A "Slight" We Like
Oregon has been "slighted", as the : site for
expensive military installations.
Or so some maintain. This is the sort of slight
ing we don't particularly mind, however.
For instance, look at Camp Adair, a war
time training camp located in the Willamette
valley near Corvallis and Albany.
After the war it was abandoned, as was Camp
White. But with some political pressures, and an
active campaign, each later was converted to
another kind of activity. .
'
DART of Camp White became a Veterans Ad
ministration Domiciliary, and the rest was
turned over to private enterprise to furnish the
nucleus of an industrial manufacturing center.
' Camp Adair became the site for. a SAGE in
stallation (one" of the electronic components of
our aerial defense warning network), and later
for a Bomarc missile base.
. , Camp White now is a permanent installation,
good for many years. White City is a thriving in
dustrial area.
But Camp Adair's Bomarc missiles are being
phased out work will not be completed on
their launching pads, and the whole Willamette
valley will suffer thereby both in potential, and
through the psychological impact of withdrawn

Standard Operating Procedure for election years,
and the effect they will have on the overall out

problematical.
It is good to have a large percentage of the
electorate registered to vote, for it indicates a
widespread interest : in politics and government,
which is the business of everybody.
TO BE able to vote, one must make the minor
- effort to see he is registered, and if not, do so.
If an individual fails to display even that
amount of interest, there is a question in our mind
as to whether he is really qualified to cast an in

If a resident has to be browbeaten into reg

End of the Beard J
To the Editor: Anyway,
mine was among the very last
of the 1959 centennial beard
massacres, that left their vari
colored remains all the way
from the home backyard to
the barber-shop.
There was one exception to
the pay-as-you-mow-and-go. It
was when a prize winning
beard award was " presented
at the barber-shop, that had
guaranteed aU or any surplus
face-hair removal. The head
hair -trimmer perusing the
evening paper, seemed a bit
disgruntled over something or
other, taking a very dim view
of "What is this thing?" to
an assistant. Being assured of
its authenticity, "Aw, that's
too long ago, we can't fool
with the thing," and tossed
it back my way.
Being contused and em
barrassed over what had been
planned as a bit of jollity,
the 'thing' fluttered to the
floor, an Abraham Lincoln
style first prize beard award
at the 100 year of Oregon
statehood celebrated by a Cat
fish Derby at TouVelle Park
last June. So sorry that it
was not Kept irom oeing
swept with trash to the ever
hungry garbage can.'
Surging memory of the long
line of chairs filled with cus
tomers waiting for a two-bit
haircut and 15 cent shave,
some happily and guiltily
perusing -the Police Gazette,
much frowned on by do-
gooders; some ,'gettin' the key'
to a sawed-on shop-fiddle, and
others yarnin' and worryin'
concerning problems of the
day, gave me a sort of Kip
Van Winkle complex.
Not being able to afford
a hair-do in the modern bar
ber-shop, we backed out of
the unhappy situation and
groped our way through the
gathering dusk, thinking how
there is bound to be some
smaU gain in any great loss,
for it was the same tall un
gainly Lincoln so rebuffed,
rejected, denounced and gen
erally insulted that he re
marked one time that when
there was a lull in it, he felt
lonely and neglected like, giv
ing me at least a misery loves
company feelin'.
At the home of a good
friend we've neighbored lo
these many happy years, our
much enjoyed and blue-ribbon
winning beard feU away
with a fine hair-cut and eye
brow trim as the eye-surgeon
demanded, a sort of eye for
a beard. But thanks be, no
tooth included as the grim
old Mosaic law required, as
we have but a few left to help
in the pursuit of health and
happiness, to the hospital for
a brand new eye.

God's Creatures, Too
To the Editor: As a former
Medford resident, I am con
cerned about the proposed
dog leash law.
Friends-it simply does not
work! .
Gentle dogs become cross,
desperately unhappy, they
howl day and night. Invari
ably, the owners turn them
out at night; they have- to,
for no dog can endure -24
hours captivity, after having
been free. Try and . find
enough workers to stop them!
Tied in the sun, often with
out shade or. water, and cold
and wet in winter their suf
fering is " pitiful; teased by
children whose parents ; and
teachers have failed to teach
kindness, misery continues
endlessly. - -
Let's find some better way,
some, more humane way, for
these creatures belong to God.

To the Editor: "On Dec. 16,
1952, at the Jackson Hotel,
Medford, one Richard Smith,
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
secretary, and a companion,
treated all who came for the
much-advertised lecture on
Conservation of Natural Re
sources to whatever one
named in the semi-dark bar,
Smith remarked "we should
ask for . opinions now-all
would agree with us."
Later Mr. Smith delivered
his message to the seven-per
son audience. Few in Jackson
county seemed interested in
the. USCC lecture. Mr. Smith
named National Forests,
Parks, etc., which, by USCC
standards, should be turned
over to big private special
interests. Definite plans were
to flood America's .schools,
the public, with propaganda,
"to teach school children,
teachers, parents, the public
to believe our plan."';

Bible Interpretation
To the Editorr Edifh Rode's
Feb. 21st letter sent me think
ing. I appreciated . her en
deavor to - r e c oji c i 1 e oc
currences of Gen. .9 by offer
ing two possible : answers as
to Canaan's curse, incident to
Noah's drunkeness. As one. of
the local group,' of the Lay
men's Home Missionary
Movement, whose purpose is
to . encourage Bible study, I
began searching;. and, if I
may, I should like to present
the following findings.
First as to Noah's drunken
ness. There are many theories
concerning" Earth's creation
but the Vailian theory holds
more closely to the Bible.; It
assumes Saturn's rings, Jupi
ter's belts illustrate Earth's.
West Finds Armed Forces Give
From Capitalist Overproduction Theory
By DICK WEST
Washington (DPD I don't
know much more about Karl
Marx than the average
Russian
knows about
Groucho. But
one of his eco
nomic t h e o-
rJ ries seems to
have stuck in
my memory.
I recall
reading some
place that
Dick west Marx preaicr-
ed capitalism would eventu
ally fall of its own weight
by producing more than it
could consume.
Thoughts like this made
Marx nervous. So he locked
himself up in his study, told
his wife to keep the kids
quiet, then invented Commu
nism. The Marxian doctrine has
been pretty well picked to
pieces by now and I think
I have spotted still another
flaw in his theory. Marx fail
ed to reckon with U. S. arm
ed services.
I mean some of our war-
planet development; that wa
ter and mineral rings follow
ed each other in deluges upon
the Earth; that the Deluge
of Noah's day was the last
and was of pure water. The
Scriptures speak of it as a
flood. Prior to the flood, the
sun's rays penetrating the water-canopy
before striking the
Earth made conditions there
on like a hothouse. There
were no rains, floods, doughts,
thunderstorms, tornadoes, ex
tremes of hot and cold AND
no fermentation. So, when
Noah drank the vine's first
fruits after the flood, he, un
aware, of this change, natur
ally became intoxicated.
As to Canaan's curse, here
the word "curse", I would
suggest, is used in the penalty
sense as in the curse put upon
man and the Earth after
Adam's fall. Ham's conduct
toward Noah, related, in Gen.
9, was evidently disrespect
ful and unseeming, resulting
from a wrong heart attitude.
Thus when Noah stated,
"Cursed be Canaan; a servant
of servants shall he be . . .",
he seems, merely, to have
been prophesying the wrong
qualities displayed by Ham
would be inherited by Canaan
and later found cropping out
in the degeneracy marking
Canaan's posterity. As far as
the Ransom is concerned,
Noah's other two sons siend
in need just as does Ham.
I trust others will agree
the foregoing vindicates
Noah's character, honors
God's perfect attributes and
is compatible with Scripture,
reason.
It" is interesting that other
scientists claim Earth has still
another ring. electrical -which,
falling, will in a few
years destroy fermentation,
microbes and parasites, great
ly assist plant and animal
life. ". i . The heaven is my
throne ... the earth is my
footstool .,. ." ". . .1 will
make the place of my feet
glorious." Isa.66:l;60:13.

'Sticky Fingers'
To the Editor:' I enjoyed the
letter written by Mr. Acklin
about the little girl and her
interest in the stock market
A little boy in my Sunday
school class has a similar in
terest in airplanes.
JWe worked on a project
about six months ago, where
the children made small bee
hives, and every Sunday they
came, they tried to make an
airplane look as though it was
flying around the bee hive.
They had a terrible time
gluing the, airplanes together
as all :we had was plain glue,
instead of airplane glue, and
they would fall apart. All the
children except one boy start
ed another project. Every
Sunday he comes, looking for
one of those discarded air
planes to work on.
Last Sunday he came, still
determined to put one togeth
er. His fingers would have
more glue on them than the
airplane.. They would stick to
the airplane and I would have
to pull the airplane loose.
To end a long story, the air
plane has fallen apart again.
As the little boy was leav
ing the church, I said "Good
bye, Glen." He said, "Just caU
me sticky fingers."
I laughed. If he was an
adult and someone called him
that, he would be insulted.

Washington Report
By WILLIAM
A LITTLE CLARITY
Washington-The long, con
fused and many-headed race
for the Democratic presiden
tial nomina
tion a race
being largely
run from the
floor of the
U.S. Senate -is
at last tak
ing on some
touch of clar
ity here and
there.
William s. ,,
white Three sena
tors - John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts, Hubert H.
Humphrey of Minnesota and
Stuart Symington of Missouri
- are announced candidates,
now that Symington has made
his entry official. A fourth
senator, Lyndon B. Johnson
of Texas, remains highly
available but still not in open
competition. A fifth possi
bility outside the Senate, Ad-
lai E. Stevenson, is being
prodded hopefully by friends
"without his knowledge or
consent."
The situation is both assist
ing and endangering Demo
cratic chances for November.
On the credit side is the ris
ing public interest the Demo
crats are creating by their
free-for-all. The Republicans
are being lost in the spring
political Headlines. Xnere is
no suspense and thus no dra
ma in tneir position, rneir
nominee, but for the formali
ties, is already chosen-Richard
M. Nixon.
'..
AN THE debit side for the
Democrats is that their ri
valries are opening party
wounds and will open yet
more.
The race, however, has at
least evolved to the point
where some things may be
described as fairly plain:
1. Kennedy is increasingly
the man to beat. If he wins the
April 5 Wisconsin preferential
presidential primary against
Humphrey, the Kennedy
bandwagon win begin to roll
at hurtling speed. And Hum
phrey will be out of it.
2. Johnson is now moving
up and so reducing Kennedy's
commanding lead-slowly and
somewhat. The Texan's bril
liant victories in the Senate
for a strong civil rights vote
protection bUl have blunted
the most damaging old com
plaint against him. This was
his southern geography.
3. Symington's decision to
get openly - but liot riskily
into -the race has been pre
sented as dictated by worry
that . Kennedy , was getting
much too far ahead. This,
however, is too simple an in
terpretation. .
THE j operative factor for
Symington was Nmore iiear-
lyfear of Johnson than of
Kennedy. For Johnson and
Symington are : by- .circum

single-use items, to be thrown
away the first time the switch
failed to work instantly."
You can see how this clashes
with the Marxian theory- By
throwing away flashlights aft
er using them once, we need
never worry about over-production.
Nor did Marx ever dream
that the Philadelphia Quar
termaster Depot could cut
752 items off of its shoe in
ventory and still have 339
different kinds of military
footwear left.
Saves On Paperwork
The report said the stock
could be further reduced at
a saving of $50,000 on paper
work alone "if the Marine
Corps can be persuaded to
abandon its requirement for
delayed action mines
and
bombs still on Soviet and
French territory."
The Soviet news agency
Tass, reporting Khrushchev's
first day in Paris, made point
ed reference to the "Nazi
butchers" who killed resist
ance fighters.
Before a French-Soviet
friendship group he accused
West German Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer of trying to
upset the results of World
War II.
If the French had hoped by
jam-packing Khrushchev's of-
S. WHITE
stances far more natural rivals
than are Symington and Ken
nedy. Both Johnson and Sy
mington had been following
a policy of standing back and
lettmg Kennedy and Hum
phrey cut each other up.
Both are still doing exacUy
the same. Neither ever had
much chance except as a com
promise nominee. So each
must fill his cup out of more
or less the same barrel at the
convention.
Symington is the second
choice of very many and the
first choice of rather few
Johnson is the second choice
of far fewer than is Syming
ton but the first choice, of far
more than is Symington. Ken
nedy is strictly a first-choice
man; he is that or he is noth
ing. .
And where one of Johnson's
handicaps is the emotional
and automatic hostility of the
advanced liberals, Syming
ton's is the too-bland fact that
he is not hated at all-or much
iovea, eitner. bo, his imme
diate problem was to seek
more first - choice support
without disturbing the second-
choice support that is like ne
gotiable bonds in the bank
rpHUS, he has taken a step
-- just long enough to solicit
new first-choice support with
out losing any of that second
choice support. He has be
come an admitted candidate,
But he has not gone so far as
to enter any primary contest,
witn its inevitable conse
quence of making enemies.
At the moment he is prob
ably the third-most likely man
to succeed at the convention-
behind, first, Kennedy, and
second, Johnson. It would be
a mistake, however, to under
rate the value of his second
line backing. And it would be
mistake to under-estimate
the great skill of his old-pro
advisers.
