8 B SUNDAY. DECEMBER 18. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Domincans Will Go to Polls Thursday in Presidential Election By MATTHEW T. KENNY United Presi International Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic - IUPH - A whole gen eration of Dominicans born and reared under the long Trujillo dictatorship get their chance at democracy Dec. 20 when they vote in the first free presidential election held here since 1924. But the shadow of the bloody past, and the 18 months of sporadic violence since Generalissimo Rafael Trujillo was assassinated in May, 1961, still hangs over the nation and could imperil the balloting or its outcome. Seven candidates are en tered in the presidential race and candidates from 28 dif ferent political patties are competing for congressional and municipal scuts. The presidential contest is considered by political ex perts to be narrowed down to two men Viriato Fiallo, 66-year-old physician and candi date of the National Civic Union Party (UCN), and Juan Bosch, leader of the Domin ican Revolutionary party (PRD). Both have spent most of their lives spearheading op position to the Trujillo dic tatorship. Are Political Oppoiilei However, they are political opposilcs. Fiallo represents the conservative moderates; Bosch is considered to be left of center. Both are anti-communists. Since last January this Caribbean nation has been governed by a seven-man council of state headed by President Rafael Bonclly. His caretaker government will hand over power next Febru ary to the winner of this his toric election if it is held as scheduled. The Bonelly government is on guard agains any attempt- ea eieuiiuii uisuiuL'is uy piu eommunists and leftist ex tremist groups whose only hope to gain controlling influ ence now is to disrupt the bal loting or even prevent it from getting started. Concerned Over Statements In recent weeks Bonelly and his fellow council mem bers have been concerned over statements by some mili tary leaders who indicated they might act on their own initiative to squelch any at tempts at disturbances. Fear of a military takeover still lingers in this land which was ruled by the Trujillo military, sometimes through civilian "front men," ever since 1930 when Trujillo set up what became one of the longest dictatorships in Latin American history. The United Slates, which Acted dramatically only a year ago to slop an attempted comeback by the remainder of the Trujillo clan, will be watching the elections anx iously.

(UPI) have urged Dominicans not to vote and called the elections a "fraud" to pave the way for a Trujillo - type dictatorship. They have urged the Domin ican navy and armed forces to revolt. The other five candidates in the presidential race in order of probable vote-getting power arc: Juan ,Isidro Jimenez Grullo, of the Social Democrats alliance; Horacio Ornes of the Revolutionary Vanguard; Virgilo Maynardy of the National Democratic party; Alfonso Moreno of the Social Christian party, and Raul Carbuccia of the Nation alist party. Election campaign violence has resulted in at least one person killed and many others hurt and wounded, according to the police. 1 leftist troublemakers should succeed in setting off turmoil on election day the Funds Possible for Damage to Cropland Farmers whose land sus tained flood damage to crop land, stream banks, irrigation and drainage systems, or other crop damage should contact the county agricul tural stabilization and conser vation service office in the Jackson county courthouse or the work unit conservation ists either in the Rogue or Jackson soil conservation districts, according to Albert Straus, chairman of the Jack son county USDA disaster committee. If enough such damage re sulted from the early Decem ber siorm, agricultural con servation program funds may be allocated, Straus said. Proof of damage must be recorded before a request may be submitted, according to Straus. It is anticipated that farmers along smaller streams in the county suffered more damage than those along the main channel of the Rogue river.

Pear Bureau Notes Winter Promotion Hatfield Condemns Public Credit Use Salem (UPI) Providing pub lic credit for capital invest ments of private business was condemned Thursday by Gov. Mark Hatfield. Hatfield told members of the advisory committee to the Stale Department of Planning and Development "I am glad the practice is not being en gaged in Oregon and there have been no suggestions we should do it." He cited as an example a firm which has an Oregon plant that is planning a new factory In Kentucky where a town of 750 would bond itself for $75 million to build facili ties for lease to the company. The company would pay no property taxes. 11 was believed the gover nor referred to Harvey Alu minum company, although he did not identify the firm by name. Hatfield declared he would fight such a "perversion of public credit" in Oregon, and said such financing "strikes at the very foundation of pri vate enterprise." Council could be forced to de clare a state of siege or mar tial law and to cane', the elec tions. To counter such a de velopment the government has taken a tough attitude to ward all disorder. Authorities recently arrested Maximo Lopez Molina, Castro-trained extremist. Aimed at Extremists Another action taken by the council was to bar anyone considered a "menace" t law and order from entering the country. The move was aimed at extremists of both left and right. The most notable per sonality barred from return ing was former president Joa quin Balaguer, who hi d hoped to return from exile and run for election. He previously came into power as a Trujillo protege. After Trujillo's death and following the flight from the country of the dictator's son, General Rafael (Ramfis) Tru jillo, Jr., Balaguer sought to govern alone. A little over a year ago an opposition strike was launch ed to force Balaguer to resign. Ironically, only - few days earlier, Balaguer had stood firm against attempts by two of the Generalissimo's bro thers Hector and Arismendi to return from abroad and lake up where the dead dic tator had left off. Scares Them Off The United States, in a show of naval power off the Dominican coast scared them and their followers off. Then the anti-Trujillo po litical opposition spearhead ed by the UCN demanded that Balaguer also get out. A general strike tied up the country. But he continued to hold out. Finally, a seven-man Junta, headed by Balaguer, was es tablished Jan. 1, but it was suddenly overthrown Jan. 16 by Major General Pedro Rod riguez Echavarria, then the armed forces secretary, who made a bid for power. Balaguer resigned. Forty-eight hours later Rod- Spelling Takes Organized Effort On Part of Child riguez was overthrown and . arrested. The deposed coun cil with Balaguer missing and headed by Bonelly came back to rule with the support , ol the military. j Governing Since ! With some reshuffling, they i have been governing ever since and preparing for the elections. However, the council has been under constant fire as a "do nothing" government by many disgruntled Dominicans who have been irritated by growing inflation, rising prices and unemployment. Council members point to their temporary caretaker j role and say they cannot in stitute sweeping permanent i measures which properly can 1 be ordered only by a.i elected government. There will be lonely figures watching the election from i afar Trujillo's brothers in ! Florida; Balaguer, lart report-; ed in New York, and Ranfis, presumably in Paris where he j seems more "at home" than in 1 the country his father ruled so long. Be Choosy . . . acuzzi PUMPS! Vi H.P.

Main Ph. 772-2939 S&H GREEN STAMPS By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Correct spelling is import ant in many areas of our daily life. Our language has many confusing words for the child, such as "to, too, two." If your child seems mixed up, he has good reason. Learning to spell takes an organized effort. Good study habits combined with desir able altitudes are essential. Individuals having difficulty with other subjects might be a clue to the problem. If the trouble is limited to spelling, the cure is probably in the area of improved atti tudes and study methods. If other difficulties are involved, your approach should be broader.' The basis may be physical or emotional. Special attention should be paid to vision, hearing, and speech. More Desirable The development of atti tudes such as interest, con fidence, and the urge to spell correctly are more desirable than the effect of competition and school marks. Spend some time helping him to understand the import ance of correct spelling. This can be done by discussing some purposes of writing. It is for communication. When either he or someone else looks at the writing, they should be able to read it easily. Proper spelling is one key. Good penmanship is an other which is closely related, and will be discussed in a fu ture article. Efforts should be concen trated on words which the child uses regularly. These can be determined by check ing his notebook, homework and other written material. Pick those words which have been misspelled. Once specific words have been identified, there are sev eral steps to be taken In study ing each. These are: look at the word; pronounce the word correctly; use the word in a sentence; look at the word saying the letters in order; close the eyes and spell the word; write the word two or three times checking its cor rectness each time. There are other possibilities and varia tions. In any case, the idea' is to have an orderly approach using vision, writing, and thought. Learning of Rules Another important aspect is the learning of rules. Al though our language has many irregularities, spelling rules are very helpful. There are many exceptions but the majority of words follow the rules. Practice and continued usage of learned words are necessary. This can be ac complished through regular writing which will normally include these words. Games can also be valuable aids. Rules and some games may be found in spelling or langu age books. Games can be pur chased or made up by you and your child. Aid in spelling can show immediate results. Make your child aware of his needs. Criticism should not be ex tensive. You only want to show that a problem exists. Follow this by helping him to correct the difficulty. He will be encouraged by his success. Spelling is a subject which is comparatively simple to teach. You should not hesi tate to assist your child. Work on attitudes and study methods in order to be successful.
