One More Little Push...
Elsewhere on this page is a communication
worthy of more than passing attention.
Its writer has pledged an ADDITIONAL
amount to her previous pledge to the United Med
ford Crusade, because it is so close to success, and
because, to have it fall short of its goal after so
manv vears of making the coal would be a shame,
Others may wish to
wish to send in a check or a bill in addition to an
earlier pledge or donation. Or they may wish
to work it out another way.
It isn't important which. But is IS important
that the UMC succeed, and with Just one more
little push, if enough people help, it will do so.
yO make it as easy as possible, the Mail Tribune
today is publishing a coupon (it's on Page 15)
which can be clipped and mailed to the UMC, at
Box 5000, Medford.
If a few hundred people will send in $10 . . .
If a few hundred pledge to contribute a little
bit more. . . .
If a few more will stop to think, and then act,
about the benefits of a successful United Fund. . .
THEN the UMC will, once again, be a suc
cess. JUST to refresh our memories, what is the
UMC?
It is a voluntary organization which collects
voluntary donations, in a once-a-year drive, and
distributes the money to those charitable, health
and welfare agencies, many of them devoted to
the benefit of children, which meet certain stand
ards. Their services to this community are great,
and cannot be measured in dollars and cents.
They are, literally, incalculable.
And one more little push will make it, once
more, a success the only one in Oregon with
an unbroken series of successes over the years.

Edison Marshall's Latest
Edison Marshall, one of the most prolific
writers of our day, once lived in Medford.
And we are fortunate in that he sees that a
review copy of each of
the Mail Tribune.
His latest, "Earth Giant," arrived before the
election, and the press of politics has, up to now,
crowded out any comment on it. We are glad to
report that we liked it exceedingly, and think it
is one of his best efforts.
e e e
MARSHALL is something of a romantic and
1TA something of a mystic, and these twin quali
ties, if counied witn the
teller (which Marshall is,
lively reading.
"Earth Giant" is lively reading.
It is Marshall's attempt, a successful one, to
tell the mythical story of Hercules, or Heracles,
in terms of a real man and his real story, which
formed the basis for the
legend of the Greek demi-god.
It is told m the tirst
counting the events of
particular the adventures which came to De
known as the 12 labors of Hercules.
IT IS helpful, but not necessary, to know the
Herculean legends as one begins the book. If
one does, each of the parts of the legend, its out
come known, provides
sees how it "really happened in the hero s own
words.
Marshall builds a logical case.
For instance, the legend of the destruction of
the little birds of death turns out, in Heracles'
story, to have amounted
thus eliminating malarial mosquitoes.
And the many-headed monster, Hydra, which
legend has Heracles kill, turns out to have been
a marshy inlet where swamp gases had proven
fatal to nearby residents. Heracles ignited the
gases, and the resulting explosion buried the
main source of gas.
B!
UT Marshall doesn't
old leeends bv convertinc them to humanly-
possible happenings; if there's one thing Mar
shall isn't, it s mundane.
His retelling of the tales in human terms
makes them even more interesting and exciting,
to today's readers, than the legendary feats
themselves.
And he creates in Heracles and the other
characters believable people, swept up in the
excitement of a period when human intellect and
development were undergoing one of their great
spurts of vitality.
THROUGHOUT the whole book is Heracles'
uncertainty as to his parenthood. His mother
was Alcemene, and the legend has it that his
father was Zeus, king of the gods.
This note of uncertainty is resolved at the end
with the revelation that Heracles is, indeed, hu
man, but the offspring of "the greatest Greek
of them all."
Marshall has woven a story which, while it is
based on the old legends, does not follow them
in detail, and makes one half believe that his
story might actually have happened.
It's a fascinating job, and whatever faults
one might find in the book boil down to quibbles.
We recommend it without reservation, ex
cept to note that parents of immature youngsters
might want to look over some of the rather
gvaphic love scenes before permitting small fry
to peruse them. E.A,

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
President elect Kennedy
and Vict President Nixon,
who was Kennedy's unsuc
cessful opponent in the recent
very close Presidential race,
have held friendly confer
ence in Florida - where both
are resting up after what
might be accurately described
as the Herculean labors of an
American Presidential cam
paign. The conference was held at
what the correspondents de
scribe as Nixon's "villa."
That might be a little mis
leading. Mr. Webster defines
a villa as "a country property;
as, Cicero had a VILLA at
Baiae; hence, a somewhat
pretentious rural or suburban
residence."
Mr. Nixon isn't in quite
that propertied class. His
"villa" is simply his quarters
at a more or less typical
Florida hotel operated on
what is known as the "casa"
system, meaning a detached
cottage that is for rent by the
day, by the week or by the
month. The Nixons have
vacationed there from time to
time.
ANYWAY, Mr. Kennedy
and Mr. Nixon met there.
Mr. Kennedy seems merely to
have dropped over for a chat.
It was a friendly and cour
teous and thoughtful gesture.
Mr. Kennedy says no men
tion was made of finding a
Job for Mr. Nixon. They just
talked, were photographed
and went their ways .
It seems like a civilized
way to do it.
WHAT about a Job, in
new administration,
the
for
Mr. Nixon?
Well, it could be a good
Idea.
The big task facing the
U.S.A. In the next four years
is to manage its foreign af
fairs so wisely and so sound
ly as to maintain our position
In the world and at the same
time to AVOID another
world war - which would be
disastrous.
That task is so TREMEN
DOUS as to call for the best
efforts of ALL of our people
- especially our leaders. Mr.
Nixon has had a lot of exper
ience. His experience should
n't be wasted. One of the
soundest principles of what
we might call our Anglo-Saxon
system of government is
that there must be NO POLI
TICS In foreign affairs.
riMIE English, from whom
we inherit much, have an
admirable tradition that the
party OUT OF POWER is to
be regarded as what they
term HIS MAJESTY'S LOY
AL OPPOSITION.
That is to say:
The party out of power is
truly the PARTY OUT ur
POWER. But It is also the
PARTY OF OPPOSITION.
Its Job Is to OPPOSE what it
regards as unwise and un
sound. Criticism, when it is
honest criticism, i good for
Menace
Boost for
turns entitle labor's leaders to
bring pressure on the new ad
ministration, and they will be
expected to do so. That is
another rule of the game.
President-elect John F.
Kennedy is obligated in some
degree to organized labor, and
the president-elect undoubt
edly is aware of that. Ken
nedy is a good politician. He
can read the election returns
as readily as he can read a fi
nancial statement.
Big Labor is conducting It
self with becoming modesty.
The current (Nov. 12) issue of
the AFL-CIO News makes
few direct claims that labor's
money, votes and manpower
'were the difference for Ken-
all of us. It is good for us as
individuals. It is good for us
as nations. It keeps us ON
OUR TOES.
So
Let's hop Mr. Nixon does
n't take any jobs in the new
administration that will limit
his ability, or his inclination,
to oppose any policies that
appear to him to be unwise
and unsound.
Medford Included
In Growth Problem
Salem -(UPD- Frank P. Zeid
ler, former mayor of Milwau
kee, Wis., told the League of
Oregon Cities here Tuesday
that if state governments fail
to combat fragmentation of
local governments, cities will
have to undertake "an ag
gressive pattern of annexa
tion" to stimulate growth.
Such Oregon urban areas in
Oregon as Portland, Eugene,
Salem and Medford face this
problem, he said.
Zeidler said tremendous
growth in suburbs has found
many cities "lagging behind"
and movement of the well-to-do
to suburban areas has re
sulted in class conscious areas
and municipal disruption.
The city manager of Med
ford, Robert A. Duff, and the
city attorney of Springfield,
Robert B. Carmichael, de
scribed annexation programs
in their cities. Medford has a
vigorous annexation program
and Springfield recently more
than doubled its size by an
nexation. Bob G. Kyle, city manager
of Coos Bay, discussed annexa
tion laws in other states.

with W. S. Gilbert after "The Mikado" had become th

to Mr, Gilbert and in
reply to his demand for
twenty pounds before she
may interview him, begs
to say that she will con

nedy between victory and de
feat. The News simply pre-
sents some of the facts of the
campaign and the election re
turns. For example:
Kennedy won all but one
of the larger states with the
bigger cities, the greater con
centrations of union labor and
the fattest cluster of electoral
votes.
Kennedy majorities in ci
ties such as New York, Phil
adelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit,
Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas
City, Los Angeles and San
Francisco were large enough
to overcome the Republican
lead accumulated in rural
areas.
The Democratic break
through was not limited to the
great urban areas. In New
York state, for example, near
ly a dozen smaller cities rang
ing from Rochester to Rome
with long-time Republican
traditions went for Kennedy
this time
Th News reported on New
York returns, as follows:
"Forty-five precious New
York electoral votes were
won decisively by president
elect Kennedy following what
political observers regarded
as an outstanding campaign
performance by organized la
bor in state and city.
"In the registration drive,
lists were combed by hun
dreds of trained union offi
cials against membership lists
to uncover unregistered
union members. Batteries of
phones were installed in bor
ough offices which were
manned 12 hours a day from
9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
From Pennsylvania
"Groundwork for the Ken
nedy victory was laid months
ago in an intensive voter reg
istration drive, sparked by
organized labor, which sent
Democratic registration in
Pennsylvania above that of
the GOP for the first time
since the Civil War."
From Michigan: "The un
official returns indicate that
the labor-sponsored voter reg
istration probably contribut
ed to the Kennedy victory."
From Missouri: "Labor

tion drive in September. But
for this effort, Missouri might

In its victory editorial, the
News modestly proclaimed:
"Of the factors which gave
Kennedy his large city ma
jorities, there appears to be
a relationship between the in
tensive registration and get

Pledge for UMC
To the Editor: I learned that
the United Medford Crusade's
campaign chairman, Hal Gard
ner, has estimated that the
campaign for this year will
finally reach $141,000, which
is about $6,800 short of the
goal.
If 680 people would giv
$10 each, we would reach
the goal this year for the
eighth consecutive year.
I have called the UMC of
fice and registered an addi
tional pledge of $10 which
will be payable by payroll
payments. I hope that this
will be the first of 679 such
gifts which will put the cam
paign over the top.
Our agencies need th
money, for the tremendous
amount of youth and welfare
work which is done.
I don't think that $10 spread
out in easy payments through
the year will be missed by
any one working here.
I hope my additional ten
dollars will start a landslide
of similar pledges.

More UFOs
To th Editor: We are in
receipt of a unique three page
activity bulletin on unidenti
fied flying objects, by the
Aerial Phenomena Research
association, Seattle 55, Wash.
Fifty -three sightings were
listed from 10 states in the
United States from April 5 to
Oct. 31. A total of four for
eign countries around the
world reported on sighting
mysterious objects. New Zea
land led the list with 25 sight
ings of UFOs to date.
In the United States, Wash
ington state reported a total
of 19 sightings and Oregon
reported four, including two
seen from Oregon and one
each in Washington and Cali
fornia. Other states reporting UFOs
were Colorado, Hawaii, Illi
nois, New York, Missouri,
Oklahoma and Texas. Foreign
countries r e porting besides
New Zealand, were Puerto
Rico, Tasmania and Italy.
As food for thought, we
might add a suggestion: A
world pool of international
guessing sweepstakes could
be quite Interesting to attract
world wide attention as to
where in the world the next
sightings would appear. That
would be an equal guess all
around. Wonder someone had
not thought up that thing be
fore?

Credit Where Due
To the Editor: I have been
threatening to write this let
ter for a time. Well, I've tak
en this as long as I can. It
seems that the Medford Mail
Tribune and KBES-TV have
forgotten that there are other
schools in the valley besides
Medford High school. I be
lieve in giving credit where
credit is due, but don't over
do it.
When I open the paper to
the sports page all I see is
Medford High on every page.
We know Medford High pro
duces champion teams, but so
do other schools. Just to men
tion a couple, Phoenix and
St. Mary's High. It seems our
local television station is also
guilty of this. For instance
last Friday, Nov. 11, on the
late news the commentator
gave a big spiel about Med
ford winning again and this is
what was mentioned about
Phoenix High, and I quote,
"And here is another score
that may be of interest, on
second thought it is of inter-
set. Phoenic defeats St. Fran
cis of Eugene. 13 to 7."
What do they mean, "it
may be of interest?" In case
you haven't realized it, peo
ple other than those that send
their children to Medford
High subscribe to your paper
and patronize the local tele
vision sponsors.
the United States.
It is not an unheard of
position.
In Cuba, Fidel Castro ral
lies anti-U.S. support with the
cry that it supported the dic
tatorship of Fulgeneio Batista.
U.S. silence on the revolt In
Algeria leads to the charge
that it supports colonialism
in Africa.
U.S. association in the
Baghdad Pact with deposed
King Faisal of Iraq helped
Nasser crystalizc anti - U.S.
sentiment in the Mideast.
Linked With Diem
In South Viet Nam, for bet
ter or for worse, the United
States is linked with Diem,
who is militantly anti -Communist
and who, so far, ap
pears to have the backing of
most of the army.
On the late television news
noticed they hadn't been
mentioning all of the football
scores. When Phoenix High
defeated Eagle Point I made
point to call our local sta
tion and got no answer, but
made up my mind to get
someone to answer, and they
finally did. Upon answering
they said, they wouldn't be
putting any more sports stor
ies on, but it would be on the
next day. I made a special
point to listen to the news the
the next day and it still was
not on. Do you call this fair?
If it were only the sports
part I'd call it an oversight.
but it has happened in other
activities too. ror instance
last year Phoenix High school
went to the State Debate fi
nals. Naturally all of the stu
dent and parents were anx
ious to know the results.
Everyone watched the news
that night, but this is what
was heard, "Doug Kliever,
Medford High, wins ' State
Panel Discussion." There was
no mention of Phoenix High
School winning the State De
bate Championshipl
I am sure there are other
schools in this valley that feel
th same way in this matter.

of their plants. The mulberry'
diseases of silkworms give
Pasteur early insight into th
cause of "fermentation." This)
is what finally gave us "Pas
teurized" milk. Writer found
Pasteurized camel milk even
on certain cases of th "Trail
toward Timbuctu."
One of th mulberry's kin
is the hop that flavors beer.
Another relative is osag
orange, the bois d'arc or bow
wood of the French voyaguera
penetrating the Mississippi
valley in Pere Marquette'
time. ' . '
Another branch of th mul
berry family is the fig. It in
cludes our edible figs, also)
the parasitic strangler fig of
Everglades National park,
likewise Hindustan's sacred
bo-tree. Their banyan, whoso
many trunked branches some
times can shade a thousand
humans, is another of the fig
clan. .. ,
Mulberry's cousins further
include the tropical bread
fruit. This supposedly fed th;
Maori canoemen who discov
ered New Zealand. Yet an
other is the paper mulberry
base of the tapa cloth, admir
ed by South Seas' tourists.. -,
Is it not fun to trace friend
or fig trees kinships? . ,
