MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDf'OHD, OREGON SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 11. 1962 A 5 Poets' Corner Conducted by Arnold Eugene Jenny On Knowing and Doing If to do wore as easy as to know what to do, chapels had been churches and poor men's cottages princes' palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching. Portia, in The Merchant of Venice: Shakespeare (Suggested by Alice Applegate Peil, The Manor, Medford) On An Elizabethan Stonewar Jug (Circa 1580) Sometime between the then and now Your functions changed from use to ornament, And from the Tudor tables you were sent To fill a place in my old cabinet. I sometimes wonder when and where and how Such destinies are figured out, and why 1 hesitate to fill your shape so dry With amber ale or blood-red wine, and let Your chased and silvered lip pour cheer Once more for our atomic-laden fear. Llovd B. Halverson Medford A Mosaic Sometimes Life clutches hard And bruises. Again it slips into a day Gently, Etching It with beauty That lingers In the afterglow of memory. Life is full of surprises From eestacy To despair; But he who hears the overtones And feels the undercurrent Finds joy and sorrow, Peace and struggle, Pain and beauty Closely knit, And lives more richly By learning That lights and shadows Are not tricks of Fate But fragments Of a mosaic. (Submitted by Vivian B. Giles, The Manor, Medford) Our Johnny Light as a summer breeze he runs and turns; Whirlwinds are hardly faster, sun is brighter Maybe, yet nothing equals his quick smile. This loving boy, a joy, invaded Hearts of mother, father, aunt and uncle. Then sister came, our love enveloped her. Though family love enfoldered boy and babe The three-year-old wos stricken, hurt, bewildered. How best explain more love not less abounds? Our heart-strings sing, but can he hear? he must! Marjorie S. Wiseman Portland, Ore. A Small Request What can life give me? I dread to say For if I cite the list, I'd write my life away. But this I want: To do what everyone has done To live with zest from sun to sun; To eat strange food, and have a friend; And do some good before my end.

(UPI Telepholo) THE WEEK IN CALIFORNIA State's Election Results Overshadow Other Activities Residents Interested In Bus Transportation, Taxes The approximately 150 per sons who attended the hear ing Thursday night on the proposed joining of Medford and Phoenix school districts seemed mainly concerned with bus transportation and how the proposal would affect their taxes. Most of the questions and comments following the plan explanation centered on the school bus transportation be tween Phoenix - Talent and Medford areas and the pos sible financial status of the proposed new district. Medford School Board Member Keith Hockersmilh said the Medford school dis trict transportation policy is available in the Medford ad ministration office for all to see. Medford School Board Member Dr. David C. Boals, ,14 Glen Oak ct.. indicated it is not fair to expect the Med ford school district to provide information on transportation now before a study could lie made. It would even be neces sary to chance the plans for the new high school if the Phoenix district should join Medford, he said. Asked About Research Duane Venckamp, Phoenix, asked if any research had been done on the assets and liabilities of the two districts and how any expansion pro gram would affect taxes. Representatives of the Med ford school board said no. County School Superinten dent Alf Mrkvold explained the asets and liabilities of the two districts would be assumed by the new joint district Such debts of the Medford school district now would be assum ed by the people of Phoenix Talent district, a Medford board man answered. Richard Cottle. Phoenix lawyer, reminded the group that Medford could make expenditures binding on the entire district during the j interim period following ap ; proval of the reorganization and before election of a new j school board from the joint district. I Mrs. Ray Burnett, Phoenix ! area, pointed out through questions that only one Med ford school district board member comes from outside the old Medford school dis trict although it now includes such areas as Lone Pine and Jacksonville. The reorganization law does allow local advisory commit tees to a reorganized school district board. However, other new joint school districts had not wanted them, it was point ed out. Frank Van Dyke, lawyer for those seeking the reorganiza tion, said such local commit tees would only cause trouble. Influenza Cases Continue in County The number of influenza cases reported to the Jackson county health department last week continued at high level. Ashland reported 12 cases, Medford 10 and Jacksonville 3. Jacksonville reported one case of mumps and Central Point one case of infectious hepatitis. HONORED Robert (Bobby) J. Gee, son of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Gee, 2618 Syringo dr., Medford, a senior at Washington Slate university, was recently desig nated as a distinguished mili tary student in the Army ROTC program. Gee, a prelaw major, will be in line for a Regular Army commission when he graduat es because of this selection. He is a member of the Phi Delia Theta fraternity. By United Press International Gov. Edmund u. diuh last week virtually enaeo Richard M. Nixon s political career and left California Re publicans searching for a new leader. Nixon, the former United States vice president who lost the presidency in 1960 by less than 200,000 votes, was de feated in his bid for the Cali fornia governorship by nearly 300,000 ballots. The victory gave Brown his second four- year term in sacramemo. The final vote was Brown 2,983,873 and Nixon 2,686,133. The election left a number of puzzles with political im pact across the country. California Rep u b 1 i c a n s found themselves adrift with out a leader as Nixon abdi cated - not only as the top GOP figure in his home stale but as one of his party's na tional leaders. Political Puzzles Main political puzzles were: How was Brown the "Amiable bumbler" as his op ponents called him - able to run up such a high plurality? He had been rated as no more than an even-money bet. How were Democrats In an off-year election able to pick up eight more Congres sional seats? California's House of Representatives line up next January will stand at 24 Democrats and 14 Repub licans. The delegation was in creased by eight from 30 to 38 due to reapportionment. What was the principal reason for defeat of two Re publican congressmen who are members of the John Birch society? They are Representa tives John H. Rousselot, who lost to Democrat Ronald B. Cameron, and Edgar W. Hie stand, to Democrat Everett G. Burkhalter. Most Republicans agreed one big reason for the Demo cratic success was the Demo crats' ability to get out the vote. Around 80 per cent of the eligible voters cast bal lots. And Democrats outnum bered Republicans by almost 3-2. Brown said he did not think the Cuban crisis and Ken nedy's decision to throw a blockade around Cuba help ed his successful fight against Nixon in any way. But Nix on's press secretary, Herbert G. Klein, said the Cuban crisis came at just the wrung time in the campaign from Nixon's standpoint and that voters ral lied generally to Kennedy's Democratic party. Other election highlights: Nixon: "Just think how much you're going to miss . . . you won't have Nixon In kirk around any more . . ." Those Announcing the New Location of Dr. Anthony E.

The former vice president and de feated gubernatorial candidate strongly criticized the press during his concession re marks. "I'm proud of the fact that I defended my opponent's pa triotism. You gentlemen, did not report that," Nixon said. "For once, gentlemen, I would appreciate if you would write what I say . . ." At another point Nixon remarked "I think, that it is time that our great newspapers have at least the same objectivity, the same fullness of coverage that the television has." Senator: Thomas H. Kuchel won another six-year term in the U.S. Senate, defeating foe of "progressive educa tion," beat out Dr. Ralph Richardson in their hotly con tested battle for superintend ent of public instruction. Raf ferty, 45, takes over for Roy Simpson, who is retiring after 17 years in the post. Legislature: Gov.

He was taken to the hospital by the Medford Am bulance Service. A second accident occurred Friday, on Highway 99 at the Foots creek interchange between Gold Hill and Rogue River. A car, driven by Richard Clarence Schmidt, 17, of 250 Janney lane, stopped for a stalled car and was struck from behind by a car driven by Barry Lloyd Scruggs, 19, of 315 Summit St., slate police reported.

A pickup truck, driven by Milton Marion Marks, 47, of Orick, Calif., was entering a 30 miles per hour posted speed zone when his pickup missed a curve and turned over. State Sen. Richard Richards , subversive Francis amend- whom, he also beat for the post in 1956. Kuchel's final unofficial vote was 3,086.997 as against 2.393,813 for Rich ards. Kuchel has been in the senate since 1953. State Offices: All Incum bents were returned to office in Sacramento. The election saw Lt. Gov. Glenn M.

Miller's name remained on the ballot because he died aflcr the deadline to have it removed. Vantage, Wash.-IIIPD - Slate and local government officials today dedicated the new $7, 422,535 Vantage bridge on U.S. Highway 10 across the Columbia river. Assessor Back From Commiltee Meeting County Assessor Thad Hat- ten has returned from a meet ing of the legislative commit tee of the Oregon Assessor's association in Salem. A bill is now being drawn up proposing that the slate law specify qualifications for assessors, Ratten said. Another proposed bill per tains to unit ownership of real property. In .cases in which residents of an apart ment house have formed a corporation, the proposed law would allow such residents to take title specifically to the upper or lower story in which their apartment is located, plus interest in the land and other facilities. Present law allows such people to take title only to land and buildings. Oilier bills discussed were merely "housekeeping" meas ures which would make the assessors job a little easier, Ilalten explained. i PUBLICIST WHO lived high on the hog was frowning over a huge dinner check placed before him by the maitre d' of a famous restaurant. His girl friend kidded him aooui nis worried look. "Don't misunderstand" . v " he assured her. "It's not the size of the check. I'm just trying to figure which client to charge it to."

He'll find the easy way in 48 hours flat. Then we adopt his method."
