On "Organized" Recreation
Since cominer to town less than a year ago,
Bob Haworth, director of parks and recreation
for the city of Medford, has set up quite a pro
gram of recreational activities.
It isn't as extensive, yet, as ne wouiu ime u,
to be. Nor does it, yet, offer a rounded program
of activities to a variety of public tastes and ages.
But he's working on it, with the support oi tne
parks and recreation commission.
- W
SOME people sincerely believe that such an ex
penditure is a "waste" of tax money.
Recreation, thev declare, is something which
each family should provide for itself.
The majority, however, as demonstrated by
their enthusiastic acceptance of parks, play
grounds, swimming pools, and so on, have in
dicated they teel that these are a legitimate unc
tion of the municipality.
Thus the precedent for city mvolvment in
recreational matters has long been accepted. An
organized program is only a logical outgrowth.
EDFORD is not alone in working toward a
aprips nf recreational activities.
The current issue of the Ladies' Home Journal
has a stoiy about the town of Bristol, New Hamp
shire, where residents pay the highest recreation
tax in the nation some $10 per person per year.
"They think it is worth every cent," the
article says. "It provides a year-around civic rec
reation program which keeps their young people
happily busy and off the streets."
4t 4fr fr 4fr
A PRESS release describing the artifa goes
"on to say:
"The hub of Bristol's comprehensive recreation
program is its big brown Community Center Building.
Open all day and nearly every night, the Center's
facilities are available, free, to individuals, clubs, and
even families. A kindergarten meets there five morn
ings a week; junior-high and grade-school gym classes
come during the day. After school, streams of children
arrive for archery, badminton, craftwork, dancing, or
just getting together with friends over soft drinks ...
Equipment for summer or winter sports is lent with
out charge. , ,
"Almost 90 per cent of Bristol's youngsters grades
five through twelve are active in the Center's pro
gram. Newcomers to town are quickly welcomed. 'We
worried about how our 7-year-old would make out in
a strange town,' one parent recalls, 'but the recrea
tion program gave him all the friends he could possibly
need.'
" 'You know,' says one teenager, 'without the
center and all the things it plans, this town would be
a real flop for us kids.' "
SUCH a program is a perfect answer to the not
infrequently heard complaint of youngsters,
"There's nothing to do ! !" m
MerlfnrrPs nroeram is not as extensive as this,
and may never be. But it is going in the right
direction. One of its most important functions is
fhP rnnrdination of activities, whether they be
sponsored by the city itself, by the schools, or by
private organizations.
And Russ Jamison, chairman of the parks
and recreation commission, puts his finger on
another advantage when he points out that the
program as a whole tends to unify and give di
rection and meaning and purpose to . the com
munity as a whole. It helps make people "good
neighbors" again. E.A.

While one can approve, and even be enthusi
astic about, organized recreation, there is one
other activity which is too much negiectea.
We refer to the old-fashioned business of
reading books, magazines, newspapers.
In newspapers we find accounts of the events
of the day, and a familiarity with these is a pre
requisite for good citizenship.
In magazines (there are literally thousands)
one can find ideas, opinions, reporting, history,
philosophy, "self-improvement," almost anything.
Uooks are tne repository oi tne wisuum ui
mankind from its beginnings to the thoughts of
those who attempt to peer into the tuture.
IT IS true, of course, that with the vast amount
of reading material available today, one could
read all day eveiy day and still have come across
nothing worth while.
But it is also time that there is enough worth
while material in book f orm so that anyone could
read all day eveiy day, and never run out of good,
solid, substantial reading matter.
Readme, in short, is a fine f orm of recreation,
but is far more than "just recreation." E.A.

S. Truman,
MILITARY MATURITY
Washington - This is a sur
prisingly bleak season for the
American military services,
whose effec
tive influence
on the policies
of this gov
ernment had
aire ady de
clined to the
lowest point
in memory.
In the sec-
nnA nr nrlfl
William 8. " " V
white war, the
Army had rude code terms for
its own infinite capacity for
messing up its own affairs.
"Snafu" meant "situation
normal; all fouled up." "Fu
bar" meant "fouled up beyond
recognition." "Fubbed" meant
"fouled up beyond belief."
Fubbed is the only word
for the present situation.
Nearly everything that
could have gone wrong had
already gone wrong. And
now there is the disclosure of
the Air Force's melodramatic
idiocy in publishing a pamph
let that linked American
churches with Communism.
Scrabbling among the rival
services for more money for
their own favored defense
plans had put them all in an
unfavorable light. This was
particularly true of that sec
tion of the public which never
served in war and so has
never understood that war
preparations, as war itself,
are by definition wasteful.
THUS, the largest and most
influential part of national
opinion, did not recognize this
either:
In all the money-grabbing
every service involved was
acting for what it deeply be
lieved to be the security of
the United States.
Pentagon direction, more
over, had long been of a sort
that promoted neither internal
discipline nor a sense of con
tinuity. In Thomas Gates the
Pentagon now has the third
top boss it has known during
the Eisenhower admniistra
tion. Neither of his predeces
sors as Secretary of Defense
Charlie Wilson and Neil Mc
Elroy - was around long
enough really to get and stay
on top of the toughest job in
American government.
There is every sign that Mr.
Gates is an able man. AH the
same, he is a new man, at the
top. And there is no reason
to suppose he will be around,
either, after the changing of
the guard in the White House
next January.
FINALLY, President Eisen
hower himself, as a life
long career military officer,
has paid less attention to mili
tary advice than any presi
dent since Woodrow Wilson.
Perhaps leaning over back
ward to avoid any charge of
White House militarism, Mr.
Eisenhower has put the serv
ices on a very thin diet of
standing within the govern
ment. This has been markedly
true of his own old outfit, the
Army.
It is against this back
ground of reality that the la
test foul-up, that of the Air
Force, assumes an almost
tragic meaning. , .
The best military minds we
have are now engaged, with
quiet desperation, in some
thing more than the row over
missile gaps. They are urgent
ly trying to point out . the
great dangers of any Ameri
can retreat, in the coming
summit conference, from our
military position in Berlin.
They deeply believe - and
this correspondent thinks
they are absolutely right -that
any Berlin deal of a kind
likely to be acceptable to the
Russians would be the begin
ning of the end of Allied
military power in Western
Europe.
In the best of circum
stances the task of these de
voted military men would
have been hard enough. A
spirit of negotiation (and
maybe even a touch of ap
peasement) sweeps the west
era world. Every incident,
small or large, that lowers
the prestige of our services
makes matters that much
worse.
ri'rilS is why "tragic" is
hardly too strong for such
episodes as that of the Air
Force and the churches.
And this also is why "The
Fly Boys," as the Army and
Navy fellows sometimes call
the young Air Force, have a
profound duty to grow up into
adult attitudes without fur
ther delay.
Airmen forced the adoption
of the concept of a separate
Air Force by a long and
technically brilliant p r o p a
ganda, much of, wmch was
perfectly sound. At least 20
years ago, the air arm became
the public s sentimental favor
ite, and this it has remained.
But popularity is not
enough. The Air Force must
cease to be what a great field
commander, General Omar
Bradley, once called the Navy
"Fancy Dans.
The spoiled son is again
shown to be over-late in ac
cepting the responsibilities of
adulthood.

She's GOT To Be Good
To the Editor: Concerning
Mr. Anderson's letters on the
subject of women drivers-I
consider myself a very good
driver, for a woman anyway.
My husband and a few as
sorted relatives and neigh
bors of the type that one
should never listen to any
way, don't agree, but I assure
you that it is my completely
unbiased opinion that I am
an exceptionally good driver.
However, I am not as good a
driver as the average male
and very few women are.
In defense of the female be
hind the wheel may I ask
what man has ever driven the
Main Street of Medford with
the following handicaps: In
the front seat of the family
stationwagon is Mrs. Average
American Mother (that seems
to be me) and two dozen
frosted cupcakes designated
for Cuh Scout Den number
five. These cupcakes seem de
termined to ride upside down
on the floor rather than on
the seat where they were
placed.
In the middle seat are tne
family's two pre-schoolers,
and two playmates that were
brought along because our
two little darlings refused to
enter the car without them.
In the back seat are the two
boys who have finally reached
school age (and none too soon
for Mother either), and two
neighbors who are being
watched while their Mother
is at the dentist.
These assorted children are
trying to outdo each other to
see which one can attract the
most attention, . thus Mother
must turn her head every few
minutes to offer either a
threat or a bribe, whichever
is working the most effective
ly on that particular day.
While this is going on she
must also watch for a chance
to get into the other lane
without denting another fend
er. After finally maneuvering
this, she really has a miracle
to perform. She must watch
the pedestrians in case there
might be someone she knows,
watch the other drivers be
cause you can never trust
them, keep an eye on the sig
nal lights which are extreme
ly sneaky and change at un
expected times, hang onto the
cupcakes which are still de
termined they prefer the floor
to the seat, watch the inhab
itants of the back seats for
obvious reasons, and, most
important of all-look into the
windows of four dress shops
because they have undoubt
edly changed them since yes
terday.
Now I ask you, what man
could get the full length of
any street under. those circum
stances?

With outrageous arrogance,
meanwhile, the Soviet Am

for the Socialist leader of the
political opposition to Chan

of calculated rudeness. The
paper itself repeated- all the
most extreme Soviet demands
concerning Berlin, and it in
cluded a sharp warning that
the Soviets mean to get their
way at Berlin by force if
need be.
THIS is very ugly stuff,
whirh shows how little
was really achieved by Pres
ident Eisenhower at Camp
David. At that over-touted
rally, the President merely
p e r s u a ded Khrushchev to
drop his time-limit for action
on the Berlin problem. In or

Eisenhower had to break off
the talks temporarily and
leave for his Gettysburg

bad temper, Khrushchev then
sacrificed his time-limit

he got the President's prom

the President insisted to
Khrushchev that he would

now going to do just that un
less he cancels his Summit
plans. The threat is plain, in

Washington-(UPD - The Air
Force is trying to save us tax
payers some money by pay
ing some of its pilots for not
flying.
To you and
me, this may
sound like
another case
of logic taking
a nose dive.
But to Assist
a n t Defense
Secret ary
Charles C.
Finucane, i t
seemed to
make sense.
The idea of flight pay for
non-flying came about as a
partial solution to the old
problem of how to compen
sate Air Force officers who
are assigned to the Pentagon
and other desk jobs.
Under a long-standing pol
icy, the chairborne command
has been permitted to collect
flight pay while on ground
duty by putting in a few hours
of "proficiency" flying each
month. ,
Don't See Connection
The trouble is, some of our
congressmen have never been
able to see much connection
between flight pay and pencil-
pushing. They keep asking if
there isn't a less expensive
way of getting the paperwork
done,
So there was Finucane, the
Pentagon's manpower chief,
trying to explain to the House
Defense Appropriations sub
committee how Defense De
partment directive No. 1340.4
tackled the problem.
Under its provision, the Air
Force is reviewing its pilot
list to see which ones are no
longer needed up in the wild
blue yonder. Some 2,000 of
these are in danger of being
pruned from the flight -pay
roster.
The directive, however,
makes an exception for of
ficers who have been pilots
for 20 years or longer. It pro
vides that they can continue
to receive flight pay without
doing any flying at all.
Get Driving Jobs
Possibly some of the ground
ed airmen can make up for
the loss of flight pay by get
ting jobs as automobile driv
ers on missile bases.
Rep. Keith Thomson (R
Wyo.) a subcommittee mem
ber, said a driver at a base
he visited told him he was
making about $9,000 a year.
The hearing also brought
out that the Air Force ex
pects to save $50 in the com
ing fiscal year on winter un
derwear. It has knocked five
suits of longhandles, at $10
a suit, off the clothing allowance.
Eager Beavers. One evening
recently we drove by a small
fire north of McAndrews at
Columbus. We parked at the
curb on Columbus south of
McAndrews. As we started to
leave Mr. Importance stopped
in his unmarked police car
and told us to move on, we
couldn't park there. We still
don't know why. There was
no fire equipment, no plug,
and no no-parking sign, and
we were over 500 feet from
the fire.
Then once we ran an amber
light. We were stopped and
the patrolman advised us in
the future to stop on the am
ber. Another time we were stop
ped for not stopping at a stop
sign, which we had done. Af
ter some talking we were as
sured the judge would take
the policeman's word against
the three of us in the carJ
Then I talked too much and
after thinking it over the
policeman figured it might be
hard to make the judge be
lieve he could see around the
corner, and through buildings
over two blocks away.
Talk about amber lights -We
have a corner in Medford
where we wait for the red
light to go on. That's con
fusing? Try going east from
North Central on Edwards st.
It's really hair raising at
times. '
At the price of ten dollars
per amber light I think the
city could make money catch
ing all the people who go
straight through the left turn
only lane at Main and River
side. We are unfortunate and
live on a street where the
"Shot Rods" with their ex
haust pipes loud enough to
wake the dead have their
evening drag races - yes, in
town!
In closing I will say I have
not lived in Medford a long
time. Traffic and driving
habits have changed a lot
since we moved here in 1908.

feeding on its own public
tranquilizers, the ".ew Soviet
moves have also caught the
Western alliance in a sad
state of disarray. Great wads
of paper have been covered
with "position papers" for the
oncoming negotiations about
Berlin. Additional great wads
of paper have been covered
with "contingency plans," for
actions to be taken in case the
Berlin negotiations break
down. But allthese wads of
paper contain no final, firm
ly agreed, united Western an
swer to the main question.
This is simply the question,
whether and when and how
to fight, if need be, for the
few really essential safe
guards of the freedom of West
Berlin, such as the freedom
of the access-routes to the iso
lated city.
-
WITH the President in the
lead, every Western lead
er has loudly proclaimed his
willingness to fight for Ber
lin's freedom if necessary.
But the President has also
taken the lead in refusing to
do the expensive things that
might make Khrushchev be
lieve he will fight for Ber
lin , as anyone can see who
glances at the President's de
fense budget. By the same
token, all the Western posi
tion papers and contingency
plans go almost to "the end
of the road" as the policy
makers now call the grim
main question. But none of
them quite reaches the end
of the road.
Western unity on this ter
rible main question could
never be hoped for in the
past, and it cannot be hoped
for in the future, without the
strongest leadership by the
President of the United
States. A sense of urgency
and purpose in the White
House is the indispensible in
gredient. Yet the dynamo of
the Western machine has con
tinued to purr away on its
customary business-as - usual
