in his candidacy for the Ore
gon State Senate. 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. In the areas of
welfare, taxes, Workm en's
Compensation Law, the aged,
and many others, he again
approaches the problem with
specific, realistic proposals.
As a veteran of six years
of leadership in the Republi
can party, Stathos has achiev
ed statewide recognition. He
was honored this spring by
the Oregon Republican State
Central committee as it pass
ed a formal resolution of com
mendation for his three years
of service as secretary of the
state organization.
Chairmanships
In Jackson county, he has
served as chairman of the
Republican Central commit
tee, chairman of the 1960
Oregon Presidential Electors,
chairman of the Youth for Eisenhower-Nixon
organization,
and chairman of the Young
Republican club. 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 community affairs h i s
activities testify to his under
standing and deep regard for
Jackson county. Stathos is
secretary of the Forest Prod
ucts committee of the cham
ber of commerce, committee
chairman of the Southern Ore
gon Conservation and Tree
Farm association, and a mem
ber of the Keep Oregon
Green association. He is also
a board member of the Med
ford Safety Council, a board
member of First Methodist
church, and a Crater Lion. In
1959, he was nominated for
the Distinguished Service
Award of the Junior Cham
ber of Commerce.
Personal Interests
Personal interests of Sta
thos are headed by his mem
bership in a local, cooperative
Hying club, a hobby which
has facilitated him in meeting
the statewide demands of his
Republican party work.
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.

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.
