Chihuahua, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3. 1062 Oregon Outdoor Recreation Over the years we have seen many study re ports of one kind or another. They have ranged all the way from rough mimeographed reports of a sketchy nature to elaborate bound and printed volumes. One of the best perhaps the very best we have ever seen was published earlier this week by the state of Oregon. It is entitled Oregon Out door Recreation, a study of non-urban parks and recreation. It is a splendid job from every standpoint format, printing, writing, illustrations, clarity and completeness. UVERY public agency at all concerned with public recreation should make haste to obtain a copy. It will also be or great interest to anyone interested in Oregon's magnificent recreational resources and potentialities. The volume is profusely illustrated, not only with fine -black and white pictures, but with charts and maps and graphs, many in color, which present its message clearly and succinctly. Its recommendations are clear and thoughtful and of immediate impact THE report deals not needs which obviously fall within the respon sibility of the state, but also deals with county and federal government It covers the entire sents its findings and clarity and force, and with meticulous documen tation and supporting factual statements. Many people and preparation of the report, and it really is a co operative endeavor, although the state parks and recreation division of the state highway depart ment deserves the major credit for the iob. We commend the book highly, and believe it will be of intense interest to any Oregonian in terested in the present and future of outdoor rec reation of all. kinds in the state. E. A. Another Organization We have been told this is the age of the or ganization man. It is also the age of the organization, period. There are AA (for Alcoholics Anonymous, people banded together to fight their own prob lems and to help each other) ; TOPS (for Take Off Pounds Sensibly, people who mutually help others and themselves to reduce) ; ADDL (for Anti-Digit Dialling League, people who dislike the telephone company's all number calling and want a return to word-prefixes on telephone num bers) ; SPEBQSA (Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, which is self-explanatory), to name only a few out of thousands. , 1IE HAVE recently heard of another, rather new, mutual-help organization. It is PWP, standing for Parents Without Partners, and it is designed to assist parents who, through divorce or death, have lost their husbands or wives. Such people have special problems, arising from the lack of one parent. They include how to keep their children from feeling "different"; now to overcome their own feelings of loneliness, hostility or guilt; how to live more nearly normal lives; how to ease the grief often attendant on such circumstances. They work at these through social gatherings, through special lectures by experts in various fields, through discussion groups, and through parent-child activities. IN JUST a short time the organization has spread across the country from New York, where it originated, and there are several thou sand members, mostly in organized chapters. The organization puts out a monthly journal which discusses legal problems, gives news of activities, quotes letters from members, and pub lishes a calendar of events. Not all single parents, of course, could or would obtain benefits from PWP, but many have already done so. Detailed information is avail able from Parents Without Partners, Inc., SO Fifth Avenue, New York 11. N. Y. E. A. The SI 8,000,000 Hyphen The case of the $18,000,000 hyphen is a fasci nating commentary on the fabulous and complex age in which we live. During the launching of a Venus probe rocket last month, a computer was in use to give the rocket its guidance instructions. In the computer equation, one hyphen was left out. It was crucial, because it was a signal to the rocket's controls to ignore a subsequent series of signals. Because i it was missing, the controls followed the later signals, which sent the rocket plunging toward j earth. I Missing: one hvphen; missing: one $18,000, 1 000 rocket. THAT'S a pretty high works out to a little less than 10 cents for each American. But it is a drop in the bucket in our over-all ; space and military programs. There will be other j costly failures before we're through. j But the incident does dramatize neatly the fix we're in, where we must donend on electronics and mechanics to do much or our thinking and acting for us, but where one tiny human error can send $18,000,000 worth of hardware plun ging to destruction.

We Intrigue our fancies with strange arguments these days, and lay facts away in the moth balls at times. We bemoan the death sen tence of a murderer and at the same time are making no protest that will forbid the construction of weapons that will cause mass murder. Sentiment is a wonderful possession; it can sometimes border on love, but can never take the place of love; that is true love. "God is Love" (First Jn. 4:8). Is our ability to judge su perior to His? When He says "Thou shalt not kill," does He really mean that? The 119th Psalm, 160th verse, gives us this thought: "Thy Word is true from the beginning; and every one of Thy righteous judgements en dureth forever." Now comes the command from our Creator, Jesus, after the flood which was caused by disobedience. Gen. 9:8, "Who so sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made He man." Is there anything that can repay the loser of life by murder? Or can he in any wise contact God to make himself right In God's sight? His chance for salvation and eternal life is gone for ever, in case he was not a Christian when slain. Now how about the murder er? While his trial is in prog ress ne is yet alive and may seek to make his peace with God, for he has an "Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous" (First Jn. 2:1) and has the assurance of for giveness upon the confession of his sin. He is able to save to the "uttermost" those that "come unto God by Him" (Heb. 7:25). Let us love our neighbor as ourselves and do everything possible to encourage h i m into righteous life; but let us never endeavor to thwart God's decrees or laws. James Williams P.O. Box 441 Jacksonville, Ore. The Earth Is Round To the Editor: Mr. Ray Prichard of Central Point suggests that we blame the Communists for our economic and social ills. Why not? Blaming others for ignor ance and stupidity is a time tested custom that barkens back to the ancient Hebrews and their practice of employ ing a "scapegoat" to carry the sins of society. Although I surmise that Mr. Prichard was jesting. It must be understood that there are legions that do not share his sense of humor. As yet, not all superstition is eradi cated from the human race and many there are that sin cerely believe that commu nism is the source of all evil. So it is highly probable that if he was fishing in satirical water his honk snagged a log. Jokes are (or the sophisti cated only. The ignorant should be taught. Is "poverty" bad' If so what is bad about j it? In a class society, such as ; ours, are the poor not always with us? It is the rich, poor and struggling middle cl.iss that composes a class society. Here we have three distinct j classes in our commercial I economic system, any of which nny or may not remain static. But as the caldron boils they struggle for status. Status j is the individual's purpose in i life. j Communists are neither ' Imps nor angels, but rather: economic experts and social scientists that are engaged in building a new society or so cial system and economic MEDFORD MAIL order. Mr. Prichard says that there is something wrong somewhere. Not so. It is just a case of an economic order going to seed. A people's economy is a living thing just as any other organism. They assemble nutrition, grow up and die. Not many people know that, especially politi cians. To mention it is like saying the earth is round and it rotates. I am a sort of a rat for explaining it, so bring on the hemlock or rat poison. Walter Reece 77 Manzanita st, Ashland Poor Things! 'To the Editor: Statistics show that Medford schools are among those with the highest rating in the nation. We give these young people every opportunity to learn; we tell them to use their heads, to think; we diligently search for the leader material among them so that it can be developed for the world's most urgent need. And what happens? The first time they put these de mands into practice we slap them down with "Children should be seen and not heard." They are not children. They are not juvenile delinquents. Teen-ager is not synonomous with delinquent. Juvenile de linquents are too busy trying to be' delinquent to write in telligent letters to the editor. Why shouldn't they tell us their views? Adults arc cry ing "What's wrong with them?" Doesn't the patient tell the doctor where it hurts? Adults are notably poor sports in any tussle of age versus youth. When their barbs are too sharp or too close to home, we dodge be hind our frosty manes and yell "Foul!" while never for a second letting up on the barrage we are hurling at them. If one claims to be an ex pert at child-raising he is either kidding himself or is a rare phenomenon. Those of us who have been around the clock a few times know that child-raising is like educa tion: the more you have the more you know how little you do know. What will become of the younger generation? Why, they will become adults, that's what. Poor things!

TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Vastly Important Common Market Plans For Britain By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Brussels - Here in Bel gium's ancient capital, a hand ful of men are engaged in negotiations fateful to the en tire western world and with a heavy penalty the price of fail ure. The nego tiations con cern Britian's entry into the six-nation Eu pean Common LA Newsom Market. If these negotiations suc ceed, then the Common Mar ket, now an economic commu nity of 170 million people, In the Day's News B FRANK JENKINS From Washington: Sen. Wayne Morse (D.-Ore.) questions the truthfulness of Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana in the senate Tuesday and told him he would NO LONGER look to him as his majority leader. He added: "So far as I am concerned, he (Senator Mansfield) will never represent me as my ma jority leader . . . again. He is the majority leader, but NOT with the support of the senator from Oregon. Get that clear!" Before things simmered down, Senator Morse extend ed his disavowal of leadership to Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.), t h e Democratic party whip, or assistant ma jority leader. IVHY, Senator! ' You AMAZE us! Out this way, we have al ways assumed that you have NEVER acknowledged ANY BODY as your leader. (Editor's note: According to a story printed in the Oregon Journal, Senator Morse later apologized to Sen. Mansfield.) PROM Rothschild, Wisconsin: 1 During what witnesses described as a quiet and rou tine meeting last night, the Rothschild village board of supervisors adopted an ordi nance that would OUTLAW the barking of dogs. WHY the lifted eyebrow? Dogs, you say, just WILL bark when they feel that way? True enough. But when anything annoys us we Americans fix every thing up by PASSING A LAW AGAINST IT. It's an old es tablished custom among us. PROM Seattle: Century 21 turned the halfway corner the other day with an attendance of four and a half million people 250,000 more than had been expected. It looks like it might end up with a profit. As the fair passed the half way mark, the attendance fig ure dramatized the happy end ing that is shaping up after a beginning that was marked by mistakes caused by TOO MUCH PLANNING. CARRY the word to our plan ners in Washington. If they would do a little less planning and a little more re alistic paying of debts as they come due our nation would be better off. We've done a lot of plan ning in recent years, but the heck of it is that we're 300 BILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT. Saskatchewan Pact Ratified Regina, Sask. -H'PP- Agree ments that ended Saskatche wan's doctors' strike last month were ratified Thursday following the shortest session in the province's legislative history. No dissenting votes were cast during three readings of the amendments at the one day session. Opposition members pro posed six charges in the amendments during a stormy debate, but all were voted down. The special session was promised as part of a govern ment agreement with the province's College of Physici ans and Surgeons that ended the 23-day doctors' strike. The amendments guarantee doctors the right to practice outside the medicare act and allow the continuation of pri vate medical insurance agen cies. EXPECT FURTHER TESTS Washington-.VPI' - Informed sources said today they ex pected further underground nuclear tests in Nevada, where there have already been 4P shots in the current series.

REFUGEES We feel sympathy for the millions killed by the Nazis and enslaved by the Commu nists, but few of us are able to i d e n ti f y with the mil lions of others who were up rooted and forced to flee the land of their birth. The word Hr. u "refug ee" does not resonate, for we in America can hardly concieve of being torn away from our homes and jobs, our families and friends. We cannot even imagine what it is like to move thousands of miles away, penniless, speaking a foreign language, split off for ever from the only culture we have ever known. A few colleagues at my newspaper, including myself, moved our offices a few feet down the hall last week. It was in the same building, on the same floor, and offering much the same facilities. Yet it was a deeply traumatic ex perience for most; it gave them a brooding sense of in security and discontent; they were edgy and upset for days. This was the most mini mal of moves, made in iha most benign atmosphere yet there is something deep in the human animal that resists and resents any sud den change of environment that is involuntary. It de peoples us, and makes us feel like "things," Can we even imagine what it must be like to flee . one's homeland, leaving everything behind? This is tearing one's life out by the roots. It calls for a com plete re-arrangement of our emotions, oir basic patterns of living, our thoughts, our speech, our public and pri vate altitudes. And it scares us with the apprehension however irrational that it might happen again, as sud denly and inexplicably as it happened once before. The real tragedy of our lime has been this mass evacuation in parts of Europe, in Africa, in much of Asia. People are fleeing, like animals before a forest fire, leaving all behind. No other sight brings home so sharply to me the feeling that we are still living in a barbarous era, that man kind has left the Dark Ages only technically, not moral ly. Everywhere, men and wo men and children are the vic tims of forces they scarcely comprehend, pawns in a gi gantic power battle. And the supreme irony of today, the final twist of the knife, is that Marxist-Leninism, which arose presumably to free the pawns from the power strug gle, has become the most in exorable master, the most in satiable tyrant of all. The 20th century has been the Age of Flight, unparallel ed in human history; Ger many, Poland, Algeria. Indo nesia, South Africa, these and more to come. What'fruit can grow from these uprooted branches but the bitter berries of hate and fear and mutual mistrust? Salem Looking For 'Sister City' Salem - HP!' - City officials said today that Salem still is looking for a "sister city" overseas. But whether the most obvious, Salem, India, wil! join in the overseas pact, still remains doubtful. Letters to officials of the India city have produced little enthusiasm, local officials said. But Salem's Rotary club is attempting to gain support from the Rotary club in the India city. If this effort fails, two Japanese cities. Yufuin and Ashigawag. have expressed interest in such a project. Several Oregon cities, in cluding Medford, Eugene and Portland, have established "sister city'' ties with over seas communities.

At odds are Britain s deter mination to protect the mem bers of the British common wealth, and the Six's equal determination that if Britain joins the Common Market she must do so with full accept ance of all the political and economic conditions to which the Six already are bound.

Actually, they are striking at President John F. Kennedy, that Presi dent to whom they gave almost hysterical support, vocally that Is - so long as they were sure he was ahead. There was a not-distant time when they were in apo plectic rage at any suggestion that there could possibly be anything wrong in the best of all possible Democratic worlds under Kennedy. BUT THAT time has gone, as recent scenes on the Senate floor have so clearly demonstrated. For what these "Liberals" have been assault ing with shrill venom is not Mike Mansfield's bill. It is a bill sent forward by Presi dent Kennedy, though with a bipartisan backing so massive that it passed the House of Representatives by 334 to 9 and commands in the Senate now the support of the entire Republican membership and at least three-fourths of the Democratic membership. That bill would establish a corporation to control Ameri can participation in the coming world space commu nications system. Half of the stock would be owned by the existing communications com panies and half by the invest ing public. Directors would represent the people, the in dustry and the government alike.
