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-

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.

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.

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."

MONTGOMERY WARD
PT&T Authorized
Increase in Wash.
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.
