please page Carter Glass!) Nevada (McCarran perhaps
had something to do with that), Louisiana (shades of Huey
Long!) and Puerto Rico.
So the "joy unconfined" was not unanimous by any means,
although'we have an idea that over the air it sounded that wav.
But it WAS an enthusiastic demonstration, nevertheless,
and while the Tribune this morning tries to make out it was all
artificial, -a Kelly machine build-up, through button-holing the
state chairmen, and sprinkling Kelly's clacqners through the
audience there is no more truth to this than the claim made
in Philadelphia that the Willkie enthusiasm was "bought and
paid for" and entirely synthetic
Of the two that Willkie enthusiasm in the Quaker City was
far more genuine, and spontaneous, it also came from the
irrass roots, instead of from the administration's workers and
the candidate's delegtes on the floor. But the fact remains the
delegates to this convention are far more unanimous and more
enthusiastic for Roosevelt than the delegates to the Republican
cunrrnuun ever were tor vtendell Vtillkie:
Willkie won at Philadelphia not because the delegates were
for him, but because the people were, the people in the gallerv,
the people outside.
There is no similar evidence of a popular demand for Roose
velt at this convention, nor in the city of Chicago, the en
thusiasm proceeds entirely from the delegates themselves.
In fact, throughout that long-winded demonstration last
night, we kept our field glasses on the gallerv a large share
of the time.
Aside from the few members of the Kellv machine ini,,;ntf
Chicago policemen, who were doing what they could to keep
the ball rolling, the people in the galleries were sober and
silent, interested in the demonstration for a while and then
gradually becoming bored by it. In fact, the gallerv nearest

SUNBURN
Perhaps some Individuals do
burn more readily under expos
ure to the sun, and some ac
quire a coat of
tan with little
or no discom
fort. These pe
culiarities o f
comp 1 e x 1 o n
and physiol
ogy or consti
tution are as
u n changeable
as the color of
your eyes or
the shape of
your head.
N o matter
what advice or cautions health
authorities or physicians may
give, thousands of eager vaca
tion goers are bound to make
the attempt to get a fine coat
of tan all in a few weeks of
unaccustomed exposure to sun
light, and inevitably thousands
will suffer painfully and in
some instances seriously from
sunburn.
If your main purpose is to
build up health or vite, let me
remind you that this is most
effectively promoted by moder
ation and even restriction in the
matter of exposure to sunlight.
Action of the ultraviolet rays
(invisible, colorless shorter rays)
of sunlight on the body is at
least partly if not entirely the
chemical conversion of ergoster-
ol in the skin and superficial
tissues into viosterol which is
vitamin D. The viosterol or vita
min D is then carried in the
blood to the cells and organs
of the body that need it.
Whether this is the entire effect
of sunlight on the body I do
not know, but it seems suffic
ient, in view of our present
knowledge of metabolism, to ex
plain the beneficial results of
exposure of the naked body to
sunlight.
If the exposure is moderate
or at first, if you are not ac
customed to it, rather limited in
area of surface exposed and in
duration of exposure to less
than you think you can stand,
this chemical or physiological
action will proceed favorably
and your health and vite will
gain consistently. ,
On the other hand, if you
foolishly try to tan in a hurry
you are likely to suffer sun
burn, and that in itself inter
feres with absorption of the
ultraviolet (influence, not sub
stance) even if it does not com
pel you to avoid further expos
ure for the remainder of your
brief outing.

VERSUS TAN
People who plan or contem
plate a vacation of a week or
a month in mid-summer should
begin weeks or months before
hand daily sunbathing or at
least daily exposure of the
naked body to skyshine, if not
direct sunshine is available.
This will not only benefit health
and vite but it will enable one
to endure more intense sun
light in vacation time without
l burning.
I Some tanning, increased de
posit of the natural pigment in
the skin, occur along with or
following sunburn, but the more
'desirable smooth bronzing of
the skin is acquired by strictly
limited exposure at first, with
gradual increase in the extent
and duration of exposure from
day to day.
No rules can be laid down
for the guidance of all, but in
brief, never expose the naked
skin for more than five minutes
at a time to mid-day sunlight
in mid-summer, if you are un
accustomed to exposure.

BRINGS FORTH A LEADER
FITTED TO MEET IT.
Thus far history has Justified
thi conviction.
Washington arose to met the
crisis cf the Revolution. Lincoln
came out of the backwoods to
meet the cru:s of the Civil War.
Let us here be utterly fair.
Franklin D. Roosevelt came up
from an aristocratic mansion to
meet the crisis of the Great
American Depression. His FIRST
NEW DEAL (as differentiated
from the second and third and
the fourth New Deals) met that
crisis admirably.
WASHINGTON retired volun
tarily, in the midst of prob
lems as grave, then as our pres
ent problems are now. Lin In
was struck down by an assassin
at a moment of national turmoil
and peril. In spite of his loss,
THE NATION CARRIED ON.
It has remained for Franklin
D. Roosevelt to lose faith in the
ability of the American system
to produce a successor.
TTHIS nation stands today at a
' fork in the road. If, disre
garding the lesson of Washing
ton and Lincoln, it ABANDONS
the long-accepted conviction that
NO ONE MAN is indispensable
and that each new crisis will
raise up a leader qualified to
meet it, we shall be abandoning
that which we have known and
trusted and striking out into the
unknown.
pHIS writer still has faith in
the century and - a half-old
American theory, and believes
that Wendell Willkie is the lead
er raised up by NATIONAL
NEED to meet our present crisis.
But this writer is only one
Individual. His voice is only one
voice. His vote is only one vote.
The issue that faces us must be
decided by a MAJORITY OF
ALL THE PEOPLE.
If a majority of all the people
decides that this is the time to
cast aside tradition and favor
able experience and openly ad
mit that ONLY ONE MAN is
able to save us, we must accept
the decision and make the best
of it.
The principle of rule by the
majority, after discussion and
honest consideration, is too pres
ious to be even questioned.
THIS is no time for Jibes. It Is
no time for smart cracks. It
is no time for political tub
thumping. Grave perils sur
round us and appear to be com
ing closer day by day.
About the only way this wri
ter seems to be able to express
to his own satisfaction what is
in his mind is to say that this is
a time for prayer and for the
thoughtful, earnest contempla
