Founding Fathers Failed To Vision
Present Times in Right of Petition
By DICK WEST

dence in guar
anteeing the
right of a citi

the govern
ment. But

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

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

In observance of National
Police week the Medford city
police department has sched

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.
OSU Graduation
To Be One Day Only
Corvallis Commencement
at Oregon Stale university
has been changed to a one
day Sunday program this
year, instead of the two days
of the past, with more than
than 1,800 degrees scheduled
to be conferred June 3.
In years past, OUS has had
baccaulaureale service Sun
day morning and graduation
exercises on Monday.
This year, the baculaureate
service will be dropped and
the graduation exercises mov
ed to Sunday afternoon to
enable more parents, relatives
and friends to attend.
The 93rd annual commence
ment will be held in the 10,-000-seat
coliseum beginning
at 1 p.m. (PST), President
James H. Jensen announced.
Arecord numer of opproxi
mote 500 advanced degrees
will be conferred this year,
he added, including some 80
doctor's degrees and about 400
maste's degrees.
The number of bachelor's
degrees to be conferred is sec
ond only to the record num
ber of 1949-50, big graduation
year for World War II II veterans.
Azalea Festival
To Include Rodeo
Brookings - A rodeo will
again be held in Brookings in
conjunction with the 23rd an
nual Azalea Festival May 26-27.
Many events are being
planned for the rodeo, which
will take place at 2:30 p.m.,
Saturday, May 26, including
calf roping, wild cow milking,
saddle cow riding, steer rid
ing, barrel racing, and a num
ber of events in which chil
dren may enter. The rodeo
will again be a "jackpot"
event, with winners splitting
tired person must find some
thing to do that will keep him
interested."
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. It was presented
through the cooperation or
the adult education depart,
ment of the Medford Dublia
schools.

tries. The Eugene Highlanders
