Take an Interest
To the Editor: Commenting
on your editorial of Dec. 7
concerning the Democratic
Central committee, I would
like to say that it is hearten
ing to know that there are
those that see things as they
are, and speak up. It was
surely quite correct as far as
it went.
In November, we read a let
ter from Madden, which you
generously printed in the edi
torial spot. It took at least
three-fourths of the column, it
was a nice letter, and it said
just what was intended - abso
lutely nothing. 1 don't believe
that there arc many in Jack
son county that have forgot
ten that the Maddens were
among the most vehement
advocates of the county offices
remaining elective. Making
them appointive would rob
the people of their votes, etc.,
etc. Now, we find that prin
ciple can go hang, it all de
pends on which foot the shoe
is on.
Also, Mark Norton writes,
nobody asked him to vote for
Madden. True, since by his
own admission, he was in on
this from the ground floor, so
whom did he expect to ask
him?
We had a very able and
efficient screening committee,
who should be commended
highly for their efforts in he
half of the Democrats, and
particularly, Past Chairman
Robert Boyer, for his reports
and words of wisdom offered.
Had Madden aspired to this
appointment for temporary
postmaster, he should have
had the courtesy to submit his
application, as others did, to
this committee which was the
accepted method for obtaining
eligible applicants, approved
bv both Senator Morse and
the Central committee.
Somewhere along the line
a good many of the committee
members have lost sight of
the intent of this organization,
which is to LEAD the parly,
not to promote a mutual ad
miration society, for further
ing individual conniving, by
any means, regardless of cost
to the party. An Oregon elec
tion law, ORS 248 020, pro
vides that each precinct have
two committee members, one
of each sex, to represent them
in the Central committee. As
of now, there are 45 precincts
without any members, and 26
with only one to represent
them, and quite a few not
very active. Chairman Jean
Mills is doing a Herculean job
of conducting the meetings in
an orderly manner, in spite of
harassmcnts and deliberate
confusion, as well as inter
minable harangues (known po
litically as filibusters) which
is hardly called for at the
county level. Every precinct
should have an interest in be
ing represented and support
ing all actions for responsible
leadership of the Democratic
party by I he Central commit
tee. Until such interest is
takrn. the Democrats will
likely remain at the bottom
of the heap as they arc now.
This is one tiling that should
not be left for the other fellow
to do.

To the Editor: In answer to, intimidation, showing instead
a recent letter in the Com
munications column and a
report (121962) by Al Kuet
tner. Southern reporter,
U.P.I., on the progress (or
lack of it) in the case of Ne
gro student James Meredith,
enrolled in the University of
Mississippi and the cost of this
venture.
Neither the letter, trying to
establish Meredith's inability
by refering to an article in a
nationally known magazine,
nor the report, have made
their point, but rather have
the University negligent in
not controling the atmosphere
under which this student
lived and studied on the cam
pus. Nor did they establish
that he would not have main

required to admit him had
conditions been equitable.
It did. however, place the

My life closed twice before its close;

(A Prayer for Christmas, 1062)
For ages have the Hounds of War
Tugged, loud with torment on their leash;
Men shudder at the hideous roar,
Yet rush as eager to the feast!
Now, if these Hounds of Hell shall bay,
The mushroom clouds shall fearsome rise;
Even dark night shall glare as day,
As balls of flame make red the skies!
O. Lord of Hosts, whose world wc keep
(Whose Son met death with crown of thorns)
Send wisdom, ere such fiery storms
Clothe all our sons in endless sleep.

Compact cars are simply great,
But 1 prefer mine roomy.

Won't make Detroit feel gloomy).
But why, for heaven's sake
And the sight just leaves me stunned
Are compacts always filled
With bean-poles and shapes rotund?
As anyone can sec who
Can count up his digits:
Compact cars are simply fine
For pixies, moles and midgets.

Ballad of a Trivial Affair
How many, how many years ago
Did I know his name? Did I know his name?
The smile's still there and the eyes still glow;
When I look at his face, the thrill's the same.
Up in the attic, laid deep in a box
Of hidden reminders of girlhood days,
Among faded corsages and ribbons and frocks
I founl a face from my yesterdays:
A face from the past and a flame long dead.
I didn't know it was just a game!
Now I recall how my young heart bled
But what in the world was his name?
How many, how many years ago
Did I dream those dreams?
Did 1 dream those dreams?
Confident innocence, soon to know that
Romance is a business of wide extremes.
Vain! I was vain in the days of my youth;
To yield for another was grief for me.
But love and fulfillment came, in truth,
When finally my heart set its passion free.
Now his name is forgotten and gone, but I
Recall with a smile how I learned 'twas vain
To weep in the nights as the hours crept by
Or dream those dreams again!

ligious segregation is un
American and strikes at the
very foundations of freedom
upon which our way of life
predicated.
Ours is a cosmopolitan na
tion, comprised of all nation
alities, admitted to citizenship
by naturalization or born
under our flag. To discrimi
nate against any group is to
demonstrate insincerity in
claiming freedom for all, and
to breed discontent, even to
fostering communism.
Some express the fear that
allowing integration of
schools will soon develop into
a situation where inter-marriage
will present a problem.
This I hold to be without
foundation, in that the schools
in the northern stales have
always been open to all and
no problem has arisen.
I fail to understand the
thinking that mixing of the
races in schools, public trans
portation vehicles, or other
public places of gathering,
will create chaos, when many
of the same people maintain
ing this fear have members of
the segregated races working
in their own homes, earing
for their children and han
dling the very food they eat.
If these people are actually so
superior are they not superior
enough to fend off any con
tamination? Yes, it seems to
me that if the laws of the
land, the laws of nature and
the laws of common decency
arc adhered to, all these
troubles will disappear.

Rebuttal
To the Editor: In his his
toric address of Oct. 22 Presi
dent Kennedy invoked both
the Rio Treaty and the UN
Charter in calling for immedi
ate action by the OAS and the
UN "against this latest Soviet
threat to world peace" in
Cuba. OAS action was imme
diate and unanimous in sup
port of our "quarantine."
Equally prompt, and over
whelmingly favorable, was
the response at the UN,
thanks largely to the brilliant
and effective presentation of
our case by Ambassador Ste
venson. That the mission of U Thanl
and his delegation of neutrals
failed to obtain Castro's con
sent lo on-site inspection of
Russia's missile bases docs not
minimize the importance of
this historic action by the
UN. Neither Khrushchev nor
we were able to budge the
bearded puppet. The Secretary-General
continued, and
still continues, to press for
a final, peaceful solution
through all means .at his dis
posal: not least, through end
less hours of behind-the-scenes
consultations with represen
tatives of the nations most
concerned.
If our own military action
through aerial inspections was
decisive, as was our major
role in Korea, let no one dis
parage either thc necessity
lor nor thc importance of UN
approval and collaboration.
History will apportion due
crcdil to both - even if Messrs.
Robert J. Howard and James
K. Shafer are reluctant to do
so (MT 12 27).
Both genllemen also need
lo gel Ihe Congo record
straight. Mr. Howard says the
UN action there was in viola
lion of the Charter and char
acterizes it as "aggressive in
lervention." Wrong on both
counts. The action was based
upon specific Charter provi
sions, and aid extended a
member nation in response to
its urgent appeals is not inter
vention. He regards Tshom
he's secession as courageous,
whereas most African leaders
look upon him as a collabo
rator with the colonialists.
Even Helgium, till recently
Tshombe's most outspoken
supporter, now agrees that
Katanga belongs within Ihe
Congo; and the foreign min
ing interests have declared
their readiness to share their
profits with the Central gov
ernment. Mr. Sbafer's theology re
mains confused. He still in
sists he's for brotherhood but.
Me "cannot be a brother to
those who reject the Father
and treat . . . fellow human
beings contrary to the words
and example of Jesus Christ."
But thc love of God as re
vealed to us in the life and
teachings of Jesus makes no
such distinctions. It is inclu
sive. So ours should he, as
we are taught in Luke (1:27

On the Air
By ELEANOR WIESE
Television advertisers are
becoming increasingly aware
of the teen age market
something radio advertisers
discovered years ago.
This week's Time maga
zine reports the phenomenal
success of a hair preparation
called "Greasy Kid Stuff,"
brewed in a lard can as a joke
by a pair of college students.
Benefitting from a million
dollar TV advertising cam
paign where an athletic hero
scoffs at greasy kid stuff on
the hair, the sale of thc colle
giate combination of lanolin,
mineral oil and perfume has
reached the fifty thousands.
The Television Bureau of
Advertising, as quoted in
P.T.A. magazine, reports that
every day 88.6 per cent of
American teen agers watch
television compared to only
60 0 per cent of adult men
and 78.4 per cent of adult
women. Most TV programs,
especially westerns, reach 33
per cent of the country's teen
age population.
These figures arc not lost
on American advertisers.
"The teen age market," re
marks one advertising expert,
"is wide open to the alert ad
vertiser. " And why? Because
"leen agers are more suscep
tible." Besides, adds thc Bu
reau, whereas the average
high school senior can com
prehend only about one-third
of what he reads in news
magazines and about one-half
of what he reads in a mass
picture magazine, he can ap
parently understand every
thing he sees on television.
(This will surprise nobody.)
All this explains why thc
Bureau sees teen agers as a
"major market target," in tho
jargon of thc trade. Within
five years, it predicts it may
be rare lo see a television
commercial lhal shows an
adult using a product.
And that s the pleasant
thought for today.

Why do we have such big wheels
on our little car?
There ore some gripping reasons.
It would ba worth having big wheels on the
VW just so it could have big tires.
Why? Because big tires hold the road better
ond last longer than little tires.
But that's only hall of it.
The Volkswagen people put those big wheels
on Ihe VW so that we could have bigger brakes,
too.
Obviously, the bigger Ihe brakes Ihe surer the
stops.
The big wheels also let nice fresh oir in to cool
the brakes more quickly.
Which means that the VW's brakes always
come back for more, no matter how hard you
step on them.
The VW's wheels are bigger than they hove lo
be because VW likes lo overdo things in a big way.
Hike Ihe fourth cool of paint that you really don't
need, either.)
So when you drive away in your new VW, you
can expect about 40,000 miles on Ihe original
rubber. IWhich is roughly Iwice what you can
hope lor on most other cars.)
Bui you'll have to go a long way to beat the
record hold by Mr, Robert Walton of Home'
stead, Florido.
He chalked up 103,345 miles on his original
set of 5 tires.
Which Is quite o stretch lo go without getting
tired.
