The Po&er f Words To th Editor: "Don't underestimate the ftower of words," says a statement by Norman Vincent Peale. "They have more Voltage than elec tricity. ' Then along ' comes John D Murphy's citation of vvTiat happened after a young grocer clerk in Atlanta, Ga., read Emerson's quotation: "Do the thing and you have still the pgjver; but they that not the thing have not the powS-." Appftr n 1 1 y, Emerson's words had the voltage, be cause Clifford Echols, a gro cery clerk, dared to mortgage his furniture for S200, estab lish credit, and then open up his own grocery store in 1940. As soon as he did the thing, self doubt disappeared, and he discovered hidden talents he never had suspected. Ideas came that he as able to turn into cash. He told John Mur phy hiSjAtlanta store alone did $750,000 in 1947, and ex pected to tog a million in 1948 (the year Murphy's article was written). Perhaps Clifford Echols was extra daring and farsight ed. Some of us had to wait until necessity gave us . a shove. In my estimation ne- LEARN While oYou SLEEP! What Do You Want?

We can't get some thing for nothing, because he is wise and very tough. He helps us to help ourselves by utilizing whatever talent we have, even if it means a hum bler position. There are no beds of roses, because wise Mr. Necessity knows human nature always hates those who deprive them of the op portunity to strengthen their own wings. He might be the father of invention, but he is also the backbone of humanity, at least for the ones who are willing to get in there and dig. The satisfaction of using ones own strength, and to know there are no scars on our pride put there by props is really worth the struggle. Taking the bull by the horns is a thrill that each of us should be able to remember because we were the star per former. Emma Lou Carpenter, 811 Sherman st Medford, Ore. On Male Drivers To the Editor: Lots of peo ple say "women drivers" huh! Well maybe women drivers do pull some boners. But that don't say men don't too. I ior one nave seen some "dillies" pulled by men driv ers too, but being a man that is to be overlooked. Just to show how ignorant one man driver was: In driv ing down South Riverside in the middle lane which is for through traffic, crossing Main, then to park on the left side of Riverside, I proceeded as per signs and in pulling up and giving correct signals to park. Some ignorant man pro ceeded across Main in the lane marked "left lane must turn," just as he approached me he blared down on his horn and pulled around the right side of me to pass, says as he pro ceeded, "That's it stupid, if you,, can't drive it, park It." Then on. down Riverside he went as though he owned it all and muttering to the peo ple in his car, probably say ing, "Oh, just another woman driver." Well I just bet that man would be one that couldn't have gotten a chauffeur li cense, either, as when I was taking examination for chauf feur license, also driving test for it, in the Motor Vehicle department. There were three men that day that could not pass the tests and did they look funny when the ex aminer said I had passed 100 per cent. I have had a valid Oregon chauffeur license for 11 years, have never been stopped for even a warning ticket. I also have driven big trucks with semis or trailers up to 60 feet in length over to the coast on the Redwood highway, and from here to Oakland and Klamath Falls. I'd just like to see' that stupid man try it. But really, the poor guy is to be "pittied" for having such "disrespect" for a woman driver, especially when he was the one that was stupid. At least he could have had the decency to have stopped and gave me a chance to defend myself instead of yelling it out in the middle of town and going on leaving gasping onlookers wondering what I had done. M. J., Medford Relieves Distress To the Editor: I would like to relieve Mr. Arnold's dis tress about my letter in the Mail Tribune about "Prophesy and Geneology." Evidently Mr. Arnold doesn't under stand all he knows about the Prophet Elijah as recorded in Mai. 4:5-6 and the reference of Elias in Mark 9:11. They are two entirely different propositions. Gabriel's declaration that the unborn John, Luke 1:13 17, should manifest the spirit and power of Elias which was the Aaronic Priesthood and indicates that Elias is a title of office. Every one sent of God to prepare the way for greater developments in the Gospel plan is an Elias. The appellative "Elias" is, in fact, both a personal name and a title. It was Elijah the Proph et that ascended to Heaven without suffering death. He raised the widow's son from death. He also appeared with Moses on the Mt. of Trans figuration, and he came again and conferred the keys of Sealing and Salvation for the dead upon Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in the Kirt land, Ohio, Temple in 1836. Mr. Arnold, if you wish to understand more about the Prophet Elijah's mission, con sider the following references: John 3:5, 5:25, 1st Peter 3:18 20, 4:6 and 1st Cor. 15:29. This sealing power Elijah had was the higher priesthood and the same as Jesus gave to Peter. See Mat. 16:19, "Whatsover Peter would bind on earth would be found "in Heaven and whatsoever he should loose on earth would be loosed in Heaven." Rev. 20:12 indicates there is a record kept in Heaven. The Mormons have built 13 Temples at a cost of about three million each at which these sacred i ordinances are performed. The members pay one-tenth of their net income in tithes to the Church, and everything connected with the Gospel is free. There are near ly one and one-half million members. In 1957 there were over 32,000 converts baptized in the Church. Don't ydu think, Mr. Arnold, people would know by now if Joseph Smith was a false Prophet or not? In 1846 they were driven from their homes in the dead of winter by people possess ing the same spirit you have jThey trekked with x teams and hand carts 1,300 miles to the' Salt Lake Desert where the Rocky Mountains became their defense, Isa. 26:30, from their enemies and where the wilderness and solitary places were glad for them, and the desert would blossom as the rose, Isa. 35:1. Yes, I am a Mormon, and I have always been glad and satisfied 'to be one, also a U.S. citizen, and incidentally a Swede. John F.

Medford's Bargain Corner Sixth and Central Itemizes Ihe Bill To the Editor: So much about the high cost of hos pitalization has been in the paper lately, I want to tell of a bill I can not pay. "A kind, understanding wom an gave comfort to our father and to us in the last hours of waiting. It was she who said "hold his hands, he'll know you are here and it's such a comfort." The fear and panic he show ed of going alone was gone as soon as we did. The lady in white stood talking with us, not as a stranger paid to do the job, ; but as a trusted friend.' This woman's own heart bears the burden of seeing a loved one down the last long mile of cancer when she goes home each night. Her cheer fulness in doing the very un glamorous things to be done, her kindness and real interest in the comfort of all the elder ly people she comes in contact with can never be paid for by me. Only our Father in Heaven can pay when He touches her uncapped head and says "well done" to this very wonderful nurse's aide. I can only item ize the bill. ? ' (Name on file) " TiHAT is to say: Nearly a MILLION dol slars was spent by two candi dates in their primary cam paigns for the Republican and Democratic . nominations . for the office of governor of Cali- r lurma. It's a lot of money. PUT- What shall we do about it? Shall we say that NOBODY shall be permitted to contri bute money to the campaign expenses of somebody he con ceives to be the best candidate for the job? Shell we lay down the rule that every candidate must pungle up HIS OWN EXPENSE MONEY? A rule like that would pro vide the rich man with a great advantage over the poor man, We wouldn't like that. OH ALL we say that NO BODY shall be allowed to spend ANY .MONEY to get elected to ANY OFFICE? That would give a tremen dous advantage to incumbents and well known persons. It would be a big handicap to able and competent un-, knowns. I don't think we'd like that. THERE is considerable talk to the effect that THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FI NANCE ALL POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS I'm sure we wouldn't like that. Senator Calls for Academy of Policy Pullman, Wash. (UPI) Sen. Henry M. Jackson Fri day called for establishment of an academy of national pol icy to coordinate scientific and political programs with national planning. The academy would be pait of a "revitalizing of learning to insure that the future be longs to the free way of life," he told the Pacific Northwest Conference on Higher Edu cation. Jackson said an academy of national policy would .help solve many problems facing the country because it would "rally all our learned talents, relate our scientific programs to other fields of national pol icy and give new directions to both scientific and political effort." The Washington Democrat said a revitalization of learn ing is essential because "our intellectual life touches all our efforts, quickens them into life, and is capable of giving them force and direction." HERE'S a thought: Let anybody spend as much of his own money as he wishes to get elected to office. Let anybody contribute as much money as he chooses to anybody's campaign ex penses. But Require that every dollar contributed . to a candidate s campaign expenses shall be ac counted for under the true name nf the contributor and that the names of all. con tributors and the amounts they contribute shall be PUB LISHED so that the people may know who is putting up for whom. Then Require that the names of the contributors and the amounts contributed shall be published BEFORE THE ELECTION so that the people may know when they cast their votes-who is-putting up the money for what candidate AND HOW MUCH. I think something like that might help. DISPLAY REMOVED Havana (UPI) Govern- i ment censors Friday ordered the removal from the United Press International bureau's show window of a display of major U.S. newspaper front pages featuring the kidnaping of 50 Americans and Cana dians by the Cuban rebels. The censors told UPI Manager Francis L. McCarthy that the display constituted a "provo cation" and was "contrary to national interests." pector who did help depopulate the world," by killing two children is in a psychiatric ward today. He is also being treated for wounds suffered when he was shot and captured in a Northern New Mexico ,box canyon by a swarm of posse men armed with snipers' rifles and tear gas guns. Norman A. Foose, a para noid recently released from an Idaho mental hospital was gunned down just after dawn Friday as the suspected killer of two youngsters. "I was just doing my bit to help depopulate an over crowded world," he told Dist rict Attorney Paul Robinson when he was brought hand cuffed and under heavy guard into Bernalillo County hos pital. Shot Two Children Foose allegedly shot and killed two Cuba, N. M.; chil dren Thursday for no appar ent reason. He was shot in the right foot and captured by five state patrolmen from a posse of 35 Apache Indians and deputies after he had fled from Cuba following the shootings. After the capture, Foose was taken back to Cuba where an eyewitness to the brutal killings, Wendell Vernon "definitely" identified him as the gunman who shot down Arlene Cebada, 12, and her cousin, Eddie Cebada, 16. The bullet which killed Ar lene richocheted and slightly j wounded her mother. The thrust a 30-06 hunting rifle out of the window and fired two shots. Described as Wildman Patrolman Joe Ortega, one of the five officers in on the capture, described Foose as "a wildman." "I don't think the look was just from pain," Ortega said. "He had a heavy black beard it was matted and dirty and his clothes were baggy like he had slept in them for ages." Shortly after dawn, Ortega and the other officers spotted Foose and ordered him to drop his hunting rifle. "Foose whirled around with the rifle," Ortega said. "But officer Monroe Alexander and Sgt. Milton Madison had 30-30 rifles. They both fired at the same time and one bullet hit the man's foot." "What's going on, what are you shooting for?" Ortega quoted Foose as saying as he writhed in pain. "We asked him how it felt to be shot," Ortega said. The prospector replied: "Just, like the others, I guess." MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, reejm, SuSdly, Jufy 13, IMS I Mexico to Have Dispbqr at hit Mexico City (UPI) Mexico announced Saturday it will participate in the Ore gon Centennial Exposition and International Trade Fair to be held in Portland, start ing June 19, 1959. 1 Dr. Francisco Villagran, di rector general of tourism, made the announcement to Dan E.

Olympia (UPI) Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company was authorized Fri day to increase service charg es and . long distance rates within Washington to bring in an additional $2,856,300 a year. A boost in monthly rental rates for residence and busi ness phones of approximately 850,000 Washington subscrib ers was denied by the State Public Service ; commission. Increases sought by the com pany would have grossed an additional $6,353,700. Thus, the company, which has not had a general rate boost, since 1954, got only a fraction of the $9,210,000 it asked in new revenues to meet rising operating costs and finance a big expansion program. The utility was granted all it requested in long distance and service connection adjust ments. Increases could be come effective in 10 days.
