Ki1tJof..i.he Dark Chamber," by Rabindranath Tagore. And the
critic added: "Tajore, whose 100th birthday will be observed May 6,

George.
ASd Christian Century of August 20, 1941 wrote a few days
after his death: "By any clvlllied standard, Rabindranath Tagore was
one of the world's greatest men. When he died at the age of 0 in
his native city of Calcutta, he left behind thousands of poems and
aongs, scores of novels, dramas and' short stories, numerous books of
essays and of history and many paintings, the latter done by his own
hand after he had reached 68 ... To Tagore the faith that there Is
one God of love required him to give his life In working for one
community of mankind. So he founded his International university
and wrote: 'The most Important of all facts In the present age Is that
the East and West have met"
A year before his death, It was my high privilege to be a guest

not far from Calcutta. I found in hi, warm and almnle humanltv and
his sensitivity to grandeur and beauty of nature a likeness to Walt

life and work was his love of God and man which "he preached
with prophetic . fire and illumlnted with ' the Infinite variety of his
Sifted Imagination." something of this spirit Is evidenced In the follow

Stolen Property ., !
, To the Editor: To the par
ents of the teen age thieves:
'i Saturday night a sign was
stolen from our property, and
we would like it back. So,
Dear Parent; if in your boy's
or girl's room you find this
sign, kindly return it. It's
stolen property.
.. The sign is 2V4 by 2V4. The
.background is white. There is
a large pink bee hive, stand
ing at the door are two bees
painted black and yellow. The
hive has green grass at .the
base. The lettering on the
sign, is thus:
, The B's
" " " of
Honey Hill
s. Do we have to stand shot
gun over our property to pro
tect it from kids that are
roaming the backwoods look
ing for trouble?
' We can if we have to, so
don't make the mistake of
coming back, except to return
the sign, or take it to the Jack
son county sheriff's depart
ment. Mrs. S. Browning,
Dark Hollow rd.,

Deer (Not Fish) Story
; To the Editor: Chance and
good luck often correct many
a mistake. The truth of it was
proven to me after reading
this fish story from the Ash
land man. I bet the Ozarks
fish are fast. That is why
perhaps most fishermen from
Missouri use a tranquilizer
pill on their bait. Man slow
fhat fish down, and enjoy
your fish and meat. ,'
s Let me tell you, however,
what I have seen with my own
eyes. One day while hunting
deer high up in the Cascade
region, when I had spent all
rny shot, I found myself un
expectedly in front of the
rnost stately stag in the coun
try. He looked at .me as un
concernedly as if he ' knew
that my gun was empty. In
stantly I charged my gun with
powder and put on top a hand
ful of cherry stones from
which I had eaten the flesh
as fast as the hurry permitted.
i let fly and hit him right
ih the middle of the forehead,
between his antlers. The shot
stunned him. He staggered.
Yet he ran off. " ,
t Some five years later I was
hunting in the very same for
est and - lo and behold -there
appeared a stately stag
with a full grown cherry tree
more than ten feet high be
tween his antlers. I recalled,
of course, my previous adven
ture and, considering the deer
my old property I brought
him down with a single shot,
which gave me the venison
and the cherry-sauce that goes
with it, for the. tree was cov
ered with fruit more delicious
than I had ever tasted in all
my life. ; V
.. You see, one has to know
how to get along in this world.
I . truly appreciate the. wide
and open forest country and
her cherry-flavored venison.

Quarantine Against
Pine Moth Noted
A quarantine - against the
European Pine shoot moth has
been announced; by the state
department of agriculture in
the interest of prospective tree
planters.
The European Pine shoot
moth has been found on orn
amental pines in the northern
Washington areas. The regula
tions are believed necessary to
protect the native pine forests
in Oregon. f
An enemy of the ' young
pine trees, ' the "shoot moth
stunts i and ' deforms them,
lengthening the time to grow
a merchantable crop, and de
creases its value... , . .,
. Shipments of the trees to
Oregon must first be inspect
ed at the department of for
estry, 2600 State St.,- Salem.
Additional Information con
cerning the regulated trees
may be obtained from Rich

One, which would cross the
Willamette river as Oswego,
bears a $4.2 million price tag.
One near Dayton would cost

What a World!
To the Editor: Anyone born
in this country this century,
and still alive, has a right to
wonder why human life has
no more value than a cheap
commodity in the eyes of power-mad
ruling classes abroad
who are determined to rule
the world. He has had to live
through World Wars I and II
and the Korean conflict, and
may have to face World War
III.
.It is a mystery to this
writer why the Korean con
flict, so called, is not regard
ed as a war. Perhaps because
only 150,000 American casual
ties resulted from that "police
action." We are accustomed to
much larger totals. That shows
how far the world has prog;
ressed. ' ,
Now there is Communism.
Under that system of govern
ment God, religion, truth,
ethics and morality are only
for children, and to a limited
extent,' Adults don't believe
in such myths. The state is
supreme and where its su
premacy is challenged, sub
version, lying and cheating
are condoned and encouraged.
The object of world Commu
nism is to establish a .scien
tific society without religion.
What a world!

Farm Wages
To the Editor: It is increas
ingly disturbing to hear re-
marks concerning the propos
ed Union picketing of farms
to bring them into some sort
of organized labor control. A
day or two ago a woman was
heard to remark: "I sure wish
the unions would come to the
valley and make the orchard
people share up better with
labor in their big pear grow
ing profits." ''
Profits, What profits with
continued night smudging to
save the summer's pear crop?
And a phone call to a valley
pear grower as this is being
written, brings the hard fact
that some pear orchards, de
spite the heavy smudging,
have been so damaged that
red-ink is the end result. And
end of this heavy smudging
is nowhere within sight. The
orchard people must be on
the alert till June at least, re
membering that the heaviest
freeze in- many spots of the
valley came in early June
some ten years ago. - :;
Cost of oil for the pots is
oh the rise. Heavy pressure
is put on the orchardists to
change over to the new type
pot at $9 each that produces
less smoke, which they are
willing to do, but the steady
rise in supply costs as well
as wages prevents them doing
this. The heavy costs of wages
to teenagers for night care
of the orchard heating is a
welcome source of spending
money for the youngsters, but
the fact remains it is a case
of robbing Peter to pay Paul,
necessary though it is. j
But there are limits to what
agriculture can by forced to
pay in operating costs. A few
months ago in ; the Central
Valley of California, a series
of strikes and threats of more
in upping minimum wages re
sulted in the plowing under
of a reported 3,000 acres of
lettuce ready for harvest. The
land was seeded to crops in
volving less labor costs.
Today, as reported in the
Mail Tribune, the Senate at.
Salem voted to put a check
rein on farm picketing. Sen.
Lyndel Newbry from Talent
grimly remarked, "when the
farmer is under the gun, with
the whole of his crop tied up,
he is in no position to bar
gain.".
We have been greatly en
couraged with President Ken
nedy's resolute stand on many
of the day's problems, but we
cannot go for his drive in
upping of minimum wages.

The Meaning of "Fascist"
. To the Editor: I had begun
to think that our friend, Rob
ert J. Howard, was getting
himself out of the H.U.A.C
muddle (I still hope so), but
evidently he now has become
fascinated by the equally un-
American antics of the John
Birchers.
Bob seems to think that my
reference to the "fascist" John,
Birch Society is "name call
ing." Not at all. On the basis
of Robert Welch's "Blue
Book," that designation is an
accurate description of that
organization's character. Hav
ing attendedi lectures by kin
dred Nazi officials in Hitler's
Germany and Fascist function
aries under Mussolini's equal
ly rightist and benighted re
gime in Italy, and having
studied many of the writings
furnished me by them, the
John Birchers fit perfectly
into the fascist pattern-along
with the Joe McCarthys, John
Pelleys (of Silver Shirt ill
fame), et' al, ad nauseam.
For Bob Howard's enlight
enment, and that of all oth
ers harboring any Illusions on
the subject, I wish to quote
the pertinent, emphatic and
truly patriotic American com
ment of Dwight D. Eisenhower,-
while President, on this
same theme, although in an
other context. Back in 1953,
when Joe McCarthy's man
Friday, J. B. Matthews, had
declared in typically irrespon
sible fashion (like the John
Birch Society, the so-called
and ill-named "Christian Cru
sade" and "Freedom Crusade"
people of today), that the
Protestant churches ' were
heavily infiltrated by com
munists, Dr. John A. O'Brien
of Notre Dame, President Mau
rice H. Eisendrath of the Un
ion of American Hebrew Con
gregations, and Dr. John
Sutherland Bonnell of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
Church of New York, acting
jointly for the National Con
ference , of Christians and
Jews, had wired a protest to
the President against Mat
thews' attack on the loyalty
of Protestant clergy,' Mr. "Eis
enhower issued a blast, now
become historic, from which I
quote:
". . . Such attacks betray
contempt for the principles
of freedom and decency. And
when these attacks-whatever
their professed purpose be
condemn such a vast portion
of the churches or clergy as
to create doubts in the loyalty
of all, the damage to our na
tion is multiplied. . . . The
churches of America are cita
dels of our faith in individual
freedom and human dignity.
This faith is the living source
of all our spiritual strength.
And this strength is . our
matchless armor in our world
wide struggle against - the
force of godless tyranny- and
oppression." '
Of course, when Robert
Welch includes even Mr. Eis
enhower among the subver
sives, I suppose his foolish
followers in Jackson county
or elsewhere will discount the
former President's testimony.
But that only confirms their
own tragic befuddlement.

Economics and Civil Defense
To the Editor: Note the
Government is considering a
total embargo on all Cuban
trade. This should have been
done long ago-in order to
teach Castro a lesson in eco
nomics and its importance
even in a communistic re
gime. We have gotten along
quite well without their sugar;
tobacco is their next impor
tant export-and this commod
ity we need even less. So why
aid and comfort our confirm
ed enemy?
It will be very interesting
to see what kind of legisla
tion, if any, our lawmakers
come up with fixing the
prices of milk and gasoline.
If there be a Pandora's box,
let's hope good emits-not
evil. The old saying-"Compe-tition
is the life of trade" is
not significant today.
Oh hum! guess there is
nothing to worry about this
session, as vacation day has
been set, and doubt if any
thing can -change it.
The activity in Civil De
fense was well appraised in
your editorial of the 27th.
Its importance is probably
much greater than we realize
-since it is reported that Rus
sia is very active and ahead
of us in this respect. This is
significant-their apparent dif
ferences with China notwith
standing. They are the only
ones who really know if there
is to be a nuclear war. Their
total destruction will be more
difficult.

The Cougar Screamed
To the Editor: I have lis
tened to this argument about
whether cougars scream or
not until Mr. Kissinger said in
his "Fifial Answer," "most
likely no one has ever seen a
cougar visibly out in their
wild haunts screaming," and
now I have to get my two
cents worth in.
When I was living on my
ranch across the river from
the Texaco Station in Gold
Hill, where the Three Jays'
dairy is now, we heard a cou
gar scream in tne ma just
across the irrigation ditch
back of our place. It was just
a while after sunset on a
bright moonlight night after
we had killed a beef in our
barnyard and the head and
entrails were still lying where
it had been killed. Again we
heard the scream, this time
farther down the hillside.
My husband and daughter
took the gun and went out
side. We heard the cougar
coming down through our
woods pasture and I saw his
yellow eyes and heard him
scream as he came through
the fence into the barnyard.
My daughter tried to get a
shot at him but he was in the
shadow of the barn and after
he had smelled around the
kill he went through the back
fence by a little patch of corn
we had there.
Next morning we saw his
tracks around the kill.
Another time I heard the
same kind of a scream in the
hills back of Parker's house
by Raky Point bridge. It
sounds like, the high shrill
scream of a woman.

A Hard Pill
To the Editor: E. T. M I
agree, it is disgusting. "Take
Pearl, for instance." Unquote.
She's a hard pill to swallow.
I never read her nonsense.
How do I know that what
'tis? I write it.
If it weren't for the durn-
fool Pearls in this world, you
smarter folk would turn into
morbid, glum, unfunny, can
tankerous oysters.
. People can sit on' their cash
registers, too. Who wouldn t
if there wuz any cash in it?
(and had one.) The butcher,
the baker and the candle-stick
maker have their pear-picking
fingers groping for it.
I'm sorry that big cat fish
drug you through that Mis
souri puddle so fast like. An
Ozark sump is about the only
location where a sportsman
could catch on fire while wa'
ter skiing in such a sprawled
out position.
Gosh, Mr. M., you, worry
me. You has done got the

And if yuh hadn't been

If you ever got a kiss, I bet
you, you wouldn't keep it.

Over the past eight months.
the International Rescue Com
mittee has brought its 28
years of experience to a fast
focus on Cuban refugee needs
for f o o d, shelter, clothing,
jobs, medical care and under
standing counsel.' IRC has
raised' and expended a sub
stantial part of its planned $1
million program for Cuban
refugees
At the moment when its
sustaining arm is most vital,
IRC funds are almost exhaust
ed. Large sums are urgently
needed to enable IRC to con
tinue assistance during the
struggle. More money is also
required to assure swift aid
to new refugees who may be
forced to leave other Carrie-
bean countries if Castro and
his Communist allies try to
stage revolutions they have
been fomenting.
Federal officials have re
peatedly called for large
scale private programs by IRC
and other voluntary agencies
to supplement limited and re
stricted government funds.
We ask in this critical time
that you contribute generous

munist domination with a

Trucks and Highways
To the Editor: It is my be
lief that Governor Hatfield
must veto SB32, which pro
vides a reduction of $1 mil
lion per year in the weight
mile taxes now paid by heavy
haulers (NOT loggers) from
40,000 pounds upward. And it
is my hope that the people of
Oregon will emphatically sup
port the Governor in this ac
tion.
This is strictly a special in
terest measure pushed through
the Legislature by a skillful
and well-heeled lobby. The
heavy truckers have NOT
demonstrated NEED; on the
contrary no class of road us
ers has benefited so much
from the modernization of
our major highways - as
shown by their traffic reports.
The Oregon weight mile tax
was designed on the principle
that the heaviest haulers add
most to costs (as shown in
many early road tests). The
heavy haulers have refused
to wait for completion of the
Illinois road tests this fall to
see if their claim for parity
with other road users can be
justified.
The pressure to reduce fees
on one class of road users is
particularly unfortunate at a
time when the Legislature
seems to be engaged in com
petitive log rolling' to issue
more and more bonds to speed
up construction projects in
various parts of the state.
Regardless of the merit of
some of these bonding proj
ects we are in danger of ac
complishing two evil results:
1. An actual SLOWING
DOWN of highway progress,
as DEBT SERVICE REQUIRE
MENTS eat into available
state funds.
2. Transfer of construction
policy from our very compe
tent Highway Commission to
90 politicians of the Legisla
ture. With the new highway
bonds which the Legislature
has voted, for "back-scratch.
tng" projects, the annual debt
service requirements will
come close to $10 million a
year - approximately ONE-
FOURTH of available, state
funds for highway purposes
We could very quickly
work ourselves into a position
where we could not match
federal aid either for the
inter-state system or for the
normal state-federal coopera
tive programs.
The truckers have refused
Governor Hatfield's reason
able suggestion that the refer
endum be attached to SB32.
The Governor's veto should
be encouraged and support
ed. In 1952 the people of Ore
gon ratified the weight mile
tax by better than 2 to 1. It
should not be necessary for
the people to circulate a ref
erendum petition but they
can and I doubt if they have
changed their minds.

Everyone Wus Disgusted
To the Editor: Mr. Disgusted
of Ashland: If you wuz dis
gusted with my letters to the
Tribune, it wouldn't matter,
but you wuz gettin' disgusted
with everything, people, tele
vision, radio, Brush cars, tele
phones, rocking chairs, cash
registers, sawdust burners,
wrecking yards, smudge-pots,
ducks and dogs. You wuz get
tin' disgusted with, "WUZ."
I don't like sawdust burn
ers, wrecking yards or smudge
pots, but I like to have our
saw mills running, I like to
eat pears and buy parts for
my old jalopy.
The Russian scientists wuz
worried because there ain't
enough air on the planet Ve
nus to sustain life. We ain't
worried about that. We wuz
worried about gettin' away
from Cape Canaveral. We
ain't done that yet.
You want us to write about
wrecking yards. I don't know
anything about wrecking
yards, but I am more or less
of a rocket expert. I sent a
letter to Cape Canaveral: "If
you wuz gettin' tired of shoot
ing holes in the sand, turn
the darn rockets up-side down
and see wot happens." Now
they wuz disgusted. 1

School Voters Of

Do you know that our school board has gone overboard in the current
. . school budget by providing an item of $27,000.00, in addition to the
$1,500.00 spent last year, for the acquisition of a school site within .
the city limits of Medford, Oregon? This action will ultimately require
total expenditure for reasonably adequate facilities of an estimated
$240,000.00. , , ,
On present prices, installation of street and sewer facilities could
, easily run over $30,000.00. The land with these necessities, basic six
classroom facilities, attendant multi-purpose room, gymnasium, admin
istrative quarters, provision for reasonable expansion, etc., would ulti
mately cost the taxpayer at east quarter of a million dollars on the; , .
basis of anticipated costs.
Do you realize that the per acre cost for this land, including water,
sewer and street facilities, will run in excess of $6,000.00 per acre on
1 unplatted land. This will very likely set a new all-time record for ques
tionable spending of public fundsl , - i
Do you know that our per pupil cost, estimated to be $530.00 per
pupil at the budget hearing- is one of the highest in the county?
Do you realize that the proposed site is so near the freeway that
. our children will' experience difficulty in overcoming the noises from '"
popping and cracking of trucks and other vehicles using the new free-
''';' way?- ':'"''. ,' : ::. ,! ;
This wasteful expenditure of school tax money, when duplicating
facilities are so close, is completely unjustified and must not be allowed!
