UPtown Medford
(A Fanciful Forward Look)
(From the Mai! Tribune of Sept. 6, 1972.) .
When Medford received the "All American
City" award earlier this
ries of how it was earned.
It all began about 10
the downtown area were becoming increasingly
concerned with what they saw as encroaching
"blight."
There were stores vacent; business was being
attracted to suburban shopping centers; parking
was something of a problem; some firms had
been forced out of business; others had them
selves moved to the shopping centers, or to other
out of town locations where access and parking
were ample.
COME efforts, to be
combat this.
Merchants along two
under the aggressive and determined leadership
of one woman, had undertaken one of Oregon's
first city street tree programs, and it was ac
knowledged far and wide as a model of its
kind, and was widely copied.
Others had remodeled their stores, inside and
outside, and displayed merchandise attractively,
instructed their employees in. effective service
and in courtesy. For them it paid off.
But, in too many cases, there was a defensive
air of fear and hopelessness, and a disposition to
ask for special favors.
.
"THEN, almost overnight, something happened.
A new spirit of determination and confidence
was born.
The merchant groups started getting to
gether. They decided that
should be what they called themselves, and they
organized "UPtown Medford, Inc.," a non-profit
corporation devoted to self-help, mutual help,
cooperation, beaulification, and a revivification
of the core area.
Landlords in the area were asked to join, and
lease-rental rates were discussed freely.
Money was subscribed, and a team of an arch
itect, landscape architect, and city planning ex-
Eert were retained to lay out a Grand Plan for
(Ptown Medford.
They did so, and produced a plan for an UP
town section of Medford which caught the im
agination, not only of local residents, but of citi
zens throughout the state.

explained how the tax base of UPtown Medford
was threatened, and how it was to the welfare
of the entire city and the suburbs and other
areas, too that the financial integrity of the
city be maintained and improved.
A plan was evolved, through the cooperation
of the newly-created Department of Urban Af
fairs of the federal government. It was pains
takingly explained and detailed, and finally was
put to the. vote of the people.
Most of the ultimate financing would fall on
UPtown Medford itself, but the credit of the city
would be used in the initial stages.

accomplished, almost entirely through the crea

itself, in 10 short years.' h.A.
When Life Begins
When does life human life begin?
This question has been debated for centuries,
but the recent Finkbine abortion case has revived
it, and it is again being debated strongly.
Does life begin at the instant of conception?
This is the view of some religions, including the
Roman Catholic, Catholic teaching also is that it
is immoral to use "unnatural" means to prevent
conception.
Does life begin when the unborn child quick
ens in the womb? This is the view of the English
common law, on which so much of our own juris
prudence is based.
QR DOES life begin at birth?
Genesis 2:7 says:
"God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul."
Based on this, some faiths hold that soul-life
begins with a baby's first breath, and not before.
There is no "scientific" answer to this miz
zling problem, so we all adhere to our own beliefs,
whether they be based on religious teaching or on
humanistic predilections.
No amount of debate will achieve a consensus,
any more than the medieval debates solved the
problem of how many angels can dance on the
head of a pin. E.A.

"We Don't Want ANY
Britain Short Of
Space For College
Seeking War Babies
By PETER KNOX
United Press International
London - UIPD - Queues of
students seeking admission to
Britain's 23 universities are
almost as long and slow-moving
as the old wartime food
lines.
Educational authorities ad
mit they are fighting a losing
battle in their efforts to pro
vide higher education for the
ever increasing number of
boys and girls seeking It.
They confess, too, that
things are due to get worse
before they get better.
Coming up now into the
university age bracket are the
children born when the sol
diers came marching home
from the 1939-45 war and be
gan to raise families. The end
of hostilities saw a bulge in
the birth rate that has been
straining British school fa
cilities to near breaking point
in recent years and now is
threatening to do the same to
the universities.
20,000 Places Short
It is estimated that about
50,000 students have applied
for the 30,000 places becom
ing available in British uni
versities this fall. Most of
them were born in 1944, so
thai a much higher ratio be
tween students and places can
be expected over the next
three or four years.
Unhappily for the students
involved there are long delays
before it is determined if they
have won a university place,
and only the luckiest ones get
into the university of Ihe'r
choice.
Competition for openings is
so keen that most students file
applications for several uni
versities in the hope they will
hit the jackpot somewhere. So
the actual number of applica
tions now being dealt with
by educational authorities is
about 200,000.
More brilliant students
sometimes find themselves ac
cepted by three or four uni
versities, while others were
more routine passes set turn
ed down everywhere. This in
creases the confusion. When
the boys and girls wilh high
est scholastic records make
their choice, the vncancics
they leave in the lists of the
universities they do not ac
cept then are offered to stu
dents initially rejected.
When the situation is final
ly sorted out students from
the north of England often
find themselves heading for
the south, and those from the
south for the west, and so on.
Central Office Planned
Within the next two years
it is planned to organize a
system whereby all applica
tions will be funnelled through
a central office for all uni
versities except Oxford and
Cambridge. The latter two
seats of learning, with roots
reaching back to the 13th cen
tury, maintain their own strict
rules for entrance because
they are the plum prizes
sought after by most students.
The new "centralized'' svs-
tem, however, will still leave
unresolved how to fit too
many students into too few
places. It will only make it
easier to sort out the bright
from the average.
There actually are few weak
students among the applicants
because matriculation quali
fications in this country are
high, and those with no chance
of succeeding are mostly
weeded out early in their
school careers.
The financial problem is not
a key one for most parents be
cause virtually all students
who qualify for a university
place are entitled to a grant

ance on a succeedingly re
duced scale.
Official statistics show that
over 80 per cent of the na
tion's 100,000 students are
aided by grants in one form
or another.
Educational authorities have
various plans to handle the
growing demand for places.
By the 1970's there will be
another six universities func
tioning and the total number
of students in attendance
should be about 170,000. But
for the next three or four
years, Britain's education
seeking "war babies" will
still be queueing at the doors
of higher learning - even as
their mothers and fathers
queued during the war, and
for years afterward, for al
most everything worth hav

And in Washington and
other American capitals the
argument goes on, whether, as
Nikita Khrushchev said, the
Monroe Doctrine is dead.
In Managua, Nicaragua, a
government spokesman de
manded collective military ac
tion against the Castro regime
by members of the Organiza
tion of American States. He
added:
"If the United States and
the OAS fail to act, it means
the Monroe Doctrine and the
inter-American system are
dead and the continued ex
istence of the OAS is unjus
tified." In Washington, Sen. Homer
E. Capehart, a member of the
Senate Foreign Relations com
mittee, suggested that Cuba
should be invaded to halt the
flow of Communist aid, whe
ther material or manpower.
In April, 1961, President
Kennedy told the American

Smokey The Bear
To the Editor: A retired
Master Sergeant called my at
tention to a front page article
dated Aug. 10 dealing with
legislation to prohibit the use
of mechanized vehicles on
publicly owned forest lands,
which would make a tres
passer subject to arrest and
prosecution.
The undersigned claims his
proportionate share in our Na
tional Forests.

Oregon Legislature out of of

they are lost we never get
them back.
An Arab proverb says if a
camel gets his head under the
tent the rest is sure to follow.
Fifty one years ago as an
adult I was with three other
men who nailed one of the
old type soldered cans to a
tree with a Josephine County
mining location in it. The can
is still there. The tree appears
to be a healthy tree and is
growing so fast it would make
a railroad tie if it did not die
of old age.
When the U.S. Forest Serv

Forests they were not In the

The white man was well sat

mary obligations, which are to

Last week, the President
spoke again of the Cuban situ
ation. He told a news conference:
"I think it would be a mis
take to invade Cuba."
The United States defended
the Monroe Doctrine, the
President said, by working to
"isolate the Communist men
ace in Cuba."
By implication, then, the
United States will continue to
rely on collective measures of
the OAS and will not inter
vene militarily by itself.
The words of the President,
of Capehart and the Nicara
guan spokesman are indica
tors of the division of opin
ion within the American hem
isphere over the Cuban ques
tion. This year Cuba will do
about 80 per cent of all its
business with Communist na
tions. The steady flow of Soviet
technicians, militaiy, agricul
tural and industrial, suggests
the extent to which these ex
perts have taken over impor
tant phases of Cuban life.
The steady flow of Soviet
and chartered British, Italian,
West German, Greek and Nor
wegian vessels also illustrates
the weakness of the U. S. boy
cott which never can become
truly effective without mili
tary measures - which for
global reasons the United
States wishes to avoid.

that I have known in Jose

Siskiyou county, California,
have been taken over by ald

PERSONAL PREJUDICES
Most people who talk about
"conscience" don't realize that
conscience is a capacity, and
not a standard; the cannibal's
conscience for instance, tells
him it is "immoral" not to
devour his enemy after battle.
A person who feals com
pelled to tell others about
his past tins it still a little
bit infatuated with them;
confession can be as much a
matter of pride at of peni
tence. It is fruitless to look back
upon our parents and grand
parents and exclaim that they
got along better in marriage
than we do today; they got
along better because they ex
pected less, and we live in an
age of "rising expectations,"
not only economically, but
emotionally as well.
Self-interest ia the be

Amiel observed a century
ago: "Self-interest it but the

humanity only begint for a
man with telf-turrender."
It seems plain to me that
our personal liberties in
America are more endanger
ed by the rabid anti-Communists
among us than by the
small and impotent band of
Communists here. History
shows that whenever a group
wants to "save" a nation from
some threat, the self - styled
saviors themselves become a
greater threat, as in Germany.

Lovers who make vows to

calendars; a man always
