(The "vocal" opposition to the creation of
the seashore, incidentally, boils down to one man
and a few followers, if what we have heard from

No memorial could be more fitting in honor

true, at least in part, that he gave his life for it
and what it represents. E.A.

field of flying saucers."
They re so elusive.
And, unless one is favored with the tip of a
space-helmet and the offer of a ride from a little
green man, "original" research, as opposed to
just asking other people what they saw, would be
sort of difficult.
This, however, doesn't faze the people and
organizations that make almost a cult of flying
saucers and, more important, perhaps, of the
superior extra-terrestial
operate them.
DVERYTHING is grist for their research mills.
Mysterious happenings as told in the Bible
and other ancient writings are interpreted as
early-day visits by space ships and their super
race operators.
And from there on
UFO sighting, no object-falling-from-the-sky re
port, no mysterious lights, no unexplained phe
nomenon, is shrugged off.
All are entered in the lexicon of the cult as
"evidence."
THE OTHER kind of research consists of inter-
viewing people of today who have seen mysti
fying things. -
These range from lights in the night to personally-conducted
visits to outer space as the
guests of the other-worlders.
(One man insisted that the latter wore busi
ness suits and neckties. A truly superior race
would have gotten rid. of business suits and neck
ties a long time ago.) "
It seems to be a characteristic of this kind
of research that the account of the eye-witness
is taken at face value, and set down as unchal
lengeable gospel.
QNE HESITATES to ridicule the beliefs of
anyone, so long as they are sincerely and
honestly held. .
But the "evidence" supporting the existence
of extra-terrestial space ships visiting the earth
under the command of far-advanced beings
(business suits or not) is somewhat less than con
vincing. We are told, by reputable scientists ' who
should know, that there are billions of 'sun-systems
in the universe which may well be the site
of intelligent races.
We are told,' by reputable theologians who
should know, that there is no reason to assume
that the human race is a "chosen" one, alone
as intelligent beings in all the vastness of crea
tion. DO NOT reject "flying saucers" as im
" possible, only as improbable.
We do so rather sadly, for it tickles our fancy
to think of benevolent outworlders of great su
periority gazing down upon us from the reaches
of space. . -
But until the day when we, personally, are
invited to inspect an other-world vehicle, and
perhaps take a quick jaunt around the moon, we
shall remain a doubting skeptic.
Until that day we shall be forced to reeard

are convinced that Lemurians sail their ships in

Lord's Word Needed
To the Edior: "There ap
peared . a ' very interesting
poem in the March 9 Tribune
entitled "Signs of the Times."
Mrs. Name on File with
"J. A. M." initials evidently
was quite impressed with
whatever campaign she has
referred to. The title of her
letter gives a bit of free pub
licity to a well known, world
wide prophetic magazine.
She mentions that this
preacher's "soul was warped
and thin," "he never made a
convert."
How I agree with you,
J.A.M. Aren't all our souls
warped and thin? We've
strayed a long way from
Cod's original plan for us.
These warped and twisted
lives of ours can be renewed
by an all-wise Heavenly Fa
ther. How He longs to help
every' one. , ....
No, we can never win a
single convert ourselves to
God. It is God's holy spirit
that wins" hearts.'1 Ministers
are only messenger boys, as it
were, bringing a- message
from God's word to . human
hearts. .
When God sends to men
warnings so important that
they are represented as pro
claimed by holy angels flying
in the midst of heaven, He re
quires every person endowed
with reasoning powers to
heed the message. The fearful
judgments denounced against
the worship of the beast, and
his image should lead all to a
diligent study of the prophe
cies to learn what the mark of
the beast is and how they are
to avoid receiving it.
But the masses of the peo
ple turn away their ears from
hearing the truth and are
turned to fables, the apostle
Paul declared, looking down
to the last days, "the time
will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine." (2
Tim: 4:3). That time has fully
come. The multitudes do not
want Bible truth, because it
interferes with the desires of
the sinful, world-loving heart;
and Satan supplies the decep
tions which they love.
The opinions of learned
men, the deductions of .sci
ence, the creeds or decisions
of ecclesiastical councils, as
numerous and discordant as
are the churches which they
represent, the voice of the ma-jority-not
one or all of these
should be regarded as evi
dence for or against any
point of religious faith. Before
accepting any doctrine or pre
cept, we should demand a
plain "thus saith the Lord" in
its support.

Early Birds, etc.
To the Editor: This is near

green sprouts push their tips
above ground, long side a
plumb night crawler that
proves to be the early worm.
Pretty combination of col
ors, don't you think? That
tender, fresh greenness and
the rich pinkish-tan of the
fishworm that is just the
shade a lady's lipstick should
be, but isn't.

fishing tackle tumbled outta

We did admire that green
stem for a day, but forgot to
drive a stick beside it,' so stray
dogs and cats soon brought it
to disaster.

He was outside of every other
baby . chick in our area. He
disappeared just like the
early angleworm did, I pre
sume because of some eagle
eyed early poultryman. One
cannot very well place a col
lar on kitty because he will
climb, get hung by his neck
and die. Oh yes, we do have
another: a kitten was dropped,
we fed it and we got adopted.
We have some dogs, also.
They are behind a fence right
by our back door where we
can talk to each other.
A person who loves animals
can walk a dog for his health,
and get healthfully exercised

"Laughable" Logic
To the Editor: Governor
Hatfield's logic is laughable
when he argues that appoint
ment of Maurine Neuberger
would have been unfair to
her candidacy for election to
Dick's Senate seat.
According to press reports,
the Governor is quoted as
saying that several candidates
do not now "have any advan
tage by being here on the
scene to campaign while she
would be 3,000 miles away.
This makes both the primary
and general election campaign
a 'fair play' affair with no ad
vantages to either side."
How ridiculous can the
Governor be? It is a foregone
conclusion that Maurine will
win the Democratic nomina
tion. Congress will be ad
journed during the general
election campaign and Maur
ine would be in Oregon, just
as every other U. S. Senator
up for election would 'be in
his state, waging a vigorous
campaign.
. Fair play is indeed an issue.
But the fair play involved the
people of Oregon, not the var
ious candidates for U. S. Sen
ate. Maurine's background
compelled her appointment.
She is the only person who
can effectively represent Ore
gon and the nation during
the current session of Con
gress. And as even the Gov
ernor has admitted, many im
portant issues of vital con
cern to the people of Oregon
wiU be acted on during this
session. Given this admission
on his part, how could he ap
point anyone other than Mau
rine? '

leader of his party when he
says that such a serious thing
as a voter registration drive
is just a peanut-throwing con
test.
The original challenge to"
process more registration

not one single Republican
volunteer is registering in any
market in the Jackson county
area.

of registrars in business hous

Magdalenes and Pharisees
To the Editor: In the past
few weeks I have read many
letter in "Our Column" con
cerning various subjects,
mainly people and dogs. Some
have been words of praise,
many critical and some almost
insulting. But, as far as I
can see, none has put the fin
ger on the core of the prob
lem. Lopping off ears or fingers
or some other part of the an
atomy of the offender may
be a way of preventing the
individual from repeating
that particular offense and
salving the conscience of just
ice, but it does not remove
the cause of the trouble.
We should face the fact
that we are all a part of what
we may call the social entity.
Each one has a part to play
in the theater of life and none
is completely 'independent of
the others. Tennyson's Ulys
ses says, "I am a part of all
that I have met." The reverse
is just as true. I give a part
of myself to all I meet.
We who compose the com
munity, state, nation or world
are in part responsible for the
condition, good or ill, of all,
That is the core of the prob
lem. In the Book we read in
Genesis 4:7, "Sin lieth at the
door. Also in Psalms 14 and
Romans 3, "All have sinned."
If we would have a com
munity free of immorality,
whatever the form it may
take, we must have a new
conception of the meaning of
civic righteousness, a resurg
ence of moral values that will
enable each one to realize
that he is his brother's keep
er. Would the criminal that
was acquitted have been con
victed if good people were
not averse to serving on a
jury?- ,,- .
Now, don't get excited, I
am not pleading innocent so
that I may throw stones at
someone else. Rather, I ask
myself wherein have I failed
to do my part?
If each one of us, great or
small, will purge out the self
ishness and sin from our own
heart, we will go a long way
toward solving the problems
of dogs and people, Magdal
enes and Pharisees.
Magdalenes
The World has many
Magdalenes forlorn,
Daughters of Eve, whose
beauty is their doom.
But we must not forget it
was a Magdalene,
Saved and purified, who
first looked ' into the
empty tomb;
Who saw and heard the
glorious risen King
On that resurrection morn.
Yes, the world has many
Magdalenes,
Wayward children of selfish,
sinful men.
But ere I stoop to hurl a
stone,
Let me read the writing in
. the dust again,
Lest among those names, I
read my very own.

Blood Appeal
To the Editor, ana my gooa
fellow-citizens:
This is an appeal to you,
please turn out at the next
Bloodmobile visit, or request,
or go to the hospital and give
blood.
I just returned from Port
land. While there I visited
the University of Oregon hos
pital. Because of the lack of
blood they sometimes have
to nostDone operations a week
or 10 days, sometimes more.
Would you like to be one of
these people, or a relative or
friend?
God cave his Son Jesus
Christ, who died on the cross
of Calvary, shed his blood for
us that we may have eternal
life, regardless of color or
creed. Do you want these poor
people to lie, maybe to suffer,
because of the lack of blood?
You give a pint, God gave His
all.
What would happen if we
had a disaster here? People
would die before there was
time to get someone to give
blood. Believe me, this is a
time of need. I hadn t given
for over 10 years, but if I
can, I am going to give more
often now.

MODERATE CAMPAIGN
Washington The coming
final victory for the middle-
roader on civil rights all but
proves that the
presidenti a 1
campaign will
be more near
ly one of talk-
ing things
out than o f
screaming out
things.
"M o d e r a-
wbite way been de
spised by those who believe
it is somehow evil on hot is
sues to take any position hav
ing any practical chance of
producing action instead of
fine rhetoric. They have never
grasped that all politics is
compromise and that to give
a little ground is not to aban
don all "principle."
The extremists really reck
on that no public man is any
good unless he is constantly
shouting the total Tightness of
his own views. Not all the
massive evidence of five con
secutive national elections -two
for the presidency and
three for congress - had been
enough to convince them that
their notion has no substance
in fact.
. .
BUT even they will now be
compelled to recognize
that moderation has tri
umphed all over the scene of
political reality, if not in the
angry dream world in which
they live.
The life of the moderate,
whether as politician or cora
mentator, is not an easy one.
All violent partisans, Repub
lican or Democratic, detest
the moderate. One of the
changeless laws of politics is
that no matter how much the
right-winger dislikes the left
winger, and vice versa, the
special dislike of both is re
served for the man who re
fuses to pay overmuch atten
tion to either.
Permit a personal reference.
This correspondent for years
has been trying to report the
central fact of political life
that for these years has been
evident - the steadily grow
ing strength of the middle
way. He has thus had his small
share of the slings and arrows
from the ultra -righteous
among both lots of extremists.
Therefore, this column has an
admitted touch of "I-told-you-
so."

soon as the Weather Bureau
mentions the word. The fact
that the forecast is often
wrong brings no comfort but
rather makes everyone more
jittery.
People gather in little clus
ters to watch the darkling
sky. If the sky starts flaking,
panic sets in. Even those who
came here from areas where
snow holds no terror are
gripped by the feeling of im
pending doom.
Downtown workers rush to
the telephone to call their
loved ones at home. Suburban
housewives call downtown
for anxious conferences with
their husbands.
Then everyone sits by a ra

the District of Columbia has
proclaimed a state of emer

district has three emergency
snow plans, any one of which
is sufficient to evacuate the
city.
Schools shut down; the
wheels of commerce, unless
equipped with snow tires,

The voting was only an
impression of confidence so
far as Rhee was concerned.
Death Gives Victory
For the second time in his
history as first and only presi
dent of the Korean republic,
death had presented him vic
tory by default.
Dr. Chough Pyung Ok, can
didate of the Demc;.atic Par
ty which forms the only effec
tive opposition to Rhee's Lib
eral Party, died in the United
States a month before the
March 15 elections. It was too
late to name another candi

It is doubtful that . South
Koreans can, and it is certain
that Rhee himself cannot,
imagine Korea with any other
president.
Rhee became a profession
al revolutionary in a cause
for free Korea at the age of
20, and for it underwent pris
on, torture and exile.
He has been called despotic,
inefficient, irresponsible, ruth
less, a man who demanded,
and got, his own way. But
S. WHITE
WHAT, then are the facts
now demonstrating the
general victory for political
moderation - which is to say,
for common sense?
Item. The inability of the
professional pro-civil rights
extremists, like Senators Paul
Douglas of Illinois and Jacob
Javits of New York, to pro
duce a single bare majority
at any significant juncture
against the moderates.
Item. The inability of the
professional anti-civil rights
extremists, like Senators
James Eastland of Mississippi
and Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina, to marshal at any
point any effective resistance
against reasonable protections
for Negro voting rights.
Item. The repeated refusal
of the coming Republican
presidential nominee, Vice-
President Nixon, to make or
to condone empurpled charges
against his Democratic oppo
sition. Earlier in his career
Nixon used such charges.
Some he now regrets. At all
events, the point is that the
whole national atmosphere
now makes such accusations
useless.
Item. The refusal of all ma
jor Democratic presiaenuai
aspirants - and not merely the
original moderate, Sen. Lyn
don B. Johnson of Texas - to
act toward Nixon as an enemy
of the Republic.
SENATOR JOHN F. KENNE
DY of Massachusetts, the
front-runner for the nomina
tion, has been quite as defin
ite in this sensible position as
has Johnson. Sen. Stuart Sy
mington of Missouri is edging
into that position. And even
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of
Minnesota, the one advanced
liberal among Democratic
presidential aspirants, is put
ting some check on those who
demand that he "get in there
and tear Nixon apart."
So, no f orseeable Democrat
ic nominee is going to open a
small civil war on the stump
against the Republicans. Nix
on will' not do anything of the
kind against the Democrats,
either. , The election will be
fought bn actually measurable
issues and decided by voters
able to think free of the ap
palling - and quite silly - din
that overly "principled" polit
ical immoderation would sure
