at the University of North

By DR. RAYMOND
WILLIAM ADAMS
Written for
United Press International
Henry Thoreau, author of
"Walden," died just a century
ago. Curiously, his reputation
has been growing and spread
ing around the world ever
since. That doesn't happen
often even to the reputations
of authors. Books, of course,
can have a longer life than
the men who wrote them. But
it is not only the reputation
of Thoreau's great book that
has grown. It is the reputa
tion of the man himself. When
a hundred years after his
death, Thoreau's name is add
ed to the Hall of Fame of
New York University, it
won't be his book, that is hon
ored; it will be the man him
self. What did Thoreau do that
throughout a hundred years
has made him increasingly a
world-wide influence? He was
put in the village jail for one
night because of a tax bill of
a dollar or two, surely not an
impressive detention. And yet
that single night in jail out
weighs perhaps all the other
imprisonments of history.
That is because Thoreau made
his night in jail symbolic of a
free man's relation to his gov
ernment, to all government,
and then wrote an account of
the event which has caught
the imagination of people
ever since.
Not long ago it taught Gan
dhi how to resist imperialism
and free India. And just now
it is teaching freedom riders
and sit-in demonstrators how

to make states abandon old
laws and customs. That's a
good deal for a man to do be
cause of one night in a little
country jail.
Builds Home
About the same time, when
Thoreau was less than thirty
years old, he built himself a
one room house on the shore
of a beautiful lake just out
side the village of Concord,
Mass., within a mile of the
family home and the shop
where he and his father op
erated a little pencil manufac
tory. He stayed at Walden
pond hardly more than two
years, not doing anything spec
tacular, and certainly not act
ing like a recluse or a hermit.
Most of the villagers thought
he was a bit eccentric. And
they still thought so after he
had tried to explain his ac-
Foreign Assistance
Business Benefits
Medford Merchants
Medford business firms re
ceived $19,000 in foreign as
sistance business between Jan
uary, 1954, and December
1961. according to a report of
the U. S. Agency for Inter
national Development.
This contributes to a total
of $76,072,705 in business in
the state of Oregon.
According to the report, a
large share of this internation
al business goes to port cities,
as this is where the interna
tional exporters have a ten
dency to locate.
Under the current AID pro
gram, about 80 per cent of
the money used for grants and
nearly 100 per cent of the
funds for commodities financ
ed through loans are spent in
the United States.
The figures on each state's
share in business resulting
from the foreign assistance
program are based on AID
financed transactions with ex
porting firms. This is cither
through the sales unit of a
firm or through an export
merchant located in the state
and engaged in overseas sales
of American-produced com
modities. The total amount of assist
ance business in the United
States was $4,429,581,138.

tions in some lectures which
he gave at the village lyceum
and even after he wrote a
whole book about his twenty
six months at the pond.
But people since then have
not dismissed it as an eccen
tric incident; and the book has
become a great classic that has
gone through a hundred edi
tions and been translated into
all the major languages of the
world. That is because Thor
eau tied his experiment in liv
ing at Walden pond to anoth
er fundamental principle: how
a man can simplify his life
and be himself in the face of
the complexities of the ma
chine age and the involve
ments and pressures of west
ern society.
States Case
He didn't think everybody
should go live in the woods.
That happened to be his way
of simplifying his life. But his
statement of the case appealed
to a human longing to live a
life of single purpose and in
tegrity. Ever since 1847, when
Thoreau moved back to the
village, or since 1854 when
the book "Walden" was pub
lished, industrial and social
and scientific advances have
been making life more and
more complex and steadily in
creasing the desire of people
to get out from under modern
pressures, and to count as in
dividuals again.
Thoreau did a third thing
that has made him increasing
ly important. He established a
first-hand human relationship
with nature and the wild.
Like the free man's relation
to his government and the in
dividual's relation to complex
society, the need of people to
keep contact with nature has
grown in importance during
the century since Thoreau
lived. Interest in wild nature
has increased steadily. Mean
while, the growth of cities and
the spread of suburbs and the
population explosion around
the world have pushed wilder
ness farther and farther from
our reach. Thus Thoreau in
creasingly voices for twen
tieth century man another
basic human need.
Not many men in a short
lifetime felt so accurately the
concerns of the century still
to come. Even fewer of them
found the answers' so long be
fore most people even knew
about the questions. It takes
a great man to do that. A
century after his death no one
doubts that Henry Thoreau is
a great man.

Torpedo Failure
Overcomes Sailors
Honolulu - (UPll - The Navy
today sought the cause of a
practice torpedo malfunction
which forced the submarine
Tiru to make an emergency
surfacing 15 miles southwest
of Pearl Harbor.
Eighteen men were treated
for smoke inhalation as a re
sult of the accident Monday,
but the Navy said none was
injured seriously. The vessel
returned to port under its
own power.
The Tiru, a completely
renovated World War II mod
ified snorkel-type submarine,
carried a crew of 11 officers
and 75 men.
The practice torpedo, which
had been placed in a firing
tube in the after torpedo
room, was started either by
accident or through a ma
terial failure.
A large volume of exhaust
smoke came out of the tube,
and the men in the room were
sealed off - a standard proce
dure in the event of an acci
dent. The Navy said there was
no fire and that the Tiru
never was in critical danger.
