Opportunity at Hyatt
We have written much about outdoor recrea
tion in recent months and years.
This is because it is a really "live" topic
of substantial personal interest to a large and
growing number of people.
Any one who has observed the growth in out
door recreation is bound to agree that there is a
"recreation explosion," that it is continuing and
increasing, and that public agencies are under
strong pressure to meet the demand.
1XE ARE most fortunate in Jackson county to
have one of the great natural mountain,
river and lake recreation areas of the nation. It
serves as a strong attraction to tourists, who fur
nish our economy with
of the dollars which circulate here.
So it is up to all of us, recreationalists or not,
to support in any way we can improvements and
i i i.l j i l
extensions 01 our tremendous recreational po
tential. .
Now, with this out of the way, we have a sug
gestion which, with very little time, money and
effort, could make a mediocre recreational area
an excellent one, thus adding to the enjoyment
of local people and visitors alike.
1X7E REFER specifically to Hyatt lake.
' The lake is part of the Talent Irrigation Dis
trict system of water collection and distribution,
and is now tied in with the big new Howard
Prairie development, which itself is going to be
come a major recreation area.
Hyatt is a relatively
shallow, particularly around the rim where the
water level has been raised by the dam. It is
an excellent habitat for warm water (spiny ray)
fish, and as such, with its pleasant, wooded sur
roundings, its gradually sloped shores, and its
relative accessibility, it is an excellent family rec
reation site. There are summer homes there, a
number of public areas, and a resort concession.
Its main drawback, both as to beauty ana as to
recreational utility, is the "dead forest" of trees
killed when the water level was raised, and which
provides an unsightly thicket of snags around the
waters edge.
DY A combination of circumstances, the time
has come when this drawback could be re
moved, at a minimum of effort and cost.
The lake is being drawn down now, to pro
vide for poisoning and
fishes selected for the area. The probabilities are,
since the entire Talent
be in operation next year, it never again will be
down low enough to get at the snags below the
usual water line.
The countv is now clearintr the right of way
for a road in the area, and logging equipment is
on the ground, available.
;
"THESE factors, combined, make it an ideal
A time to do something to bring Hyatt lake up
to its high potential.
Could not the bureau of reclamation, the bu
reau of land management, the forest service,
Jackson county, and whatever private owners
are in the area cooperate
The county court could

The costs, right now, would be minimal. And
probably never again will there be such an op
portunity to improve both the sightliness and the
utlity value of what could well be one of our
major recreational attractions. E.A.
Almost
After the night-time temperature dropped
over the week end, and the electric blanket was
switched on for the first time in many months,
the Family Secretary of Health, Education and
Welfare inquired:
"Isn't it about time for the annual fall edi
torial?" Perhaps it is.
Perhaps the fact that the sun doesn't appear,
shining yellow through the curtains to the east,
for a good hour after the time it did not long ago,
is a hint that autumn is not far away.
Perhaps its earlier descent through the skies,
and the colorful sunsets it provides in combina
tion with the Btriny clouds, are a sign.
A FEW leaves on the trees just a few are
beginning to turn yellowish brown.
The coat of the puppy (he's still the puppy,
even though fully grown ; just as the 14-year-old
is still "Baby" occasionally) is growing shaggy
as his hot-weather crew cut grows out.
The crab grass, defying all the patented
chemicals and all the curses, has taken over
major portions of the lawn.
Fall autumn to the purists isn't here yet.

She Gives Thanks
To the Editor: I was fully

pay-but hardly expected such
fast results until my "Mos

last Wednesday's issue of your

Thursday morning by the
"spray plane" dipping "ob

three times. Ha.
I got the message.
About one or two more

Grasshoppers
To the Editor: One saying
of Agassiz seems worthy of
the portal of every college s
Life Sciences Hall. Asked If
he enjoyed his vacation: "Cer
tainly. Almost got halfway
across my garden."
As to garden miracles, is
anything more intriguing than
the camouflage of the grass
hopper family? The ground
types have evolved the color
of the soil. Also they seem
to fly low, not high among
the greenery. Others, high
flying types are colored green,
sometimes with lines of yel
low like foliage. The katydid
even so resembles a green leaf
that, when at rest, it is well
hidden.
As to camouflage, here
again Mother Nature was
"first at the Patent Office."
Britain sent her soldiers into
battle with the same redcoats
that made maidens' hearts go
"pit-a-pat." No wonder Kip
ling's Tommy said: "The Boer,
'e knocked us silly at a mile."
One fascinating grasshopper
coloration is of those with red,
or golden or silver under
wings. One considering British
redcoats might wonder. The
pursuer strikes at the color
in flight but misses his prey.
The camouflaged wingcovers,
at alighting, are as effective
protection as with the under
wing moths.
We-2 once invested a sum
mer's leisure studying our gar
den's Orthoptera. 'Twas as ex
citing as a dugout expedition
in Java's jungles, or as a
camel trip "down the Trail

Quotes From Rome
To the Editor: The writer
of these lines lias been made
aware of some interesting
fads that he feels your read
ers would be interested in.
Just when millions of Amer
icans seem ready to accept the
oft repeated claim that the
Roman Catholic Church does
not tell its members how to
vote, the Vatican newspaper
L' Osservatore Romano pub
lished an editorial that drop
ped like a bomb among
Rome's apologists in the Unit
ed States, Space does not per
mit but we feel some of these
statements made in this edi
torial of May 17 should be
given careful attention by
Americans.
Said the editor, and I quote,
"There is a tendency to sep
arate the Catholic (member)
from the eccleiastlcal hier
archy, narrowing the chasm
between them to the sacred
ministry alone, and proclaim
ing the full independence of
the believer in the civil field.
Hence the absurd dichotomy
of conscience as between citi
zen and believer, as if the
Catholic religion were only a
special and occasional phase
in the life of the soul, and not
Menace
I Ifn 1 1 ( 1 1 M Ltr
x aniNunvviv
the powerful idea that in
volves and gives direction to
man's whole existence.
"The Catholic can never
overlook the teaching and the
instruction of the Church. In
every field of his life he must
base his private behavior on
the guidance and instruction
of the hierarchy.
"In the grave hour that has
struck it is time for an urgent
appeal to the consistency and
the sense of duty of all Cath
olics so that all of them will
take their stand, not on the
side of flimsy opinions of
make-shift teachers but on
that of the thinking and guid
ance of the ecclestical hier
archy which alone, as we have
pointed out, has the right to
decide whether in a given so
cial and political situation,
there is any involvement or
compromise of higher relig
ious and more principles.
"It is the duty of every
Catholic to bow to these rul
ings and those opinions even
in the field of politics."
We wonder as to the posi
tion of J. H. Kennedy, who
has declared that as president
he would be responsible to
God but not to the pope. Ob
viously Rome has not changed.
She has not become more tol
erant. Her millions of com
municants are instructed to
hold themselves in bound al
legiance to Rome. Though they
may take the oath pledging
their loyalty to the state yet
back of this lies the vow of
obedience to Rome, absolving
them from every pledge inim
ical to her interests.

Important Measure
To the Editor: Enclosed is
a letter from Steve Schell,
president of the Associated
Students of the University of
Oregon, which has brought to
my attention the importance
of the passage of Ballot Meas
ure 6, "State Bonds for High
er Education Facilities".
The housing facilities situa
tion, in particular, is very
serious. There is not enough
dormitory space to house all
the enrolled students ade
quately, which results in put
ting pressure on the sorori
ties and fraternities; and
there are not enough avail
able apartments to house the
married students.
I have just cited one in
stance, but all the other bene
fits that this measure aids are
equally important.
Being a part of the Univer
sity of Oregon student body, I
feel that it is up to us to let
people know the situation and
encourage them to vote for
this very important amend
ment. Judith C. Lobdcll

Mr. Schcll's letter follows:
What I'm writing you about
is Ballot Measure 6. "State
Bonds for Higher Education
Facilities." Ballot Measure 6
is a constitutional amendment
which will appear on the bal
lot in November. It would
authorize an increase in the
amount of money which the
Oregon state system of higher
education may borrow to
build self-liquidating college
buildings.
Self-liquidating buildings
are buildings which are paid
for out of fees, rentals, gifts
and concessions. No tax mon
ey Is used to finance them.
Dormitories, married student
housing, student centers, ath
letic and health facilities in
the public colleges of Oregon
have been built in this tax
free way for almost 30 years.

Some New
Of Africa,
By K. C. THALER
London - (UPD - The bitter
crisis in the embattled Congo
republic has set off growing
visions among ambitious Af
rican leaders of a United
States of Africa.
By the end of 1960, a total
of 16 new states will have
emerged in the former Dark
Continent within a single
year.
Some of them lack suffi
cient experience and the eco
nomic and financial resources
to assure a safe passage to
wards unimpaired existence
as independent nations.
The developments in the
dorms next year; if No. 6
does not pass, the situation
will be even more critical.

to inform yourself and those

will involve NO tax money.

Wake Up! He Says
To the Editor: Seems like
its time for someone to get
busy and take the people's
side. So People of Medford,
wake up! !
Did you know that already
a few senior citizens are drift
ing onto the "Gimme Trail"
right at this time and looking
for what could be a commu
nity handout of a nice, new
home obtained through the
re-activating of a county hous
ing authority, not too long
after our original one was
discontinued?
An application or similar
move has been made to our
county court for this, hoping
to obtain their approval, and
you and you and you must
register your obpection to this
right now or it could be too
late. Better to upset it before
it starts. Wonder who of the
sponsors are itching for a
chance to get on the county
or public payroll, as in due
time there would be several.
Why not have these people
get their homes by their own
personal efforts, just as you
and the writer have, thereby
keeping any of their crew out
of our taxpayer funds we dig
up each year, and it's grow
ing larger each year as it is
now, creating a real burden
for many. You should act now
by telling your county court
to turn down any such plan
and now is the time; so phone
call in person or write with
out fail at once, for we must
hold the line on taxes and ex
pense. Why not make our voices
heard frequently and stop
needless spending, for there
are folks coming up with all
kinds of extravagant schemes
that we can easily get along
without, for they invariably
increase the public payrolls
that create headaches in meet
ing our taxes.

Doesn't Make Sense
To the Editor: I have never
written a letter to this column
before, but this is one time I
would like to point out some
facts that should be taken into
consideration by the people
and school officials concerned
in the boundary dispute.
There will probably be few
people in the new mnnor, but
it was built as a part of Med
ford, served by the police,
water, sewer and street de
partments, and I think should
be part of the Medford school
district.
Be that as it may, we
bought our property in Med
ford and that is where we
were expecting to send our
children to school, if we had
wanted our children to go to
Phoenix schools we would
have bought our home in
Phoenix. When the shoe was
on the other foot and the
board wanted to bring the
Phoenix children to Medford,
they didn't like it, and I
don't blame them, even if it
was only their high school
ages.
It seems silly, when we can
see the school from our front
porch, to have to ride 30 to
45 minutes to reach a school
in Phoenix.
No one promised us any
thing when we bought our
home. We took it for granted
that we were in Medford all
the way, not living in one city
and sending our children to
school in another town.
It just doesn'.t make sense
to us.

Likes Herblock
To the Editor: 1 am one
of a great number who
think that Herlock's car
toons are the best in poli
tical satire of any that have
appeared since the early times
of Tom Nast, originator of the
elephant to represent the
G.O.P. and the donkey of the
Democrats.
It is my opinion that the
persons who have from time
to time sent in letters of pro-
Leaders Envision United States
Free From Both East and West
Congo have conjured up the
specter of a possible "Balkan
ization" of the Dark Conti
nent, . and some of Africa's
new leaders fear this could
invite fresh big-power inter
vention and dangerous inter
national rivalry.
Russia Is Interested
Suspicion of the big powers
in Africa is complemented by
the sudden advent- of the
United Nations and Soviet
Russia on the African scene
The Kremlin has been keeping
a suspiciously interested eye
on Africa in recent weeks.
Foremost among Africa's
new leaders to envisage a
United States of Africa is
Ghana's dynamic president,
Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, 51,
whose ambition seemingly
aims at leadership of a broad
er African alignment.
The American-trained poli
tician considers an African
alignment both possible and
necessary.
Looking beyond his own
frontiers, he has said that
Ghana's own independence
will be incomplete unless it
is linked up with the libera
tion of other countries in Af
rica. Troops Were Alerted
He showed his determina
tion when at the height of the
test belong to the class that
loves to dish it out, but can
not take it. It depends upon
which side of the political
controversies a person hap
pens to be lined up, whether
the cartoons rub the right1 or
wrong way.
Chances are that these
same protestors, who feel so
badly about Herblock's digs
at the present administration's
activities, are the same who
get such a big bang out of his
similar digs at Roosevelt and
Truman administrations.
Herblock is doing a wonder
ful job, and we hope you keep
him right where he is, on the
front page of your paper.

The Tables Turned
To the Editor: This is my
answer to Mrs. Paul Struck,
of Prospect, Ore., if you care
to use it.
Many thanks to you Mrs.
Paul Struck. I thought for a
time I was out of luck. I cer
tainly appreciate your good
advice to me, in fact I've al
ready found a beautiful tree,
where I can forget about the
woes of life, and not even
think of the world's greed and
strife.
But, now that I've found
how to get 'back out there',
I find that I have still an
other care, for how would I
feel, if the fish held the reel,
and it was me, in the water,
out there?
I take one good look, then
bait up my hook, and cast a
tempting lure. If the fish are
hungry, they will take the
lure, that's sure.
I have loads of fun, while
he makes his run, then I land
him with a yank. BUT, if the
procedure was just reversed,
it would be me, lying there,
on the bank.

Anything Wrong?
To the Editor: Due to the
adverse reactions of many
readers of this publication to
my announced intention to
vote for Kennedy, though not
of his faith, I feel constrained
to make the following obser
vations.
Catholic clergymen do not
run for public office. They
limit themselves to teaching
and preaching religious pre
cepts and doctrines and living
religious lives. By example
as well as by words th-;y
stress morality, truth and
faith in religious teachings.
Politics is left to the more
worldly citizens, even as you
and I. Candidate Kennedy is
a good, patriotic citizen, a
United States senator, who
was reared in the Catholic
faith.
Anything wrong with that
picture?

Freedom of Religion
To the Editor: Too often,
people get the disease called
the preacher s Itch, and tell
the others what they "think"
the Bible says.
We also hear so much about
this country being founded on
freedom of religion and
speech. If it were, then the
white man should have kept
his paws off it and let it so
be.
All legitimate versions of
the Holy Scriptures assure us
of all mankind of a dark skin,
one language and one blood,
until mankind decided to con
nect this earth and heaven
by a tower and staircase.
Then did the Lord confound,
V. T. (throw into confusion),
the language of man and scat
ter man abroad upon the face
of all the world.
Could it have been by the
order of some other god that
the white man came to abuse
the simple rights of God's na-
Congo crisis he alerted Ghana
ian troops against embattled
Katanga to prevent its break
away from the Congo.
A member of the British
commonwealth, Nkrumah has
lately also established good
relations with the Russians.
But what he appears to aim
at is unimpaired leadership,
free from western and Soviet
power blocs.
His chief rival at present
is Sekou Toure, the boss of
the Republic of Guinea which
broke away from France a
year ago.
Toure, Moscow-trained and
in close contact with the So
viet, is also looking toward
leadership over the newly
emerging nations.
The Soviets have made
tives here, by slaughter and
theft of property and heri
tage? To secure this said free
dom of religion, many things
have been done in Europe a
few centuries ago and in a
more sadistic manner. When
the natives finally fought for
their own freedom they
henceforth were branded "the
barbarians" of early history.
Very few people know that
the Jesus of Nazareth also
has a new and better Heaven
than "any" church has for it
self, each church has a pri
vate one. That could be the
freedom of religion we hear
so much about.

The Old Fashioned Preacher
To the Editor: At a cottage
prayer meeting in Medford
the writer quoted a fine old
poem bearing the above title.
It was so well appreciated
that a request was voiced that
we send it to the Mail Trib
une, "so everyone can appre
ciate it." We therefore sub
mit it for publication:
Old Parson Stubbs he used
to preach at Tobin's School
House and at Beach;
A preacher of the olden
brand with scripture verses
right at hand,
With half the Bible learned
by rote right in his head
where he could quote.
I'm sure the bells of heaven
rang both when he prayed
and when he sang!
Hp raised a loud reDrovinC
din against old - fashioned
kinds of sin.
He spoke aloud - some say
he raved - about the need, of
getting saved.
He held revivals now and
then where women, children,
grown-up men,
With tear-streams coursing
down the face, sought pardon,
purity, and grace.
He thundered f o r t h the
Truth, the Word, in tones
that were distinctly heard;
He had one message meant
for all, 'twas, "Seek redemp
tion from the tall!"
The parson died in '93; his
last song was, "Abide with
Me."
His last words were, "It is
His wayl Good bye, I'm going
home today!"
A man now preaches in his
place who scoffs the very
sound of "grace."
He has A.M.s and Pn.us,
and other marks of high de
grees. He lectures on the planet
Mars, the glory of the moon
and stars,
The beauties of the moun
tain range, and other topics
vague and strange.
His lectures might be very
good if they were ever under
stood, But they don t put a man
on pins and make him sorry
for his sins.
They never stir a wicked
gent up to the point where
he'll repent!

most certainly correct. Theo
logians, in thousands of talks
and writings, inform us that
there are 30 nassa i?p in tVia
Bible regarding the devil and
hell.
Knowledge can discrimin
ate between true and untrue,
good and bad. But "emotions",
can only express subjective
feelings of "likes" and "dis
likes." The "image" in the
judging mind becomes all
important - the "image" and
not the reality.
Today (1960) the "image
makers" are enjoying a field
day, in their foolishness.
Like modern translators of
the revised edition of the
Bible, "confuse their readers."
The Hebrew "sheol," mean
ing a subterranean cavity, or
grave, when translated into
Greek word "hades," has.
like many words, several
meanings. When Lucifer's
Non-servlam" (I will not
serve) and Lucifer was "cast
into hell," being an angel.
without a body, being a spirit.
Reason and common sense in
form us that hell is not a cavi
ty or grave, but eternal pun
ishment. "Hell," like "cancer," is an
unpleasant thought.
Plato and Aristotle over
300 years before the birth of
Christ, proved by philosophy
"the existence of God," and
by "way of negation," "the
existence of hell."
Thomas Aquinas takes the
two philosophy proofs of Aris
totle, and -by theological
proof, plus natural reason, he
gives three additional proofs,
for a total of five proofs for
"the existence of God." Read
Aquinas's "Summa Contra
Gentiles."
Today (1960) the second law
of Thermodynamics tells us
"every event, every phenome
non wears down the original
capital of energy (available
power) of our universe."
Therefore, It was created.
Astronomy; recent studies
reveal the sun and the stars
are slowly decreasing and dy
ing. Therefore, created.
Radio carbon, used in find
ing the dates of a subject of
plant life, animal life, such
as teeth and bones, ceases to
take in the isotope from the
atmosphere, at the death of a
plant, animal or a human be
ing ""herefore, they were
created. I
Man s mind, familiar only
with that succession of events
known as "time," cannot un
derstand what is "eternity,"
outside the time sequence
will really mean.
Time is yours, eternity is
mine.
