Private Power Companies Silent

Washington The private

fish vs. dams controversy.
Such a delay would hold
up Pacific Northwest Power
company for construction of
high Mountain Sheep dam, so
it was expected the utilities
would try to defeat the pend
ing resolution sponsored by
seven Northwest Democratic
senators.
While some of their repre
sentatives sat through the
hearings, listening to public
power and fisheries conserva
tionists applauding the pur
pose of the resolution, they
remained non-committal on
whether the power companies
would oppose it.
Neulral Position
The Eisenhower administra
tion took a neutral position,
for the most part. Some of its
spokesmen pointed out that
the resolution under consider
" ation would not have the bind
ing force of law on the execu
tive branch of the federal gov
ernment because it was only
a concurrent resolution, which
would be passed by both the
House and Senate but not sent
$60,000 Damages
Sought in Suit
A complaint asking more
than $60,000 in damages in
connection with a traffic acci
dent on Aug. 9, 1957, was
filed in circuit court recently
by Lillie Opal Mildred Wil
kins, 609 West 10th st., Med
ford. The complaint cnarges En
glebert Stenger of Sepulveda,
Calif., with negligent, careless
and reckless driving, as a re
sult of which Mrs. Wilkins suf
fered reportedy permanent in
juries.
The accident occurred at the
intersection of Eighth and Hol
ly sts. in Medford.
According to the complaint,
Mrs. Wilkins says that she re
ceived injuries to her head,
arm, and abdomen, and that
the .effects of these injuries
are nermanem. . .
Mrs. Wilkins, manager of
the Medford Convalescent

special damages, to cover al
leged medical care and loss of
earnings, as well as costs.

joint resolution, which has the
force of law, would be better.
Whether this is a strategic
suggestion or not remains to
be seen. But it would give the
president the opportunity to
veto the resolution, if the ad
ministration should decide to
oppose it. The private utilities
might seek to persuade him to
veto it, should Congress make
it a joint resolution.

Go Ahead and Spray, But '
There Will Always Be A Bug
Sounds fantastic and impos
sible, but scientists, peering
through powerful microscopes
actually have seen tumors on
the brain of an ant. Neither
would it be beyond the realm
of possibility for someone to
discover insects experiencing
nervous breakdown, ' or bugs
with neurotic complexes
which might cause them to
jump when they should crawl,
or fly when they would be
better off standing still. '
Nervous disorders of vari
ous kinds could be developed
by any insect which happens
to hear about all the powerful
insecticides being planned or
developed for their destruc
tion. Hearing about those
things would be enough : to
"scare the pants off" the brav
est bug.
Keep Even
In spite of it all, they al
ways seem to keep even, or at
times . to come out ahead.
Think of all the big chemical
companies with thousands of
men, hundreds of chemists, all
working night and day with
millions of dollars worth of
equipment and machines just
to make a compound that . will
kill a bug." But the bugs "pay
them no mind." Not a single
one of them seems to have a
worried look on its homely
face.
It would be a pretty conceit-
"Let's Stop
Filth
through
the Mails!
It became evident in the
hearings that the hope of
those who proposed this mora
torium is .that fishery "re
search might be increased and
succeed in solving the prob
lem of getting migratory fish
around high dams so that the
Nez Perce dam could be built.

of advocating that project at
this time, because it would

ed optimist that would claim
there are fewer bugs today
than there were 50 or 100
years ago in spite of the tons
of poison and the train-loads
of insecticides that have been
squirted and sprayed on just
about everything that grows
During the last decade the
amount of poison designed to
kill bugs is beyond calcula
tion.
Science admits, reluctantly,
that of all living things on the
face of this earth, bugs are the
only creatures that have never
lost a single species. Disgust
ingly enough, all the different
kinds of insects with which
the world started are, still
here, and in goodly numbers.
As if the situation was not
bad enough, entomologists are
said to be discovering about
4,000 new and different spe
cies every year. Add this to
the already known and clas
sified 700,000 kinds, and the
problem gets just a little
sticky-or buggy.
If you think you have them
licked in your own yard, just
drop a piece of food, or a
green leaf, or plant a garden.
Then grab your faithful spray
gun, close your eyes and
squirt. But don't deceive your
self. The bugs are still going
to be among those present for
a long time to come. .

"The crisis on the Snake

that the fish problem cannot

Gus Norwood, executive sec

"If we beat this problem,
we can build some of the fin

Marcia P. My husband and
I have quite different ideas
about child rearing - and I'm
afraid we're confusing and up
setting our children because
of this. We'd like to know
who is right. .
I feel the most important
thing children can learn is
how to get along with others
To have good relationships
with others they must be able
to do the same things, share
the same experiences.

it.
Howard P. I think that the
worst thing that has happen
ed to us in the twentieth cen
tury is the collapse of all
standards except one being
with the crowd.
I want my children to learn
to think for themselves. I do
not -approve of a 15-year-old
girl wearing lipstick or going
to a party at which alcoholic
beverages are served. Lots of
girls in our . community do
these things, but not my
daughter. Our son, too, has
twice as many responsibilities
and half the privileges of the
average boy of 12.
Our kids resent it, sure. But
I know that someday they'll
be grateful for their upbring
ing. The Council: We agree with
Howard that the sacrifice of
personal' standards and indi-
vidualims in thought on the
altar of "good relationships
with others" has been a de
structive trend in our times.
But we also believe in tem
pering righteousness with a

Reluctant on Stand
The corps of engineers were
reluctant to take . a stand.
They are just concluding a re
view of the 308 report, and
until that is out probably
next January-their opinion of
the best way to develop that
river area won't be certain.
Sen. Warren G. Magnuson
(D-Wash.), chief sponsor of the
resolution, is in no hurry
about rushing it through. He
says field hearings in the Pa
cific Northwest may be held
this fall. He has heard from
some groups, such as the In
land Empire Waterways asso
ciation, requesting to be
heard.
By that time, possibly the
private utilities will have de-
the most comforming stage of
their lives. At no other time
of life does being one of the
crowd seem quite so import
ant. It is necessary for every
one m our society to pass
through some such stage. It is
a way of growing up grow
ing away from parents and
forming ties with one's own
generation.
We don't think it is neces
sary to give in to every de
mand of the child's at this
stage simply because he says
"the others are doing it." But
it is necessary to make some
allowance for his need to be
noticed and approved in his
own age group.
Howard is a little oversold
on his notion that his chil
dren's resentment will auto
matically turn to gratitude
when they get older. It is true
that most children tend to
become more understanding
of their parents' point of view
and appreciative of their ef
forts as they mature. But we
do think it is necessary or de
sirable to a child to go through
years of bitterness and unhap
piness in order to learn Moth
er or Dad was right or meant
right.
A far better way of bring
ing a child forward into his
own individuality would be to
establish certain basic prin
ciples with great firmness, but
to be understanding and open
to reason on details. A child
who knows that his point of
view gets a fair ana sympa
thetic hearing is far more apt
to have the courage of his
convictions than one wno is
forced to accept the law hand
ed down by a rigid parent.

90 Per Cent of
Voters Expected
To Cast Ballots
Honolulu (DPS The many
colored peoples of these
Polynesian islands go to the
polls today to elect their first
representatives as the 50th
state of the United States.
Enthusiasm for statehood
was so high that Secretary of
State Ed Johnson predicted 90
per cent of registered 'voters
would cast ballots to elect a
governor, lieutenant governor,
two U.S. senators, a U.S. con
gressman and 62 state legisla
tors. Virtually every race and na
tion which has contributed to
the population of the islands is
represented on the ballot. The
only contest between two
Caucasians is that for gover
nor. The appointed territorial
governor, William F. Quinn,
a Republican, and the terri
tory's non-voting delegate to
Congress, John A. Burns, a
clpse race for that job.
Expected io Win
A Hawaiian-born Japanese-
American, Daniel K. Inouye,
a Democrat, is expected to wm
election to the House of Rep
resentatives over Republican
Charles H. Silva.
For Senate seat "A," Demo
crat Frank Fasi, a Connecticut-born
businessman, is op
posed by millionaire Chinese
American Hiram Fong, Repub
lican, in what is expected to
be another close race.
Former Gov. Oren Long, a
Democrat, is expected to de
feat Wilfred C. Tsukiyama,
Republican, for Senate seat
B".
Candidates for lieutenant
governor are James Kealoha,
Republican, a Hawaiian
American, and Mitsuyuki
Kido, a Japanese-American.
The new state has 183,000
registered voters, and Johnson
predicted 165,000 will vote to
day. Among them are descend
ants of early Hawaiian kings
and New England mission
aries, English traders and
whalers of all nations, labor
ing immigrants from Portugal,
Puerto Rico and every nation
of Asia.
