People move in and boss our land; Iff time we arise and take our stand. Don't they ever think of the Golden Rule; Of the lessons learned In public school? We're born equal, so we've been told; And have a right to the land we hold. What right have they to come In and ssy: You can't do this or you'll have to pay? If we give in we're no 1-jnger free; We'll have to bow to powers that be. Come on, Friend, let's fight to the end. If you will help we're sure to win. This bit of ah poetry, which was brought to our desk a few weeks ago by a resident of the west side of the valley where a zoning proposal is under discussion, reveals a lot about the senti ment against zoning. It talks about "they," who are trying to "ram zoning down our throats." Who are they? "They," in this case, are people living in the area who want to protect their homes and prop erty values from damage caused by unregulated, destructive development. The poem says: "People move in and boss our land . . ." Actually, the zoning measure is not to "boss the land" of the people now living there. They can still use it exactly as before. Zoning will, however, prevent OTHER people from "moving in" with junk-yards, slaughter-houses, or tar paper shacks, or with other uses which will de stroy the pleasant life in that part of the county. "THE poem cites the Golden Rule. This Rule is phrased in many different ways, but the best-known is this "Do unto others as vou would have others do unto you." In effect, the zoning plan is putting the Golden Rule into a practice through the law making power of the county. reopie now living in keep their cows and horses, can continue to farm their land can continue do now without any diniculty at all.

Measure To Although it is onlv tion day, one can be permitted to look forward to November, and the decisive choices to be made at that time. Voters will not be faced then with the long lists ot convention delegate candidates, but they will be faced with a long list of measures to be decided. There will be at least a dozen, and very likely more put on ative by then. One of the most important measures is one which could be (although it need not be) mis understood. IT is a simple proposal state system of higher amount of its bonding ings wnicn pay tor themselves. It is not a tax measure. The bonds are re tired by income from the sports facilities, and measure. But it is important because, over the years, about half of all the building's on Oregon's cam puses have been built with this pay-for-them- seives plan. It's something to keep in mind. And we'll be reminded. That is one of the purposes of the oiieges i or uregon s cently organized. E. A. Why The city council last night voted for the wid ening of South Riverside ave.

The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case. Another Old Editorial To the Editor, and West Side Residents: I think this editorial expresses the thoughts and opinions of quite a few Jackson County resi dents. Please print in in your communications column and see if I'm not right. This came from the Aug. 30, 1957, "Times" and it is quite a prediction. I quote: "Last week we pointed out editorially that if the county court approved the subdivi sion ordinance as its first law, other laws would follow and freedom little by little would be taken away as the county assumed more police power over our daily lives. "What we didn't know was that before we had predicted more laws would follow an other was in the hopper of the county court and the planning commission. "You will read on the front page of the court authorizing the planning commission to begin study on a building code (law). "We, like about half of the people of the county, live in the country. We live in the country by choice. We like it. We would not move. And if we want to build a pig pen, we're going to do it without asking the county court or anyone else if we can. And we are not going to put up with a parade of inspectors coming and going to see if we are living up to the pre conceived Idea of some con sultant living in San Fran cisco on how we should do it, "We know personally the three members of the county oourt. Individually, they are nice fellows, but collectively they seem to go haywire. We can only believe that they must be bad company for one another. "A county building code is even more ridiculous than a county subdivision ordi nance." John D. Koelmel, 1858 Ross Lane, Medford Progress (?) io tne tailor: We were rather amused recently to read a caption to a silly yet quite impressive little cartoon in a mid-western magazine showing two cowboys in a hick town of only one build' Ing. The one line underneath went like this: "There is not room in this place for both of us. So. likewise the world con tinues to "shrink", when autos smash into one another al most as a daily occurence. Not so long ago there were the "four great powers", men tioned in the press. Now It seems there arc only two "great powers" any more. Around the turn of the cen tury fire-arms were in the experiment stage to actually shoot around trees. Now 80 years later someone is trying to improve missiles to fly around the world. One au thority makes claim that when man reaches a stage where humanity will roam the space age at will, this old earth will be rather useless, and will disintegrate and not re main to clutter up progress any longer.

We would be so happy; we feel we would gladly walk all over Medford as bell ringers. Not all the captains who telephone to se cure marchers are crippled or handicapped, as some of us are.

Nature of Culture To the Editor: As Jewels are usually encased in small containers, this rule of thumb was illustrated by Dave Red mond in a little gem of a Communication under the heading "Humor in Commu nications." It is small but bril liantly scintillating. People in their seflish zeal make any incongruous expo sitions of prejudice and char acter. Convictions of some seem absurd to others. Which is due, no doubt, to a dispar ity in material interest and culture. In our class society, "What is one man's meat is another man's poison," spirit ually as well as materially. However if we are ignorant of the discrepancy we swal low the "line" along with the bait. The communists are not alone in swallowing the party "line." There are many "par tics" and many "lines." And directly or indirectly each line extends to a gravy bowl. On TV the programs were rigged. In Korea the elections were rigged. At the Summit meeting the "rigging" men have been busy on both sides. The least astute has been our side. We have never learned to be extremely clever in di plomacy. The American peo ple are and always have been a "pushover" and our riggers were at a disadvantage being matched with "riggers" that are experts. Then we become a little miffed at being caught in the pantry with our hands and face covered with Rus sian plum jam. When our riggers found that prevarication was of no avail they belligerently said: "Yes I done it and I'm glad, I'm glad. I'm glad." Whether we like it or not the Russians are masters at diplomacy. We could learn a lot from them by asking ques tions. We should know who Santa Claus Is and what he is going to bring us, without peeking into his pack. They have pinpointed the moon and a spot in the South Pacific. They have told us that they want pea.ee and are willing to sacrifice to get it. Thty heve eaten crow for 40 years. Is it good diplomacy to press our luck? What the Russians have done .h;y hsvr accomplished because they fait 'hat it was urgent.

The factor of comfort is this: If the U.

All of which reflects the class nature of our society and our complex standard of morals. We see it all, day aft er day in letters to the editor. Again we chuckle. We would like to hear more from Dave Redmond. Walter Reece Galice rd. Merlin, Ore. Evil and Good To the Editor: Please put this into your communications on Mr. Khrushchev. I am not one who likes to say "I told them so." I have never been in favor of dicta torship nor can I see why our greatest men as brains do fall in their open trap. Mr. K, with is boasting and his crude way of expression, we could only pronounce him as the butcher who pulled himself out of the gutter of ignorance by his boot straps. In order to become so prodigious in Rus sia he must earn it by actions. The human innocents' blood that is on Mr. K's hands and boots does not give him the right to call the President of our United States a thief. I feel that Ike should be very thankful to have found Mr. K out before he was faced with real situation. This slimy figure cannot be trusted even if you keep your eyes on his head. History has proven that the whole Russian history has been based on thievery, dis trust and evil propaganda. We know what they are, and what their aim is, and peace there can never be un less we all become commu nists. They want to get us off balance and then finish us off. I feel Ike should not lose any sleep because words from the evil does no harm to the good. Leo A. Rifenbark 1131 Pinecroft ave. Medford.

President '1024 Queen Anne ave. Medford. "Thank You, Mr. Copco" To the Editor: Having lived in the Copco area for the past 28 years and being a property owner the past 4 years in the Central Point district, I have experienced a very unpleas ant situation with our local monopolized power company, "Copco." Having financial problems with Copco of $7.41, I came home from the doctor with my 3-year-old and 2V4-month-old baby, finding the heating and cooking facilities discon tinued. Seems as though the bookkeeping department is be hind as the order was given to discontinue service. Due to late weather condi tions my husband was de layed in employment as a log ger, therefore our living and spending was limited to a minimum. .Even then Copco was al ways one of the first to re ceive payment or part pay ment when bills could be paid. Courtesy and friendliness! Neither were displayed. On calling the power company I was informed my husband was a very poor provider and not responsible for his family. Little do they know the hours he worked (13-20 hours) to support his family. Have any doubt? Call me! It would be nice if everyone (husbands) were fortunate to work for a large company such as . . .? On calling their office after arriving home (thank heavens the phone isn't operated by their electricity) I was able to reach them before closing time. I talked to a lady who was very nice. She checked into the matter and returning she stated she had located my payment which was received that a.m. and a serviceman would ba out to reume pow er. I heated en babv's bottle in tbe car with bottla Wtrmrr. Despite such problems we have hd v;!! our powitr conv Pny y. cry-living in Oiup' and Some 'Comfort' Seen In Explosion of Summit Hopes Khrushchev may not act here- after as tough as he talks. It will not be news to the SAC pilots that their airplanes with nuclear bombs can pene trate Soviet defenses. Charles Corddry can tell you about that. Corddry covers the Pen tagon for United Press Inter national. He made another visit a fortnight ago to SAC headquarters in Omaha, Neb. Can Penetrate "SAC officers did not need any proof from the U-2," Corddry said, "that their air planes could petetrate the So viet Union and return. They had no doubt about that at any time." The American people have had doubts, however. Dispute about the adequacy of nation al defense has developed so many conflicting claims that the taxpayers who pay the bill do not know what nor whom to believe. The people of the Soviet Union probably were less con fused. Their government per mitted no public arguments De Gaulle Unavailing in Bid To Keep Summit Talks Alive By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Eidtor The min of the week: President Charles de Gaulle of France. The place: Paris, at the summit. The quote: "The absence of Premier Khrushchev was noted. President de Gaulle r.cied that in these circum stances the planned discus sions could not take place." Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev's vicious attack on President Eisenhower sig naled the end of the long awaited sum mit confer ence at its very begin. ning last Mon day. Of all the rV 1 ers, de Gaulle I'UII New&wu iicm umi leu&l enthusiastic about the summit meeting and had been the last to agree to it. But with the meeting final ly assembled and with world hopes focused upon it for at least a hint of lessening of world tensions, de Gaulle Joined whole-heartedly with Prime Minister Harold Mac millan in an attempt to save it. Salvage Attempts In a private meeting Sun day, the day before the meet ing opened, he had tried ear nestly to get Khrushchev to temper the anger of his re marks over the U2 spy plane incident. Khrushchev was saving his ammunition and was non-committal. On Tuesday, with the con ference wreckage scattered about Jiim, de Gaulle tried again. At 11:30 a.m., he invited Khrushchev, Eisenhower and Macmillan to meet with him in a summit conference at 3 p.m. It was hot and sunny in Paris and Khrushchev, with all the appearance of a man whose conscience is clear, was out for a drive in the .country. On receipt of de Gaulle's message, however, he sped back to Paris. Rogue valley and beautiful surroundings, even though the kerosene cook stove and wood fire for heat may have to be put into service. In closing I'll say "Thank you, Mr. Copco" for being so friendly and courteous to me, while my husband is away at work, depriving his family of wonderful conveniences and living conditions that he can not enjoy the year around. However campfires certainly do their part. Mrs. R. S. Simmons 475 Hopkins rd. Central Point, Ore. Search Starts for Old Hearing Aids A nation-wide search to lo cate the oldest hearing aids still in use is underway by Maico Electronics Inc., Minne apolis. The hearing research and manufacturing firm is offer ing $10,000 in its latest minia t u r e transistorized hearing aids to persons now using ob solete aids, or to persons who help find such instruments. Henrv Myhre of Maico of Medford. 820 East Main St., said "we wouldn't call a 10-year-old tar obsolete, and cer tainly not in sntlque. but a 1 1950 model hearing aid can be as out of date as a buggy whip." - He said that a surprisingly ; larg number of hard of hear-l ing persons ire still using In struments 10 tft 15 years old. The old hearing aid "round will last through June 30. 1M about national defense. Khru- shchev and his Kremlin asso ciates never varied the party, line. They told their people that the Soviet had what was required not only for national defense but for the destruc tion of any nation which might challenge. The Soviet citizens must be wondering about that now. Their own premier has proved to them and to the world that a U.S. airplane has overflown Soviet territory from time to time and, on the last flight, was some 1,200 miles inside the U.S.S.R. before it was brought down. How it was brought down is a matter of dispute. But there is no dis pute about the fact of deep and repeated high flying pen etration of Soviet defenses. So, this question arises: Will Khrushchev force the is sue of peace or war before he has established satisfactory Soviet national defense against an invasion and nu clear attack by SAC air planes? At 3 p.m., the Western leaders assembled at Elysee Palace for what should have been the second meeting of the summit. Khrushchev's chair was empty. At 3:20 p.m., the Soviet em bassy telephoned. Was this to be considered a preliminary meeting or a meeting of the summit? If it was to be a summit meeting, Khrushchev would not attend until the United States President had met his demands for an apology for the U2 incident and a promise that there would be no repeti tion and that those involved would be punished. Washington Report By WILLIAM SHADOW CONTESTS Washington-The Republican and Democratic presidential front-runners are running now not so much against other men as against the shadows which the fu ture may throw across the earth. tvniu k n o w a b 1 e shape of a world that Nikita Khrushchev may have made by November. It wopld be too much to say that Khrushchev may elect the next President of the United States. It is undoubt edly possible, however, that he may help to nominate a President. How truly it is "one world," all nostalgic denials to the contrary, has never been more decisively proved. Two weeks ago Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon was as surely the next GOP nom inee for President as any man ever could be before the ac tual event. A week ago Sen. John F. Kennedy was moving all but irresistibly upon the Democratic nomination. TODAY the partisans of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York are again marshaling They are preparing for anoth er go at displacing Nixon wtih the governor. And the governor himself is cooperat ing all the way in this new "stop Nixon" movement. This is why Nelson Rockefeller has said he is not planning to at tend the Republican conven tion. He is trying to disassoci ate himself absolutely from the Eisenhower-Nixon admin istration and its recent past. Nixon is totally linked with that administration's cold war summit policy. Rockefeller is not. That is the short, short story of it. Today Kennedy, despite his primary victories, is becoming slightly vulnerable, too. If the world crisis should be at hand or in sight in July, he may yet be shunted aside by the Dem ocrats for an older man. It should be emphasized that the odds still are very long against the dumping of either Nixon or Kennedy. The point is that even such a pos sibility exists - because of a man named Khrushchev. He CHAPEL MORTUARY Recommends Your Attendance at MEDFORD ACTIVE CLUB'S "ACTIVE CaiWrlflV lift 2 1 OaiUlQaji MdJ 1 In mid-week it seemed like ly that Khrushchev would hurry from Paris to Berlin and there sign with East Ger many a peace treaty. Immedi ate signature thereafter seem ed less likely by the hour. East German spokesmen sim ply denied that a treaty would be signed this week. Mr. K. in Paris, simply said he would sign in his own good time. When and if he signs, the question of peace or war should not be long unan swered. The United States and the West must decide then and quickly whether to ap pease Communism or to con front It. By airlift it might be possible to keep open supply lines to isolated Berlin. An airlift sufficed in 1948. The other way would be the hard way, overland with tanks and trucks. The West cannot choose that way unless what the U2 seemed to prove is a fact: that SAC can pene trate the Soviet defenses with a knockout blow. Not known then was the fact that as the Western lead ers assembled and waited, Khrushchev was luxuriating in a hot bath at the Russian embassy. Until 4 p.m., the exchange of telephone calls continued, with the Western leaders by this time more amused than orjgryt At 5 p.m., it was over and de Gaulle, with the approval of this allies, issued the state ment quoted above, sounding the death knell of the first summit meeting in five years. De Gaulle had been even more right than even he could have anticipated. S. WHITE has moved with brutal skill to capitalize on undeniable American errors over the "spy plane" incident, but far more upon our own extraordinary capacity to lament overmuch and with a puritanical petu lance about how bad our gov ernment has been. - WASHINGTON is a great town for embracing a win ner and shunning a loser. So are the political parties. And the anti-Nixonites are now at work to present Nixon as a loser. Still, to knock him off would take very much doing. He still has the GOP organiza tion. And nothing in our po litical history suggests that any Presidential candidate whose party still controls the White House can run inde pendent of its occupant or of his record. Adlai E. Stevenson attempt ed desperately in 1952 to get away from the then White House tenant, Harry S. Tru man. It did not work then. It is extremely unlikely that Rockefeller, even if nominat ed, could make the technique really work now. And the more Khrushchev insults Eis-enhower-and Nixon-the less likely it would be. KENNEDY, for his part, can not of course be shown as a loser. He has no responsibil ity for the Eisenhower-Nixon policy. He can, however, be presented as perhaps too young to take over in a great crisis. This impression will be fostered by his rivals If the world scene should look as grim-or grimmer-in July as it does in May. This, too, will be far from easy. For Kennedy, like John son, has avoided the major er ror Into which Stevenson and some other Democrats have fallen. He has rejected the temptation to pick fretfully at the Eisenhower administra tion In its hour of grave dif ficulty. For if political Washington has little time for a loser, the country itself will have even less time for those who forget that, approve him or not, Dwight Eisenhower is still President of all, repeat all, of the United States. He is the only spokesman we have pres ently got; and it is not he who is in a jam, it is the United States of America. (Copyright, 1960. by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
