Metric System For linear measure, we use the inch (and its subdivisions in halves, eighths, sixteenths, (thirty' seconds, sixty-fourths), the foot (12 inches), the vard (three feet), the rod (WA feet), the chain (either 66 or 100 feet, depending on whether it is a surveyors or engineers), and the mile (o, 280 feet or 63,360 inches) not to mention such esoteric measurements as points, picas, fathoms and furlongs. For square measure, we have all the above, squared, as well as acres. For capacity measure, there are gills, pints, quarts, pecks, bushels, gallons (as well as such odd combinations , as acre-feet and feet-per-sec- ond). For weight measure, there are grains, drams, ounces, pounds, and tons of several sizes. A LL of these are totally unrelated to each other Each has its own history (an inch, one legend goes, was the length of the first thumb-joint of a king). They make attempts to calculate vary ing types of measurement as complicated as do' incr lone division with Roman numerals. What the ultimate cost may be of these ir rational systems to industry and government is almost incalculable. No one has ever tried to find out, although there is a proposal before the con cress now to make a rough finding of what the systems are costing, and what would be the cost of converting to the metric system. The metric system has long been proposed for adoption in the United States, and the day may come when it will happen.

THE current proposal is to appropriate a half 1 million dollars to study "the possibilities and problems of substituting the metric system for the weights and measures now standard in this country. One opponent, at least, thinks it would be a waste of money. "That $500,000 could be used to help change over textbooks to the new sys tem if it has to be spent at all," he is quoted as saying. "Everybody knows what the metric sys tem is. We don t have to study it. If they want to have a metric system, let them just set a date in the future for installing it." This is an oversimplified view. We should at least have some concept of what the change would involve, and would cost, before we jump into it, willy nilly. lfE believe, however, such a study would re- "veal that the metric system would save great sums of money in the long run, simplify arithme tic and mathematics for generations of students and scholars and scientists, and would actually stimulate international commerce. The metric system, despite the opponent's statement, is not very well known m tins country, and there would be some opposition based simply on inertia and dislike of change. But it is so simple and logical that it could be learned by everyone in a short period of time. The changeover shouldn't take more than a year or two. THE metric system is based on the meter (lin- ear), the gram (weight), the liter (capacity), the are (area) and the stere (volume). To these root-measurements are attached ap propopriate prefixes to indicate smaller or larger Quantity. "Micro-" is one-millionth, "milli-" one thousandth, "ccnti-" one hundredth, "deci-" one tenth, "deka-" ten, "hecto-'' one hundred, "kilo-" one thousand, "myria-" ten thousand, and "mega-" one million. A meter is one ten-millionth of the distance from the earth's equator to the north pole, or slightly more than a yard. All other metric meas urements are related to it. (tor instance, a gram is the weight of one cubic centimeter of water). The scientific community is using the metric system more and more, and such terms as cubic centimeter and a "megaton bomb" (although the latter is really a confusion of terms) are be coming generally familiar. I TSE of the metric system in the United States has been legally permissible since 1866, and, oddly enough, our present units of measurement are now legally defined in terms of the metric sys tem. Many departments of government employ it either exclusively or in large part. It is used in electrical measurement, in drug measurement, i i ii i i iniiiiii, aim nit i mi v and in ocular measurement, as well as m elec-;rcacty ale accomplishing tronics and broadcasting. It is increasing in use and popularity. A study should be made to determine the impact of the change, ana, with that Knowledge, we coumiby them from time to time as plan ahead for an orderly conversion. counselor in their scholastic Affr. , wl nf ,.,if,, lifand other activities. ,1.1 . u.v.a. iruiuiUi owiiiC urn ..as. . .. , . . , "E" A. Arnold Eugene Jcnnv Rogue Valley Manor Medford Hats Off To Youth To the Editor: Seems Messrs. Henry Johnson and Clifford J. Young take a pret ty dim view of our present day youth, judging from their comments in Communica tions, 610. The thing that "bugs" Mr. Young, he says, is that "many youth today . . . expect free education, free vacation trips with pay, free training for ef ficient use of their skills." what's so unusual about that? Surely, most of us now living in this good land are or have been beneficiaries of our free public schools, generally hailed as the very bulwark of our free society. Nor are va cations with pay so very new, cither, havine been fairlu commonplace before the tun. of the century. Mr. Johnson starts out with testimony from eminent edu cators who, it seems to me, see the problems of youth in oeucr historical perspective, as indicated by the following quotations. Says one: "Youth did not create their environ ment. They are but the vic tims of an adult-made world." And another: "The world that a young man enters todav is a glittering and insidious thing." A world, mind vou. made not by youth but by its elders. Yet Mr. Johnson's own con clusion is about as dismal as Mr. Young's: "It seems, how ever, that our youth general ly conduct themselves as though life were one grand holiday." Such a sweeping in dictment I believe is both un founded and unfair. Having worked with youth for upwards of 50 years and in a great variety of settings: in church and YMCA groups, scouting, camping, travel at home and abroad, and in close collaboration with school groups, I believe today's youth gives every bit as good ac count of itself as any of us oldsters did when we were young - and In many respects. much better. Most of today's young peo ple are busier than all-get-out in more worthwhile activities than any of us antediluvians know in our youth: in our schools, churches, scouting, 4 H and FFA, the YMCA, other like organizations and their equivalents on the col lege and university level, and in after-school employment. Consider, too, the tremen dous response of youth all over the country to the chal lenge of the Peace Corps - no soft or easy prospects for any enrollee; and what they al- in many lands is positively thrill ing My hat's off to youth! I am pi oud still to be called upon Sunday, July 15, as the grand finale of the three day event. All parties interested should write Reunion Com mittee, Lewis & Clark Hotel, Centralia.

Solution To the Editor: Where is the hole in the tele phone book? Well, we wondered that too; So after a little thought and discussion, Here's what we decided to do. Good old Dad was summoned, And to t h e basement he went; Later he returned with a tool, That for drilling is meant. Slowly but surely he bent to the floor, (The book had been "hang ing" there, you know) A few quick turns and that was that. We thanked him kindly, but we paid him no dough. We have a hole in our tele phone book, And it didn't cost us a dime: So now I'll quit, and just give up, And not waste any more time. Carol Mundlin 547 Laurel Central Point, Ore. By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Saigon, South Viet Nam-WPD The fortified village of Ben Tyong lies about 30 helicop ter miles northwest of Saigon, sepa rated from the South Vi etnamese cap ital by the Saigon river delta and mile after mile of rubber plan tations and water - filled paddies which glisten in the sun. From the air it appears both beautiful and peaceful. But the atmosphere of peace is an illusion, for this is the notorious "Zone D" Newsom through which only armed i either have joined the Viet convoys can pass by day and which at night belongs to the Communist Viet Cong guer rillas. The French only partially controlled it when they had Indo-China, and the South Vi etnamese g o v e r nment of President Ngo Dinh Diem never has controlled it. Ben Tuong is a tiny oasis in the midst of the Viet Cong who in the month of May alone attacked it 14 times. In Ben Tuong the govern ment has- gathered 955 men", women and children, some voluntary, some removed from their jungle huts by force.

The objective, he said, would be to stimulate business. How would it stimulate bus iness? It would leave more money in the people's pockets for the people to spend. KENNEDY AND THE BUSINESSMEN Washington-Over the week end, the White House was in a continuous bustle of prepa ration for the speech the President will make when he re ceives an hon orary degree at the Yale C 0 m m ence m e n t. The pro fessor a m bassador, J. Kenneth Galbraith, prepar ed a draft which was judged effective but too sharp in tone. The more usual contri butors, headed by Theodore Sorensen, worked round the clock, as is their custom on these occasions. As is also customary, messengers dashed in and out almost hourly, bearing data and advice, sug gestions and criticisms, from the Treasury, the Council of Economic Advisers, and oth er relevant agencies. The President himself, meanwhile, was in close, un remitting charge of the whole far - spreading effort - which is why is major speeches, al though the results of team work, are also very much Kennedy's own speeches in a quiet literal sense. Nor was all this earnest bustle surpris ing; for the President had early decided to use the Yale rostrum for a particularly sig nificant contribution to his 'uncomfortable dialogue with the American business com munity. THE MOOD and the equip ment the President brings to this dialogue have now be come exceedingly important. As to the mood, in the after math of the steel crisis and the Stock Exchange panic, the President is plainly exasper ated. He is not yet fighting mad, but he is both impatient and mocking. How, he asks, can sane busi- lion pounds of silver. How can we compare our national debt today with the national debt of France back in 1715, when Louis XIV, the Great Spender, was gathered to his fathers? We can't of course get an EXACT comparison. But just for the heck of it, let's take a look at it from this stand point. would be made considerbly simpler.- Query The following is a part of Ordinance 2-1-10, School Reunion To the Editor: I am writ ing this in the hope you will ..... .......1 nnAA Section 7(i, City of Medford, adopted November jhejp. The centralia High iy, VJW. TT sounds wonderful. But these questions occur: 1. If taxes are cut, will the President propose at the same time to CUT SPENDING? 2. If we cut taxes, but GO ON SPENDING, what will happen? What will happen, of course, if we cut taxes but go on spending at the rate we have been spending, is that we'll go deeper in debt. We are eiy deeply in debt al ready. We owe 300 billion dollars-and a proposal is pending to stretch the debt limit to 308 hillion. So far. every time we have increased the debt limit spending has been increased enough to take up the slack. "It shall be unlawful for any person to create, assist in creating, permit, continue, or permit the continuance of any loud, disturbing, or tinnecesary noise in the City of Medford.

We are vited old pioneers who lived Centralia High whether they graduated or not. Also are in- j vited old p ioneers who lived ' in and around Centralia dur I ing these years - these latter especially for the bis picnic to be held at Borst Park on This question faces us: If the government goes on spending as vigorously as it has spent in the past and goes on putting a large part of its spending on the cuff-where will we end up? QJINCE July 1, 1930, the U. S. Treasury price for silver has been 90.5 cents per fine ounce. lo make the matha matics easier, let's say the U. S. price of silver is now a dollar per ounce, or S12 per 12-ounce pound. Our present national debt is 300 billion dollars. Divid ing 300 billion dollars by 12 dollars gives us a present na tional debt amounting to 25 billion pounds of silver-or 8.3 times France's debt in terms of silver bullion when Louis XIV died after his long spending binge. fHAT followed Louis XIV? It's a grim story. Some seven decades later came the bloody French Revo lution. Heads rolled from the guillotine-some 2500 of them in a period of 15 months. One of the heads was that of Louis XlV's great-great-grandson. Another was that of his queen. Marie Antoincttc-the lady who said when the peo ple of Paris were crying for bread. "Why the silly things nessmen be so alarmed and angered because i they have been deprived of the painful privilege of paying S6 a ton more for the steel they all use? What makes his "gov ernment inter vention" so much more wicked in prin ciple than the equally govern mental steel - intervention by Vice President Richard M. Nixon- That time, he points out, there was a long and crip pling strike, a large wage rise, and no price rise by emphatic government request. This time, there was no strike, a very moderate wage rise, and no price rise, again by gov ernment request, though a re quest to be sure that was even more sternly proffered. To this he adds a perfect litany of his own actions de signed to be helpful and en couraging to business. The preparation of a new depreci ation schedule by the Inter nal Revenue authorities; the investment credit proposal the planned across - the-board tax cut the list was heard at his last press conference Why, he inquires in effect, should all these things of sub stance go for nothing, just because he was somewhat harsh with the hapless Roger Blough for the sake of the American economy as a whole and American business in particular? THUS it must be said that -- if the business communl ly is feeling ill - used, so is the President. But for the long run, this Presidential sense of being ill-used is clear ly less meaningful than the equipment this formidable man is gathering together which will be very useful in the fight with business if busi ness chooses lo pick a fight with him. In the last 12 months, es pecially, President Kennedy has given an astonishing amout of time and energy to detailed exploration of every kind of economic problem, with special emphasis on test ing the factual underpinnings of the common cliches of eco nomic debate. There is an odd contrast here, in truth. Perforce, for eign policy is the President's main preoccupation; but he has not given quite the same kind of study to foreign poli cy matters that he has given, and is even increasingly giv ing, to economic matters. He does not try, for instance, to read the all - important Soviet signs and portents himself. He leaves that task, so to say, to the official astrologers. TUT he is absorbed by such - abstruse but basic ques tion as the reasons for the difference in the European and American rates of eco nomic growth; the difference between the government-business relationship in this coun try and in France or West Germany: the comparison be tween American budgetary practices and those used abroad, and so on and on. He not only demands a constant stream of factual memoranda on these and other related subjects. He also seeks out foreign visitors of the special ist type not usually sought out by the While House, such as the treasurer general of The Netherlands, Emile van Lennep, to subject them to long interrogation. In sum, we may end by hav ing a Kennedy-business feud Cong or have disappeared into the jungle in fear of being taken into the army Their absence is illustra tive both of the Viet Cong's influence and of the govern ment's past failure to win ei ther the sympathy or loyalty of these outlying villagers. who regard government agents only as tax collectors or unwelcome representatives of the army. Ben Tuong and 2,000 other, similar strategic hamlets are part of a U.S.-supported ef fort lo change that concept. Except that the houses are of thatch and woven palm, Ben Tuong could be a vil lage in early colonial Amer ica. A deep ditch embedded with sharp bamboo spikes sur rounds it, topped by an earth works and a tangle of barbed wire. An armed guard stands at the gate which each morn ing swings back to allow the villagers to work in the pad dies or an adjoining rubber plantation. In each family plot, a slit trench provides shelter in case of attack. At the moment, two com panies of Vietnamese troops guard the village, but in six months time it is hoped the villagers will provide their own defense.

No matter what brain washing devices are devel oped in the future, the most powerful force of suggestion in the world will remain auto suggestion. The weak ego can convince i t -elf of any thing, while the strong and healthy ego will re main impervi ous to any sort of hrain- -j washing. Not Harris team of medi cal researchers at the Univer sity of Illinois tested volun teers with an infectious se cretion. The volunteers were divided into two groups -those who say they "got colds all the time," and those who don't It was true that more of the "always - have - a-cold" group developed symptoms of colds than the other group. But then, when the researchers used a non-infectious mate rial, about one-quarter of the "always-havc-a-cold" group got symptoms, while only 1 per cent of the non-cold peo ple showed symptoms. What this strongly indi cates is that auto-suggestion is the cause of "having a cold" in many cases. If you believe you are likely to gel one from sitting in a draft or walking through a puddle, you will get all the symptoms-even though the cold virus ii not present in your body. Preston Lecky once re ported the case of a man and his wife who were both bitten by their pet dog. The man became convinced- thai he was going to develop hydrophobia, but the woman was sure the wasn't. "In three days." Lecky said, "the man was tick in bed. his throat muscles were becoming taut, and he complained of difficulty in swallowing. Hii wife was up and well. At the end of five days, the man reported all the symptoms of hydro phobia, and a physician taw that he was actually on the verge of dying from a dis ease he didn't have. "Finally, on the eighth day, the doctor persuaded him that nobody with hy drophobia had ever lived more than six days. He jumped out of bed and soon was as well as before the dog had bitten him."
