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

him, and will tup with him,
and he with me." (Rev. 3:20.)
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).

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

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.

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.

Exercise Our Rights
To the Editor: Next month
T Will hp a fathpr for tha thtrH
time. 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.

Rogue River Song
O river, my river, you sing such a song
Of rapturous beauty to an endless throng
As you glide and flow to the far off sea:
0 river, my river, my heart goes with thee.
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.

Our foreign aid buys hate. 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.
