On Good-Neighborliness
Edd Roundtree, whose graying crew - cut
doesn't detract from a youthful appearance, is the
new editor and publisher of the Ashland Daily
Tidings.
He confesses nay, proclaims himself a con
servative, one who might have regarded Warren
G. Harding as a dangerous radical.
But he is a knowledgeable man, who has
learned a few things by living in the burgeoning
cities and suburbias of California.
Some of this he passes along in a sprightly
little column in Monday's Tidings.
H
ESAYS:
"Whether we like it or not, Ashland is going to
grow larger in the next few years.
"It can grow in either of two ways; into a fine,
planned community where it will be a delight to live,
or like Topsy, it can just grow up.
"The fact that people who have lived here all their
lives as well as we newcomers are interested in its
future is a decidedly good sign.
"But, despite all good intentions, most of us remain
amateurs in the field of community planning.
"Might it not be a good idea to bring in an expert
outside firm to make up a master plan for future
growth?
"We would obviously never entirely reach the
goal, but even a near miss might be an improvement.
"I once lived in a town where the good citizens
decided to do their own planning with no outside
interference.
"They turned the whole thing over to the chamber
of commerce, which in turn, sponsored a contest with
a prize for the best letter on the subject of what the
town should do to better its lot.
"The prize-winning letter:
" 'Move down the road three miles and start over.' "
VVELCOME to the club, Edd.
This is the sort of thing this page has been
saying, but not nearly so well, for lo these many
years.
What applies to Ashland, applies with equal
force to Talent, Phoenix, Medford, Jacksonville,
Central Point, and everywhere else in the county
where people are moving
a business.
Planning, and zoning, for that matter, has
been attacked as "dictatorship" by some.
It isn't that at all. It simply is people getting
together to set up some machinery whereby what
your neighbor does won't damage you, and what
you do won't damage your neighbor. Moving
down the road solves nothing, unless it's already
too late.
Planning is the essence of good-neighborliness
and democratic procedure in a fast-growing
area. E.A.

Cost of Teaching
To the Editor: I am a grad
uate student at Oregon State
College working on my mas
ter's degree in science. I wish
my degree so that I might
better meet the challenges of
academic expression; so that
I might better express the
heritage of our culture to my
students. This is not a unique
desire, but is near common
place in my colleagues.
In most school districts one
will find three contract lev
els, one for teachers with a
four year educational degree,
one for secondary teachers
with a four year degree plus
an additional fifth year, and
one for teachers with their
masters degree.
There is a differential of
approximately $200 between
each step.
Oregon State College tui
tion is $85 per term. Books,
stationery, and supplies cost
approximately another $25.
Meals average $3.50 per day,
even at the dorm. Housing
will average $25 per month.
My actual cost runs $625.64
per term. And a master's de
gree requires three terms, or
nine months. Thus the cost
is $1,965.
What does nine months
work cost? The teacher will
soon find that with his four
year degree he will start at
approximately $4,000. H e
will in most cases earn an ad
ditional $150-200 per year of
added experience. Thus if he
has been in service for four
years he will earn approx
imately $4,800 gross, or $400
per month. (He will most
likely be paid on a twelve
month plan.) The nine months
he has been unable to work
will cost him an additional
$3,600. And we must count it,
for he would, or could, have
worked even during the sum
mer, and most teachers do.
Thus the additional degree
now costs $5,565.
His masters will earn him
$400 more gross per year; it
will take him over 13 years
to earn this back and be even
with the board!
How much did he NOT
gain by working toward his
degree? If he were to take
this $5565, the cost of the de
gree, and merely put it in
the bank he would earn in
the same period $3,116.40.
Does this not indicate 1)
either the master's candidate
is so unscientific as to not be
aware of the nature of the
compounded . problem, (and
this is quite unlikely), or 2)
his value concept elevates so
ciety, its children and its cul
ture above the material.
It is still possible to find
many students, teachers, and
professors who so evaluate
education and the needs of
our society.
Knowing this, it often
seems strange that the same
society demands more, and
more proof. But with or with
out, I feel very sure teachers,
educators, and students will
always be with us, for they
daily handle a heritage, and
are soon taken by its quiet
greatness.

Use What We Have
To the Editor: The last few
years, anyway since World
War II, schoolrooms, teachers,
and parental delinquency,
have been v the major social
problems confronting almost
every community in the U.S.
Seemingly the only solu
tions so far arrived at in
P.T.A. discussion and other
forums of groups interested
in the problems have only
been compounding the prob
lems instead of coming up
Menace
hWSE GST WEB THE HEAVBSL.'
with logical and workable
answers to them.
One so-called answer is
"Let's find something else to
tax." Another is "Build more
schools, faster and larger."
Any tax and all taxes are
paid by the consumers of
goods and the recipients of
services, whether the tax be
turned over to the govern
ment by a public utility, a
newspaper or a bellhop in a
hotel. . Therefore it would
seem any and all taxes are
pretty well distributed and a
"boot strap operation" lower
ing the standard of living in
one phase to raise it in anoth
er. More efficient utilization of
what we have is a solution
which seems to have little sup
port. The nine - months - a - year
school term had it's inception
at the same time and for the
same reason that a tax on
property was the most feasible
means of raising revenue.
People made their living from
and on the land. During the
summer months the children
were needed, and used, as
helpers to raise the crops and
gather the harvest. Now in
summer months they raise
h and gather on street
corners.
No individual or corpora
tion would be so wasteful as
to build and equip a plant as
expensive as a modern school
and then have it standing idle
three months of every year.
I don't believe the teachers
are paid enough now, and
never have been paid enough
- per year. With more effi
cient use of the physical
school plant there would be
more monev available for
them.
Use the schools- we have!
Eleven and one half months a
year, ten hours a day. Five
hour shifts for students and
teachers. Homework, not
study hall, mass calisthentics
for body building, not sports
for a chosen few.
Let's not be so reluctant to
face up to facts hard work
doesn't hurt anyone, just
makes them sleep better and
aids digestion.
Yes, I have children.

Relative Worth
To the Editor: I
noted the
editorial from the Salem (Ore
gon) Capital Journal entitled
"Mathematics of Teachers
Pay" and have a few com
ments to offer. Perhaps a bit
of food for thought for 'those
who think.'
A teacher is in a relatively
safe occupation in comparison
to a truck driver, an explos
ives 'powder monkey', a
choker setter in the woods, a
timber faller, etc. Evidently
a lot of college people think
there should be no premium
pay for hazardous occupa
tions. Then again, those who
have these relatively hazard
ous jobs have spent many
years, usually, learning their
trades, which should compare
a bit more favorably with
the so-called higher educa
tion. For example what
would be the difference be
tween a person "who spent
four years in apprenticeship
in carpentry or machinist
and one who spends four
years in a college or univer
sity learning to be a teacher,
or laboratory technician, or a
pharmacist, or accountant in
terms of relative knowledge
in their respective fields?
The laboratory technician
or teacher would be just about
as capable of stepping into a
machine shop and operating
all the machines such as
lathes, milling machines,- tur
ret lathes, slotters, planers,
shapers, etc., as the machin
ist would be if he were to
step into the laboratory and
start making blood counts,
stomach contents analysis, X
ray machine, etc.
So if they have equal ex
perience in their respective
fields, why should one get a
higher salary than another?
Could the average school
teacher step into the cab of
a cross country freight truck
and operate it any better
than a truck driver would
teach school?
I wonder, but not for long,
inasmuch as the results are
quite easily predictable. In
the first place the ?aboratory
technician or teacher would
probably wreck the lathe or
milling machine and the ma
chinist in turn would probab
ly wreck the microscope or
fail to analyze correctly the
contents of the patient's
stomach or have a comparable
result with the X-ray ma
chine. And of course the lab
technician or teacher, for ex
ample would no doubt wreck
the truck if he or she were
lucky enpugh to get it under
way. The truck driver has to
pilot a vehicle of total weight
of up to 75 tons over a route
of perhaps 400 miles and try
to keep out of the way of
persons driving passenger
cars, who usually are no
where near as capable of safe
driving.
So, I repeat, why should
one type oi worK command
a higher salary than another,
especially in the face of the
relative safety of doing the
job?

Hospital' Gripe
To the Editor: I would like
to put in a little gripe, if I
may.
It concerns our wonderful
hospital. The Rogue Valley, in
fact.
I injured a finger while
working at Tucker Sno-Cat a
week ago Monday.
They rushed me over to
the hospital at 8:45 a.m.
We went into the emergency
ward. What could they do?
Nothing.
There was just a nurse
there, no doctor and couldn't
get one,
Just what would happen in
case of a very serious acci
dent? D.O.A., I suppose. Looks
like a nice new, large hospital
could have at least one stand
by doctor for as many emer
gencies as happen in this day
and age.

During Meeting of Parliament

UPI Foreign Editor
The West got another of its
comparatively rare glimpses
of the inside workings of the
Soviet Union
last week.
One an
nounce m e n t

a b o 1 ition of
the M.V.D.,
the secret po

the late Pre-
Pbil Kewsnm mier J o s e I
Stalin made an instrument of
his vengance and whose func
tions were scattered widely
after his death and the execu
tion of Lavrenti Beria in 1953.
Another development was
the blunt admission that So
viet propaganda is not getting
through to the people - an
admission which indicated
the Russian people were not
so single-mindedly devoted to
development of the Commu
nist state as its leaders would
have us believe.
Also involved in the week's
development were names
which have been high on the
list of those in the inner circle
of the Soviet master minds.

the first capital of Australia
and served as such until the
year 1900 when a new site,
Canberra, was officially selected.
Two of these were Mikhail

There were indications that
both had been or soon will be
demoted.
Another to feel the lash was
Nikolai I. Belyanyev who ap

These events came during
the meeting of the Supreme
Soviet, the rubber-stamp par

represented first by the cen

the inner group which makes
up the ruling presidium.
Kirichenko and Belyanyev
not only were members of the
presidium, they also were
close friends of Premier Ni

For reasons still unclear,
Kirichenko was ordered put of

The machine was rigged up
by the bureau several years

against N failure of Soviet

Suslov, regarded as one of

played a prominent part in

suffer because of it.
As evidences of failure, the
Soviet press last week report
ed the smashing of a ring of
young black marketeers who
were distributing bootleg rock

film.
A letter also published took
the government to task for
spending more time on pro

The FBI got into the Apala
chin case because it is the
U.S. investigative agency re
sponsible for protecting the
government against fraud. In
this instance, the fraud con
sisted of "the misrepresenta
tion or concealment of facta
concerning matters within
the jurisdiction of the govern
ment."
Smart New York state po
lice work in detecting the
hoodlum's presence in Apala
chin and in taking instant
action was widely remarked
before and during the trial.
A rundown of the proceedings
will show, however, that the
FBI furnished approximately
80 per cent of the evidence
produced against the hood
lum delegates.
Sixteen FBI agents and one
former agent were witnesses
for the government. Thirty
three statements introduced
by the government in connec
tion with the trial were pre
pared as a result of FBI in
vestigation.
FBI's Enemies Know It
The public is little aware
of such phases of FBI opera
tions. The Communist, fellow
traveller and other left-wing
operators who, from time to
time, attempt to oust director
Edgar Hoover or otherwise
to hamper the operations of
the FBI are better informed
than is the general public
about what the FBI does and
why.
There were a couple of
more sorties against the FBI
during the Truman adminis
tration, apparently encour
aged by what their promoters
interpreted as President Tru
man's chilly attitude toward
the organization. None of
these got off the ground al
though there was published a
book denouncing the FBI and
proposing Hoover's ouster.
This book was denounced
in the Senate as "an utterly
biased piece of propaganda."
The author was Max Lowen
thal, a Truman associate dur
ing HST's Senate days. Low
enthal, for example, accused
Hoover of reaching out on
his own in 1940 for authority
to investigate subversive ac
tivities in particular and in
ternal security in general.
What Lowenthal must have
known but did not mention
was that on Sept. 6, 1939,
FDR by execution order in- '
structed Hoover to "take 1
charge of investigative work
in matters relating to
espionage and sabotage."
