The Inter-Faith Dialogue
". . . Though occasional skirmishes still occur, the
four-hundred year cold war which has ravaged Chris
tendom since the Reformation is rapidly coming to
an end. Though reunion is hardly yet in the offing,
genuine understanding and respect are. That is a
tremendous gain."
The quotation is from The Commonweal, the
weekly magazine 01 opinion edited Dy i-atnonc
laymen, which is generally understood to be the
voice of liberal American Catholic thought.
It is from an editorial in which it is an
nounced that a Protestant minister would hence
forth be a regular columnist in the magazine,
an event which, the editors said, not many years
ago would have been "unthinkable." That it is
now not only thinkable, but an accomplished
fact, sneaks well for moderate and rational souls.
This new era was a factor in Time magazine's
naming Pope John XXIII its "Man of the Year."
THE dialogue between Catholics and non
Catholics, which The Commonweal is so use
fully assisting, is an important one. We are not
here concerned with the theological aspect as
much as the human and organizational aspects.
Theology, it would be safe to assume, will
long prevent any substantial degree of inter-faith
unity. And for our part, we believe theological
diversity is a healthy thing in a tree, diverse, and
pluralistic society such as ours.
Yet pluralism has not prevented mutual re
spect and understanding between Protestant de
nominations, we are happy to note the signs
that this is becoming increasingly true as between
Protestants and Roman Catholics, as well as be
tween the branches of Catholicism.
Who knows, the day may come when con
vinced and honest agnostics and atheists will be
accorded the same respect and understanding.
E. A.
Court Study Needed
The Oregon Council on Crime and Delin
quency this week issued a report entitled "Court
Services to Children and Families in Oregon."
It concluded that a sweeping study of Oregon's
court system, with special reference to family
cases, is needed.
In this recommendation it joins the legisla
tive interim committee studying divorce laws
and adjudication, and the 1960 Oregon State Bar
family law committee.
The Council's report is interesting reading,
and it makes a good case for the statement that
some review of the situation, leading to corrective
legislation, is badly needed.
IT CALLS Oregon's court system, particularly
as it is involved in children and family cases,
a "hodgepodge" of five kinds of courts, with
overlapninjr .jurisdictions, little if any collabor
ation or even communication, many with made
quate staffs, all of this preventing a unified a p.
proach to solving family and delinquency prol
lems, and protecting society.
It says that answers are needed to the lollow.
ing questions:
1. What feasible court structure and organization
can be developed which will make possible a unified
approach to the problems of families and children
coming before them?
2. What diagnostic and treatment tools should such
courts have to insure that appropriate and effective
action is taken in each case?
THE fact that we are used to our present court
organization docs not mean that it is sacred
and should not be tampered with. It is a human
contrivance, not immune to improvement.
At present, at one time and place or another,
a child may come before a municipal court, a
justice court, a district court, a county court, or
a circuit court.
Whether Oregon should follow the Rhode
Island system of family relations courts, or use
some other system which has yet to be devised,
remains to be seen. But it is evident from the
Council's recommendations that a long, hard look
at the courts of today is long overdue. E. A.
On Missing The Times
James (Scotty) Reston is chief of the New
York Times' Washington bureau, and writes a
column for that respected newspaper. Since the
newspaper strike in New York has closed all
the city's dailies, Ihe only place Reston is
printed now is in the Times' western edition,
published in Los Angeles.
Just before Christmas, Reston wrote "An ur
gent letter to Santa Clans," which appeared in
the western edition, it was sort of a minor clas
sic, in its way. One plaintive paragraph said:
"Somebody struck tile Times in the belief that it's
a newspaper, but that is obviously ridiculous. The
Times is a public institution, like the Yankees and
Harney Baruch. When everything else is changing,
The Times remains Ihe same- typographical errors
and all."

Communications
Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer,
although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial
for publication is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to
edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters
submitted for publication must nol exceed 400 words. The letters
printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the
paper, in fact the contrary is often the case.
Fire Walking Beetles
. To the Editor: Do any of
the Tribune readers ever re
call seeing a hard shell back
beetle that actually managed
to survive hot ashes?
Going out on a small brush
fire one time on the Rogue
River National forest in the
Union Creek area somewhere
around 1937, a small crew of
men were detailed to patrol
the burned over area all
night. The foreman on duly
asked me if 1 wanted to see
some strange creatures around
the burned out tree stumps.
Of course I was naturally
curious to get first hand in
formation.
The foreman, used a long
handled shovel to turn over
a shovelful of ashes around a
tree stump in the hot pumice
ashes. There were literally
scads of dark colored beetles
pouring out of the formerly
red hot ashes surrounding the
charred tree stumps.
No one at that time seem
ed able to explain the un
usual phenomenon, and I have
never had the mystery ex
plained. Perhaps there is
someone who docs know. This
is one for Lynn M. Watkins
to solve. ,

Boxing
To the Editor: Is boxing a
sport? For the boxers or fight
ers or for the paying public?
The Romans had arenas
where slaves fought for Iheir
masters. In the boxing ring,
which is not round, the par
ticipants fight for more mon
ey lhan they could earn oth
erwise and most of them
either get punch drunk or suf
fer some disability, often for
life. In the audience are some
of the best educated nd most
successful men of the com
munity. Just what do we mean by
civilization?

E ALSO comments on the differences in life
that the lack of newspapers creates:
"Without newspapers the procedures of life change.
Tired, men. su k of the human race after a long gabby
day at the office, cannot escape on the train into the
life story of Y A. Tittle or the political peril? of
Harold Macmillan, but must go on talking to strangers
all the way to Westport. Once home, they are bereft
of excuses lo avoid fixing that dripping tap or shovel
ing the walk."
In his final plea to Santa to bring back The
Times, Reston wrote a line which may well be
come imperishable in the newspaper profession:
"Besides, how do 1 know what to think if 1
can't lead what I write'.'" E. A.
I recited to her the following
lines:
"It's better lo buy a small
bouquet
"To give to your friend this
very day,
"Than a bushel of roses
white and red;
"To lay on his casket when
he's dead."
"And," said I, "I want to
hand you a bouquet. Some
station agents and some post
mistresses seem to think it
a more or less condescention
lo act courteous and nice lo
the general public, but you
are different. You are graci
ously nice and obligingly
courteous to all and sundry,
and I for one want you to
know that I sincerely appreci
ate it." I shall never forget
her spontaneous, unpremedi
tated, and quick reply, "Why
not be that way?"
Which, Mr. Editor, reminds
me of the sage words of the
early Roman emperor and
philosopher, Marcus Auerlius,
"Men are born to be service
able to one another; therefore
either reform the World, or
bear with it." The Apostle
Peter wrote at an earlier date
words that have their place
in our Bible, "Be courteous."

Be Courteous
To the Editor: A Happy
New Year in the deepest and
truest sense to you and all
of your renders, and may we
again express our thanks lo
you, and lo the Mail Tribune,
or the Communications col
umns in which readers may
express themselves about mat
ters of public interest and
moment.
Al this time I take pleasure
in writing some facts concern
ing two people who came
across my path about 30 years
ago. We lived near a town
In Saskatchewan where a fine
gracious woman was assistant
to the postmaster, her broth
er. In the same town there
lived a man who was a chur
lish high-hat Englishman in
charge of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway station. The
town wasn't big. but il had
two big people in it, the big
high-hat Englishman with
whom it was a condescension
to be civil and gracious: and
the big. big-hearted gracious
Canadian postmistress who
was sunshiny even on a
cloudy day, and who, if you
happened to be in a hurry,
could and would even lick a
stamp lo put on your letter
or parcel for you!
I said there were two bis
people in that town. Ihe sel
fish Englishman, and the un
selfish Canadian woman. One
day when Miss McE. --a fine
looking woman, with her fine
gracious countenance and
courleous manners; 1 never
learned why al around 40
she was still Miss had licked
a stamp and put it on a par
cel for me, 1 said. "Miss McE.,
may I quote lo ou a little
verse I learned once?" and.
as she looked I genial assent.

Inflation, Instability Mark Brazil;
President's Role Remains a Question
Br PHIL NEWSOM
UP! Foreign News Analyst
When, nearly two years ago,
the United Slates announced
its Alliance for Progress pro
gram for Lat
in America, it
committed i t-
self to more
than just
money. By
plcdg ing an
all-out effort
to help Latin
Amer i c a n s
achieve a bet-
Mewsem ter way of life
through democratic processes,
it also placed its own prestige
on the line. And any Latin
American nation henceforth
which might fall either to
violent revolution on the left
or to military dictatorship on
the right delivered a blow
against the United States.
It is with this in mind that
the United States of lale has
been paying more than the
usual attention to Brazil.
As of this minute, Brazil
owes more than $2.7 billion,
about half of it to the United
States, and has no money to
pay it.
A Christmas bonus of one
month's extra pay, which ail
Brazilian employers must pay
their employes, was just about
wiped out by vicious inflation
which in the last year alone
amounted to 50 per cent.
Black beans and meat had
just about disappeared and
Brazilians were standing in
queues to receive small bags
of rice at government con
trolled prices.
Related to the sorry state
of Brazilian finances were
two other causes for concern.
One was a fear that the
government might feel it had
to resort to totalitarian means
to solve its? problems.
Another was Brazil's in
creasing flirtation with the
Communist bloc.
At the center of this is
Brazilian President Joao Gou
lart who on this coming Sun
day hopes for a belated Christ
mas present in a frayed stock
ing. On Jan. 6, Coularl hopes
Brazilian voters will restore
to his office the powers strip
ped away 16 months ago when
he succeeded the resigned
Janio Quadros. Under mili
tary pressure and in a move
of questionable constitution
ality, parliament then set up a
government of a strong prime
minister and a weak pres
ident. It is Goulart's claim that
without restoration of his
powers, he can do nothing to
deliver Brazil from its present
state.
In this there are two im
porlant question marks.
The first is Gouia.-i.
In a visit to the United
Slates last April he apparent
ly succeeded in persuading
the U.S. government and
many businessmen that he
was moving away from the
political left to the center and
was sincere in his announced
intention to set up tax, educa
tional and farm reforms to
meet requirements of Alliance
for Progress aid.
Instead, Brazilian inflation
accelerated and little progress
was made on other problems.
In addition, Goulart was
packing his cabinet with left
ists and assigned leftist-leaning
officers of his own choos
ing in the armed forced.
And herewith the second
question mark.
Even should Brazilian
voters give him the power he
seeks, will Brazil's armed
forces let him keep them?
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
From Salem:
Increases in the per capita
income level in Oregon may
cost the state up to $850,000
in federal welfare funds over
the next two years. Public
W e 1 fare Administrator An
drew Juras said. Juras made
the announcement al a meet
ing of the State Public Wel
fare commission.
The announcement was not
welcome news to the Hatfield
administration. The proposed
public welfare budget will
have lo be recomputed to
make up for the loss in fed
eral funds, Juras explained.
PERSOINALLY, I think that
is slated wrongly.
What is happening is that
incomes in Oregon are rising.
That is GOOD news, not BAD
news. What we should say is
that INCREASES in the in
come level in Oregon may
ake it unnecessary for our
state to HAVE TO ACCEPT
$850,000 in federal welfare
funds over the next two years.
Let's look at the doughnut
- not at the hole.
CONSIDER this ilem from
the Oregon Blue Book:
Oregon s (present) motto is
"The Union."
"Alis Volat Propriis" (She
Flics with Her Own Wings)
was ihn Orecon territorial
motto and was generally ac
cepted as the state motto lor
many years, but was NEVER
adopted by the state government.
Gas Tax
To the Editor: I take pen in

i of our valley in regards to
! Hie proposed gasoline lax in
i crease.
j I have recently been in-
formed of a proposal that w ill
allegedly be presented lo Ihe
Slate Legislature in the
j forthcoming term. This bill in
, essence requests a one cent
: per gallon tax increase in the
j already overburdened State
I gas tax (when 1 say overbur
dened I mean the public!)
I wonder of the State High
way commission could say
that every penny of the pres
ent gas tax goes strictly into
roads and highways alone?
The federal government, not
the state paid for over 90 per
cent of our new Freeway
which we are so proud to have.
Our neighbor California pro
poses an increase also, but not
as much as Oregon's and even
if they do get it, it will be
:i cents less than ours after
it's added to their present lax.
I believe thai the American
public is being forced to have
loo many increases in taxes
rammed down their throats,
for instance, the 1 cent postal
increase, stricter income tax
enforcement, the evcr-increas-infl
real rslnlc taxes. n!i

crease would cost the average
salesman, or anyone whose
business involves traveling an
average of 65 cents per 1. 000

fleet of cars will really feel
it
1 guess most people have
heard the old saying. "Give

" 'The Union' appears on
the state seal and is accepted
by most authorities as the
state motto, although the law
has never designated it as
such."
A SUGGESTION:
Why not put on the ballot
at the next general election a
measure proposing that Ore
gon formally adopt SHE
FLIES WITH HER OWN
WINGS as the state motto?
This writer has confidence
enough in the sturdy inde
pendence of the REAL peo
ple of Oregon to believe that
such a measure would be ap
proved by an overwhelming
majority.
MORE Oregon census news:
The Oregon Health Board
said that Oregon had fewer
births and more deaths this
year than last year.
In a preliminary year-end
report, the board said births,
marriages and divorces have
all dropped, but deaths have
increased about 2.6 per cent.
There were an estimated 10,
872 marriage and 5.800 di
vorces in 1962 - a two to one
ratio consistent with the past
five years.
B
UT-
Prcliminarv figures put
births at 37.406 and deaths at
17.273. - a favorable ratio of
a little belter than TWO to
ONE in the way of births over
deaths.
That ought to provide us
with about as much popula
tion increase as we can take
care of adequately in the years
immediately ahead.
1 WORD of advice:
Oregon is ALL RIGHT.
Don't sell her short.

CHANGE
As we enter the tremulous
year of 1963, I can think of
no better contemporary text
for our read
ing and re
flection than
a few para
graphs proph
etically writ
ten a . half
dozen years
ago by the
the physicist
J. Robert Op-
Harris penhcimer. In
his book, "The Open Mind,"
Dr. Oppenheimcr sets the task
before us more clearly and
concisely than any I have
heard. This task is our prers
ing universal need to recog
nize change, and to cope with
it:
. .
"In an Important sense,"
Dr. Oppenheimer reminds
us, "this world of ours is a
new world, in which the
unity of knowledge, the
nature of human Communi
ties, the order of society,
the order of ideas, the very
notions of society and cul
ture have changed, and will
not return to what they
have been in the past.
"What is new is new not
because it has never been
there before, but because it
has changed in quality. One
thing that is new is the
prevelence of newness, ihe
changing scale and scope of
change itself, so that the
world alters as we walk in
it, so that the year's of
man's life measure not
some small growth or re
arrangement or moderation
of what he learned in child
hood, but a great upheaval.
"What is new is that in
one generation our knowl
edge of the natural world
engulfs, upsets, and comple
ments all knowledge of the
natural world before. The
techniques among which
and by which we live, mul
tiply and ramify, so that
Ihe whole world it bound
together by communication,
blocked here and there by
the immense synapses of
political tyranny.
"The global quality of the
world is new: our knowledge
of and sympathy with remote
and diverse peoples, our in
volvement with them in prac
tical terms, and our commit
ment to them in terms of
brotherhood.
"What is new in the world
is the massive character of the
dissolution and corruption of
authority, in belief, in ritual,
and in temporal order. Yet
this is the world that we have
come to live in. The very dif
ficulties which il presents de
rive from growth in under
standing, in skill, in power.
"To assail the changes that
have unmoored us from the
past is futile, and in a deep
sense, I think it is wicked. We
need to recognize the change
and learn what resources we
have,"
I quote from Dr. Oppen
hcimer's book at such length
because I believe tl at what
he has said needs to be deeply
imprinted on every mind in
the year ahead. Our grasp of
what he calls "the changing
scale of change itself" may
determine whether we leave
this year any wiser and better
lhan we entered it, or whe
ther, indeed, we leave 11 at
all.
