Against Stadium To the Editor: I have writ ten the following letter to the Jackson County Court: Gentlemen: Well here is where I make a lot of sports minded folks mad at me. I do not favor the building of the proposed stadium with county funds. I think there are several items much more necessary to the people of Jackson county than the pro posed stadium. One of the more important Items needed in this county and well within the finan cial ability of our county is the formation of camps for boys such as those in Lane county but paid for by the county of Jackson. There is no need whatsoever for state Poets' Corner Canductet by Arnold Eugene Jenny Proi. Vena, Poetry It is in the use ot the emotional element that poetry differs chiefly from prose, for although emotion is present In prose, it is there properly subordinated to reason, while in poetry it is one of the dominant elements. And in this respect also poetry differs from mere verse, for when a piece of writing depicts an emotion which gives the sense of being false, when it is mawkish or overdone, when it docs not carry the reader with it, it cannot lay claim to real merit. -Gerald Sanders -O- Froms An Essay on Man Heav'n from all creatures hides the book of Fate; All but the page described, their present state: From brutes what men, from men what spirits know; Or who could suffer being here below? The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to-day, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play? Pleased to the last, he crops the flow'ry food, And licks the hand just raised to shed his blood. Oh, blindness to the future! kindly giv'n. That each may fill the circle marked by Heav'n, Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurled, And now a bubble burst and now a world. -Alexander Pope (1773) (Suggested by Mrs. Alice Applegate Peil, The Manor, Medford) -O- Creations Of My Soul I am happy Within. Joy spreads warmly through my being. If I were an artist I would paint my masterpiece with blazing hues of color. If I were an angel I would sing gloriously from my soul-silver notes that shimmer in the air. ' If I were a sculptor I would mold a living symbol of my heart. If I were God I would create a splendor of rainbows in the heavens. But I am only I. , I am. So I will listen to the melodies my heart sings silently. I will watch with quiet eyes the beauty of joy. I will feel the sculpture of my life, being molded by these moments. And the rainbows will always frame the clouds of my dreams. -Nancy Duncan (Senior, Medford Senior High School, '62) It's not the lover who is bound by love. But his beloved. It's not the love we give that forges chains, But love received. Wrapped 'round with promises and tied with dreams The pretty gift is filled with hidden snares. No prisons yet are made that hold more sure Than prisons which the heart of love prepares. Oh, my beloved, when the day shall come That love has cooled and passion's gone away, Love's prison doors will open wide and I Will strike your chains and will not bid you stay. For love alone is love if it can see It has no right to hold what would be free. -Louise Livingston Medford Us Make Room for New Fall . Merchandise.

The proposed stadium will only benefit those who play ball games and will not help in any way those who are not sports-minded. If the coumy u going to provide recreation then it should be for all and that is rather impracticable. Now, for example, I think it more fun to make something, any thing, than to watch a ball game. I'd rather run my lathe or a shaper, planer, boring mill, radial drill, or other ma chine shop equipment, than fish, play ball or water ski, etc., any day. Right now I am in the pro cess of building a light duty iO o combination pole-dolly semi trailer to be used with a V4 ton pickup. When I get through I'll not only have had the pleasure of building something I'll have some thing useful to show for the time spent. If the county has some ex tra money to spend they can equip a small machine shop woodworking shop in the Butte Falls area for us shop fans. Of course the sports crowd wouldn't like that. But after all it would be just as fair as the providing of recreation facilities at the various lakes and ball parks. Floyd R. McCabe Mt. Pitt Star rt. Butte Falls, Ore. Net Iniquity To the Editor: Seldom do I react to a letter to the Edi tor as I did in reading one in your paper of Monday, Aug. 13. A Mr. Bulman "foams In shame" at the rather open ex pression of nudity which our culture has at last permitted. and his bases of objection are some rather far fetched verses which he lifted from the Bi ble and used completely out of context. If he enjoys cov ering all of his body because of a shame complex that is his privilege, but those of us who enjoy "the wind and sun upon the body" would cer tainly not want to emulate his ways. Apparently he does not think the head as being gross ly obscene, since he would al low "hats off" in honor of people covering themselves like they did in Victorian days. He does not realize that the reason for the existence of "burlesque dives" is the fact that society has forbidden the natural and wholesome view, ing of the human body by the artificial emphasis of fashion, and the ancient Manlchean theology that permeated much of Christendom, I.e.: the body is evil and only the spirit is good. Such a philosophy has been the basis of the struc ture Of our society today, and the result of such a philosophy is a perversion of the very na ture of man and a fostering of the evils which Mr. Bulman decries. I want my four children brought up with a wholesome acceptance of the human body, with a sense of grati tude to the Creator of Life for the power of their sexual na ture, and with the ability to assess the duplicity of a so ciety which forbids nudity yets allows the double stand ard to operate. Thus, each summer when my teaching duties are over we pack off to a nudist camp so that the children can learn the real values of life and so my wife and I can relax in an atmos phere of purity and decency. We would welcome Mr. Bulman, but I fear that his concept that such camps are "cesspools of iniquity" would preclude his visiting, though certainly the several dozen non-nudist guests we had at White Oak Lodge for a play recently would attest that nu dity is not iniquity and the only cesspools we have are the ones at the end of the sanitation lines! There is little we can do with the cesspools of people's minds who want to think evil. Herb Seal Staff Psychologist Christian Counseling Service P. O. Box 1 Felton, Calif. Shelters To the Editor: It surely Is most disturbing to see Wash ington, D.C, officials going along with private individuals and interests to revive the bomb fall-out shelter thing after Its defeat in the House of Representatives, whose members are from or deter minedly representing rural districts that have been rec ognized as the balance-wheel, keeping the shlp-of-state on even keel and course. When it first emerged nigh two years ago, it caught many of us unsure and obviously bewildered. Especially when defense officialdom announc ed over the radio that Russia had fall-out shelters for man, woman and child. This would indicate the bear that walks like a man was about to strike an all-crushing blow, some thing beyond retaliatory pow er to cope with. My very first public comment was to keep our shirts en and not rush Into disaster like bear-scared sheep. The most reassuring word was when the Christian Sci ence Monitor sent an observer hurrying to Russia. He re ported back that In an entire trip from Leningrad to Mos cow, and some side-trips, not one fall-out shelter building could be seen. Later on, this was confirmed by Mrs. Khru shchev to a peace corps dele gation, that no fallout shelters were being built there as they were considered impractical. However, local defense offi cials Initiated a public meet ing in the courthouse ts sr- MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON range itorage for freight truck loads of emergency food containers. My objection to it as being impractical and de void of merit was shouted down and a demand for a return objection was denied me. Also a grey-haired lady. When the meeting was ad journed, not one person stopped to commend me or the grey-haired lady. Some three months ago, an eminent biologist pointed out how impossible fall-out shel ters would be, that the insect tribes would get less nuclear radiation than any other crea ture. Mankind would get ten times as much. And our best protector against the insect horde, our birds all, would get ten times more than we and would be first to disap pear from the face of this earth. Without them, he warn ed, human life would be im possible here. Such a pity it is that so many people will go for such an impossible thing, when a little hard rea soning would prove its utter worthlessness. F. J. Clifford. Route 2, Box 200F, Central Point, Ore. Hetpital Hopes To the Editor: With both of Oregon's United States sena tors backing the proposal, it is quite possible that a hos pital for veterans will be es tablished by next summer. David Frisch, P.O. Box 292, White City, Ore. -O- Dear Mr. Frisch: Thank vou verv much for vour re cent letter and the copy of the letter you received from the Veterans Administration, which states it would not he possible to obtain the medical specialists required. I believe because of the growth and develoDment of Josephine and Jackson coun ties, as well as elsewhere in southern Oregon and north ern California, spec 1 a 1 1 s t s would be available for Vet erans Administration hospi tals. I understand that the last survey made on this subject was done by the Veterans Ad ministration some ten years ago and does not reflect the current situation. A survey would need to be made by the Oregon State Medical as sociation and for the Jackson and Josephine county associa tions. I am certain it Is only a matter of time until a VA hospital is established for southern Oregon and northern California. I am afraid noth ing is going to happen Imme diately, but we must remain active so we will - h ahu to take advantae of th tlon when the appropriate time arrives.

Because we are new in concept, as compared to the established de finition of a nursing home, it is understandable that our function as a medical care facility is not generally familiar. Our service includes a superior level of the complete range of nursing home care. Basically, we differ from the facility which specializes in care of the aged through having com bined with this function a complete physical therapy depart ment. This expands considerably the scope of service pro vided. Our rates do not exceed those of the conventional nursing home. Rates include meals and all supplies and materials necessary to patient care except medications, physical therapy, X-Rty and medical laboratory charges. This information is offered in response to inquiries most often made.

Lest Csntinants To the Editor: That there were once two continents, now submerged In the Atlan tic and Pacific oceans, is not only a theory and legend, but evidence to support the tacts is self evident. History speaks of the earth eons ago before any rain fell upon the planet, as a mist from the canopy above fell upon the ground and watered the whole earthl One of the many obscure land or rock marks is in Lake County, Oregon, near Lake Abert; Abert rim, the huge basalt rock fault, larg est of Its kind in north Amer ica. The ancient symbols painted on the sheer walls by some early human race now extinct. So far as we have learned the ancient pic ture writing on stone has never been deciphered by the present day aborigines. Some authorities we read give credit to the Lemurians. Bert Kissinger, 322 South Riverside ave., Medford A Jeb Te Be Dene To the Edtior: A man wsj convicted of a brutal slaying of a child in February, 1981, and was sentenced to die, This man was tried and found guil ty by a jury of 12 persons who had reviewed this man's life since he was a child, which as I understand was mostly a life of crime. After a lengthy deliberation, and very care ful consideration of the case, McGahuey was found guilty by unanimous decision. I personally feel that Gov. Hatfield made the right deci sion, in that he did not com mute the death sentence of LeeRoy Sanford McGahuey. I doi. t believe I am a sadist because I believe an eye for for an eye. I think that most people feel the same way. Maybe for a few the murder of a baby would have to be closer to home, before they would face reality. We forget too quickly the brutal slaying of Mrs. Hile, by James Norman Jensen, who was found guilty and sen tenced to die. His sentence was commuted by Gov, Holmes. He was then placed in the insane asylum in S' lem. After serving a short time he and another inmate escaped with help from guard. Luckily they were re captured in a farm home and again by a stroke of luck, the family was gone. Could have been another gruesome story over again. I say nobody can prove a murderer is rehabilitated, if so, what made him do it In the first place? Will he have another compulsive fit of pas sion, as the reporter put it? Or is he a psychotic, who in the instant they take anoth er's life couldn't care less what will happen to them afterwards? After all, a man condemned to life in prison Is eligible for parole in seven years. I'm sure nobody wants the job of putting this murderer in the chamber, but It Is a Job that has to be done by some one. Before we start taking sides, let's stop and think what if it were your child? I would sug gest that if our dewey-eyed reporter feels he can't face up to his Job, he should get t replacement.
