Festival of Arts To Be Repeated At SOC Next Year Ashland A decision to repeat the recent festival of arts again next winter at Southern Oregon college was made last week-end when the faculty planning com mittee reviewed results. Glenn T. Matthews, assistant professor of music and chairman t)f the festival, reported that favorable audience reaction in fluenced the 11-man board to make the event an annual affair. More than two thousand guests attended the six programs spon sored by the departments of art, music, drama and physical edu cation. Suggested , additions to next year's festival included presen tation of an outstanding speaker to lecture in one of the major art fields. It was also proposed that an old fashioned oratorical contest might also have appeal. Professor Matthews said ten tative date of next year's pro gram has been set for the final week of February. It was be lieved that presentation of a fewer number cf activities might be scheduled more easily. 'ASSOCIATIOM Editorial Correspondence San Francisco, Feb. 24 Left Medford In a snowstorm, which continued until we reached Redding. But everything was on time, warm and comfortable. As usual had trouble with the bags at the Ferry Building where for some reason unknown, the red-caps (who charge 15 cents per bag. and want a fat tip besides) refuse to carry bags to the taxis. As the cabbies are scarce at 11:30 p.m. and anxious to get to bed, it is always a job when you travel on the "Daylight" to get to your hotel before midnight. (Something should be done about this, Bob.) As usual the trip on the train to Dunsmuir was comfortable and relaxing. Only halt a dozen passengers leaving Medtord. but had a carload when we arrived and among them something NEW a family of six, papa, mama and four children (the youngest in a basket) got aboard at Shasta City after playing in the mow for the first time in their lives. And this trip was preliminary to one abroad "wanted to see how it would work," the very attractive young mother explained. "The children were crazy about the snow and we all learned a lot. The baby in the basket certainly did dark eyes, a gay hair do, pink cheeks and all. Wide-awake most of the time, gteled and smiled, never a whimper! "Papa" looked to be In his late 30 s. refused to wear a hat In spite of while he acted as nurse and photographer extremely competent we should guess, in both directions. Would like to see his movies of the canyon as we approached Dunsmuir a fat do among the trees nosing into the deep snow for food, was one picturesque fea ture one of the most attractive stretches of scenery between Portland and San Francisco, but the SP has never even trwntioned it. And our guess is, never will. Everyone on the train, including the friendly crew, were etMV scious of the fast-approaching termination of this service zero hour Tuesday the 26th. All felt genuine regret, and the members of the crew particularly, resentful. One of the latter had very marized as follows: "The SP has merely pulled another fast one. in its greedy scramble for better and bigger profits. That hearing it Dunsmuir before the California state railroad commission was a farce. They put all expenses of the train Into the pot on one side and only about 5 of the revenues on the ether, leevng the mail and express revenues out entirely. Abo the fact this train is only a feeder a part of the 'Daylight operation between Portland and San Francisco and should therefore SHARE in the rich profits of that operation. "Why are the people so dumb why didn't they get a smart lawyer to represent them at the hearing. Instead of a few Chamber of Commerce representatives? e e e e e At this point your correspondent broke in to Inquire why the railroad brotherhoods, who were see that this was done, if no one "Search me," was the answt-r. lawyer too. The SP had three of them on the Job with enough argu ments and statistics to stop every train in the system. Cutting off this train not only will lose them But can they see it? No! They can operators the SP management are good Wall Street bankers and not so good at that. There's a guy right in Dunsmuir who could take tins line and put it in the maybe. But he wears overalls, has been east of Ogden, Utah. The SP do that!" Needless to say the representative of the press was in com plete sympathy with this representative of the raiLoar! brofier- hood. But we have to admit that some of his remarks had to be taken with some of the well known sobering crystals of sodium chloride. Take the following, for example: "I hear the people are pretty sore around Medford. Well they are sore all over Southern Oregon and this part of Cali fornia. And they should be. But they won't have to worry too long. (Here it comes!) I hear the Great Northern has a terminal at Camp White now, and soon will be operating to Klamath Falls with a hook-up with the Weyerhaeuser lum ber interests. When the G.N. and the Weyerhaeuser get together, look out Rip Van Winkle somebody is going to wake up!" OR ELSE!! Well if that ia tm nr nrta-half m, l. - va. v vise; f III VI UTsllrC ihould be on Paffe On with a hnvxar Ran rtsTtr Bafts! aI I .me aa Tabaa a vvn with an alligator brief case and v .... ,1 : . , : Hut we couldn't believe it and so remarked. The rejoinder was, quote: "Well, that's what I heard, and it comes pretty straight. It's going to be just a logging operation first but it won t be long before its fast freight passenger, and EVERYthing FIRST class! Just wait you'll find out." "Hot Dickety Dog!" "OK GENERAL hi-tail it for Wh RFC. and DONT WAKE US UP!" To return to the Ferrv Builrii taxicab drivers are also great why more of them don't enlist because they can't AFFORD it. Eut they. too. are inclined than strictly accurate, at times. Last night s taximan, for example, gave us the lowdow n about the traction strike which made such a mess of this metropolis be- "It's all the fault of this big stuffed-shirt in the City Hall," said he, keeping one eye on the midnight traffic, and talking out of the corner of his mouth. "He tells the boys they have to work 12 hour shifts to save the city money and they can t strike, because they are public employees. When they do strike he fires 'em the So and Such! He barely got elected last fall, he wouldn't get anything but a big boot in the rear if he ran again." see 1$mi?.T true' But u PPea- by the morning papers "Hiz Honor" did not ask for the boys to work over 8 hours, but only that they spread the 8 hours over 12 hours instead of one con secutive 8-hour period. Somewhat different! R.W.R. Harvard Men Yale Grads in Chicago 0J.r9 A study of what's what in "Who's Who" dis closed Monday that Harvard graduates have an edge on Yale men. The 1952-53 edition of "Who's Who," released Monday, is the largest ever published, with bio graphical sketches of 44,460 per sons, including Santa Claus. The subjects range from screen star Margaret O'Brien, 15, to Ed ward A. Uehling, 103, a West Allis, Wis., engineer. Michigan University Third There are more Harvard grad uates listed than Yale men. The University of Michigan is third; Princeton, fourth; Columbia, fifth; West Point, sixth; Cornell, seventh; .Wisconsin, eighth; An napolis, ninth; and the Univer sity of Chicago, tenth. Santa Claus is listed for the first time, but his real name is not listed. Santa actually is a Pacific coast man who for sev eral years has been an anony mous philanthropist. He recent ly bought a 5,000 bloodmobile for the American Red Cross and gave two children $2,500 each towards their educations.

Bat Uwy are completely unable to oVro what to do about what actually Is happmirif, narrvty. the In definite prolneitatson of :h Ko rean truce talk. Tiit t the huge, glaring gap in A merman policy. The truce talks have already, after alt been go lor weary month after weary month, witn no end yet m nM When ever they seem to move in the direction el agreement. an4 the usual "tentative optimism" be gins to bo expressed tn Tokyo or Washington, some entirely new issue ts injected by th Com munists. Vtshinsky peopo that the talks be moved to the United Nations, or the Chine? Communists insist that Russia bo accepted as a "newtraP na tion to police the truce. The Communists know that the United Nations cannot con ceivably accept these proposals. Yet they can quite easily con tinue to inject such Issue, sim ply to keep the truce talks go ing, and to give the negotiator at Penmunjom something to talk about What thn rtESE reporters hare asked this question many times. and never found an answer. The plain fact .seems to be that there is no answer. The pelT mak ers have simply shuddered away from the nightmare choice which confronts them. For either they must accept the indefini'e pro longation of a strategically Im possible situation, with a great proportion of this country's still inadequate military strength committed In an en posed posi tion, on a peninsula of little strategic value. Or they must be ready to take unilateral action to force the issue, accepting both the risk of general war and the alienation of all this country's allies. The terms of any truce, if not actually dictated, are generally negotiated in response to the superior pressure of one side or the other. And no such pres sure on the Communists now Ixisl. since the 30-day ground cease-fire was. probably mistak enly, agreed to by the United Nations negotiators. On the ground. Communist troops are now' well dug in, expending ti tle or no precious material, and In excellent jump-off position in case of general war. In the air. Amerdican losses from ground fire and air com bat together about equsl Com munist losses in air combat alone. Moreover, the Soviets may well be content to trade the loss of a few dozen MIG-1 5. out of well over 5.000 produced yearly, in exchange for the val uable air experience they are gaining. Already, the structures of the MIGs have been strength ened as a result of this experi ence, and they have been equip ped with more effective fire power. Under such circumstances. why should the Communists make such a truce? Hope of successful negotiation of a truce has not, to be sure, been aban doned. The nearest the policy makers have come to filling the gap ni American policy is to con sider very carefully Just how far we can go in negotiating the real issues which still remain. e e e rTHE prisoner issue is the most - Important, and here it has been decided that we cannot. with honor, go so far as to re turn to certain death the Chi nese and Korean prsoners who have signified that they do not wish to return to the Commu nist paradise. Yet we mitht con front the Communists with a face-saving cccomDlished fact. simply by announcing that these prisoners have been placed ia By Xoland Cot Jeeaa -4 the wrong category and are to be considered hence forth as po litical refugee. Precise, approved plans al ready rsttt also for carrying the war to the Chinese mainland, if the Coenrnuntsts again attack in force. Plans for withdrawing most American lorrrs from Ko rea If a ssjerrssful truce Is ne gotiated, to the acrompanimcnt of a flat warning that renewed aaj act of war. have also bevn evolved. Yet the great gap still remams what to do if the Com munists neither attack nor make a trvce. umply disregarding the real kasurs while Injecting an rndlrta series of unreal issues. Thts ta what has been happening lor months and Is still happen ing While no pressure Is brought to bear on the Communists to make a truce, this may go on happening quite indefinitely. Thus the time may soon be com ing whew the United States will warn the Communists that either a true Is negotiated on a rea sonable basis, or the war will start again in deadly earnest. The risks of such a course are very obvious and very greet. Our allies, especially the Brit ish, will violently oppose the taking of these risks. Yet this country mply cannot indefi nitely commit much of Its mili tary strength to the Korean pen insula. And somehow, some day soon, the great gap In American policy must be filled.

Early tart December In a pub lished communication to The Mail Tribune, the board of direc tors of the Girl's Community club appealed to the general public for the adoption of a sim ilar plan for a "unfted" fund drtv for Medford as a substi tute for the continued failures of the Medford Community Chest. Clippings of an editorial from a Phoenix. Arizona, newspaper were sent to you in January showing a 48 Increase over previous Community Chest col lections by a new Phoenix plan railed "United Red Feather Fund." This fund Included 22 or ganizations, the large majority being local service agencies. Editorial comment gave entire credit for the success of this drive to a revival of old time "community spirit." Again may I quote from a news story submitted by the Girls' Community Club board and printed in The Mall Tribune August 28. 1951. "We feel the recent action of this board (com munity chest) in eliminating the budget of the Girls Community club In Its entirety, after 20 years of participation, does not promote a united community spirit which is the objective of all Community Chests." It is not our purpose at this time to drag out past grievances but rather to expend our ener gies towards a better under standing of methods of financing community welfare agencies so that, as we said once before, we may "regain our pride la our community."

Board of Directors Girls Coramuni'y Club Medford, Oregon Punta del Ano Nuevo, the ex. trem southwest point of San lateo county, was so named by Sebastian Vizcaino la 1801. i In lhe Day's Hews By FRANK JENKINS This is another of those days in the news. For example: Dr. David E. Davis, associate professor of the Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health, ! tells a questioning reporter that I Baltimore cats are just plain 'lary. He estimates that 60,000 1 .4 MIum i-Aam f Vi straits. He guesses there are an equal number of rats. So. he says: "If the cats would catch one rat each, Baltimore's rat prob lem would be solved. But they don't. Studies by the Hopkins experts show rat mortality in any given neighborhood is the same, whether cats are there or not." NOW there's one for the book. If cats don't catch rats, why have rats? If the Baltimore cats don't catch rats, when there are plen ty of rat present to re caugnt, WHY NOT? . IF YOU ask me. I'll bet some body's FEEDING these Balti more cats. Some do-gooder. Somebody who thinks it's anti social to make cats go out and catch rats in order to keep from starving. In that event, WHY SHOULD A CAT GO AND CATCH A RAT? If I were a cat and somebody kept me comfortably fed all the time with nice milk that I didn't have to work or, I'll be darned if rd spend my time lying in front of a rat hole waiting for some fool rat to come out and get himself caught, Fd tank up on free milk and go lie in the sun. HAVE you been noticing all the trouble we've been hav ing trying to talk these Euro peans into getting themselves some guns and such to use in defending themselves if the Rus sians should go on a bender? It has been quite a Job. and so far we don t seem to have made progress enough at it to be dis cernible by the naked eye. Why? There's an interesting dispatch from Lisbon (Portugal). It says: The United States agreed in principle today to give France AN ADDITIONAL 570 MILLION DOLLARS in aid tc help her fulfill her rearmament pro gram." 1TE-E E-E-L-L-L-L When you come right down to It, how different is that from the cat situation in Baltimore? LETS put it this way: On the word of unimpeach able authorities, there are lots and lots of cats in Baltimore. There are oodles of rsts. If the cats felt the old URGE, they'd go out and catch the rats. But they don't feel the urge and so they don t catch the rats. The natural cynical conclusion is that the cats must be getting fed without having to go out and catch rats. rIERE are lots of Frenchmen in France. They have proved over the centuries that when ever they feel the urge they can turn in and make themselves plenty of guns and such with which to defend themselves against their enemies. They've done it time and time and time again. But they aren't doing it now at least to any noticeable ex tent. Why not? Well, as long as Uncle Sard will come across in the pinches. why should the French get out and make guns for themselves any more than the Baltimore cats should get out in the cold, windy alleys nd CATCH RATS FOR THEMSELVES?

Taylor A blind woman came 20 miles afoot and was all bruises from falls. Others came six days afoot. One man hob bled 50 miles. At dawn Sunday, 52 were baptized in cluding two beggars and some opium sots. A few had heard the Gospel through Fam ine Relief Work but all were new crea tures through Christ j Jesus. For God sent Christ to seek and to save the lost. God wanted these for himself and he bridged the gulf be tween his holiness Geo. N. Taylor and their sin. It was that God had put their sins on Christ who died for them. They saw Judgement Day out and Eternal Life in. And with the new life, came heaven's peace, cheer and such hope as this world can never know nor give. Hear them tell others of then ew life and hear them pray just like First Century Christians.
