Our Citizen-Servants
One of the proposals now being studied by the
state legislature would eliminate the unpaid state
liquor control commission, and substitute a paid, full
time commission.
There is also sentiment for doing away with Ore
gon's traditional unpaid commissions in other fields,
too, such as the state parole board and others.
would hate to see this tendency go too far. Ore
y gon has been well served by. high type, public
spirited men (and women), who, without pay and
only because they feel an obligation to their state,
undertake the often-unpleasant job of superintending
the operation of some state function.
Perhaps the suggestion to shift to paid employees
is motivated by a desire for "efficiency," perhaps be
cause it is thought that the state is asking too much of
her unpaid servants. Perhaps there are other reasons.
DUT whatever the reaons, they are not valid, in our
view.
The state board of higher education has called
upon the talents of men and women in all. walks of
life in all parts of the state, who have helped build
Oregon's higher education into a fine organization.
The citizens on the state parole board spend many
hours going over records and interviewing men, in
an attempt (more successful than -is generally ac
knowledged) to cut down the prison population, and
restore convicts to useful lives.
The liquor commission in Oregon has been re
markably free from the graft and political involve
ments which are attracted by the liquor business.
IN ADDITION there are the many boards and com-
missions for examining applicants for licenses in
one profession or another. With unpaid members
who represent differing points of view, it is possible
to protect the interests of minorities as well as major
ities in these fields of interest.
The public welfare commission has one of the
most difficult and heart-rending jobs of all appor
tioning limited funds to thousands of needy and de
serving citizens, while at the same time watching to
make sure tax funds are not foolishly spent.
Many others could be cited.
TO REPEAT -Oregon has
oiti7onf fimiils
and women of high character willing to serve, any
move to change this system
Help Wanted
-WANTED Young men and women for interesting,
stimulating jobs. Work in large, well-lighted rooms. Pleas
ant, intelligent, co-workers. Three-month paid vacations, ;
numerous holidays. Opportunity for advancement, and
automatic salary increases for good performance. Starting

Not bad?
Not bad at all. c
While the "want ad" above may gloss over a few
points which are not as favorable, in the main it is a
fairly good description ot a
begging, these days.
We refer, of course, to

W1
E have had things to
about some of the drawbacks m the profession.
But, despite salaries which may be generally lower
than those available in industry for comparable qual
ifications, teaching has much to commend it "as a life
work for young college or university graduates.
In addition to the more obvious attractions, such
as steady employment, job security, chances for fur
ther schoolings and so on, there is the undeniable (and
sometimes underestimated) force of intellectual curi
osity, which it is the job of teachers to inculcate in
their charges with a resulting benefit to themselves.
"THERE'S another thing, too. The jobs aren't always
easy.
Anyone who doesn't like a certain amount of hard
work and challenging responsibility wouldn't make a
good teacher anyway. E.A.

We are happy to join in the congratulations.
The observers do a difficult, thankless job, with
out pay, and it is one which, we are told, is essential
to America's safety today. -
IN THE cold war, it is probable that duties of this
type will be necessary for a long time to come.
And it is encouraging to note how many people are
willing to give up the hour or so per week to make
this nation more secure from attack.
It could be added that it is too bad that there are
not more who are willing to make this sacrifice.

Matter of Fact
-' THE ISLANDS
Taipeh, Formosa The essen
tial point to grasp about the re
treat from the Tachens is that
- it does not set
tle anything.
It was a way
of putting off
the evil day,
and perhaps
not even a
very good
way.
From a mil
itary view
point, the
Tachens of
Joseph Alsop
course had the'
great drawback of remoteness
from Formosa. Planes based here
could not prevent the strong
Communist air units in tha
Chekiang-Kiangsu airbase . com
plex from attacking the Tachens
at will, and worse still, from cut
ting off the Tachens from sea
borne supply.
A determined assault on the
Tachens was plainly being pre
pared. And in order to stop the
islands being starved out by air,
American naval air units and
bombers from Okinawa and
Guam would have had to strike
at the source of the danger, the
Chekiang-Kiangsu airbases.
On the other hand, the-craggy
Tachens were fortress islands,
offering no temptations what
ever to a planner of landing op
erations. Whereas the big island
of Quemoy, with its occupying
forces of a whole corps of Chiang
Kai-shek's best troops, is just
one big standing temptation.
Quemoy is as flat as a pan
cake. It is surrounded by one
long, continuing beach. It is so
close to the hostile mainland
that it can be attacked by a sim
ple sampan fleet any old night,
with no bothersome, big scale
amphibious effort. Andin the very
near future, when the Chinese
Communists have finished in
stalling heavy artillery on Wei
Tao point, every position on
Quemoy including the critical
ly important airstrip will look
straight down the throat of an
enemy gun.
In other words," if any islands
are to be defended, the Tachens
were quite as good a place to
start as Quemoy, which is with
in air range of Formosa, but so
vulnerable that the air can eas
ily count less than other factors
in a fight for the place. And
this means, in turn, that the re
treat from the Tachens has not
reduced the dimensions of the
military problem of "the offshore
islands.
HPHAT problem now has three
parts.. : ..There jis .. Quemoy.
There are the Matsus, 1 much
more lightly garrisoned tham
Quemoy but rather more defen
sible and much further from the
mainland, so that a serious am
phibious operation would be
needed to take them. And there
is Nanchi Shan, about seventy
five miles south of the Tachens,
at extreme air range from For
mosa, where the Chinese Na
tionalists have already stationed
a regiment and are . now rein
forcing with other regular
troops.
The Communists can now di
Spain Complaining
Economic Aid Hot
Coming Fast Enough
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Spain feels that its value to
the United States in the building
up of Western defenses against
C ommunist
aggression is
not properly
recognized.
Spanish
spokesmen are
com plaining
that General
Francisco
Franco's gov
ernment is not
getting the
economic aid
Charles McCann it is entitled to
under the Spanish-American Mil
itary Agreement.
From the purely military
viewpoint, the agreement is
working well. But the feeling in
Spain is that economic aid,
which is part of the agreement,
is being doled out with a very
reluctant hand.
American economic aid for
the fiscal years 1954-1955 totaled
$170,000,000. Spain feels that
other countries which are of less
potential value to the United
States are getting more. . ,
Spanish dissatisfaction has not
yet reached the point where the
smooth working of the military
part of the agreement is en
dangered; Agreement in Danger
, But it could reach that point
if the United States let the sit
uation drift.
Spain, with pretty good reason
regards itself as the great anti
Communist bastion of Western
Europe. ;
It occupies, with Portugal, a
peninsula which forms the ex
treme Southwestern corner of
Europe. If, in the event of a war,
Communist armies swept over
Western Europe, there would be
hope of stopping them at the
i
By Joseph Alsop
vert the force they were prepar
ing for the attack on the Tachens
to attack Nanchi Shan, the fall
of which will bring Communist
air and naval power down into
the mouth of the Formosa Strait.
If they wait a few weeks, until
they have completed their big
new jet airbase at Huang Yen,
they can be sure of air superiori
ty over the small Chinese Na
tionalists air force in any fight
for Nanchi Shan. Thus if Chiang
Kai-shek sticks to his announced
intention to defend Nanchi to
the death, the air battle alone
could be very costly.
Or the Communists can either
bypass Nanchi or combine an at
tack on it with an attack on
Quemoy or the Matsu Islands.
Here they would be chal
lenging the on again off again
American guarantee, which has
been given to Quemoy . and Mat
sus but not to Nanchi. They
would also have a much tougher
air battle on their hands. Since
they have only one airstrip,
at Foochow, that brings their
MIG-15s within range of the
islands off the Fukien coast.
None the less, some amphibious
buildup has been noted opposite
the Matsus.
Or finally, the Communists
can combine any of the opera
tions outlined above with air
attacks on Formosa proper,
which they have told the Burm
ese and other neutrals they
planned for this year. If they use
their Ilyushin-28 jet bombers,
the air defenses here are lament
ably inadequate. Thus jet bomb
er attacks on Formosa would
probably provide a kind of in
direct air cover for operations
against the Matsus or Quemoy,
THAT is the not very pretty
position minus the American
forces in this area. Worse still
the American forces on this side
of the Pacific, including the air
forces, have been so enfeebled
by alleged defense economy
that we must look to Peking like
the paper tiger that Peking radio
is always calling us. Even the
7the Fleet is a poor safeguard if
the Ilyushin-28's are redeployed
southwards into the potential
battle area, for these are not the
kind of landbase aircraft that a
fleet at sea can comfortably
challenge.
These jet bombers, which are
tne mam threat both to our
fleet and to this island, ara stiU
based around Peking as far as
is known. That fact, plus the in
adequacy of the Communist air-
bases in Fukien province, are
the two encouraging features of
the situation. But the IL-28's can
be redeployed already, and the
Communists may well believe
that the Foochow airstrip will
be sufficient for their needs.
, In short it is prudent to be
ready for bad trouble. Maybe
the Communists will hold their
hands this year. But they have
said they would not be halted,
And on balance, it is idiotic not
to be prepared, as an absolute
minimum, for the kind of prob
ing attack which will smoke out
American intentions and test
American resolution in this area
in a decisive and final manner.

Pyrenees Mountains which form
the frontier betwesn France and
Spain. 1
Politically also, Spain is an
anti-Communist bastion. There
are strong Communist move
ments in France and Italy. In
Spain there is none. France and
Italy are weakened by recurrent
cabinet crises. Spain has a one
party political system, with
Franco as undisputed leader.
In fact, it was Spain's position
as a ''totalitarian" country
which kept it for years outside
the Western defense set-up. The
United Nations even boycotted
it diplomatically for a time after
World War II.
. But the steady . encroachment
of Russian Communism in
Europe forced a reappraisal of
policy. The Western Allies
started to realize the potential
value of Spain with its stable
government and its army of
300,000 or more men behind the
Pyrenees.
Diplomatic Boycott Lifted
" The .diplomatic boycott was
lifted, and after long negotia
tion a Spanish-American Mili
tary Agreement was signed on
Sept. 26, 1953.
It provided that the United
States should get both air and
naval bases at strategic points
all over Spain, in return for,
military and economic aid .
These bases are being de
veloped steadily. There are to
be air bases in the area of
Madrid, in the center of Spain,
in the northeastern part of the
country, and in- the southwest.
There are to be naval bases on
both the Mediterranean and At
lantic coasts.
American military men are
frequent visitors to Spain, and
the United States is equipping
the Spanish army and air force.

Says It's An "Unfair Law"
To the Editor: The article pub
lished Feb. 11 entitled "Oregon
Relation Responsibility Act De
clared Invalid," deserves some
consideration. We agree with
Judge Lonergan, the law is "un
reasonable," unfair and unjust
for the one member of the fam
ily that is imposed on.
There should be some adjust
ment : made so each child is
equally responsible. Also some
deductions allowed such as
taxes, insurance, income tax etc.
before the income is established.
The present arrangement
makes us pay tax on the same
money twice. With high cost of
living and hig taxes already its
about all a working man can do
to live and make payments on a
place.
We hope legislation will make
some changes in this law.
I urge everyone that is af
fected by this law to write their
Senators, Representatives, and
Welfare committee, suggesting
they look into this a little deeper
and make changes so it will be
on a more equal basis. Do it
now before it is too late.

Wants New County Court
To the Editor: I think it about
time some of our citizens made
a concerted effort toward a
more equitable distribution of
road funds etc.
I cannot, of course, know how
much taxes andor gasoline is
sold in Jackson county but I
think I can say that it is not
being properly distributed.
For example, the people
Butte Falls purchase, on a
monthly average about 2000 gal
lons of gasoline at our local sta
tion meanwhile paying a tax at
$.08 per gallon of $160.
Most of this gasoline is used
not between Butte Falls and
Medford but between Butte Falls
and Prospect and on Butte Falls
Fish lake roads.
We seldon . see such a thing
as a gravel truck (County) on
these roads and on one stretch
of road . in particular the mud
has been axle deep for approxi
mately two months, the surface
cf the road is from 6 inches to 3
feet below the surrounding area.
On the vary limited bits of road
where a bit of gravel is placed
it usually turns out to be
volcanic sand, very - soft and
light in weight, suitable for a
private road but very little else.
If our County court cannot get
better results lets change the

The High Hatter
By GEO. N. TAYLOR
A Western girl is working her
way through College here in the
East. A friend who wanted her

homey Christ
mas wrote to
a woman of
large income
who lives in a
great Colonial
home. She bid
the girl come
and spend the
day with them,
not only to
dine with them
but also to enjoy the place.
Days passed. The young wom
an did not answer the invitation,
nor did she come in at any time.
The big hearted woman thought
that the girl might be sick so
she wrote her twice. But the
young miss did not reply. She
continued to High Hat the
woman.
"... Before you blow up at the
thought of the girl high-hatting
this woman of big heart recall
how you yourself high-hat God.
You sinned and the Bible teaches
that the wages of sin is death.
But God sent Christ to die for
you and wash your page clean.

In The Day's News
A week or so ago, while at
tending a meeting in Spokane, I
spent a fascinating afternoon at
the Inland Empire Paper Com
pany's mill. I learned, among
other things, that a decade or so
ago the mill's owners were look
ing with considerable apprehen
sion toward the future.
. Why?
Well, paper is made out of
trees, and a decade or so ago the
supply of trees in the Spokane
area was decreasing rapidly. It
looked like the end of the mill
might be in sight for the simple
reason that the end of its supply
of raw material might, be in
sight.
' It was the old story of cut
out and move out.
'THERE has been a change.
A startling change.
The owners of this mill now
look forward to the future with
confidence. They anticipate
steady and consistent increases
in its capacity. In the course of
time, they will replace it with a
new and more modern mill.
They know now that it is a
PERMANENT enterprise.
YjTHY this change?
The answer is simple.
In the Spokane area as ALL
OVER the state of Washington
people are beginning to look at
trees in terms of FIBER rather
than in terms of rough boards.
In the manufacture of rough
boards, only a small part of the
tree, relatively speaking, is uti
lized. The rest is wasted. In the
manufacture of products made
of fiber, a very large proportion
of the tree is utilized. Rough
boards require old, mature trees.
Fiber products can use trees of
almost any size. Particularly, it
can use YOUNG trees. In its
youth a tree grows more rapidly
than in its old age.
HHHE result of the use of trees
- in the form of fiber, rather
than in the form of rough boards,
has been to extend enormously
the life of the timber stands of
the area.
THERE has been two interest
irxtf ' rtewlnnmBrite In firm,
kane's new trees-as-a-source-of-
fiber economy. One is the dis
covery that bug-killed timber
makes just as good plup and pa
per as healthy trees.
You must have noticed .that
logs cut from bug-killed trees
have a bluish ring several inches
DONALD W. RUBLE
Maico-Trained
Hearing Aid Technician
JT
WHO IS DONALD W. RUBLE?
He owns the Maico Hearing Service, one of Portland's most
modern and best equipped hearing aid offices located at
415 S.W. Broadway (next door to the Liberty Theatre). He
has been fitting and servicing the hard of hearing with Maico
instruments exclusively for the past nine years,
CAN HE FIT HEARING AIDS PROPERLY?
Ruble is a factory-trained technician, having passed the
examination required by the Medical Accoustic instrument
Company on hearing and hearing problems in order to suc
cessfully understand and fit Maico Hearing Aids. The other
members of his staff also are Maico-trained technicians, suc
cessfully completing a refresher course every year to keep
up with the new developments and advancements made in
the hearing aid field. At present these technicians include
Mr. J. R. Culver, Mr. Ellsworth Breen and Helen Cabe.
WHAT HEARING AID DOES RUBLE DISPENSE?
Maico, the most trusted and respected name in the hearing
aid fiejd. Over 90 of all hearing tests made in the world
are made on Maico built instruments, including every ear
specialist in Oregon and Southern Washington, public schools
and schools for special education in teaching the deaf, the
University of Oregon Medical School and many others. HUN
dreds. of, hard of hearing persons in this area wear Maico
hearing aids. . . , .
DO MAICO HEARING AIDS REQUIRE BATTERIES?
No. Maico hearing aids are transistor instruments, using tiny
" energy cells the size of a dime and operate for- less than a
cent a day or about $3.00 per year. Maico aids are the workTs
smallest, weighing only an ounce, and are worn in a lady's
hair, with no cord on the neck and positively no clothing
noise, or as a man's tie clasp. ;
ARE MAICO HEARING AIDS SOLD ON TERMS?
Yes. Your old hearing aid will serve as a down payment, or
an extremely small down payment will suffice. Monthly
payments run about the cost of batteries in a vacuum tube
aid. Low bank rates are available.
CAN RUBLE MAKE EVERYBODY HEAR?
No. Many hard of hearing people can't be benefitted by
hearing aids. He will test your hearing and will tell you to
what extent you can be helped by a hearing aid. But hearing
aids must be fitted for one to understand. Trying to hear on
an aid that doesn't fit is like trying to see with someone
else's glasses. : . v -
DOES RUBLE CHARGE FOR HEARING TESTS?
No. He wUl test your hearing without cost or obligation. If
a hearing aid won't benefit you, or if you decide you don't
want an aid, he won't try to high-pressure you into buying
an aid.
If you can't meet Ruble at the time and place indicated above, fill
nut the coupon below and mail to him and he will call at your
home for an examination of your hearing. Stop your frustration
and embarrassment with good hearing. A hard of hearing person
is a lonesome verson and is often a problem lor his family.

lumber. But it doesn't seem to
affect their value for pulp. It
might almost be said that it in
creases their plup value as the
paper made from them is whiter
than paper made from healthy
timber. Perhaps the bluish tint
works in the same way as blu

Anyway, these bug- killed
trees are regarded good raw ma
terial for pulp. You see great
docks of them stacked up around
the mill.
fTHE other new development is
jackpine (lodgepole.)
Until very recently, jackpine
was regarded as a liability rath
er than an asset, as it cluttered
land that might otherwise have
been devoted to more useful pur
poses. Jackpine is now regarded as
one of the most valuable pulp
woods in the West. In the Spo
kane area, it is pinch - hitting for
other woods, now in sharply de
creasing supply, as a raw mater
ial for pulp, and is proving per-,
lectly satisfactory for all uses.
Jackpine is helping to push weU
into the future the time at which
this Spokane paper mill might '
face declining supplies of raw
material.
