Ikes The Oresronian and Portland and Eugene respectively, disagree over wnetner or not .President vetoed the water pollution control bill. The Oregonian says it; tne (auard says the veto was a good one. In this disagreement, the Oregonian sides with the Izaak Walton League, the League of Women Voters, sanitarians and conservationists generally, and with the committee which strongly recommended the bill The Register-Guard U. S. Chamber of Commerce and the other -"balance the budget at any cost" forces. IpHE Oregonian says: "The President. who wants to end federal aid for construction of sewage treatment works entirely argues that water pollution 'is a uniquely local blight, and should be corrected locally. We disagree. Pollution is a national disgrace a national emergency." - The Reeister-Guard. with the President's veto message, which , said in part: "By holding forth the promise of a. large scale program of long term federal support, it would tempt municipalities to delay essential water pollution abate ment efforts while they waited for federal funds." "IXELL, what will be Oregon? Senator Neubeger state sanitary authority ing an estimated $55,d93,000, are needed to con trol present sewage pollution of Oregon water ways. The senator continues: "Under the Federal grant program authorized by Congress in 1956, the Public Health Service has al- ' lotted $2.6 million to Oregon in the last four years. Thirty-six communities were assisted. The program au thorizes construction grants for sewage treatment works by cities, sanitary districts or other: public bodies. Grants are limited to 30 per cent of construc tion cost or $250,000, whichever is less. "In its 1959 annual report, the State Sanitary Au thority declared: 'In spite of these limitations, the amounts which have been allotted each year to Oregon have been woefully inadequate to meet aU requests. It is hoped that Congress in 1960 will authorize increased appropriations for this program . ; .' ". . . Congress did approve the Blatnik bill, boost ing authorizations from $50 million to $90 million an - nually, and increasing the limitation on individual ? projects to $450,000 ..." This was the bill the President vetoed. The future of federal participation in pollution con trol is now m doubt. CVIDENCE on the record indicates the Presi--- dent is just 180 degrees wrong in his assess ment of the results of the program. The Oregonian points out that the offer of federal help has stimulated and encouraged cities (particularly smaller ones like Ashland) to go ahead with programs of pollution control and sewage disposal they could not otherwise afford. Senator Neuberger confirms this by reporting that "since initiation of the federal water pollu tion control program, construction of local facili ties has increased 60 to 75 per cent over the previous five-year average prior to the availa bility of grants." . 'THE Washington Post put in in a nutshell when it said: . . "The great virtue of the Federal program has been that it stimulated exactly the kind of local initiative Mr. Eisenhower admires." So now what? With many Oregon communi ties (even Portland) "unable to afford the kind of sewage plants needed, help must come from somewhere. The Oregonian forecasts: ". . . The State of Oregon will be compelled to . appraise its future in the pollution field. The state - has no fund to help communities meet their needs for sewage treatment facilities. The next legislature may have to consider entering this field. Probably, it should -do so whether or not the federal program is continued. ."Every Oregon citizen has a big stake in ending stream and lake pollution." Ike goofed. E.A. The American Earth These columns have expressed a continuing concern with such things as water pollution, air pollution, planning, zoning, parks and recreation, national parks, wilderness areas, forest manage ment and conservation, water utilization and con servation, soil conservation, billboard regula tion, tree planting, city beautification, and so on. We suspect that more than a few of our read ers tend to get a bit weary of this. ; All we can say in defense, if anv is needed. is that these matters are important vitally im portant if we are to keep the best features of this lovely land, and develop it properly for hu man enjoyment and living. fHIS feeling has been : - the; past few days by our reading of a book, a magnificent book, which puts the whole matter into a larger perspective. , Entitled "This Is The American Earth," the volume was produced by the Sierra Club. In pictures and in words, it tells the stoiy of how unthinking "civilization" plunders and destroys the things which people hold most dear. - The volume (it costs $15, for those who can afford it and worth every cent) is available from the Sierra Club, Mills Tower, San Francisco. And the public library here will have a copy soon, ' We commend it whole-heartedly to any read ers who share our concern with what we will leave to future generations.

ZO& Communications Letters to- the Editor must bear the although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible. The edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often What Are We To Do? To the Editor: Is there no help, no relief, no ordinance or regulation ever to control the hordes of dogs permitted to run loose in Medford? What are we to do? Isn't it time we recognized the un mitigated nuisance and filth created by these dogs and call a spadeful a spadeful? Our beautiful shrubs ruin ed, our garden hose in filth, our shoes, the children's shoss cannot something be done? We keep a spade handy. But what's to be done with the four and five messes we clean up daily, from under clothes lines, the path to the garbage can and even in our planter? For the record, please, if you have the courage to print this, do not publish my name for the same reason the Gar den clubs refuse to do any thing.. They're afraid of of fending neighbors who own these various dogs. But these same neighbors don't seem to care that we are constantly offended by their lack of con sideration by permitting their dogs to run loose, to chase cars, turn over garbage cans, and relieve themselves in our yards. .. -. , ... - ........ ; So we won't be accused of not liking dogs, we'd like to say, too, we've always had a dog or two until we moved to Medford. Our children will soon be going barefoot. For mercy's sake, cannot something be done? One youngster, when told the dog should be kept in his own back yard, which is all nicely fenced, said, "Oh, we can't do that, he messes up our yard!" ' In a recent article on the history of Portland mention was made of "that early time when Portland was consider ed a cowtown and dogs were allowed to run loose." It's time for Medford to stop worrying about the feel ings and votes of dog owners and give some progressive action to this overwhelming problem. How about this, fel low gardeners? Some places were dog li censes are issued as they are in Medford, the license must be attached to the dog at all times, the dog must be kepc on the owner's property and any dog left to run astray is impounded. Additional money is raised by the fines paid to get their dogs back again. If this were written into an ordinance here, maybe some of these proud owners would be forced to take better care of their pets. : Each one thinks his one dog doesn't matter, but multiply this by the dozens and we have a terrific nuisance. (Name on File) Medford. Editor's note:- A dog leash ordinance will be on the Med ford ballot at the May 20 election. An Answer To the Editor: Thank you kindly for printing my letter. Also for the Bible references in your note. Why? It af fords an opportunity to ex plain more than I had plan ned to. - In-the remark about Ham and Noah, it was Ham who committed the . deed, but -it was Ham's son, Caanan, who was cursed. A lengthy tele phone call on other important things interrupted my typing and disturbed my line of thought. So the wrong name was used in the quotation. We do much gospel work over the phone and through the mail. So interruptions cause a change of thought some times. In regard to the references in vnnr nntp wo finrl it- w amusing to see how quickly I Menace name and address of the writer, Mail Tribune reserves the right to the case. some can see the command in Matthew 7:1 to judge not that ye be not judged. But so few read far enough to see the command in St. John 7:24 to judge not according to the appearance, but judge right eous judgment. So we are commanded to judge as well as to not judge. . The Holy Ghost is sent to reprove the world of sin, of righteousness and judgment. This spirit commands such people to re buke the sinners before all, even sharply and with all au thority, and to rebuke the ones who sin against us. If we do not keep God's commands we are liars and the truth is not in us. Having this spirit and power I am not out of my place in doing so. There seems to be so few born again Christians that the rest of the world cannot un derstand their language, but will quickly reject Gods words and speak evil of the Christians. Since I included myself in all essential things in my let ter why should I be consider ed as the man of Luke 18:11? Not being guilty of fornication or nakedness it was not neces sary to include myself in that Besides that I gave God's words, not mine. So he would be as in Luke 18:11, not my self. This man sat in Moses seat, and rejected God's commands for his own traditions. I am not guilty of such so I could not be he. A Christian gentle man called me and advised me to answer you as I had planned to, stated you showed approval of the evil I wrote against by your references, and should be answered so. Mrs. G. C. Cunningham Box 381 Central Point, Ore. Men - Not Women , To the Editor: I read an ar ticle in the Medford Mail Tri bune regarding a statement by Gov. Hatfield on the pos sibility, of sterilization of un wed mothers on welfare. I would like to ask a question, and also say what is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. Question: What are the sta tistics on how many women are prosecuted for rape, mur der, maltreatment, and rob bery of the victim, incarcer ated : for a few years, then turned loose to lure" another victim? Now, sterilizing the unwed mothers who are the victims, often unwillingly and likely young girls who have all of their lives to pay for the crime committed against them by a man, who in many cases is not even censured, won't solve the problem of birth control. For the man goes free to father hundreds more children if so inclined. A woman, who takes nine months to bear a child, cannot even begin to populate, the world as fast. Another thing, many of the recipients of welfare are extremely large families where the father gets tired of supporting his prog eny and leaves them for. the mother to care for and skips out, or is depending on . wel fare himself, while he is still left free to create more such problems. I believe steriliza tion for the man is better sense and more necessary than for the woman. For her it is a major operation, where in she could lose her life, but for the man it is a simple op eration which would do him no harm. Farmers sterilize their male stock they do not wish to use for breeding pur poses. Why not sterilize the man when he abuses privi leges? Since our nation is becom ing so overstocked in popula tion, that seems to me the. Sidewalk Busy in Capitol Area; By DICK WEST Washington-TOPD-There is so much sidewalk superintend enting to take care of around the Capitol these days it's a wonder Congress gets any legislat ing done. I find that superint end ing the new paint j o b on the Capitol dome is about Dick West all that I- can handle. This means I have to neglect the work on the new east front, Mr. K En Route Home; Journey Falls Short of All His Goals By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor So viet Premier Nikita Khru shchev began beating back homeward this week from his Southeast Asia tour which had netted some propaganda successes but whose overall achievements had fallen short o f the goals. His success es had come in the field Phil Newsom o i disarma ment and world peace where in he was hailed as a leader both in India and Indonesia. The campaign to ease world tensions hits an especially re sponsive chord in Southeast only safe and sure way to stop that, as well as rape, murder and what not. If men knew the penalty for murder, rape, and what not goes with it, it would stop it quicker than capital punishment, for those kind of men would rather die than to have it done to them. Mrs. Ivan S. Hatfield Route 2, Box 200C Central Point, Ore. Literary Commemoration To the Editor: Governor Hatfield's statesmanlike con sideration of sterilizing un married mothers to reduce taxes deserves some sort of literary commemoration. This epic may be chanted to a bongo drum accompaniment, or in case of need, one may bang a slop bucket : with a long-handled broom. Unwed mothers in the operating room, Chloroform them fast, and sterilize them soon, Stretch them on the table Fast as you are able, Sweep them from relief rolls with the governor's broom. Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom lay, boom, Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom lay, boom' Then I saw the budget Turn from red to black, Severed from the welfare With a mighty whack! Then I saw the governor Reigning o'er a band Of eviscerated women In a taxpayer's wonderland. Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom- ; lay, boom, Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom . lay, boom! ... George W. Rode, . Fluhrer Building, Medford. Contaminated Seas To the Editor: In one of her recent communications . on natural foods, Anna Streed mentions sea foods as prob ably the purest remaining source of protein. This un doubtedly was true in a less complicated period of human history, but, unfortunately, it is no longer valid for the nu clear age in which we live. In discussing radio-active tuna which created such panic in the fish markets of Japan following U. S. bomb tests in the South Pacific, Dr. Ralph Lapp, American neuclear physicist, tells in his book, 'The Voyage of the Lucky Dragon," of the appointment of a Japanese government commission to make a study of the source and extent of the contamination of this im portant food fish. The Japanese marine Biol ogists composing this com mission discovered that of all life forms existing in the ocean, the plankton, those minute organisms upon which larger marine creatures de pend, directly or indirectly, for continued existence, have the greatest capacity for ab- sorbing . radio - active sub stances. . Inasmuch as such substances as . Strontium 90 continue to be a menace to human life for generations, and since the plankton rendered radio active by our South Pacific bomb testing program 'have continued to be freely carried about by ocean currents, it seems most unlikely that any one now living can state how ' far contamination of sea foods Superintending Keeps Writer the new Senate subway ter minal and the new House office building. The paint job is scheduled to be completed sometime this month and then I can devote more attention to the other projects. I can only hope that they won't be botched up too badly in the meantime. Most sidewalk superinten dents, as you know, superin tend by peering down into ex cavations through knotholes. Once the construction reaches eye-level, they lose interest. Challenge Without Knotholes This is why the Capitol dome paint job has been such Asia, with the technicalities of achieveing it frequently ig nored. But any hopes he might have had that his hosts would enter with him into a joint at tack on Western "imperial ism" conspicuously were dashed in the final commun- from this source now extends. Conceivably some study of the matter may have been undertaken by U. S. scientists. If so, their findings must now be filed in a drawer marked "Top Secret," for certainly nothing is known about them by the average American cit izen. Grace N. Pearson, Route 2, Box 50, Jacksonville, Ore. Who'll Watch? To the Editor: The follow ing poem (?) was written at the suggestion of a lady at a potluck dinner. Shapes "If you don't watch your ' shape, nobody will." So sings the milk man on his morning rounds. But you don't mind. You just say, "Creamed potatoes, please, and apple pie, And cake and another choco late bar." If you don't watch, Oh that's his way Of selling goods. . And so you go on adding pounds, Until the scales tell you one day That you have gone too far, "If you don't watch, nobody will My eye. They won't whistle gaily as you waddle by, But you won't hear the snide remark, "Get a Volkswagen, it's easier to park." If you don't watch, don't let him kid you now. If you dont wa-ch your shape, EVERYBODY WILL A-N-D H-O-W!! L. G. Weaver 301 Haven st. Medford Take the Pledge To the Editor; "If history has taught us anything it has taught us that is hasn't taught us anything." This is the basic reality when we squarely face the temperance issue in our world today. Broken homes, shat tered hopes, and disillusioned people are groping, yes, stag gering along life's way as a result of failing to profit by our forefather's mistakes of intemperance. Oh, why, don't we profit from other people's mistakes of imbibing and smoking? These thoughts came into the minds of two of my friends recently as they visit ed an alcoholic's hovel in a cheap hotel in a neighboring state. A thick-tongued woman of 50-some-odd years, a true product of the brewers art, was fit to be tied, yet still grasping in her hands that vile stuff which lowered her mental capacity to the level of an animal. "Call the judge," she would say in one breath. "No, I don't want him," with the next. "Pray for me," she would say in the next, then in the mid dle of the prayer would con vulse into hilarious rage. When- asked if she had any relatives she declined to give any information, fearing to have the relatives find her as such. One could well understand why she didn't want to see them. Her condition was far from the exalted image of her Creator in which she was made. . Every individual wh o claims to be a wide-awake citizen should sign the temp erance pledge and become a member of the American Temperance Society. For our sake, for our children s sake, for mankind's sake and for Christ's, let us all preserve the dignity of true manhood and womanhood by uniting behind the cause of true temperance. The writer will be happy to give you free information on how you can have a part. Henry Johnson Jr. (Phone MU 2-9781) - 2400 Highway 66 Ashland, Ore. Neck, Feet a challenge. It requires the superintendent to look up all the time. Moreover, this must be done out in the open with' out the aid of knotholes. Some less dedicated super intendents might have given up long ago, but I am deter mined to see the job through to completion. When the great cast iron dome was assembled 97 years ago, it was painted an eggshell white to match the building's marble walls. With the passage of time, the marble got dirty and the dome had to be painted a corresponding greyish tone. iques which acknowledged Soviet economic aid but whose stress was upon neutrality. Emphasises Grant In India the final commun ique "called attention to the $375 million credit granted to India by the Soviet Union last summer and said agreement had been reached on its use in "major projects." In Ineonesla, Khrushchev signed an agreement to sup ply Indonesia with a $250 million credit, bringing the total such since 1956 to $368 million. The final statement stressed Indonesia's continuing neu trality. In Jakarta, it was re ported the Indonesians had refused to include a renewed call for the seating of Red China in the United Nations and also had refused to con demn Western overseas mili tary bases on the new U.S. defensive alliance with Ja pan. . . ' , . '. There were a number of reasons why - Khrushchev's drum-beating attacks on the West failed to have their de sired effect. . . One is that U.S. foreign aid program has continued long enough to convince Asians of the United States' good in tent. This attitude was cemented further by President Eisen hower's December visit to Asia. A second one is thai Asians are beginning to realize that U.S. aid has far outstripped anything done thus far by the Soviet Union. There is in Asia the addi tional -realization that the Soviets frequently drive a harder bargain than does the U.S. In both India and Indo nesia, the Soviet grants are to be repaid in 12 years at an interest rate of 2 per cent. But it is usual for the Soviets to demand payments in goods or convertible cur rency. The latter condition frequently is a difficult one for the nations involved to meet. Russians Said To Have Atomic Subs Washington - (DPD - Russia is believed in informed circles to have a small number of atomic submarines ; now in operation. The Kremlin has never an nounced that it has a nuclear powered sub, presumably be cause it wants to build up the Soviet fleet to a more im pressive size. American experts who were given a tour of the Russian nuclear ice breaker last year reported that the power plant could be adapted to sub marines. ' Reliable sources said Rus sia also has given Red China j a number of conventional sub marines. In addition, the Red Chinese have begun building their own subs, apparently on a small scale. 25th ANNIVERSARY . In observing this 25th year of service to this community, we', wish to repeat below a pledge first made 25 years ago. This pledge has been repeated in print each year since tb,,!. We regard it as a sacred obligation. "Always to serve our clients as their needs require and their wishes dictate; to put service before price; quality before profit. To be guides and counselors to those we serve, seeking always to act in their best interests. To be honorable and fair in : all . our dealings and never to violate what once we have promised."

This hasn't been easy. Chip, Chip. Chip To begin with, we had to chip off 25 coats of old paint," each coat consisting of about 2,500 gallons. If you've ever tried to refinish a piece of lawn furniture, you can imag ine what a job that was. First we found that the iron dome would begin to rust al most as soon as the old paint was removed. They solved that problem by scraping off small areas and quickly cov ering them with a coat of anti- rust compound. Then we discovered that every time we cleaned off a: space a gang of dirty birds would come along and nullify our efforts. We solved that by. draping a huge net over their roosting place. Things are going smoothly now although the dome at the moment is tri - colored, like brick ice cream one layer of vanillE, one layer of rasp berry and one layer of almond toffee. These are the shades of the paints being used as under coats. Soon we will have it all white again, for which I'll be thankful. One more job like this and I'd not only have the sidewalk superintendent's oc cupational disease - fallen arches - but I'd have a stiff neck as well.
