County Park on Roxy Ann
As county governments go, we have a relatively
progressive and forward-looking one.
There is one area, however, in which we are
lagging badly, and it i3 an area where forethought
and early decision are imperative if later regret is
to be avoided.
We refer to county parks.
THE county court can hardly be blamed for this
. error of omission, for popular demand for out
door recreational facilities has, to a large degree,
been satisfied by our few state parks, by the forest
service's camps, and by the city's parks.
Jackson countv has a population estimated at up
wards of 66,000 people (making it about the seventh
inost-populous in the state), and a total of more than
36,000 motor vehicles or more than one vehicle to
each two persons in the county.
As population continues to mount, the time is
coming, and coming soon, when our growing, motor
ized population is no longer going to be satisfied
with the present limited facilities.
The state can be expected to establish perhaps
one or two more state parks in this area, but that's
about all. As we see it, it is up to the county to take
over from there.
AX7"E ARE not alone in that opinion. It has been
shown to be a valid expectation in other coun
ties some of them ahead of us in population, growth
and progress, and some behind us.
Lane county has an active parks and recreation
commission, which is working hard at selecting
favored sites for park use.
Douglas county, which outstripped Jackson a few
years ago in estimated population, has a parks de
i partment, with a budget of $80,470, a department
: head, a foreman ana a regular crew of men. It is
making strides in developing a county parks system,
with particular emphasis on the lower Umpqua.
And it was with both
noted that Josephine county (which has about half
of our population) has a parks commission, a budget
of $5,000 this year, and one part-time employee. The
Josephine park commission
areas dedicated as park
oped, others not yet.
CTARTING a county park system need not be a
large undertaking at first. It could, and perhaps
should, start out modestly with the acquisition of
suitable sites and by suitable we mean those which
would serve their best use as park and recreation
areas, not infringing on lands better-suited to fann
ing or residential or business purposes. There are
plenty of them left, but they will become rarer.
Later, as the demand for development grows, the
county could do whatever work is necessary to bring
the parks up to usable standards. The investment
need not be large, and would be smaller if started
now than if it were delayed.
OUNTY governments are specifically authorized
to do just this under Oi'egon law. Jackson county
could make its start at any time and the ideal time
would be to include at least a token sum for the
purpose in the 1957-58 budget, which will be in
preparation soon.
And to our mind, it would be doing the city of
Medford and the people of Jackson county and their
thousands cf summer visitors a big favor if they
undertook to acquire Prescott park on Roxy Ann
butte (turned down as a state park) and operate it
as a county recreational property.
This paik is valuable for that use only; it logical
ly should not be the responsibility of the city, and it
would furnish the nucleus of a county park system
which would serve the people in their leisure hours
for generations to come. E.A.
Old Fogey's View
At the risk (and a very considerable risk it is,
too) of classifying ourselves as an old fogey, we
hereby align ourselves with those who find the "Elvis
Presley haircut" an abomination.
Not, it should be understood, that we consider it
to be a threat to the stability of the Republic, nor a
sign of decadence, nor even necessarily a symptom
of approaching psychosis.
It's just that the silly things look well, stupid.
TF A MAN (or boy) wants to wear his hair in a way
that makes him look stupid, that's his own business,
and we have no quan-el with him.
It is, perhaps, unfortunate, that the Presley hair-do
has tended to make its possessor suspect in the eyes
of solid (some would say stolid) citizens, including
law enforcement officers.
This is wrong, though natural. The type of mind
which ' would find a Presley hair-do attractive is
capable of worse things: so the line of reasoning
goes. It is incorrect. The Presley hair-do is not the
cause of bad behavior. It is a fad, serious to some,
amusing po others, but it has nothing, of itself, to
do with moral turpitude.
THE respectable matrons now nudging middle-age
who swooned over Crosby or squealed over
Sinatra have proved that teenage fads are neither
fatal nor deleterious.
But we'd like to make one point here, namely:
Crosby and Sinatra and the others who were fad
heroes in their day did not, as we recall, make vulgar
spectacles, of themselves, as does this man Presley.
lt is our reaction to his smirking, wiggling, gargling

!n the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Reports from Budapest say the
SOVIET ARMY has attacked
Hungarian workers in a brutal
effort to crush the nation-wide
strike against the puppet (home
town communist) regime in Hun
gary. Communist chickens are com
ing home to roost.
A general strike on the part
of the workers was Karl Marx's
idea of the finisher-offer that
would destroy the capitalist
world.
Instead, it is beginning to look
like general strikes by betrayed
and brutally oppressed workers
in communist-dominated coun
tries may be the weapon that
will destroy the foul and stink
ing institution of Kremlin com
munism. A NOTHER interesting straw in
the wind:
Walter Ulbricht, communist
boss of East Germany (one of
the communist satellites) has just
published in the official maga
zine of the -East German Com
munist Youth Organization a
threatening letter telling stu
dents and young people generally
that opposition to communism
is futile, and will be shattered,
by force, if necessary.
He blames the "unrest" among
East German youth on Western
radio stations, newspapers and
what he calls "provocateurs."
He urges the students to resist
all efforts to make them un
happy with communism.
His letter is regarded as an
other indication that the East
German communist regime is
worried by an opposition fever
that has been developing among
students ever since the Hungari
an rebellion began.
THE communists have relied
heavily on INDOCTRINA
TION OF YOUTH. They have
believed that if they can catch
the coming generation young
enough and poison their minds
completely enough they can
make dedicated communists of
all of them and thus make the
world safe for communist dic
tators throughout the indefinite
future.
Instead, it is already apparent
that in Hungary, in Poland and
now in East Germany it is the
YOUNG PEOPLE who are lead
ing the revolt against commu
nist oppression.
'THAT is to say:
-- The institution of Russian
communism is so foul that IN
TIME iti must fall of the weight
of its own foulness. No amount
of kidding of the workers, no
amount of indoctrination of the
young, can conceal that fact in
definitely. The truth is beginning to come
out.

Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles startled his fellow mem
bers of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization, meeting in Paris,
by announcing that the United
States could not agree to consult
its allies in advance if a situation
arose which made emergency
action necessary.
Revolt-Riots-Unrest
Hungarian workers called a
48-hour general strike to protest
the arrest of labor leaders. The
puppet regime of Premier Janos
Kadar responded with a decree
of martial law. It threatened
the death penalty against any
who opposed it. The decree serv
ed only to extend the strike
beyond the 48-hour period. New
clashes were reported in Buda
pest between patriots and Rus
sian and Hungarian puppet
forces.
Anti-Communists attacked the
Soviet consulate in the Polish
Baltic port of Stettin and wreck
ed furniture. In Poznan, where
riots last June touched off the
surge of revolt in the satellite
countries, demonstrators de
manded the withdrawal of Soviet
troops from Hungary.
ble with one of my ears. I again
was required to wait a week for
an appointment. Although the
ear doctor felt that the trouble
was perhaps due to low blood
pressure, he would not take my
blood pressure but sent me in
stead to a local doctor. Again 1
had to wait a week for an ap
pointment to have my blood
pressure taken. I finally was ad
vised to buy a hearing aid of
some kind.
I am able to get a manicure
without an appointment, but to
have a corn cut I must get an
advance appointment, and per
haps wait several days! The
whole performance seems irra
tional to me. Doctors are now
setting up offices in the same
building, but this will not solve
my problem. I want to be able to
find all these simple personal
services in one building, and
some day I will be able to do it
And, furthermore, without ad
vance appointment!
Experience With Dentists
For many years I have be
lieved in the importance of hav
ing one's teeth cleaned every
month, but this could not be
done without an advance ap
pointment. When talking to my
associate workers of the im
portance of preventing decay by
monthly cleaning, I found they
were troubled by the same ad
vance appointment difficulties.
Thereupon, I decided to have a
dental nurse in my own building
to do this work, unattached to
any dentist. To my great sur
prise I found this was against
the law and I was obliged to go
to the Massachusetts Legislature
to get a special act to permit it.
Yet we are allowed to teach our
servants or members of our
family to inoculate us with in
sulin. Recently I bought a new home
through a local real estate
agent. Within a few days I had
telephone calls from other
agents stating that they could
get the property for less money.
It would seem that in a town
the size of Wellesley there could
be some central clearing house
where all houses for sale could
be listed. The difficulty seems to
be that people dare not list the
house, or even consult two or
three agencies, for fear of get
ting into a conflict as to who
should have the commission.
The Legal Graft
In the little town of New
Boston, N.H., there is no bank
or lawyer, but a very intelligent
woman has been helping local
people in various ways, includ
ing forms for very simple wills
She has recently been notified
by the attorney of the N. H.
Lawyers Association that she
will be prosecuted if she con
tinues this. I personally went to
see this attorney to plead for her
and he said that the law applies
not only to her but also to banks,
real estate agents, brokers, and
all others. I later found that my
own local bank, which adver
tises for Trust Funds, . must
send you to a lawyer to make
the Trust for you to use.
As a result of these ex
periences, I forecast that simple
professional and other special
services will some day be ob
tainable at one central ground
floor "store" under the charge
of competent nurses or other
trained persons. Certain simple
services which we can now get
only from doctors, lawyers, op
tometrists, opticians, dental
technicians, chiropodists, mani
curists, and real estate agents
we will then be able to secure
without making an advance ap
pointment, and at fees of less
than one dollar. When the nurse
or her assistant locates any dan
gerous symptom, the "customer"
will be urged to visit a doctor,
dentist, lawyer, or other pro
fessional official at once and
will make an appointment there
for. In the end, the public and
all the professions will benefit
from such a procedure.
Mounting student unrest alarm
ed Red authorities in East Ger
many. Moscow dispatches dis
closed that a Communist leader
in Lithuania, which is a part
of the Soviet Union itself, com
plained that "reactionaries" had
"begun to raise their heads."
At Lait
The U.N. Security Council
vote approving Japan's applica
tion for admission came after the
signature of a Russian-Japanese
peace treaty. Russia had blocked
Japan's admission for years.
Japan, once the dominant na
tion in East Asia now will be
fully restored to the family of
nations.
Dulles
Secretary Dulles made his
Paris speech in commenting on
a move to broaden the scope
of NATO so as to include con
sultation on foreign policy by
its members.
Dulles cited the possibility of
a Chinese Communist attack on
Formosa as an instance in which
the United States would have
to act alone.
Dulles' fellow delegates were
surprised by his pronouncement
in view of the angry American
denunciation of the British
French invasion of the Suez
Canal Zone in what they hold
to have been an emergency.
Editorial Comment
CALLING RAILWAYS
TO ACCOUNT
Sen. Richard Neuberger has
opened fire on the railroads in
an attack which will have a
good deal of sympathetic sup
port from Astoria and other Ore
gon communities which have
been deprived of railroad pass
enger service in recent years.
The Oregon senator has issu
ed a statement appealing for
a new formula in computing rail
road passenger costs to replace
the 42-year old interstate com
merce commission formula on
which abandonment of service
here and elsewhere in Oregon
was based. Says Neuberger:
"The fallacy of this formula
is that it charges to passenger
trains many expenses which
would continue even if not a
single passenger coach or Pull
man operated anywhere in the
nation for example bridges,
switching yards, block signal
maintenance and rails. Can these
things be abandoned if the rail
roads turn exclusively to freight?
Of course they can't. Thus, pres
ent passenger losses are not com
puted realistically."
Neuberger mentioned cessa
tion of passenger service to Coos
Bay, Medford, Roseburg, As
toria and Grants Pass, declaring
this abandonment was "short
sighted and behind the times"
and calling upon the state public
utilities commissioner to apply
"modern bookkeeping methods"
in reopening the case.
Neuberger makes the cogent
points that basic costs go on as
long as a railroad is in operation
hauling freight and that passeng
er revenues are therefore vel
vet, and that railroads as public
service institutions have an obli
gation to the public to provide
at least minimum passenger
service.
This community will wish suc
cess to the senator in his cam
paign, and we feel sure will give
him any help within its power.

A Jan. 20, 1957, falls on

do you think invented algebra?
The illiterate Arabs who were
mathematicians, .scientists, as

Ages, the civilization of the an

built the wonderful and beau- f
tiful Alhambra? Who reignod in

world's best literature? Who
composed the Arabian Nights?

chase out an Arab to make room
for a Jew7 Each neeis a home.
And as for the Panama Canal,
we fomented a revolution to
build if. Th English and French
seem to believe in freedom for
the English and the French
and nobody else. Neither coun

Egypt, Indonesia,. Morroco, Tu

They became gusat engineers,

fine linens, had seeing eye dogs,
were fine embalmers, had think

The Arabs' oil and the Suez

to give to the states instead of
keeping our off shore oil for
