MAIL TRIBUNE
Twenty Years Ago
We have often remarked about the remarkable
changes which are transforming the face of southern
Oregon. While the changes are rapid and visible, they
are not always as apparent as it might be, for as we
watch them coming about, we unconsciously adjust
ourselves to them.
In a sort of experiment this week, we went back
to the files of the Mail Tribune for 20 years ago, and
ran through the papers for the same week July 24
to 30. We found that there have been changes aplenty
(not the least of them in the newspaper itself, in
cidentally), but we also found that some things re
main remarkably the same.
IN 1935, America was just beginning its climb out
of the depression.
The CCC (that means Civilian Conservation
Corps, junior) was a big factor in the life of the
valley, and one headline during that week was about
the death of a CCC boy crushed by a falling tree.
The depression was reflected in prices. During
one August sale, a davenport and chair combination
was reduced $5 to a sale price of $34.95, and could
be bought for $4 down and $5 monthly. The price
of a three-piece bedroom suite was $37.95, and oc
casional chairs were going for $4.44.
Seat covers were going for 79 cents and up, and
a pint of bourbon whiskey sold for 75 cents. Women's
coats and suits were selling between $4 and $10.
"1IILLIAM Brady, M.D., was conducting his Per-
sonal Health Service in the colums of the Mail
Tribune. Frank Jenkins was commenting on the
"Days News." Other columnists included 0. 0. Mc
Intyre, Paul Mallon and the late, beloved Arthur
Perry, of the M-T staff.
Richard Dix was playing at the Craterian (mati
nees 25 cents; evenings 35 cents; kiddies 10 cents).
The Roxy and the Rialto had Francis Lederer and
Jack Holt as stars (and smaller admission prices).
Gluyas Williams' panel graced the top of the
comic page, which also featured "Smatter Pop,"
"Tailspin Tommy" (who was engaged in a raging
air battle between open-cockpit bi-planes), "Ben
Webster's Career," "The Nebs," and "The Bungle
Family."
Will Rogers' comments ran daily on Page 1, while
he and Wiley Post were preparing their ill-fated
trip to Alaska.
THE valley's big economic news that week was the
reopening of a mill. The story was told on Page 1 :
"Operation of the Owen-Oregon lumber mill
starting Monday morning with a repair crew and in
creasing during the ensuing two weeks to employ
ment of 200 men was announced today by James H.
Owen, former manager of the Owen-Oregon Lumber
Co., and present manager of the new Medford cor
poration. "Owen stated that re-opening of the mill, which
has been closed since last August, after a slowing
down of operations for the past four years, wTas
authorized by H. F. Chaney, Portland, vice-president
of the Medford corporation . . . The Medford corpo
ration is a newly-formed organization which has re
placed the Owen-Oregon Lumber Co. .. .
"One of Jackson county's main industrial payrolls
will be resumed by renewed operations of the mill. . "
THE League of Nations was being called into session
in Geneva to consider the complaint of Ethiopia
about the invasion of Italian troops.
Postmaster Frank DeSouza was elected vice-president
of the State Association of Postmasters, meet
ing in Coquille.
The state highway commission assigned $125,000
for work on the highway south of Ashland.
An Associated Press story reported that during
1934, the total tax income of the United States was
$9,401,737,000, or a per capita tax load of $74.37.
Leonard Carpenter was appointed to the state
planning board.
"Ready Made Wife," a fiction story, was running
as a serial in the paper.
THE major continuing local stoiy of the day still
concerned the reverberations of the "Good Gov
ernment Congress" disturbance, during which Con
stable George Prescott was killed and L. A. Banks
was sentenced to life imprisonment for his murder.
The Granges and other organizations were en
gaged in a discussion of the appeals made for clem
ency for Banks. The Pomona Grange took up the
matter, but "invoked the Grange rule, not to make
public whatever action taken."
The big continuing state story was political. At
tempts were being made to recall Democratic Gov.
Charles Martin attempts which were getting no help
from the state Republican party nor from Jo& Dunne,
Martin's opponent in the preceding election.
The state GOP, indeed, while condemning the
"unprecedented waste" of the Roosevelt administra
tion, also condemned the recall attempt, terming it
intimidation of a public officer to "enforce selfish
will."
THESE random items may mean little or nothing
to those whose memories don't stretch back 20
years. But for those who lived through that odd era
of depression, political hysteria and gathering war
clouds, perhaps these paragraphs will evoke a few
memories.
Perhaps they prove little or nothing Except, as
we said, some things change but other things remain
much the same. E.A. .

Babson . . . Crime, Accidents
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass., (Special
to Mail Tribune) It is too bad that
the newspapers and broadcasters
feel obliged to
present so
much bad new
much ba d
news about'
crime, foreign
complications,
and even auto
accidents.
Every imparti
a 1 statistician
Bofer w. Bibtoa must be an op
timist, to ferret out the facts.
It is true that these three un
fortunate things are on the in
crease, and churches and schools
are getting the blame for it. But
when crime and accidents are
reduced to a per-capita basis, the
figures are not so bad. Our popu
lation is growing so fast that in
reality there has been a decrease
in crime and accidents when ad
justed to the population growth.
Just think, since Hoover was
in the White House the net popu
lation of the United States has
increased over 40,000,000. This is
almost equivalent to the entire
population of Great Britain. In
other words, if, say, the total
population of Great Britain had
been dumped into the United
States in the last 25 years, would
we not expect to have even more
crime and trouble than we have
now?
Automobile Nuisance
One of Necessity
I admit that parking problems
are terrible. Unless our city fa
thers remedy these very soon,
our merchants will suffer. When
their sales decrease, manufactur
ers cannot sell as many goods
and unemployment increases.
But considering the number of
automobiles, it is remarkable
that we can find any place to
park our cars.
Yet, should we blame the auto
mobile or the ignorance and
short-sightedness of our munici
pal governments? What would
any city do today without the
automobile business? Close up
the dealers, garages, gas stations,
and repair shops, and what
would we have left? A few black
smiths would be shoeing horses
and there would be dealers in
hay and oats but the life of
our cities would be gone. How
ever, we should have both the
auto industry and sufficient free
parking.
Bounties of Nature
Makes for Blessings
We not only have wonderful
crops; but we have a billion
bushels of grain in storage. In
addition we have tons of eggs,
butter, and other products in
storage. No country in the world
begins to have our blessings.
This applies even to the wealth
of the sea and the trees of the
forests. Each week as I read a
large Sunday paper I regret the
acres of splendid woodland
which were destroyed to give me
the newspaper. Yet, I am assured
that the growth exceeds the
In The Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
I suppose you've been follow
ing sketchily, at least the sen
ate investigation of Air Secre
tary Talbott. Perhaps you won
der what the shooting is all
about.
WHO is Talbott?
" What has he done to get
himself investigated?
Well, he is a successful busi
ness man who came into the
service of government. He is a
partner in a big management
engineering firm that doesn't do
business with the government
directly but supplies TECHNI
CAL ADVICE to firms that DO
do business with the government
directly especially with the de
fense department.
Because of his SECONDARY
connection with firms involved
in defense contracts, he was ap
parently not required (when he
was appointed secretary of the
air force) to divest himself of
his private business interests.
A NYWAY, the senate decided
to investigate him. It may
have had perfectly sound and
patriotic reasons for doing so:
There may have been a taint of
POLITICS in the investigation.
As to that, I wouldn't know.
At any rate, they have been
frying Talbott out in the pan.
fpHE investigation came up at
Ike's news conference. It was
brought up by a question from
a reporter. The question was
this:
"What does the President plan
to do if anything about Sec
retary of the Air Force Tal
bott?" This was the answer:
The President has not yet
made a decision and will not
make a decision until the cur
rent investigation is over.
PRESIDENT Eisenhower then
went on to point out that
there has been no suggestion that
Talbott has been guilty of fraud
or wrongdoing in a legal sense.
The air force secretary, he add
ed, has performed his official
duties almost brilliantly.
But, he went on to say, the
actions of a public official must
be impeccable from the stand
point of both law and ethics and
should avoid- giving any IM
PRESSION of wrongdoing. And,
he said, the senate's inquiry into
Talbott's private business activi
ties while in government serv
destruction.
When I learn of the great riv
ers which have not yet been har
nessed, of the supplies of coal
and oil which will last for cen
turies, and of other God-given
natural resources, I am both
humble and thankful. And we
are just now learning about the
power of uranium which may be
found anywhere and a pound of
which may do the work of 2,500,-
000 pounds of coal. It seems
wicked for any of us to complain
about anything. We perhaps are
wasting precious time even
bothering to look at stock-market
operations or concerning our
s elves about investigations.
Speaking of "time," this is the
only thing of which there is no
surplus. Our TIME is the one
thing which we cannot replace
when it is wasted.
Freedom from War
Seen Greatest Blessing
Of all our blessings, perhaps
the greatest is our freedom from
war and the possibility that
World Wars may be at an end.
Upon the highest military au
thority, I forecast that the hydro
gen bomb may be a blessing in
disguise. At any rate, we know
that the draft calls are being re
duced, and the orders for much
military equipment are being
canceled.
I grant that it makes some peo
ple pessimistic to read the news
papers: but the very fact that
the newspapers publish no more
about crime and accidents proves
that the bad news is becoming
proportionately less. Whenever
1 get pessimistic, which is very
seldom, I read the history of
England or of some other coun
try. This shows that the world
is getting better fast and that my
job is to keep up with it. If you
have any difficulty Being opti
mistic, read each day one of the
Psalms of David. There are 150
of these, so they will keep you
busy for 5 months. They will be
the best pills you can take.
Bethlehem Steel
Has Record Earnings
' New York (U.R) Bethle
hem Steel Corp. had record
earnings, production and ship
ments during the first half of
1955 and predicted the full year
will bring the greatest earnings
in its history.
Eugene G. Grace-, chairman of
the steel company, announced
Thursday that a quarterly divi
dend of $1.75 will be paid on
the company's common stock.
The last quarterly dividend was
$1.50.
Net income for thefirst half
of 1955 was $83,319,324, equiva
lent to S8.25 a share. A year ago
earnings amounted to $55,558,
350 or $5.77 a share for the
same period.
The company's sales for the
first six months of $1,002,012,
434 compared with $884,763,
199 a year ago.
News
ices raises the question whether
a proper standard of ethics has
been violated. He said it must
be decided whether Talbott used
his office improperly or merely
used his personal influence in
a manner divorced from his of
fice. The president added, in con
clusion, that so far as he is con
cerned the matter is temporarily
in abeyance. He said he would
make a thorough study of the
matter and then make a decision.
T ET'S look at it flaty.
Under the law, before a
man can serve the government
of the United States he must
divest himself as did Secretary
of Defense Wilson of all his
holdings in business concerns
that may do business with the
government.
Perhaps that is good. Possibly
it is the way it should be done.
Perhaps we can't trust ABLE
men to serve their government
honestly. It is possible that in
government we must depend on
the services of men of lesser
caliber.
RUT
I'm happy to say
In OREGON we have found
that we don't have to do it that
way.
rpHE membership of our state
- highway commission, over
the nearly four decades in which
we have had a highway commis
sion, is an example.
From the very beginning, our
highway commissioners have
been chosen from among the
ablest and best men to be found
in Oregon. In a very large num
ber of cases, they have been
among the biggest and most suc
cessful businessmen in our state.
During the period of their serv
ice they have handled what for
Oregon have been IMMENSE
sums of money and have dealt
with all kinds of businesses, in
cluding those in which they
have been personally interested.
AN
During all these years
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN
A TAINT OF SCANDAL IN
THE PERSONAL DEALINGS
OF THE MEMBERS OF THE
OREGON HIGHWAY COMMIS
SION. PERSONALLY, I think our
Oregon way has been a
GOOD way.

Who am I?
Where today I am found only
in remote areas of India and
south of the Sahara in Africa,
I once ranged a large part of
southeastern Europe, all of
7-29-SS
Africa and across western Asia
into India. In the main I favor
open country sandy, brush
covered plains or rocky places
near streams. During the heat
of the day, I take it easy doing
most of my work at night.
A Samson of the animal world,
I can fell an ox in a split second
with one blow of my paw. My
claws can rip through the hide
of a rhinoceros. I have leaped
9-foot walls while carrying a
half a calf in my mouth. In pur
suit of my prey, I may travel
50-60 miles an hour for 100
yards.
One of the biggest of cats, I
stand three feet or more at the
shoulder and weigh upwards of
450 pounds the female sel
dom exceeding 300. When angry,
I pull down my ears, snarl fe
rociously exposing my formid
able teeth and lash the tip of
my tail which has a hook-like
spur concealed in the tuft.
My majestic appearance is due
in part to my strong shoulders
and my thickly-furred head and
luxuriant ruff. My mate has no
ruff. We roar ' mostly late
afternoons and night.
We frequently stalk our prey
buffalo, eland, waterbuck,
wildebeest, kudo or our favorite,
zebra near waterholes or graz
ing grounds.
Some of us pair for most of a
lifetime. After a three and one-
half months' gestation, a half
dozen young may be born. At
birth they are striped or thickly
spotted but these markings fade
rapidly leaving us a tawny color
matching our background.
Unlike most mammals, males
often bring food to the female
when she is nursing but the
mother takes care of intensive
training the young which may
last a year before they can stalk
and bring down their own game
My likeness is emblazoned on
many banners and shields and I

more for my dignified majesty
than my savagery.

Carelessness Probed
In Girls' Drowning
Tokyo (U.R) Police ques
tioned saddened teachers today
to determine whether their care
lessnes was responsible for the
drowning of 36 school girls dur
ing swimming lessons.
Civic group bitterly criticiz

to take adequate precautions
andstudy the water conditions
before beginning the lessons
Thursday. Education Minister
Kenzo Matusumura said he
would take "strict measures" if

To the Editor: One hundred
years ago Franklin Pierce, a
Democrat, was President, isince
Pierce there have been six more
Democratic Presidents up to now
and fourteen more have been
Republicans. It seems that the
Republicans have been a two to
one favorite during the past one

In the riast forty years we
have had four Republican Pres
idents, starting no wars, and
three Democratic Presidents
starting three wars.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, riarry

How To Make RR's Pay
To the Editor: In June, I read
a railroad article in "Reader's
Digest" page 109, and consider
ed writing a "letter to tne edit
or," and to the Southern Pacific
officials.
Now that Southern Pacific has
announced discontinuance of
what little passenger service we
do have, I believe it would be
a good thing to urge everyone
to read how railroading CAN
be made to pay. June Reader's
Digest, "Two Men and the New
York Central," particularly the
fourth paragraph from the end.
Then, will many of you please
read, "What Price Too Much
Food?" in July Reader's Digest?
I do realize that to discontinue
the price-support program would
bring hardship to many. How
ever, isn't there a way to again
let the consumer-demand deter
mine what crops farmers will
raise, instead of parity prices
supported by taxpayers the
farmers themselves being among
those who are paying very high
taxes.
In the food article, the author
states, "No one in Washington
has enough public backing to
dam the mounting flood (of sur
plus food)." Why don't we take
steps to SUPPLY that "puDiic
backing.

Too Kind Hearted
To the Editor: This is a plea to
all the kind-hearted folks in Med
ford, and I am sure every one
considers himself in this group.
Some are kinder than others,
some are so kind they "just can't
kill a little kitten." So little
kitty goes for a ride to the coun
try, where the really kind
hearted folks live, kijty is put
out in the weeds and bushes and
the domesticated animal has to
fend for himself for days. It may
find food or it may catch some
thing as it watches the house and
people where it suddenly found
itself near. Its security is gone.
The dogs and cats that "belong"
there chase it every chance they
get.
"The Black Kitty" our child
ren tried to coax to the house
finally got porcupine quills, so
it had to be shot. It's no fun even
when it isn't a pet.
Now we have a tiny grey kit
ten. Fortunately it was found
within a couple of days: it's
really too small to be without
its mother. Its hoarse little crys
led the children to it. This is the
fourth cat in less than a year
(some country folks could count
more).
So Please, City Friends, take
your unwanted animals to the
Humane Society now that you
know the kitty you put out on
the country road doesn't march
up to a strange home and strange
people and live happily ever
after.

The week's good and bad news
on the international balance
sheet:
THE GOOD
1. President Eisenhower and
the prime ministers of Great
Britain, France and Russia
agreed that
their "summit"
conference in,
Geneva was a
success. "It is
m y judgment
that the pros
pects of a last
ing peace with
justice, well
being and
broader free
d o m are
cuartet Mcnun brighter, Gen.
Eisenhower said in his closing
statement. Reporting later to
the people of the United States
in a television - radio statement,
he said the "acid test" of good
intentions will come when the
Big Four foreign ministers enter
detailed negotiations in Geneva
in October. British Prime Min
ister Anthony Eden announced
that Soviet Premier Nikolai A.
Bulganin and Communist party
leader Nikita S. Khrushchev
had accepted an invitation to vis
it London next spring.
2. Hope was strengthened that
51 Americans now held in Com
munist China might be released.
It was announced that negotia
tions would start in Geneva next
Monday between the United
States ambassador to Czecho
slovakia and the Chinese Red
Ambassador to Poland on the
release of Americans. The State
Department emphasized that no
question of recognition of Red
China was involved. Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles said
the Geneva talks might lead
later to a meeting between him
and Chinese Communist Prem
ier Chou En-lai on broader
issues.
3. Austria regained its sover
eignty as the result of the rati
fication of the recently con
cluded Austrian treaty. The
flags of the four, occupying
power United States, Britain
France and Russia were haul
ed down from their staffs on the
Allied Council Building in Vi
enna. Austria had lost its inde
pendence when Nazi Germany
seized it on March 12, 1938.
THE BAD
1. Trigger happy Bulgarian
anti-aricraft gunners shot down
an Israeli air liner which inad
vertently crossed a few miles
into the territory of the Commu
nist iron curtain country on a
flight from London to Israel.
Fifty - eight persons including
12 Americans and five Rus
sians were killed. Bulgaria
apologized. But the tragedy em
phasized the fact that despite
some relaxation of East-West
tension, the situation along the
Iron Curtain frontier facing
Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey
is still bad. .
2. The armistice in Korea en
tered its third year, with no
peace treaty in sight. The Com
munists have cheated ever since
the truce was signed. South Ko
rea threatened, on the anniver
sary day Wednesday, to throw
the Polish and Czechoslovak
Communist members of the
truce supervisory committee out
of the country.
3. The situation in Indochina
continued to get more threaten
ing. South Viet Nam forces still
fighting troops of rebel politi
cal-religious sects. Viet Nam
Premier Ngo Dinh Diem had re
