Pride and
Jackson county now

county. It is a cause for
accomplished.
The work has been the
accusations from some people who have little under
standing of its purposes,
it is trying to accomplish.
The best explanation of what a detention home
is, and does, and what more is needed, is contained
in the remarks made last Sunday at the dedication by
Judge William S. Fort, who handles juvenile matters
for the Lane county circuit court.
DECAUSE of its timeliness and importance, his
talk is reproduced here,
"An occasion of this
pride and satisfaction. Pride on the part of the com
munity because the construction of this building testi
fies to the reality df its interest in the problems of
its delinquent and dependent youth. And satisfaction
on the part of many individuals whose untiring efforts
over a long period of time
of this building a reality.
"The building itself will be an inspiration to the
personnel of the juvenile
for the carrying on of the
which is daily required of them. It is an awareness,
too, of the fact that the juvenile phase of the work
of the court is different from that which the public
has come to consider as the job of the court.
"Normally, the circuit
with the problem of adjudication. In the juvenile
Dhase. however, the adiudication as to whether a
child be delinquent or dependent is not the termina
tion of the responsibility of the court, but rather a
recognition that the responsibility has only just begun.
The court has a continuing duty and responsibility
both to the child and to the

not follow that its responsibility toward delinquent
and dependent youth has been taken care of. There
are a multitude of questions which the people must
ask themselves and to which ultimately a satisfactory
answer must be given. Such questions as :
"Do you have adequate personnel to operate the
department including this building?
"Do the police agencies, the welfare department,
the health department, the medical society, the bar
association, the private agencies such as the YMCA,
the Boy and Girl Scouts and the Parent-Teacher asso
ciations, and the district attorney's office understand
their relationship with the
Does the juvenile department understand its rela
tionship with each . of these agencies?
"And are these agencies adequately staffed and
equipped to discharge their responsibilities?
-
"I SUGGEST that this building is to the juvenile
problem what a hospital is to the health problem.
Like a hospital, the services which will be rendered
here will be in the area of cure, rather than preven
tion in its true meaning of immunization.
"Neither the building nor the department can
be devoted, save to a very limited degree, to preven
tion in its true sense. This distinction between preven
tion and cure is of great importance.
"Juvenile delinquency and dependency arise out
of many causes. Constructive action in the field of
prevention is not possible unless the community
understands these causes and takes constructive steps
to cope with them.
"Why in the span of a very few years do we sud
denly find we have a serious, widespread juvenile
problem in America? Are people today any different
than they were 100 years ago?
THERE are several important factors. Among
them are:
"1. The sociological changes accompanying the
shift from a predominantly rural to an overwhelm
ingly urban society; and a decrease in the size and
importance of the family as a unit.
"2. Working mothers.
"3. The "dull normal" child, and all the problems
associated with their schooling and development.
"4. The rise in adult crime, and its effect on
juveniles.
"5. The strains which mental illness and serious
emotional instability introduce into the home.
' "6. The motor car, the greatest source of juvenile
crime, in the form of car thefts, stealing gas, car
parts, and the like, and the instrument without which
many juvenile offenses would not be committed.
"7. Divorce and broken homes.
''T'HE factors which have been mentioned have all
1 become effective within the past 15 to 20 years.
There are other causative factors which are still very
much alive. One such is alcoholism. Sexual urges have
not changed. Sheer brutality is still a part of some
men's makeup. One could enumerate many more.
"All of these factors, old and new, combine to
present a great and continuing challenge. It will not
be quickly solved, for some of them will always be
with us, and new ones will appear. Sound solutions
will be found for most, if not all of them, only at the
community level.
"It is apparent from the existence of this building
that the people of Jackson county are indeed mindful
of the problem. They have already accepted the
challenge.
"I feel sure that your youth will be better served
than will those in many, many communities, because
of the spirit, the intelligence, and the interest to which
this building so eloquently testifies. May God speed
you in your work." E.A.

Crater Lake Missiles
To the Editor: Crater Lake
National Park can easily be
made into an ideal site for
launching test rockets. It has
combined desirable features
which cannot be matched any
where else in the U.S.
The surface of the lake is over
6,000 feet in elevation, which, to
rocket engineers, is a valuable
asset. The higher the site, the
less fuel required to get out of
the dense and higher-resistant
atmosphere. The launchings from
high-flying balloons duly ex
emplify the experts' considered
worth, of every elevated foot.
The area is gifted with con
stantly clean air because it is
surrounded by 20 or more miles
of tall timber. Coastal Florida
and White Sands, N.M., are
often plagued by fine sand
stirred up by moderate winds.
This sand sifts into delicate rock
et parts unless costly precautions
are taken.
The lake surface rarely has
any wind and visibly indicates
this feature by its usual mirror
surface. Some launching at pres
ent sites have been repeatedly
delayed because of surface wind
conditions which, as yet, seem to
be a hazard to initial control.
Now these big birds weigh
many tons,, and starting of mo
mentum is obtained at a precious
sacrifice in fuel. Why don't we
copy from the roller-coasters
and start our launchings down
hill?
Crater lake is rimmed by high
bluffs. Inclined ledges could be
cut along these bluffs and steel
rails then be laid to produce a
smooth railway for the rocket
roller-coasters. The lofting sec
tion of the railway could be in
clined from the lake to the sum
mit of Mt. Scott which is about
3,000 feet above the east side of
the lake.
For rockets so designed that
they must be launched vertical
ly, the steep bluffs can be an
ideal support for vertical steel
guides.
The cold deep water of the
lake could be a convenient place
to store some of the rocket fuels.
Some of these fuels, such as li
quid oxygen, fare best when
stored under stable conditions of
temperature and pressure.
It is almost needless to now
state that the lake itself would
afford ideal conditions for test
launchings from floating or
under-water pads. The water is
pure and so would have little
corrosive effect on critical parts.
For all-around firings, the geo
graphical location can hardly be
matched. To the southeast there
is over 1,500 miles of sparsely
settled land continuing on to the
southeast large urban area can
be missed.
With the cooperation of Can
ada, firings can be fanned out in
any northerly direction to test
the effectiveness of our recently-
completed "Distant Early Warn
ing" line.
The puny efforts of the keep
ers of these Strang birds can
barely deface the beauty of the
lake.
Now don't take this chatter
seriously, for even a cuckoo
knows better than to try for the
moon by rolling down hill but
I don't.

HEf&.tfXJNG WHAT? Weil,
Chicory Blooms
To the Editor: Men-folk are
not all-wise. Here's a masculine
fraility item: Early one morning,
writer motored to one of his
ranches. More than 10 miles of
the road were beautiful with
chicory's blue blooms. Same
stimulated memories of introduc
tion of this European plant into
California. This in pioneer days,
when our first levees were built
by mulepowered Fresno scrap
ers. (No one then dreamed of a
250-foot-boom dredger, its clam
shell biting a ton of earth.) San
Francisco's French colony want
ed chicory to mix with their
coffee. One riverbank rancher
planted experimentally. His
ranch became "The Chicory
Ranch." This alien became a
roadside weed. It displaced na
tive wild flowers. Thus, com
plete displacement of native
flora by this one outlander.
In yesteryear's Sacramento, an
attorney was Scottishly-thrifty.
He yielded, however, to his
wife's entreaties for money for
a party. Discussing costs, she
mentioned floral decorations. He
said: "We can save THAT ex
pense. I'll get something to star
tle your guests." He decorated
their home beautifully with arm
fuls of blue chicory blooms. Bio
logically illiterate, he did not
grasp its flowers close at noon.
At luncheon time, it was too
late to substitute from the flor
ist's. That mansion contained
vases of wiry, stiff ugly stems,
with withered, colorless blooms.

Grateful For Dog
To the Editor: No doubt news
paper advertising is one of the
greatest blessings of our times
Three months ago I was for
tunate enough to read an ad in
this paper, offering German
shepard dogs for sale. It gave a
Central Point telephone number.
Upon calling the number I con
tacted Mrs. Herndon, owner of
the kennel. I visited the home
after having made an appoint
ment with Mrs. Herndon. When I
arrived I was immediately aware
of the immaculate looking ken
nel and the truly beautiful pups
inside the kennel.
I purchased one of the fe
males and took it home. Ever
since then it has been a constant
source of pride and joy to
watch Shela grow into maturity
Her splendid physique and
magnificent carriage are some
thing to behold, as though she
wanted ,all the world to know
that she was prrjud of her an
cestry. I wouldn't part with
Shela for any amount of money.
I sincerely wish v Mrs. Hern
don the success she so richly
deserves for raising such beau
tiful dogs.

Ben-Gurion Set on
West Germany Ties
Jerusalem, Israel (IP) Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion is
so set on establishing diplomatic
relations with West Germany he
will throw the leftists out of his
cabinet if necessary, informed
sources said today.
Ben-Gurion averted an immed
iate cabinet crisis by backing
down Tuesday on plans to send
an emissary to negotiate diplo
matic relations with Bonn.
The Prime Minister has fa
vored this as a way to strengthen
Israel's ties with the North At
lantic Treaty Organization.
Left wingers claim it would
endanger Israel's chances of pro
moting friendship with the Com
munis bloc.
Informed sources said Ben
Gurion plans to renew his cam
paign at the earliest opportunity
and wil if necessary, oust the
left-wing (Mapam and Ahduta
voda) parties from his coalition
cabinet to achieve diplomatic re
lations with Bonn.
Adenauer
At NATO;
By CHARLES McCANN
United Press Correspondent
West German Chancelor Kon
rad Adenauer has emerged as the
Key man at the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization meeting in
Pans.
It is clear
that no big de
cisions can be
made at the 15
nation confer
e n c e without
Adenauer's full
approval.
The ramrod
straight old
man he will
Cbarles McCann
be 82 years old on Jan. 9 is the
most forceful figure at the con
ference table.
And he speaks for Europe's
most prosperous, and potentially
most powerful country.
Adenauer set the tone for the
NATO meeting right at its start.
President Eisenhower and Sec
retary of State John Foster Dul
les had gone to Paris thinking of
the establishment of missile bases
in Western Europe as the chief
issue.
Inserts New Question
But. Adenauer put first the
question of trying to find out
just what measure of sincerity,
if any, there may be in Soviet
Russia's "peace offensive" the
letters which Premier Nikolai A.
Bulganin addressed, in advance
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Some interesting figures:
The world's population is in
creasing at the rate of 123 thou
sand persons PER DAY.
This is four times as fast as
world population growth in the
17th and 18th centuries and
twice as fast as world growth of
population in the past 100 years.
Modern medical and health
measures have cut DEATH
RATES, and this, rather than in
creased birth rates, is the rea
son for the burgeoning of world
population.
rpHESE figures are vouched for
A by a private research group,
the Population Reference Bureau
which says the speed-up in pop
ulation is threatening the eco
nomic future of UNDERDEVEL
OPED nations.
Why?
The answer Is rather simple.
These underdeveloped nations
(of which India is an outstanding
example) can't produce food as
fast as they are producing PEO
PLE. IF THOMAS ROBERT MAL
THUS, who was born in the
middle 1700's, is sitting some
where up on a cloud and listen
ing to some kind of interspacial
radio, he must be saying "I told
you so."
In his Essay on the Principle of
Population (published in 1798)
Malthus contended that popula
tions increase more rapidly than
food supplies. So, he claimed,
there will always be more people
in the world than can be fed. and
wars and disease will be neces
sary to kill off the extra popula
tion. IN HIS day, Malthus' gloomy
theory seemed rather reason
able. But
In Malthus' day, the United
States of America and its great
neighbor to the north the Domin
ion of Canada, hadn't hit their
stride. Both were then weak and
struggling little colonies. Their
way of life was then more or
less the way of life of the Old
World.
Since then, they have devel
oped a way of life of their own.
In the United States and Canada
of TODAY, populations are grow
ing EXPLOSIVELY. But in the
United States of America and
the Dominion of Canada there is
no longer any fear of starvation
based upon inability to produce
enough food to maintain our bur
geoning populations.
Our big problem is how to get
our big food surpluses CON
SUMED. Our big job is to increase pro
ductive industry to the point
where our industrial workers
will be able to consume the abun
dance of food that our farms are
capable of producing.
No longer are Americans and
Canadians compelled to face the
specter of ultimate starvation
UNLESS WARS AND DISEASE
CARRY OFF THE POPULA
TION before too rapid growth
exhausts the food supply.
ALL this has come about be
ranso nf h Ampriron onrl
Canadian way of life. t
It will do us no harm to re
member that in this cold war we
are now engaged in this way of
life of ours is at stake.
If the communists win, OUR
way of life will be gone.

Emerging as Key Man
Missile Solution Seen
of the NATO meeting, to its lead
ers and to the leaders of all coun
tries which belong to the United
Nations.
Adenauer suggested that the
NATO countries use normal dip
lomatic channels to sound out
the Soviet government on any
specific ideas it might have for
East-West talks to ease the cold
war tension.
Dispatches from Paris soon
began to say that an agreement
along the lines of Adenauer's
proposal was being worked out.
Adenauer said in his speech at
the opening business meeting
that, pending any possible agree
ment with Russia, the Allies
must be equipped with ad

of our potential enemy."

Editorial Comment
WATER RESOURCES
Last week the Water Re
sources Board held hearings
in the Rogue River basin, at Med
ford and Grants Pass. This has
long been an ai-ea of sharp con
troversy. -The conflicting inter
ests include fishermen who re
gard the Rogue as prime fishing
water whose attractions are a
great economic asset, irrigation
ists who want more water for
thirsty acres, advocates of flood
control who point to ravaging
floods in the Grants Pass section
of the river, industrialists and
miners who would like to use
river water for their operation.
The Reclamation Service spent
several years making surveys of
the basin, and came up with aler
nate plans for development. The
opposition, especially of conser
vationists, was so strong that Sec
retary Oscar Chapman of the
Interior Department, put them
on the shelf. The bad floods of
two years ago led to appeals
for relief so the Corps of Engi
neers undertook studies for flood
control and water use. Its report
will be ready in 1958.
Judging by newspaper reports
the hearings at Medford and
Grants Pass were not as acri
monious as in the past. Clearly
the 1955 flood when trout and
steelhead were left stranded by
the thousands on the upland
has tempered the resistance of
the fishing interests to dams
across the Upper Rogue. Testi
mony was offered too of im
proved fishing on other streams
because of the release of stored
water in seasons of shortage of
flow.
Spur to this inquiry was the
desire of those interested in in
dustrial development to remove
the ban to use of the river for
such a purpose. Here the con
cern was not only over diversion
of water but possible pollution
of the river through the return
flow from industry.
Presumably the Water Re
sources Board will wait for the
report of the Corps and then
draft its own recommendations,
seeking to reconcile as best it
can the conflict over resource
conservation in the Rogue basin.
Having been an early advocate
of such a state agency it is grati
fying to this writer to see it be
gin to function as a nonpartisan
body, soliciting the opinions of
informed persons and interested
groups, but making its deter
mination on the basis of the long i
term, broad public interest. Its
testing will come of course when ;
it makes its determinations, but
it is my hope and expectation
that they will be wise and con
structive. Oregon Statesman,

is being worked out.
But undoubtedly the sounding
out of Russia will come first in
carrying out of any agreement.
Adenauer shares the misgiv
ings of some of the smaller
NATO allies on the advisability
of establishing bases equipped
with weapons which would be
used if a big-scale nuclear war
broke out. Russia has warned re
peatedly that these bases would
be prime targets.
Behind Adenauer's line of pol
icy in the Paris meeting is his
No. 1 objective in life the re
unification of Germany.
Obviously, reunification lies
far in the future. Russia will not,
in fact it can not, agree to reuni
fication until the whole JSurope
an picture has changedTo Rus
sia, Communist East Germany is
both a springboard for an inva
sion of western Europe and a
buffer against an invasion of

But every move that Adenauer
makes in foreign affairs is made
with eventual reunification in
mind.

Adlai Stevenson has closed
out his work as consultant with
the state department on inter
national affairs. He was invited
by President Eisenhower to go
to Paris for the NATO meeting,
but declined. He was not in full
accord with some of the ideas
to be offered and didn't ant
to jeopardize his own freedom
of speech.
Some writers have expressed
the view that Stevenson should
have gone, or that the Presi
dent should have been more in
sistent on his gqjng. We com
mend Stevenson for his attitude.
He has given Mr. Dulles the
benefit of his viewsi but as the
leader of the party out of pow
