Rock Hounds
We had occasion to drop into the U. S. National
bank here last week. After our business was trans
acted, our eye was caught by a display case in the
lobby.
It was full of stones, selected, cut and polished by
a local gem and mineral club, the members of which
are more familiarly known as "rock hounds."
Somewhere in the back of our mind we'd always
had a vague sort of interest in the processing of non
precious gem stones, and had even seen a few. But
this display was an eye-opener.
HTHERE must be a real creative satisfaction in tak-
ing a stone which on the outside looks complete
ly ordinary and through acquired knowledge and
skill transform it into a thing of beauty.
These examples of the amateur stonecutters are
things of beauty. There were delicate crystaline for
mations, heavily veined and marked formations;
there were colors of the rainbow, and luminous
blacks and whites ; there were fairyland scenes ; there
were flowers and trees and the kind of animal-like
shapes one sometimes can see in clouds all in solid
stone.
UOBBYISTS whether they work in wood, metal,
stone, plastic or words will yield to none in
their pride of accomplishment, and all are entitled to
take pleasure in their own type of creativity.
But it's refreshing sometimes to take a look at the
works of others, and if you haven't happened to see
these examples of artistry in stone, we commend
them to you. E.A.
Community Correspondents
Last week the Mail Tribune completed arrange
ments to bring to 14 the number of its "community
correspondents" the reporters who write news of
many of the towns and rural and suburban areas in
southern Oregon and northeni California.
We are hoping to be able to add to that number
as times goes on, to bring to our readers still more
complete coverage of the news of our fast-growing
and changing area.
f
""THE role played by the community correspondents
is an important one. They are the "town criers" of
the smaller communities, who chronicle the events
and happenings of their communities so that all may
know.
Theirs is no light responsibility,, for if a name is,
misspelled, a date given wrong, a situation described
incorrectly, they are almost sure to hear about it.
However, we are glad to report that , these inadvert
ent slips are the exception, rather than the rule.
IF YOU live in a community served by one of our
correspondents, you can help by seeing that your,
own news is made available to the correspondent.
They are always on the lookout for news, but like
reporters everywhere, a crystal ball is not part of their
equipment. '
The scope of the news'covered by the correspond
ents is wide. They report visitors, parties, community
gatherings; sometimes they tell of unusual weather
conditions, or the activities of the city council; they
report on fires, and pink-and-blue showers, and ac
cidents. They are interested in new homes going up,
roads being repaired or built, and in how the crops
look this year. Anything which is of interest to their
friends and neighbors is news for the correspondents'
paragraphs in the paper.
..
"YQR correspondents report from the following
towns and areas :
Applegate-Jacksonville, Butte Falls, Eagle Point,
Gold Hill, Grandview-Lone Pine, Hilt, Hornbrook,
Jacksonville, McLeod, Phoenix, Rogue River, Savage
Creek-Rogue River, Shady Cove and Table Rock.
We are proud of the work they are doing. Each
of them would freely, acknowledge that it is impos
sible to report all the news of each community. But
their jobs will be easier and more pleasant, and more
productive for their readers, if the readers will help
by reporting to them items of interest. E. A.
Week for Girls
The week starting March 11 is being observed as
the anniversary of the founding of two of the most
important of the organizations devoted to the growth
and development of girls. They are the Campfire
Girls and the Girl Scouts.
The objectives of each group are similar the
development of wholesome, skilled," self-reliant and
helpful young women. The methods are slightly dif
ferent, allowing scope for varying approach and em
phasis. "1E ARE pleased to salute both organizations, and
wish for them continued success in their work
with girls who are in the formative and impression
able period.
We believe the leaders in both groups are aware
of their responsibilities, and are doing their best to
live up to them. E.A.

Farm Groups1 Amendments Hit
Senate Bill; Unanimity Lacking
Washington Farm groups
that Sen. AUen J. Ellender Sr.
(D-La.), counted, on to run inter
ference for his farm bill, instead
helped revise it "with amend
ments. Ellender? chairman of the
Senate agriculture committee,
tried as early as last November
to get the farm groups together
on a bill. But from the first
huddle of the farm organiza
tions it was obvious that once
the bill reached the senate
floor, amendments pushed by
farm lobbies would make Ellen
der look like a quarterback be
ing tackled by his own team
mates. Sought Agreement
On Nov. 23, Ellender wrote
such major farm groups as the
American Farm Bureau Feder
ation, National Grange, Nation
al Farmers Union, National
Council of Farmer Cooperatives
and tHe National Milk Produc
ers Federation, asking them to
"put their heads together in the
hope that agreement can be at
tained on some of the plans or
solutions suggested to meet the
present challenge to agriculture
on some of the plans or solu
tions suggested to meet the pres
ent challenge to agriculture."
He asked for "unanimity" on
surplus disposal, soil bank, two
price plans, price supports, mar
keting quotas, marketing orders
and dairy products.
At the outset, the National
Milk Producers Federation and
the American Farm Bureau Fed
eration could not even agree on
a date to discuss a bill. But a
meeting was held Dec. 19 with
out the Farm Bureau. The
other major farm groups sent
delegates, however, and agree
ment was reached on such rela
tively minor problems as gas
tax exemption for farm vehi
cles and more milk for school
lunches.
Second Meeting
Ellender urged a second meet
ing of the organizations and in
vited them to sit down with his
committee to work out an agree
able bill. On Jan. 10 the Na
tional Council of Farmer Coop
eratives, the Milk Producers
and the Grange met in Wash
ington on their own.
On Jan. 12 the Farm Bureau
sponsored a third . meeting at
tended by the National Farmers
Union, National Grange, and
the National Council of Farm

Editorial Comment
THERE ARE 'AGINERS'
AGAINST EVERYTHING
We are constantly amazed at
the conservatism and downright
intolerance of supposedly intellir
gent and reasonably educated
people. In particular we 'are
impressed by some of the letters
we receive from folks opposed
to Portland's water fluoridation
program.
The thing that bothers us
most is that the."aginers" reaUy
don't know what they're talking
about. They're simply emotional
people, lacking in a fundamental
education. In this case, they lack
basic high school chemistry.
We've recently received a
long and bitter letter from a
group of Portland opponents
who call themselves the Citizens
Council Against Water Fluori
dation.
Their basic idea is that add
ing fluorides to our water, sup
ply "poisons" it. Well, we have
news for such people! A great
many things they eat every day
or so are "poisonous," providing
they eat enough of it. We cite
the following chemical illustra
tions. Table salt (sodium chloride) is
vitally necessary to the bodily
manufacture of our digestive
juices. Yet three pounds con
sumed at one sitting will- kill
because both sodium and Chlo
rine, its constituents, are deadly
poisons. Chlorine was the hor
rible poison gas used in .World
War I. Sodium fluoride, which
is the salt to be added to water,
is practically identical, chemi
cally. Fluorine and chlorine are
both poison gases, sisters under
the atom.-They are commonly
known as halides.
Two other halides belong to
the same poisonous family. Yet
the "aginers" use them without
qualms. Iodine is the solid hal
ide, a deadly poison, yet used
in nearly every home as a dis
infectant and added to table salt
to prevent goiter. Brominer the
liquid halide, is an evil-smelling,
terribly corrosive element which
is truly deadily.. Yet it is part
of bromo-seltzer, the headache
remedy. . . -
All these sister elements, the
halides, are chemical poisons,
yet their compounds are neces
sary to modern living. Certainly,
adding sodium fluoride to water
in minute quantities, sufficient
to prevent tooth decay, will be
no more poisonous than adding
sodium chloride (table salt) to
gargle water to alleviate a sore
throat. ' -. i x
It is our advice to the fluorida
tion ''aginers" to bone up a bit
on ordinary high school chem
istry before . they get" so emo
tional over the whole use of
halides that they can't see the
forest for the trees. Oregon
City Enterprise-Courier.
those groups, the National Milk
Producers Federation and the
newly formed National Farm
ers Organization met with the
Senate Agriculture committee.
But still no over-all agreement
on major issues was reached.
Some things the farm lobbies
did agree on, such as the '-gas
tax exemption for farm vehi
cles, slid through Congress
without a hitch. Ellender set
out to get the same solid back
ing for the bill itself. A rash
of amendments 63 were in
troduced before any voting
started showed how far he
fell short of pleasing everybody.
Some Conflict
The farm lobbies relied on
the amendments to tailor the
farm bill to fit their individual
needs. Often, the amendments
different groups persuaded Sen
ators to sponsor conflicted.
For instance, the Farm Bur
eau wanted flexible price sup
ports while the National Farm
ers Union wanted rigid 100 per
cent of parity supports. The

It involves the mid-range 1,500

Nitltt&t Of FOCt By Joe and Stewart Alsop
THE TWO NATIONS
Washington In the Old Amer
ican folk recitation, "The Sen
ator from Arkansas," one of the
climactic moments begins with
indignant questions: "Mr. Speak
er, Sir, why
did Rome fall?
I'm askin' you,
Mr. Speaker,
why did the
grand imperial
city, a-settin
in her glory
upon her seven
hills, collapse
into hijjus ruin
j j. i i i
Stewart Alsop ana teeiotdi
deecay?"
The answer provided by the
orator is both unprintable and
incorrect. But his questions are
not out of place at the moment,
because a part of the real an
swer has . a
pretty direct
bearing on the
debate on the
Farm Bill that
dragged its
weary way
along in the
Senate in re
cent days.
The decay of
Joseph Alsop itome quae
certainly began when the hardy
farm-citizens - whose valor had
made Rome great, ceased to be
able to maintain themselves and
their families by farming their
small holdings. In hardly more
than a generation,, over great
areas of Italy, the family-sized
farms were swept away. They
made way for vast, consolidated,
slave-operated, absentee-capitalist
holding that were the equival
ent in those days of what we now
call "industrialized farms."
THIS same social change, when
ever it has come over any
great nation of the past, has in
variably marked a beginning of
an ending. All around might be
the evidences of the most hectic
prosperity, except on the little
farms. But when the little farms
went, it was as though the na
tion's healthy roots in native soil
were stricken and withered; and
in the end the nation was
stricken too. ' : -
The warnings of history need
to be remembered, at the mo
ment, for the rather simple rea
son that there would be no really
grave American farm problem
if it were not for the plight of
the family-sized farms. Not all
the big farms are prosperous, of
course. But almost all of them
can take care of themselves, and
a great many of them are still
enormously prosperous, like the
industrialized rice growers re
cently described in this space, or
the rather numerous industrial
ized cotton-growers who can
profitably produce cotton at
eight to nine cents a bale, but
are now selling their cotton for
31 cents.
. -.
THE people who are not pros
perous are the folk on the
family-sized farms. They are so
unprosperous, in fact, that this
nation is virtually beginning to
be divided into two nations. A
single statistic tells the story.
Per capita farm income has now
declined to the level of $860 a
year, whereas the per capita in
come of Americans off the farm
i w '
farm organizations, won out
with an amendment adopted
March 8 by a 54-41 vote. The
Farm Bureau got a sizeable as
sist from the Eisenhower admin
istration which favored flexible
supports.
Neither the Farm Bureau nor
National Farmers Union wanted
the type of soil bank provided
for in the bill. The Farm Bur
eau wanted more teeth in the
measure to make farmers com
ply with the soil bank provis
ions. The National Farmers Un
ion felt the soil bank proposed
in the bill was too broad. And
the National Grange favored the
biU's soil bank as a temporary
measure.
The National Milk Producers
Federation wrote part of the
bill before it reached the floor
and lobbied to prevent the Farm
Bureau from scratching out its
language through amendments.
So despite aU his preparation,
Ellender was severely buffeted
from all sides." And the end is
not in sight.

Quarterly)

Apparently no solution wasi
reached.
The odds favor an announce
ment from Washington soon that
the production of B52 inter-continental
bombers will be stepped
up soon. It's agreed that the
United States must get going if
it wants to keep Russia from
pulling away in the race for
strategic air power. Air Force
generals want more B52s 'and
want them faster. But Air Sec
retary Donald A. Quarles and
Defense Secretary Charles E.
Wilson must decide. The B52s
cost $8 million apiece.
now stands at the level of $1922
Farm folk are much less than
half as well off as other folk in
America.
If this . condition persists for
very long, it can produce only
one result. All the ambitious,
able-bodied members of farm
families will do what the Roman
farmers did. They will give up
the life they have been trained
to. They will . pull up stakes
They will -go to seek better op
portunities elsewhere.
There are plenty of signs al
ready that just this is beginning
to happen. More and more very
large farms are appearing in
every . agricultural state of this
country. . The number of family-
sized farms is everywhere de
clining, and in some states it is
declining with alarming rapidity.
The total number of farms in
Iowa, for instance, is estimated
to have dropped by more than
10 per cent between 1950 and
1954.
TN Iowa, moreover, they call
-- their hogs "the mortgage-lifters."
But with pork down from
well over $20 a hundredweight
to a current price of $11.50 a
hundredweight, a farmer whose
hundred finished hogs might
have fetched $4500 only a year
or so ago, will now get only
$2300. No wonder reports of an
accelerated drift from the farms
come from Iowa, as from most
other farm states.
i. Meanwhile, none of the farm
doctors seem to be prescribing
for the real disease. Secretary
Benson is obviously right in
arguing . that high, rigid farm
parities are the kind of cure that
only makes the disease itself
more dangerous in the end. He
has been courageous in fighting
this prescription, and the Demo
crats, who prescribed rigid par
ities, have not fought for them
with real faith.
fN theother-hand, when Under
V Secretary fit Agriculture True
D. Moss says, as he has said, that
small farms will have to go to
the wall because large farms are
more economically viable, he
makes Secretary Benson's pro
testation of attachment to fam-.
ily-sized farms sound pretty hoi-'
low. This, clearly, is the basic
thing that arouses" the farmers
against Benson.
'. In the end, no doubt, the real
point will have to be recognized,
that family-sized farms have a
very great social value, which'
makes a national investment to
sustain independent farming a
paying- proposition for the long
term. When that time comes, a
distinction will somehow have
to be made, between the big
operators who have no claim to
national support, and the family
sized farmers who still constitute
this nation's roots in the Ameri
can soil, over-urbanized as we
unfortunately are. -

North African Crisis
Begins to Backfire

By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
The crisis in North Africa is

Here is the hottest rumor in

Chief Nikita S. Khrushchev visit
Britain next month they will
offer Prime Minister Anthony
Eden a jumbo loan of one billion
pounds ($2,800,000,000) in gold.
Russia has plenty of gold in its
reserves. But there's a big string
attached, London says. Britain
would have to abandon its re
strictions on trade in some strate
gic goods with Communist coun
tries. Britain hardly could do
that without American agree
ment. Assassination Nightmare
British security officials are
seriously worried over the ap
proaching visits of the junket

Premier Georgi M. Malenkov.
He's due Thursday, with Bui

Look for actress Helen Hayes

killed then raised the figure to
seven. Moroccan Nationalists say
that the correct total is 32.
Spain Accused
France long accused Spain of
fomenting violence in the Span
ish zone.
Gen. Francisco Franco has
summoned Lt. Gen. Raphael
Garcia Valino, his high commis
sioner in Spanish Morocco, to
Madrid for urgent consultation.
Franco also has sent France the
latest of a series of notes pro
testing that Spain's interests in
Morocco have been ignored.
Spanish Morocco is only 18,
009 square miles in area. But it
is strategically important. If
commands the southern side of
the Strait of Gibraltar, only 11V4 ,
miles wide at the entrance to
the Mediterranean. Further, its
loss to the once-great Spanish
empire would be a severe blow
to Spanish pride.
Spanish Morocco was peaceful
during the long campaign of ter
rorism in French Morocco.
France complained bitterly that
many of the Riff Mountain
tribesmen, toughest of its Moroc

Spanish Morocco side of the
frontier.
Sultan Mohammed is nomin
ally the ruler of both French
and Spanish Morocco. He makes
his headquarters in French Mo
rocco. He is represented in Span
ish Morocco by a caliph, a Mos

Actually, the two zones are
entirely separate;
Relations Endangered
Returning to Rabat, his cap
ital, in triumph after winning
independence in Paris, Moham
med at once warned Spain in
a broadcast that opposition to
granting independence to Span
ish Morocco would endanger
relations between Morocco and
Spain.
Spain wanted to be cut in
on the French-Moroccan nego
tiations. It protested against any
agreement that would affect its
own interests.
Mohammed has formed a
representative government in
French Morocco, with Si Bekkai
as premier. He claims authority
for the government in Spanish
Morocco. Franco refuses to go
along with that.'
Franco seems ready to grant
Spanish Morocco a considerable
measure of home rule. But he
is determined to keep it a part
of his empire.
It was made known that Franco
would like the sultan to visit
Madrid on his way back to Mo
rocco from Paris to talk things
oyer. Mohammed . ignored that
irivitation. Franco now has in
vited Mohammed's cafiph in Mo
rocco to go there. He was ex

what diplomats call a position
of strength. He may cause Spain
a lot of trouble.
