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

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!

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.

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

were among Richard M. Nix
on's parting words to news
men at what he termed "my
last press conference." 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. Edmund
Brown was handed a heavy
Democratic majority in both
houses of California's l!)(i3
legislature. The Democrats
had a two-thirds majority in
the Senate, 27-13, but were
two short in the Assembly,
52-28.
Propositions: Voters follow
ed the suggestions of both gu
bernatorial candidates and
backed Proposition 1-A, a
S270 million bond issue for
higher education. They also
took their advice and rejected
Proposition 24, the broad anti-
car left the Old Stage rd hit
two roadside trees, and was
demolished, state police said.
David llixson, route 1, box
293, Central Point, was re
ported in fair condition at
Rogue Valley hospital Satur
day while being treated for
hip injuries, abrasions and
contusions.
State police said llixson
was driving south on the Old
Stage rd. near Taylor id., the
car left the highway on a
slight right curve spun
around, and hit two oak trees.
1 he victim was pinned in the
car until a wrecker could
move it. 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. Officers noted that
the accident created a large
traffic jam at the time.
A one-vehicle no-injury ac
cident occurred about 2:45
a.m. Saturday three miles
east of Ashland on the Green
Springs highway, state 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. An
derson defeat San Francisco
mayor George Christopher;
Atty. Gen. Stanley Mosk beat
Tom Coakley; Sec. of Stale
Frank M. Jordan beat Don
Rose; Controller Alan Cran
ston defeated Bruce Reagan,
and Treasurer Bert A. Betls
won over John A. Busterud.
All victors were Democrats
except Jordan, who has held
his post for 20 years.
Superintendent: Dr. ' Max
Rafferty, California's scathing
ment. Proposition 4, the farm
land assessment measure, and
Proposition 23, to expand the
state senate, also were de
feated. Miller: A dead man was re
elected In the first congres
sional district. The late Demo
cratic Rep. Clem Miller, kill
ed in a plane crash during the
campaign, polled more voles
than Republican Don Clausen.
A special election will be held"
in January to fill the scat.
Miller's name remained on
the ballot because he died
aflcr the deadline to have it
removed.

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."
A top official at Chrys
ler confesses, "When we
have a tough new problem
at the plant and our ex
perts can't figure an easy
way to solve it, we put our
laziest man on the job.
He'll find the easy way in
48 hours flat. Then we
adopt his method."
John Hutchons reports that a man intent upon reading up on
locust (there's a new plague of them due, we're tolcil was an
noyed by the cost of books covering the aujerl, and declared
forcefully, "What this country needs is a good five-cent cicada."
.
Speaker: Termit me to thank you, sir, for staying to listen
to me when everybody else walked out.
Listener: Pon t thank me, son. I'm the next speaker.
