Red Hats and UMC
Two wholly unrelated projects got under way this
week.
They are the annual fund - raising drive of the
United Medford Crusade, which began Tuesday, and
the state-wide "Red Hat Days," which start today.
They are unrelated in purpose, but they do have
one similarity which is worthy of note. They are both
organized efforts of a lot of unselfish people to ac
complish something for the good of the community
as a whole. '
THE United Medford Crusade should be well known
to everyone in Medford, for it is an organization
which has the double purpose of providing support
for 25 worthy agencies, and only making one fund
drive each year, rather than a separate one for each
agency.
It is not strictly a "charitable" organization, al
though several of the agencies have charitable pur
poses. Mainly, however, money raised by the UMC
goes to groups which have the purpose of making this
a better community and a better state.
Who, for instance, can imagine an up-to-date and
progressive city without a YMCA, without the ;Boy
and Girl Scouts, without the Salvation Army or Camp
Fire Girls or Red Cross? These are not "charities"
exactly, in the sense that they customarily provide aid
for the destitute. But they certainly are organizations
which no city would want to be without.
.
IN ADDITION, UMC contributions go for the support
A of more than a dozen other organizations which do
classiiv as chanties groups which care lor : un
wanted or dependent or orphaned children, for unwed
mothers, for prison improvement, and so on.
The third group assisted by contributions are the
health agencies those which provide research and
educational funds for cancer, rheumatism and arth
ritis, mental health.
If one has any interest at all in the well-being of
the community, the UMC could be classed as a great
bargain. And that s just what it is.
i
"DED Hat Days," with a differing objective, also
works for the p-ood of the community ! the
safety of Oregon's thousands of hunters, and for the
well-being of the ranchers and loggers and the ret of
us who depend on forests and fields for our basic
economy.
An unthinking shot fired, or a burning match or
cigarette tossed away, can lead to tragedy.
- The objective is to raise the level of thoughtful
care of those who do use field and forest, to save lives,
to prevent injuries, and to avoid fire.
The Red Hat pledge binds one "to be law abiding,
to respect the rights and property of others, and to be
careful with fire and fire arms." In other words, use
your head and follow the Golden Rule.
It's simple enough, but it's extremely important.
E.A.
On Walking to Work
In today's mechanized society, the man who walks
to work is m such a minority as to be something 01 a
phenomenon. , -' ' '
A man who works in our office, who has been
waging a lackluster (and losing) skirmish against en
croaching avoirdupois, recently joined the depleted
ranks of those who walk at least in the morning.
How long his resolve will remain firm is a question
in the minds of his family and co-workers.
OUT, for the nonce, he has the satisfaction of feel-
ing self - disciplined and determined; he waves
away rides with cheery abandon, and trudges happily
through the fresh morning air.
The proferred rides, however, may ultimately be
his undoing. The first day he was offered three in the
course of the two-mile walk; the second day it was
four; the third day five. He sometimes wonders how
his will power can persevere in the face of such gen
erosity. ' .
Meanwhile, he has discovered things. He has dis
covered that one can get a really good look at a new
building in the 30 seconds or so it takes to walk past
it a far more detailed inspection than is possible in
the brief moment it takes to drive by.
LIE HAS found that other householders, too, have
crabgrass and dandelions, and it somehow pleases
him to know that he is not alone in that problem. He
has watched the Fire Chief drive by on his way to
work, casting a professional eye at the trash fire en
route. He has seen the early-workers the garbage
men, milk men, and others performing their matu
tinal chores. As his brisk four-miles-per-hour pace
.brings him into the downtown area, he finds pleasure
in the window shopping which he is now permitted.
These are all on the "plus" side of the equation.
And another plus has been the beauty of the mid
September mornings; cool, fresh, invigorating, color
ful, and with the later heat of the day only a promise
in the gleam of the sun.
The minus side contains the aching shin-muscles
in legs long accustomed to sedentary ease ; the damp
glow of perspiration at the end of the journey; the
generalized discomfort which he hopes one day soon
may be translated into what his physician calls "good
muscle tone."
A ND what, he thinks forebodingly, of the winter
days when darkness remains long after his arising
and departing, and when pelting rain, or even snow,
will dog his steps? What of those days when Roxy
Ann wears a mantle of white, and gloves, eanhuffs
and overcoat are near-necessities?
That, he has decided, falls into the "we shall see
what we shall see" category. E.A.

Accuse P
Fumbling
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (IP! Such dis
similar public figures as Gov
Averell Harriman of New York
and Sat c h m o

hot horn, are
alike in accus
in Pres i d e n t
Eisenhower of
f u m b ling the
Arkansas inte

Armstrong is

which the Negro vote is one

They evidently are alike in de

Gov. Orval E. Faubus who call

Little Rock, Ark.
Harriman, with former Presi

Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.)

in duty in his relation with inte

and the others are members of
an advisory committee which

Party.
Armstrong More Vigorous
Armstrong disapproved of the
President in more vigorous lan
guage and, what with one thing
and another, it appears that the
Republicans have not yet made
much political hay in the civil
rights pasture.
It is strange that this should
be so because many persons be

rights during Eisenhower's
White House tenure than in all
the years Franklin D. Roosevelt
and Harry S. Truman lived
there. Roosevelt never got
around to a powerhouse effort
for civil rights legislation. Tru
man tried and failed.
Equally strange is the fact
that Vice President Richard M.
Nixon has escaped, so far, blame
for whatever the administra
tion's critics dislike in Eisen
hower's handling of Faubus.
Nixon has been the administra
tion whipping boy, especially
in the area of rights and the
alleged violations thereof.
There has been over the years
a substantial effort to get rid
of Nixon before he could get
his name on top of a Republican
presidential ticket and, maybe,
be elected. He probably would
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Senator Warren Gill of Leb
anon tells a reporter that Ore
gon Republicans have agreed to
four-point program of action
at the special session of the Ore
gon legislature that will start on
Oct. 28. These, he says, are the
four points:
1. Reduce existing tax rates
so as to eliminate all but 10
million dollars of the State's 69-
million-dollar surplus.
2. Repeal the automatic state
property tax law.
3. Pass no appropriation mea
sures for new expenditures.
4. Oppose the introduction or
passage of new general legisla
tion not related to reduction of
taxes or surplus.
S a program, it is sound
L enough.
The big question is CAN IT
BE CARRIED THROUGH?
The Republicans are the min
ority party in the Oregon legislature.
They can't guarantee anything.
be taking a public licking now
for any administration sins of
omission in dealing with Faubus
but for the fact that the vice
president long since has been
firmly on record with respect
to civil rights and Negroes.
Ho supported last January the
effort in the Senate to curb fili
busters by changing Senate
rules. The proposal lost, 55-38.
Nixon and Sen. William F.
Knowland (R-Calif.) were chief
administration strategists in the
Senate maneuvers over the 1957
civil rights bill. Southern sena
tors resented and denounced
Nixon's show of sympathy for
Negro voters.
As of now, Nixon equally
with Knowland, would be like-
V to attract Negro votes if
either were nominated by the
T 1 i ; m .
iiepuciicans ior president in
1960. Whether Eisenhower
would attract or repel Negro
voters is a matter of less im
portance because he will not be
a candidate again.
It is possible, therefore, that
to say the Republicans have not
made much political hay in the
civil rights pasture is to over
state the case, The President
may not have made much or
any. Nixon and Knowland, how
ever, may wind up with a full
barn.

Family Doctor Needed
To the Editor: Seldom has Dr.
Alvarez offered more valuable
advice than that given recently
in his Mail Tribune column when
he urged those in need of a
physician to seek "a good family
doctor." '
The Rogue valley has a con
centration of able doctors, yet
it is difficult to secure adequate
medical care due to the unfor
tunate tendency of so many to
limit their practice. Thus, in
stead of general practitioners,
we have clinics abounding in
which groups of doctors set up
shop together, each concentrat
ing on one special aspect of pa
tients' maladies. Conceivably
this has advantages. The doctor
with limited practice can gain
more knowledge in his chosen
field than the general practi
tioner can hope to acquire.
It also has disadvantages in
that no one in such set-ups ever
seems to have time or interest
in seeing the whole picture.
Thus when John Doe enters
the clinic, Dr. A. checks his
heart condition; Doctor B. de
votes his attention to John's di
gestion; when in comes Dr. C.
and decides surgery is indicated.
Unless he is willing to take time
to confer with his colleagues,
which seems not to be custom
ary, judging from a recent un
happy experience in my own
family, it is possible for the pa
tient "to' die cured" since the
surgery may be wholly success
ful, yet other aspects of John's
medical history which Dr. C.
loftily chose to ignore as being
outside his field, may well prove
fatal, or at the very least, serve
to greatly hamper John's recov
ery.
Unless we are very young,
most of us are not so fortunate
as to have had only one ailment
or one injury. As these multiply,
each leaves its mark in our phy
sical make-up, and each reacts
with the others and with each
new disease or injury we ac
quire. Hence the family doctor
is better qualified to treat his
patients adequately, precisely
because he sees ill persons as
complete human beings. If more
knowledge is required than he
possesses he refers his patient
to a qualified specialist, but he
does not step out of the picture.
Instead he remains as the coor
dinating element which is so
sadly lacking in our local situa
tion yet which is so highly essen
tial if patients are to be restored
to health.

Roger V Bans..n the Strong.
The basic reason is that manu
facturers in order to counter
act increased wage demands
are . constantly reducing their
other costs of production. Al
though the retail prices of most
goods have gone up, yet, except
for labor, the cost of actual
manufacturing has declined. New
machinery, electronics, automa
tion, and other new develop
ments are seeking to overcome
the effects of higher wages. As
a result, there is a constant
struggle between the labor-lead
er and the inventor. This results
in increased production and a
surplus of goods. Manufacturers
then are forced to create more
customers and sell more goods
in order to keep their plants
running at full volume. Only as
a manufacturer is running at
full capacity is he able to pay
higher wages and produce goods
at lower cost.
Subsidies
Certainly if farmers who
are really manufacturers re

from Congress, many manufac-

work out a compromise that
would win the support of his
minority government by disput
ing Conservatives and leftists
on a home-rule plan for ,Algeria.
The conservatives wanted the
plan strengthened so as to safe
guard French control over Al
geria. The Socialists demanded
enactment of the plan as writ
ten. .-.
If Bourges-Maunoury got over
the hurdle on Algeria, he would
be faced by another fight on his
system of farm price controls,
which he imposed last month as
a curb on inflation.
Farm interests, which have
powerful representation in Par
liament, demand that the con
trols be scrapped.

Good News of Week

The week's good and bad news

on
Tough old Konrad Adenauer,
chancellor of West Germany,
won a big victory in a parlia
mentary election.
Adenauer's Christian Demo
cratic Party and its allied Ger
man Party won 277 seats out of
the total of 497 in the Bunde
stag, controlling house of Parlia
ment, for a four-year term.
This gives Adenauer a major
ity of 67 votes over the com
bined opposition the Socialists
with 169 seats and the Free
Democrats with 41.
its own.
I think everyone will agree
that an overhaul of Oregon's tax
structure is too important to be
tackled at a special session of
the legislature. All in all, it will
be better, as Hamlet suggested
in his immortal soliloquy, to J
"bear those ills we have than to
fly to others that we know not
of."
It was a victory not only for
Adenauer but for the Western
Allies. It was a corresponding
defeat for Soviet Russia.
Russia had campaigned openly
and savagely against Adenauer
in its propaganda broadcasts be
cause he has brought West Ger
many into the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and be
cause he is a bitter foe of in
ternational Communism.
TUMPING from Oregon to the

the overthrow was an unwel

one of the eight members of the

Thailand. Pibul was firmly pro-
Western.
The United States had strong

shal Sarit Tftanarat, who led the
coup, is represented also as be

But he and those associated with
him may be influenced by a

The United Nations General
Assembly opened its. 12th an

On its program for discussion
were disarmament,, Russian in

that Red China be admitted to
membership, the future of Cy
prus and the Algerian rebellion.
Secretary of State John Foster

turers are entitled to the same
help. All of this, however, re
sults in severe competition which
is profitable to no one. To keep
labor employed and the factory
working at full volume, manu
facturers have encouraged in
stallment sales and other means
of coaxing people to buy more
goods than they really need, or
to buy them before they need
them. This means that when un
employment begins, housewives
will be so stocked with new
furniture, electric utilities, and
clothes that they will be able to
stop buying almost everything
other than food. Furthermore,
the food bill can be greatly cut,
probably resulting in better
health for the family.
The future of employment is
therefore in the hands of the
consumers. As long as consum
ers continue to increase their
purchases, conservative manu
facturers will get on satisfac
torily. When, however, consum
ers begin to economize, then un
employment will follow and
most manufacturers will be
headed for trouble. This means
that retailers have a great re
sponsibility. Although retailers
are dependent on the consumers,
who are the source of real pow
er, yet consumer buying is large
ly influenced by the attitude of
retailers.
Most retailers are now not
doing their part to prolong pros
perity. Golf courses, luncheon
dates, bowling alleys, boating,
and automobiling are taking the
time of retailers who ought to be
in their stores. Customers are
not being given the indivdual
attention which they like. Mer
chants are making it harder to
buy through self-service, poorly
arranged stock, and careless ad
vertising. What Retailers Should Do
The next depression will be
brought on by automobile con
gestion or by the fear of Fallout
due to the threatened Russian
"tests." Parking meters are help
ful in preventing all-day parkers
from hogging the streets; " but
parking meters may reduce the
amount of merchandise sold.
After I drop my coin into a
parking meter, I cannot forget
the meter. I have it constantly
in mind as I am shopping. This
worry about the parking meter
causes me to buy fewer goods
than I would buy if it were not
for my parking meter worry.
All of this means that downtown
retailing is in a chaotic condi
tion. Evening shopping may be
an answer to the parking prob
lem., I once asked John D. Rocke
feller Sr. how a retailer could
make more money. He replied,
"Live over the store and be
available to customers from 6
o'clock in the morning until 9
o'clock at night." This does not
necessarily mean that the store
will be "open," or that the re
tailer will spend more money
; for more employees. (Mr. Rocke
feller, of course, was a great be
liever in better lighting, wheth
er by candles, kerosene, gas, oil,
or electricity.) Then he con
tinued: ' "Next to well-trained
employees and proper lighting
and advertising, merchants
should keep their stores open
longer hours. Evening shopping
is coming."
