Sorry that wron't do. It's our problem too, even though we may live in an area where sewers are al ready laid and paid for; even though raw sewage doesn't run down the street in front of our house; even though we get pure water from a tap, rather than from a wrell situated near overflowing septic tanks and cesspools. THERE'S the health problem, first of all. The soil in many built-up areas of the valley, out side of cities and operating sanitation districts, has been contaminated by overworked and overflowing home sewage disposal units. The growth of housing and other development simply aggravates the problem. Wells furnish thousands of valley residents with their water. Some of these are in areas where the soil is carrying increasing amounts of sewage waste. High water can carry these wastes indiscrimin ately throughout the valley. TT's not a pleasant thought. If a resident of one of the problem areas were to get typhoid, or infectious hepatitis, or one of a number of forms of dystentery, the spread of the disease into epidemic proportions is not a far-fetched fear. Flies are notorious for carrying germs. And who knows but what the fly that lights on your food hasn't just come from a contaminated area? Although no one is just sure, yet, how poliomeyl itis is carried, flies are increasingly suspected. m m A SIDE from the threat to health, there's the nuis- ance. There are some areas of the valley where the odiferous wastes cause a real problem at certain times of the year. Raw sewage flowing down streets and by-ways is a nauseous thought. Contamination of streams and ditches is not an idle fear it is an actuality. And lending agencies, particularly those which operate under federal home loan guarantees, are in creasingly reluctant and rightly so to make loans for house construction where sanitation facilities are not adequate. This is an important factor in limiting' the healthy growth of the IF WE are tempted to be lazy and conclude that the problem is confined to the affected areas; we are wrong. Residents of Medford, whose health and well being are at stake, too, have a real interest in a so lution. But how is it to be accomplished? Sewage lines and disposal systems cost a great deal of money Some areas, unassisted, cannot afford them. Annexation of immediate fringe areas into cities which have sewage disposal facilities is only a par tial solution to the situation, for not all areas are lo cated where annexation is a logical plan. Sanitary districts are not an entire answer, either, because of the financial problem. And, at best, such districts can offer only a piecemeal attack to a prob lem which affects the entire valley.

CI HOW Cl Oe We hope that by a broad approach, the committees involved can come up with some practical solutions. Meanwhile, it would be well for us to keep in mind that it's our problem is, essentially, a community, despite city or district boundaries. Only a community solution can prove to be fully adequate. E.A. $1,000 Argument One of the most interesting of the public contro versies in recent years has been the hassle over fluoridation. We ve never been quite able to under stand the bitterness which arises every tirne the word is mentioned in public. But we've been an apprecia tive witness to the wordy battles which rage. Comes now a new chapter in the dispute. IN SALEM last fall, a big election fight was waged over "fluoridation. The proposal lost. But in the pre-election battle, opponents of fluoridation, calling themselves the "Salem Pure Water Com mittee" and the "Citizen's Committee Against Flouri datiorr," took out ads in the Salem papers in which they offered a $1,000 reward to anyone who4could prove their anti-fluoridation claims were untrue. A Salem woman has filed a complaint in circuit court. In it she claimed the $1,000 reward, maintain ing she has proved the statements to be false. ' TF SHE is successful (which we sort of doubt), it -- will open a whole new aspect of the continuing controversy. If she proves her point and collects the thousand bucks, it would harpoon the "anti's" most effective arguments. If she doesn't, the "pros" will i i ' i 1- j rl ji t i- ' f -i i" have lost what could have isoth sides are equipped with rafts of experts and reams of "evidence." It may be pretty tough to prove anything in a situation as confused as the fluoridation controversy. But it'll be fun watching. E.A.

Matter of Fact By Stewart Alsop ATLAS Washington In certain closely guarded West Coast fac tories notably the Convair plant in Calif ornia work is going for ward on an in credible wea pon known as ATLAS. Na tional survival may depend on whether the American AT LAS or the So viet version of the same ter first conquers Stewart Alsop rible weapon space. ATLAS is the IBM, or inter continental ballistic missile. Technical details are, quite pro perly, highly secret. But the es sential characteristics which an IBM must have to do its job are well known, and what fol lows has been vetted to make sure that it will not be useful to the Soviet intelligence. ATLAS is now just moving out of the design stage indeed, there are still arguments going on about its proper configura tion; and probably two or three versions will in the end be built and tested. But the general shape of the "bird" as missile men call their playthings, has been known for some time. It will be an immense bird, a iwo-stage or stage - ana - a -half rocket weighing 15 tons or more. It will reach, at maximum acceleration, over 20 times the speed of sound, and it wiU attain a fantastic height above the earth of something like 600 miles. The IBM is not a guided missile it is aimed, like a bullet from a gun, and in the long final stage of its journey through space" only the forces of Na ture guide it to its victim-city. It is this characteristc, to gether wth its incredible speed, which makes the IBM married to a hydrogen warhead a true ultimate weapon. For the best defense against a guided missile is to befuddle its guidance sys tem but the IBM is not guid ed. A man can protect himself against a bullet with a bullet proof shield, or by ducking out of the way. But a city cannot duck out of the way of a ballis tic missile, and there is no way of erecting a shield over a city. rpHERE WAS A time when -- ATLAS seemed a dream bird a weapon of the very distant future. But now impor tant technological break-through has been made. Here it is nec essary to be vague. But it can be said that new developments in bomb design have made it possible sharply to reduce the weight of the warhead. The importance of this can be gaug ed by the fact that, for every pound off the warhead, some thing like 100 pounds are saved in over-all weight. This greatly increases the range at the same time sharply reducing thrust re quirements. Moreover, ways have been found to nudge the bird on to a desired course, throughout the first stage of its journey. This has something like the effect of increasing the length of a rifle barrel, and thus increasing the rifle's accuracy. The nudg ing process has partly solved the once seeming insoluable problem of hitting a target half way round the world. And the power of the hydrogen bomb has, of course, simplified the problem far more, since several miles off Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer although under certain circum stances the use of a pen name or initial .for publication is permis sible.

Scantlin Corrects Date To the Editor: I just received from my good friend Arnel But ler of Medford the clipping of the picture of Washington school's 1915 football team which you recently published. It brought back happy mem ories of my boyhood in Medford for I played right tackle on that team. I believe however that the date in the caption is wrong. I hate to admit that it was earlier than 1915. But it was 1913. For I graduated from Washington school in 1914 and graduated from Medford high school in 1918. Some of the other mem bers of that 1913 "varsity" team probably have also told you about the date. I drove back to Medford for a visit last June and saw Arnel Butler and Earl York. I am sorry I did not know that Irish Cole man and Robert Norris still lived there. I would have enjoyed see ing them also. Medford was always a nice place to live. Last year we were amazed at the hundreds of new homes and the tremendous growth the city had made since we left there in 1920. The Rogue River Valley was just as beauti ful as ever. We wish we could move our clients and our adver tising agency out there right now. Venning Lingle Scantlin, Scantlin & Co., Advertising 612 North Michigan Ave., Chicago 11, 11L "7 f$ the target is close enough with a hydrogen bomb. uinaiiy, it also now seems likely that a solution to the "problem of re-entry" will be found. When a missile leaves space and re-enters the atmos phere, it tends to burn up as a result of friction, just as most meteors are incinerated before they reach the earth. This prob lem may be solved by a sort of a fiery strip-tease, in which all parts of the bird are progressive ly burned up, except for the firing mechanism and the bomb itself. By reason of such technical progress, ATLAS is ceasing to be a dream bird. It is an oncoming reality. But is it coming on fast enough? , The importance of this question is rather obvious. If the Soviets first produced this weapon in quantity, it would mean that not only our great cities, but our strategic bases as well our means of retaliation would be at the mercy of the Kremlin. And there is not the slightest doubt that the Soviets ever since the war have been making a very great effort in the field of the long range mis sile. Our own effort in this field is now at last large and effic iently run for which the Air Force, which has responsibility for all long range missiles, de serves credit. Total Air Force missile expenditures are now on the order of $700,000,000, and neither the ATLAS project nor the NAVAHO inter-continental ram-jet project are limited as regards funds. VET SOMETHING IS still lacking the sense of na tional urgency which has work ed miracles in the past. An au thoritative non-government es timate is that, given this sense of urgency plus an absolute pri ority, ATLAS might be in full production two years ahead of the most hopeful present sched ule perhaps even well this side of 1960. It may sound melo dramatic to say so, ' but those two years could make the differ ence between national life and death. (Copyright, 1955. New York Herald Tribune, Inc.) Mobilgas Test Cars Start Economy Run Los Angeles (U.R) Twenty two new stock passenger cars sped through the California- Ar izona desert early today on the first leg of the 1955 Mobilgas economy run. The cars were flagged out of a downtown Los Angeles gar age at 12:01 a.m. for the first lap of the 1323-mile journey. Their initial goal was Tucson, Ariz., 519 miles from here. An other overnight stop will be made at Albuquerque, N.M., be fore the cars cross the finish line at the base of Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs. The cars all were equipped with automatic transmissions for the first time in the economy run's history.

Harman Nichols Mrs. Fisher has spent a lot of time up there in Massachu setts introducing one rose seed to another and finally has come up with a blossom she calls "Love Song," so named, she says, "because a beautiful rose is like a love song." Love Song," the rose, Mrs. Fisher said, '"is a cross between "Peace" as the female parent and "Orange Nassau'' as the male parent. The mating was just like that, although it didn't happen by accident. Mrs Fisher and her ro3e experts had a proper blueprint. Roses are funny, the lady said. "Every seed in a rose hip (seed capsule) is different. And if you experiment, you can come up with a unique flower. That is what I did with the 'love song' and also some other roses."

If a human family ate in pro portion to a family of birds, the everyday grocery list would have to include something like 50 loaves of bread, 25 pounds of hamburger, 10 pounds of spin ach, 6 heads of lettuce and all this topped of with 30 doughnuts and a gallon of ice cream.

And Mamie Eisenhower, who was in bed with the miseries, got a bundle of them at the White House when it was learned that she could not attend the flower show.

'Roses Are Like People' The "Love Song?' of which she is. rightly proud, is bi-color. It is yellow on the outside of the petal and a salmon rose on the inside. As it ages, it changes in color to a salmon pink. And it smells like a rose! "Roses are like people," Mrs. Fisher said. "There are millions and millions of roses in the world, but no two of them are alike. They all have personali ties. There are identical twins in the rose family, but like all identical twins if you get to know them you can tell one from another." There are other things at the big show.

McCANN United Press Foreign Analyst It is possible that Soviet For eign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov is not feeling too good these days. Molotov may really, as rep resented, to be working close ly with Nikita S. Khrushchev the No. 1 man in the Com munist party, and Marshal A. Bulganin, the new Pre- Charles McCann mier, as one of a ruling Kremlin triumvirate. But that was an . interesting dispatch which the official Mos cow newspapers published last Thursday, quoting President Ti to of Yugoslavia as saying a statement by Molotov "does not conform to the facts." It could be the dispatch was published with Molotov's ap proval, as a political gesture to Tito. Grim Indications It is very seldom, however, that a Russian newspaper pub lishes such a criticism of a top ranking Soviet leader by a for eigner. Further, it must be remember ed that the first hint that Georgi M. Malenkov was going to lose his job as Premier came in newspaper articles containing criticisms of his policies. Molotov made a speech Feb. 8 implying that Tito had chang ed the policies which caused a break between him and the Kremlin in 1948. In The Day's By FRANK JENKINS Only extremely heavy snow fall in the next three weeks or a long wet spring can save the Columbia river basin from water shortage this year. The weather bureau and the soil conservation service say in their joint March forecast that rivers on the U.S. side of the Co lumbia basin are expected to carry only 40 to 85 per cent of the normal amount of water. The Columbia will carry about 80 per cent of its normal flow at Grand Coulee in Washington pnd about 75 per cent at The Dalles in Oregon. s MUCH for the Columbia Let's take a look at the water sheds closer to home to us of Southern Oregon and far North ern California. This March joint reports of the weather bureau and the soil conservation serv ice says the summer water sup ply outlook is poor in much of central and eastern and South ern Oregon because of light snow packs and extremely dry soil underneath. It adds that water content of the snow is only 75 per cent of normal for Oregon as a whole All reports available so far in dicate that the situation in South ern Oregon is somewhat worse than that with a water content of not more than 70 per cent of normal. I T'S too early, of course, to get badly scaled. Old Jupiter Pluvius is a curious character. He has been known to dawdle on his job for months and then, in a burst of energy, to make up for all the time he has frittered away. There have been years down in this country when June has been' one of our wettest months. We could get a wet spring that would make up for all our pres ent deficiencies. It has happened before and could happen again. So let's not worry yet. THERE isn't much we can do (as yet, at least) about pre cipitation. That is governed by Hong Kong Accused Of Provoking Tension Hong Kong (U.R) Red China today accused neighbor ing Hong Kong's British gov ernment of provoking "tension and uneasiness along the bor der with acts of "extreme un friendliness." The outburst by Peiping Ra dio was the most violent in memory against the crown col ony. Startled observers feared it might foreshadow a prolong ed campaign against British rule in Hong Kong. The broadcast charged . "un reasonable restrictions" have been imposed on persons want ing to enter Hong Kong from China and demanded that a "normal interflow be restored immediately." Earlier this month the Hong Kong government ruled that Chinese entering the colony could not exceed those leaving for Red China each day. About 1000 persons pass back and forth daily. . - Clearer Tito retorted sharply, in a speech last Tuesday, that Molo tov's statement was incorrect. He said also, as the Moscow press reported, that some state ments about Yugoslavia by east ern European leaders in general were nonsense. Russia is trying hard to make friends with Tito again, and, as suggested, Molotov himself may have approved the quotation of his statement. But if that is so, why did Molotov have to draw Tito's report in the first place? Would it be that Khrushchev and Bulganin decided he spoke out of turn? Living Dangerously In any event, Molotov must reflect sometimes that he has been living on borrowed time for years. The Soviet foreign minister is one of the last of the "old Bolshevik's" who worked with Lenin. He has seen others, who had been his friends and collab orators, condemned as traitors after making shameful "con-:, fessions" which he, like every body else, knew were false. Molotov was premier until Stalin took over thaf post when -he foresaw that Russia was go-, ing to be drawn into World War ' II. Molotov then served as for- -eign minister. He gave up that . post to serve in a general pol icy making capacity as vice-premier, but became foreign min- r ister again after Stalin's death. ' At 65 years of age, Molotov ' can look back to 50 years of dangerous living, for he became a revolutionist when he was 15. Whether or not his position is " still secure, he can never be sure. ' News the constantly varying baro metric pressures and the result-r ing shifts in the wind currents' that carry the moist air from the warmer oceans hither and yon,' to be precipitated by as yet un-' predictable and uncontrollable temperature changes. But there is a LOT we can do in Southern Oregon and far Northern California in the way; of storing up the water that falls in seasons of excess precipita-. tion so that it can be used in sea- -sons of SHORT precipitation. That is IMMENSELY impor tant to our future. LET'S keep this clear in our minds. - -' Water lies at the root of ALL values in Southern Oregon and Northern California. WITH plen ty of water, our future is ex tremely bright. WITHOUT plen ty of water, it is far less bright. There was a time when we thought of water only in terms of growing crops including trees and grass. Now we must think of water in terms of PROC ESSING these crops. If we are to process our trees in the form of fiber (pulp and pulp products) we must have PLENTY of water for water is an essential raw material in the making of pulp. Without plenty of water, we can't have fiber industries, such as plants for the making of pulp and paper and wallboard and such. Power is an essential raw ma terial in ALL manufacturing, and if we don't have power enough IN ALL SEASONS OF THE YEAR we can't hope for the large industrial development to which we look forward with so much pleased anticipation. ET'S repeat: . We can't (as yet) control pre cipitation, but we can store up the water that falls in seasons of short precipitation. Its none too early for us to be giving intensive thought to that problem. Dead line for Sundav n.lfi.,4 at noon Saturday He Was Scourged GEO. N.
