There was before congress.
Ward noted, a bill to provide for
a survey and plan of improve

In January, 1933, the harbor
had already "been carefully sur

Yvetta WI tricked him into
marriage.
Jack W. I just can't love and
trust her.
Yvetta W. I come from the
south of France. There I met an
American sodlier and had an af
fair with him. I wanted to marry
him, but he kept putting it off.
Finally, I got desperate and did
something very bad.
I tricked him and told him I
was pregnant. After we were
married I told him the truth.
All that was four years ago.
We have been living in this
country for more than two years
and I love it. We now have a one-year-old
son. I have tried to be a
good wife and mother and keep
a nice home, but my husband
says he just cannot love me be
cause of what I did to marry him.
He says I did it all to come to
America and have an easy life.
That's not true. I can't live with
him this way. I want to go home
to France with the baby, but he
won't let me.
e
Jack W. Naturally, I don't
want to lose my- son. Besides, I
don't believe in divorce. I have
tried to make a good home and
be fair with her, but she de
mands something I am unable to
give her. She demands my com
plete love and trust, and she has
not earned that by deceiving me.
I never deceived her. She
knew when we met that I was a
soldier and that I had no thought
of marriage. I can't help feeling
that what she saw in me was a
good-natured fool who would
provide her with an easier life
in America. AH the girls there
want to marry Americans.
I am not bitter, and I will ad
mit that she has tried to run a
good home. But I can't make-believe
that her deception didn't
ever happen.
e
Tha Council: Both Yvette and
Jack made a bad mistake. Their
premarital affair got their mar
riage off to a bad start, and they
must realize that they will have1
to exercise patience and under
standing in building their new
life.
Yvette acknowledges her mis
takes and she states clearly what
she wants her husband's love
or the right to return to her na
tive country.
What does Jack want?
He says that he doesn't want
to give up his son. He doesn't
want the problems or stigma o
divorce. And he doesn't want tc
love and trust Yvette, in other
words, to come to terms with
married life and accept his full
role as a husband.
But what does he want?
From his statement it appears
that he simply wants to blame
Yvette.
'All the girls there want to
marry Americans," says Jack
righteously and resentfully.
But what about a certain Am
erican serviceman, one Jack W.,
who wanted to have relations
with a foreign girl and casually
leave her behind?
Who is more to blame?
Jack shuns guilt, but his con
science is troubling him. When
it bothers him, he prefers to pul
the blame on Yvette. He is bein
cowardly and unmanly. He needs
to accent his full share of re
sponsibility for the premarital
mistake.
Yvette, on the other hand,
must realize that she used one
of the oldest and most despised
of tricks to snare her husband.
She cannot expect him to treat
her as though this never happen
ed. It will take time and patience
to live down this deception and
prove that she is an honest and
worthy wife. She should not de
mand a showdown but try harder
to build a basis for more love
and respect from her husband.

What the Editor of the Ashland Tidings
Has to Say About Tom Reeder
Reprint from Issue of Oclober 20
The results of a preferential poll taken among
members of the Jackson County Bar association to de
termine their opinion on the candidate best qualified
for the office of district attorney reflects most favor
ably on Thomas Reeder, the Democratic nominee.
Mr. Reeder received 36 votes while the incumbent
Walter Nunley, candidate for re-election on the Re
publican ticket, received 15.
The ballot was conducted by secret vote with
almost all members of the legal profession in the coun
ty sending in their ballots so the result may be accept
ed as fully representative of the opinion of members of
the Jackson County Bar association.
This perferential poll, with its very conclusive
vote in favor of IMr. Reeder, is likely to have consider
able bearing on the decision reached by many voters
who have not yet made up their minds on how they
will vote for district attorney. It indicates that a sub
stantial majority of the members of the legal profession
in this county do not believe that Mr. Nunley has done
a eood job as district attorney and that they feel the
office would be better conducted under the direction
of Mr. Reeder.
There are. in the bar. as in any profession groups
and cliques and undoubtedly some of the attorneys tak
ing part in the preferential poll have tangled with the
district attorney in court. This could account for some
opposition to his re-election, hut certainly not for the
preponderance of opposition shown by the ballot.
Mr. Reeder, who has made several visits to Ash
land in behalf of his campaign, has made an excellent
impression with those he has called on and he is likely
to pick up a good many Reoublican votes in this end
of the county for his evident sincerity impresses those
he contacts.

eral freight" had been handled
He said the lumber and freight
was handled "without one cent
of damage to ships, cargo or to
equipment." The dock still was
standing in 1933.
Breakwater Protection
Ward wrote that a breakwater,
between 2,000 and 3,000 feet
long, "will probably be recom
mended." Protection from such
a breakwater, he said, "will per
mit the construction of many
wharves, all that would ever be
necessary to care for a city of
many thousands, and to dock
ships sufficient to supply all of
southern Oregon, regularly and
safely."
In addition, a small inside har
bor "could be made" by "a jetty
from the Chetco river," which
would confine the river flow and
its tidal basin into the area pro-
Morse in Left-Handed
Shake With Well-Wishers
Eugene lU.R) Sen. Wayne
Morse was shaking well-wishers'
hands with his left hand Friday.
The campaigning senior senator
injured his hand at Corvallis

close on it.

happen to a politician?" he
cniipned as he held the injured
hand aloft for his University of
oicon audience to see.
tected by the breakwater.
The plan suggested by Ward
would "give ... an ideal arrange
ment." Larger ships would dock
at the wharves, and smaller ves
sels would either use the break
water area or the Chetco river,
he said.
"The cost of this work," Ward
wrote, "would be low as there
are ample quantities of suitable
rock readily adjacent to the con
struction . . . Two or two and a
half million dollars would do
all the work that the govern
ment would- be called upon to
perform."
No Additional Cost
He noted that there would be
"no additional cost in yearly
dredging or in expensive main
tenance. The plan is most feasa
ble and very economical."
To connect Brookings with in
terior valleys, Ward mentioned
possibilities of constructing a
railroad eastward along the Chet
co river to Tincup creek, where
a runnel "of some 6,100 feet
would penetrate into the waters
of the Illinois river at an eleva
tion of not much over 1,200 feet
and some forty miles would be
furnished in which to make the
climb."
Ward noted that with agricul
tural resources of interior val
leys, and timber resources of
mountain areas as well ss miner
al possibilities, "the railroad
should soon pay, once normal
conditions prevail."
Ward lived in Curry county
from 1906 until his death in
1936. He was scouting timber
and locations for a large lumber
and box company, which was
then located in St. Louis.
