Then imagine a thousand of them. When that has soaked in imagine, if you CAN, a thousand thousand or a million gallons. Got it? Well, now take a look at the new dam on the St. Lawrence which we have just visited where a million gallons of water rushes over every second! This is only one unit in the billion dollar St. Lawrence Seaway and electric power project, which it will take around two years more to complete. There are about 8.000 men working on the project, divided about equally between the Canadian and American forces, the financing being done by the Province of Ontario and the state of New York but both aided materially by their national govern ments. The farmers of northern New York and Southern Ontario are complaining because they can't get farm hands, or if they do get them, keep them. They make so much more money as day laborers on the project. They will probably forget their peeve when they get their electric bills two years hence! But as of today there are more farmers and their wives milking the cows, assisted by their older children, than has been the case since the panic of 1904. The "hired man," and woman, has disappeared. Before our "official tour" was over we gave up counting the auto trailers but our guess is there are over a thousand in this Massena area. And trailers de lux, as big as Pullman cars, with awnings, flower boxes, bath rooms. Of course most of them have TV sets and all of them radios. In other words instead of these 8.000 workers buying or renting houses the same being scarce and high priced they buy trailers and when the job is finished they have no worries about selling or renting their homes for their homes are on wheels so they merely hitch up the family car and move away, to the next job. The entire "Sea Way" is approximately 60 miles in length and while a public multiple-project, is not concerned with irri gation, fof the annual rainfall in the St. Lawrence valley is, we judge by our two weeks residence, approximately the same as Tillamook. Like TVA it IS concerned with power, transportation and recreation. As before stated ocean going ships no greater than 28 feet draft will be able to travel from Chicago to Liverpool and back again, also Great Lake ore-boats can do the same, but will probably go to New York via Montreal and Quebec. This sort of water travel will be slow but it will be sure and cheap the latter being vital to many large industries, steel, nickel and aluminum particularly. We all had to wear steel helmets during this inspection trip but they were not needed. In fact they were a nuisance when the trip ended in a hunt for Indian arrow heads in one of the excavated areas. Every time Ye Editor bent over to pick up a stone his hat fell off. If we ever take another such trip we will ask for chin straps. In this "pit" we met a professor from Toronto, (Canada) Uni versity who had a knapsack partly full of arrow-heads, pieces of Indian pottery and a few pieces of tomahawks and other early American implements. He casually estimated their age at around 6,000 years. Our family party did not do so well, but the 3-year-old had a fine time playing in the sand. Toronto University is seeking permission to conduct an extensive archeological ex pedition throughout the area. When the project is finished there will be playground, fish ing, picnic and recreation beaches along the Sea Way, the largest one having accommodation for fishing and bathing sufficient for 6,000 people. We can't imagine anyone swimming in the St. Lawrence valley climate now but they say it may warm up any time around the 4th of July and really get torrid. The high steel towers for the electric transmission lines are in place on both sides of the river, there are railroad tracks running all over the place, and miles of coffer and diversion dams. The control tower steel frames are up and look like a good sized skeleton for a new N.Y. skyscraper. Here the perman ent engineers in control will pull and close their switches on a 24 hour basis. A Great Lakes ship line used to advertise extensively under the caption, "In all the world no trip like this." That was around the time of the Chicago World's Fair. Our idea is we have just had it. R.W.R. Annual Jolt School is out. The weather for the past week has been ideal neither too hot nor too cold nor too wet. Householders are well reindoctrinated into the grass mowing-and-watering routines of the season. Ants, moquitoes and flies have made their reappearance. The first cases of sunburn have been soothed and heal ed, and are being replaced by tans. Hawthorne park pool has reopened to an enthusiastic bevy of young sters. It is, in short, vacation time. "THERE are almost as many tpes of vacation as there are people. There is the sit-in-the-shade-in-the-back-yard-and-drink-lemonade kind of vacation. There is the kind whereby the vacationer takes all his savings and goes to New York by plane or train for one glorious fling. There is the working vacation, where the house gets a long-overdue paint job, or the garage gets cleaned out for the first time in five years, or the lawn is entirely dug up and replanted. There are stay-in-hotels-and-eat-out vacations, as well as camp-in-a-tent-and-rough-it vacations. A few hardy souls will put packs on their backs and hike into the wildernesses which can still be found in the far west. Others will toss tent and sleeping bags and assort ed utensils into the back of the car or station wagon, and sample the delights of forest camps and state parks, a different one each night. Others will set up a camp in some beauty spot and stay there in utter relaxation for a week or so. Some will golf, some will water-ski, some will fish, some will explore river channel and lake inlet in a boat. Others will tie a house-trailer to their car and lead the life of homeless nomads for a season. PACH will follow his own tastes and desires, insofar as time and income will permit. But each will have one thing in common: a de sire more, a need for a change of pace, a refresh ing of soul and body, a casting away of mundane and routine chores and worries. - It is the nature of man to require, -from time to time, an opportunity to ''recharge the batteries" of his spirit which only the annual jolt out of his nit can give him.

The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. From Born-Again Christian To the Editor: This letter is written in answer to the editorial in Friday's paper. Let's see you print it. I have never written to your paper before but that editorial was so disgusting to me I had to answer it. The Bible is written to con found the wise, like you R.W.R. Since it is spiritually discerned, only born - again Christians, "suckers" to you, can really un derstand the truth. What is a born again Christ ian? They are sinners who have come to the realization that there is no peace, joy, nor hap piness in a Ufa of sin. Those who have been willing to humble themselves come to the cross of Jesus asking pardon for their ways. Then ask the Holy Ghost or comforter, to come into their lives and by accepting the fact that Christ died for them and that only through the power of Christ can they live righteously. The fact is that only through the shedding of blood is there any remission of sins, so we accept Christ's blood to forgive us and keep us in salvation. If we reject the nether world of the devil, in other words hell, the bottomless pit, place of eter nal torment where the fire never dies, etc., or the gold paved streets of Heaven, then we re ject Christ's teachings. If we reject Christ's teachings we die in our sins and without any re mission of sins is eternal damna tion. Billy Graham could not bring one sinner to repentence without the Holy Ghost, speaking through him, convince the sinner. He, the sinner, could not make a stand for Christ if Christ had not died on the cross shedding his blood for all of us. He was not willing that any should per ish but that all should be saved. The Holy Ghost works through Billy Graham because hundreds of "suckers" like myself pray for those sinners to come to Christ. I am not a preacher, R.W.R., but a builder of homes. But you in your wisidom will never know the sweet joy, the happiness, the hope of Glory in Salvation to come nor the peace that comes to a born-again Christian until you change your attitude. Judge not that you be not judged. Keith B. Lawton Route 2, Box 248G Medford, Ore. Defends Dr. Graham To the Editor: I was amazed by your recent editorial written from New York state, attacking the ministry of Dr. Billy Gra ham. Certainly it is your privi lege to disagree with any man theologically, intellectually, or politically; but I question the moral right to impugn a man's motives with what seems to be an almost complete disregard of the facts available. By your own admission, you did not attend any of Dr. Gra ham's meetings in New York City. It is one thing to question a man's views, but quite another to make him out a faker. I would point out that Mr. Stanley High, senior editor of "Readers' Di gest" magazine, made an inten sive study of the life and min istry of Billy Graham in prep aration for his book. He said, "I have met many skeptics who, having heard him," remained skeptical. I have not met one who, having mustered sufficient courage to hear him repeatedly, did not say that the explanations born of skepticism were not good enough." You imply that Billy Gra ham's motive is one of money. His salary is $15,000 a year. Ad mittedly, this is a bit large for ministers, but certainly this fig ure is not out of proportion to the position he holds in the re ligious would. It surely does not guarantee his place in the "upper income brackets." Graham him self takes no salary direcly from the meetings. Certainly it is dif ficult to conceive how any man in his position could be any more careful in money matters. You state that Graham is "adroit in capitalizing on the fears and frailies of mass human A DlVlN' BOARD? nature." But in speaking about eternal punishment, his empha sis seems much the same as that of Christ. Jesus Christ had more to say about eternal punishment than all .he writers of the Scrip tures combined. No doubt, the emotion of fear can be illegit imately employed; but in an hour when men hold light views of sin, it would be well for America to be reminded that it is a "fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." I feel it is dishonest to attack a man's sincerity without proof. Few religious leaders have more freely iriited critical scrutiny than Billy Graham, and proba bly have ever had more of it. There are many- of us who agree with the Moderator of the United Free Church of Scotland, who said: "The success of his campaigns is due to the fact that every two or three generations God lays His hand on some man, and He has laid His hand on this man." . Haddon Robinson, Assistant Pastor First Baptist Church, Medford, Ore. Editorial Comment LIGHT ON HELL'S CANYON While the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee is looking into the unusual activity of Idaho Power Co. stock in the interval between the granting of its fast tax write-off and the public an nouncement of tljat action, inter est in Gordon Gray's illumina tion of the murky HeU's Canyon situation is still keen. Mr. Gray's disclosures before the Subcommittee were wrested from him by Senator Kefauver's persistent, knowledgeable and skillful questioning. Two conclu sions seem inescapable: one, that the Federal Power Commission's issuance if licenses to the Idaho Power co, for the construction of dams on the Snake river was based on a mistaken premise, and, two, that Mr. Gray, as di rector of the Office of Defense Mobilization, acted on extremely dubious grounds in issuing certi ficates of rapid tax amortization for construction of these dams. The FPC based its issuance of licenses to the Idaho Power Co., in part at least, on the premise that the power potential to be developed by the private con struction of the Snake river dams would be realized "with out expense to the United States." Its action cleared the way for private construction of two low dams instead of Fed eral construction of a single high dam at Hell's Canyon even though the single high dam would generate more power and produce other benefits to the Northwest. In point of fact, how ever, the grant of rapid tax write-offs to the Idaho Power Co. will entail a very appreci able expense to the United States. They give the company, in effect, an interest-free loan for a five-year period; this,means that the Federal Government must pay interest on borrowed money to make up for the tax revenue it foregoes during this time. On March 11, Secretary of the Interior Seaton wrote a letter to Dr. Arthur Flemming, who was then director of ODM, saying in crystal-clear language, "I rec ommend that you deny issuance of the accelerated tax amortiza tion certificates requested by the Idaho Power Co." Mr. Sea ton gave among the reasons for his recommendation that the "net cost to the Government in the case of the Idaho Power Co. application is inconsistent with the basis on which the FPC granted the license to the com pany." Nevertheless, Mr. Gray, when he succeeded Dr. Flem ming as director of ODM, not only issued the tax amortization certificates but tried to conceal from the Senate 'Subcommittee the fact that Secretary Seaton had recommended against doing so. Mr. Gray's concealment of the Secretary's letter entailed a lack of candor far from becom ing to him, and Senator Kefau.- Sahara Bids to Bring France Back to World Power Position By CHARLES M.

WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington IIP President Eisenhower picked one right out of the Coolidge bag of tricks to day when he joined a pla toon of House Republicans at a White House breakfast. It will be a Coolidge trick. however, min us some of the Coolidge trim mings such as Lyle C. Wilson scavenging dogs. Way back there in the boom time 1920s President Coolidge's breakfasts were fre quent, famous and positive puz zlers to his guests. Rarely did. they ever learn why they were invited. Eisenhower, recovered from his stomach upset, is having the' House Republicans in to make friends and influence people Congressional Republicans have been complaining that they have ver performed a significant pub lic service in bringing the letter to light. There is justification for accel erated tax amortization to pro mote the construction of needed defense facilities which would not be undertaken by private concerns without this form of Federal subsidy. But the justifi cation did not exist in the case of the Idaho Power Co's dams. The amortization represented a needless handout to the com pany, defended by Mr. Gray on the dubious ground that other companies had received it with out consideration of the need for such grants as incentives. In the light of this handout and the con siderable cost it involves to the Government, Congress ought now to step in and preserve Hell's Canyon, the choicest dam site on the North American con tinent, for full development by a multiple-purpose high dam that will give the Northwest the power resources it needs. Washington (D.C.) Post. Social Security Applications Rise A total of 1,025 applications for payment under the old age and survivors insurance pro visions of the Social Security act have been forwarded by the Medford district office of the Social Security administration since Jan. 1 this year, W. V. Nusbaum, district manager, has announced. This compares with a total of 587 applications forwarded dur ing a similar period last year. A large part of the increase is due to 1956 amendments to the Social Security law provid ing for payments to women at 62, Nusbaum said. In addition, several applications have been received from self-employed farmers 65 or over who have qualified for payments since be ing brought under the program in 1955. The number of applications from survivors of deceased in sured individuals has also in creased substantially, reflecting the increase in the number of persons covered by the amend ments in the past several years. In addition, the Medford of fice has forwarded about 100 applications since Jan. 1 from disabled persons filing under the new disability insurance provisions of the law. Payments are scheduled to start in July for those qualifying on the basis of work performed prior to be coming disabled who are 50 years of age or over. The Medford social security office serves Jackson and Jose phine counties and is located at 33 North Riverside. This region comprises more than 1,600,000 square miles more than half the area of the continental United States in southern Algeria and the north ern parts of French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa. Proved resources include oil, coal, natural gas, iron, copper, manganese and tin. If France can keep this terri tory, its importance is obvious. The oil alone would give France a great measure of inde pendence, if not complete inde pendence, of Middle Eastern production. i Oil exploration has been con ducted by big private companies and the government, working to gether, since 1947. It was not until early this year, however, that the real potential value of the oil resouces became generally known. . New Company Formed - It was announced in January that the Sahara could fill all of France's need for oil within 15 years. Parties had too little contact with the President. The breakfasts are to mend presidential political fences. Calvin Was Lonesome Not so the Coolidge breakfasts Ike Hoover indicates in his me moirs that Coolidge played tho breakfast host mostly because he was lonesome and wanted to talk. We used to write of Cool idge as "Silent Cal" but it was a misnomer. Coolidge was the talky type. Hoover for 42 years was chief White House usher. On retire ment, he wrote that Coolidge used the breakfast technique more than presidents who pre ceded him. Ike Hoover believed Coolidge's enthusiasm for White House entertaining largely was grounded on knowledge that Congress shortly before had au thorized a White House enter tainment expense account. Coolidge always had mixed parties, Republicans and Demo crats, and could charge costs off to official entertainment. Eisen hower had only Republicans to day and, presumably must pick up the tab for a one-party af fair. "They were simply one of his diversions, ' Ike Hoover wrote of the Coolidge breakfasts. "He would have one whenever the notion presented itself and many times on very short notice. Often we had to seek guests at mid night. "Generally he would ask mem bers of both parties and the meal was charged to 'official enter tainment.' Many of the Demo crats and even some of the Re publicans would hestitate about accepting. They did not like the early hour, eight o'clock. "With few exceptions the breakfasts seemed to have little objective. In fact, we frequently heard a guest inquire upon lea ving: 'Why did he have us here?' The question would go unanswer ed." If there is a lesson in all of this for Eisenhower, it may be that the breakfast hour should accommodate itself to the habits of pongressional politicians ra ther than to the early rising custom of a military man or a New England politician. And the President should mix some among his guests. Coolidge did not do that. The old timers here recall that Coolidge's sud denly summoned breakfast hud dles caused much news excite-1 ment and speculation at the time. But they really did not amount to much. Two Major Tax Bills Signed by Gov. Holmes. Salem (in The two major Democratic tax bills have been signed into law by Gov. Robert D. Holmes. They are house bill 1 which repeals the 45 per cent surtax on income, sets new higher in come tax rates and raises per sonal exemptions from $500 to $600; and house bill 796 which increases the corporation excise tax rate from 5.2 per cent to 6 per cent.

French banking interests an nounced in March the formation of a "French Company of the Sahara" Compagnie Francaise Du Sahara to start exploita tion of oil and other mineral re sources. Drilling for the commercial production of oil in the southern Algerian part of the Sahara re gion was started in May. The fact that France is going into mineral exploitation in a big way indicates its determina tion to hang on at all costs to the territory involved, including Al geria where revolt has reached a new peak of savagery. At the same time, French lead ers are trying to insure that French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa will be con tened parts of the French Union, as the empire now is called. 0 The Sahara could put France back in its position of one of the world's major powers. Eisenhower Gained In Labor Districts In 1956 Election Washington (CQ1 President Eisenhower can add another to his long list of military and political victories. In the 1956 election he routed the Demo crats in the very strongholds of organized labor. Whether his smashing victory in the face of the combined AFL-CIO's opposition indicates the dawn of a new day for the Republican party is problemati cal. Republican candidates for the House did not fare nearly as well in labor centers as the President. Mr. Eisenhower topped his 1952 performance the previousT standard for Republicans in outrunning Adlai E. Stevenson by 139,499 votes in 52 Congres sional districts where labor is strongest. 60 Per Cent These are the only districts where, according to Congres sional Quarterly's tabulation of 1950 census figures, 60 per cent or more of the employed per sons are laborers, foremen or other kinds of blue-collar workj, ers. The districts include such in dustrial and union centers as New York, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Los An geles, Baltimore, Gary, Jersey City, Youngstown, Providence, Wheeling and Montgomery. Congressional district returns published recently by CQ show Mr. Eisenhower carried 29 of these 52 labor strongholds in 1956, compared to 17 in his first race. Big Percentage Gain His share of the vote in these labor strongholds climbed from 45 per cent in 1952 to 51 per cent in 1956. The 6 per cent gain in these districts compares to a 2.2 per cent gain for the Presi dent in the country as a whole. He gained strength in all but three of the 52 labor districts. The exceptions came in Detroit, Philadelphia and the Spartan burg, S. C, area. Officials at the AFL-CIO Com mittee on Political Education (COPE) attribute Mr. Eisenhow er's gains in labor districts to the tense Middle East situation on election day. Foreign policy considera tions, not domestic concerns. dominated the voting," a COPE spokesman says. "Labor's sup port of a liberal domestic policy shows in the Congressional vot ing." Hold Advantage Democrats hold a big advant age in House seats from the 52 labor strongholds, and the GOP has not been able to better its position in the past four years. Republicans won 12 of the 52 House seats from the big labor districts in 1952. They lost two of the districts both in Penn sylvania to the Democrats in 1954. In the 1956 Congressional vot ing the Republicans scored a net gain of one seat, bringing their holdings to 11 of the 52 seats. They ousted incumbent Demo crats in Jersey City and Wheel ing but lost a seat in Maine's September voting. (Copyright 1957.
