Dogs and the City Club
The Portland City Club is a sober-sided organ
ization which meets periodically for lunch to hear
distinguished speakers. It also has a committee
system, which is assigned the chore of making
investigations of certain public questions, and
issuing reports.
Its reports and their conclusions cany consid
erable weight in Portland, for they are compre
hensive and factual, based on the best expert
opinion and advice obtainable.
The most recent committee report concerns
the problem of dog control, for Portland, in com
mon with other cities including Medford and
Rogue River, as well as
will vote on the question
THE committee report
1 any editor in the state
people are highly emotional about their pets,
possibly even more so than about their children."
The Journal's report
ings says, in part:
"It is hard to find validity in the statement that
dogs should be allowed to roam freely as that is their
nature. Such is also the nature of other animals, but
they don't enjoy any immunity on this point.
"It must be noted that the prepared ordinance has
many shortcomings. It will not satisfy those who are
interested in putting all dogs on leash when away from
the premises of their owner. However, we believe it
will improve the climate for dogs in Portland, and
will allay efforts for even greater restrictions.
"Some emotional individual referred to 'man's best
friend,' and stated this ordinance was poor reward for
such devotion. It would be more accurate to state,
'Man is dog's best friend.'
"We believe the proponents of this measure have
produced an ordinance which is fair, places no undue
burden on dogs and their owners, and protects the
majority who tolerate the pels of their friends and
neighbors."
MAYOR JOHN SNIDER, after his journeyings
T through the state to 22 meetings of city and
county officials, reported that dog control is one
of the most universal, and difficult, problems
facing Oregon s cities.
There is no reconciling the views of the dog
freedom and dog-restraint elements. It is simply
a case where the majority will have to rule, and
the minority accept it.
There was a time when we opposed any dog
control ordinance. But we have become con
vinced that, in a citys it has now become a neces
sity for the protection of lawns, gardens and
shrubs, to say nothing of children, and the safety
and well-being of the dogs themselves.
OO, COME May 20, we plan to vote for the dog
control proposal in the city of Medford.
As for the proposed
there are some good arguments against it, argu
ments which do not apply within a city.
On that particular question we plan to leave
the ballot blank, feeling
tate what their rural neighbors should do about
their dogs is not quite fair.

working partners, and a

United Fund Changes
A caller asked us the other day about the
Cancer Crusade, now under way, and about other
fund drives.
"Aren't these supposed to be part of the
United Medford Crusade?" she asked. "We
thought the UMC was supposed to take care of
all these things, with one donation covering every
thing." About the only answer we could make is that
it's a free country, that no one can force any
organization to join the UMC, and that all that
recipients of UMC funds do is promise not to
conduct separate drives.
TMIE agencies which still conduct their own
fund-raising campaigns do so, of course, be
cause they believe they can obtain more money
that way than through a United Fund.
And who is to say they are wrong?
The nrincinle or "united" giving is a good
one, in theory, but it does have its drawbacks
one of which is, there is no way of insuring that
the United Fund drive will actually eliminate a
number of competing fund campaigns.

Charleston, W. Va. - The

He may yet be

important Presidential pri

The fact that such an upset
is possible has to be inferred
from the results of one of
the longest, most Intensive
sessions of pavement-pounding
and doorbell-ringing this
reporter has ever attempted.
The total sample of ballots
from 184 registered voters
here In Charleston was sub
stantially more massive than
any sample previously col
lected in the city, by any of
the pollers who have lately
infested this state.
The new results were also
decidedly more favorable to
Kennedy than the previous
resuus omained in Charleston
by Lou Harris, the profession
al poller who works for the
Kennedy organization, and by
Alan L. Ottan, the astute
political analyst of the "Wall
Street Journal." The Harris
Sample, taken first, was also
the most closely divided. The
Otten sample showed 55 per
cent of the Charleston voters
choosing Kennedy.. In the lat
est sample, Kennedy's share
rose to 57V4 per cent of those
Democrats who had made up
their minds.
HTHE places polled were
-I- chosen by the Charleston
Mail's" able City Hall re
porter, Charlie Connor, who
also shared the work. The
largest individual samples
were taken in the 1st and 13th
Wards. These are "C and D

live in the small houses and

A smaller sample was also
taken, to see if corrections
were needed. In the more
middle income 17th Ward. It
showed little variation in the
pattern, which was consistent.
in summary, tne 184 per
sons polled broke down into
4 for Kennedy; 34 for Hum

cratic primary because they
were Republicans; and one

up their minds to vote for
Kennedy long ago, "if It
weren't for his religion."

they liked him, but also be

THE DETENTE
When the heads of govern

strictly European
question, which arises out of
the partition of Germany,
there is, as I have pointed
out in preceding articles, a
very large degree of tacit
agreement. The two Ger
manys are not to be reunited.
Moreover, what both sides
are seeking is a detente in
Europe, a relaxation of ten
sion, which accepts in sub
stance, though not in all the
formal details, the status quo.
This search for a detente
is inspired, of course, by the
realization that there is no
European question which can
now, within the existing bal
ance of power, be settled by
war or by the threat of war.
But the search for a detente
in Europe is Inspired also, and
in growing measure, by the
need to conserve energy and
attention and resources for
the mounting problems out
side of Europe-in Asia, Af
rica, and in this hemisphere.
None of the groat powers Is
great enough, is strong
enough and is rich enough, to
continue an intensified strug
gle for the mastery of Eu
rope and also to deal ade
quately with its own inter
ests outside ot Europe.
LET us consider the Soviet
Union. Mr. K. and his col
leagues may hope, they may
even believe, that all of Ger
many will become Commu
nist. But they know also
that they cannot use force to
impose Communism on West

lin Without precipitating the

in the West, must avoid.

pay our county officials a sal

What happened to the slo
gan, "Keep Oregon Clean," or
does that just include a few?
Does this just pertain to the

what we were complaining
about. A city dump would be

two factors remain which
make Kennedy's chance only
an off-chance.
On the one hand, the tide
of prejudice is still running
very heavily indeed, as the
results we got in urban
Charleston too plainly Indi
cate. On the other hand, the
number of undecided voters
is still large-20 per cent of
the Democrats in our sample.
All the undecided voters are
Protestants, as well. Most of
them may therefore end by
flocking to Humphrey's cor
ner. If this happens, Hum
phrey, not Kennedy, will carry
even Charleston.
Thus the best guess one can
make Is that Kennedy's off
chance will only become a
real chance if two things have
happened-if the West Virgin
ians have been strongly im
pressed by Kennedy's per
formance in the debate with
Humphrey; and If some of the
religiously prejudiced voters
are persuaded to forget their
prejudices by the major cli

This is the central reason,
in my view, why they want
a ban on nuclear testing. Such
a ban will not only promote
a detente in Europe but it will
also provide them with a de
cisive reason why they can
not supply China with the

A preoccupation of France to
day lies across the Mediter
ranean in Algeria and in
French Africa. That is why
a detente in Europe is a
French necessity. The French
army is not in Europe but in
Africa, and French Interests
in Africa make it impossible
for France to regard the
NATO military establishment
as of vital Importance to
French security. What is more,
if the French presence in
Africa is to be maintained,
metropolitan France will have
to draw heavily on its capital
resources. Therefore, in spite
of the two nuclear explosions

cannot afford to run in the
race of armaments.

School Philosophy
To the Editor: It was my
plan to write something light
and amusing. But there has
come to us here so much ap
preciation for my last letter
to the editor, that this shouid
be along the same line, so to
speak, the voting down of
more money for our schols.
There is little point or ob
jectivity in castigating people
for voting down the much
wanted money. We should try
to find out why they voted
the way they did. Like doine
a 'Joe Alsop' of door-bell ring
ing irom door to door and
getting the low-down on the
whys and wherefores. For peo
ple oo have a right to their
free thinking and opinions.
Here, seated in an ancient
rawhide-bottomed rocker of
our Home council-corner, was
a man who has spent much of
his life in and around schools.
"It is my experience and care
fully considered opinion," he
told us, "that boys and girls
completing the R's of early
days, were much better fitted
to get out and make their un
aided way ir life than the fin
ished high-schooler is today.
As a boy at home, I was taught
to obey, work and respect the
rights of others. Today that is
considered fuddy-duddy and
outmoded, even to some ex
tent by school authorities,
even though a growing num
ber of schoolrooms are broken
into and made a shambles by
undisciplined school-kids, who
appear to get their moral
training in high-cost gyms for
basketball practice and foot
ball on fields as big as cow
pastures. All this takes a
whacking lot of tax-dollars,
far more than the little old
red schoolhouse could ever
"Boiled down and well-sea
soned with other people I
meet, I'm of the opinion that
too many taxpayers are not
satisfied with the product of
our present day schols. So, we
find them showing their re
sentment at the ballot box."
One thing is sure In this
very serious situation, as was
pointed out in a Mail Tribune
is to be a race of armaments
in Europe, and if the cold
war is to become increasingly
deadly, there will not be the
time, the energy, the wisdom.
the patience, or the resources
to find the path of concilia
tion. WE, TOO, had our reasons
for seekine a detente in
Europe. We cannot any longer
turn our attention away from
this hemisphere. Moreover, to
keep up in the race of arm
aments we must spend at least
as much as the President asks
for, and to be safe we prob
ably ought to spend more.
In order to do this we have
been faced with a choice.
Shall we meet the public
needs of our growing popu
lation and the rapid concen
tration of this population in
big cities? Or shall we let
these needs be inadequately
met while we raise the stand
ard of private consumption?
In the Eisenhower Admin
istration we have sacrificed
public needs and taken mili
tary risks in order to increase
private consumption. In the
days to come we shall have
to reverse the Eisenhower
prioriUes.
Like all other powers, we
have an acute interest in a
detente,

From the New York
Times (a clipping we swiped
from the women's editor,
who was planning to use it
in her column))
"William F. Quinn, Gov
ernor of Hawaii, was in
town last week, telling a
story about a member of
Congress (name mercifully
withheld) who wrote to the
State Department to say
that one of his prominent
constituents was planning a
trip to Hawaii and could the
department arrange to have
our Ambassador there ex
tend him the usual courte
sies. It would also be appre
ciated, the Congressman
went on, if the Embassy
would provide an interpre
ter since his constituent
spoke no Hawaiian."
Any comment seems su
perfluous. Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh. Oh,
gosh.
In this column we try (not
always successfully) to be
light and amusing and incon
sequential, and to hurt no
one's feelings.
But we did, the other day,
and herewith apokize. It was
when we started out the col
umn by saying, "Let's put an
end to all this sports car non
sense . . . etc."
What we were referring to,
of course, was the chit-chat In
various M-T columns (includ

sports cars acquired1 by our
women's editor and our re

most unlikely that this school

To the Editor: It was with
concern and regret that the
letter of the atheist was read.
For it may have the wrong in
fluence upon innocent people.
Especially upon the young and
inexperienced. It seems he did
not stop to consider that there
are TWO classes of people in
the world, the children of God
and the children of satan.
How can we tell them
apart? By their fruits ye shall
know them. For by thy words
thou shalt be justified, and by
thy words thou shalt be con
demned. How? He that is of God
heareth God's words. Ye
therefore hear them not. Why?
Because ye are not of God. So
it is not difficult to tell the
class others belong to.
Jesus called the disciples
fools and slow ot heart when
they failed to believe the
prophets. So that is another
class of fools. Peter calls us
natural brute beasts when we
speak evilly of things we un
derstand not. Also that such
are made to be taken and de
stroyed. The wicked shall be
turned into hell, and all the
nations that forget God.
Since It is a fool who says
there is no God, we will see
more things fools will do.
Likewise the fool and the
brutish person perish. The
fear of the Lord is the begin

"Some consternation," he
said, "has been expressed by
various members about the
above, and rightly so."
But he added, graciously,
that he doesn't feel "any slight
to our club or our interests
was intended, but was merely
overlooked. However, the
writers will be visited, and, it
is hoped, the error publicly
corrected. The Mail Tribune
has previously been very co
operative in helping SSCC
publicize its functions."
Well, aside from not know
ing precisely what "error" he
is talking about, we're glad to
assure him that no slight was
intended, and we're sorry he
took it that way.
We LOVE sports cars.
. Which naturally leads us
into one more (and we hope
the last) sports car story em
anaiing from our own staff.
A reporter was a passen
ger in BB (the regional edi.
tor's blue Sprite) last week,
when a minion of the law
pulled up behind and sound
ed his siren. BB was accused
of VBR (violation of the
basic rule) for the second
time within a month.
After the officer did his
duty and left, the regional
editor (an emotional type)
started muttering about the
"blankety-blank police state
we're living in," and how
he i "th goat for every
ticket-happy officer In the
county."
The passenger - reporter
relayed to the city police
station the regional editor's
opinion of the county law
enforcement agencies, and
his feelings that they were
ell on the lookout for him.
Came the reply, "After
that stuff he wrote about
us in his column, you're
darn right we're watching
out for him."
And the passenger-reporter
said to ua, "All the
little old ladles pushing '
baby buggies ecross busy
highways in the county
should be relieved to hear
that our lead-footed friend
has taken a solemn oath to
obey the speed limits but
we must nevertheless wish
them luck."
The scene is the music room
at the Medford high school.
The time was a few days
after the return of the choir
from a concert trip to Salem
ana Portland. The occasion
was the opening of a large
shipment from the Senator
hotel, where the group stayed.
Lynn Sjolund, choir direc
tor, presided, and as he called
out the room numbers and the
articles which had been left
behind, the owners claimed
them.
There was, among other
things, a pair of black high
heels, a hair brush, an elec
tric razor cord, a shirt and
dirty handkerchief, and one
dirty sock.
