Use Tribune Want Ads Si MAIL TRIBUNE " The Vote on Early this year, the Mail Tribune went on record favoring the fluoridation of the Medford municipal water supply as a public health measure to reduce cavities in the teeth of children. It did so because this paper is convinced that the measure is completely safe, reasonable, proven, con structive, progressive and relatively inexpensive. Because of widespread opposition, even in the face of expert opinion and conclusive statistics as to its effectiveness and safety, we advocated a public vote on the proposal so that no one could say it had been forced down anyone's throat by a minority group. yHERE is no reason for us to change our position. We have read widely on the subject both pub lications which report the scientific evidence, and publications which scream, without any substantial evidence, "rat poison" and "socialized medicine." We agree with Dr. Walter Alvarez, who in a Mail Tribune column last week, said : "That the procedure is safe was shown by U.S. Public Health Service men who studied health and death statis tics in the cities using fluoridation, and found no increases in the usual rates of illness or death. This should put an end to the wild claims of some persons that fluorine is poison ing people wholesale. It should put an end to the fears of all sensible people." PJESPITE all this, however, we are sorry the city council chose to put November. The issue has become reason we have not yet been able to fathom. As a result, we are a bit fearful that it would have an adverse effect on other measures which will be on the ballot this fall measures which we feel to be of vastly more importance than that of the question of ' fluoridation. I For instance, the voters of Medford will have to decide on a four-phase capital improvement program ; which will set the pattern of municipal development for years to come. This is more important than fluori dation. A number of state measures, several of them of considerable effect, will also be on the ballot to say nothing of the city, county, dates for public office. IF emotions generated by a "fluoridation fight" are permitted to slop over into what should be the calm and studied consideration of the merits of the other measures, the results It is hoped the voters clearly the fact that f luondation is a side issue ; lm portant, yes, but not of the as other matters on the ballot. For these reasons we to enter into the fluoridation fight other than to state from time to time our considered opinion that it would be a good thing. 70R the same reasons, while we shall accept and print letters to the editor on the subject, both pro and con, we shall exercise editorial judgment as to length and number. . And in no case will vituperative communications on the subject, and we shall refuse to let proponents and opponents of fluor idation have a monopoly on there are so many other matters of importance to de cide.

Despite prevailing high tion arises from time to time. &ach time it does, tne problem is acute and immediate and tragic, and there is no answer. Individuals who have residence here, veterans, and a few others have places to which they can turn for temporary help. The down-and-outer from else where has none, "THE public welfare office is limited, both by resi- dence requirements and lack of funds, in the help it can give under the category of "general assistance." The Red Cross under its charter is strictly circum scribed in the way in which expended. The Salvation Army, which can almost always scrape up a meal and a bed, is so pinched for funds that anything further even a bus ticket to the next town is usually impossible. Veterans organizations can be helpful but by their very nature limit their aid to ex-servicemen. The United Medford Crusade has as beneficiaries largely health and character-building organizations. 'IX'HAT is left? Panhandling which is a semi-po- lite term for begging. Many business people will tell you that this is not as infrequent as one would hope or think. Some of the transients are "floaters" and "bums." Some are honest and decent people who are down on their luck, and usually only marginally employable. We don't know the answer, if there is one. Per haps someone else does. E.A.

Today and By Walter A NEW EPOCH When the President had deliv ered his address of acceptance, it was evident that he and Gov. Stevenson have come to much the same con clusions about the times we live in. It is that the epoch which began with the great d e p ression of 1929, which i n c 1 uded the New Deal, the Waiter uppmann Second World war, the Fair Deal and the Ko rean war, now belongs to the past, that its issues are antiquat ed, that its war-cries and slogans are worn out and that the two parties have now to prove which is the more fit for the age that is opening up. At the Chicago convention it was Mrs. Roosevelt who made this crucial point that ex-President Truman was living in an age that had passed into history, that Stevenson was at the head of the new generation who were taking over the leadership and the control. At San Francisco, the theme of the President's ad dress, and indeed of the plat form and of the keynote which he inspired, was that the Repub lican party must now fit itself for a future which will be un like the past 25 years. Gen. Eisenhower, as we know, has been reading Arthur Lar son's book, "A Republican Looks at His Party," and has been consulting Mr. Larson per sonally, presumably in the prep aration of his acceptance ad dress. Mr. Larson's thesis is that there is such a thing as "the new Republicanism" and that it is "a distinct and coherent political movement, of which President Eisenhower is the architect and embodiment." The movement was made obsolete, says Mr. Larson, the old Republicanism which comes down from 1896 and the era of President McKin ley and of Mark Hanna, and has made obsolete also, so he im plies, the Republican reaction to the New Deal, the Fair Deal and the two wars. NEITHER party platform and, candidates has come anywhere near defining the policies, much less a specific program for the new epoch into which we are en tering. It would be foolish to ex pect it. The new policies and the programs to carry them out are not likely to be worked out at this stage of the political con test. Before that can be done an understanding and a realization of what Eisenhower and Steven In The Day's Everyone who will read these words will know already what happened in San Francisco at the high point of the Republican national convention. So I shall try here to present merely a few personal observations, conclu sions and convictions. Perhaps they will seem naive. To anyone not here, not seeing with his own eyes, hearing with his own ears and feeling in his own bones what went on, it must have appeared that what hap pened Wednesday was a cut and dried affair. Oddly enough, it wasn't. In my judgment, it was a sincere and genuine expression of an ideal that lies close to the hearts of millions of Americans. LET me sketch briefly the nhvsiral aptim The Cow Palace is basically a vast roofed-over, walled-in foot ball stadium. Down on the floor, in what would be the playing field, is the professional part of the convention. The speakers rostrum is located about on the 55-yard line. It faces the space in which are seated the dele gates, to whom the speakers are talking directly because it is the delegates whose voting will register the will of the conven tion. Back of the rostrum and con nected with it by a narrow cat walk is a space occupied by the officers of the convention the national chairman and his staff and those who are scheduled to speak. Back of that are boxes occupied by VIP's, who are so VIP that they are consulted more or less constantly by those who are conducting the business of the convention. fPO the rear of the rostrum, on A on both sides of the catwalk. the space occupied by the working press the traditional Fourth Estate. This space is for those who write and it is equipped with what passes for desks. The press, in these modern days, has been expanded to in clude radio, television, the movie newsreels. the photographers. etc. The TV cameras face the speakers rostrum directly. Other TV cameras are spotted strate gically all around the stadium so as to be able to pick up inter esting sidelights of the general scene. LET us pass on now to the peo ple, whose votes in free, self governing countries such as ours Tomorrow Lippmann son, each in his own way, are saying wiU have to come to the leaders in American life and thought. It does not often hap pen in public affairs, but it has happened now, that on such a crucial point the two leaders are far ahead of their followers. Both will have to worry about their ability to communicate to a large audience their new and unfamiliar ideas. But within their agreement, there is a contrast between the two men. It is the contrast be tween Stevenson, the active leader in the work of a new epoch and Eisenhower, in the role of the elder statesman who in his mind's eye sees a new epoch coming and tells the younger generation to prepare for it. Gen. Eisenhower has usu ally given the effect of being above most of the battle. But on Thursday he spoke with all pas sion spent, as one surveying a distant horizon and contemplat ing from a high place a Prom ised Land. It is not surprising that his address was not univer sally acclaimed among the Re publican rip-snorters. THE President is fully aware, no one more so, that there will be no Promised Land to en ter if the peace is not preserved. But though the chances are good that in the calculable future there will not be a Cold War, I am very much afraid that the President is giving the country an expurgated and prettified view of the international situa tion. In saying this, I am assum ing that the platform and the keynote address reflect his views. They pretend that post-Stalinist Russia and what is often call ed "the great thaw" has been brought about by the Eisenhow er administration, and that these historic changes reflect if not a surrender, at least a great con cession to our demands. This is, I feel sure, a dangerously false reading of the meaning of the events, It ignores the rise of Rus sia as a world economic power. It ignores her breakthrough to a new plateau of competitive strength. On the other hand, it ignores the crumbling of the Western system of alliances all the way from Japan, South Asia and the Middle East to the Balk ans and Germany. No doubt the threat of war has greatly diminished, perhaps disappeared. But the decline of the power and influence of the Western nations, ourselves in cluded, is dramatic, and is gath ering momentum. It will be a great disservice to our people if they are lulled to sleep. Copyright 1956, New York Herald Tribune Inc News nk Jenkins DECIDE EVERYTHING. It is the people toward whom are pointed all this fabulous ma chinery of campaign years in cluding national party conven tions. The people occupy what in football parlance is known as "the stands." It is to them that everything is directed, for it is their votes that will determine the final results. The delegates, after all, are only the servants of those who will do the voting. THAT brings me down finally to what I started out to say, which is this: To cynics of whatever breed this convention which hai just unanimously nominated Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard M. Nixon to be its candidates for President and vice president was doubtless just a steam roller that smashed its way to a prede termined objective. But The cynics will be largely pro fessionals. These tens of thou sands of people here in the stands aren't professionals. They are just PEOPLE who have come here to watch this greatest show on earth. They have brought with them their feelings, their hopes and their aspirations for a better future for their children. CIRCULATING among them listening, not questioning you can't help coming very soon to the positive conclusion that this cross section of America that sits in the Cow Palace stands is in complete sympathy with what has just happened that is to say the renomination of Eisenhower and Nixon for the high offices of President and vice president of the United States of America. To them, it isn't any deal fixed up among politicians. It is SOMETHING THAT OUGHT TO BE. Congressional Quiz (Copyrltht 1S Congressional Quarterly) Q Congress approved thia year a law to give the United States an official national motto for the first time. It is already a familiar sight on the face of U. S. coins. What is it? A "In God We Trust." On the reverse side is the equally familiar "E Pluribus Unum," or, "Out el many, one." Much i AttehtioiTto Focus on VP Election Race During Campaign Washington (CQ) Much of the voting audience this fall may prefer the "sideshow" combat of Vice Presidential aspirants Richard M. Nixon and Estes Ke fauver to that of the main con tenders. Normally, the Vice Presiden tial race rates less attention than the first preliminary bout on a heav., .. eight championship card. Not so in 1956, when two of the country's best-known and most effective campaigners tangle for the job once known as "the stepping-stone to oblivion." Consider the contrasts. How will Kefauver, who apologized for "getting out of character" when he said a few harsh words about his primary opponent, deal with Nixon, whose strategy has Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address ot the writer although under certain circum stances the use ot a pen name or initial for publication is permis sible.

Deplores Auio Ads To the Editor: Recently the Mail Tribune carried an edi torial on kids who get into trouble. Timely I think, because it is our No. 1 domestic head ache and threatens to get worse. What to do about it is, of course, the question. I do not think it a question for a state legislature because the matter transcends state lines. Most of us have known for a long time that the sources of undesirable ideas from which most delinquency stems have their origin in questionable lit trature and offensive pictures, motion and otherwise. Even TV contributes to our difficulties by dramatization of violence and its easy portrayal of what hap pens when you pull the trigger of a hand gun. Gloria Swanson put it very well when she said in substance: How can we expect our young to have respect for a gun when it is used and dis played so carelessly, in some of the media through which our young are entertained? There is another type of de linquency and it is not all juve nile. You may be surprised to know it is fostered, wittingly or no, by the manufacturers of motor cars. It is called highway delinquency, caused by some of the advertising coming out of Detroit. For instance the Ford Motor Company says, "Nobody out-per forms a Ford." Dodge states of its product, "Man, it's dyna mite!" Chevrolet comes up with this one, "Now the hot one is even hotter." There are other similar ads all suggesting by innuendo that motor cars are made primarily today to go fast and even faster. Nothing is said about the unhappy results of such a course although the mor tality tables tell the story. If we must have more laws then I would like to see a few that deal with this proposition before the potential delinquent gets into trouble. We seem to have a surfeit of statutes that deal with the problem after they get into trouble and to my way of thinking that is putting the cart before the horse. So let us say to the motor car makers. "Please tone down your ads," because they are saying to im pressionable persons old and young, that speed somehow is good for all of us, when only the undertaker actually comes out ahead. If it is unlawful to mis-label a package of food, it should also be unlawful to mis-label the use to which an already dangerous instrumentality should be put, for today's automobile is just as lethal as any gun, both of which are handled all too carelessly. Lee Wilmeth 168 Meade St., Ashland, Ore. The Two Conventions To the Editor: The two con ventions have come and gone. The voters can estimate what they are worth. The Republicans said the Democratic was a gas explosion. The Republicans had no explosion. They were too disciplined for that. The Republicans' convention went off like a well drilled play, the bosses gave, the orders and the delegates obeyed. Whatever they offer in the platform is not important. After the Republicans are elected, they will forget all about the Negroes, working men and the farmers. These will be the for gotten men. At the last session of Congress the Republicans united with the Dixiecrats and defeated everything the Demo crats wanted. They defeated the Education Bill and also de feated the cheap power bill known as" the High Dam on Snake river. Eisenhower got his billion dollars for foreign aid, but he vetoed the Internal Bill for improvements. To sum up the Democratic party is the party for the com mon people and the Republican party for big business. Charles W. Sherman, Kerby, Ore. been to "deflatehe opposition?" How will Nixon, the clever phrasemaker and master of mass communications, handle Kefau ver's ponderous display of sin cerity and hand-shaking? Who Will Win? Who will win? The Barefoot Boy from Yale or the Super Salesman from Yorba Linda? Kefauver and Nixon have come to their opposing corners by the same hard road. They bear many of the same scars. Both are from small-town-families of modest means. Kefauver is the son of a Madisonville, Tenn., former businessman. Nix on's family had a grocery store in Yorba Linda, Calif. Both attended local colleges, then went East to law school; Kefauver to Yale, Nixon to Duke. Both came home, prac ticed law and entered national politics by way of the House of Representatives. Kefauver served in the House from 1939-49, in the Senate since. Nixon served two terms in the House before his election to the Senate in 1950. By their vote getting ability, both survived vicious intra-party fights in their home states. Both Owe to TV Television boosted both to na tional prominence. Nixon bet his political reputation on his faith in the testimony of Whittaker Chambers, emerged a hero in the televised exposure of Alger Hiss. Kefauver gave the country a fascinating close-up of the seamy side of life in his televised, cross country crime investigation. Both bring out strong reac tions in voters. Nixon is a solid favorite with Republican party stalwarts, but if the polls can Showers Coyer Much of Nation By UNITED PRESS Showers fell over a large sec tion of the nation today, and cloudy skies in other parts added to gloomy conditions. A cooling trend was noticed over the Rocky Mountains, while warm damp air moved up from the Gulf of Mexico into the South and Great Lakes area. Fair skies and cool tempera tures dominated the Pacific Coast and the far Southwest des ert. Most of the central and nor thern plains also enjoyed fair weather, along with the New England coastal states. Warm, humid weather was to continue throughout the South and move further northward late in the day. In those Midwest areas already hit by the warm air mass.

Hodge Cronies Wait Court Arraignment Springfield, III. (U.R) Two cronies of deposed state auditor Orville Hodge were scheduled to be arraigned here today on charges of aiding Hodge to em bezzle hundreds of thousands of dollars in state money. Banker Edward Hintz, already under a federal three-year sen tence for helping Hodge misap ply funds in federally insured banks, and Edward Epping, Hodge's former office manager. were to be arraigned in Sanga mon county court. It was expected that both would plead innocent to the charges. Meanwhile, Hodge, the cen tral figure of the .scandal, is marking the end of his first week as prisoner No. 25303 at the Menard State Prison. He has many more such weeks to look forward to, as he sits out 12-15 year sentence for em bezzlement. She knows 5r Published as a public serv ice in cooperation with The Advertising Council and the Newspaper Advertis ing Executives A nenciatinru 4 be believed, he is disturbed by many independents. Kefauver is the darling of the farmers and independents but is disliked by influential southern and big city Democratic leaders. Neither man has much solid experience in the executive branch of government to prepare him for possible succession to the Presidency. Kefauver, at 53, can look back only to four months as Tennessee Commis sioner of Finance and Taxation. Nixon. 10 years his junior, has served the President since 1953 as a troubleshooter In legislative, diplomatic and ceremonial du ties. But he has not had personal responsibility for carrying out any major Administration pro gram. Both In Congress The two men served together in Congress from 1947 to 1952 and their votes point up many of the policy differences be tween them. Some specific, thorny disagree ments emerge from the record. In 1947 Nixon voted for the Taft Hartley Act, Kefauver against it. In 1948 and 1952, Nixon voted against expansion of the Tennes see Valley Authority, Kefauver for it. In 1949, Kefauver voted for a five-year public housing pro gram and in 1950 favored direct loans to housing co-operatives. Nixon was against both. In 1950, they split on the In ternal Security Act, requiring registration of Communist and Communist-front groups. Nixon was for it, Kefauver against. They disagree on farm price supports, Nixon advocating flex ible props and Kefauver backing 90 per cent of parity. Kefauver has, at least by implication, chal lenged Nixon's criticism of the neutralist nations of Asia and the Middle East. In 1952 Nixon favored and Kefauver opposed the McCarran-Walter immigra tion law. Some Similarities On certain great Issues of na tional policy, however, the two men make common cause. Aa long ago as 1947, both voted to outlaw the poll tax and both have endorsed the Supreme Court school desegregation de cision as the law of the land. When tfiey were in Congress, they agreed on support of a peacetime draft and universal military training. Both Kefauver and Nixon backed the basic measures of postwar foreign pol icy: the Marshall Plan, NATO and liberalized trade relations. Both sponsored a resolution call ing for a conference among At lantic nations to bind them closer politically and economically. Nixon as a Senator sponsored a version of the Bricker amend ment to limit the treaty-making powers of the President. Their areas of agreement ara likely to drop from view es the campaign progresses. Kefauver got in the first blow In his ac ceptance speech, describing his opponent as a "political sharp shooter . . . providing the smear under the protection of the President's smile." Much more, no doubt, la to come. (Copyright. 1956 Congressional Quarterly) Why Biller Quit GEO. N. TAYLOR When a logger from the camps came into Biller 's place and had money, Biller would get him drunk and throw him out. But one night it all ended. Bil ler awoke to think on his business and his ways and out of it he ac cepted Christ into his heart as having died for him to clear him and give him eter nal life. It all reminds us of the day when Christ bid Himself to eat at the home of wealthy Zac cheus. At the close, Zaccheua said "Lord, I now give to the poor, half of my property and if I have defrauded any man of anything, I will pay him back four times as much." Luke 19:5 6 BIBLE.
