Understanding Issues
To the Editor: Your editor
ial. "The Controversial Dr.
Teller," on Thursday, Oct. 11,
urged serious consideration of
Dr. Edward Teller's opinions
on survival. I agree that how
to survive is a grave problem
in this nuclear age and one
that many persons ignore be
cause it is too horrendous.
Do you know how to keep
this question open for debate
and discussion? How can
every citizen be given the op
portunity of judging for him
self whether the accumula
tion o increasingly destruc
tive weapons is the road to
-survival or to disaster?
Perhaps through your edi-
torial section more space
could be given to Dr. Teller's
views and then equal space to
rebuttal as his views pro
duced agreement and vehe
ment dissent from readers
when presented at length in
.three issues of the Saturday
. Evening Post last February.
Eight scientists and genetic--ists,
faculty members of east
ern universities presented
their opinions and conclu
sions later in the April 14
"Post.
The latter article points
out that the majority of Dr.
Teller's fellow scientists dif
fer sharply with his judg
ments. They believe that it
- will do no good to continue
:the fiction that we are deal-
- infi merely with unimportant
difference of opinion between
technicians. To let Dr. Tel
lcr's proposals go unexamined
and thus increase their
chances of adoption may
cause the loss of incalculable
', lives.
The arguments of these
,' learned men need to be heard
"by all our neighbors and
friends. Los Angeles organi
zed a three-session Seminar
on Survival. The forum could
be carried from your paper
: to the community.
This kind of effort would
help us to understand the is
sues being negotiated at the
United Nations, banning nu
clear tests and disarmament.

Dozens of CORE men and
women have been brutally
manhandled, several slain, but
not once has a nonviolent re
sister so mucn as whacked an
attacker. With both legal
statutes and moral ethics on
their side, they uncompromis
ingly stand for law and right
with an all-but-human fear
lessness and courage. To per
suade they solely rely on in
tellectual convincement, in
nate goodness and determined
winsomeness; never forces oi
presures, either physical or
mental.
With steadily increasing
arms caches among both
whites and blacks in numer
ous multi-racial communities,
it is only the correspondent
spread of nonviolent (non-military)
philosophy by such in
terracial groups as CORE (and
some three or four others),
that, most likely, has prevent
ed to date wide-spread rioting
and slaughter.
The misleading connotation
of the above 'militant' seems,
as well as basically untrue,
tragically unfortunate.

In Their Hearts
To the Editor: On behalf of
my colleagues in the United
States Office of The Exper
iment, and on behalf of the
more than 1,700 nationals
from 72 countries who shared
the warm hospitality of Amer
ican homes this past year, I
wish to extend my deep grat
itude to the people of Med
ford, who gave so generously
of their time and effort to
make Giuseppe Dulto not a
stranger from Italy visiting
the United States, but a true
member of the Medford com
munity. The preamble to the
UNESCO charter states that
"since wars begin in the
minds of men, it is In the
fenses of peace must be con
structed." The people of Med
ford have amply demonstrat
ed that the defenses of peace
are being constructed, not
only in their minds, but even
more significantly, in their
hearts.

Comparison Welcomed
To the Editor: I would like
to publicly thank the Medford
unit of the League of Women
Voters for affording me the
opportunity of appearing on
their recent Candidates Fair
program.
Ballot box decisions are
good decisions only when the
voter has good knowledge of
the views of the candidates.
Such meetings as the one
sponsored by the LWV cer
tainly give the voters an ex
cellent opportunity to make
comparisons. I welcome com
parison. The voters of Jackson coun
ty also demonstrated in this
instance that they are truly
interested in the campaign.
When a crowd of that size
turns out on a wet and windy
night it is obvious that there
is high interest in the elec
tion. A candidate can ask no
more than this.

Animals Not Hurt
To the Editor: I read the
article "Cruelty" in Sunday's
Poets' Corner
Conducted by
Arnold Eugene Jenny
Insult To Oregonians
To the Editor: Because they
were denied representation In
parliament, American colo-
nists in 1773 rebelled against
. British imposition of taxes on
,-lca and other imports. The
.battle cry "no taxation with
out representation" expressed
the determination of the
American colonies either to
secure fair and equal rcpre
irntation or, as the alterna
. tive, to seek independence.
Today in Oregon an at
tempt is being made to give
some citizens greater voting
strength than others. Ballot
, measure 9 would have some
. representatives in the legisla
,'.ture with four times the num
ber of constituents as other
representatives. The proposed
constitutional amendment is
unfair and contrary to the
cherished principle of one
man, one vole. It would arti
ficially increase the value of
votes cast by people who live
In sparsely populated counties
at the expense of people who
live in densely populated
areas, whose votes would be
come seriously devalued.
Seats in the legislature
should be apportioned on the
basis of population, as at pres
ent and as the Oregon Consti
, tution has required since we
gained statehood in 1859, so
. that each slate representative
, . represents as nearly as possi
. ble the same number of pco
. pie.
Ballot measure fl would
lead to taxation without equal
. . representation. It would mean
minority rule instead of ma
jority rule. It is an insult to
Oregon and to Oregonians.
" Fair minded voters, no matter
where they live in Oregon,
should vote against measure 9.

Communications pertaining to
rodeo livestock.
1 disagree whole hcartedly
with the article sent in by
Clara Donelson.
My father has been con
nected with rodeos ever
since he was 12 years old. He's
63 now.
Dad started me when I was
nine years old to learn and
love this profession. We rodeo
ed steadily for eight or ten
years and have taken care of
rodeo stock.
A bucking horse or a Brah
ma bull are not made to buck.
They are born with this art
bred into them. These two
particular animals have a very
easy life compared to some
of the animals alive seen in
the Rogue River valley.
A bucking horse and a
Brahma bull work 8 seconds
at a time, and work about 3 or
4 days in a year of actual
total work.
They arc fed, sheltered, and
handled about the best of any
livestock any where.
Dad moved from John Day
to Klamath Falls in 1936. In
1937 he started work for Max
Barber, who at one time had
the best rodeo string around
the country. He started as a
pick up man. Previous to this
he had his own rodeo string
near John Day.
As to spurring a horse or
bull, it does not hurt them.
You do pull a little hair out,
but we all know it doesn't
hurt much.
You have to spur an ani
mal to keep yourself in a sit
ting position, to pull you up
on your bareback rigging or
bull rope, so you can score
and participate in the finals.
A flank strap is not needed
on many animals to make
them buck. Also It doesn't
hurt the animal in any way.
It is rougher on the rider
than the livestock.
Is a rodeo stock furnisher
going to pay $1,000 to $2,500
for an animal just to have it
mistreated? I know they won't
abuse these animals in any
way.
A guy who has had his
share of bumps
(Name on file)
results along any line of or
ganized power.
Now more than any other
time, whether Republican or
Democrat, should combine
their best efforts to bring
about peace and contentment
to this nation, yours and mine,
America, to overcome the
existing difficult conditions
that are gnawing at the peo
ples' minds and bring about
a happy and prosperous situa
tion. I am not in favor of a split
in political parties, but if each
party thinks that his party is
right, let them combine all
their efforts to make it a bet
ter America, and be Repub
licrats. Let us coin this new
word for Togetherness.

Reflections en Boyhood Days
Do trout await the tempter's bait
Under the alder shade,
And are there tracks In river silt
An anllered monarch made?
Do quail still haunt the hillside
Where manzanita grows, '
And pheasants rise with startled cries
From corn and orchard rows?
And tell me, do mushrooms still come
In fertile pasture loam?
These things a little boy would know,
Grown old and far from home.

R.F.D. For Me
You can have the city
With its booming traffic roar;
I'll take the country
With the green grass for my floor.
You can have your subways
Your theaters and shows;
I'll take a winding path
Where the laughing flower grows.
You ran have your penthouse,
Apartment or your flat;
But it's by a peaceful cottage
That I'll spread my welcome mat!

O
Georgian Elegy
The full-orbed moon her lustre sheds
And floods the land with lambent light.
The snowy ridge of distant mounts
Dissolves into the heavens bright.
Deep quiet holds the breath of night;
My mother-land in silence lies.
Yet oft is heard an anguished moan
As Georgia in her slumber sighs.
I stand alone . . . The mountains, shades,
The slumber of my land caress.
O God! O God: when will we wake
And rise again to happiness?

Togetherness
To the Editor: Things which
have been created are always
groups. They consist of one
reality which is an idea.
Anything which exists as a
factor or condition anywhere,
anytime, is the outpouring of
the activity of a group of
ideas. The law requires that
two or more must gather be
fore power shall become evident.
A group of Ideas working
together produce a result
which is know generally
a reality. When all the ideas
work toward a common pur
pose or idea, the work of the
group is constructive and up
holding, harmonious and
healthy, it produces happi
ness, peace and contentment.
When ideas argue or quarrel,
or disagree among themselves.
there must be some sort of
adjustment.
Ideas are always at work.
They are always In action. It
is found that the superior con
trols the inferior, the stronger
govern the weaker. A group
of ideas muster more power
than an individual idea, the
individual ideas seek com
panionship with others of
their kind, as the common
saying, "Birds of a feather
flock together."
Individual ideas and each
individual helps do the work
of the whole. When the entire
personnel or a household or a
combined body of an organiza
tion, or government body
work together, each for all
and all for the welfare of
each, that house prospers.
Such division of the house
hold of mentality is referred
to by St. Paul, where he pro
claimed the fact that he was
split personality, and that
one part of his mind did one
thing, while another part re
pudiated what the other had
done, and therein gave expres
sion to the fact more or less
common to us all "The things
I would do, 1 do not and find
that there is a warring among
members". Conscious purpose,
consistent effort will produce
Coyotes
To the Editor: Deer hunters
are bringing disturbing re
ports, for the farm folk at
least. A party from the south
Bly lands of eastern Oregon
were more than surprised to
find their favorite hunting
spot invaded by coyotes. And
the onetime exclusively prairie-wolf
appeared quite re
sentful of the bi-legsed invad
ers, voicing it in his stacatlo.
resentfully yelling at any un
due noise or needled imita
tion, sounding off distantly as
well as surprisingly near.
Plenty of old deer tracks
but none new. This held lo
the fourth day slay when the
coyotes seemed to have dis
gustedly left. At least fresh
deer track showed, but the
seasoned hunters returned
home empty handed. They
seemed to get some consola
tion in reporting one camp
of some 25 hunters with one
deer credit.
It would be interesting to
Know what the Fish and Wild
life chiefs think of the above
in connection with the recent
MT reporting of a 4 per cent
cut in lederal money for pred
atory animal control.
In a kind of confessed sad
istic way, I can't help but ad
mire the sagacity of the coy
ote. Time was when he was
quite willing to cat second
table lo the big loafer buffalo
killer wolf. But the coming of
the bi-legged killer changed
all this. With the buffalo soon
gone, little prairie-wolf, with
great adaptability, started eat
ing second-table to the white
invader, and alt too soon
changed it to first-table eat
ing, even unto this day, de
spite hunter and dog, trap and
poison.
His economic brother, the
Indian, held the coyote in
great respect, never, even In
the hungry moon of February
and March, laying lethal hand
on smart brother coyote. For
said coyote was the native
tribesman's pipe-line straigh
to the Great Spirit's wickiup.
When in dire need, the coyote
was ever ready to listen to his
economic brother's call for
help. If properly tanned and
decorated robes of buffalo,
deer and elk were properly
displayed on sacrificial bush,
coyote would report same to
the Great Spirit and said
Great Spirit would delegate
coyote with proper power to
accomplish what his distressed
brother so desired. Evidence
of which is interestingly seen
along the great Columbia
river today, as well as other
places where the Indian and
brother coyote roamed free
as the winds that blow.
