He has pos itive, practical programs for stimulating the three basic industries of Jackson county forest products, farming and tourist in his aim to strengthen the economic springboard which affects ev ery resident.

Believing that government is the most vital force affecting our lives today, he has taken ev ery opportunity to encourage others to participate in their government, especially young pefple. From his vantage point of worKine closely with the lead ers of TJregon, Stathos has gained valuable insight into the operation of our state gov ernment. It has demonstrated to hinj the absolute necessity oi a legislator remaining free of any obligation to special interest groups. Only in this way, he believes, can a legis lator serve the best interests of all the voters and be wor thy of their trust.

In filing for his candidacy, Stathos made this statement: "Oregon is on the threshold of its most dynamic growth. In giving direction to this growth, we must provide a matching leadership." ' Toward the interests of ar ticulate leadership in Salem, and a vital, statesmanlike ap proach to state government, Don Stathos has the native ability, background and dedi cation to serve Jackson coun ty well.

Lynn Newbry Senator Lynn Newbry has served the people of Jackson county since 1960 when he was appointed to fill the term of Edwin Durno.

In the next session recommendations to help small business will be made. Senator Newbry worked dil igently in the field of labor management to improve Workmen's Compensation laws to protect not only 60 per cent of workmen now cov ered, but 100 per cent of our labor force, and to broaden the compensation law and to reduce its cost. The "3-Way Comp" bill is now ready for the coming legislative session He sponsored and got passed the Farm Labor law protect ing agriculture from unscru pulous union activity.

"Lynn Newbry is an outstanding young man of proven integrity, courage and ability. He did an excellent job in the Senate where he is highly respected.

(Ri(lltcr i TrlbunteSyndlcslt. 19(2) m MEDFORDfB Tribune SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, MAY 7, 1962 PAGES 1 to 8 Newbry's answers to the League of Women Voters' questionnaire: 1. In cirder to meet the fi nancial need of the state, I would favor a legislative pro gram designed to stimulate business activity and to diver sify our economy. If this can be accomplished, the increased business activity would pro vide sufficient income on the present tax system to carry on the functions of the state gov ernment. 2. No. Idcalistically, I be lieve that the "Federal Plan" would provide us with the best type of representation. This, of course, is not a realistic ap proach, so I therefore favor a method o f reapportionment which will take into consider ation both area and population. Favors Acl'.ion Taken 3. I favor the action taken by the last legislative assem bly in regards to constitution al revision 4. Some reorganization in the executive branch might be desirable. However, the pres ent board of control and so called commission type of gov ernment has the advantage of continuing policies and pro vides more opportunity for citizen participation in gov ernment, which to me is desirable. 5. Major effort in the next legislation session would be to maintain the present level of state government service with out an Increase in taxation will work 'for legislation to improve the business climate in our state by improvement in certain areas in taxation. In the field of labor legislation, I will work diligently toward improvement in the work men's compensation laws and To profit and learn by our mistakes, never making the' same one more than once, is a human characteristic . , . a faculty not too apparent in any of the lower animals. We lean over a little from the human perpendicular by crediting a cow, a horse or a hog with a small measure of common sense when the animal learns ticklish les son as it accidentally touches the wire of tn electric fence. On- or two contacts with this to teach the animal to avoid f the fence. Even the so-called bird brain in the head of a spar row learns not t enter a wire trap the second time, even when hungry. Sparrows just won't fall for the same trick after once being caught. Ov courie, most of us agree the horse, dog or cat possesss some degree of animal intelli gence, but most of us would dibate the question when it comes down a few notches in the animal scalo to cover such mite-sized brains as in frogs, turtles and toads. No intelligent being, a toad. But let's look at the record . and the toad. Toads feed on living insects. Any bug that is in motion and comes within reach of that sticky, lightning fast tongue is a part of a meal for oi e of these animals. The bigger the bug the fewer it takes to satisfy toad appitite. Dragonflies are larger, and toads like them. The toad we watched gob bled two dragonflie- with evi dent relish. We put several flics in the small enclosure, the biggest ones we could catch. The front -hinged tongue snared them all in a few minutes. We put in more files and a bee. The toad, in experienced In the ways of th world and of men, grab bed a bee. He jumped a foot. He gulp ed and blinked his eyes. He came as close to shaking his head as a neckless body would allow, lv hurt, but he swal lowed the bee. He rubbed his mouth with his two forelegs. He acted a little confused. We Imagined he must have said, "Balls of fire, that was a hot one!" He didn't eat any more that day. The next day we intro duced more flies ana a couple of bees. He ale the flies but refused a bee, even when one of them would pass within an inch of his face. Two months we kept him, but nev er once did he ever grab an other bee. The hot one he had snatch ed that first day made a last ing impression. He wasn't about to make the same mis take twice. (X) VOTE mi ELECT DONALD E.
