POLITICIAN'S HOLIDAY

years old today, said he ex
pected to celebrate by "listen
ing to speeches all day." ;
Election
An editorial in a recent issue of the Hi-Times,
the school newspaper at
titled "Circus Acts, Plays, Dominate Elections."
The editorial was
student body oiiices, whicn was conducted ree
ently. It quoted some
comments on the matter.
One said, in part:
"Recent days at MHS have seen campaign speeches
turned Into circus acts and one-act plays. Why was the
recent vote-getting activity switched to vaudeville?
. . . Some candidates have brought out noisemakers,
so-called authorities, and people dressed In costumes
of the opposite sex. It has been found that many of
these gimmicks take meaning from the candidate's
speech.
"The thought Is that the person running for office
should show his qualification. When a student is not
somewhat sincere, but instead displays many signs,
costumes, and made-up personalities, he could be con
sidered unfit for office.
"The voting of yesteryear was based upon sincere
speeches; speeches were for the candidate's benefit,
not for laughs."
NOW it may not be

school student body. The school probably could
survive a one-year term
candidate.
Nevertheless, student government is import
ant to the students, and even more significant, it
is excellent training in
in life.
But what the heck . .
when political campaigns waged bv adults are
not much better than
plays"?
Some candidates for
United btates, the most
tigeous office in the world, find it incumbent upon
themselves to engage in
acts and gimmicks in
(We wouldn't for a
being grand marshal of the rear .blossom parade
in this category. Or would we?)
IT IS, in fact, a screaming shame that the process
ofnaming a president cannot be conducted in
dignity, and with attention to the issues.
Coonskin caps, Indian war bonnets, cowboy
costumes, hand-shaking and baby-kissing all
these are part of our electioneering tradition, and,
in the long run, probably do no ham. Sometimes
they are even good for a laugh.
But,' conversely, they do no particular good
in the intensely serious matter of selecting the
best man for the toughest job in the world.
What applies to the Medford High school
elections applies, in spades, to the United States
presidential election. Lti.A.
Common Sense Ruling
A sensible decision by Circuit Judge James
W. Crawford of Multnomah county must have
been something of a relief to the Medford school
board.
Judge Crawford ruled,
ruled Attorney General
school boards have authority to pay for out-of-state
business trips for school administrators and
teachers.
Up until some months
question about such expense-paid trips, when
properly authorized, but the attorney general, at
the request of a Multnomah county tax group,
had ruled such trips illegal.
JUDGE Crawford, according to the Oregon
.Tm.rnol ctafarl fViaf '
W Ulli lilt) UbUVVrVt (IllUb
1. School districts have broad authority to
use reasonable discretion in promulgating rules
and regulations governing the educational pro
cess.
2. Specifically, districts have authority to
spend tax funds for out -
state travel for educational purposes, even though
existing law does not specifically authorize such
travel at public expenses.
THE Journal, quite properly, we think, hailed
the decision as one of
liberal interpretation" of
acterized the attorney general s opinion as legal
istic" in interpretation of the "narrowly written
statutes."
In Medford, the school board was convinced
that it had the authority to approve out-of-state
travel, aiid, while School Superintendent Leonard
Mayfield's trip to Russia was paid for from priv
ate funds, his attendance at an educational con
ference in the east was made possible by tax
funds.
In approving this, members of the board were
making themselves personally liable for these
expenses, had the attorney general's ruling been
upheld, and had an issue been raised.
A CTUALLY, it would be difficult to see how
"an efficient and progressive school district
could operate without authority to send its em
ployees to professional meetings, conferences, or,
on occasion, on teacher-recruiting trips.
Meetings of this type often "pay for them
selves" many times over in ideas gleaned and
contacts made. And in
professions, such seed-ideas, and programs for
professional improvement, are vastly important.

Communications
Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of
the writer, although under certain circumstances the use
of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible. The
Mail Tribune reserves the right to 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 ths contrary is often the case.
Editor's note: An increas
ing number of communica
tions which exceed the 400
word limit have been re
ceived in recent weeks. The
limitation cannot, in fair
ness, be waived for one
writer and enforced for
another, so except in un
usual circumstances it will
be observed. Letters in
excess of the limit will
either be returned for con
densation, or reduced in
length by the editorial staff.
Music Important, Too
To the Editor: There have
been two letters In your col
umn, dated April 13 and 17,
about the choir director of the
school I attend.
I am a member of two of
his choral groups, and he is,
indeed, an artist of the high
est order. And I'm sure that
most of his students will
agree.
When the question of dress
for an occasion arises, he asks
us what we want to wear, and
we wear what the majority
happens to choose. When a
member cannot provide his
own clothing, this gentleman
has secured the necessary ap
parel. ,
But something that has not
been brought out is the fact
that this gentleman has tried
for years to obtain choir robes
which would solve the prob
lem of dress, because the
clothes would be covered up.
This, however, has not met
with the approval of the
school board.
Our present school board
seems to be more inclined to
ward sports, with buses avail
able to various games. In
order for the choir to attend
concerts out of town, it is
necessary for the choir mem
bers themselves to contribute
funds for the rental of a bus.
It seems to me that musical
competition between schools
is just as important as sports
events.

Ode to the Applegaie
To the Editor:
A few days ago in the paper
I read an article about the
Applcgate and this it said.
"It's a wonderful place out
here to be" And with that my
friend we fully agree.
I'm afraid some of it was a
little over-done, but of course
we know it was meant in fun.
We have a beautiful valley
and the air is pure and we're
all well fed of that you can
be sure.
In every garage you'll find
a car or two but some I'm
afraid are not too new.
Our taxes are high Just like
the rest but of all the valleys
we like this one best.
In the winter time we have
little fog, in the Spring of
course we have no smog.
Our summers are busy, we
all work hard, In the fields
and the garden, Uie house and
yard.
Our meadows are green our
cattle fat, that s tme enough
we won't argue about that.
So we Invite you all we're
not a bit contrary' your article
was okay and we thank you

Brainwashing
To the Editor: Dr. Royal
Leo, D.D.S., writing In the
January Issue of Natural Food
and Farming describes an In
telligence test - to detect how
much you have been brain
washed. He says that today
Insidious propaganda is being
constantly fed to us by people
who profit by our failure to
rigidly screen information as
to Its truth and soundness.
Menace
AGAIN", BUT JyW Flfltl
I
Unless we are alert to the
process, we accept many palp
ably fictitious statements as
fact, and allow ourselves to be
swindled right and left, both
ss to our pocketbooks and as
to our very life, health, and
existence.
Here is a questionnaire that
will enable you to check on a
few facts that are commonly
misrepresented:
1. Is it true that we are the
world's best fed nation? If we
are why Is it that we list heart
disease as the major cause of
death, while it is rare in China
and India?
2. Is it true that the cause
of tooth decay has not yet
been discovered? By no
means. Dr. Plckerlll of New
Zealand in 1911 wrote a book
showing civilized refined
foods cause tooth decay, that
proper diet produced perfect
teeth. Dr. Weston Price, in his
book "Malnutrition and Physi-
c a I Degeneration, showed
how tooth decay is only pre
valent where refined foods
are used.
3. It is true that the cause
of arUiritis is unknown? The
fact is that arthritis can be
invariably caused in test ani
mals by only one method, by
feeding them cooked foods.
Test animals put on cooked
food die of arthritis after be
coming so crippled that they i
cannot even move around to
get food.
4. Is it true the cause of
cancer is unknown? Cancer is
caused by the use of the foods
common to civilization, for
cancer is unknown to peoples
isolated from civilization. Dr.
McCarrlson tolls cancer is un
known to the H u n z a s of
Northern India, where only
native foods are used. Dr.
Schweitzer tells us cancer was
unknown to the African native
when he first established his
missionary colony 40 years
ago. and was only found after
civilized foods followed him.
Dr. Rowntree of Philadelphia
showed In 1933 that stale
cereal oil could cause cancer
in test animals with a 100
per cent degree of certainty.

John F. Ken

The former

President seems to have a
throttle in either hand. He is
chief engineer of another stop
operation.
This one Is to prevent tne
nomination for President of
Adlai E. Stevenson. "He can't
win either," Is HST's word
for Stevenson. Truman did
not say directly of either Ken
nedy or Stevenson that they
could not win; did not say n,
that is. in lust those words.
What HST did say was the
Republican newspapers were
conniving to promote the
nomination of Kennedy or
Stevenson by the Democrats.
"But our party Is going to
nominate somebody who can
win," Truman told tag-along
newsmen on a recent early
morning hike in New York
City. Heretofore HST has in
sited that ANY Democrat

If I were afraid of being criti
cized, I would be afraid to
criticize. I just can't keep
quiet if I truly believe an in
justice is being done. I may
not always go about it in the
right way, but I go about it.
In the case of my "Concert
and Clothes" letter of the 13th
- the facts I had been given
by a nameless sophomore
were sworn to be absolute
truth. I believed It. It may
or may not be all or part true
I'll probably never know
for certain. The young lady
may have misu-.derstood or
misinterpreted. At least I'll
give her the benefit of the
doubt.
I never really believed for
one minute that any instructor
can lack confidence and face
group after group of resisting
students day after day and
educate them in spite of them
selves. They have to have
confidence and knowledge of
their subjects - not to mention
a goodly amount of good old
intestinal fortitude.
The Sunday edition of the
Mail Tribune carried a letter
directed to me by a Miss Fish
back. I did not mention the
name of any school, nor the
name of any Instructor. Why
jump to conclusions? There
are concerts all over the val
ley every spring and surely
more than one school will par
ticipate in the contest. One
can't help but wonder, does
the shoe fit; mcthinks she pro
testeth too much. I had the
one instance in mind and was
stepping on toes in general -we
aU know who said ouch.
Favoritism goes on all over,
why not in schools? Anyone
that thinks It doesn't, is in
dreamland. You would have
the underprivileged stay the
underprivileged, and only the
privileged few belong to the
choirs and other elective - but
educational - courses. The
three R's are essential, but
who wants to live by bread
alone? It's monotonous and
dull, if nothing else.
Why can't the dress be
kept simple enough so that
everyone who can sing can
feel free to participate? The
most beautiful music I ever
heard was sung by a group
wearing dignified black and
white - the same for every
appearance.
Why not give someone a
hand up - why can't we re
member to think "there, but
for the Grace of God, go I" -and
act accordingly toward
those loss fortunate than our
selves? Mrs. Doris L. Webster,

One of the local newspapers
estimated the Tidal Basin had
more blossom watchers than
blossoms. At any rate, it was
a lot of nature loving for such
a short period. The trees
weren't so much admired as
overwhelmed.
The blossoms are gone now
but the city is still swarming
with visitors. From a distance,
Capitol Hill looks like an ant
hill that has been seeded with
sugar lumps.
Travel Takes Longer
I have just completed a
round trip stroll from the
Capitol to the Health, Educa
tion and Welfare department,
during which I made an in
formal census.
Kennedy,
might develop which would
damage Symington's eligiblity
for the nomination before the
Democratic National Conven
tion convenes July 11 in Los
Angeles.
If such transpired, HST
would need another boy, and
it is not impossible that the
former President would re
verse himself on Kennedy and
promote the young man from
Massachusetts for the Dem
ocratic nomination. It is not
likely, however, that HST
would change his mind about
Stevenson.
Harry S. Truman is a po
litical feudist of character and
determination. He is endowed
liberally with an attribute of
character without which no
feudist can amount to much
anywhere. That attribute is
pride. Stevenson stabbed Tru
man in the pride in the 19S2
presidential campaign al
though HST more than any
other man was responsible for
Stevenson's nomination.
Brush Off By Adlai
What Stevenson did in 1952
was brush off HST after the
nomination and by-pass HST's
hand-picked chairman of the
Democratic National Com
mittee, Frank E. McKinney of
Indiana. Those things Steven
son did for sure.
It seemed to some others,
perhaps including HST, that
Stevenson delicately held his
nose as though offended by
foul stench whenever he was
reminded of President Tru
man or of the Truman Admin
istration. Stevenson withdrew as best
he could from any relation
ship with the Democratic
President. He mentioned once
that mess in Washington."
Truman's hurt is as severe as
when that incident occurred
almost eight years ago. The
second volume of Truman's
memoirs tells about the Tru
man Stevenson rift. It can
be summarized In a single
Truman sentence:
Stevenson's attitude
toward the President (Tru
man) he hoped to succeed was
a mystery to me for some

SALEM IS EMBARRASED
It's embarrassing.
For the second time in two
Miss Salem contests, the win
ner is an import.
The 1959 Miss Salem was
lovely, musically-gifted Thel-
ma Masserdotti, a Willam
ette University freshman from
California. Her successor,
Rosemary Doolen, is another
Willamette coed, from 250
miles south, Medford.
Oddly enough, Rosie was
the only non-native In the

no .quarrel with the judges'
choice, because she excelled
in poise, personality, charm
and, above all, talent, with a
fine operatic voice.
Miss America contest rules
declare that college students
must enter the local contest
where they live a majority of
the year. College towns thus
get a bonus of girls attending
schools away from home.
But Salem ought to be
ashamed. Surely in the State
Capital, with a metropolitan
population of nearly 75,000,
two huge high schools and
hundreds of single girls work

there are untapped combina;

Truman tried in 1956 to

Nonetheless, this week Cas
tro rather mildly suggested
that relations between the
two countries might be im
proved if he could talk per
sonally with Eisenhower or
Secretary of State Christian
Herter.
This suggests that both Cas
tro and the United States are
on the horns of a dilemma.
The United States is dis
turbed both by the Castro re
gime's economic policies, the
wide-scale seizure of proper
ties without compensation,
and by Communist infiltration
into the Cuban government.

The Organization of Amer
ican States, founded in 1948,
would be a natural instru
ment to bring hemispheric
pressure against Cuba, at the
same time relieving the Unit
ed States of any charge of in
tervention on Its own.
But in the south-of-the-bor-der
states there so far is no
enthusiasm for any such
move. One reason is that no
Latin American state is ready
yet to associate itself with the
U. S. in action against another
Latin American state.
The image of U.S. "big
stick" diplomacy still Is too
fresh. Another reason is that
Intervention on grounds of
Communist infiltration, con
ceivably could open the door
to action against other states.
