In Praise of Rime s' The waves come rushing to the waiting shore, In ceaseless pounding at a rhythmic pace; Each breaking splash sounds like the one before As one by one the waves complete their race. " But still we see distinction in detail: Some struggle further and more loudly crash As unrelentingly the rocks they flail, And as they strike, their foaming fangs they flash. - But lesser ripples on the sloping sand Just kiss each pebble warming in the sun, " Then softly slipping down the moistened strand, Anon they lose themselves, their course is run. y ' The charging breakers sounding on the beach, Each wavelet, noiseless in its shy advance, The welcome rimes of Nature plainly teach, The charms of Nature's art indeed enhance. Chill Shadow ". To the Editor: That gold is where you find it, is as true ' today as it was to the old-time '"' mining man. It also has wide . variety of v interpretations. Like the second Medford businessman who took time . ; out to compliment me on my , publicity condemned defense of the branded, fined and jailed electrical officials. Understandably, the Med- ford businessmen do not want -.to be identified, though both . mentioned names of the elec trical men they claimed to know, speaking of them as men above average in civic . affairs and concern for their fellow men. To my way of thinking, such men had to be . Just that. For they were the ones who consented to be the goats in being branded as - common criminals, fined, Jailed and put on probation - of good behavior. This mind - you, that their fellow officials could escape popular public eomdemnation. Just what was the "sin" of these men representing their companies? As told to me, and verifying ' my own rea soning, they met in secret agreement with other electri cal executives to agree on a base rate below which they would not go in bidding on . government and other coh : tracts. Why? Just plain grim survival as a going concern, brief life to give? will 'persevere see God," and live. Mildred Allen Jeffery Medford . Robert Krposdrna Tacoma. Washington which a growing number of industrial firms have failed to do, proven by the sharply rising rate of bankurptcies. My friends agreed with me in principle, that it was ridiculous to think that In this day of fiercest competition; r nHn.m jt amir lrtnrl fit tnanil. facturers could secretly agree to an out-of-line rise in con tract bidding prices. How Joy ful competitors would rise to such a challenge, foreign es pecially. Reported In the March 27 U.S. News and World Report, page 119, left column, "Ten years ago, in 1950, corporate profits were r-.ore than 9 per cent of national income. By I960 they had been squeezed down by more than one third to only about 5V4 per cent of national Income. t ..-". . . While hourly wage rates have gone up 52 per cent In a 10 year period." , All in all, this so called trial in a U.S. District court casts a chill shadow that is difficult to put into words, as it can be felt better than emplained. Barging in on us so suddenly, call it commu nism, antl-Wall-streetism, big busipessism or any other "ism," we do have a standard of living next to none, thanks to Industries that do survive. F. J.

To the Editor: In response to my suggestion for a "Let's Appreciate - No Complaint" week during Easter, my desk is flooded with mall, about 70 per cent approval and enthus iastic on the idea. It is heartwarming to real ize most people prefer to be loving and tolerant, rather than" critical of his fellow man. It there is anything this world is seriously in need of, it's "Love and Tolerance." - I can't think of a better time to express these two es sentials than right now, and Incidentally, those . feelings are very contagious. Who knows how far it might spread, and what good accom plished, if we here In the most beautiful spot in the na tion would "sow the seeds" of the example set before us by the only "perfect" Man there ever will be. : . Let's show our faith, and appreciation of His sacrifice by our own conduct, in ap preciation, tolerance, and gen uine love of our fellow man, regardless of race or religion. All humanity Is approximate ly 90 per cent decent and good, if we restrain our pompous" ideas of Judging him, and replace that with the warmth of human kind ness he so needs. Let's take this Easter week to throw out the "self ego" in our natures, the urge to convince others only WE have the best way to do things. Let's thaw that "iceberg" we call our hearts, and let the basic good In the most of us flow out' to others who feel lonely and confused. We may (discover a new re spect for ourselves, even, certainly greater happiness. Each of us could fill a book with our blessings. Let s share them. And now, to the staff of the Mail Tribune, I would say thank you for your fine paper, for your tolerance In reading and editing our badly written letters, our com plaints, and gripes. . For a thousand good friends and neighbors in this area, and for the privilege of living among them - all these things and more I do sincerely ap preciate. A very Happy Easter to all Mary Williams .

To the 90 per cent who sent warm, friendly let ters and lovely cards, I am extremely grateful. The Hot Gorge Rites To the Editor: If the law less, unconstitutional behav ior of Chief Justice Earl War ren and his concurring col leagues, as they make a mock ery of our Supreme Court, brings the hot gorge up in your throat, you are in learned and distinguished company. For the brazen, criminal, pro-Red rulings of this Court has brought down the wrath and the castigating condemnation of scores of our Congressmen, and practically all of our State Supreme Court Justices. Furthermore, the American Bar Association, representing 200,000 American attorneys and judges with the best legal brains of the nation, has listed 20 Decisions of the Warren Court, over a period of just two years, which are aiding and abetting the Communist Conspiracy in America. Now, get a good grip on yourself and read the follow ing slowly. On Feb. 19-21, 25-28 and Mar. 3, 4, 1958, in a hearing before our Internal Security Subcommittee, the SPX Research Associates pre sented overwhelming, docu mented evidence which brand ed the Warren Court as prob ably the most Important in strument of the Communist Conspiracy in their program Conquest. This Re- port was suppressed. The gen eral public never got to read It. , There are now approxi mately three dozen major, "Red" Decisions of this Court which are giving vast, untold "aid and contort" to our mor tal enemy, the Communist Conspiracy, in this country decisions that have torn gap ing holes in our precious Con stitution; that have reinstated fired Communists in teaching jobs in our schools, and in sensitive Government jobs, WITH BACK PAY; that have left sovereign States helpless in the face of subversion and treason; that have freed con victed traitors; hamstrung our Congressional Comm 1 1 1 e e s; and handcuffed our FBI; that have struck down practically every bulwark this Nation has raised between America and the Great Red Conspiracy. If we, the American people, take this laying down, we don't deserve the free Amer ica we are now living in. We don't deserve anything better MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON are now getting under their cruel masters, including ter ror of Secret Ponce, slave labor camps, and ' execution squads. If you think "Justice" War- ren should be impeached be fore he utterly destroys our American' way of life, then PLEASE, for the love of hu manity, write our Congress man, Edwin R. Durno, House Office Building, Washington, D.C., and tell him so, not just once, but again and again. L, C. Powell , , , 316 S.E. Eighth st. , Grants Pass, Ore. The Perfect Switch To the Editor: With the an nouncement from Los Angeles by Eason Monroe that, "The Amerioan Civil Liberties Un ion opposes .the investigation of the John Birch Society by either the congress or the legislature of the state of Call-fornia"-here is the perfect switch, for the John Birch Society has pointed the finger of unpatriotic action' at the ACLU for some time. It finds the accused coming to the defense of the prosecutor.., It is understandable why the ACLU doesn't want the Starts Tomorrow!

American people to know that there is an organization strong enough to back up the expression of Patrick Henry when he said "give me lib erty or give me death," for this Is what the members of the John Birch society be lieve. ' We welcome an investiga tion. The public should kniw what is back of all this c&sti gation of the John BircU so-ciety-they most emphatically oppose the record cf Earl Warren, our .Supreme Court chief justice, for he has voted 93 per cent of the time for Communist causes.

Warren Gutches 6119 Crater Lake Hwy. Medford. Temperance Films . To the Editor: It isn't often that you can take a trip down through the air passages into the lungs, and see what goes on down there as a person breathes, particularly as that SEARS V I v. I w I I I . I person smokes a cigarette. This is what you can do, however, in' the brand new film, "Time Pulls the Trig ger." This film, excellent for educational purposes, com bines action that is partly live and partly animated. By means of a cartoon sequence the effect of smoking on the lungs and the blood circula tion is made unusually clear and graphic. The impact of this full col or film is tremendous and un forgettable. The message of "Time Pulls the Trigger," is accurate, med ically and scientifically, yet the story is told in a popular way easily followed by all, young and old. This new film, along with another brand new one, are beL-g given several free show ings here in- the valley this week end. The other new film Is titled, "5-7:30." This one really appeals to teen-agers and shows the actual results of America's cocktail time, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. There will be a final free showing Sunday, April 1, at the Ashland Assembly of God church. These two films will highlight the regular Sunday evening service. The Amer ican Temperance Society is promoting these worthwhile films. The writer of this let ter has viewed them both. I can. assure everyone they'll never regret the time spent In viewing them. . ' Henry Johnson, Jr. 2315 Highway 66 Ashland, Ore. Assorted group' Shirtwaist Dresses, broken size range...4.

The Mimimum Wage Vote To the Editor: Much has ap peared in your paper recently criticizing Representa tive Durno for his vote against the administration's minimum wage law. Mr. Nor ton of Phoenix and Mr. Straub of Eugene have gone so far as to suggest that single handedly. Representative Durno has stopped the Ken nedy administration from the accomplishment of its pur pose in this field. The current House is com posed of 261 Democrats and 176 Republicans. Here in the Fourth District we should be proud indeed of a freshman congressman who can over come an overwhelming ma jority of opposition arrayed against him and work his will upon the nation. This, of course, is foolish ness. Almost as foolish as the attempt to legislate wage levels. The whole history of human freedom has been the struggle against governmen tal power. When the children of Israel spoke , to ' Samuel saying "Give us a King to rule us," this wise man warned them of the disastrous effects of unlimited govern mental power. From that day to this the lesson of history is clear. Freedom, security, prosperity are matters of in dividual attainment, not gov ernmental edict. Speaking directly to the point, the minimum wage law in and of itself is not a guarantee of prosperity and happiness for all.

To deny that this can be and should be done by the individual is to deny the dignity and worth of man. Dick House 711 East Main st. Medford Fear Not Death To the Editor: In regard to a communication by Mr. Da vid Frisch, who seems to be somewhat concerned about heaven being over-crowded. What, know you not sir, that you and all this multi tude were sons of God in heaven, for is it not recorded in the Bible when the Lord said to Job "when all the sons of God jump with joy,'' he spoke here of a thing that was, but is not now? And Satan being great in glory, took glory tj himself, and he bad many followers, and he sought to overthrow the Fa ther and be as the most high God. And there was war in heaven, Michael and his an gels fought against Satan and his angels, and Satan prevail ed not; neither was their place found any more In heaven. But Satan and his angels find ing fault with all the angels of hesven, "except Jesus," and this is why It it said of Save on Men's and Boy's Wear Men's Sport Coats, : Reg. to U. :...( Men's Bedford Cord and Polished Cotton Pants Men's Short Sleeve Sport Shirts Men'i White Dress Shirts, Reg. 2.H9 and 3.99 'Men's Sweat Shirt, Sma'l and Medium Boys' Broadcloth Shirts, Speolal .

And thiough our sins we lost the right to be sons of God. And the Fa ther said to Jesus, "I give you the heathen for an Inherit-, ance." And thereby he made the heaven and earth that we know, and put us here in our appointed times in the flesh without knowledge of former things, and . Jesus himself came and sinned not in the flesh, and this is why the F-ther said this day I have begotten thee again. For he sinned not either in heaven or earth, and he laid down his life tor our sins, that who soever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlast ing life, who so ever loveth or feareth the Father will be lieve in him. And those who do not, their lord cometh In this generation, and It is he who the Lord spoke of when he said "I have come in my Fathers name, me you will not believe but he that cometh hi his own name you will' oeueve. : ; ';'' I.
