Both Sides Are "Right"
It sounds paradoxical, perhaps, but there are
situations where two groups disagree violently,
arid are on diametrically opposed sides of some
issue and yet both of them are largely in tne
right.
In our judgment, such a situation is evident
in the current nassle over a small portion of the
Phoenix school district where the residents want
to join the Medford school system.
Each side, according to its own lights, has
right and justice on its side. And each side puts
up mighty convincing arguments.

Thus, toitv the members of the boundary

And we can see no compromise which would
satisfy, or even mollify, both sides.
In such a case, where there is right on both
sides, what standard does one use in making a
decision?
As we see it. the overndinir question must be
what is best for all the children involved, both
immediately and ultimately.
Where will they obtain the best education?

But when you tret down
the emanations of partisan politics often sound
downright stupid.
We wonder, for instance, how the many peo

registered) will take to the Democratic ultimatum
that the new home rule study committee must be

For their information, city politics in Med
ford has been non-partisan for years and with
great success.
The judiciary is non-partisan. And rightly so.
The same is true of the schools.

Mr. Samuel Shapiro,
Assistant Professor American
History,
Oberlln College, Oberlin, Ohio
With mingled emotions I
read your letter in the Med

Aug. 10: First, with pride that
our Mr. Porter is appreciated
In faraway places; second,
with gratitude to you for help
ing to piece out the pattern
of his supporters.
Yours is the second letter
from afar in praise of Mr.
Porter's extracurricular a c
tivltles. The other was from
a Friend's discussion group in
Pennsylvania which he had
addressed. Their prospectus
listed as a previous speaker
none other than the mystical,
double dealing, pacifist neu

Oberlin is one of the colleges
listed in opposition to the
loyalty oath for college stu

House. Of the 500 and more,
only two swallowed the bait,
Adam Clayton Powell and our
Mr. Porter. They witnessed
the bloody "liberator" assume
his irresponsible rule and
alienate a friendly nation.
At our Congressman's in
vitation, the bearded one
came to Washington, address
ed Congress, further inflated
his bloated ego, gave him
prestige in Latin America. As
a professor of history, you
are of course familiar with
the ancient pattern south of
the border: liberator-dictator,
plunderer-fugitive.
In your article you say
"The possibility of a Soviet-
Cuban alliance less than 100
miles away from U.S. territory
dramatically points up the
importance of your Congress
man's knowledge and exper
ience in Latin American af
fairs." Well, thanks for your
gratuitous advice, Neighbor,
but that statement's just plain
funny. We've had too much
of Mr. Porter's "knowledge."
He is not a member of the
Foreign Affairs Committee.
His legislative record as Con
gressman from the Fourth
Congressional District is sing
ularly unimpressive. He wants
to admit the red murderers
from Communist China to the
circle of civilized nations. His
vote was one of 20 in opposi
tion to extension of the draft.
With one statement you
make, "He faces a hard fight
for reelection," there can be
agreement.

How It Started
To the Editor: The phrase,
They said the equipment was
crushing rock in a ditch along
the highway," in Wednesday,
Aug. 10, MT, Is confusing and
lacks much in explaining the
cause of the disastrous fire
over Sams Valley way that de
stroyed two valuable barns
stored with baled hay, and
also other buildings and also
much high-cost farm equip
ment.
Better reporting would have
told how the two state mower-
equipped tractors were cut
ting road-side-shoulder grass.
Just beyond the Hutchison
barn (burned) the left side
tractor-mower ran into some
partly hid gravel. People liv
ing just across the road said,
"It sounded awful, like a
lawn mower bitting rock or
iron, but much louder." It was
just that. The hardened cut
ters of the sicklebar chewed
into the flinty rock, and, of all
things, a rusty old horseshoe,
and set off a shower of sparks
as hard steel and flint can al
ways do, igniting the clump of
dry grass and weeds. A young
boy watching the tractors saw
a curl of smoke coming up
where the tractor had stopped,
and then went on. He called to
his mother who, "near para
lyzed with fright and worry,"
sent the boy running to Dring
the tractor men back as she
raced away to the nearest tele
phone. But the up-canyon
wind had fanned the blaze
across the ditch and soon had
the big barn and stored baled
hay in a roaring furnace.
The rest has been well told
In the Mail Tribune. But we
might add that had it not been
for the ready help of the for
est department and Central
Point fire fighting equipment
that saved many homes and
got the fire under control, the
whole north country coum
have become a blackened,
heart-breaking waste. Also, a
one-time resident of New
Mexico tells how a fire-fighting

Meetings
Chiefs of
Produce Few Results
Br ALBERT E. XAFT
Tatpel-(OTD - Do the little
summit conferences between
two chiefs of state produce
results? The Nationalist Chi
nese on Formosa might well
say no.
What happens when rulers
meet? Do they actually roll
up their sleeves and grapple
with the great problems of
the globe? Or do they merely
sip tea, reminisce and ex
change notes on the weather
and scenery?
The answer depends to a
large extent on the relation
ship between the two nations.
When President Eisenhower
met Premier Khruschev in
Camp David, they wasted
little time on the weather and
grappled with such flinty
problems as Berlin.
Endless Talks
But meetings between two
such powerful leaders are the
exception in this new era of
personal diplomacy. Buried in
the newspapers are reports ot
an endless but expensive
round of talks between friend
ly leaders. For what?
Governments call them
goodwill visits because their
primary purpose is not to
solve problems but to express
undying friendship sort of
mutual admiration society at
a little summit.
Few, if any, definitive prob
lems usually are discussed.
That is the business for the
professional diplomats.
Formosa has spent millions
of dollars entertaining state
guests but with few concrete
results.

Here, our state highway de

ferent outlook, including the
ignoring of modern routing of

seems to prefer to bulldoze
their right-of-way through
smaller ones, unable to pro
tect their park playgrounds
and business centers against
such incursions.

War. Politics and Music
To the Editor: Several times
I've been informed that every
time this country has been at
war. Democrats were in of
fice.
Seems to me some Repub
licans have become rather
hated by other lands, and the
ones who believe the Demo
crats are war mongers have
but to look around them at
good neighbors and friends
who are Democrats. We are
down-to-earth humans; good
citizens, too, and no good citi
zen likes or wants war - much
less to provoke one.
We won t crawl under a
plank if war comes.
Those -who believe our
country Is second best in pre
paredness, should keep still
about it and make hay.
Personally, I believe we
are equally prepared, but it's
not a time to get careless, or
to quit manufacturing what
ever !t takes, with several
tricky surprises thrown in. I
am sure we already have
those.
Anyhow, let us bury doubt;
look wise, cocky and satis
fied. Surely, enemy spies are on
the job. Let us keep 'em
guessing and afraid to jump
into our frying pans.
Perhaps they do not know
that Paul Bunyan still lives,
carries a big stick, gas mask,
and some brand new, and
very large, traps.
Our enemies aren't fools, so
it is up to each of us to keep
any fears we may have to
ourselves.
If it boosts the Republicans'
ego to lay wars at our door -just
grin and keep whittling.
The Bible tells us that God
has taken a hand in past wars
and that "Right" won.
Let us just leave things to
Him; trusting, entirely, but
keeping our powder dry.

ments Thursday at 10 a.m.

Parochial Schools and Taxes
To the Editor: The Aua. 11
issue of the "Medford Mail
Tribune" contained a news
item stating St. Mary's school
will be denied the use of free
films from the county cur
riculum materials center. To
me it is another case of tax
ation without representation.
The parents of these children
have helped to pay for these
films through taxes. They do
not want the use of the films
of other people, but films they
tnemselves have paid for,
They don't .want other peo
ple's money; they want their
own money.
Children who attend church-
related schools are American
children. They have liberties
ana rignts under the Federal
Constitution. Among these
rights is freedom of choice in
education. The Supreme
court has repeatedly declared
that government cannot de
mand the surrender of a con
stitutional right as a condition
for sharing in welfare bene
fits. Yet children are forced
to give up their freedom to
choose a church - related
school if they want to share
the welfare benefits of edu
cation. When a child exercises his
constitutional right to attend
a parochial school the govern
ment may not deny him a
share in educational funds. To
do so is to penalize him for
his exercise of religion. When
government conditions its edu
cational benefits on the sur
render of freedom of choice
in education, it violates free
dom of religion and the con
stitution. In distributing its benefits.
government must be objec
tively indifferent to the re
ligious beliefs of its citizens.
It may not use economic pres
sure to force children to con
form to one educational pat
tern any more than it may
force all citizens to belong to
one state-established church.
The government must make
education benefits available
to all children without de
manding the surrender of a
constitutional right.
This opinion seems to co
incide with the remarks made
by Vice President Nixon at
San Diego. "There is a place
for our great educational sys
tem and there Is also a place
for private schools. We re
alize the need of both. It is
important and desirable to
leaven public education with
private education. We do not
want uniformity In educa
tion." Mrs. Don Cameron

the painting was finished ex
cept for the two most impor
tant figures, the Christ Child
and Judas Iscariot.
As he searched for models
for these two figures, he met
a boy whose face stirred the
painter's heart. It was the
face of an angel. The boy was
engaged and sat patiently un
til the face of the Christ Child
was finished. But the painter
found none to serve as a
model for Judas. For years
he searched, until one day
by a tavern, a daunt and tat
tered figure with cigarette
staggered up to him, begging
the price of a drink. The face
startled the old painter. It
seemed to bear the marks of
every sin of mankind. Great
ly excited, the painter said,
"Come with me. I will buv
you drink, food and clothing."
nere at last was the model
for Judas. ' ,
Many days the old painter
worked to complete his mas
terpiece. But a change came
over the model. A strann
tension replaced the stupor
ous languor, his bloodshot
eyes were fixed with horror
on the painted likeness of
himself. Perceiving his sub
ject's agitation, the old paint
er said, "My son, I'd like to
help you, what troubles you
so?" The model sobbed and
buried his face in his hands,
while he told his life of sin,
ana now lODacco, alcohol and
disease that follow their use,
had made a wreck of his life
spiritually, physically and
financially.
Lifting his pleading eyes to
the old painters face he said,
"Don't you remember me?
Only a few years ago I was
your model for the Christ
Child."
Legendary, perhaps. Todav
millions are living it out in
their lives, it is real and a sad
truth to them and their fam
ilies. Would Christ make and
give to His people an alco
holic wine that would wreck
their lives? Do you give these
poisons to your doss? Then
why teach your children by
example to use them, and
why use them? They are for
killing germs and bugs. Christ
died to save you. Why poison
yourself?

He's Disgusted
To the Editor: I wonder it
other people who read the
news item of Aug. 12, under
Regional News, regarding the
wanton destruction of publie
property at McKee bridge
park were as disgusted as I
was.
The chances are that the
people who would do the sort
of things described in the
news article are too ignorant
to be able to read, but in case
someone reads the article ta
them, I hope they are very
proud that they made the
headlines. We holler about
paying taxes and then turn
right around and charge our
selves more taxes by allowing
this kind of foolishness. May
be a $500 fine for the offend
ers would help defray the
costs, and any taxpayer who
sees this sort of destruction
going on owes it to himself
to report it.
