"So What?" Won 't Do
If there is an urgent sanitation problem in Jack
son county (and there is) what do we say about it?
"So what?"
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.

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

Only a community solution can prove to be fully

$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.

Matter of Fact By Stewart Alsop
ATLAS

tories notably the Convair
plant in Calif
ornia work
is going for

credible wea
pon known as
ATLAS. Na
tional survival
may depend on

American AT
LAS or the So
viet version of

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

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

tising agency out there right

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.

Status of Molotov

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.

Only extremely heavy snow

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

packs and extremely dry soil
underneath.
It adds that water content of

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

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

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. . -

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. '

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.

He Was Scourged

The Whipping Master laid on
with long leather lashes tipped
with dried chicken bones or
metal points.

the Son of God
He was said to

John 19:1 "Christ was scourg
ed." Next, on the cross, Christ
took your sins, became sin in
your place and died to set you
free. , Now, with your page
cleared God can give you eternal
life "For Christ once for all
died for our sins, the innocent
for the guilty, that He might
bring us to God." 1 Peter 3:18.
After Christ had died for your
sins, He was buried; then He
arose and ascended back to
glory, from whence He is to re
turn and raise you who have
Him, as Lord and Saviour. This
