Christmas Present
To the Editor: The Republi
cans are preparing to pass the
Buck to the Democrats. That's
going to be the Democrats
Christmas present, a 48c hot
potato in a paper sack.

Help th Babes
To the Editor: Under the
Lost and Found column of this
paper is a little advertisement.
It's like so many other ads ap
pearing there, sort of "plead
ing," but highly doubtful.
Only I happen to know this
particular ad has a tragic lit
tle story.
I am just a friend and
neighbor of the family who so
unfortunately lost a box of
clothing, linens, children's
clothes, etc., of no particular
value to anyone other than the
family to which they belong.
I feel it should be known
that a little widowed mother
of two babies suffered this
loss, and is1 seriously in need
of the box and contents. In
cluded in the package are also
the babies' birth certificates
and a watch that is of senti
mental value.
The box was somehow
jogged off an old trailer
around noon, between Grants
Pass and Gold Hill. I had
hoped some good person
would come on it, or return it
to the state or local police, as
all have been notified. As yet
there has been no response to
the ad.
The mother is in near hys
terics over the loss. If any of
you good people reading this
can give us any information
at all regarding the where
abouts of these lost articles,
would you please call?
Right now, when we are
about to honor the birth of
a cherished Babe of history, is
a very good time to remember
there are also little babes
right here, to whom we can
lend a little love too, by help
ing their worried mother lo
cate their lost possessions.
Any information will be sin
cerely appreciated.

Eternal Vigilance
To the Editor: Replying to
Vern Wolthoff's letter on the
riot film-he states, "In the in
terest of accuracy," then goes
on to say "so far as I know,"
which sort of destroys his ac-curacy-and
then implies that
the un-American Activities
committee employs the "Big
Lie" technique, which tends
to put a doubt in the mind of
the reader which, and to use
Mr. Wolthoff's own words,
"whether this waf done delib
erately or not"-has the same
effect of aiding and abetting
the Communist line. It is this
assist that the Communists get
that is so dangerous..
Mr. Wolthoff's statement that
the facts were distorted is of
small significance when com'
pared to the fact that the stu-
dents WERE THERE and DID
. kiut and used communistic
tactics in doing so. One would
ask Mr. Wolthoff-"Why are
you defending them?" These
riots have been going on in
other parts of the world, they
helped overthrow Syngman
Rhee in Korea, and similar
student Communist inspired
riots both in Japan and Tur
key, but this is the first time
that the Communists have felt
bold enough to try it on Amer
ican soil and makes it visi
ble that "what can't happen
here, is already beginning to
heppen." When Communist in-
pired riots attack the com
mittee hearings so viciously,
from the outside, as to hoe
down or prevent the normal
functioning of such a duly es-
taonsned committee of the
United States Congress, it is
time for good Americans to
come to their senses. It is time
for every good American to
begin supporting this commit
tee, instead of finding fault
with it.
The Congressional Record
may show fewer Communists
today, yet the fact that Con
gress has appropriated a large
sum of money for this com-
mittee s use only shows the
success of the committee's
work, and the seriousness of
the situation. It is easily un
derstood why Communists
would like to kill this commit
tee. In answer to the query,
wnat is the John Birch Soci
ety?", the John Birch Society
a group of Americans
throughout the nation dedi
cated to the task of eliminat
ing the Communist influence
our country.
Abraham Lincoln told is
that if this country is ever
conquered it will be from
within and not from without
we should be ever mindful
that eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty. I am certain
that Mr. Wolthoff subscribes
both of these.

No Fur Coat
To the Editor: Where has
our Freedom gone? I have no
shed to keep my wood dry, I
have no garage to keep my
car dry.
Boy! O boy, thanks to 55
per cent of the people on Ben
son st. They think I need a
beautiful $825 paved street in
front of my home. So my chil
dren can go with a little less
food and a little less clothing.
If I was to buy a $825 fur
coat and let my children go
with a little less food and a
little less olothlng, which one
of these 55 per cent would be
the first to turn me in to the
child welfare board?
Would it be you or you, or
maybe you?

She Says "Amen"
To the Editor: In regard to
Ella L. Fitzsimmons' letter re
ferring to the $500,000 Me
morial to Pearl Harbor - all
I can say is "AMEN."
It seems that $500,000
could be put to much better
use than building a stone
monument that will actually
do nothing for any of us.

They're Grateful
To the Editor: When trouble
comes we find how many
wonderful people there are in
the world, and the many
wonderful friends we have.
This is to say thanks from the
bottom of our hearts to all
who were so thoughtful and
generous when we had the
misfortune, of losing our
home, and everything in it, by
fire a short time ago.
Our new home is started
nd when it is finished we
would like to welcome any or
all of you.
May God bless you and give
each of you a very happy
Christmas.

Mankind Unco Weak
To the Editor: Philosopher
To the Editor: Philnsnnhor.
Poet Robert fiirn one
rimed:
But, och! mankind are unco
weak
An' little to be trusted;
If self the wavering balance
shakes
It's seldom right adjusted .
Which gives understanding
to veteran columnist Joe Al-
sop, reporting from Bonn via
the Mail Tribune Nov. 27. In
near insulting sarcasm, he
tells of the Anderson-Dillon
team arrival there for a
straight answer of West Ger
many's making at least part
payment on bed and board
for U.S.A. fighting forces
there, at their request, to help
tend on the Russian bear.
snarling at their very door
step. That they got a decided
no from practical-minded
Adenauer, sitting securely atop
his unmortgaged gold reserve,
seemed to be mighty pleasing
to reporter Joe. He even criti
cized and ridiculed the U.S.
team for holding for the U.S.A.
army maintainence costs, that
they should have gone along
with the West Germans on
their requested general eco
nomics discussions.
The "wavering balance"
seems to have been more
rightly adjusted by the Asso
ciated Press reporting from
London via the Christian Sci
ence Monitor, Nov. 29.
The conservative Daily Mail
said: "The Americans, who
have played fairy godmother
to Europe for so long, are
getting tough about their for
eign policy.
America could balance its
books tomorrow by cutting
down foreign aid alone. Brit
ain, along with the rest of
the western alliance, must ac
cept the cort of alliance.
'European prosperity is
founded on American gener
osity," said the conservative
Daily Mail. The imperialist
Daily Express said: "Britain's
policy and duty are clear: to
squeeze the (support costs)
money out of Germany on the
Americans account and to
bring her own soldiers home.
She (Germany) sits on her
growing pile of gold-($8,400,-000,000,
three times the Brit
ish total) while the sons Of
other nations defend her."
And whp, in obvious self-
party interest, started the
one time Confident dollar into
its present unstable and wav
ering balance? No other than
FDR who must have included
the world in his grandoise
fireside chat. "No man shall
go hungry," as he ladeled out
our tax-dollars here and there.
Party-liner HST boosted it
along, its happy world-acceptance
momentum carrying on
through the Eisenhower ad
ministration, whose persistent
veto did slow it down some
what.
So, whichever one it Is
getting the electoral college
nod. we must hope for and
h 'p to get the American dol
lar rightly adjusted.
