The First Successes
The "Make Medford Beautiful" campaign is
gradually beginning to resolve . itself into the
"Making Medford Beautiful" project.
One evidence of this was on the Mail Tribune's
first page yesterday. Heretofore, the series of pic
tures being printed has been exclusively devoted
to what needs to be done. Yesterday, for the first
time, we were able to portray an example of "what
is BEING done.
As the results justify, the pictures will record
them.
T IS the hope of the committee, and others in
4 terested in making this an attractive town,
that more and more frequently it will be possible
to "accentuate the positive" and to "eliminate the
negative" in recording both the need and the
achievement.
. The committee is also making plans to be of
assistance in "hardship" cases, where property
owners have neither the means nor the ability to
voluntarily beautify their properties.
The interest aroused by this campaign r the
number of people volunteering their services,
those calling fo point out "eysores," and' those
who are just quietly going ahead and making de
sirable changes on their own is considerable.
WHEN Mayor John Snider first announced the
campaign, it was greeted by mixed reaction.
Many people were enthusiastic, but there also
were some doubtful people who thought it would
n't succeed.
Well, it is beginning to succeed, and we pre
dict that, in this case as in so many others, success
will breed success, and that the campaign will
carry along, month after month and year after
year, to make Medford the beautiful town that it
can be and should be. E.A.

"English" which is spoken in America today.
Probably an Elizabethan Englishman and a mod?
em American could do well enough to communi
cate, after a fashion, but each would puzzle the
other.
In Shakespeare's day, some words had mean-

that is, toTthe extent that they would have meant
nothing to Shakespeare.
ALMOST any word which derived from mod-torl-irVlrmr
( anfnm nWlpr. telephone, neon.
oWtvifitv
would have been meaningless gobbledegook to'an
Elizabethan. "
Pronunciation also has changed, although it
is less easy to trace that difference, for there was
no art of voice recording in those days. (Phono
graph is a new word, too.)
It is the differences in word usage, coupled
with pronunciation, building up over a period of
time, which eventually result in new languages.
' -- .-. .
LL western languages
Even Latin, the "mother" tongue of so many
latter - day western languages, is a derivative
tongue, as is Sanskrit, the classic ancient language
of the Indian subcontinent.
In recent years, philological scholars have
traced almost all western and middle - eastern
languages back to one tongue, which they call the
"Indo-European Language."
' How they did so is an adventure in philologi
cal detective work comparing words and their
use and pronunciation and relationships in differ
ing languages.
One such process, for instance, was found in
the word "laks," which they established as Indo
European for "salmon."
An article in the Scientific Arrierican describes
the process somewhat as follows:
"The word laks still survives where the fish occurs;
in Russia, the Baltic countries, Scandinavia, Germany,
and is the familiar 'lox' of Jewish delicatessens. During
the western migration it was replaced. Tq the south
where there are no salmon it also disappeared. But in
many regions, laks took on an altered meaning and
survived. In Turkestan it is used for fish in general.
In Sanskrit 'laksha' came to mean 'many,' a derivation
from the salmon-shoal in the sense of a great many.'
Lac also has the meaning of a 'red substance' in some
regions, obviously stemming from the color of salmon,
and is the word from which came the English 'lac'
and lacquer."
DY SUCH a process, the language detectives
JJ determined that the Indo - European tongue
originated in a small are.a on the Baltic sea in
what is now northeastern Germany, abqut 6,000
years ago.

Election's Meaning Written In Influence
On 'Ambitious Young Men's' Political Fate
By LYLE C. WILSON
UPI Correspondent
Washington-(UPD-What hap
pened in Tuesday's election
can be told today in what it
all meant to
several bright
ly ambitious
young men.
They are:
Vice Presi
dent Richard
M. Nixon who
suffered a po
litical reverse
of the first
Lyle C. Wilson m a g n 1 1 uae.
For Nixon, the election was
a Democratic flash flood
which wrecked his Republi
can home base of political
operations in California. Party
damage was duplicated gener
ally around the country.. Nix
on's plus mark is that he is by
instinct a take-charge guy. He
was able therefore to emerge
from the wreckage of the Re
publican party today as politi
cal head man of the Eisen
hower administration.
Nelson A. Rockefeller, Re
publican governor - elect of
New York, was al plus and no
minus on the election returns.
Rockefeller smacked down
Democratic Gov. Averell Har
riman's reelection bid. He
smacked it so far down that
Harriman already is disap
pearing into the political
shadows although he was only
48 hours ago a possible Demo
cratic choice for president in
1960. Rockefeller did more.
He won big enough to carry
to victory with him New
York's Republican candidate
for the U.S. Senate, Kenneth
B. Keating. By these feats,
Rockefeller became a major
contender for the 1960 Repub
lican presidential nomination
-the only man who seems
now to have any chance what
soever to beat Nixon for that
nomination.
Knowland All Through
- Sen. William F. Knowland
who abandoned the Senate
Republican leadership to run
for governor in California
was a Republican presidential
prospect when this week be
gan. No more. Knowland
shook . up California politics
by forcing himself into the
gubernatorial contest arid
compelling Republican Gov.
Goodwin J. Knight to step
aside and to run for the Sen
ate. They both lost and Cali
fornia, the second most popu
lous state, fell to the Demo
crats for the first time in 16
years. It will be a long time
before Republicans take that
state again, perhaps, but long
er before Knowland has an
other even outside chance to
aspire to the White House.

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERT
IN A NEW SURVEY of advertising business called "Madison
Avenue, U. S. A.," Martin Mayer insists the advertising fra
ternity is much maligned. Far from talking like high school
sophomores, says Mayer
(example: "Run that one up
the flagpole, Manny, and
let's see if someone sa
lutes"), the actual ad ex
ecutive is blunt, direct and
businesslike. When a pros
pective client once asked an
agency president what he'd
do if a carefully detailed
campaign was rejected, the
president replied smoothly,
"We'll present our second
best idea."
.
Stung by the general as
sumption that every poor soul in the advertisirig business has an
ulcer, a Tide magazine panel recently queried 1,400 top ad execu
tives on the state of their health. Only four per cent admitted they
suffered from ulcers. Eighty-eight per cent declared they were in
perfect shape, ready to wangle an account away from a rival at the
drop of a thermometer.

maintain bis favorable posi
tion, Kennedy needed a
smashing victory over a lost
cause Republican -opponent,
Vincent J. Celeste. Kennedy
got it. He clobbered Celeste
by 3 to 1 or thereabouts, an
achievement which will be
favorably noted by the grass
roots Democratic politicos
who are quick to love a win
ner, ii
New Jersey's Democratic
Gov. Robert B. Meyner, also
young, substantially held his
own in the game of presiden
tial politics by getting his
man elected to the U.S. Sen
ate. His man was Harrison A.
Williams Jr., who defeated
Republican Robert W. Kean.
The Republicans had expect
ed to win that one, despite
the general Democratic trend.
Leader Loses Out
Still another young man,
Democratic George M. Lead
er, of Pennsylvania, plodded
with New York's Harriman
into the political shadows.
Leader lost a U.S. Senate con
test to Republican Hugh
Scott. Like Harriman, Leader
had , been counted until the
returns came in as among the
Democratic presidential pos
sibilities. Missouri kept Democratic
Sen. Stuart Symington among
the party's live aspirants to
the White House. Symington's
reelection, however, lacked
the spectacular thump of a
runaway majority such as
Kennedy won in Iyjassachur
setts.
Wins Sixth Term
Gov. G. Mennen (Soapy)
Williams was the Democratic
young man of the hour in big,
industrial Michigan, Williams,
in political cahoots with big
labor's Walter Reuther, won
an unexampled sixth term.
Williams, almost automatical
ly, became the man left wing
Democrats of the North, East
and West would most wel
come as head of the 1960 par
ty ticket-and, by the same
measure, Williams is. the man
whose nomination Democrats
of the South would most pro:
test.
Not so young but mighty
big in politics today is Ed
mund G. (Pat) Brown, the
Democrat who ran Knowland
out of politics in California.
Brown may riot figure greatly
as a presidential possibility,
himself, but as Caliifornia's
new Mr. Big he will have a
big part in choosing the next
Democratic nominee.
In the day - after - election
dawn, big labor stood amid
the coast-to-coast Republican
wreckage flexing muscle like
a Paul Bunyan in a forest of
stumps. The tide of right-to-work
laws and state constitu
tiorial amendments appeared
to have been turned. The
right-to-work proposition car
ried in agricultural Kansas,
lost in Washington, Ohio and

Joyful Democrats Have Small
Worries Over Congress Control

Washington-(UP Top Demo
crats today should have been,
and for the record were, delirious-
with joy.
Their party had won con
trol of House -and Senate by
whopping majorities.
Privately, that's exactly
what had some' congressional
leaders worried.
In the House it appeared
Speaker Sam Rayburn would
have votes to spare, by the
dozen. Senate Leader Lyndon
B. Johnson also was to be
amply supplied with Demo
crats. List Three Reasons
From the standpoint of
some Democratic strategists,
this won't be an altogether
happy situation, because:
On past performance, an
over whelming Democratic
preponderance in either cham

Road Neglected
To the Editor: To tax pay
ers, this is food for thought.
We here in Griffin Creek
school district pay among the
highest taxes in the county.
We have the most dangerous
road conditions in Jackson
county and it starts at the
mouth on South Stage road
and continues throughout the
length of Dark Hollow.
On ' two places where the
creek crosses the road, cul
verts are so small that we
still have to waller through as
did the Indians 100 years ago.
The county has surveyed this
road at different times but
did nothing. There have been
two deaths and many accir
dents. We need a two - way
road. We the taxpayers have
paid for the road a long time
ago but we "are still forced
to waller through as did the
Indians and subject the school
children to death and injury
due to neglect on the part of
public officals. This road
starts three miles from the
courthouse and I am sure it is
the most dangerous in the
county.

Don't Let It Happen Again!
To the Editor: On Oct. 31, a
school bus overturned and in:
jured several children. This
could happen again and it will
happen again unless we do
something about it.
Let's put the blame where
it belongs'. It is said that a
car crowded the bus off the
road. The driver of this car
was at fault for reckless driv
ing and for not stopping at the
scene of an accident. But was
it his fault or the bus driver's
fault that the road was not
wide enough for the two ve
hicles to pass safely?
We can't stop these reckless
drivers, but we can try and
prevent them from doing
things like this, by improving
our road conditions. Had the
road been a few feet wider
this would not have hap
pened. We have people to take
care of these roads. I wonder
if they have ever seen a school
bus on its side in a field, filled
with children screaming with
fright and pain.
I have, and it isn't a very
pretty sight. Let's improve our'
roads before this happens
again.
' Mrs. D.. S. Kendall,
Dark Hollow rd.,

On the other side of the
aisle, the effect will be just
the opposite. Republicans,
like Democrats, tend to close
ranks when heavily out
numbered. With Democrats in un
questioned charge of Congress
during the next two years,
voters may be persuaded in
1960 to blame Democrats
rather than Republicans for
anything that goes wrong, de
SDite GOP control of the
White House. Democratic
leaders recall only too well
what Harry Trupian did with
a similar situation in reverse,
in 1948.
Could Complicate Matters
Johnson's strength as Demo
cratic leader of the Senate is
as a backstage operator. His
performance with a shoestring
Democratic majority in the
85th Congress was generally
conceded to have been superb-

politicians will shrink from
making that challenge again.

Danger Spot
To the Editor: Your head
lines in faundays paper
prompted me to write you.
About two years ago I had
the same experience as the 35
children and on the same
road. I had never realized
that the western section of
Dark Hollow and Pioneer
rds., were impassable in such
dangerous places, but I found
out the hard 'way. Had it not
been for a large tree Shat
stopped me after rolling, I'd
have gone six or more times.
I was' the eighth at this one
particular spot.
The first thing I did was
measure the road. It was 12
feet four inches with loose
shoulders. The car I met
measured over six feet wide
and so was mine. I then called
on Commissioners Keating
and Wendt, also Engineer
Rynning. They told me they
had just been over the road
and it was iq very good con
dition. The following morning
Mr. Wendt and Mr. Rynning
went out with me to where I
had my $500 repair "jolt." I
parked my car on the ex
treme right and asked them to
pass. They said ii was im
possible and would do some
thing about it.
Months had passed and
nothing was done to the road.
Then one morning I met what
I had always dreaded, at this
very blind spot I met the
school bus and he wasn't I
doing a mere 15 m.p.h., but
between 30 and 35. I stopped
against the upper embankr
ment. By the grace of God the
bus stayed on at this extreme
dangerous spot. I later saw
where there was only one
track of the rear duals, the

eluding several with a liberal
bent, could complicate John
son's well-k n o w n wheeling
and dealing.
Assuming, as senators do,
that Johnson hopes to remain
front and center among Demo
cratic presidential hopefuls
for I960, this infusion of new
Democratic blood also might
be expected to push Johnson
somewhat toward the left in
his management of the Senate.
Democratic National Chair
man Paul Butler already is in
with a prediction that the
86th Congress will be "more
progressive and liberal." But
ler foresaw, among other
things, a curb on Senate fili
busters. More Liberal Members
Speaker Rayburn isn't run
ning' for president. He isn't
likely to be pushed much one
way or the other. However,
there was a band of several
score liberal Democrats in the
House in the 85th Congress
who constantly were pressing
for a more liberal party posi
tion. Their number will be
bolstered in the 86th Congress. !
To the extent that the lib
eral newcomers replace con
servative Republicans, the off
setting influence of the con
servative Southern bloc will
be diminished.
The Southern hold pn com
mittee chairmanships and oth
er congressional posts of pow
er won't be loosened, how
ever, and in many situations
the ' old coalition of Southern
Democrats and conservative
northern Republicans still can
be expected to prevail.

Listen:
In Moscow Vladimir Sefn
ichastney, head of the com
munist youth organization
Komsomol (the purpose of
Komsomol is to make good
communists of Russia's youth);
speaking in the presence of
Khrushchev and other Soviet
leaders, denounces Pasternak
s "a MANGY SHEEP" and
WORSE THAN A PIG."
What kind of "culture" is
that?
BERTRAND Russell, him
self a Nobel prize winner,
says this morning he ip DIS
GUSTED with the Soviet au
thorities who forced Paster
nak to reject the honor.
Bertrand Russell is one of
the world's most distinguished
socialists.
He doesn't disagree when
he hears himself called a rad
ical. But he gags at this latest
revelation of the brutal boor
ishness of the leadership of
the Union of Soviet SOCIAL
IST Republics.
FOR years I have believed
that the institution of com
munism is so foul that in time
it must fall of the weight of
its own foulness.
I now believe it more firm
ly than ever.
Both Robert Burns and
Rudyard Kipling had to pay
for the printing of their early
poems. '
