10 MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford. Oregon, Monday. October 20, 1958 Candidate Parade (Editor's note: This is en of a series of articles con cerning candidates for state, federal and county office, up for election at the November general election. They were prepared by the candidates themselves, or on their behalf, at the invitation of the Mail Tribune.) V " I - '" i- l MEL X.ATTIE Republican Candidate for State Representative If I were a voter instead of a candidate, the first question I would ask before I cast my ballot is, "What kind of a man is he?" I'm 61 years old, with 40 years ,of experience in busi ness, in farming, in finance, and in iust plain living. I be lieve a man's word is his bond . . . and I . always keep my word. The second question I would ask is, "What experience has he had that would fit him to be a state legislator?" Actually my whole life has been excellent training for this job. I have supervised highway construction in New Hampshire. I have managed mines in California and Ne vada. I spent 20 years in de partment store management and wholesale sales work. For 15 years I have been an active rancher in Jackson county. For the past nine years I have been on the board of the Southern Oregon Sales; and for seven years I have been active on the Board of South ern Oregon Production Credit association. Decisions involv ing property, money and the productive future of the val ley in all phases .of agricul ture have had to' be made promptly and correctly. I am sure that such a background would prove invaluable in the legislature. ' Next I would want to know, 'Whyis he running for the legislature?" The answer is simple. I believe that what happens to my neighbor is im portant to me. I believe that a man owes a debt to the com munity that gives him his liv ing. I believe the expanding population during the last 10 years created problems that necessitate all citizens taking a more active interest in our government. And the cur rent decline in population starting in Oregon should be checked before our whole economy is upset. I want to see the East-West highway built so that new country will be opened and lumber will again be a pri mary commodity. This proj ect would also mean a new lease on mining, greater rec reation facilities, more jobs, a better economy for the entire valley. I want to see a strong build ing program for vocational schools so that skilled crafts men can be developed. I want Jackson county to have its share of recreational areas and State Parks to attract the lucrative tourist industry. I want our resources developed in an orderly fashion. . And about taxes. For the past four years I have follow ed the debates on taxes at ev ery session of the legislature. I am of the firm opinion that legislative action is necessary to encourage new industries, to locate in Oregon and lighten the tax burden; that older peo ple on inadequate incomes should have real property tax relief. And I want to see the legislature enact taxes which are in accord with the consti tutional restriction "to meet the State's expenses" and NOT create "surplus funds." Surplus funds lead only to unwise spending. And if my candidate for state representative was Mel Lattie, I would run, not walk, to the polls and vote for him Nov. 4. Some signs of the times: on a country store near Bates ville, Miss.: "Ice cold ice." In a New York City book store: "Come in and browse but don't touch the sales girls." On a Chicago taxi: "Pass left or pass on." In a Rochester, N.Y., toyshop: "Yes we have hoops darn it!" In a Cincinnati supermarket dur ing a rearrangement of the window display: "We trim our windows-not our customers." On a Volkswagen in Con necticut: "Help us, stamp out Cadillacs." MRS. EVELYN NYE (Republican Candidate for State Representative) Oregon is a state of widely differing climates, industries and interest and all areas should have adequate repre sentation in the state legisla ture if our government is to serve all the people of Ore gon. ' I am asking support of the voters of Jackson county on the basis that I will represent the people of this area and will work for and protect their interests. We in south ern Oregon are at a disadvan tage numerically in the legis lature because of our relative ly small population by com parison with the northern counties, hence we need inde pendent, dedicated and agres sive representation for Jack son county. I intend to give that type of representation. I have no political ambitions and no commitments to any group. I feel that my back ground and knowledge of state problems make me com petent to serve this county effectively. From July, 1943 until Feb ruary, 1958 I served on the Medford School Board, and during part of that time on the legislative committee of the State School Board associa tion. This was a period of rap id growth, which,, together with the inflationary influ ences of the post war period, have greatly increased the fi nancial p r o bl e m s of the schools. I have seen real property taxes in this area in crease on an over-all average of approximately 100 per cent during that time and am fully aware of the excessive bur den which property owners are carrying. I am convinced that top quality education, de signed to develop the highest potential of each, child, is a sacred obligation, but that its cost must be kept within the ability of the taxpayers to support and that these costs must be fairly distributed. I "am aware also that natur al resources of southern Ore gon are our greatest asset and that we must guard them jeal ously and use them wisely. Industrial development in this area is hampered by transportation handicaps and therefore we must work -exceedingly hard for legislation which will encourage the es tablishment of new business and the expansion of those we now have through equitable taxation and transportation rates and good labor-management relations. In my campaign I am talk ing to people representing widely different interests from all sections of the county. I am anxious to know how they feel about their state govern ment, and if elected, I will continue to keep in close touch with the people of Jackson county and will work for their best interests. Stale Troopers Seek Missing Boy Pompton Lakes, N.J.-dTD-A 13-state alarm was out today for a 7-year-old boy who ran away from home Oct. 16 on a girl's bicycle. , He said he was) going to his grandmother's house in Ta coma. Wash. State troopers from New Jersey and Pennsylvania were urged to keep a special alert for Paul Grochowicz who was last seen Friday at a service station about 15 miles from home. The boy's father, Peter, moved his family to Pompton Lakes from Tacoma a few weeks ago when he was trans ferred to this area by the Boe ing Airplane company. The father said his son had been "very depressed" lately. The Grochowicz's have two other children. The Wayside Inn at South Sudbury, Mass., and the White Horse Tavern in Newport, R.I., are the oldest inns still operating in the U.S. Is That So? By OLGA BURNS There is an annual fall mi gration of salt water fish, and though difficult to see, there are unmistakable evidences of it. One sign of it at the beach is 'the appearance of scores of gulls and other sea birds, fly ing low above the sea and just beyond the breakers. At brief intervals they swoop down to the surface and away. The splash they make is usually preceded by others. These latter . are made by predatory fish you will prob ably never see long enough to identify. They are slash ing savagely at little fish which quickly turn into shal lower water to await a better time to strike for the open ocean. As for the birds, they are feeding on the pieces. That is easier than trying for a whole fish. Unlikely as you are to get a good look at the predators, you have an excellent chance of seeing the" hunted. Very likely, if you look closely at each wave as it curls over to fall on the beach,' you will see some of the little fellows. They know thev are safe if they stay well in shore. Neither the big ones can get them nor the birds. If they can keep from being thrown up on the sand, they can con tinue their migration without danger. Commonly Seen On the East Coast the most commonly seen migrants are menhadden or mullet. On the West Coast I know of one case in which one of the flee ing fish got beached and it turned out to be a small shad. Reason for the migration is to escape both, the colder water and the lessening food supply. In the estuaries and tideflats there is a Withering of vegetation. Many of the tiny animal forms -on which the small fish feed, such as the fiddler crab, go into hi bernation. Knowledge is scant as to where the migrants go, but probably it is no farther than the deeps lying along the edge of the continental shelf anywhere from a few miles to a hundred or more off shore. The young shad puts out to Phe returns two or three years later it is to the river of his birth. What more logical than that he should have spent the intervening time in the nearest satisfactory off shore area? Adult shad have been cap tured at sea along the edge of the continental shelf. Since they are known to return to their natal rivers, it is not un reasonable to assume that when they return again to the sea, they probably go to that area which former experience showed most suitable. .

Reuther Bothered By Nixon's Acts Chicago -flJPD United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther said Sunday he was leery of Vice President Rich ard M.

Averell Harriman of New York, would be acceptable to labor as presi dential candidates.' "If Earl Warren were a Re publican candidate for presi dent I think he would deserve every considerable considera tion from the labor movement and would get it," Reuther said.
