Cross-Country Visit
The hospitality of New Englanders and mid
westerns with whom local school board members
and educators came in contact on a two-week
trip recently can best be described as an "open
door" policy.
Busy people took time out of crowded sched
ules to talk with members of the Southern Ore
gon group; they rearranged their schedules at
the schools to fit the group s needs and desires,
as a group or for individual members; and they
even took precious time to entertain the Uregon
ians at dinners.
The traditional reserve of the New Englander
certainly wasn't present, and the mid-western
inendliness was certainly that in the Chicago
and Mcrherson, Kans., areas.
AAHhKkvhK the party went, the group was
expected, someone was waiting to meet
them, and the reception was marvelous, despite
the fact the group of Oregonians had expanded
from a visitation party to what Dr. Leonard B.
Mayfield at one time referred to as an "invasion
party." (Twenty-three people were in the east
visiting schools.)
The Salina, Kans., Elks club opened its doors
when the group returned from McPherson. There,
on a Saturday morning, school officials were
waiting, they conducted guided tours of the par
tially completed building of unusual construction,
and took time out to review the history and pro
gram of the new school.
In Salina, the group did, somewhat democrat
ically, vote against eating in an establishment
recommended by a local citizen. I he Llks club
turned out to be a pleasant experience of dining
and relaxation.
1MEDILL BAIR, superintendent of Lexington,
Mass., schools, had the party out to his
house the evening of arrival for one of his "spe
cialty dinners." We didn't attend because of a
previous family dinner engagement, but we un
derstand it was a most entertaining evening.
In Norwalk, prior to a dinner at the Silver
mine Tavern, hois d'oeuvres were served at the
home of Dr. Harry Becker, where Oregonians
mingled with school board members and admin
istrators from Norwalk.
It was here we had a charming chat with Mrs.
Justin Glickson, wife of a school board member.
We reminisced about the Smith college campus,
discussed education, past, present and future,
and how a New Englander gets transplanted in
Oregon.
TTHE Silvcrmine Tavern is a large, rambling
colonial inn. It has several nooks, crannies
and gift shops, and overlooks a mill pond. Some
of its floors are wood, some are brick; some of
its nooks and crannies are open-partitioned type
rooms, giving the impression that separate din
ing areas have been added as needed.
It is the kind of a place where historically
minded people could mult into the annals of the
past and relive the days of the early New Eng
lander. It was in one of these crannies, with the
warmth of a good blaze in the fireplace, that edu
cators enjoyed a delicious smorgasbord dinner.

even the shrewd Adenauer
anticipated the latest storm

come.
This was the "Der Spiegel

wave of national emotional
ism.
Der Spiegel (The Mirror) is
a national news magazine
whose hard - hitting columns
frequently have irked both
the chancellor and his con
troversial defense minister,
Franz-Josef Strauss.
The attitude of "let the
chips fall where they may"
has at various times led the
magazine to be critical of both
East and West. Lawsuits
against the magazine had been
brought by both Adenauer and
Strauss, unsuccessfully.
Before his own part in the
midnight arrests of Der
Spiegel's editors became
known, Strauss made no at
tempt to hide his pleasure that
charges of suspicion of trea
son against them appeared
likely finally to bring the pub
lication to heel.
Then came the reaction.
German readers made no at
tempt to prejudge the case of
treason. But they objected
strenuously to the midnight
knock-on-the-door manner in
which the arrests were car
ried out.
Hamburg newspapers with
no special reason to love Der
Spiegel offered the magazine
use of their printing presses
and office space.
Adenauer's television expla
nation that the arrests were
made on "urgent suspicion of
a crime" failed to satisfy ei
ther readers or editors.
A free press is comparative
ly new to Germany. Men pri
marily responsible for it were
the American occupation com
manders who took over right
after the war.. Among them
was Gen. Lucius Clay who re
calls that he had to urge Ger
man reporters to ask ques
tions. Now that the Germans hava
it, their latest reaction shows
they won't give it up easily.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
As this is written, today ap
pears to be one of those happy
days when there isn't any BIG
news. At this moinent-10:27
a.m.-there hasn't been even a
major plane crash anywhere
in the world. So far, the
Bearded One in Cuba hasn't
blown his top.
It is indeed a quiet day.
Would that there might be
more of them. Big news tends
to be BAD news.
TIE WAS a poor caricature
of a Kipling poem - a
Tommy Atkins who was al

But in the afterlight of
that Cuban crisis it has be

that (he ultimate factor in

Intact was not "negotiation,"
however able or determined.
It was the iron fact that the
military power of the " nited
States was too great, too skill
ed and too devoted for Soviet
challenge.
In that brief and terrible
episode, we have found that
we owe to our armed forces -including
a patient Pentagon

A ND it was here too, that in the midst of this
fine Connecticut prepared dinner, a pleasant
little touch of the deep south, Mrs. Sadye Hahn
of Winnfield, La., talked about southern fried
chicken, hominy grits, other delicacies found
chiefly in the southern states, and specialty dishes
of the many New Orleans eating establishments.
Mrs. Hahn spent most of the month visiting
east coast schools to obtain ideas for use in Vinn

it toured schools and discussed educational pro

In the Chicago area, the party picked up a
"temporary leader" en route to Kvanston, a leader
of fine stature, who was proudly cooperative in
assisting the party to its destination.
In Chicago Heights, a larger-than-expectcd
number arrived to visit Kloom Township High
school. Undaunted by numbers, the superintend
ent, who approached the party just as the group's
regular "leader" was ready to send up smoke
signals, called the school for another car.
TNI IS was typical of the hospitality encountered
by the local group. It was encouraging, and
it brought out the fact that people, after all, are
interested in other people, their ideas, their be
liefs and their problems.
Educators in Massachusettes, Connecticut,
Illinois and Kansas went out of their way to pro
vide information for the visitors; they gave di
rections, provided transportation, and wanted
to share what they knew, ami learn what they
could.
They were impressed with the Oregon delega-

From Sacramento comes
word that California has
passed New York to become
the most populous state in the
nation. The figures, prepared
by the population studies sec
lion of the California depart
ment oi finance, show that
California has a population of
17,336,423, while New York
is nearly 7,000 lower with
17.320,543.
How did they get the fig
ures? Governor Brown says
tne claim is supported by slide
rules, computers and DETER
MINED STATISTICIANS.
Anyway, New York hasn't
yet disputed them.
yilAT will be the next big
' race?
Here's a guess:
It will be to determine
which state first reaches the
point of standing room only.
IORE about population:
The Bureau of the Cen
sus reports that a check of
population growth from April
1, 111(10, to July 1. I!)(i2. shows
that top honors for the fastest

Arizona and WYOMING, in
the order named. Nevada, dur
ing this period, gained 17.3
per cent, Arizona 15.9 per cent
and Wyoming 10.7 per cent.
What about Oregon?
Well, the Census Bureau
says that in the period from

ALL IN ONE CAVE
In several previous col
umns, I have called for
change in our thinking to ac
company the
profound
changes in our
physical
world of the
last decade.
We desperate
ly require, I
ed, a new ap-
Harris basic ques
tions of peace and national
survival.
What I was trying to ex
press has been so admirably
and succinctly said by a dis
tinguished scientist that I
think his words (lost in the
welter of news) deserve the
widest recirculation and the
deepest study.
Speaking at the first nation,
al conference of the Congress
of scientists on Survival, Dr.
Albert Szent - Gyorgyi, the
great biochemist who won the
Nobel Prize for medicine in
1937, told his learned audi
ence: ...
"The existence of man
kind is already dependent
on correct functioning of
countless hands and but
tons, while both humans
and machines are known to
err which makes our
own bombs into a threat to
our existence equal lo the
bombs of our adversaries.
Never has politics gambled
so irresponsibly before with
the very existence of man
kind . . .
"Science tells us lhat if
we have such a problem, we
must approach it as such,
collect the data, then try lo
fit them together and find
the best solution, with a
neutral mind, a cool head,
unbiased by short-range in
terest or sentiments like
fear and hatred.
"If politicians could ap
proach the great interna
tional problems with this
spirit." he continued, "in
stead of dealing from a nar
row nationalistic angle,
with one eye on propagan
da, trying to gel tit for tat
or lor nothing, wt might
get on the good road . . .
"If we still have the cave
man's mentality and cannot
change it," he concluded,
"then perhaps wt could
avoid catastrophe if we
could only understand one
thing, and this is that
science has abolished dis
lance, and wt art all living
in one cave now, which is
our little shrunken globe on
which thert is place for one
family only, the family of
man: and wt may at least
gain time by simply fixing
up a note: Playing with
atomic bombs in this cava
is strictly forbidden."
It is a most curious and per
tent ions paradox, as Dr. Gy
orgyi observes, that the course
of science seems to be a cir
cular one. unless we can con
trol it that we may indeed
return to the caves from which
we came Desoite the immense
population of the world, man
kind is now- a small tnhe. for
we h.ive the power to kill our
selves off with a speed and
ferocity hardly imaginable in
the past.

Civilization's Decay
To the Editor: If men ma-
liciously take another's horses
they re horsethieves, society
disgraced, criminals often
hung by the neck until dead.
If men burn their own or
another's barn they're arson
ists, punishable by law.
If men acquire millions of
acres of public forest lands by
bribing U. S. Congressional
lawmakers, U. S. Land Office
appointees, courts, they're
shrewd businessmen, citizen
leaders by statute of limita
tions, immune from prosecu
tion. If they decide not to pay
timber taxes, decide all by
themselves that "it won't be
worth anything 20 years
hence," decide to cut a few
best logs from a few best
trees, burn all else as slashing
that's legal.
That's what they did: Mil
lions of "God's Temples," mil
lions of birds, animals, fish
and other life perished;
streams and lakes dried up:
floods, droughts, deserts, fam
ines, followed. Timber tycoons
squeezed, are squeezing small
er operators out. More than
200 reported closed the past
few months. At Bradford,
Ore., one of several operations
by one company, joined in
September the thousands of
lumber ghost towns from the
Great Lake stales' shambled
forests and scorched earth to
the Pacific.
The tycoons own and con
trol the largest lumber oper
ations in both U. S. and Can-
monicas. We'd usually end by
taking turns reading the Trib
une or watching T.V.
The last time I was able to
be with the Senior Activity
Center Orchestra, we played
"There's a Long, Long Trail a
Winding." Well, Friends, I am
finding it out.
The nurses are lovely here,
the food bountiful, my room
males about as Irish as I - so,
"God's in His Heaven. All's
right with the world."
I've never been much for
going visiting, but we were
good back fence speakers.
Now I find that all this time
we had the best neighbors in
the whole wide world.
I want to thank them and
all who sent these hundreds
of cards, letters, plants and
other tokens of friendship and
good will. I love you sincere
ly. I can't cry for John. He has
been ill for three years, but
too gritty to give up. He had
a sincere faith in God, and is
now having a well earned
rest after 40 years of painting
in and around Medford.
I haven't decided yet what
I shall do. I've had several
offers of homes, but I think
I'd rather carry on among my
flowers if I get so I can walk.
I've been using Dr. Frank
Roberts' book of poems for an
overhead table, and now I am
going to finish reading it be
fore I hear "Lights out."
I shall read 'em all over
again tomorrow for they hold
such beautiful thoughts of
just everything in life worthwhile.
