T HOPE very much he's wrong
Already we've taken exclu-
live control of too many of our
local affairs out of our city halls
our courthouses and our State-
houses and shared it with Wash

money.
I hope most sincerely that we
can Weep control of our schools

Three Meetings Set
For Advance Gifts
Group of Campaign
The advance gifts committee
of the Rogue Valley Memorial
hospital fund raising campaign
will meet two mornings this
week and one morning next
week during the holiday season
Previously daily breakfast meet
ings were held.
The committee will meet at 'i
a.m. Tuesday and Thursday this
week, and Wednesday, Dec. 28,
at the JaAson hotel.
Starting Wednesday- night,
Jan. 4, the advance gifts commit
tee will join the genera3! cam
paign organization of J.50 volun
teers for the general campaign.
Obtain Subscriptions
The campaign is to obtain sub
scriptions and donations for a
new 78-herl hosnital costing an
estimated $1,900,000 at the cor
ner of Barnett and Murphy rds.
Of the total .amount, $714,000
will be raisecr by the advance
gifts committee and tha general
campaign organization.
About $600,000 has already
been contributed and another
$586,000 was inticipated from
federal Hill-Burton funds. The
state board of health has recom
Jtoended $563,000 in federal
funds. Last week an additional
$26,300 was mage available
through Ford Foundation funds.
General Campaign Chairman
Otto J. Frohnmayer said the ad
. vance gifts campaign is making
"excellent progress" and that a
large gifts campaign is making
"excellent progress" and that a
large , number of memorials are
being subscribed by individuals,
firms and corporations.
General Organization
The general organization is
being organized under the di
rection of Walter G. Garner and
James J. Dunlevy. They have
issued an invitation for all men
who are in position to spend a
fesr hours daily and attend
breakfast meetings to volunteer
for the campaign.-
They pointed out that "aovery
large number" of men already
have volunteered, but added
there are openings for an addi
tional 25 volunteers.
hope that we can get FINAN
CIAL, help for our schools from
the federal government.
Much as I like and respect
him, as good a governor as
think he has been, I feel that
he's wrong on that point. After
all, tax money is TAX money
It all comes out of the pockets
of the people, because there is
nowhere else for tax money to
come from.
And
The tax dollar . we send to
Washington comes back to us all
shrunken out of shape.
w
TH considerable regret be-
him I find myself in disagree
ment with Governor Patterson
on another point.
He has expressed disapproval
of Giles French's proposed fed
eral system for the apportion
ment of the Oregon legislature.
Under the French proposal, the
Oregon house of representatives
would be apportioned according
to population, but EACH COUN
TY would have one senator.
It ij called the federal system,
because that is the way the
membership of the U.S. congress
is apportioned among the states
QUESTION: Why is this "fed-
era!" system better for Ore
gon?
Answer (according to my way
of thinking): Because it- keeps
the cow counties in -control.
Another question: Why is it
better to keep the cow counties
in control?
Answer: Because (generally
speaking) there is' more horse
sense and less something-for-
notnmg tninmng in the cow
counties.
QTEPPING over from local to
- world affairs, Secretary of
State Dulles is in Paris for a
meeting of the North Atlantic
Council of Ministers (NATO in
alphabet language.)
He told the NATO ministers
this morning that the East-
West cold war is ON AGAIN.
He said the Kremlin chiefs have
opened dangerous new cold war
fronts in the Middle East and
South Africa.
He added:
"In the past, the 15 Atlantic
Pact nations have overcome
even greater dangers by re
maining vigilant and ' united."
This was his boiled-down ad
vice: "United, we can stand;- di
vided, we will FALL."
"DEFORE the council session,
Canada's foreign minister
Lester Pearson called on Dulles
and conferred with him for
nearly an hour.
It is believed the Canadian
foreign minister told Dulles , of
his recent trip to Moscow
where Kremlin leaders had
bluntly recommended that Can
ada QUIT THE NATO ORGANI
ZATION.
Reportedly, the Russian -leaders
told Pearson that Canada
fortunately escaped destruction
in two world wars BUT
WOULD NOT BE SO LUCKY
IN A THIRD CONFLICT.
THAT can be interpreted only
as a threat and a rather
grim one.
The Kremlin tiger is showing
its stripes. . - .
