MAIL TRIBUNE
A Signal Honor
Many of those who have observed the activities
attendant on student government day, which has been
earned on here for the .past seven years, have ex
pressed the opinion that young people throughout the
nation should be given opportunity to benefit from
engaging in similar annual programs. 1
Apparently Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge,
the great organization dedicated to the cause of free
dom and better understanding of the American way
of life, shares the belief for Medford high school, by
compiling and forwarding to the foundation an album
describing the project as carried on in this city, has
won one of the principal awards of the foundation,
A NNOUNCEMENT of the award comes at a most
"auspicious time for this is the day in this year's
program on which young people from schools through
out the county assume the duties of city and county
officials. By this first-hand experience in govern
ment, the boys and girls become better acquainted
with the American' way where men are chosen to
serve, not to rule the people. -
Winning of the Freedoms Foundation award is a
signal honor for Medford high school and, in a way,
it is national recognition for a most worthwhile activ
ity. '
ENTITLED to share largely in the honor and the
" congratulations are the Medford Elks lodge which
inaugurated the student government day and has
contributed much to its yearly success, and the city,
county and school officials who have cooperated so
wholeheartedly in the program. E.C.F.
How Right They Were
The following paragraph which appeared re
cently in the Mail Tribune's "Flight of Time" column
recalls an interesting bit of Medford history:
30 YEARS AGO ...
Feb. 10, 1925
(It was Tuesday) - .......
Medford merchants go on record in favor of installing ,
entrance arches over Pacific highway at both ends of town
"to give the tourists a good impression."
The Chamber of Commerce and the Crater club,
the latter a booster organization which flourished
here for some years, wished to erect markers on the
Pacific highway at the north and south city limits so
that tourists would be sure to know what city they
were passing through; ;. . ; .: , . .
"THE project was the subject of considerable and
at times stormy debate. Some of the more far
sighted citizens felt that no matter where the markers
were placed the city would sooner or later expand
beyond them.
How right they were!
Those who wanted-to
finally had their way and
i . ..i .
placed at tne intersection oi tne nignway ana mc An
drews road on the north edge of the city and at the
Stewart avenue and -highway intersection on - the
south. It didn't take many years for the official city
limits to overreach the markers, however, and eventu
ally they were removed. ' '
MO WAD AYS, 30 years later, there isn't so much
civic worry about whether tourists and others us
ing the highway are sufficiently informed as to what
city they are passing through. What worries the &y
fathers today is how to keen the borders shoved out
far enough to permit supplying the fringe areas with
water and sewer service and police and fire protec
tion. -:'.:.:-r' : :r:::J- '
City water and sewer connections especially, are
badly needed in some of the rapidly growing suburbs..
Well water and septic tanks constitute a health haz
ard where homes are placed as close together as is the
case in a number of the recently built-up nfiighbor-
hoods. E.C.F.

Viaduct Perils Park
To the Editor: Recent news
dispatches in your paper indi
cate that among the routes being
seriously considered by the State
Hignway commission for a new
freeway through the Rogue Val
ley is one which follows the east
bank of Bear Creek through the
City of Medford, with the por
tion from just north of Jackson
street to a point south of the city
limits to be elevated on a via
duct. It is honed that the neonle of
Medford and vicinity who are
proud of and enjoy our city park
are not going to sit quietly by
without voicing protests to the
City Council and the Highway
Department against this unnec
essary and undesirable spoilage
of our park and playground.
The route through our park
is unnecessary because, at this
time, while surveys are still be
ing made, practically any other
route could be selected. Could
any advantage to businesses in
the city be seen possible by
routing a freeway through the
park, one might conceivably see
some defense' for such a location
but, since the very purpose of a
freeway is to hurry traffic on
through a congested area, even
those persons who wish to stop
in Medford would have to leave
the freeway at the access points
at the north and south city lim
its. A route near the city but
not through it would bring about
the same results.
The reasons why a route
through the park is undesirable
seem too obvious to enumerate
- one needs only to stand on
the Main street bridge and look
north and south to visualize what
a small and crowded area
would be left after a 4-lane high
way bisects the park. The noise
of traffic, the vibration, the cut
ting off of sunshine would fur
ther shatter the restful atmos
phere now prevailing in our
park.
A freeway through Southern
Oregon will be wonderful, but
let's not route it. through our
park Please give: this , matter
thoughtful consideration and
make your wishes' known "to

- At present Japan is aligned

Matter of Fact
WHAT MAO SAID
Taipeh, Formosa The Chi
nese Communist government has
sent another solemn warning,
through diplomatic channels, of
their determination to conquer
Formosa at all
costs.
This time, it
can also be dis
closed, the
warning was
sounded by
Mao Tse - tung
in person. And
Mao spoke
when the For
mosa resolu
tion and N the

Joseph Aleof)
American guarantees of this
island were already staring him
in the face.
Tor these- two reasons, this
latest incident has even greater
significance than the previous
Chinese Communist boasts that
they, would' conquer Formosa
this year, which were made to
Burmese and Ceylonese leaders
before American policy was so
clear. Taken together with these
earlier boasts, the new warning
by Mao Tse-tung himself makes
a pattern. Whether or not they
are bluffing, the Peking bosses
are doing everything possible to
show they mean business.
The recipient of the . new
warning was Finland's Ambassa
dor to Peking, Karl Sundstrom.
The Finns evidently are regarded
in Peking as valuable diplomatic
speaking tubes, , for. on Jan. 6,
Chou En-Lai also had his word
to say to them.
The Chinese Premier appeared
at an official party honoring Fin
land's National Day, and took
this rather curious opportunity
to make a speech to Peking's as
sembled diplomatic colony. Chou
En-lai's speech was another frag
ment in the pattern already men
tioned a vehement declaration
that Formosa . had to be and
would be added to the Chinese
Communist empife..
Shortly thereafter, the Finnish
Legation was elevated to the
status of an Embassy and the
new Ambassador presented his
letters of credence on Jan. 28
He was then received by Mao
Tse-tung. And what should have
been a . routine diplomatic occa
sion was , transformed into
major r political episode, , when
Mao took Sundstrom aside to dis
cuss the Formosa problem.
HHAT Mao said, according to
authentic report, was marked
by the same intransigence that
the Chinese Communists have
been showing in all they say on
this topic. At considerable
length end with maximum em
phasis Mad developed the theme

At the "You Art There" of-

, "But we had to use that film
because none was taken of their

Dozier.
"You Are There" will follow
the same form at its Hollywood
version but with a flavor of
"Medic." Director Barney Gi
rard, former maker of "Medic,"
hopes to add a "more documen
tary, realistic" touch to "You
Are There."
"We did the transcontinental
railroad story in straight docu
mentary style as if we were
really there," he said. "We can
use more exteriors now, too. '
"I am happier working on this

defied the American guarantee
He ridiculed the idea of a ceasa
fire deal. In short Mao said the;.
Communists meant to have For-;
mosa, come hell or high water... :
As though to give added poimV
to Mao's remarks, there is im-.
portant news of troop movements
on the mainland. The picture of
ten days ago is changing. ' No
longer is the reinforcement -of
the Chinese Communist armies
along the coast confined to the
Yangtse river delta region, across
the water from the Tachen
Islands. , . - - :
The most significant: kind of
reif orcement, which is a move
ment of Korea trained units
equipped up to the high standard
of the Chinese armies in Korea,
has now been noted in Fukien
Province. Two additional divi
sions from the special Korean
category have entered this area
which directly threatens Quemoy
and the'Matsus. ; . -u -':'
It will still be some time be
fore the Fukien airfields can
provide the right kind of air
cover for operations in the For
mosa strait. But this movement
of two veteran divisions an al
most sufficient force, in them
selves, for an attack on the rather
lightly held- Matsu Islands is '
still a sign that cannot be wisely .
ignored.
What then is really behind
these troop movements and these ;
menaces? No one can say with
certainty. But one thing is very
certain, as is proven by the ex
perience of Ambassador Sund
strom. Finland, after all, has the
strongest Western sympathies de
spite the careful neutrality that
geog v imposes on her. when
Mao Tse-tung chose the Finnish
Ambassador to receive his star
tling confidences, he surely did
so with the expectation that
what he' said to Sundstrom
would eventually be heard in the
chanceries ! of - the Western
powers. And -o it has been,
causing no small fluttering in
these diplomatic dovecotes. .
The same rule applies to the
earlier Chinese Communist con
fidences to the Burmese and the
Ceylonese, as well as to Chou
En-lai's curious speech on the
Finnish National Day. Brutally
able men like Mao-Tse-tung and
Chou En-lai are not like the fat
boy in "Pickwick Papers." They
do not make frightening noises
for the simple reason that they
"wants to make our flesh creep."
And they dp not engage the pres
tige of their government by arro
gant words and acts : without
some serious purpose.
'
THE truth seems to be that tht
Chinese Communist, leaders
are carry ing 'on a carefully, cal
culated; war, of nerves, which is
all- the more effective because
the most ' significant : maneuvers
are made ' under the impressive
guise of diplomatic exchanges.
The prime purpose of the war of
nerves, quite clearly, is to
frighten Britain and America's
other European allies,' and thus
to isolate the United States On
the prejudice-ridden Formosa
issue.
Judging from this distance,
very , little' insurance is being
taken out in Washington against
this danger of being separated
from our allies. Perhaps the rea
son is that Washington thinks the
Chinese Communist war ,, of
nerves is just that and no more.
Unfortunately, however, one
cannot be so sure of this. For if
America can be successfully
isolated before "a final Formosa
showdown, this feat Will be
equivalent to a great victory in
battle before the real war even
begins. '
