Let us grant that some people undoubtedly

Let us alco grant that a dog control ordinance
is a difficult and fairly expensive one to enforce.
But in granting these things let us remember
that these do not constitute any excuse for public

A CERTAIN tendency to shrug off responsi-
bilitv for enfnrrpmenr. nf thpsp laws nn fho
part of both county and city officials, evident
Over the Dash pnnnlp nf mnnrVis was pnnfirmoH
by the digging of a Mail
set loi tn in a story wnicn appeared in last sun-
day s paper.
A law is a law. A duty is a duty.
And failure to enforce a diilv-nassprl law is
nonfeasance in office.
Whether one aorpps
law makes no difference. Whether it's difficult
to enforce makes no difference. Whether it's ex
pensive to enforce makes no difference. And
whether, deep down in one's secret heart, one be
lieves tne voters were misled, maKes no diliernece
either.
FOR the record, here are the results of the dog
vulc m uutu city anu county, as ui
ficially recorded in the county elections division :
Jackson county:
For dogs running at large 8,813.
Against dogs running at large 10,539.
City of Medford:
For dogs running at large 2,342.
. Against dogs running at large 5,087.
The vote was close enough in the county to
make almost tenahlp the t.hpnrv that pnnno-h iipr.
pie were confused on the
tne actual intent or tne people is in ciouDt.
MOT so in the city of Medford.
' That large a margin is decisive, whether or
not a few voters were confused. The only con
clusion is that almost five out of every seven
voters want dogs controlled inside the Medford
city limits.'
There has been no agitation for a re-vote, as
there has been in several sections of the county.
There is no excuse whatsoever for the city to
shrug off its repsonsibility. E.A.
P.S. Since the above was written, we learn
that officials of the city and county were to meet
this morning to discuss dog control enforcement.
We wish them well. It's a difficult problem. But
it must be faced. E.A.
Challenge to the U. N.
In the chaotic crisis in the Congo, the United
Nations is facing up to its most difficult per
haps even its most dangerous challenge in recent
years.
Dag Hammarskjold is faced with pressures
-from a Hundred different directions ; by jealousies
and suspicions ; by political naivete and political
ambition; by unrestrained passions; by. tribal ta
boos and big-power senstitivities.
If the U.N. can bring order and law and en
lightenment and cooperation out of this mess, the
U.N. can really be said to have grown up.
"THERE are those among us who revile the U.N,,
who mistrust it, who would pull America out
of it.
But twice in very recent memory it has avert
ed what could easily have turned into a world
wide war of annihilation once when the North
Koreans swept down on the Republic of Korea,
and were pushed back and held by U.N. forces;
and again when Britain, France and Israeli began
their desperate and dangerous invasion of Egypt,
after the nationalization of the Suez canal.
In those two actions the U.N. has earned not
only our gratitude and confidence, but has re
paid, many times over, what it would have cost
us in blood, tears and treasure had. the U.N. not
acted.
IN THE Congo, the U.N. is entering a new and
challenging phase of its existence.
It is cementing the precedent of using a "po
lice force" of international composition. It is
venturing into an area of diplomacy and admin
istration and pacification never before success
fully attempted by an international organization.
It is getting awfully close to running the internal
affairs of a country which cannot, as yet, anyway,
run them itself.
If it can pull it off ; if it can pass the miracle
of international cooperation and good will which
it is attempting, it will be even more firmly
established, not only as the only world forum we
have, but more important, as an increasingly ef
fective policeman and international arbiter a
strong force for world peace. E.A.

People and Creatures
To the Editor: Those who
wish me to write something
funny so they can grin some
more are using fans to keep
them cool.
I have a fan, but this brain
can't think during sultry
weather. Oh well, anything I
write will not require thought.
One tells me to write about
people. That's easy. I like
them. I even like their mis
takes because they give me
faith to live with my own.. I
like the sinful folk because
they had the nerve to do what
I didn't dare. I like the
meanies, for I often get up
with a large chip on my
shoulder and I can watch the
meanies and second the mo
tion. I like the goodie-goodies
because they are such good
examples to the rest of us.
As I said -1 like people.
Mostly, I even like me until
the blamed mirror shows me
up; the thin spot in my hair,
broad middle, big feet. Ughl
That poem some smarty
wrote about a dab o' powder,
a touch o' paint making an
ugly woman look like what
she ain't, helps.
I shall work at it.
There are many people I'd
like to know. For instance,
Lynn M. Watkins who writes
"Small World Around Us."
I'd like to tell him about, lit
tle "people" of the wilds I've
known: The "porkies" that
clattered our' ax - handle at
night while gnawing to taste
the salty sweat; a large snap
ping turtle that learned to
accept bugs from my fingers;
a hoot owl's maniacal laugh
ter that made my bones all
shivery; small wings and legs
I've set and cared for 'til
they brought trust in me.
People who do not know
the little creatures, are miss
ing so very much.
I keep a pan of fresh water
in the edge of a flower bed
for my pet toad. A toad is
worth a lot to a garden.
Each night an old mongrel
dog comes there to drink - or
did. Two children spied him
before he got his drink one
night and they stoned him as
long as he was in reach. Then
a woman took up the chase
until the harmless old fel
low was out of sight.
He hasn't returned.
I liked F. J. Clifford's letter

chores to do, there would be
less naughtiness.

How About It, FJC?
To the Editor: It is with a
cynical tear In my eye that
I read a letter from Mr. F. J.
Clifford of Route 2, Box 200F,
Central Point, about his poor
little orphan boy. Mr. Clif
ford, like a good many farm
ers that like to brag how hard
they work, feels sorry for this
poor orphan. Does Mr. Clif
ford realize that if this poor
little orphan was allowed to
carry on, his employers would
hire nothing but orphans?
Mr. Cliffo.'d may be one of
those people that cannot make
a living in a standard 6 or 8
hour day. So he expects every
one else to conform to his
ideas. I also have an extra
tear for the Granger. He does
n't think teen agcrs should
have a mind of their own.
This Granger should realize
that a hamburger cost 10 cents
when he was a boy, and is
now 45 to 55 cents, and other
things In proportion.

growling have, according to
my reasoning, given the Uni-

led States a disservice, plant

insuring a large yield, untold
acres that never even pro

to get a certain payment, soil

our farmer friends have ob
tained free fertilizer. How
about it Mr. Clifford? Send
us another letter.
Tell us, Mr. Clifford, how
you and others plant and
grow more than you can take
care of. You have to appeal to
your town, city, or county to
have your crop. I know of
cases where school districts
have let out school to help
certain crops. Who benefits
from that? Sure, the people,
but go into a store and try to
buy some of this produce. We
have tried it and have paid
through the nose.
Of course Mr. Clifford had
to bring a union into his let
ter. If Mr. Clifford thinks
that unionism is wrong, all
he has to do is to think about
the facts that farmers can not
stick together. I can show
him that when prices were
low, farmers decided not to
sell produce or milk, but after
dark, the roads were crowded
with farmers taking produce
to market. How about it Mr.
Clifford?

Imaginary Ghosts
To the Editor: The other
day, while out for a breath of
fresh air during my lunch
hour, I experienced that
which, for lack of a better
word, might well be called
"pathetique."
Wearing Front at Sixth, I
heard the blaring siren of an
enormous diesel engine haul
ing a string of freight cars
northward, warning pedes
trians and cars of its ap
proach.
At the intersection, I saw
a young mother with a 4-year-old
child in tow. While the
mother was busy adjusting a
package or two preparatory
to crossing, the little girl
raised her right arm opening
and closing her pudgy little
fingers in a gesture of wav
ing bye-bye.'
This episode brought forth
disturbing memories of some
long, long ago yesterdays, and
pathos for the little girl who
childishly saluted the imagin
ary ghosts of imaginary pas
sengers of an imaginary
friendly Southern Pacific.

Age Limit?
To the Editor: Republicans
are using Kennedy's age, 43
years, as being too youthful
for a president of the United
States. I thought that ex
president Harry S. Truman
was hinting at the same thing.
In a letter to him I asked the
following question:
"Do you favor a Constitu
tional amendment which
would specify that president
ial and vice presidential can
didates must be at least 45
years of age?"
No answer.

Political Stability Still Elud
South Korean Republic: law Rul
By SAMUEL KIM
Seoul - (UPD - If South Ko
rea's National Assembly elec
tions proved anything it was
that political stability still is
a long way off in the young
anti-Communist republic.
The violence that accompa
nied the elections showed that
the rule of law - which broke
down during the "revolution"
that toppled strongman Syng-
ious heritages, that of freedom
of the press.
In the forthcoming political
battle, for that's what it looks
like it will be, we'll all have
a grandstand view of some
very interesting events.
This republic was founded
on the principles of religious
freedom. I don't believe any
of us should lightly take that
freedom. We owe much to
those men who would not
sacrifice principle for greed
or monetary gain.
The want of the world to
day is for men who can
neither be bought or sold,
men who are as true to prin
ciple as the needle is to the
pole.
Many seem to be concerned
over the possibility oi a
Catholic for president. Per
haps a quotation here from
the June 19 "Register," an of
ficial Catholic publication,
might throw some light on
the question. Some might
wonder why many Protestants
seem to object to a Catholic
running for president. Here
is the statement under the
heading, "We can make
U.S.A. Catholic":
"Often have I wished that
could be alive when the
great sweep into the church
occurrs in the United States. I
have always felt that there
will be a tidal wave of con
versions, and that Protestant
ism will disappear into his
tory, or be left as only a
small body."
This Register article then
says, The uatnonc cnurcn 10
day is the very church that
Christ personally founded on
the Rock that is peter ana
the succeeding Popes. There
can be no nuestioning the fact
that this church is divinely
Drotected in her teachings and
has the straight doctrine of
Christ."
Now this is not being writ
ten for the sake of argument,
However most non-Catholics
auestion the above statements
They have fresh in their minds
recent happenings in Colom-
bia. Prior to that they think
of European history when the
church dominated tne state.
Along with this they have
been tola tnat Jtome never
changes.
The writer fondly looks to
the day when the God of
Heaven' will set up His ever
lasting Kingdom. Then and
only then will there be peace.

Praise for Scouters
To the Editor (via the Med
ford Chamber of Commerce):
Recently we had the pleasure
of providing overnight space
in Fairmont Park (where my
husband and myself are the
caretakers), for the scouts-of
the Crater Lake Council. Mr.
Shirrel.R. Doty, N. H. Glad
feltcr, George Flanagan and
B. Sam Taylor were in charge
of the boys.
I thought you might ap
preciate knowing the men
were indeed courteous to us
and very pleasant with the
scouts, and the scouts of this
group were well behaved and
trained. They were excep
tional and the finest group
(out of the thousands) that
have stayed in the park, go
ing or returning from the
Jamboree.
These mentioned men are
due a lot of credit.
Mr. Miller and I have been
in your fine city and also

visit there.

On Qualifications
To the Editor: Reading the
letters to the editor lately,
I've wondered just what quali
fications some voters consider
desirable in a representative
of the people? For example, it
seems to be a handicap, when
running for office, to have
achieved a measure of success
financially and scholastically
by working, studying and sav
ing. "
I assume that those who are
currently complaining of Dr.
Durno's successful carscr are
registered Democrats who will
probably support their young
and rich presidential candi
date, who achieved his success
by being born into a wealthy
family.
Referring to Dr. Durno's
stand on the Forand bill for
free medical aid. This bill
would, as Dr. Durno stated,
make free medical care avail
able to all on Social Security
despite the fact that many
are quite capable of paying
their own way. Regardless of
man Rhee from power three
months ago - still has not
been reestablished firmly.
Too many people in South
Korea still have the idea that
they can accomplish their
aims by demonstrations. This
idea prevails because of the
sue cess of demonstrations
against the corrupt Rhee re
gime. Police Demoralized
The police still are demor
alized as a result of the public
uprisings and show little abil
ity to handle determined dem
onstrators. Officials are reluctant to
use army troops again to
maintain order except in iso
lated cases and only if abso-
a person's income or wealth,
if they were obliged to con
tribute to Social Security be
cause of their particular oc
cupation they would then be
eligible for free medical care.
For those who think that
the medical profession should
be socialized, ponder the fact
that the high and the wealthy
of other socialized nations fre
quently come to this country
for medical attention.

School Boundary Change
To the Editor: On Aug. 11
the boundary board is meeting
to consider the transfer of
valuable property from the
Phoenix-Talent school district
to the Medford school district.
If the Jackson County Re
organization committee had
done its duty when this mat
ter was presented to them last
month, this boundary change
could not even been consider
ed at this time. The purpose
of having the reorganization
committee pass on all bound
ary changes after reorganiza
tion is to protect the assessed
valuation and enrollment of
the smaller districts so that
they will be able to carry on
an adequate educational pro
gram.
The voters consolidated the
Phoenix and Talent districts
under the reorganization law
for the purpose of improving
their school program. This
consolidation was approved
by the local reorganization
committee, as .well as by the
state authorities.
Regardless of the wishes, or
even the welfare, of a small
pressure group who are in
new real estate development
at the outer edge of the school
district, it was the clear duly
of the reorganization commit
tee to consider the welfare of
the whole Phoenix-Talent dis
trict and refuse to transfer
property from a smaller dis
trict, which needed tne stu
dents and property, to a huge
overgrown district like Med
ford. However, they voted 4 to 2
n favor of the transfer, with
members not present. At
least 3 of the affirmative
voters live or own property
in the Medford school district.
The south end of the valley
had no representation on the
committee. To decide a mat
ter as vital as this an im
partial board should pass on
Either the Mcdiord mem
bers should not have voted, or
the state committee should
have the jurisdiction. If this
type of decision is being made
in other districts, it is not sur
prising that there is a growing
sentiment all over the state to
repeal the reorganization law.
The present school district
reorganization committee did
not do its duty when it allow
ed such a transfer to be per
mitted; and there should be an
investigation of this matter at
state level.
Those interested should ap
pear at the Courthouse audi
torium at 8 p.m., Aug. 11, to
attend the boundary board
hearing.

is the fact that the military
itself is in a state of disorder,
as a result of "munities"' by
junior officers against super
iors whom the young officers
claim were involved in the
Rhee corruption.
Some of the cream of the
army brass has been pushed
aside and more will follow.
Army unrest is likely to con
tinue for some time.
To add to the confusion
caused by the election vio
lence, police authorities rais
ed the possibility - just as
the Rhee regime did at the
outset of the "revolution" -that
the demonstrations were
Communist-inspired.
Not Rod-Inspired
If this was not true before

not - then it's unlikely to be
true in the latest incidents.

for example, editorials prais-

ant newspapers and maga
zines in Buenos Aires. Monte

work is well and favorably
nown to all those who take
special interest in our neigh
