Nutrition and Arthrilit
To the Editor: Dr. H. E.
Kirschner, M.D., believes that
the actual cause of a huge
number of cases of Arthritis is
starvation for Vitamin C. 1
fcvery doctor who pre
scribes aspirin or any other
salicylate drugs for arthritis
is condemning his patients to
further troubles, i
The salicylate drugs com'
monly prescribed for arthritis
actually rob the human body
of enormous amounts of Vita
min C.
Thus we see the tragedy
of thousands of agonized suf
ferers hopefully taking sali
cylate drugs, and thereby
robbing their bodies still
further of the necessary Vita
min C needed to cure them, j
If you have arthritis, throw
out your salicylate drugs. In
stead of those drugs, include
large amounts of these foods
in your daily diet: oranges,
lemons, tomatoes, pineapples,
green peppers. They are the
richest food sources of Vita
min C.
Citrus fruits (oranges, lem
ons), although extremely rich
in the needed Vitamin C, will
combine with calcium and re
move some of this very im
portant mineral from the sys
tem. So extra precautions to
keep well supplied with cal
cium must be taken when
large quantities of citrus
fruits are eaten.
Remember those important
facts concerning arthritis, and
apply them.
And finally don't forget
that smoking is one of Vita
min C's worst enemies. Dr.
W. J. McCormick of Toronto,
Canada, has shown in tests
that one cigarette cancels out
25 milligrams of Vitamin C
from the blood stream-about
the amount you would get in
an average orange.

A Challenge
To the Editor: First, thank
you for your policy of respect
ing the individual. Though I
seldom write, I still apprect
ate the column, as I'm sure
many more do, including Mr.
J. P. Wlrth, who is the reason
(along with any more who
may feel like he does) for
writing this.
This is not to call him
names or any attempt to beat
him down in any way, but,
being a Christian, I must in
sist that I'm as sincere in my
belief as he is in his.
Mr. Wirth, I wonder if you
realize the seriousness of the
step you have just taken?
There can be no turning back,
because you have climbed
out on a limb, so to speak.
Henceforth, you can know no
real peace until you find out
for sure. How do I know this?
You have shown by your let
ter, you have a questioning
mind. And questioning minds
are never happy without an
swers to the questions they
ask.
"So what?", you say.
So this, my friend. I would
give you a challenge-not be
tween you and me, for neither
could convince the other.
Rather, I challenge you to
begin a new hobby. I think
you have courage, or you
would never have written in.
You will need it!
Here it is:
Start reading the Bible and
doing research on the side to
prove what you are reading
is untrue! (Remember-opin-
ions will not do, since you
are biased.) Get proof that is
above question. A hint: Ar
chaeological findings in the
last hundred years, or the
calculations and findings of
astronomers. The public li
brary would be a starting
place.

On Chessman Case
To the Editor: Since the
Chessman execution has
caused some comment in your
communications column, I felt
that I should say a few words
on the subject.
Under California law it was
the governor's duty to see
thai the Chessman execution
was carried out, as that was
the penalty given him on his
conviction.
The governor could not
- nmripvp as under
article 7, section 1 of the Cali
fornia State Constitution ne.
ther the governor nor the
legislature shall have Ver
to grant pardons, reprieve or
commutation of sentence in
ny case where the convict
has been twice convicted of
felony, unless upon written
recommendation of a majority
of the judges of the Supreme
Court.
As for the Supreme Court,
it would have to establish a
reasonable doubt as to Chess
man's conviction. For valid
convictions that will hold up
in the courts, the accused
would have to be proven
guilty beyond a reasonable
uuubt, pnd in Chessman's case
in 11 vears of Ipgai ...-.r?ii
in the courts, he failed to
prove a reasonable doubt as
to his conviction.
The governor was right in
his refusal to grant a reprieve
and the Supreme Court made
its decision.
However, I am against capi
tal punishment for one good
reason. The trial courts can
make a mistake and sentence
an innocent man to his death,
in which case the damage
could not be undone.
In place of capital punish
ment I would fix the punish
ment for capital offenses at
life imprisonment without pa-
roie.
The people of California,
Oregon or any state that has
the death penalty in force,
can abolish it at the voting
polls. I have little regard for
outcries of sentiment based on
ignorance of the laws, as this
question is in the hands of
the people, not the govern
ment. This issue was placed on
the Oregon ballot last election
and it was defeated. So the
matter of capital punishment
is the responsibility of uie
people.

Beautiful May,

Coming around.

Box Scores and Chessman
To the Editor: Would it be
possible for you to find room
in your paper to print the box
scores of the two Major
and Coast League?
There are so many of us Base
ball (bats) Fans that line w
follow individual players and
cannot do so without a box
score.
Iii answer to Mr. 'Floyd Mc
Cabe'i letter in regard to
Caryl Chessman. He was not
murdered. Caryl Chessman
committed suicide. There nev.
er was a criminal wnu
any more chance iu
straight than Chessman, but,
he broke every law there was
to break.
Regardless of what nappen
ed to him he could never pay
for one crime he committed,
the raping of a 17-year-o d
girl, who is still hopelessly
insane, and must continue to
live5 out her years in that con
dition.'' . . .

Editor's note: Any others
want box scores? We'd have
to make special arrangements
to obtain Zthem, and because
of llmiUnJ space, something
.else would (tv to fx TeR
out. But if enough interust if
shown, we ll look into it.
Waal'e Tke Mount
To the Editor: This re
ligious controversy seems ri
diculous. I'm not e Catholic, but the
Catholic church does believe
in Jesus Christ; the Virgin
birth; and the Bible; and, Usui
the Lord's prayer, end some
doing that well.
America talks about athe
istic Russia, and that Russian
children are kept from re
ligious services. Yet one
atheist woman was respon-
q i i. 1 f ir mmnnlnrt f wintitra
reading and prayer from our
schools.
Louis Cassels in the Friday,
April 22, Mail Tribune, said
that in some communities
even reading a Psalm at open
ing exercise of school brought
sharp protests from some
parents.
What's the matter with
America? '
Our government . found
ed on the Bible and prayer.
Our congress is opened by
prayer, and has a chaplain.
Our armed forces, have chap
lains and religious services.
Why not our schools? If our
children are not taught a be
lief in God, how much better
are we than Russia?
No wonder we have so
many delinquent teen-agers.
Edgar Hoover says most of
the crime by teen-agers comes
from those who do not attend
Sunday school regularly.

Freedom of Speech
To the Editor: It is great
to live. It is great to live in
America. It is great to live in
Oregon in Jackson county. I
like the Upper Rogue.
It is good to live even in
concentration camp. Japa
nese who had become Chris
tians demonstrated it right
here in Oregon during World
War II.
I am glad the editors in
our America like yourself
have always lived and died
for individual liberty and Jus
tice and freedom of speech.
I have been much surer of
your own attitude since I
started writing to the editor
myself.
Mr. Reece, 1 would like to
ask, was your letter publish
ed the day you expected it
to be? My own letters have
been published promptly and
all the others I know about
have had the same treatment.
E. A. aidently advocated
approval of the budget for
school district 54f)C, yet he
published skillfully written
letters that he knew would
likely lead to its rejection.
To a Communist it is silly.
To the Christian It is funda
mental individual freedom,
worth dying for.

Bible's Proof
To the Editor: Mr. Wirth's
article was very interesting.
For 20 years I believed the
same. Millions were being
slaughtered in World War I.
I turned to the Bible to learn
why. I learned, prophecy and
common sense was my an
swer. Prophecy written hundreds
of years ago has been and is
being fulfilled to the letter.
The Bible tells what is com
ing, why, and when, the day
and hour is . not revealed.
Micah .(5:2) J foretold that
Jesus would be born in Beth
lehem; Joseph and Mary lived
in Nazareth a week's journey
from Bethlehem. The decree
of the emperor of Rome
forced them to go to Bethle
hem to enroll, as we read
in Luke 2:1-7, while there
Jesus was born, fulfilling
prophecy written over 700
years before. Zechariah (9:9)
said Jesus would ride into
Jerusalem on an ass, with its
colt following; 548 years later
this was fulfilled, as we read
in Matthew 21:1-11. Psalm
41:9 said Christ would be be
trayed by one of His disciples;
over 1,000 years later, this
was fulfilled, as we read in
Matti?w 26:23-25. The words
Christ would say upon the
cross were pointed out 1.000
years before in Psalm 11:1.
Read them in Matthew 27:46.
There are hundreds of such
prophecies in the old Testa
ment and their fulfillment in
the New. Look at science,
"God hangeth the earth upon
nothing" (Job. 26:7). Sound"
silly, man can't match this,
Copernicus was the first to
prove this fact, 3,000 years
after God .had made it known.
This earth with billions of
tons of water on its surface,
yrt none J.1 , . -H r-?-i't
be all on top of a ruund bail,
without God it doesn't make
sense. God maketh weight for
the winds (Job 28:25). Galileo
was the first to learn this
fact 3,150 years later. The
life of all flesh is the blood
(Lev. 17:14); William Harvey
was the first to learn this
fact 3,115 years later. The
clients shall melt with fer
vent heat (2' feier 5:10). To
day this is our greatest fear,
since our discovery of nuclear
fission.
God revealed these facts
hundreds of years dgo. Today
we know by expert :e they
are facts. They, with common
sense, prove theBIW!e to me,

Charge Is "Ridiculous"
To the Editor: As a Chap
lain who has been in U.S.
Government service for over
26 years, I find it amusing, if
not utterly ridiculous, to find
1 1 h e National Council of
Churches wrta.iaJ- s feeing j
infiltrated by "Communists."
Dorian Woods, of Prospect,
Ore., said in your columns on
May 2nd: "Evangelization on
military establishments is also
under the control of the Coun
cil." Thus, by the dubious
"guilt by association" tech
pique, military Chaplains are
"controlled" by a Communistic-infiltrated
Council of
Churches! How silly, indeed,
can you get?
In my own ministry as
Army Chaplain over a ten
year period I held and pnrtici
pated in a number of evan
gelistic missions on Army
posut. In r.ct ? svnale one of
them were the Chaplains
"under the control of the
Council." Chaplains of all de
nominations, including ultra
conservative groups, cooper
ated voluntarily in such ef
forts, and cordially welcomed
speakers from all types of
churches to assist them in
their missions.
Among the many Chaplains
with whom I served, in the
United States and overseas,
there were many who were
not affiliated in any way with
the National Council of
Churches, either by church or
denomination. Such a claim is
typical of the utterly false
and misleading propaganda
that is using the smear tech
nique to discredit cooperating
Christians of differing denom
inational affiliations who be
lieve in working together, in
stead of against each other.
Communism has found one
of its most eager allies, albeit
unknown to themselves, in
those who follow the lead of
a very small group of diS'
gruntled critics of cooperative
Christianity. Theirs is the mis
sion to disrupt and to divide
Christians, instead of foster
ing a "ministry of reconcilia
tion" among those who differ
from them.
This indeed Is the true ap
plication of the quoted state
ment of J. Edgar Hoover:
"Communists are able to se
cure ministers of the Gospel
to promote their evil work
Unwittingly or ignorantly,
this is what the critics of the
National Council of Churches
are doing in setting Christian
against Christian, thus ena-
i biine our kteatest enemy to
1 divide and conquer us.

Who's An Adult?
To the Editor: Recently
your paper carried a commun
ication from a Mr. Robert
Betschart of Medford. Mr.
Belschart indicated' his dis
pleasure concerning the show
ing of "adult" movies to 18
year old members of our so
ciety. He is under the im
pression that the 18 year old
is not an adult. I should like
to ask Mr. Betschart just ex
actly what an adult is? Is
such a term to be defined on
a chronological basis only?
The average movie pro
duced and shown in the
United States today is ficti
tious and unrealistic. The
American people are con
stantly subjected to this fan
tasy on life from, Hollywood.
As a result of this pushing of
these fairy-tales the average
young American is usually
quite unaware of life as it
actually is. He has no real con
cept of himself or the world
around him.
Isn't it possible that this en
vironment of unrealism is as
large a cause of what Mr.
Betschart calls "sexual and
mental aberrations" as any
adult" movie? This is a
point very rarely considered
by modern American Society.
I will agree with Mr. Bets
chart that there are a great
number of illicit publications
circulating in the country at
present. But wouldn't It be
wise to find the reasons under
lying such a trend rather than
attacking this trend directly?
A realistic outlook on the
subject of morals might effect
quite a change in the attitudes
oi some civic mkided ensors
certainly in the attitudes of
those who base their opinions
on iiieir ur small emotional
and sociological experience.
