GP Chamber to Endorse Festival Grants Pass-The board of directors of the Grants Pass and Josephine County Cham ber of Commerce last week endorsed the campaign to raise funds for construction of a new Elizabethean theater for the Oregon Shakespearean Festival at Ashland. Festival officials pointed out that the annual event has brought more than 800,000 visitors from every state and many foreign countries to southern Oregon. Charles M. Packer, presi dent of the chamber, said the Festival has been offered loca tions in Santa Barbara, Berke ley, and San Jose, Calif., and Portland. "Chamber of Commerce members and all citizens in the area are urged to support the building campaign," Pack er said. About five per cent of school age Jsoys show evidences of color deficiency or color blindness. Only about one pet cent of the girls have the same trouble.

JOHNSON suggests in his new book, Peril and Promise, that "you might be interested to discover who was the most successful of all our Presidents, measured by the abili. ty to do everything he promised. It was James K. Polk! Polk promised that if he were elected, he would-acquire California, settle the Oregon dispute, lower the tariff, establish a subtreas ury, and retire at the end of his first term. He was elect ed in 1845 and accomp lished every one of his five major aims! No one has ever approached that record. Joe E.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS ' What of this Berlin busi ness? Is it SERIOUS? Could it lead to WAR? TT COULD be serious. Here's why: West Berlin meaning by that the sector of the city of Berlin that is under Allied control is a tiny island of Western freedom and West ern free enterprise lying deep l within communist territory. As compared with commu- nist East Germany, which sur rounds West Berlin on a 1 1 sides, West Berlin enjoys a high degree of personal free dom and a large measure of material prosperity. Human nature being hu man nature, the communist ruled East Germans can't help looking at West Berlin with longing eyes. T ETS glance back for a " moment back into history FAR back. The Germans are Celtic in their origins. Deeply rooted in Celtic tra dition is the myth of Avalon, the Island of Blessed Souls. In Celtic mythology Avalon was an earthly paradise set in the Western seas. In the Arthur ian legends Avalon was the abode of Arthur, who was car ried there by Morgan le Fay lHlolji5 ' nesTprices k 1 I to dwell in happiness forever as a reward for his goodness and his greatness. Ogier the Dane, another great figure in Celtic legend, also held his court in Avalon. To yearning Germans, West Berlin has become the mod ern Avalon. THAT isn't good for com munism. It is so BAD for communism that the Kremlin might be willing , to risk almost any thing to get rid of this approx imation of an early paradise that has grown up in West Berlin under enlightened Western administration. 54 in.

We defended it successfully when the Russians undertook their blockade a number of years ago. The West Berlin ers have come completely over to our side. West Berlin is one place in' the world where there are no cries of AMERICANS GO HOME! The great fear of the peo ple of West Berlin is that the Allied forces will pull out and leave them at the mercy of the communists. That im poses upon us the obligation to stand pat. If we should pull out in the face of communist threats, the ensuing loss of face would be terrific. We might as well shut up shop in Europe and call it quits. That is why . the West Ber lin situation is so ticklish, to say the least.- Drivers licenses Suspended Listed Salem The department of motor vehicles has released names of 428 drivers whose licenses were ordered sus pended during the period be ginning Nov. 10 and ending Nov. 14. Length of suspension varies, depending on charges involv ed, recommendation of court, discretionary action by the department or requirements of Oregon law. The depart ment said some of the lic enses involving financial re sponsibility and court recom mendations may have been reinstated after suspension was ordered. The department warned drivers that the penalty for driving while suspended is a jail sentence of no less than two days end up to six months, and there may be im posed a fine up to $500. Un der licensing procedures, this will also result in an addition al years of suspension.

The Family Council Editor's note: The Family Council consists ot a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers Each article is a summary of an actual report Tbe Family Council does not give advice: it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors MRS. L. D. -She goes out with awful girls. MARILYN D. I have a right to choose my own friends. MRS. L. D. - My husband and I are very worried about our 16-year-old daughter, Marilyn, who has become bosom pals with two awful girls at school. These girls walk around the streets with cigarettes dangling from their mouths. They are rough, loud and vul gar. Marilyn has always been so timid and quiet nobody can understand her suddenly go ing around with such girls. She has been brought up to be a lady and she knows how to behave like one. But when she is with these girls she acts the way they do. Everyone says these girls are very fast with boys. Mar ilyn has hardly ever been out on a date and I hate to think that she will be getting her first dating experiences with such girls. We've forbidden her to go with them but it does no good. MARILYN D. -1 am 16 and that is certainly old enough to choose my own friends. My parents think that they can boss me all my life. My mother always told me when I was a child to play or not to play with certain chil dren. As a result I never had any fun. The kids I was sup posed to play with never lik ed me. I was always the spare tire. Whenever they planned outings and things I was left out. They would just forget about me. My new friends are not bad and do nothing wrong. It is true they smoke, but most o the kids in our school have been doing that since 13 or 14 anyway only most of them do it on the sly. My parents have very prudish and old fashioned ideas about what a "lady" is supposed to act like. THE COUNCIL - We are behind Marilyn in fighting for her right to choose her own friends. The child or adoles cent who has not had this ex perience cannot develop a ma ture personality. Parents cannot possibly shield their children from all the outside influences they may consider bad. The best they can do is instill good standards at home. If the children are reasonably hap py at home and in school they will, on the whole, abide both those standards. Some may make brief experimental ex cursions " into tabooed terri tory, but they will usually quickly find their way back. Parents who are horrified or astounded at their chil dren's selections do not al ways know what a particular friend means to the child. He may be letting off a little re bellious steam through vicar ious enjoyment of the friend's "different" mode of behavior or he may have found things others don't suspect in the "undesirable" child. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon. Sunday, November 23. 1938 S We are not suggesting that the L-LVs bow out of the pic ture . completely Certainly they should know their daugh ter's friends and certainly they should gently steer her in the direction they consider desirable. They should also try to discover what Marilyn sees in her new friends. From both accounts, it would ap pear, that she is fighting for more independence from her parents and trying to find a little more personal expres sion for herself. If the L-D.'s were a little less rigid in this matter, it is very likely that Marilyn would seek and find pleasure with friends of her own sort.
