The definitions of "freeway" and "through
way" are bothering a young man named Jim
Welch, who writes editorials for the Salem
Capital Journal, and has a low boiling point.

Our often-stated antipathy to billboards, we
learn, is off base.
We leara this from an article by an adver
tising man in the latest Harper's magazine, which
says that objections to billboards because they
mar the scenery is entirely beside the point.
He says, to the contrary, the real objections
to billboards are that
privacy; that they intrude
one wishes them to or
other function except this intrusion ; that they are
not a "medium of advertising" at all (as are
radio, TV. magazines and newspapers, which
provide entertainment or information to "carry"
th3 advertising) ; and that, whether anyone real
izes it or not, the time of the billboards has run
out.
And he says:
". . . Just as the Open Range ceased to exist when
private interest was no longer compatible with public
rights, so it is with outdoor advertising."
THIS author's name is
fVia Qi-tiVla ia novt nf n
will be called "How to Read an Ad."
He says, in part:
". . . Outdoor advertising is peddling a commodity
it does not own, and without the owner's permission:
your field of vision The individual's (field of vision)
is intentionally violated by billboards every day . . .
"... A billboard ... is there for the sole and ex
press purpose of trespassing on your field of vision.
Nor is it possible for you to escape; the billboard in
flicts itself unbidden upon all but the blind or recluse.
Is this not an invasion of privacy? I think it is . . .
Moreover, this invasion of your privacy is compounded
by its resale to a third party. It is as though a Peeping
Tom, on finding a nice window, were to sell peeps at
two bits a head.
"Thus we see what the Industry has to seU doesn't
really belong to it. It belongs to you . . ."
E.A.
Anyone Object?
One more billboard item, and we'll quit.
A billboard company has asked :
(a) to erect a billboard on public property at
the south end of the Medford Armory grounds,
and
(b) a zoning variance to make it legal.
The site is 1030 feet south of Stewart ave. on
the east side of Highway 99, just as the motorist
passes the city limits and approaches the Armory
and Maple Grove park.
We'd be interested to know if anyone (be
sides us, that is) objects to this. E.A.

Against School Bonds
To the Editor: I have a let-
tea- from Chas. O. Porter with
a card to fill out, taking a poll
on several different subjects.
I also have the Sunday edition
of the Mail Tribune with a
story about Central Point
schools and the first public
announcement that there is
going to be a District 6C vote
on a $295,000 bond issue.
There has probably been a
legal announcement of the
election, but if tHfere has been
any other publicity of any
other kind I have failed to
notice it. I think this bond
issue should be voted down.
It is the parents' job to feed
their chiMren, not the schools.
The very last statement
from the board of directors of
the 6C district, I quote, "the
meeting of state standards in
order that district 6C will be
assured of state monetary
aid." In other words if we
meet state standards we will
get state money. I would like
to ask a couple of questions,
Who gives out the state
money? And who sets up state
standards? Is the state going
to think for the people 01
district 6C and tell them what
kind of schools we can af
ford?
Now I want to call atten
tion to one of the questions
that Rep. Porte wants us to
answer. "Do you favor Fed
eral financial aid, with no
lessening of state and local
control, for public schools?"
Now, if the state requires us
to have certain kind of schools
and buildings before we can
get money from the state, can
we expect the Federal govern
ment to do any less?
Vote no on the bond issue
in District 6C. Tell your con
gressman we want no Federal
money for schools. It is time
the people take control of
some of these th&igs back into
their own hands. I would
sooner have my children in a
one room school with a Mc
gwgfy reader and a slate and
maybe a speller and have
something to say about what
they are taught than have to
comply with state standards
of some far away board of
education. According to the
word of God, parents are sup
posed to be responsible for
their education and not the
state.

there were cigarettes

boys who smoked had to roll
their own. Businessmen

Today babies are started in
sucking a sugar-teat so it is
only natural for them to need
a pacifier later on. Of course
nobody smokes in our club
room, for some elderly people
would get sick, but I do not
mind the odor of smoke. I
know of no perfume as sweet
as the smell of smoke from a
small campfire as it rolls up
around a pail of black cof

Fairbanks - Alaska holds

one. For most, there is a feeling
of mystery, brought by not
knowing, by hear-say stories
of cold, harsh climates, and
barren, treeless, arctic wastes.
To these people, Alaska is the
farthest off corner of the
earth. Its very name brings
to their mind a picture of
great blizzSrds, and ice chok
ed seas; a vast area inhabited
only by lichens and scrub
willow. Alaska to them seems
almost unreal.
But to those who know

"Amen"
To th Editor: As a rural
correspondent for your won
derful paper for 30 years, will
have to answer "Amen" to
the editorial on Friday, Jan.
29, captioned "Shop Talk."
I heartily agree.
How many times folks out
here in the rural district have
said to me, "Please don't print
about my brother from anoth
er state being here to visit
me, because my sister wno
lives in Medford will read it
and then get mad because he
didn't stop to visit her too."
Another time a party called
me up at 5 bells in the a.m.
while I still was in the arms
of Morpheus, and nearly
nearly, scared me to death to
have my phone ring at that
hour, and then hear a lady's
voice say, "Who gave you
the information we sold cur
ranch?" I answer, a member
of her family did, when she
pipes up and says, "Well,
they were only fooling and
you started an uproar here by
putting that in the paper. "
Well, I informed the lady
was sorry if I was wrong
and would retract the state
ment, so went and found out
from the folks who did buy
the ranch that it was true, so
just skipped it.

A Personal Victory
De Gaulle's victory in Al
geria was strictly a personal
one. It therefore raised the
question of the real strength
of the new French Fifth Re
public. What would happen
to it with de Gaulle's passing
and whether in reality the
Fifth Republic actually was
not a "de Gaulle republic."
There also was the question
of France's place in the North
Atlantic Alliance, and her re
liability as a partner.
lived here, and have experi
enced its winter, and to those
who have seen the beauty
that is Alaska's, all feeling of
unreality vanishes.
Alaska is as real as any
place on earth. It is a region
where life abounds, and ex
quisite scenery prevails.
This is a young country,
with young people, and young
ideas. Alaska is filled with
interesting, little-known sec
rets which only await the cur
iosity of some young man or
woman to pour forth its hap
piness and bounty.
As a student at the Univer
sity of Alaska, I come into
close contact with the vitali
ty and energy of Alaska's
youth. I have learned, from
them to think big, and to
think optimistically. That is
Alaska's way. I now hold in
common with the native a
great faith in today and a
bright outlook for tomorrow.
Just being associated with
these friendly, out-going, and
exuberant people, has filled
me with a new lust for life.
The University of Alaska is
a melting pot of races and re
ligions. I have never seen
such a harmonious conglom
erate of different nationali
ties and faiths. This is one of
the most impressive and
heart warming characteris
tics of the university.
Chinese, Japanese, Korean,
Filipino, African, British,
Hungarian, Brazilian, Mexi
can, and American are a few
of the nationalities which are
represented - here. Students
from almost every state in the
union, including Florida, Ha
waii, and Texas come here to
seek their fortunes.
Each student brings with
him a way of life, a faith, and
a personality. And from this
variety emerges a small but
strong student body; strong in
unity and co-operation, strong
in happiness and friendship,
and above all, strong in bro
therhood. One of them is a young Ko
rean artist named Daiil Park,
who was taken prisoner by
the Communists and made to
paint pictures of Lenin and
Stalin for propaganda posters.
He endured this until his
guards relaxed their vigil
ance, and when the Commu
nist army invaded Seoul, he
and a few other art students
painted signs lampooning the
Communist regime. They
were able, with much diffi
culty and great Sanger, to es
cape to the American lines,
where Daiil worked as an in
terpreter until after the war.
Also attending the Univer
sity is a young Hungarian,
who, during the revolt of
1956, played an active role

In the Day's News
By FRANK
From Algiers:
The French settlers revolt
against President Charles de
Gaulle collapsed. The insur
gents surrendered their bar
ricaded positions in the city
(which is the capital of Al
geria) without a fight.
Last to surrender was red
bearded Pierre Lagaillarde,
leader of the rebellion, who
led his men out from the bar
ricades BEHIND A FRENCH
TRICOLOR. The Tricolor to
the French is what Old Glory
is to us. What that means is
that they marched, out as
FRENCHMEN.
Moments later, other French
settlers who had defied De
Gaulle and the French army
for more than a week began
dismantling the main barri
cade. The dispatches report
that many of them had tears
in their eyes.
IlHAT'S it all about?
' ' It's a long story - too long
to be retold here. These set
tlers feel that they and their
ancestors ' have MADE AL
GERIA. They have felt that
they ought to be allowed to
RUN ALGERIA in their way.
There are about a million of
them. There are seven or
eight million Moslem tribes
men. President de Gaulle's
position is that Algeria must
b j run BY THE ALGERIANS,
which includes the Moslem
tribesmen.
That's too brief a summary.
It leaves out too much. But
at least it boils the situation
down to its essentials.
THIS is the big point:
France, at last, has a
STRONG government. The
strong man who has created
this strong government is De
Gaulle. He didn't run for
cover when the going got
rough. He stood pat.
What will come of it all?
For an answer to that, we
must wait and watch. Only
time can tell. But on the face
of today's developments it
looks like De Gaulle has won
the first skirmish of his cam
paign to bring France back
to a position of stability and
INFLUENCE in world af
fairs. THAT interests US.

De Gaulle's victory in Al
geria apparently was clear
cut. He had granted the dissi
dents nothing and he had
made clear his determination
to push ahead with his self
determination plan. He also
had made clear his confidence
that, under the proper condi

Moslems in Algeria would
