Cultural Center Through American history, almost from the very beginning, the school and the library were the focus of small-town cultural life. This is no longer universally true, because of ever-expanding sources of information and enter tainment motion pictures, magazines, news papers, television, and so on. But school and library still function as irre placable centers of our intellectual lives. The public library, in particular, is the reposi tory of the accumulated wisdom of the ages, all readily available on request. - DUT in addition it serves other needs for practical information, for entertainment, for factual data. There's scarcely a question one can think of that can't be answered by some volume or other in the labrary. The slogan for National Library Week (April 12 to 18) is "Wake Up and Read," which is neith er better nor worse than most such slogans. But it does make the point that too many Americans fail to take advantage of the stored and available re source's of the library. E.A. Visit Your Library The Medford Public Library (which, by con tract, is also the Jackson County Public Library) is observing National Library Week. , An open house will be held at the library building between 3 and 6 p.m. on Friday, at which time all patrons (and, more particularly,, might-be patrons) are invited to visit the library, inspect its facilities, and see just what it is that is offered to the literate public of this' area. As a matter of fact, the library holds "open house" every day it is open, year-around, welcom ing anyone to come in and sample its wares. But the Friday hours will be graced by hostesses, guides and explanations of the library and its functions. . OPERATING a good public library is not the - V-dCUQU Llllllg 111 111 G VV KJL 1VI J UU. The staff is pinched -between the limits of available funds, on one hand, and requests for in creased service, on the other. For instance, there is substantial demand for such things as record loan collections, books in Braille, story hours, meeting rooms,' reading nooks, bookmobile service, home deliveries, mail service, reference service, and personal assistance in finding a particular book, or a book on a par ticular subject. Some of these the Medford library is equipped to furnish ; others it is not. t 117'HAT the labrary board has endeavored over " the years to do is to furnish the maximum possible service within the available funds. With the support of times-grudging support of the county, budgets have slowly increased, making possible additional books and additional services. m It has been slow going, sometimes. But it has paid off in increased patron - acceptance of the library and what it is trying to do and this de spite criticisms based on a wide range of factors, real or fancied. ' , As a public agency, and one which is intimate ly close to those it serves, the library is -under constant close scrutiny, and any deviation from practices which are universally accepted brings instant criticism. SOMETIMES, indeed, cedure are attacked because they do not happen to coincide with what a patron believes .should be done. And there is always understandings si attempts to improve adminis trative procedures. The Medford library, in its capacity as the Jackson county library, has had its share of these, in large part because patrons in some of the surrounding communities it serves through its branches are unfamiliar with the limi tations under which it operates. Some of these can be and have been settled by a mutual discussion, conducted with honesty and good will, of the problems involved. Others have resulted in an unfortunate rupture of relations, as was the case in Rogue River last year. . DESPITE such occasional misunderstandings n-nA mn'fi'mVn. ' M. Jf ... J T 1 emu. tnuusm, me lueinuiu J-iiurary nas con tinued a steady progress. Its patronage has in creased rapidly. Its book collection is larger and more diversified now than at any time in the past. For the first time, it has three professionally trained people on the staff, as well as the other staff members, who because of long service, on-the-spot training, and loyalty, offer friendly, effi cient and helpful service to patrons. The growth and development has paid off both in acceptance of the library, and its use. , For those who are unfamiliar with it, and who would like to know niore about its services, we'd suggest a visit at any time. They are particu larly invited, however, between 3 and 6 p.m. Friday. E.A. the citv. and the some the very practices which the possibility of mis- Dennis the lVwrs Dennis dokb today? I rfare in Alqeria solved By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Editor It was just short of a year ago that the dissident French forces in Algeria rebelled planet, a weak and vacillat ing govern ment in Paris and star ted the revolt that brought Gen (Charles de Gaulle to s power. Their aim Total integra tion of Algeria run ftewsom with France and an end by whatever means to the war by which Algerian Moslems sought to sever their connections with France and set upa free and independent Algeria. On June 1, De Gaulle took office as premier with three special powers. They were:1 To govern France by de cree for six months. To revise the constitution. To deal with the situation in Algeria. Fails in Algeria Whatever else his successes may have been, his record in Algeria to date has been noth ing but failure. He has not been able to halt the Algerian war which costs France nearly three mil lion dollars per day, nor has he been able to satisfy the ex treme right French in Alge ria who started the revolt a year ago. The situation in Algeria re mains distressingly similar to that which existed before the final French defeat in Indo china some five years ago. French occupation of Alge ria began more than 100 years ago. Since World War II the French have given lip service to increased Algerian independence but have shown few real evidences of doing anything about it. Terrorism Unending The rub results from the fact that in Algeria there are about eight million Moslems against one million French The French in Algeria, many of whose families have been there for generations and re gard it as their permanent home, fear that all the gains of years would be wiped out in the event of Algerian inde pendence. Their complaint now against De Gaulle is the same as it was against the Fourth Re-public-that his policy is "soft" and "equivocal" towards the Nationalist rebels and appears to be drifting toward some sort of political settlement with them. Terrorism is unending in Algeria under the present cir cumstances, but now three new dates for possible dem onstrations and even more than the usual amount of bloodshed have beeli pre dicted. They , are April 19 to 26, when the Algerian municipal elections will be held, the April 28 opening of Parlia ment in Paris at which 66 Al gerian deputies intend to go all out for integration, and May .13, the anniversary of last year's revolution. Settlers Barricade Homes In Constantine, Algeria, to day wire netting cuts off the little side streets from the main thoroughfares to protect passersby against bomb throw ers. An electric wire divides Al geria from neighboring sym pathetic Tunisia, to prevent infiltration of rebel forces and the shipment of supplies to the rebels. , On remote French farms, settlers barricade themselves at night. These are conditions of life in Algeria today conditions which De Gaulle by his own pronouncement is bound to change. In Algeria, a French army of 450,000 men -more than half of all France's armed v7 1 Menace mm sot thj? fvns,twd e Problem for France forces-fights a shadow rebel army of less than 50,000 men -a guerrilla army which strikes and then fades away into the mountains or among the civilian population. Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initia' for publication is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the ridht tc edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. J-etters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case Family's Role To the Editor: Those forces in opposition to the American system of government long ago changed their strategy from that of outright revolu tion, because the American people would not listen to them. Instead they described their idea of government as the "American Way." This being so, one would be fool ish to believe the written or spoken word because it has been labeled "American." Concerning your condensed column on April 13, 1959. Either the heart has been re moved or. the document pos sessed no real substance in its entirety. The name of God has been conspicuously left out of your condensation, and the family has.been relegated to a secon dary place. Remove God from your mind and the state will take His place. It is the prevalent false hood of modern philosophy long taught in the schools that the individual and family exist for the state, and receive from the state all their rights. Yet the individual, the family is anterior both in idea and fact to the state, and must nec essarily have rights and du ties which are prior to those of the state. Truly the family is the ba sic institution of our society. The family is a society unto itself. This role must not be changed. Robert J. Howard, 828B West 14th st., Medford. Supports Humane Bill To the Editor: Reference is made to House Bill No. 629, the humane slaughter bill in the Oregon legislature. It is very necessary that this bill be passed to stop the back alley slaughtering in the state of Oregon. If those interested in the public health and welfare as well as the humanitarians would write to members of Public Health and Welfare Committee asking that . this bill be gotten out of Commit tee and on the Floor for a vote, we would be most ap preciative. Members of the Commit tee above mentioned are: Rep resentatives Peck, Atiyeh, Heider, Van Hoomissen and Wilderman and Senators Chapman and Grenfell.

Minimum Protection To the Editor: May I con gratulate you on your two ed itorials in Sunday's Mail Trib une, with reference to com pulsory automobile insurance and the uninsured motorists coverage. I believe however, you could see the situation from a little different viewpoint if you would put to yourself three questions: ( 1. What percentage of the vehicles on the highways of Oregon are from out of State? 2. Would you propose to stop every out of. State vehi cle at the border and require them to furnish evidence on insurance before entering the State? 3. Does not the "uninsured motorists" bill recently passed provide at least a minimum of protection against such per sons? It has always been felt that where the individual fails, the Government must step in to compel " the individual to provide the means of taking care of himself. I am thinking of State Workmen's Compen sation, Social Security, and such legislation. Perhaps the above may change your attitude slightly as to the advisability of com pulsory automobile insurance, or your objections to the un insured motorists coverage. Cole Holmes, manager, The R. A. Holmes Agency, Medford. Return U.S. Citizens To the Editor: In trying to keep up with the crowded agenda of our legislators at Salem, I came to the conclu sion "that their compensation is pitifully inadequate, that it should be at least doubled. And the task of trying to de cide which of the many im portant' bills required my personal concern and action with limited time and oppor tunity for study, makes it ex tremely difficult for the av erage citizen to lend his sup port pro or con on many of these matters. But one that I recently heard about, was a memorial to be addressed to our Presi dent, House and Senate Joint Memorial 5, calling for nego tiations with the Communist government of Red China for a trade treaty. Congressman Charles O. Porter has come out in favor of such a treaty, upon what grounds I am not quite sure, but under the cir-1 cumstances I cannot agree' For purposes of orientation, Fairview Home has a waiting list of approximately 530. Pro jection of figures, indicate that there will be 160 new ap plicants yearly to that facil ity. The Oregon State Hospi tal which was 59 per - cent overcrowded two years ago, is now 32 per cent overcrowded and the Eastern Oregon Hos pital exceeds the standards set by the American Psychiatric Association by 29 per cent. The members of the sub committee of ways and means have", during the past three months, visited these institu tions, as well as the Eastern Oregon Tuberculosis Hospital at The Dalles. We have made a careful study and evaluation of the needs of the state and the potentialities of the insti tutions involved and have ar rived at the conclusion that these patients should be re deployed in the following manner: 1. FAIRVIEW HOME. This institution will soon have available 400 additional new modern beds. We further pro pose to transfer approximate ly 75 of these patients to the Mid-Columbia Home and an additional 50 to the Cottage Farms Annex at Fairview. We have recently approved the construction of two pavilions to house 215 additional pa tients at Fairview. With the 530 on the waiting list and the 20 anticipated in the next bi ennium, these measures would adequately care for the now serious problem existing with respect to our institutionalized mentally deficient. 2. COTTAGE FARM is an institution in the Salem area already constructed, which will house approximately 330 mentally deficient and will be an annex to Fairview and under that institution's admin istrative control. The patients there would be 40 mentally deficient now in the Eastern Oregon State Hospital, 280 mentally deficient now housed at the Oregon State Hospital, and any remaining beds would be transferees from the Fairview Home it self. 3. T h e MI D-COLUMBIA HOME for the chronically ill will receive patients over the age of 50 who are institution alized in our several mental institutions. The home is de signed to take care of the pe diatric patient, be he mentally ill or mentally retarded, who will not benefit from intensive treatment and who will not be a problem with respect to custodial or security care. It will be a home of rest for our aging who do need attention with him this time. i base my reasoning on these grounds, that if I were a credit manager, examining Red China's standing and po tentiality of carrying out its obligations under any trade agreement, I would have to observe that to date it has not yet lived up to a pledge made on Sept. 10, 1954 to release five Americans innocent of the alleged crime of espionage All efforts made by the De partment of State have proven fruitless, and no further offi cial word has been received concerning their fate except off the record" assertions made in unofficial circles, that they are being held for ransom .and would be released when a trade treaty has been negotiated. These five Ameri cans are Richard Fecteau and Charles Downey, both civili an army employes; Robert McCann and Hugh Redmond, both business men; and Bishop James Walsh, a Catholic mis sionary. The first two were captured in 1952, the business men arrested in 1951, and the missionary in 1958. A prime requisite of any signer to a trade agreement is the reliability of the signatories, how they carry out their pledges. From the evidence, Red China has no conscience as to how they would use any tactics to gain their ends. Let them return our citizens, then negotiate aboveboard for a trade treaty. It is highly dishonorable for us to imply a trade treaty might be obtainable being pressured by commercial in terests here, while our State Department is trying to effect the release of our citizens on purely moral grounds. That is not fair to the Slate Depart ment or to the victims of in justice, and would place this country in a morally indefen sible position. The next move is up to the Red Chinese Government to establish itself in a better light before the nations of the world. R. V. MacDowell 1027 West Broadway Eugene, Ore.

Turning to the men tally ill, our first considera tion is the Oregon State Hos pital which is 32 per cent overcrowded. Two hundred eighty of these patients would be transferred to the Cottage Farm, approximately 100 to the Mid-Columbia Home, and an unknown number to the new Dammasch hospital upon the completion of that insti tution. 5. EASTERN OREGON HOSPITAL is 29 per cent overcrowded and approxi mately 40 patients would be eligible to transfer to the Mid Columbia Home. 6. DAMMASCH HOSPITAL. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS I Chit chat from London: Garage attendant Alfred Holmes has quite a vocabu lary. When four bandits held him up early today, he swore at them so effectively they ran off confused and empty handed. H MMMMMM. Swearing is a bad habit. Nobody doubts that. It is frowned upon in all the best circles-as it should be. Yet- Here's a man who obviously swears like the proverbial trooper. The evidence in dicates that he swears even like a mule skinner. And- Bandits, hearing him, abandon their banditry and take to their heels, confused and empty-handed. Thus the commisison of a crime is pre vented and a measure of good. comes out of evil. It's a strange world, full of strange hapenings. jyjO.RE news from the tight The Town Council of Mar gate became so convinced that the town hall staff was in efficient that it called in an efficiency expert to change things. . The expert made two suggestions: 1. Give some of the staff a raise. ' 2. Fire 14 of the 30 coun cilors. I HAVE an-idea that if we followed that suggestion here in our own great coun try, starting at the top and going cleas down to the bot tom, the taxpayer might get quite a little relief and gov vernment might be just as efficient as it is now - per haps even MORE efficient. One trouble with govern ment is that it tends to pro liferate. W HAT'S proliferation? It's a biological term - meaning, in dictionary langu age, "to grow by the rapid pro duction of new parts, or new cells or buds. Developing a leafy shoot from normally TERMINAL organ, as a flower or fruit In the case of corals, producing a cluster of branch lets from a branch." HOW does government pro liferate? It's a simple process. A new government depart ment is started. It requires a head - say a bureau chief. In a little while, the bureau chief requires - an assistant bureau chief. Then, in time, the as sistant bureau chief requires an assistant. After that, the assistant assistant requires an assistant. All the assistant bureau chiefs require secre taries. In time, the secretaries require stenographers. Eventu ally assistant stenographers are required. After that comes the need for assistants to the assistant stenographers. And so on-ad infinitum." That's government prolife ration. SERVING ALL WHO CALL f, ... .- r j , . , C. M. Litwiller Recognized as a leader in the funeral profes sion, Litwiller's has served Jackson Co. since 1935.

Main ASHLAND We Never Close for Care The first phase of v Dammasch Hospital will be completed this biennium, and at that time there will be further transfer of patients from the other mental hospitals. It is noteworthy that there is no increase in the mentally ill population at the present time, due to modern intensive therapy and to the improve ment in follow-up and outpa tient techniques. I believe that an analysis and comprehension of ' the above factual information will pretty well demonstrate that we have the problem of the mentally ill and mentally de ficient patient well in hand." Befqre concluding these re marks, I think it would ,be well to also consider the pro gram that is being presented to the Legislature which has every likelihood of meeting with their approval. 1. New money has been ap propriated for the expansion of the Out-patient Department of Eastern Oregon State Hos pital. Occupational and recrea tional therapy facilities will be developed in the Intensive Treatment Building there. 2. A similar program is in force at Oregon State Hospi tal. 3. The Intensive Treatment Unit of Mental Disease, a pilot program, is in full operation at the University of Oregon Hospital at Portland. 4. The Dammasch Intensive Treatment Section, with every component of modern therapy, ' will be in operation this bi ennium. 5. . There is a mental reha bilitation project going at the present time with the Oregon State Hospital and participat ing home county. 6. There is an increased ap propriation from $230,000 to $704,000 for the teaching of our mentally retarded in the public schools. 7. Appropriations have been authorized for 100 schol arships for teachers of the mentally retarded that they may qualify and thus the dist ricts will be able to receive these reimbursable funds. , 8. Thre is a further appro priation of $250,000 being considered for the gifted child. While this represents the oth er end of the rainbow, we feel that it is most important that we make it possible for the development of these talents which have been neglected to date. Oregon has 5.6 per cent of its children who have IQ's of over 135. The national ave rage is between 2 and 3 per cent. We feel that these chil dren should be kept in their normal environment but should be given the opportu nity to develop their' special talents with extra programs and extra opportunities out side of the regular school room. We further believe that the creation of the Mid-Columbia Home, the creation of new fa cilities at Fairview, and the shifting of our mentally ill and mentally retarded popula tion, will result in the satis factory care, treatment and development of the unused po tential in our youthful and older citizens.
