Open The Door. 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.

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

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

he doesn't the way I do -with
my hands. Wage earners

which side their bread is but

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.

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.

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.

"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.

Right to Volt
j To the Editor: I have not
I read one comment about No.

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.

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.

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.

Space, the final horizon
towards which man is hurl

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

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

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.

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

you are shooting at a buck,
doe or man. It was none of

today for a final brief look at
the measures on the Oregon
ballot al Tuesday's election.
There are ten of them alto

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.

That leaves nine to he voted

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

official voters' pamphlet is

possible make it certain that
our machines can hit Ihe plan

on to the stars.

There are studies under way

overcoming weightlessness by
applying spin to a space cap

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.
