Twenty years ago, only readers of science fiction, and a few far-seeing scientists, ever seri ously considered the proposition that men might someday stand on the moon, or on Mars, or even consider crossing the immense void which separ ates our own little solar system from other parts of our galaxy. Ten years ago it was no longer considered wild to think that maybe, some day, in a century or two, science would progress to a point where in terplanetary travel would become possible. AND as recently as five years ago, it was an "optimist indeed who foresaw a man on the moon in this century. Today, however, it is beginning to appear likely that this could happen within the decade. And as the accelerating rate of research, experi mentation and speculative thought (all of them prerequisites to space flight) indicates the neces sary breakthroughs could Once the first big made, the technology that permitted it to happen could also send terrestial vehicles to Mars or Venus soon thereafter. IIITH this preliminary goal actually in sight, and who - knows - what sort of scientific and technological breakthroughs in the offing, some attention has turned to what will be found when men reach toward The "little man from the rounds in recent years (they're old stuff to science fiction buffs). But underlying them is serious consideration and serious concern in sci entific and theological circles. The New York Times comments: "What would be the result o our making contact with other intelligent life in the universe? . . . Now the topic has received the dignity of being considered in a formal report prepared by the Brook ings Institution for the government. This report raises the question of whether our civilization could survive if confronted by a superior extraterrestrial society. At the least, the discovery of any kind of extrater ristrial life would force the revision of many ideas which lie behind traditional thinking." IT WOULD indeed. ' 1 Such revisions have been forced on men, sometimes against their Ihe flat world which was the center or the universe ; the round world around which all crea tion spun both of these ancient concepts went down the drain with the discoveries of Coperni cus, Brahe, Kepler, Galileo and Newton. We now know that we are inhabitants of a tiny planet, circling a smallish sun, tucked way off along the edge of a galaxy incorporating bil lions of stars, and -which lions of such aggregations of stars, planets, and masses of gas and insterstellar dust. IF, then, it were found that any substantial num- ber of the billions of planets contain intelligent life (and who can say they dont.') it would force a major revolution in our earth-centered thinking a change almost as shattering as was the acceptance of the theory of human evolution, which upset the theological world a little more than a century ago. If we do make contact with extraterrestrial intelligence, superior to us in any significant de gree, what will be the consequence? (Jould we, proud humans, reconcile ourselves to being "second best" to Could we, steeped in ogy, make the mental and emotional leap to concepts with a far broader base? These must be some the astronomers are asking themselves as they train their radiotelescopes on far-off stars, half hoping and half-fearing to. receive the ordered radiations which mean someone else is out there, that mankind is not unique and all alone. E.A. Camping Fee Proposal We have been concerned, and so have the United States forest service and a lot of other state and local agencies, explosion as it applies to outdoor camping. For years, public agencies have been con structing and maintaining public camps at no cost 10 me camping puonc, using general revenues. More recently, this practice has been ques tioned, on the basis that those who use them ought to pay for them or at least pay a higher proportion of their cost than those who do not. THIS is one of the questions the county court is nnw RYVPiih'no nupr in pnnnpntimi wrilVi fhn camping facilities at Howard Prairie Lake. And it is of concern to the Rogue River Na tional forest particularly at such heavily-used facilities as Lake of the Woods and Fish Lake. The state some time ago began charging for overnight use of its public camping facilities. The National parks have long charged a modest fee. In our experience, those who use these facili ties are more than happy to pay a small overnight charge (usually $1 per night) for clean and well-cared-for facilities. IN the case of the forest service a difficulty has sometimes been in collecting such fees. Congressman Joseph W. Ban- of Indiana, who recently completed a nationwide forest service camping tour, now proposes that $5 windshield stickers for care be sold allowed in any overnight forest service facility; the receipts to go for their construction, main tenance and upkeep. It makes sense, and we hope it gets some ser ious consideration. E.A. come even sooner. leap to the moon is the stars.

SO-Plus Poem To the Editor: So many members requested this "scribbliation" that I haven't time to write it for them. Thanks, and Season's wishes for the very best for you and yours. Pearl F. Spackman, Jacksonville, Ore. Togetherness When oldsters get together As we have here today, You know of what I'm thinking Of the words I wish to say. Sometimes I forget about Santa Claus And good works he used to do, But I'm sure I've memories in common With those of you and you and you. Our kiddies have grown and moved away Taking our grandchildren, young and spry. Of course some have few memories To help Old Father Time get b.v: But we, with friendship's togetherness, Have learned to know each other well. For we're Fifty Plus Club members Sharing Joys that naught can quell. Each smile we smile, each message sent, Each call voiced over the 'phone Gives its added Season's Joy; Makes us know we're not alone. Resolved: that no harsh words escape us No frown creeps 'cross a brow. Let the clean-slated New Year that's stealing in Help us to keep this vow. We've read, that Christ loves children: We've proof that he loves us, too. Or he wouldn't have let us grow so "big. I didn't say "old," did you? As long as we live we ll Be loval: Good chcor will remain with us. We'll work, we'll play, we will sing together Every week at the Fifty Plus. Old Soldier To the Editor: Just a few more words before the close of 1960, then maybe I will shut my mouth too. It is very hard for a bunch of old fight ing men to pick up the news papers and reach such head lines as: Laos War Threaten ed, Nasser Threatens War, 130th Warning Marks Holi day, Castro Makes Big Deal With Nikita. If our ex-Soldier President had forcefully warned that long whiskered Ho-Bo long ago to pipe down, things would be different today. Now every two - bit insurrccto thinks that he, too. can slap us and then run to his pal Nikita for help. The propaganda broadcast to these countries is ridicu lous, but we sit back and sigh. As an ex-soldier, I think that Ike is leaving the coun try in a heck of a condition, and as a Politician, I think that he should have stayed in the Army. Happy New Year. Malemute Slim, White City, Ore. "P-U" Said the Skunk To the Editor: We read with interest Mr. Widmer's letter regarding smoke, liquor and poisons. Some will argue that tobacco is not a poison or in jurious, even though it has been proven injurious to lung cancer and heart disease. If it is not a poison then why is it that government hospitals that handle nicotine inmates only have made arrangements with tha tobacco companies ...if yaf& quc( enough to use the nicotine which has been brought out of the bodies of these inmates through steam baths and run into a vat where it is then processed into a spray called "Black Leaf Forty" and labeled "Poi son." If this spray kills in sects, what will it do to hu mans? It used to be that hospitals and doctors' offices would have a sign "No Smoking Please." But now it seems there is no restraint. Probably because so few heeded the request. Some people will even smoke in a sick room without asking permission. We did see one sign in a doc tor's office that read "No smoking please, it is offensive to some and harmful to all." If smokers wish to commit suicide the slow way, it seems they should have respect for others, especially in a sick room and not fill it with smoke, but be courteous to leave the room. Why should hospitals have to put a smok er and a non-smoker in the same room? When it's diffi cult to breathe and the room is full of foul smoke, it doesn't help the patient to improve. Some hospitals have vending machines as do other public places, where even a child can get ciragreties, yet it is against the state law to sell to minors. N Yes, tobacco may have its use for spray to kill pests, but not for the benefit of health for the human body.

Hospital Needs To the Editor: Seven years ago when we came to Medford I first heard of Mercy Flights and decided to contribute to it as a very fine enterprise. Mercy Flights has now con tributed to me by taking me up to the Veterans Adminis tration Hospital in Vancouver on election day and I much appreciate the speed and ease with which they worked. George Milligan as pilot and Hank Hart as co-pilot did a perfect job and pleasantly took me up on what turned out to be a very nice day, May I also mention the co operation of Medford Ambu lance Service, and was happy to assist in routing their bill through the proper channels as I imagine they help out in times of distress and often have to wait a long time for their return. The hospital at Vancouver is staffed by most capable dedicated doctors and a friendly group of nurses and nursing aids. Except for the fact that I was anxious to be at home I enjoyed and cer tainly benefited by the care I was given. The physical thera py was particularly helpful to me and I am now planning to install a bar in our house (parallel, that is) so that 1 can continue the helpful exer cise that did me so much good Considering the fact that two of us in my ward were from Mcdford, two from Grants Pass and one from Coos Bay, one is inclined to think about the possibility of some day having hospital fa cilities available closer to their homes for southern Ore gon and northern California veterans. I can't help but think of the empty, unused buildings available at the White City Domiciliary and in my layman's thinking, hope that soma day they can be Gossip About Polities! Fukweot two Kennedy By LYLE C. WILSON Washington - (UPI) - The po litical word today is that brother Bobby Kennedy will have an es cape hatch from the Jus t i c e Depart m e n t if he wants it. It would be a chance to go to the U. S. Senate in 1962. There wilunn will uc a ial 1962 Senate election in Massachusetts for the final two years of the term of President-elect John F. Kennedy. The president-elect resigned his Senate seat last week. Hill To Submit Bill On Barge Control Salem -UIPD- Public Utility Commissioner Jonel C. Hill said Tuesday he will submit a bill in the 1961 legislature calling for abolition of state controls over barge lines. The law, passed 11 years ago, was designed to nave barge firms pay fees compar able to truckers and railroads. A 1951 federal court decision said the state has no author ity over barges on the Colum bia river and the law now ap plies to the Willamette river only. Hill said along with the Co lumbia, harbors and the coast are exempt and the law is "meaningless" and should be removed from the books. The fee now collected by the state for administering the law is one tenth of one per cent. A few barge operators still are paying this. Gun Handling Promotion Lauded Portland - IUP1I - The Stale Game commission said today that for the second year in a row it has received an award of merit from the National Rifle association for its efforts in promoting safe gun han dling in Oregon. Oregon was rated as one of the top 10 states in the nation for outstanding achievement in hunter safety training dur ing the year. utilized for hospital facilities. White City, or Camp White as I know it, already has a very good dental department, an x-ray department, a fire department and adequate wa ter and sewer systems. Al though it does not have a med ical school in the backyard, it is close enough to Portland so that specialists and con sultants could readily be brought down by plane, per hapes on a recurring system if training were needed for local personnel. It is my im pression that the veterans themselves actually prefer resident physicians rather than changing interns. So in every way I feel that a great service might be rend ered in the opening of addi tional facilities in ths area. Veldon J. Diment 213 Portland ave. Medford Happy New Year? To the Editor: It was the day after Christ mas and all over the place Employees were resuming the 'Old Rat Race'. The Boss man s greeted each one with a sneer; Gone was all the Merry Christmas cheer; Well might his secretary be out of sorts, Her desk was piled high with reports and reports; Like it or not, she had no choice, She had to get out that an nual invoice. Even the jaintor was up on his ear, The once clean floors were covered with smear; When in came the errand boy, whistling and gay. As if il were still the glad Christmas day. The Boss man growled, "What's wrong with you, Mike?" "Oh, sir," said the boy. "Santa brought me a bike. Now I can run errands in half the time And you won't say again I'm not worth a dime." The Boss man smiled, took the hand of the lad, "Well, good for you, and for that I am glad." The workers all smiled at the happy boy. They were glad to share some of his joy. The dreary day had somehow grown brighter; Each worker felt his task had grown lighter. Because of a boy who was full of good cheer And willing to help make it a HAPPY NEW YEAR. L. G. W. 106 South Ivy st. Medford j Brothers Mentions aenatorship Gov. Foster Furcolo of Massachusetts named to the vacancy 43-ycar-old Benjamin A. Smith II, of Gloucester, Mass. Smith was John F. Kennedy's Harvard room male. Furcolo acknowledged in announcing Smith's ap pointment that the pick had been by the president-elect. Kennedy is known to have told Furculo bluntly that the Kennedys did not want a per son named now to the Senate vacancy who would desire to continue in the Senate beyond 1962. Furculo May Run This was stipulated to pro tect Bobby from having to run in 1962 - if he wants to run - against an incumbent. Furculo's announcement said Smith had agreed to be a two year senator, no more. Fur culo also has said that he might, himself, be a candidate History Repeats: Mr. Talk With By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst History does repeat itself.

IX.' ef I Advice on Foreign Policy Pours In To resicienr - By RICHARD SPONG One thing President-elect Kennedy will not lack ad vice. He had a reputation in the Senate for unusual diligence in keeping himself informed. His scholarship was more gen erally demonstrated in the presidential campaign. And in the interim between election and inauguration he has been receiving reports from his "brain trust" on a wide range of subjects, including national defense, governmental organi zation, depressed areas, and. most importantly, foreign policy. Some of this advice is ex tremely informal. For ex ample, he will get a report from three Democratic . sen ators who recently completed, in the company of Ted Ken nedy, the President-elect's younger brother, a tour of 16 African countries. Interview ed on Dec. 21, they said they would recommend a pro Africa policy, including sup port for an independent Al geria and a stronger United Nations role in the Congo. Other Groups Kennedy will also receive foreign policy recommenda tions from a dozen groups and sub-groups on such concerns as economic policy, including the balance-of-payments and gold outflow problems, for eign aid, trade, the role of U.S. Information Agency, dis armament, and relations with specific areas. One example: Gov. G. Mcn ncn Williams of Michigan, designated Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, has been so busy with foreign policy briefings, and with term-end cares of state, that he is postponing his planned African tour until after In auguration Day. The appointment of Wil liams, or at least its liming, has raised some fears among U.S. friends in Latin America and Europe. Thai an assistant for a specific area should he named before Ihe top man or, as it appeared, even before the top man had even been selected - led to the anticipa tion that area would receive undue attention (translated as economic aid! to the neglect of other areas. Others Criticized The same criticism was made, in a sense, of oiher Ken nedy appointments in the State Department. Both Dean Rusk and Under Secretary Chester Bowles have concen trated, diplomatically, on Asia; it is feared they too will be preoccupied with their best-known friends. Choosing Adlai E. Stevenson as Am bassador to the United Nations was taken in some quarters as meaning that the world body will play an even greater role in future American diplo macy, to the disadvantage if the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization and other regional alliances. ! for the Democratic senatorial nomination in 1!)K2, regard- less of the Kennedys. The idea of an escape hatch from the Justice Department for Bobby does not connote tha-t he might run for the Senate in 1962 if he goofed' in the cabinet as attorney general. A cabinet officer who flubs his job is not likely to hazard further embarrassment by seeking major elective of fice. It is likely, however, that the Senate is now and will be in 1962 more attractive to brother Bobby than a cabinet post. He was always reluctant to accept the attorney general ship. Those lawyers who serve as counsel in big-lime senator ial investigations more often than not develop a great de sire to be senators. Brother Ted, Too The Boston Globe said last New President He also said he would co operate in a new diplomatic attempt to end the Korean War. "The U.S.S.R.," ho said, "is interested in ending the war in Korea." - In eight years the world has gone full circle and except for a difference in names and places this is where we came in.

Prime Minister Harold Mac millan o Great Britain on Dec. 20 lolcl the House ot Commons Ihat he would dis cuss a summit meeting in his first exchanges with Ihe Ken nedy people. Response Cool The response is hound lo be cool. Kennedy repeatedly in the campaign ruled out a summit unless "there were preparations . . . which would give us reasonable certainty . . . (of) some success." And Dean Rusk had laid clown this ground rule for any future President mnnths before the campaign began: Summit diplomacy is lo be approached with the wariness with which a prudent phy sician prescribes a habit-forming drug - a technique lo be employed rarely and under the most exceptional circum stances, witli rigorous safe guards against its becoming a debilitating or dangerous habit. - Seismograph Records Quake Near Seattle Seattle - UPH - The Uni versity of Washington's seis mograph recorded a "moder ately strong" earthquake at 2:37 a.m. Tuesday, centered about 330 miles Irom Seattle.
