That Hospital Drive
The news that the fund drive for the Rogue Valley
Memorial hospital was highly successful is gratifying.
And it is interesting to note that the professional
fund-raiser who organized the campaign, Louis D.
Barr, remarked that the amount raised here, more
than $1,400,000, is the greatest per capita he has ever
seen. He had praise not only for the people of Med
ford whose gifts will make the hospital possible, but
also for the dedicated men who did the hard, grinding
work of solicitation.
.
DARR has conducted campaigns for a number of
purposes hospitals, hotels, apartments and oth
ers mostly in the western states, but also in the
east. He declared that Medford is entitled to do a bit
of bragging on the record of giving (and working)
made during the past few months.
His campaign technique, incidentally, is an inter
esting one, which aggravated and irritated many peo
ple, and actively antagonized some with the net
result that the idea of hospital benevolence was firm
ly implanted in the minds of prospective donors, and
the determination to work harder, even, though under
pressure, was instilled in the campaign workers.
.
ITS FRUITS, morever, were plainly obvious at the
"Victory" dinner last Monday, at which the prelim
inary total of $876,379 was totted up and reported.
The friendly rivalry and competition, the awards
and honors for hard work, the horseplay and com
radeship Which (had built Up during the Campaign 1 probably the age of the direc-o,.Q-Plr
ty1o,q,1 n rhJ ,0 H,m rnfftMs- Retirement, however,
only paid off in money raised, but in an attitude and,
spirit which will, we predict, last among the workers
for a long time to come.
They took the steps to see that it will have a focal
point by forming an organization which will continue
its efforts toward hospital support. Active campaign
ing for funds, other than for those not already repre
sented, will now cease at least untih an addition
to the hospital may become necessary. But the group
will be' a continuing agency through which gifts, don
ations and bequests can be made.
TOR, make no mistake about it, hospitals no longer
can be operated at a profit and still render service
which the average person can afford. It can, perhaps,
break even on operating costs, but for depreciation
and building reserves a true community type of hos
pital will always need help.
. Aside from its. social and financial aspects, the
"founders" organization can fill another need, that
of carrying to the hospital board the, reactions and
opinions of the public on matters concerning them. It
is a broad-base group.
'
""THE leaders of the successful campaign deserve
V great credit for seeing the need, and taking the
steps necessary to till the need. ; :
. But we are impressed with the fact that the hos
pital will be. a truly community endeavor, paid for by
the money so generously given by men and women
in all circumstances, and collected by a corps of hard
working, men who will have little glory and little
reward except the inner knowledge of a good job well
done. ri.A.
Buses in
Evergreen Bus Lines is in trouble.
It is not trouble of its own making, for as local bus
operations go, it has done a good, efficient job.
The trouble, which is reflected, in virtually every
city in Oregon where mass transportation exists, is
the change in the living arid commuting habits of the
American people.
The bus line, unlike Southern Pacific, has no
freight operation which brings in fabulous profits,
and which would justify subsidizing passenger opera
tions. Its sole income is from passengers.
The equation looks like this: No passengers, no
income; no income, no bus service. As simple as that.
For despite the fact that it is a licensed carrier -"and
a public utility, it is still a small operation with limit
ed resources, and simply cannot go on indefinitely
running in the red.
yHAT is the answer?
Curtailed operations? Higher fares? Subsidies?
This question has not been answered successfully
anywhere it has arisen and this has been in Eu
geneSalem and Portland, to name only a few.
For the fact is that Americans, as they move to the
suburbs, and build, out of necessity, two-car garages,
are more and more ignoring municipal mass transpor
tation. .
In doing so they are creating, completely innocent
ly, some of the problems with which cities are wrest
ling, such as providing arterial streets, parking facili
ties, sewer and water services, and a host of others.
It is this with which .a local government hearing here
on March 1 will be concerned.
One of the casualties of this process has been the
bus lines, and Evergreen is no exception. E.A.

Babson Discusses Retirement
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass. With all
this talk today about President
Eisenhower retiring from the
Pre sidency, I
grasp the op
port unity to
discuss the
g e neral prob
lem of retire
ment as appli
cable to offi
cials and to
wage earne r s
o f c o r p o ra
tions. Probably
Roger W. Babson
a compulsory retirement plan is
wise for most business organiza
tions; at least, so far as it applies
to the specific position which
the man holds.. This, however,
should not necessarily mean that
he would leave the employ of
the company. The present cus
tom of demoting active presi
dents to inactive chairmen of the
board might be applied to other
officers and even foremen. There
should be some happy medium
between dropping - an employee
entirely and thereby losing the
benefit of his years of experi
ence, and continuing him with
the business in some capacity.
Although age may not be a
good yardstick, yet it is one
measure of a person's energy. I
forecast the time when account
ants will insist that their annual
audits show the age of aU offi
cers and important foremen, and
should be decided from many
standpoints. Age is one definite
factor.
Characier of Work
Another important' considera
tion is the character " of work
which an executive should, do
after 'he is 65 or 70 years of age.
I seriously question whether it
is advisable for -such a man to
be kept in a position requiring
energy or important- decisions.
There are many other phases
of work that he could do excel
lently, such as . serving - as 'em
ployment manager, or in public
relations. These are '. positions
which require ability that can
be secured only by experience.
Therefore, I appeal for the
practice of changing a man's
work after he reaches the retire
ment age, but not necessarily
making him retire from the com
pany. This especially applies to
day when surgery and medicine
have overcome many, of the ef
fects of age. The study of old
age has already become a sci
ence, known as . . gerontology.
Two of the best authorities are

JOE AND STEWART :-f ; ?
Threat and Counter-Threat ri
'. ; Washington Despite the al
most frantic efforts of the Brit
ish and American governments
to head it off,
the odds on a
shooting war
between Israel
and the . Arab
States are
clearly going
up all the time.
The odds
have been
measurably in-
stewart Alsop creased by a
recent blunt, official warning
delivered to the American gov
ernment by Israel, and an equal
ly blunt counter-warning from
Syria.
The .Israeli government has
warn that, come what may, the
Israelis will soon start work on
a canal in the demilitarized zone
in the upper
Jordan river.
The purpose of
the canal is to
divert to Israel
water from the
Jordan, which
is also claimed
by Syria. And
the Syrians
have stated
just as flatly
Joseph Alsop
that they will consider such ac
tion by Israel an "act of aggres
sion." . '
In 1953, the Israelis made a
first attempt to build the canal
through the demilitarized zone.
They were warned out of the
zone by the United Nations com:
mand, and when Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles threat
ened to cut off all aid unless
they complied, 'they did so,
with bitter protests.
.'
C1INCE then.. President Eisen-
.hower's special envoy, Eric
Johnston, has been,trying to get
a mutual agreement between
Svria and Israel for the exploi
tation of the Jordan waters. But
so far he has failed, and no one
.now expects him to succeed. The
Israelis have warned that they
mean to start work on the canal-
regardless,'- probably in March.
If -the Syrian counter-warning
is to be taken at face value, it
means that the Syrian forces
win fire at the Israelis. Then
the fat will be in the fire.
For the Israelis will certainly
return the fire, with interest.
After Israel's recent "retalia
tion raid" on Syria, for which
Israel was censured by the Unit
ed Nations, : Egyptian Premier
Gamal Abdel Nasser flatly
promised that Egypt would go
to war with Israel if . the same
sort of thing happened again.
Thus Nasser is deeply commit
ted.. -
THERE is really only one way
that Nasser can hit Israel ef
Dwight S.' Sargent, of the Con
solidated Edison company of
New York City, and Prof. Ward
C. Halstead . of . Chicago Uni
versity. Why should "compulsory re
tirement" require 100 per cent
retirement? A man might go on
half time after he reaches 65
or 70. It seems wrong, from both
the individual's and the com
pany's standpoint, to make him
retire altogether. It certainly
should be possible to have one
job continued by two men, both
of . whom would be acquainted
with the work.
Importance of Youth
Perhaps too much considera
tion has been given to a "retire
ment age" and too little to a
"promotion age." If a person is
to be retired at a certain age.
An old saying is: "It's a poor
rule which does not work both
ways." I consider that this sug
gestion is very important. Youth
is very valuable to a business.
We should learn to respect the
suggestions of younger people.
The growth of most businesses
is due to the influence of youth
within the business. As people
get older, their, judgment is in
fluenced by a natural increased
conservatism, and timidness. It
is necessary that every automo
bile have brakes; but it is im
portant that these brakes be ad
justed so that they "wear" only
when the brakes are intended
to be on.
Beware of Investing
In closing this column, let me
call your attention two danger
ous temptations which face all
persons who retire: - -
(1) A man who has made a
success in his regular business
too often thinks he can make
a success in any business. This
is a great mistake. Therefore,
such a man should never start
a new business and," if possible,
should avoid taking a position
in any business . very different
from the one to which he has
given his life.
' (2) After a person retires
from business and has become
"itchy" for something to do, he
may be offered a position which
looks attractive but has a "hook"
in the bait. This hook is ; that
he must invest some money in
the enterprise. In three cases
out of four, such an investment
is very dangerous to make and
the money is" lost. Finally, do
not let anyone get money from
you by flattery and telling you
how smart you are. Vanity and
pride are the two most expen
sive luxuries. ' ,
fectively by bombing Israeli
cities, notably: Tel Aviv, with
his new, courtesy-of-the-Soviets
air force. The Israelis,' whose
army is still much stronger than
Nasser s, - would then have an
excellent excuse for marching
on Egypt. The "activist" group
in Israel, which holds that there
must be a showdown with the
Arabs, before, Soviet, arms turn
the whole power balance in the
Middle East . against Israel,
would gladly welcome just such
an excuse.
Indeed, the formula for deal-
ing with the Middle .Eastern cri
sis approved at last week's meet
ing between President : Eisen
hower and British Premier Eden
was especially designed to dis
courage the Israeli from kicking
off a preventive war. The Eisenhower-Eden
formula boils down
about as-follows: ' ,
. First, if either side started a
war, the American Sixth Fleet
would institute a naval blockade
against tile aggressor. Naval avi
ation might also be used to
chastise the aggressor, depend
ing on circumstances. And eco
nomic sanctions would also be
instituted by .this country if
Israel started the fighting, all
dollar payments to Israel would
be stopped.
But that is not aU. At the
Washington meeting, the British
pointed out that the Israeli are
well equipped to withstand a
blockade they have carefully
hoarded six months worth of
supplies. Moreover, as one his
torically minded British official
pointed out, a people who ate
their children rather than sur
render during the siege of Jeru
salem in the first century, would
not give in easily. Therefore
troons might have to be used. If
so according to the formula
the troops will be British.
.'
BUT already the weaknesses of
this formula, which accords
with the DuUesian doctrine of
"fair warning to the aggressor,"
are becoming apparent. The
Arabs themselves, far from be
ing pleased by the hints that
Anglo - American forces might
intervene in case of war, are
shouting that the whole thing is
an imperialist plot.
More important, in the cir
cumstances outlined above, who
is the aggressor? The Israeli
could only reenter the demili
tarized zone in defiance of the
United Nations command. But
if shots were fired, the Syrians
would fire them first. And if
Egypt bombs Tel Aviv, can the

Hotel del Coronado, where
the California Newspaper Pub
lishers Association is holding its
68th annual convention as this is
written, was born in the same
year as the CNPA that is to
say, in 1887. How it came to be
built is an interesting story..
"DACK in the 1880s San Diego
was booming in a big way
as it is now. The War between
the States had been over for two
decades, and ' the grievous
wounds it had inflicted upon
our country were healing. In
these two decades the West had
been largely won from the In
dians and from the desert
Wealth was again beginning to
accumulate in what we now call
The East.
And
The glamorous character of
the Southern California climate
was becoming known east of the
Mississippi and north of the
Ohio, ' where the . wealth was
building up.
People were beginning to flirt
-with the idea of hunting the
sun in the winter season.
ALONG in the middle 80s,, a
railroad tycoon from New
England arrived in San Diego.
He was "run down" in health-
and the San Diego climate built
him up. again. So the idea came
to him that something might be
done with the region in the way
of a winter resort which would
not only restore to . enfeebled
Easterners their vigor but at the
same time would put needed
cash into; the coffers of the rail
roads that were extending their
rails to the 'Pacific coast.
rpHE upshot of it was that he
J- acquired what was then
known as the Coronado penin
sula which now is Coronado
island. His thought was to sell
off the northern end of the. is
land as winter home sites and to
build a . fabulous hotel at its
lower end.
HE permitted no grass to grow
under his feet. He imported
from the East a top flight archi
tect and put him to work on the
plans for the great hotel he en
visioned He then set about as
sembling . the materials with
which to construct the building.
He built a brick kiln to pro
duce the. bricks that weald be
needed in the foundations and
elsewhere. He made contracts
with sawmills to the northward
up the coast for the lumber for
his architect told him that lum
ber was the ideal material for
the structure he had in mind. :
He interviewed the old timers
as to the behavior of the ocean
in the past, for he wanted his
hotel to be as near to the surf
as would be safe and provident.
They told him the beach had
been stationery for as long as
anyone could remember and the
surf had made no inroads on the
upper sands. So he started mod
est drilling operations at the site
and was pleased to find a softish
but firmish ledge of sandstone
upon which he set his founda
tions. AT about this time, Lady
Chance took a hand in the
game.
The Spreckels brothers, cruis
ing in the blue waters where
Alta California and Baja Calif
ornia come together, anchored
their yacht just, off Coronado
beach. As they sat on the deck in
the warm sunshine and watched
the unbelievably white surf
breaking on the silver sands, it
came to them that here was
about as near to a seashore
heaven as man might hope to
find.
Israeli be blamed for marching
on Egypt? .
Altogether, the tangled web in
the Middle East grows more tan
gled every day, and the Eisenhower-Eden
meeting has done
nothing to untangle it. ' But at
least it is clear that dithering in
action is likely to have fatal
consequences, and that some
way must be found to stop the
sequence of events outlined
above before it can get started.

Position on Dams
, To the Editor: We of the Jack
son county chapter of the Izaak
Walton League of, America are
writing to you to clarify our
position in regard to the develop
ment of a flood control program
in the Rogue River basin.
We feel that there have been
recent statements attributed to
the Izaak Walton League con
cerning flood control which' do
not accurately reflect the con
victions of this chapter.
We of the Izaak Walton
League do not oppose flood con
trol. On the contrary, the IWLA
has specific policies in regard to
water management in cases
where flood control is needed.
These flood control . policies
embrace four sequential, steps:
a. First, beneficial efforts on
the land itself, beginning at the
top, or ridgepole, of a watershed,
including contouring, terracing,
strip cropping, maintenance of
good vegetable cover, increasing
the permeability of soil so it will
absorb more water, and related
treatment. . . , -
' b. Second, construction of
smalT impoundments such- as
farm and ranch ponds, gully con
trol structures,-: highway; fill
dams, and similar devices.
c. The third stage includes
somewhat larger structures, to
hold back surplus waters, near
headwaters of main streams or
high on tributaries. (This means
structures which may normally
be dry such as those in the Miami
basin, or a combination of stable
pool and dry reservoirs such 'as
those in the Muskingum water
shed, both in Ohio).
d. Fourth and last, in sequence
and priority, are main stream im
poundments, which should have
as their . primary purpose the
holding back of such waters as
the first three stages listed here
cannot retard.
We feel that these flood con
trol policiesyhelp all segments
of our economy rather than bene
fiting one segment at the expense
of another.
However, our chapter with
the support of people from aU
over the country have opposed
and wUl continue to oppose any
multi-purpose development plan
on the Rogue River which would
mean the end of our salmon and
steelhead runs for the enjoy
ment of future generations.
We say this with the sincere
