MAIL TRIBUNE
Spirit of Christmas
There were three headlines in last Tuesday's pa
per which were related, and, if space and timing in
the daily production of the paper had permitted,
could well have been run together.
The one on Page 1 said: "Local Retail Merchants
Indicate Christmas Buying May Exceed Last Year's
Record-Breaking Volume." On Page 14, a headline
said : "Retail Sales in Western States Running High
er Than Last Year." On Page 7 of Section 2, the third
one said: "Christmas Buying Spree Almost Certain
To Be Biggest One Ever."
TTHIS is fine for the merchants who are selling the
goods. It is fine for the people with whom the mer
chants do business. And it's fine for the people who
are going to receive the gifts which are being pur
chased. As a matter of fact, we see no objection whatso
ever to a big Christmas season, with the possible ex
ception of the fact that consumer credit is building
up at a rate which is a bit alarming to some econo
mists. We are personally alergic to shopping, leaving,
by necessity and design, the bulk of it to the family
secretary of health, education and welfare, who is
better equipped by disposition and background to
cope with it. But we must confess we like the results,
brightly wrapped and piled decoratively under the
tree.
A ND we have no particular quarrel with what has
"been called "the commercialization of Christmas,"
for.it is the natural response of stores and manufac
turers to the demands of their patrons for a gay and
festive assortment of gifts for the holiday season. And
the stimulation of this demand, through advertising,
through music and through appropriate promotion,
is only "good business."
' There are limits, though. It can be, and frequently
is, overdone, with some few merchants attempting to
capitalize on the spirit of the season, to persuade
shoppers to buy more than they 'can really afford, to
go into debt, if necessary, to buy, buy, buy.
s
IT WOULDN'T do any of us any harm to slow down
" for a few moments and remember that Christmas is
a lot more than the buying and exchanging of gifts,
although that is important to a lot of people, particu
larly the youngsters.
The "Christmas spirit," which one merchant com
plained is lacking this year, is, or should be, com
pounded of a thousand and one things and among
them, reverence, love, family, church, good will, gen
erosity, happiness. E.A.
Food Changes
A recent news items reveals that the average Am
erican eats about the same quantity of food as was
consumed 50 years ago, but that the kind of food
eaten has changed considerably.
The consumption per person of potatoes, flour,
cornmeal and other starchy foods has declined by
about half, while the. use of eggs, meats, poultry, fish,
fresh fruits and vegetables, sweets and dairy pro
ducts has gone up.
.
COME of this change no doubt stems from chang
ing tastes. But a lot of it, we suspect, is the result
of discoveries about what the body needs in the way
of nutritive values. Nutrition is as yet an inexact
science, but the importance of vitamins as vital com
ponents in our food intake has been established.
Research on nutrition is continuing, and it is rea
sonable to expect that further changes in eating hab
its will result from other new discoveries.
The packaging and processing of foods by freez
ing, canning and so on is another phase in' the rev
olution in foods, making them more attractive and
also resulting in making life easier, and somewhat
more expensive, for the housewife. What effect it has
had on the nutritive value of food is something we
occasionally wonder about, though. E.A.
No Political "Insulation "
There's been an interesting exchange in recent
weeks from the campuses of the University of Oregon
in Eugene and Oregon State college in Corvallis.
The debate (if such it can be called) has been over
political speeches on the campuses, and it arose when
Gov. Averell Harriman spoke at the university, mak
ing an obviously-"non-political" talk. This aroused
suspicion in some minds that he had been cautioned
in advance to avoid political subjects.
"YR. A. L. STRAND, president of the college, made
some pointed remarks about how students at the
college would not be insulated from political re
marks. A reply by Dr. O. Meredith Wilson, president
of the university, declared no university official had
cautioned Governor Harriman to avoid politics, and
no university spokesman could be found to contra
dict the president.
This, of course, is all to the good. For college
and university students are ostensibly there for an
education. And in America today, an education
should by all means include a familiarity with all
types of politics and politicians. E.A. .

What Daes the Flag Mean?
To the Editor: What is our
flag, and just what is the mean
ing of this piece of cloth with
its stars and stripes?
To me our flag means a visible
reminder of our liberty; that we
are not bound as slaves, or be
hind an iron curtain in darkness,
nor under the rule of a dictator,
but have the sovereign right to
Freedom, Justice, Righteousness,
and Peace for all men, and to
worship according to our own
desires. Freedom; what a won
derful meaning this word has to
day. We have no fear to worship
God, we do not have to hide in
caverns or other secret places.
We can openly celebrate the
birth of our beloved Christ as
our heart desires. What a privi
lege this is. We can go to mar
ket, spend as much or little as
we wish for food, clothing, gifts,
or what not, during this festive
season and no one dictates to us
about it.
This flag I love is the symbol
of all this, and the basic prin
ciple that stands for "Peace on
the earth, good will to all men."
Wherever we see this flag flying
we feel protected under God, by
this very principle it represents.
Jesus Christ told us to "render
unto Caesar the things that were
Caesar's, and unto God the
things that are God's."
Our flag represents our basic
laws under God.
Let us all remember to render
due homage and honor to our
flag under which we have sacri
ficed so much for God, country
and freedom.

Report on Australia

Never Never was in fuU blos
som, with sometimes a million
fluffy balls on a single tree. It
was here we had one of the
greatest thrills of years of bird
study that extended from the
auks at the Polar Ice Barrier,
far north of Spitzbergen, to
Antarctic penguins.
In those acacias was a flock
of "Pretty Joeys". These parrots
beloved of Down-Under "dig
gers," have feathers of scarlet,
of sapphire contrasted with oth
ers of sky blue, of green, and of
gold that pales those acacia flow
ers. This parrot's folk name
comes frpm its Joseph's Coat of
Many Colors.
Writer knows of only one oth
er bird, worldwide, with said
bizarre coloration of the wise ad
ministrator at Pharoah's Court.
That other is the "chapitoreen"
of the peons, the painted bunt
ing. One finds it among the star
apples and the wild avocados in
the Sierra of Guadalajara's hin
terland. Curiously, both birds
enjoy a camouflage as effective
as the browns of sparrows.
What is important in knowing
such birds exist is that today, in
this f aster-than-sound age, Mex
ico, even Australia, is next door.
The boy of 8 to 14 who masters

Washington, D.C. I am much
concerned by the' continued up
trend in municipal and town
taxes, in iaao,
the "tax bite"
of cities in the
United States
will amount to
over $65 per
person, com
pared with $61
in 1953 and
$46 in 1952. I
am e s p e c ial-
Boger w. Bsbtoa ly disappointed
with the very little attention
which the Conference on Educa
tion, recently held here, gave to
this important subject.
A study covering 481 U.S. cit
ies with populations of 25,000 or
more shows that local taxes ac
counted for about one-half of
total municipal .revenues from
all sources, including federal
and state grants for education,
road building, and other pur
poses. The rapid rate at which
these taxes have been increasing
in recent years points up the
fact ' that municipal debts are
also growing larger.
In fact, city debts increased
7 per cent during 1954 to a rec
ord level of $12,200,000,000 for
cities of over 25,000 population.
As a result, the average debt per
capita in these cities is $196.. In
New York City . the per-capita
debt was over $600 per person,
and is still rising. I predict a
further boost in city and town
taxes and debts in 1956.
Cities Overspending
Obviously, city, debts are ris
ing faster than city tax rates,
even though the latter are be
coming more and more burden
some, especially to owners of
real estate. Why should city
debt be rising so fast at this
point m our history when gen
eral business is at record high
levels? Of course, costs of city
services are up all along the
line, but that is only- part- of the
story. Raw material and labor
costs also adversely affect man
ufacturers of many products,
but the prices of those products
have not soared as much as city
taxes.
In some cases, the city tax
load has been permitted to be
poor municipal management
or downright mismanagement.
There are many localities where
money goes down the drain be
cause accounting, purchasing,
and other procedures need tight
ening, but even these loose poli
cies do not fully explain our
plight.
Expect Too Much
Of course, our cities and
towns are overspending. Munici
pal, county, and state govern
ments all over the country are
living well beyond their means.
In many cases, they are forced
to do so because of heavy popu
lar demand for luxuries in the
form of ornate school buildings,
careless road planning with lit
tle thought of future needs, ex
pensive recreational services
and equipment.
When I was a boy, cities were
expected to provide fire and po
lice protection, water and sew
age facilities, also good schools.
Now the people are demanding
many additional services, often
of no real value, and all of them
very costly. I believe in parking
lots for their cars; but not build
ings, miscalled "schools," for
mothers to park their children.
It is ironical that cities along
the seacoast in New England
have built municipal swimming
pools for children and adults!
We provide buses to take the
children to school and then
build gymnasiums to exercise
them when they arrive. I walk

BITTERNESS IN THE

On the sur

of putting a balanced budget in
an election year . ahead of the
requirements of national se
curity.
The bitterness is felt esnerinl-
ly in the Air Force. There has
been no public outcry from Air
Force leaders about the budget
recently approved for the next
tiscal year. General Nathan
Twining, able Air Force Chief
of Staff, has avoided discussing
the subject with the press, and
so have his subordinates. But
Twining's real feelings have be
come know nevertheless.
Twining attended the Nation
al Security Council meeting at
amp David some days ago, ,at
which Presi

obvious reasons, what the Air

reported about as follows:

where he could not "stand all

He said that 140 to 150 air wings

Wolf Sentenced
To Life in Prison
Portland (U.R) Victor Lau
rence Wolf, 45, yesterday was
sentenced to a life term in the
state penitentiary for the car
bomb slaying of Kermit Smith.
The sentencing, by Circuit
Judge James W. Crawford, was
a formality, since the second-degree
murder verdict returned
against Wolf by a jury last Tues
day carried a mandatory life
sentence.
Wolf confessed the April 21
slaying on the day following.
He later pleaded guilty under a
little-used Oregon law that per
mitted a court hearing to fix
the degree of guilt and the sen
tence.
Wolf asked permission to re
main at the county jail here over
the week end, so that he might
visit with members of his fam
ily before entering the state
prison at Salem.
He will be eligible for parole
after seven years under Oregon
law.
Accident Injuries
Fatal To Baker Man
Baker (U.R) Ted Knowles,
48, died in a hospital here yes

Knowles was driving in a

yards down a cliff.

defense of the United . States.
But, he said, the Air Force wasv
not getting enough funds to
maintain much more than 50
wings of truly moder aircraft
in top operational shape.
Twining went on to say that
the trouble was that strong and
persuasive men like Treasury
Secretary George Humphrey al
ways got to the President first.
with the arguments for maxi
mum economy. Thereafter it was
almost impossible to reach the
President with the arguments
for trie other side. -
The Air Force Chief of Staff
said that he was deeply worried
not only about the Air Force,
but about the other services as
well. With the Russians produc
ing 100 submarine's a year, he
said, the Navy was being held
way down, and so was the Army.
Finally, Twining remarked in
effect that he would not take
his case to the public on his own
initiative, but that, if asked his
views before a Congressional
committee, he would love to
speak his mind.
is
TT IS virtually Inevitable that
Twining will be asked his
views by a Congressional com
mittee. When that happens some
thing of an explosion, with poli
tical implications, seems bound
to occur.
It is widely believed in the :.
Air Force that a "stretch-out"
of already available funds has
been ordered on new spending.
in order to make possible a
politically desirable balanced
budget. According to the Air
Force men, the stretch-out de
lays procurement, and ooera-
tions, maintenance, the modern-
lzatior. program and research,
and development are all suffer
ing disastrously.
The bitterness of the military
is by no means confined to the
Air Force, however. For exam
ple, there is much resentment
in the Army at the official claim
that the ground forces are being
maintained at 19 divisions,
which sounds like a respectable
force.
Actually, two divisions are
"static," which means that they
are composed of odds and ends
of units from Alaska to the
Panama Canal. They could not
conceivably take the field as
organized combat divisions in
case of war. Nor could the five
training divisions. That leaves
12 divisions capable'of actually
fightir.2.
TtlOST of these 12 are already
committed to Europe or
Asia, and many of the remainder
are under strength, leaving a
frighteningly weak . ready re-
m, A
serve, ine new nuciear weap
ons, moreover, have transformed
ground warfare far more com
pletely than generally realized.
But the task of equipping and
training our ground forces for
nuclear war is going forward
only on a token basis, for lack
of funds. By contrast, the Rus
sians have approximately 200
ready divisions which are rapid
ly being trained and equipped
for atomic combat.
On the other side, it can and
no doubt will be said that the
military always over-estimate
their requirements, and that
President Eisenhower knows
something of military matters.
But it will be a lot healthier
when the concealed bitterness
in the Pentagon is aired "openly,
and the Administration defense
policies publicly debated. In
deed, the sooner the better, in
view of the frightening way in ,,
which the world situation is
deteriorating.
