Crane
We don't know why
Press seems more alert
situation than does United Press International.
Only once that we can recall in the past half
dozen years has the UPI carried one of the twice
yearly bulletins, reporting on the status of the
precarious whooping crane population.
But the AP, possibly through the influence of
a whooping crane enthusiast on its staff, reg
ularly comes through in the spring, when the
sad remnant of the big birds leave the Aransas
National Wildlife Refuge in Texas for their nest
ing places in the far Canadian north, and again
in the fall during the southward migration.
CO, THIS week we read in an AP dispatch from
Washington, D.C., that 29 of the cranes, in
cluding two young ones, have returned to Texas.
Thirty-two flew northward last spring. With the
two recently-hatched birds, this leaves five un
accounted for.
So what, you ask? , '
Well, it's a matter of attitude. Some people
couldn't care less. Others feel-that it's a shame
that these huge birds, which once darkened the
skies with their six-foot wing spans, should be so
close to extinction.
And, being among the latter, we keep hoping
that the last few remaining will all make the
dangerous passage safely twice each year, and
each year bring back a few more young ones, and
finally build back their numbers so whooping
cranes will not join the dodo and passenger
pigeon all gone forever. E.A. -
People
Somewhere along the line, when the state
board of census announced its new population
estimates for Oregon as of July 1, both wire serv
ices carried the estimates of city populations, but
somehow missed the 36 counties.
So, thanks to the Oregon Voter, which makes
a tidy practice of printing figures and statistics
in all imaginable fields, we are now able to report
that Jackson county's current population is esti
mated at 71,300 persons an increase of 21.9
per cent from the official U.S. census of 1950.
During the nine-year period, the board re
ports that the "natural" increase, through child
births minus deaths, was 7,655, and that the net
migration increase was 5,135.
.-...
THE gain from July 1, 1958, to July 1, 1959,
was placed at 2,640 or 68,660 to 71,300.
It is interesting to note that, during the same
period, the city of Medford gained 2,000 (from
24,300 to 26,300), leaving a net gain for all the
rest of the county of only 640.
This we find difficult to believe-r-particularly
in view of the fact that cities other than Medford
were estimated to have increased a total of 405.
We have a hunch that the census board's esti
mates might be off just a bit, for we are virtually
certain that there was an increase of more than
235 in unincorporated areas last year.
DUT let it pass. It will be straightened out when
the federal census is taken next year. And this
also will give the board of census a new and ac
curate base for future estimates.
The census board's 1959 estimates gave a
total of 28,575 persons in unincorporated areas of
the county, compared to 26,933 in the 1950 census
or an increase of 1,642 persons in nine years,
which is 6.1 per cent.
One reason for this small increase, compared
to the growth of the cities, may of course be the
annexation elections, where large numbers of "un
incorporated" residents were shifted to city popu
lations. ... V
The increase in city-dwellers between 1950
and 1959 is estimated at 35.4 per cent from
31,577 to 42,725. - -
JACKSON county has grown more rapidly, the
census board believes, than either of the neigh
boring counties of Josephine and Klamath, both
in actual numbers and in percentage;
Josephine county was listed at 26,542 in 1950,
at 29,070 last year, and 30,880 this year a nine
year increase of 16.3 per cent.
In Klamath county, the 1950 population was
42,150; in 1958 was estimated at 43,390, and
this year at 48,000, a nine-year increase of 13.9
per cent. ' ,
" Note that Klamath's population estimate shot
up in the past year, however presumably ' the
result of the establishment of Kingsley Air Force
base, and the opening of the new Johns-Manville
plant north of Klamath Falls.
IN ANY event, the figures show a continued
healthy growth for our southwestern and oouth
central Oregon area. -
It can be expected to continue.
Incidentally, six Oregon counties lost popula
tion between 1950 and 1959 all but two of them
eastern Oregon counties: Grant (-4), Malheur
(-.4), Union (-2.6), and Wheeler (-22.7).
Tfie two western Oregon counties which lost were
Clatsop (-11) and Yamhill (-7.4). .
The county which gained the most was Curry,
on the southwestern coast; with a huge jump of
131.5 per cent in nine years from 6,048 to 14,

Liked Coverage
To the Editor: My personal
thanks as well as those of the
State Council of Women's
Hospital Auxiliaries of Ore
gon for the outstanding cov
erage just recently completed
in the Medford Mail Tribune,
on the Candy Stripers of
Rogue Valley Memorial Hos
pital.
It was an excellent job pic
torjally, as well as journalis
tically and at this particular
time, most appropriate, due to
the trend, nationally as well
as locally, of recognizing the
potentialities "of developing
future careers in nursing as
well as related hospital and
medical professions from the
ranks of junior auxiliaries
The future leaders dedicated
to maintaining the health
standards of coming genera
tions may well be the Junior
engaged in selfless service to
her community today.
You have not only done a
great favor to the local hospi
tal and its organization
through your work, but you
should know the end results
may carry further than pos
sible to antieinate. Th nres
lias helped us much, through
out the state, and a great deal
of our growth could not have
been accomplished without
your patient "understanding
and sincere advice.
So, please accept our hum
ble thanks and sincere appre
ciation. We could use more
of such help in our cause.

Old Timer on Park Plan
To the Editor: Why hasn't
something been done pertain
ing to that strip of country
between Gardiner and Flor
ence called the Sand Dunes?
Why has our congressman
just now, after all these
years, decided it should be
converted into a National
Park?
It has been now 68 years
since Joean Gibson and I left
Independence, Ore., with a
wagon and team on our way
to that very neck of the
woods where Porter and Neu
berger are trying so hard to
get the people of Oregon con
verted to seeing the import
ance of this park. And I am
one that does agree that it
should be a National Park,
and should have been a long
time ago,-
When we made the trip we
could only go as far as the
head of tide on the Siuslaw
river, which was 100 miles
from Independence. There we
had to leave our team and
wagon, hire a boat, and go
20 miles down to Florence,
leave our boat at Glenada,
then walk south to lear lake,
get another boat to cross
Clear lake, then walk a half
mile to Siltcoos lake, get an
other boat and cross over sev
en miles to what they called
Fiddle creek. We were there
to bring Joeah's folks out to
Independence to pick hops,
which we did. f
While I have never lived
in that part of Oregon myself,
I did marry a girl whose folks
took and proved up a home
stead near the east end of
Tahkenitch lake. My wife's
father's name was J-E. Will
son, and he lived and died in
Medford on Court street in
1928. My wife and I took a
trip down to the coaft about
II years ago. When we came
to Honeyman park south of
Florence, we turned off to
the right, went over to Fiddle
creek, and come out almost
in front of the Grange hall,,
and just around to the right,
sure got a hicb soft lap.1
and there is the old Gibson
squatter's claim where we
went 68 years ago. Joean has
now been dead three years,
and I have just received a
letter from Brama, the oldest
of the three sisters and the
only one of the Gibson family
still alive. She now is 83
years old and still lives at
Florence. I am 88.
This park business isn't the
only thing that has been ne
glected in Oregon. Our tim
ber should never have been
allowed to drift into the
hands of big interests, and
more than anything else, the
power resources on our riv
ers and streams. See how we
are all being held up for
power and lights, and ; it is
getting worse all the time.
Quit straining at a gnat and
swallowing a camel.

Thanks to Eagle Point
To the Editor: This is to the
People of Eagle Point:
It was with sincere regret
that Harold finally made the
decision to resign as marshal
last week. The years he has
spent in this job have been
some of the happiest years of
our lives, and we will never
be able to forget how good
life in a little town can be
when you have such wonder
ful people for friends and
neighbors.
We hope to go on for a
good many years having you
all for friends and neighbors,
but Harold felt the time had
come for him to have some
of the peace and quiet which
a private citizen has and nev
er realizes until he is with
out it. We do want to thank
each and every one of you
and just let you know how
much it has meant to us to
knowjyou,and be able to work
with you and serve you.
Above all, I want to once
again express the undying
gratitude I shall always feel
to everyone for the way you
stood by us when we lost our
little girl last year. The things
you did and the consolation
and comfort you gave us are
truly reflections of the love
of God. I do want you all to
know how deeply we appreci
ate it and how you gave us
the courage to go on when
it seemed impossible to do so.

She Worries About Him
To the Editor: To the youth
that picked a number at ran
dom and made an obscene call
at 9:15 Sunday evening.
The message you gave to
me is of no concern to me. I
am an old lady. But what it
did to you is my concern.
My whole life has been link
ed with boys my own, the
4-H and Boy Scouts and I
have yet to meet a youth that
I thought was all bad. And I
wish I had the opportunity of
knowing you. I am so sure I
would find something Jn you
that was admirable.
Regardless of your age,
what you did last night in a
moment of what, you thought
was funny will not make you
proud of yourself when you
become an adult.
If you wish to make amends
forget about me, but I hope
you will never be guilty . of
such a thing again.

Encroaching Age, Red Chinese
Pressures, Discomfit Nehru
By PHIL NEWSOM
' UPI Foreign Editor
Events continued to trans
pire in India this week which
Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru sincere
ly 'wished he
could ignore.
One is his
birthday, oc
curring Nov.
i4.. .
The other is
the continued
presence of
Red Chinese
troops on soil
claimed by In
Ptul Newsom
dia, and their obvious deter
mination to remain there.
Nehru is 70 years old this
week, a fact he would like
the Indian people to overlook.
It is not a happy time because,
it finds him embroiled in a
bitter dispute with Red China
which involves the crumbling
of the very cornerstone upon
which his foreign policy has
been based. -
That policy since 1954 has
been based on the five prin
ciples of co-existence" which
he and Red Chinese ' Premier
Chou En-Lai worked out at
the same time Nehru 'recog
nized Communist rule over
Tibet.
Loses Buffer Zone
The policy continued in ef
fect until this year when the
Red Chinese forcefully con-,
firmed suspicions that they
were looking beyond Tibet
and into India's northeast ter
ritory, Bhutan, Sikkim and
the Ladakh section of Kash
mir. In the meantime, Nehru has
found it necessary in notes to
Peiping to "regret" Chinese
actions and to dispatch ele
ments of his 500,000-man
army to the border to prevent
further Communist incur
sions. A Chinese proposal for a 25
mile buffer zone still would
leave Red Chinese forces on
land claimed or policed by In
dia. .Nehru's difficulties are

may be traced directly back to I
1 J
ing 'em. Another 5,500 or so
were trying manfully to keep
the old stuff, thrown out, and
you can see that's-an uneven
contest.
Records Outgrow Storage
Letters are only part of the
deluge. There are forms. Tax
returns. .Files on pensions,
loans, farm price supports.
Payrolls. Contracts. Also di
rectives on how to cut down
on all the items just named.
Currently our government
makes records at the rate of
3,500,000 cubic feet yearly.
About 76 per ' cent of -this
stuff now is covered by dis
posal plans under which it
is supposed to be thrown out
in from' 30 days to 75 years.
A tiny fraction of what's
left Will wind up in the Na
tional Archives, where per
manent records are kept.
These range from the Declar
ation of Independence through
service records of Confederate
soldiers down to microfilmed
payrolls of the WPA.
This structure was built in
1935 for $9 million to take
care of our permanent rec
ords forever. So 25 years later
it's full.
Counting it all, we are
tending now about 24 million
cUbic feet of records, enough
to fill 4 million file cabinets
or seven buildings the size of
the Pentagon. Making, tend
volved, .was joined three
months ago - but appears yet
a long way from being decid
ed. The county, was moved to
file suit last summer in an
attempt to uphold zoning
regulations and halt removal
of gravel from land near
Armitage Park on the Mc
Kenzie River. The suit has
yet to be tried, and, in the
interim, gravel . has been
stripped from some 40 acres
of the land in question. A
county petition to have the
circuit court keep in force a
restraining order, pending out
come of the suit, was denied
in early August.
In a letter to the district
attorney's office last week the
kount y commissioners ex
pressed concern that . more
agricultural land in the Willa
kenzie area will be mined for
gravel before it is finally de
termined in the courts wheth
er such can or can not be pro-,
hibited under county zoning
powers. In their letter the
commissioners pointed out:
"To suffer this loss of land to
continuing utilization by com
ing generations because of
undetermined legality of a
legislative act is unfortunate."

Rockefeller Given
Slim Chance in Poll
, Washington (DPB -, News
week Magazine says a poll by
its political experts shows that
Gov. Nelson A.- Rockefeller's
chances of beating Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon for the
GOP presidential nomination
are "very dim indeed."
The magazine said the poll
by its experts in the 50 states
showed that "if. Rockefeller
wants the nomination at all,
he must frankly say so; and
start campaigning openly and
hard. Rockefeller must woo
the GOP pros, beguile the vot
ers, shape sharp and defini
tive issues.
"If possible, he must try to
convince the partythat Rocke
feller - and Rockefeller alone
- .can win the presidency in
November, 1960. And even if
fye does do all that, and more,
Nelson Rockefeller, may still
fall short of the nomination."

Complaint Thwarts Program
Starting in 1950 experts lay
awake nights figuring ways to
produce fewer records and
throw out existing ones fast
er. ,
But the program was just
well under way when it ran
out of steam.
That happened when the
Republicans won the 1952
elections. Rep. John Taber
(R-N.Y.) charged that outgo
ing Democrats were burning
the files to keep their GOP
successors from learning what
they liad done.
Nobody would throw away
even an old telephone book
for quite awhile after that.
But things got moving
again and for the last several
years we have been able to
throw out at about the same
rate we generate.
"You can look at that either
way," Herbert E. Angel, as
sistant national archivist said,
"we're in a rut, or we're beat
ing inflation. I take the hope
ful view. When a few. years
pass and we're got no more

been removed from the prop

ty's suit. However, the com
missioners note that highway
contractors are optioning ad
ditional agricultural land in
the Willakenzie area and that
this - poses an additional im
mediate threat to the public
interest. - '
Because of the seriousness
of the situation, the commis
sioners have asked for a
speeding of legal proceedings.
In view of their failure to win
a court restraining orde'r in
the first instance, the com
missioners are not hopeful
that they might now, should
there be other graver opera
tions started on lands zoned
for agricultural usage.

The peoples of all three are
identical to those of Tibet.
Much of their trade is pointed
in the direction of Tibet.

test of strength, the Indian
army would be no match for
the three-million-man force
maintained by Red China. ;

We Never Close
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
In New Delhi, capital of
India, Premier Nehru makes
public a diplomatic note he
has sent to Peiping. In it, he
accuses Red China of "aggres
sive policies reminiscent of
OLD IMPERIALIST POWERS
against whom both India and
China struggled in the past.
. He adds:
"Where aggression takes
place, the people of India in
evitably will have to resist
by all means available to
them."

Mr. Nehru is finally looking
hard, cold facts squarely in
the eye. For these many years,
his hatred of Western imper
ialism has blinded him to the '
truth-which is that no matter
how bad Western imperialism
may have been for Asians over
the centuries of the past, mod
ern COMMUNIST imperialism
will be worse.
Let's give him credit for
that.
IN the little Republic of
Panama, there are student
riots - prompted by YOU
KNOW WHO.
The rioting students have
asked the Panama govern
ment to denounce the treaty
under which the U. S. holds
the Panama canal zone in
perpetuity.
They say a new treaty
should be drawn recognizing
Panama's authority in the
zone. . .
WOULD that be good?
Would the Western Hem
isphere like it? -Would
the Western Hemi
sphere stand for it?
I THINK the answer to all
three questions is a flat NO.
No matter how much Latin
America may resent American
guardianship of the Panama
Canal, it must be apparent to
all INTELLIGENT Latin
Americans that American su
zerainty over the canal wiU
be better than the suzerainty
of . a Communist puppet re
gime. .
WE think of the Panama
Canal as a short cut for
water-b o r n e commerce . be
tween our East Coast and our
West Coast.
It is more than that. It is a
strategic strait. Whoever con
trols it will control the water
borne commerce of the West
ern Hemisphere. To that
extent it is the Western coun
terpart of the Strait of Singa
pore. Whoever controls the
Panama Canal controls the
short and economical water
route from the Atlantic to the
Pacific-just as whoever in the
past has controlled the Strait
of Singapore has controlled
the' short and economical
route from the Pacific Ocean
to the Indian Ocean.
For our own" protection, we
MUST- control the Panama
Canal. If we don't SOME
BODY ELSE will. That's the
long and the short of it.
