MEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Times Illuminated THURSDAY. APRIL 28. 1962 Founding Fathers Failed To Vision Present Times in Right of Petition By DICK WEST Washincton-iUPD-Almost ev eryone agrees that our found ing fathers showed great pru dence in guar anteeing the right of a citi zen to petition the govern ment. But over the years u .. ; tAwiBti of that right I XiJfej nas sometimes U taken forms west nidi uie iuuiiu- lng fathers possibly did not envision. I have at hand three recent communications from suppli cating citizens which would have left the Constitution framers in the dark but which somehow seem to illustrate our times. The first petition, received by Rep. Morris K. Udall (D Ariz.), was drafted by Tom Bahti, an Indian trader who describes himself as "a patri otic American interested only in keeping America strong." He adds, however, that he "wouldn't mind making a lit tle money while pursuing these goals." "It has come to my atten tion," Bahti wrote, "that Rus sia may begin a crash pro gram to outproduce the Unit- M J B COFFEE GROUND INSTANT 1 lb. 65c 6-oi. 2 lbs. $1.29 89c CHRISTIAN'S MARKET Medford ed States in Hopi pottery and Navajo rugs, two important fields in which we have al ways maintained a consistent superiority. "I am therefore asking that you draw up appropriate legislative bills which will produce vast sums of money to spur these long-neglected portions of our national econ omy. "If we let those godless Russians close the Hopi pot tery and Navajo rug gap, our national posture is bound to suffer." The second petition was sent to Rep. Frank T. Bow (R-Ohio), by Dr. David E. Howell, an Alliance, Ohio, dentist who reported that he had produced more false teeth than he was able to sell. "Would it be possible for you to have the government buy my surplus dentures and store them with the surplus crops?" Howell asked. "Of course, I realize that storage might become a prob lem, so maybe you could send the surplus dentures overseas as foreign aid. "This would motivate the people over there to buy our corn on the cob, thus solving the problem of surplus corn arid dentures and help the payments balance, too. "However, this plan might antagonize the dentists and corn growers overseas and cause them to become Com munists if we did not subsi dize them. "A patient told me recent ly that he was getting paid for not growing corn, so per haps it would be simpler if you would just send me the money and I could go into the non-making-dentures busi ness." The third petition was de vised by George Q. Lewis, di rector of something called the "National Laugh Foundation." He is sounding out Congress on the possibility of provid ing hospital care for "sick" comedians. Police Week To Be Observed in City In observance of National Police week the Medford city police department has sched uled an open house at the police station in city hall for Sunday, May 13, from 1 to 9 p.m. By resolution of Congress the week of May 13 to 19, has been designated as National Police week, according to Charles P. Champlin, chief of ! police. I "This event will provide the public with an excellent opportunity to visit th epolice department quarters and be come familiar with the facili ties and operation," Chief Champlin said. Various displays will be ar ranged for viewing, including police equipment, confiscated weapons, scale model shoot ing range, and traffic ex hibit. Police officers will be on hand to conduct visitors on guided tours of the station's facilities, it was slated. All interested persons, par ticularly parents with their children, are invited, Chief Champlin said. a j It sc .-..v I I mill - g J" - ' ' if ' (T ' SURVEYING MISSILE SITES Washington -flJPU- The Unit ed States is surveying loca tions for missile launching sites in the Hawaiian Islands, Alaska and Guam, according to the Air Force.

By HIAWATHA ESTES There are many little things that add up to make a big difference in any house design. You are liable to overlook several of these items If you are building for the first time. By spending some time in studying this plan, one should become fa miliar with many of these design ideas. A wde covered porch pro tects the front door and your visitors from inclem ent weather. From the center hall entry, one has direct ac cess to the bedroom wing, the living room and the family room-k 1 1 c h e n areas. Both guest and forced air furnace closets open to the entry. The furnace is surrounded by oth er closets which absorb Its noise of operation. A very short hall .-loads from the entry to all bed rooms. A linen closet nearly six feet long will be appreci ated by any housewife. All bedrooms have an unusual amount of wardrobe. The wardrobe in' the 10 by 12 bed room soundproofs this room from noises emitting from the living area. Features of the family bath include a shower and a tub plus a semi-partitioned water closet and a twin pullman lavatory. Wide Fireplace The wide fireplace becomes the center of attention upon entering the living room. A high window on each side al lows for easier furniture ar rangement. The combining of ing ell helps each of these areas appear larger. The addi tion of the sliding doors from the living room to the patio makes still another contribu tion to this design'i remark able spaciousness.

Dr. Fellers waj the final speaker in a "Preparation for Retirement" series held dur ing the past five weeks by the social and economics is sues committee of the Med ford branch, American Asso ciation of University Women of the Rogue Valley Council on Aging. The speaker noted that there are three categories of retired people. The retired who is independent, the semi retired who works parttime, and the retired person who is dependent. A retired person seeks five things in a community, Dr. Fellers explained. They are: 1, community services avail able in which he may partici pate; 2, social activities; 3, cul tural pursuits; 4, educational opportunities, and 5, spiritual life. Remain Anonymous Dr. Fellers stressed that many retired persons wish to remain anonymous for awhile after they arrive in a new community as they wish to get their home in order before be coming involved in commu nity activities. He reminded the audience that the community has the responsibility to wholesomely welcome the new retirees, and not to expect too much of them too soon. The local series, which Is planned as a "pilot" program, will be held in other parts of the state by the AAUW. Local coordinator was Miss Pegajy- ann Hutchinson, rnmmitfea chairman.
