MONDAY, JULY 23. 1912 Congratulations, Jaycees The Medford Junior is to be congratulated. Success came twice over the week end for the Jaycees, and on both occasions it means, in the long run, more recognition for the Rogue valley. Both successes happened Saturday evening, bdoui miies apari, Medford itself. The nearest was in Ashland, where the Jay cees prepared and served about 1,400 people within a short time in Lithia park at "The Feast of the Iribe of Will, preceding the opening pro duction of the Oregon Shakespearean Festival season. THE other success was 1 Orecon coast where (Marty) Wyatt of Jacksonville was named Miss Oregon for 1962. Miss Miss Rogue Valley pageant sponsored and direct ed by the Medford Jaycees. It wasn't the first time the Jaycees have been successful in Ashland; they have prepared and served the "Feast" for the last few years. And they have done an efficiently good job each year. It was the first time, have sponsored a Miss Rocue Valley contest, and it is welcome recognition for a nard-working group of young men that the lovely local con testant in the Miss Oregon contest should win. DOTH events will bring added recognition to this area ; the "Feast" through out-of-state vis itors carrying the word back to their homes; the Miss Oregon event through her competition in the annual Miss America contest in Atlantic City, N.J. We congratulate the Medford Jaycees on their successes. E.H.A. Fashion s Brightest Arts "The fashion wears out (woman)." Shakespeare Til A L.- h V n fi nnvvt a x lie r i cuiii ao sunie it 4-L,j-kif n ia n fiiMMi tn nn first of August, the great season of fashion, and fliroi'trriA'lif'o nAf f inrv Mil r? i rwirn One-third of Paris' drawn from the city during the month of August. It doesn't matter now many American tourists are there, virtually demanding to be exploited. It doesn't matter that Paris in August invariably is sunny, balmy, and clear. It doesn't even mat ter that this is the time of times for one of France's chief industries haute couture. Fashion is big business for the French. For centuries it has been encouraged and support by the French government. Louis XIV's chief min ister, Colbert, is said to have observed, "French fashions are to France what the mines of Peru are to Spain." According to Max von Boehm, "dressing in the French style was the first sign that one belonged to the upper classes." In value of exports, dress manufacturing ranks second among French industries. The couture establishments of Paris are said to provide direct and indirect employment for a quarter of a mil lion persons. 'THE building fashion season emphasizes again the leadership of France in the world of fancy dressmaking. The London and Florence collec tions already have been shown, and still the buy ers, both professional and the fortunate amateurs, await the Paris showings with what the dictionary calls restrained breath. Italy alone gave honest testimony to the pre eminence of France. Three of her top designers, Cappuci, Simonetta, and Fabiani, have left for Paris, and De Barcntzcn is soon to follow. In deed, G. B. Giorgini, originator of the Florentine fashion shows and founder of organized Italian fashion, is talking of establishing a Camera Sindicale of designers, similar to the diamine Syndicate de la Couture Parisienne, an organiza tion founded in 1868 to deal with administrative and labor problems of the dressmaking houses. Thousands of visitors go to Paris every year, most of them from the United States, to view and Furchase the latest dress models. Admission to aiis openings today is by invitation only, and arrivals are individually screened to be sure that their invitations are valid. These involve some pretty arcane rites, as for example, the jockeying on timing of invitations between Lanvin and Coco Chanel. The coutriers' security system would shame the Central Intelligence Agency. "THOSE who come to buy for resale or for copy- ing are required to make deposit, up to $1000 at some houses, representing a minimum pur chase. The price of a model tor copying may be 50 to 100 per cent more than would" be charged a private customer. While this year's showings so far have been disappointing the Italian collections lacked "fireworks" they have produced the usual col umns of interior prose. The two most dependable cliches of the trade appear to be the aphorism that a woman doesn't want to wear a costume, and the remark that a talented new designer "needs editing." About those vacationing French. When they come back from Deauville or the Midi or St. Tro they won't know what they've missed. Or will they? E.R.R.

Thornton Wrong To the Editor: The Attor ney General has refused to referee the argument between the Board of Control and the Emergency board, an answer former Governor Charles A. Sprague haa long called for. The Speaker of the House, a Democrat, Robert Duncan, asked for Thornton's opinion to settle the matter. But Thornton refused to take sides. Isn't it strange that he gets into all sorts of things like o f f-shore o i 1 exploration, counting days before Voters Pamphlet material is late, who should be Secretary of State, and vice investigations, and then ducks this basic is sue saying it is not his right ful area. If that a the case, Speaker Duncan must be wrong to have even asked his fellow attorney and fellow Democrat. Personally, I think Duncan was right and Thornton wrong again. And remember, the Emergency Board on which Duncan serves has other Democrats, other attor neys, like Harry Bolvin, and it was in their collective name Duncan asked Thorn ton. Neil A. Bennett 2770 High, SE Salem, Ore. Good News To the Editor: On tonight's late news bulletin, station KXLY, Channel 4, came two items that make for a happy coincidence. First, it was an nounced that the Spokane school board at noon meeting decided to a a 1 1 a certain school for which it no longer has any use. Later in the news came the decision of the Republican party to open a school for can didates seeking office. This is a project that has been a cry ing need for years and becom ing more manifest as time and elections go on. This writer has not the full details of the plans for such a school and does not know if the party will seek federal funds to help finance the worthy cause, but we may be sure this endeavor will meet with great public acclaim as a much needed step in the right direction. And let It be hoped that they will confine their Instruction to the Kin dergarten level until such time as they have students ca pable of taking more advanc ed studies. C. R.

Net Intscapabl To th Editor: How is this for an enlightened concept: "Chloroform is a decoy of Sa tan, apparently offering Itself to bless women: but in the end it will harden society and rob God of the deep earn est cries which arise In time of trouble for help." Did that one make you shudderT It was expressed by a clergyman In his vehement argument against anesthesia Just 100 years ago. "Pain, par ticularly the pain of child birth, is the ordained lot of mankind: to prevent It is a sacrilege." (Both quotes from 'Devils. Drugs, and Doctors' - by Haggard.) To what do we owe such fiendish con cepts if not to phases of the philosophy of life which un derlies a culture, and to the hierarchy that perpetuates It? It would be gratifying to hear some rational discussion concerning the present con trtersy uNutt euthanasia: but certainly not religious If It be inclined to perpetuate such narrow and sadistic con cepts as were used regarding anesthesia One lad of about 28 sum mers, "Academic Approach."

It Is not surprising for the young to lack compassion - the nobler emotions are not built-in, but cultivated. He asks, "Is it true that such suf fering is useless?" Does this remark bear any resemblance to the opening paragraphs? I wonder if either Bob, or Mrs. Hull, M.T.

Prayer Decision To th Editor: The great Theodore Roosevelt at o n e time urged us to read what he had said, and not just somebody said that he had said. Sometimes there it quite a difference. I have read considerable editorial and other comment about what the Supreme Court said in Its decision re garding a state prescribed prayer in the New York pub lic schools. But nowhere have I been able to read the actual words of the decision. Can you not print them or at least tell us where we can find them? The electorate is presumed to be reasonably in telligent and capable of under standing the meaning of clear English, and those who are fa miliar with United States his tory can have an Intelligent opinion of the intent of the very gifted men who wrote the first amendment of the constitution.

The decision, to gether with Justice Stewart's dissent snd Justice Douglas's concurring opinion, took mor than six full columns ot type.

Everett Acklin, Ashland, Ore. Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (e Field Entsrprlstr Inc. LUNACY If anyone thinks I was guilty of hysterical exaggera tion injny recent piece on "in sanity in the modern nu clear world, let me refer you to an as tonishing dis patch from London by William Stoneman of The Chicago num Daily News Foreign Service. Stoneman reported that there was "deep distress" in British official quarters at the U.S. decision to concentrate on military rather than civil ian targets in a nuclear war. Britain, it seems, has a fleet of fewer than 100 subsonic bombers, which could deliver bombs against only relatively large urban targets - that is, against cities where men. women and children would be killed Indiscriminately. "Sine th new American concpt." Stonman paints out, "would mak th Brit ish deterrent practically uselass during th initial stag of a nuclear war. It would deprW Britain of Us highly prised membership in th nuclear club and all of th prestige and prere quisites that go with it." If thia is net absolute In sanity, then the ward has lost lta meaning. When "of ficial quarters" become "deeply distressed" because big eitie ars no longer th target, wa have reached rock-bottom ef ciTilisatlon. And what la the distress ful reason glean by Stone man (who, by th way, is en of America's most reli able and thoughtful cerres pondenta)? Net any strate gic purposes, but because th American d e I s I a n sms to freese Britain out ef the nuclear club "and all ef the prestige and pre requisites that ga with it." Could lunacy extend any further than this? The power to wage nuclear war. which could easily devastate the planet, is viewed by these "official quarters" as the pre requisite of a private club. like White's or Boodles, where gentlemen are rated and ranked by their influence with the membership com mittee 'Don't make this dreadful decision to bomb only mili tary objectives." plead the official quarters. "Let us re tain our striking power sgainst big cities - otherwise, we will feel snubbed, we will lose caste, we will sink in prestige. God forbid, we might even lose our member ship in the nuclear club, and never again be Invited to the annual dinner-dance." I call this Insanity, not in derogation of Britain, which I dearly respect for many rea sons (not the least of which it my hsving been born there). But this it the attitude ef "ef- sides. And for the benefit of Americans, the retired officer also made this observation: "You may not like Defense Minister V. K. Krishna Men on, but he is a good adminis trator and, for the first time, Washington Report ly William (el United future ayndlcate NO MINOR AFFAIR Washington - To get to the calm facts about the political implications of the senate's rejection of President Kenne- WltfB dy't medical W- 1". V care bill, It is necessary to cut through a great deal of that breath less melodra ma which good acton call hokey the ater. Thia is no minor polit ical affair. But, notwithstand ing much shrill rhetoric from partisans snd their followers, it is not great, enormous, co lossal, bitter, direful, dread ful, or historic. - , Undoubtedly it will form an issue in some of the con gressional campaigns this fall In some places. But to sug gest, as many ar doing, that it will provide th very hinge and pivot amounts to suggest ing that the whole fate of both parties can be settled upon a single question which is far from clear-cut and far from universal in its impact on voters. MOREOVER, there is yet more excited nonsense. This is the picture being of fered of a president positive ly seething with outraged an ger and barely able to re strain himself from leaping even now upon the stump to punish the anti - medicare senators and house members and reward the others. The President is annoyed that his bill failed in the Sen ate. He is interested in re versing that verdict in the next congress. He will cer tainly take a hand in the con gressional campaign, though even now the depth of his commitment is still unset tled. He will make a dual effort. First, he will try to make sure that the new congress remains in Democratic control-not excluding those who are "bad Democrats from his point of view, for the "bad" along with the "good" are necessary to form Democratic majority. Next, he will give special help to those who from his viewpoint are the right kind of Democrats those ready to support him on medicare and many other things, too. H E HAS no intention what- out howling for th heads of these Democrats, mostly southerners, who left him on medicare and have left him on other Issues, too. The truth is that he never had any real hope for medi care at this session; for even had the bill cleared the Sen ate, it was already dead and buried in the House. So the Senate battle, if not a sham battle, was at best a battle lost before it began. What has been "proved" by medicare had already been proved over and over to all who would look and listen This is that the President has been able to take congress with him on the vital things cold war, foreign trade, foreign aid but hat not beei, able to take Congress with him on much of his do mestlc program. Why? The one, foreign policy, is basic ally conservative and has the consent of congress and coun try. The other, domestic poli cy. Is basically experimental and has not got the consent of Congress and country. 'PHIS being the bedrock re- allty, the President is, of course, not going to lunge out on any "give 'em hell" con gressional campaign for sev eral sound reasons. One ts that no amount of presiden tial "give 'em hell" could de stroy the more or less conser vative Democratic grip on Congress exercised by Its com mittee chairmen unless the Republicans won. Another is that he has got to get along with that Con gress - and those chairmen in another year and on many other issues besides medicare. A third reason is that tough as this present Congress has been on him, he would, after all. much rather deal with another Dem ocratic congress than with a Republican one. And. finally, it should not ficial quarters" everywhere -the feeling that war is a priv ate matter, a game of chess in a club, a struggle for prestige and prerequisites.

Whit be forgotten that Congress has not in fact rejected medical car for the aged, in princi ple and as such. It hat re jected a particular bill, em bodying a particular approach at a particular time, it was a bill presented to the Sen ate in so helter - skelter a way that even some who were sympathetic to the general idea would never have voted for it anyhow in these circumstances. In the Day's News By FRANK Item: In 1981, California's popu lation was 16,453,000. The California state department of finance estimates that the state's population is increas ing at a rate of 4 per cent a year. Projecting thit rate of increase forward to 1970 in dicates that by then Califor nia's population will be 23, 400,000. TTEM: The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that in 1961 the average American consumer drank 132 quarts of whole milk. That's 33 gallons of milk per capita. ITEM: If, in 1970, California's population is 23,400,000, and if each Californian consumes his 33-gaIIon quota, the con sumption of milk in the Gold en State that year will amount to- 772,000,000 gal lons. rjNE more item: " There are 43,560 cubi: feet of fluid in an acre foot. There are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot. Which means that there are 325,828 gallons of milk in an acre foot. A ' One more step: A reservoir capable of con taining 2,368 acre feet of fluid would be required to hold the milk that presumably will be consumed in California in the year 1970. That's a lot of milk. T ET'S put it this way: " It will take a lot of cows to produce 2.358 ACRE TEET Or MILK. If by 1970. there isn't standing room left In California for that many cows (along with the 23'a million people that are expected to be living In California by hat time), Southern Oregon will have at its door an at tractive milk market.

Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman said the chicken will help meet the protein requirements of the 14 million children who take part regularly In th school lunch program. The chicken will be purchased with funds appropriated under the Na tional School Lunch Act. Extremely Papular The department purchased more than 44 million pounds of young chickens in 1961 for school lunches. Officials said the product wat extremely popular with school children and state and local school lunch authorities, and will be purchased in greater quantity for use during the 1962-63 school year. The department will buy only U.S. grade A, fresh fro zen young ehlekeni in weightt ranging from 2 '4 to lVt poundt on a ready-to-cook basis. Birds are to be uniformly cut up, after grad ing, into 10 pieces, without necks. Purchases will be confined to chickens grown and pro cessed in th continental United States.
