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

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

God's Decrees
To the Editor: "Clemency
Appeal" - M.T. Monday, July
30.
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.

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.

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!

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.)

As the fair passed the half

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
