MAIL TRIBUNE
Maps
Maps are fascinating.
On the wall of the office there are maps of Ore
gon and Washington, a large one of Jackson county,
another large one ' of Medford, and another of the
area surrounding Medford.
Tucked away in the closet are a half-dozen
others, which are hidden, only because of the lack
of wall space. ' . '
CINCE this is the beginning of the tourist seosan,
the most frequently consulted maps are the use
ful, simplified ones put out by the major oil com
panies. We know several families which can spend
a pleasant evening doing nothing but poring over
these handy maps plotting alternative routes, spot
ting places they want particularly to see, measuring
distances, and so on.
One oil company recently brought out a mag
nificent map of Hawaii, which shows the islands in
colorful contrast to the surrounding ocean. The
mountains, the forests, the rivers are shown in pic
torial form, and it's enough to give the stogiest stay-at-home
a severe case of wander lust.
THERE are a zillion or so kinds of maps, and half-
again as many uses for them.
A quick check with the encyclopedia shows a
list of nine kinds of "projections," or ways of view
ing a territory for mapping purposes. The most com-
.1 1 1 H ST I 1 1 1
mon is tne standard mercator projection, wmcn
shows the earth flattened and squared out, with the
lines of longitude parallel. This is' the one which
shows Greenland as a huge blob near the top of the
Atlantic almost as big as the rest of North America.
Other projections, each
cific purpose or approach,
gnomonic, homolographic,
dal and interrupted homolosme. - ?
These many projections, for different uses, are
needed because the world is round and not easily
reproduced with entire accuracy on a flat map.
THE first maps were believed made by the Egyp
fiona oontnn'oc! Kofrtro trio Vnrh ttf flhrisr TVlPV
apparently were used to
mines.
TTip Greeks later used
first that had any pretense to accuracy on any large
scale, showing the coastline of the Aegean sea.
The Egyptian geographer Ptolemy drew a number
nf mans which later exDerts have called "remarkable"
for their portrayal of the then-known world.
The Romans were great map-makers, and theirs
were used for both engineering and military purposes.
Maps under the Romans were "military secrets," and
penalties were prescribed ror tnose possessing mem
without proper authorization.
MAP-MAKING entered its modern phase with the
geographical school of the Portuguese Prince
Henrv the Navigator, although during the Middle

Today's
hardest hard luck
story: .
The city of Atlanta, which ad
vertises itself as the peach cap
ital of the world, is peachless
this summer, and in order to sat
isfy the tourists who demand
"those matchless Georgia peach
es" for breakfast it is having to
import peaches from California.
A refrigerated truck, loaded
to the eyebrows with them, left
Fresno county the other day, des
tination Atlanta. A spokesman
for the packer that is supplying
the fruit declines to give out
figures but adds with a trace of
smugness that the price is the
highest ever paid for peaches
from the Fresno area.
rr'S ANOTHER example of the
working out of the proverb:
"What s one man s meat is an
other man's poison."
WHAT happened to the Georgia
" peach crop?
It's another casualty of this
freak weather year. It was wiped
out, along with the peach crop
of the entire South, by a bad
freeze at the wrong time.
ON THE Fourth of July which
is an odd date for a Commu
nist big shot to be speaking up
on such a subject Nikita Khrus
chev made a crack in Moscow
to the effect that nothing good
can come froir the Geneva con
ference unless the West treats
the Soviet Union "as an equal."
What's the matter? '
Is Khruschev suffering from
an inferiority complex?

faith at the Big Four conference
in Geneva this summer, "and
the Russians can be sure of it."
. He adds that no member of
the U. S. government has ever
said that the Russians will be
negotiating from weakness at the
Geneva parley. "
TF WE could be as sure of good
faith on the part of the Rus
sians at Geneva this summer as
the Russians can be of good faith
on our part, it would be possible
to wind up all the cold war trou
bles and set the world's feet on
the path that leads to peace.
THERE is bad trouble up at
Walla Walla, where armed
convicts have revolted and were
in virtual control of the Wash
ington state penitentiary and its
1784 prisoners.
I don't know what the real
root of the trouble is, but I can't
help believing that if the inmates
of the prison had been kept CON
STRUCTIVELY BUSY in the
past the revolt wouldn't have
happened.
WHAT is "const r ulc t i v e 1 y"

It's doing REAL work, not
"made" work. Everybody rebels
instinctively at being compelled
to do work that isn't getting any
body anywhere.
As long as we keep convicts
herded together .in what amounts
to idleness in our prisons we'll
have prison troubles. ,

Appreciate What We Have
To the Editor: The most un
predictable, versatile oddest act
ing creature on earth in my esti
mation, is man himself. A year
or so back, the opening day-at
Fish Lake found the road there
under reconstruction, which
should have been generally
known. But the Hegira was on
just the same, in old cars and
brand new shiny ones that were
forced over rock and depression,
mud and whatnot, many , of the
drivers hurling invective at the
graderman plugging along at his
road-building. All this for a few
little old fish, or none at all.
Early this spring, we strayed
up Long Branch road, beautiful
in its smooth winding length
into the greening hills. Built of
on-the-spot material, a Jackson
county official told of the diffi
culty in its building late fall,
mud and freezing weather. And
the belly-aching, some of it
brought to county headquarters,
of how the whole blankety blank
road7 was being everlastingly
ruined. But no reports are com
ing in now to county dads of its
near approach to a paved road
way.
All of which proves pretty
well why we should appreciate
what we've got. Credit both
county and state for the good
roads we have, despite the
pounding they get from heavily-
loaded logging trucks for which
the early, roads were never in
tended. It is beyond belief the
distances they are hauling logs,
up long adverse grades where at
the top they stop to rest weary
legs, kick the tires .before the
long braking drive down the
mountain to the welcome log
dump. One thing is rare, where
there's a want, be it logs, TV,
rocket travel into space or what
have you, unpredictable man
wUl supply it. -: "

Old Pictures
To the Editor: This is an open
letter to the Chamber of Com
merce and local photographers.
Yesterday I was in the Med
ford hotel and by the cashier's
counter I noticed some what I
thought were new aerial photo
graphs of Medford. Imagine my
surprise when on looking at the
photos more closely, I discover
ed them to be almost antiques.
The original films for these
prints couldn't be a day under
20 years.
In the photographs were such
old landmarks as the Railroad
bldg. at Main and Front, a large
home on West Sixth, between
Fir and Grape, and many -more.
Another view showed the old
school at Fifth and Bartlett,
empty - fields around Lincoln
school and on North, Riverside
and Hawthorne park a farm.
Surely Medford can get more
up-to-date pictures to advertise
itself.; To top this all off the

Babson .. Handicapped
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass. (Special
to Mail Tribune) Since return
ing from my winter in Florida,
I have . often
been asked
how I used my
time while
there. Unfortu
nately, I do not
play golf or in
door games, in
cluding cards.
My exercise
consists of
Xetar W. Babsaa walk ing and
working in my garden. I, how
ever, have made a practice of
selecting some one subject to
study each winter as a sort of
post-graduate course. . It has
been interesting and helpful to
myself and others.
As heretofore indicated, I have
been studying this past winter
the problem of the physically
handicapped, but not the prob
lem of the mentally retarded.
This latter is, in a class by it
self. Only trained psychologists,
therapists, and others engaged
in mental rehabilitation should
attempt to help with this mental
problem. My studies have been
devoted to those physically han
dicapped through faulty birth,
accidents, war, polio, and other
diseases, but who have good
brains and the ability to rise to
the top in almost any business
or profession.
I once assumed that being
physically handicapped often re
tarded memory or judgment; but
scientists, psychologists, and the
medical profession tell me that
I am wrong in this. They insist
that those "born with" ambition,
persistence, and talent still have
them after any accident; while
those who apparently lack these
qualities before an accident sel
dom have them after one. This
is true in the case of blindness,
which I am discussing . this
week. ,:
Two Phases of -Blindness
Compared
There are two kinds of blind
ness namely legal blindness
and total blindness. A person
with legal blindness can see at
a distance of only 20 feet what
the normal person can see at
200 feet. So-called blind people
who you see feeling their way
along with a cane, or holding
certain jobs with the aid of pow
erful eyeglasses, are often able
to see somewhat, although they
are legally blind. I, of course,
am interested in these, but I am
especially interested in the to
tally blind, believing that they
may have the best opportuni
ties. -
When I was in college, most of
the totally blind learned Braille
that is, reading with their fin
gers. Babson Park, with its In
stitute and Research plants, is
within a few miles of the Per
kins Institution, which is one of
the best schools for the blind in
America. Since the development
of the radio, phonograph, and
especially the "talking books,"
fewer, blind people have been
interested in learning Braille.
Let me say, however, that every
blind person should at least be
able to use the Braille alphabet
and numbering system, in order
to be able to keep records of
names and telephone numbers
and short memos.. This enables
one to serve as a secretary, or a
sales clerk, or even an execu
tive. Much Being Done
To Assist Blind . .
Much is being dpne by the fed
eral government, state govern
ments and private organizations
toward helping the. blind. Some
times I think that a blind person
has better prospects than those
of us with eyesight, because we
do not appreciate our eyesight
and use it as we should. .Those
who are interested in this sub
ject should write the U. S. De
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare, Office of Voca
tional Rehabilitation, Washing
ton 25, D.C., for a copy of their
pamphlet entitled Opportunities
for the Blind. This ; pamphlet
lists agencies in each of the 48
states and the territories of the
U.S. which specialize in such vo
cational rehabilitation. Job op
portunities are often available
for the blind in the various pro
fessions, trades, retail establish
ments, factory occupations, and
clerical and personal service po
craft binding. EACH week new
submissions will be considered.
Sorry, I simply can't answer
your ; many friendly letters.

'
sitions. Many of these categories
I have personally checked this
past winter and. find that blind
persons are successfully engaged
in these different lines of work.
In many positions they are
doing better work than those
who can see. They have more
time to listen, meditate, pray,
and plan; they are better able
to concentrate and arrive quick
ly at a correct decision; they, are
more creative and offer, their
employer more and better ideas,
methods, and . processes. These
qualifications some of which
are distinctly based upon spir
itual power are often possessed
by the blind to a degree exceed
ing those of the normal person.
In fact, the future of a blind
person who is given proper op
portunities can exceed that of
a normal person, provided he or
she has natural memory, judg
ment, and ambition; but this
brings me back to the third para
graph of this column. Blind peo
ple instinctively learn to sacri
fice, which is the basis of suc
cess. All of Us Should
Appreciate Eyes More
I sometimes wonder whether.
when Jesus ''restored the sicrht
of the -blind and made the lame

my readers who have normal
eyesight, hearing, and aruwh.
with full use of all limbs. This
includes 95 per cent of those who
read this column. The principal
thing I have learned from my
winter studies has been the great
value and possibilities of these
wonderful machines that we all
carry in our heads, technically
known as our "brains." As I pass
through an office or factory or
even down the street, I am im
pressed with how little realiza
tion people have of their oppor
tunities and of the possibilities
to be deprived from their most
powerful and miraculous brain.
We wonder about the marvels
of the airplane, the radio, tele
vision, telephone, and other
"great inventions." We become
frightened about atomie enercv.

Dots, wmcn some magazines say

production, and sales. None of
these things ; upon which the
great laboratories are working
compare with the machine which
eacn one of us has in our heads.
Therefore, I forecast that there
will develOD thousands of Edl
sons, Ketterings, Van Dykes and
Rembrandts, Longfellows and
Tchaikovskys. The present num
ber of Inventors, writers,' scien
tists, and musicians should in
crease. Many of the "blind are
now developing such brains. A
few of us who can see are at
tempting the same, and my ap
peal is that all of us should an-
preciate pur eyes more. Let us
not waste our. eyesight on non
sense, but use it constructively.
If we do, I believe that he will
not only gain in character and
satisfaction but will also tfet In.
creased promotions far greater
than we ever hoped. , '
