MEDFOHD, OREGON Not Incredible To the Editor: Mr. Powell's letter, Aug. 8, '62, "Incredi ble." It looks like another give away, Mr. Powell, docs it not? To me it seems just another sign that the end of the pic ture is in the making. That all the Germanic peo ples will be under Russian dominance is certain and will be held under guard to event ually take part in the first phase of the battle of Arma geddon. (Ezk. 38.) The things for us to be con cerned with are our personal condition and standing with the one that reveals these se crets so far in advance of our newspapers; God wants us to be in readiness tor that great day, (Dan. 12:1-7) and desires us to place our trust in Him, and have faith to believe that He (Christ) can and will save us for eternity, away from greed, avarice, lust, hate, mal ice, war and death. The de liverance He affords is free and as near as the breath we invite into our lungs, for He says, "Behold I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to BUCKHORN MINERAL SPRINGS Ashland, OIltM'ji' Rnloy health. rut. rtmilnrl. and hnKpitaiHy amidst pleas ant surroundings. e MOT MINERAL BATHS fnr Rheumatism, ArthritU, Neu rllli and Nervousness. e CAmioN nioxiiiR vapor.

That a man may have peace under all conditions seems the incredible to me, but not now that I have found Him. I heard the knock, I opened the door and I heard Him say, "Let not your heart be troubled; ye be lieve in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. 1 go to prepare a place for you. And if 1 go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am ye may be also." (John 14:1-3) Eternity is a long time and He assures us that His love will last that long for He says, "Be hold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands." (Isa 49:16) and "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor hath it en tered into the hearts of men, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." (First Cor. 2:9) "A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time." (Isa. 60:22). James Williams, P.O. Box 441, Jacksonville, Ore. between Mr. Thornton, the "untested," and Gov. Mark Hatfield, the tested, exper ienced and able. We agree! Our technology and modern society is based upon quality - quality determined from a time of testing. That which has been tested and proven we retain. That which is found wanting goes to the scrap heap. In light of the foregoing, I must disagree with your ob servation that "Thornton's record as Attorney General has no real bearing on wheth er he would make a good governor. The jobs are large ly dissimilar." Isn't it true Poets' Corner Conducted by Arnold Eugene Jenny The Test To the Editor: In your edi torial of July 27, tilled "Po litical Snarlings," you do a fine job in reviewing other editorial comment of some Oregon papers which bear out the title of your editor ial. Following this compila tion you make a very lucid observation, one which bears repeating and one which should be brought to the at tention of every voter In this state. You wrote: "As a matter of fact, Thornton's abilities as a political leader and an ad ministrator are untested, de spite his many years in pub lic office." We can conclude from this that the contest is A Perfect Circle I ponder, And I grasp the seed of life. I search, And find the very essence of being. The death of a tree In it revealed a circle of nature, A perfect circle: From tree to man, from man to earth. And back to tree. And so it goes, perhaps forever, perhaps not. The birth of a. child In it another ring of life I find: From babe to child, And on to man and then to wisdom And back to child, Each man perpetuating himself and society. A perfect circle, It goes on forever, perhaps, perhaps not. Only the tree knows. I ask The tree answers and tells me of Its life: A tiny seed, It grows and raises its crest above the ground, And then the sun, Which shines upon it, brings life. And it grows old, And dies. How like a man; He grows from a tiny seed planted in the womb of woman He becomes a child, Like a tiny seedling, struggling to mature. The sun shines, The Light of Maturity glows, and he comes to Life And grows old, And dies. A tree, a man Each showing life In a perfect circle. Waller M. (Mike) Higgins III (Senior, Medford Senior High School, '62) that he has been "tested" in a vital role in state govern ment? He has been tested at the expense of the taxpayers of this state. What are the results of this exhauutive test? The records - in every way - reveal flaws in judg ment; the inability to carry through; a lack of those vital qualities which make for ef fectiveness in office. Do we promote those who can't do a lesser job to higher office? Would you go to the skilled, tested physician of good rep utation or the one of ques tionable competence? The question, Mr. Editor, that the voters of Oregon will decide on Nov. 6, is whether they want as gover nor a man of proven leader ship quality - a man who has been tested as state repre sentative, state senator, Sec retary of State, and as Gov ernor - Mark Hatfield - or whether they want a man like Mr. Thornton, who has failed test after test after test, at taxpayer expense.

I was fortunate enough to be home when the first was born. I was away when the second came and this one will be five months old before I see it. Thousands of other service men and I spend much or all of their service time away from loved ones. Service wives contend with transfers, poor housing, and small pay checks. They find themselves playing the role of both moth er and father for months at a time. There are no unions, no overtime pay, and an eight hour day often, as not, seems like a holiday. Those of you who have spent time in the service know that living con ditions, especially at sea, leave much to be desired. Despite all the adverse conditions, the loneliness, and the long hours of toil there emerges a fierce pride. Each of us feels it when we accomplish the seemingly impossible, when our outfits win efficiency awards, and our aircraft exceed all expec tations of availability. We know that our team is the best, and right now better than ever before. A recent speech by Dr. Raf ferty carries a truth that no American can ignore. Not only must these facts be ac cepted, they must be acted upon. "Our national nose has been rubbed in the dirt." Dr. Raf ferty's speech and this state ment was written a year ago. Since then our "nose" con tinues to get dirtier. We "dip lomatically" pull our troops out of the worlds hot spots. ) MONTGOMERY WARD 117 S.

You nestled yourself among tall mountain crags, Awakened in spring with the first pulsing rain; You gathered yourself with joyous refrain And moved down the canyons caressing each lane. The trees bowed in homage, the birds paced their flight With your flow and ryhthm as you paseed out of sight; You soon reached the meadows, flowers sprang into bloom, Their riotous colors subdued by the moon Which reached down with its silvery wand To bless you as you flowed on and on. 1 stand and watch with a longing heart And dream of your travels and watch how you dart Cascading and turning and bursting with song. The love which you give, O river, to me Is my own true love that I give unto thee. So scamper away to the far off sea. For my heart wilh your heart always shall be, And the song that I hear as you glide swiftly on Brings me peace and solace and I am reborn. Evelyn Miller Los Angeles, Cal.

I Castro and communism stand at our door. We give honors to men who planned the at tack on Pearl Harbor. Yes, we! You and I allow this. We send diplomats to talk j co-existence with minds that for centuries have known nothing but the most sadistic forms of brutality and mur der as a way of life. We were in conference when bombs en tombed our sailors in Pearl Harbor. Has fate doomed us to an other Pearl Harbor, one of such enormity that it will be too late to awaken? I don't think so. Although time gets shorter, we as Americans can still be masters of our fate. We are ready on land, in the air and at sea to defend our nation. Must we defend our nation on our land, in our skies, and on our seas? Must the blood of those we love be spilled before we fight? This will not happen if you and I exercise our rights as Americans, if we take an honest look at ourselves as patriots, if we face commu nism as a physical threat to our very lives. If we continue to let our ! heritage decay and replace it willi false ideals, then we must sit back and accept the ; terrible consequences. The ef-; forts and hardships of de fense will have been wasted. James R.
