From Oregon's Press
Oregon's newspapers are, generally, vigorous and well-edited. 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

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.

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

NAMES ON THE LAND
Now visiting this town
from Washington, D. 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.
Pitt. - Eugene Register-Guard

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.
