Nikila To the Editor: Thank you for publishing my letter and may I presume upon you to print another on the same subject? first, may I thank the many who look time to write nr phone approval. May I also express surprise and regret that I have read of nor heard on T.V. or radio a single can didate commit himself on the issue of the time controversy, not even the candidates for Governor. Does this mean that those seeking office think that the disgraceful handling of this issue by the recent Legislature and the Governor is of so little importance? Do they ask the people to support them when they do not sup port the people when such a vital principle is at stake? Is there not one of them who realize this is a threat to the popular ballot? And in par ticular, Mr. Thornton as pres ent Attorney General and can didate for Governor, where does he stand? If we vote NO on measure fi (Daylight Saving Time) we will have the same confusion again, and if we vote YES we will admit that we do not know what we want. Either way we will, in effect, con done the action of the last Legislature and the Governor in overriding the popular vole and thereby imply that we relinquish our right, to Gov ernment by consent of the Governed. Shades of Khrushchev! Did he know the apparent tenden cy of the Oregon politicians and the apathy of the voters to allow it when he said "I'll bury you"? What has become of Ameri canism and the red blooded American? Has he lost his voice? Does he think there is no use for him to vote? And if so, can you blame him? But, if he neglects to vote or de mands his vote be honored he is playing directly into the hands of those who would like to manipulate our policies. If such is the trend, Nikita, open the door, we'll soon be with you. C. R. Burrill 119 Crater Lake ave. Mcdford Votes Lost To the Editor: As a public service to all the voters of Jackson county. Ex - Sheriff Mr. Walsh desereted his du ties as a sheriff and resigned his position. At this time he comes before you (Jackson county voters) to consider his choice for the sheriff on Nov. 6 I question a backward step in the office of sheriff it Mr. Stephens is elected, as from what I read, and experienced from his past police work. Mr. Stephens' outlook is the concern for all the people of this county, employees alike. Throughout our past 12 years, our sheriff's office has been controlled by the finan cial strings of a few, by peo ple whose privilege of ruling was inherited rather than earned, and by people as our rx-sheriff. who put together statements concerning some of his pet do-nothing em ployees, rather than having a concern for the people in gen eral. I say Ex-Sheriff Mr. Walsh had a clean housekeeping croup in the sheriff's office four years ago. but he failed to sweep his surroundings and remain loyal to the peo ple of Jackson county. 1 am sure Mr. Walsh's rec ommendation for sheriff in the coming Nov. 6 election has lost the candidate voles from his own part.'. As for myself and other Republicans I have talked with, we will vote for Mr. Stephens and support his adjustment? when elected to the otfice of Jack son county sheriff Stanley Lester Route 2, Box 424 Medford Why Vote for Morse? To the Editor: In answer lo the question posed by Edith Kraley's interrogaters all over the U.S.. "why do Oregonians continue to elect Wayne Morse?" HI T. 1 1-4-H2I I think the chief reason is that most people like what Mnrse ha? done for Oregon. What is Edith thinking of? Doesn't she know that Hal loween is past? Then why does she dish out this muddy mess of witch's brew, unless she figures it too late for any effective defense of the Sen ator1 I don't know how Ihis lady makes her living, but I'm sure he doesn't the way I do -with my hands. Wage earners rvrrywhrre should know on which side their bread is but tered. However. Edith has diluted her tirade with a few facts. K( must admit. Wayne has. st times, been quite roujh on the coupon clippers. And if that was the way I made my living, I'd wince loo. But peo ple who work with their hands (this has a distinct ad vantage; it leaves the head free to think) are going to continue to support Wayne Morse. I am sure that if there were more men in Ihe Con gress like Wayne Morse I would not need to mortgage my home in order to give my children a college education. George Beltz 1 119 Niantic si. Medford. No Kin To the Editor: In my cam paign I have discovered that many voters think that I am a member of an old-time fam ily by the same name. Many remember Frank Redden and think he was my father. In all fairness I must say that my family are Oregonians by choice and we are not re lated to the former residents of this area. Jim Redden 518 Barnes ave. Medford. Will History Repeat? To the Editor: I feel this is is well worth publishing. Mrs. Carl Neuber Williams, Ore. One of the most widely read books of all limes is "The Decline and B'all of the Ro man Empire," written by Ed ward Gibbon in 1877. It sets forth five basic reasons why that great civilization wither ed and died. These were: The undermining of the dig nity and sanctity of the home which is the basis for human society. Higher and higher taxes: the spending of public money for free board and circus for the populace. The mad craze for pleasure, sports becoming every year more exciting, more brutal, more immoral. The building of great arma aments when the real enemy was within, the decay of in dividual responsibility. The decay of religion, faith fading into mere form, losing touch with life, losing power to guide the people. The oft heard warning that history repeats itself has an ominous meaning in the light of the above. It depends on you. The average age of the world's civilization has been 200 years. These nations pass ed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith. From spiritual faith to great courage. From courage lo liberty. From liberty lo abundance. From abundance lo selfish ness. From selfishness to com placency. From complacencv to apa thy. From apathy to dependence. From dependence back to bondage. In 14 years the United States will be 200 years old, this cycle is not inevitable. It depends on you. (From the P.G. & E "Progress") I A Solution To the Editor: To the voters of the State of Oregon. Here is a solution for the Daylighl Saving Time that should make everybody happy. , Holmes and Hatfield will realize that we are nol as dumb as they showed by their action toward us. I see no reason why if one person jumps in the river why the rest of us have lo. I say if the business places, the mills and industries and their employees want to go to work an hour earlier or even at midnight, we do not care (that is fine) hut let the clock and standard time of the day alone. Why should everybody he ruled by such crazy notion? Meier and Frank mighl even have the doors open at 9 o'clock instead of us waiting in the cold. C. A. Vogcl Route 4. Box 151 Sherwood. Ore. Right to Volt j To the Editor: I have not I read one comment about No. ! 1 on our ballot. Some changes j in ihe mililary code are in 'order, with reference to wo ! men serving in state dcfenes and better provision? made in ' regard to conscientious object ; or? i The amendment slate? thai 'if passed one basic privilege. I the right to vote for their of j fleers, will be taken away. The military code of our Oregon Constitution, I believe, i now provides that all troop j commanders be elected by i their subordinate?, j In order to qualify, the mili tary training and education of these officers must be luch that they are recognized by the federal government. Fifty officers are elected by their men. Through the course of promotions and transferred personnel this may affect ap proximately 1,000 officers. To empower one man or woman with such appoint ments, and purely political at that, is too great a concentra tion of power in such a vital area as our National Guard. A man must be fully qual ified to fill these positions. If the men electing commanders wish to reject one of the nom inations, according to the mili tary code and constitution, their wishes should be ac cepted by the state. They should not be subjected to pressure, as has been done in the pas;. - The former Adjutant Gen eral was appointed for life by Ex-Gov. Holmes. The Withye combe troubles and deficien cies in our Medford Armory stem directly from that ap pointment and political pres sure. Our right to vole is a priceless possession, let's not vote to take away the right of these men to vole. Catherine G. Lynch 139 Kenwood ave. Medford. Cuba and the Election To the Editor: When Ike cut Cuba's sugar quota off he was sure Cuba would come crawling back to big brother U.S.A., or that they would be a push-over for Ihe guerrilla army that was In training in the Florida Keys. Had Nixon been elected President he would have given Ike's guerilla army air and naval support, which might have brought Russia into a war with us. Ike was determined that Cuba would have no right of self determination. He would deny her the right to nation alize her industries and would have handed her back to the same bunch minus Batista who together were the cause of Castro's revolution. The best families of Cuba, as Ike called them, would have been riding high again as they in turn would have handed the sugar and oil barons' their former holdings, and they would be back in business at the same old stand and the Cubans would be living in squalor the same as they have since Ihe coming of the Spaniards. Cuba has too few natural resources to divide them with any foreign country if Ihe Cuban people are going to have a decent standard of living. Every vote cast for Carl Fisher or Sig Unander is a vote to keep the underprivi leged of both Cuba and 'the U.S'.A. under the iron heel. And every vote cast for Fish er, Unander and Hatfield will be a vole lo delay the multiple development of our water re sources. And every vote for Hatfield will be a vote to give the operating engineers an other raise in wages next year. We slill get the same amount of work lhat we did each day, but we pay four thousand dollars a day more for it. Why not send the same bunch of Democrats back to Washington where they have done an excellent job, and not only brought back the bacon but most of the hog. Yes, we know that Fisher knows just what Oregon needs. Unander also knows, and so did Dr. Durno. but he didn't help very much. John R. Schumpf Roule 1, Box 312 Central Point, Ore. Locomotive Housed To the Editor: A short while hack the future of the Forty Et Eight locomotive looked very dark. The locomotive has been housed in its own build ing on the rear or Mack's Ga rage property. The property was sold and we had no place to move the building or store the locomotive. A letter lo the editor which was promptly published brought quick results from many quarters. II seemed there were many barns, etc., which were empty and avail able. However, a very busy man by the name of Troy Dean who owns the Medford Mov ing Company came to Mack and offered his service? and equipment lo move the build ing. Tex Nash offered room on Ihe rear of hi? property on Crater Lake avenue. These of fers were accepted and Troy Dean showed up with his crew and a lot of equipment and moved the building in short order. All Ihis time, men and equipment was donated as a public service lo Ihis com munity The Forty Et Eight along with thousands of citizens of Ihe community wish to thank Troy and his crew and Tex Nash for coming to our re?cue. Thanks a million. M. E. Fisher 718 Bennetl si. Medford. Teaching Peace To the Editor: With your kind permission, I would like By the AMERICAN MEDI CAL ASSN. Written for United Press International Space, the final horizon towards which man is hurl ing himjelf, is a weird, hos tile paradox. It is next lo nothingness, yet filled with the interplay of immense happenings that have moulded the earth and sun and stars. It is colder than any place on earth, yet it conveys tremendous amounts of heat to earth, h is criss crossed with static-like radio waves, yet will not carry or dinary sound and is more sil ent than any terrestrial tomb. Despite manned orbital flights and instrumented deep space probes, space remains an unfathomed vastness, rid dled with radiation, shot through with meteors, warp ed by magnetic and gravita tional forces. It is an erormitv where the truisr.-s of earth are no longer necessarily true. Man can get away from the earth only by taking some of the earth with him - air, food, water, clothing - a whole en vironment wrapped in a to enter a letter in your col umn to the people. I think it is very interesting to get the people's views. This concerns peace in the world, which is the most important subject I know of. Here are Iwo very impor tant subjects I think should be taught in the homes and at schools. It is lo teach children to respect people's rights and properly, and lo nol trespass, as that is what has led to war. As one can readily see, these war mongers don't know what that meaning is, and have never been taught that as a child. It should be taught them when they are very young, and all through their formative years, and don't think they don't understand. I have had first hand exper ience with them. When I lirst moved to i place, there were 13 youn children in the neighborhooo. and they were running wild over everyone's yard. I got several of the older ones to gether, and talked to them, and explained what I have said here, and they thanked me for telling them, and said they had never been told that before, and I never had any trouble after that, and we all got along fine. I like children and teen agers, and in my book I think they are OK. I'm a pretty old gal, but I'm not so old ! don't remember I was one too. and they haven't changed much in themselves, it's just the times. I don't think they have let hy pocrisy and class distinction, take over, like their adults have. And after all, we are all God's children, and we should never let a day go by without thanking him for all our many blessings. I thank you for listening. Mrs. F. Andrus 391 S. Mountain ave. Ashland, Ore. Mighty Hunter To the Editor: You want me lo go hunting with you when doe season opens? No thank you, no does for me. In my opinion, a good hunter lakes horns or nothing. You didn't get a buck? So you are en titled to a doe? My friend, you left does all over the area you were hunting. If we had a law letting the hunter bring out the doe he kills in buck season, then there would be more deer to hunt and less does lying rotting in t lie woods. You are a good hunler? Ah; but friend you act like a man let out of a cage when hunling season opens. How, you a.-k? Well I'll lell you, remember the day your wife yelled. ' Horns, it s got horns." and you shot, you. the trusted hunler. You didn't see horns but you shol anyway, and a doe lies rotting away, and friend the same day when you threw your gun lo your shoul der and fired five times, that time you saw color, the color a buck should be, you said you missed whatever it was. Of course there's more, the day you heard Ihe noise. Sounded like a hig buck. You said il wasn't, just a little doe trying to lead a certain hunter awav from her master Oh that's a deer with horns, hut you don't care if they have horns or nol. Is that all? No, there's one more, friend, the brush shot, your famous brush shot where you see a movement in Ihe brush and fire, not knowing if you are shooting at a buck, doe or man. It was none of these, remember? Thai f.i mous brush shot you like to brag about around a rampfire got you a mangy, half starved coyote. You were so mad von threw your gun on the ground and kicked il.

Maybe we can spare time today for a final brief look at the measures on the Oregon ballot al Tuesday's election. There are ten of them alto gether - - although on your printed ballot there may be a No. 8, relating to restriction of commercial fishing on the Columbia river. This was ruled off the ballot by the state supreme court because of a faulty petition title, he ruling came after the ballots were printed. No votes on No. 8 will be counted. That leaves nine to he voted on. F THE nine valid measures, six are what mighl be de scribed as "housekeeping" leigslation. designed to im prove existing laws. These "housekeeping"' measures are Numbers I. 2, 3, 4. 5. and 7. If you vote YES on all of them, you won't be far wrong. You know better than anv- body else how you will vole on Daylight Saving -which is Measure No. h, which pro poses to put Oregon on uni form Daylight time. No argu ments are needed on that one. It's a matter of personal pre- fere nee. On Measure No. 10. which proposes repeal of Ihe existing school district law. it seems wiser to vote NO. at least un til we have had more experi ence with the existing law. MMIAT brings us to Measure No. 9 whose title in the official voters' pamphlet is Legislative A p p o rlionmcnt Constitutional Amendment. If you live in Southern Oregon or Eastern Oregon, you should vole YES on this Measure No. 9. Why? The answer is simple.

"The one thing about space we can be certain of is that man will journey into it." i said Dr. Paul R. Leberman of Philadelphia, chairman of the American Medical association section on military medicine. "He will journey out from earth just as far as his physi cal and mental condition will allow him. "We know," he said, "that we can put a machine on the moon. And the same classic laws of physics that made this possible make it certain that our machines can hit Ihe plan ets and perhaps someday pass on to the stars. "What we don't know for certain yet is whether we can put a man in the machines and get him to these places alive and in good health. You might say that the classic laws of medicine aren't that clear vet." I The space duet of Russia's two cosmonauts has dispelled some of the mysteries sur rounding man's ability to ex ist in weightlessness. But many questions still need an swering and weightlessness remains the most complex of the medical unknowns con cerning space travel. "The Russian flights," said Dr. Leberman, "have shown that man can sustain weight lessness physically and men tally for a round trip lo the moon. But what we don't know yel is whether there Is a price for such a trip in terms of health. We might not , have this answer unln we get a whole laboratory orbiting in space, rather than just a capsule." The fact is that gravity has hpen s csscnlia, l0 immRn de. ; velopment as air, food and water. Without It the human form never would have evolv ed Man's whole being is attun ed to gravity. Eliminate grav ity for an extended period and changes are bound lo take place. It remains lo be seen how well man can adjust to these changes. Evidence An Air Force physician, Capt. Duane E. Graveline, says he has found evidence that man may become "de conditioned" lo gravity. After seven days floating in water (the closest man can approach long-term weightlessness on earth) Capl. Graveline said he experienced general weakness i "u" hucri.., along with changes in his ! blood chemistry. Other "floating" experi ments revealed lhat weight tosness, while pleasant at first, can become extremely irritat ing, leading to confusion and menial stress lhat in turn could lead to a fatal mistake in space. These experiments also indi cated thai without Ihe stimu lus of gravity the circulatory system appears to lose some of ils adaptability. This means that despite pressure suits and I special couches the breaking effect on re-entry from a trip lo the moon could overtax the blood supple system.

The hones become soft, weakened. Perhaps they could not huld up during re-entry. This dcmineralizalion pro cess can also have other con sequences. Since Ihe bones no longer absorb the calcium it is sent lo the kidneys, for elimination. But if the kidneys get loo much calcium, the min eral is sometimes deposited there forming kidney stones. Effects exactly like these have been seen in long-term bedrid den patients when the skele ton is relieved of most of lis work. Under Way There are studies under way however, presumably in Rus sia as well as here, aimed at overcoming weightlessness by applying spin to a space cap sule. Centrifugal force would then provide an artificial gravity. Some recent expert-' ments have shown that this might not be too practical -that an astronaut might not be able to orient himself while h i s capsule spins through snace like a thrown football. Dr. James G. uaume ot ueo- vcr. chief of the Life Support Systems at the Martin com pany, feels that many of the possible dangers ot weigm- lessness may be overcome by performing enough exercises in orbit to compensate for Ihe work load imposed on the hu man body by gravity. A working astronaut, how ever, makes far greater de mands on the extremely limit ed environment ot his capsule than Ihe spaceman who quiet ly goes along for the ride. To perform exercises an astro naut would need a larger oxy gen supply, a more elaborate carbon dioxide absorbent sys tem, a highly efficient dehum idifying device, additional food, etc. more problems on top of problems. Major Problem Another major weight prob lem remaining to be solved is the amount of shielding re quired to make outer space livable for man.. Deep in space, farther than all orbital flights to dale, there is a thick veil of radiation know as the Van Allen Belt. Human tis sues orbited through the Van Allen Belt in a high-flying satellite have been damaged by the radiation. All this is only part of the problems faced by space medi cine. For aside from the physi cal stresses there are also men tal stresses. These in the long run may put more of a bind on space travel than anything else. No man has yet experienced Iwo rides into space, so Ihere is slill no indication of how much menial stamina is re quired lo cope with the noise, vibrations and anxieties of blasting into space and re turning. Nor is there any way of determining how the long term combination of weight lessness, tension, isolalion and radiation exposure will affect the human brain and nervous system. A three-man space team might leave for a six month round trip lo Mars the best of friends but return with homicide in their hearts. :') as near as your TELEPHONE.
