The following are editorials, articles or column full or In part, and telecled because of their general Interest. Their publication does not Imply either approval or disapproval on the part of the Mail Tribune of the opinions given. OFF WITH HIS HEADI For mnny years 1 have been steady reader of Time, the weekly news magazine. And, lor the most part, I have been confident thnt I win getting tho "straight dope" from Its pages. No more. As far as I am concerned anything Time prints will be suspect. www In the cu'rront Issue, Time has a 12-pngc spread telling of the revival of Shakespear ean druma In America and throughout the world. Not one word of the Ore gon Shakespearean festival or of our beautiful and au thentic theater. Stratford, Conn., an upstart festival only five years old is prominently mentioned and there is even a color photo graph of a two-bit Globe Theater In a public park In Sun Diego. It is Impossible for me to believe that this incredible boo-boo was accidental be cause I have been told that the magazine asked for and received a number of color photographs and that their Portland correspondent sent in a lengthy story on our event. Why, then, would our mous festival be omitted? fa- Probably the best guess would be the Innate stupid provincialism of the average New Yorker for we must re member thut Time is a New York magazine, and Its edi tors New Yorkers. www The average New Yorker ennnot believe thnt there Is anything worthwhile In America west of Jersey City except Hollywood. His conception of Oregon is that it Is a heathen land populated by murderous In dians and . that the white folks out here are Images of Ma and Pa Kettle. To the editor of Time who wilfully, maliciously, or erro nlously left us out of his article, I paraphrase Richard III: "Off with his head! So much for Time!" Ashland Dally Tidings. SEARCH FOR A PUHPOSE Life Magazine and the New York Times have combined their resources to undertake a study of "The National Pur pose." Such personalities as Adlal Stevenson, Archibald Mac Leisli, Billy Graham, David Carnoff and Walter Lippmann will discuss and debate what America means and what we hope to achieve. The project was undertaken a feature of the presiden tial year, but the collapse of the summit conference and the national soul-searching that has followed adds to Its Impact. In setting the stage for the debate, Life's chief editorial writer John Jessup raises the question of "how old" is the United States. Are we yet a young nation or are we on the downhill slide? He quotes Walter Lippmann as saying: We talk about ourselves these days as if we were a completed society, one which has achieved Us purposes, and hai no further great business to transact . . ." Jessup finds thnt "there seems to be a real vacuum in the national will . . .' We may well ask ourselves what is our purpose. Our prin cipal domestic political Issues revolve around medical enre for the aged, housing, farm subsidies - all indicating a nation seeking security rath cr than one taking the initio tlve. We seem to be forced into spurts of Intense Interest in science and education, not through our own dynamism but because of the prodding of an alien philosophy. We are mosmerlzed by the big eye" of television and tho "big I" of self-interest President Eisenhower has appointed a commission to search for .national goals. Now, two of the nation's most influential publications are searching for the same ends. While applauding both en deavors, we must remark that a nation which starts searching for Its national goals has already admitted it doesn t know where It s going. -Oregon Statesman, Salem, WOOD! Old growth Body $ Fir 16" & 24" 13 Cord In 2 cord lots Ph. SP 3-1 855 comment from various Oregon papers, quoted either in , LET US HAVE FULL DEBATE The disingulshcd Journal ist, Walter Lippmann, recent ly wrote: "Nobody can say as yet when the nation will be come around to tha realisa tion that national duty must take precedence over pri vate indulgence, that it Is not possible to prasarvt our society by private affluence and public complacency. "Tha voices that will serve this country, and in deed save it, will be those of stem man demanding hard things. They may not as yet do well in the Gal lup polls. But they will be listened to sooner or later." It' has become apparent that foreign policy will be the No. 1 issue in this election year. Many events since the end of World War II and In particular events of recent days compel debate on this is sue. There is nothing to be gained by listening to those who say that to criticize American foreign policy will weaken this nation. There Is much to be gained from criti cism If It is honest criticism. And there has been much that is honest, much that seeks to unite us in the high purpose we must grasp. The Denver Post recently said editorially, "The Ameri can people, once they have this issuel before them, clear ly spelled out, will choose the high, hard road to greatness rather than the soft, easy route to oblivion." With this we agree completely. The very survival of Amer ica is at stake. Our efforts for survival have been far less than enough. As Gov. Nelson Rockefeller said the other day,"We must face the fact that our position in the world Is dramatically weak cr than it was at the end of World War II In relation to the growing power of the Communist bloc. For say ing this, Gov. Rockefeller was criticized by many Republi cans. And what he said was not given the recognition It should have received from the Republican's next leader, Richard Nixon. Mr. Rockefeller has had rough treatment at the hands of Republicans who don't want to face up to the trou bles President Eisenhower and this nation have encoun tered in recent days. So have some Democrats, notably Sen. John Kennedy and Adlal Ste venson, who have demanded than we look squarly at our failures. They have been call ed appeascrs and unpatriotic. More voices will be heard in the days ahead. They must be heard. It Is to be hoped Mr. Nixon will not try to whitewash the record of the Eisenhower a d m inistration. That would do the nation great disservice. The Ameri can people need to be told that their nation is doing bad ly. Once told and then asked that they face up to the great responsibilities that lie ahead, if the hopes of mankind for a world of freedom and jus tice are to be realized, we are certain they will do what is necessary. Let us have full debate of this overpowering issue this year. And as the debate pro gresses let us listen closely and well to those who sug gest that we consider new ways to the goal we all so earnestly desire. -Pendleton East Oregianian.

C, is a girl, a former Register-Guard employe, whose home town Is Dufer, pronounced DOOF- cr. Upon hearing of her im pending visit and upon hear ing how Dufer is pronounced a woman suggested we write something to tell visitors, and even natives, how the home folks pronounce names. To start with, there la Duf er, pronounced DOOfer and not DuFER, as this woman had guessed. Near Dufer is Maupin, pronounced MOPP- in, not MauPAH, as some might suppose. Down the coast, lonely In a surrounding of bleu cheese and green trees Is Langlols, a town that has several pronun ciations, depending, upon where you re from. A friend who lived in that region for a time says the natives call their town Langlois, with the last syllable pronounced like the girl's name, Lois. Some, who speak a more slurred speech, call it Langloss. Vis itors, notably those from the big city, call it Langloy or Langloys. Those who don t quite remember their high high school French try some thing like LangWAH. The river that runs through Eugene is the WillAMette, not the WillamETTE. That east-weast artery in Portland, Gllsan St., is GLEEsan, not "glisten." And, says a girl from Southern Oregon, Mt. McLoughlin is pronounced Mt.

Ashland Accepts Bid for Work on Disposal Plant Ashland-Acccptance of the Graff and James bid for ex pansion of the Ashland mu nicipal sewage plant is ex pected at the Tuesday city council meeting. The plant additions, which must be completed within 30 days of the contract signing date, will enlarge the facili ties to serve a city of 20,000, according to Elmer Biegel, city superintendent. Biegel said the expanded facilities will allow the city to consider expansion of its city limits. The work at the Oak st. and Bear creek site will cost about $327,000. However, this will not result in in creased taxation, Biegel said. Word Received Word was received last week that the federal govern ment will pay 30 per cent of the project's cost in order to correct existing stream pollu tion. The remaining 70 per cent will be paid from existing funds. Some sewage is only par tially treated in the present plant, Biegel said. In a nor mal operation, sewage solids are processed 2nd disposed of as fertilizer while liquids are chlorinated and released. The present plant is too small to allow the complete removal of solids, Biegel said. This means that they are re leased along with the liquid.
