Second Creation To the Editor: As I read the different opinions of men on the words "created eqal," all men born from the see on the words "created equal," Some things I have said be fore and now I'll add a little more. I did not know that I did not know anything when I was born until someone told me that. I did not know there was a God who gave His Son for the world He loved (John 3:16) until someone told me thai. 1 did not know 0 was 0 until someone told me that. I did not know there is no place in the Bible where the word "cat" can be found, the smartest animal born on earth, and the man Moses next, who wrote the first book of Genesis, until some one told me that.' And to the man that wants proof from the King James Bible, there is a first and second creation; the first, Genesis chapt. 1 V 26 to 28, Who Are the Egyptians, Acts Chapt. 7 V 21:22. The second creation, Genesis chapt. 2 V 7, God had no help when he formed man. Cain was the first born from the second creation (Genesis chapt. 4-11) end Cain's wife was from the Egyptians (Genesis chapt. 4-17). There were no daughters born to the Second Creation until after Isiah was born, (Genesis chapt. 5v4). If there was anyone born from the second creation more dumb or with more wisdom than I, no one has told me yet. Marshall H. Waggoner, P.O. Box 39, Sutherlin, Ore. spread of Communism . . . Not going down, and because tome merchant happens to have a Polish ham in his shop, saying he Is unpatriotic, doesn't seem to me to be a great contribu tion to the fight against com munism. "-President John F. Kennedy, Dec. 12, 1962.) Polish Hams To the Editor: Just can't let you get away with your far. to-the-left Editorial, "Boy. cotts" of 1763. Patriotic folks all over America are up in arms over the flood of Com munist slave labor merchan dise now pouring into Ameri can markets, for the following reasons: 1. Every U. S. dollar spent on these goods strengthens the tyrannical power of the Com munist bosses over their en slaved laborers. It does not Improve one iota the inhuman living standards set by their slavemasters for the workers who produced these goods. This utterly inhumane situa tion alone should stop us from buying such merchandise. 2. Prices of slave labor goods are not determined by economic laws, but by polit ical purposes of the Commu nists. Therefore Americ a n factories have already been put out of business, others are slowly being squeezed out, and many, many others are curtailing production. Thousands of Americans are being thrown out of jobs by something far more vicious than just unfair and dirty competition. Compet itive efficiency cannot meet this threat. For no matter how low American prices are cut, the Slave labor bosses can and will cut under them. You say that last year we exported goods worth $122.4 million to Soviet Bloc coun tries while importing only $84.6 million from them. That sounds wonderful till you learn that the bulk of our ex ports was In the form of foreign aid paid for by the American tax payer. Don't you realize those Polish hams the Reds are selling us so cheap were grown on grain we GAVE to Poland? Why do you resent the conserva 1 1 v e American "pressure groups" who are fighting for their economic lives by stop ping the sale of this merchan dise? Why don't you resent the pressure of our state de partment to promote their sale, in order to help its Com munist friends? Thank God there is a revul sion sweeping over America among our retailers against selling our country down the river just to make a "fast buck," Merchants, large and small, are cleaning Commu nist merchandise off their shelves and not reordering. For they are beginning to realize that American dollars paid into Communist pockets for slave labor goods could eventually wreck the Amer ican free enterprise System, while building up the strength of our deadly mortal enemy: furthermore, that these dol lars may come back to us with interest some day in the form of bullets, bombs, or missiles. Your pro-American merchant won t have merch andise on his shelves labeled as being from Poland, Yugo slavia, Hungary. Czechoslo vakia, East Germany, etc. Tony Galli 1720 S. W.

A., or "Feel Like A Million," by Katherine Ell wood. Anna M. Streed 36 North Peach st. Medford. More About Nutrition To the Editor: This is an answer to Miss Stratton (MT 12-31-62). Your ideas about nutrition agree perfectly with what the food processors and j their advertisers say on TV, i radio, and in the press. The : science of nutrition has made great advances since 1920, but the new knowledge has not been widely disseminated because of the opposition of those who profit by the status quo. Two theories concerning the origin of life are held by scientists - biogenesis, the doctrine that life generates only from life, and abiogen esis or spontaneous genera tion. Scientists through exhaust ive food study have found and recognized four classes ol substances absolutely neces sary to life and health. Of these, minerals were first known. One source of these is from soil through plants. Some, as copper, co balt, etc., are very scarce in the soil. We call them trace minerals. In minute amounts they are indispensable in nu trition. When they are lack ing in the soil, plants grown In that Soil are deficient in nutritive value and frequent ly exhibit signs of ill health. Vitamins was the next group to become known. When it became possible to reproduce their chemical structure cynthetically, their use became a racket but has not prevented the fearful in crease of degenerativ diseases. Next to become known were the amino acids, the building blocks of protein, 31 in number. Of these 10 must be in our food if life is to be maintained. All are valuable in nutrition. Last to become known are the enzymes. Very little is known about them. However, researchers suspect that they may be more important than vitamins are. See "Enzymes: Medicine's Bright Hope," in The Reader's Digest, June 1960 or 61. Enzymes are live substances whose destruction by heat begins at 120 degrees. In a natural food these all occur tied in together and so help each other maintain health. Such foods are live foods. Foods that have been processed - and cooking is a form of processing - are dead foods, hence cannot maintain the health and life to as great a degree and for as long a period as can live foods. For instance, herbivor ous animals which live on natural foods have no degen erative diseases. Their off spring are born strong and healthy. Compare these with the weak, diseased (heart le sions, cancer, etc.) and for physically and mentally han dicapped offspring being born in ever increasing numbers to human parents. For further study see "Stay Young Longer," by Linda Anything Is Possible To the Editor: I have al ways claimed that the Med ford Mail Tribune has the most open-minded staff of any newspaper in the United States, and now, after read ing your article of Jan. 6, "Conversation With Daniel W. Fry," I am sure of it. True, or not true, your newspaper gives everyone a fair chance to voice their opinions, and a grateful pub lic realizes this fact. It's about time, in view of our own advanced "Space Program," that the people of the world wake up and ac cept the fact that anything is possible. It's about time that peo ple with unique experiences are allowed to be heard, and not cast into jail, or mental homes for the incompetent, because their theories do not Poets' Corner Conducted by Arnold Eugene Jenny No Time For Poetry? The planet can be fractured. Mankind can be annihiliated. In these latter days of history, is there a place for art or chivalry? Is there no time for poetry? . . . For the health of science, no less than the prosperity of humanity, we must have poetry. The madness of the times has not excused us from the burden of reading and writing and talking things over; indeed, these are basic to everything else. Skill in language is not only a grace; it is an essential. James R. Scales, President Oklahoma Baptist University (Submitted by Mrs. Alice Applegate Peil, The Manor, Medford) O Break, Break, Break Break, break, break, On thy cold gray stones, O Sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. O well for the fisherman's boy, That he shouts with his sister at play! O well for the sailor lad, That he sings in his boat on the bay! And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill; But O for the touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a voice that is still! Break, break, break, At the foot of thy crags, O Sea! But the tender grace of a day that is dead Will never come back to me. Alfred, Lord Tennyson O To Chant the Triumphal Aniiphon Belatedly we come into our own Full round of years of fervent, practiced prayers, With creaking joints and many passive dreams "When palsy shakes a few sad, last, gray hairs". What if the fog is drifting past our eyes? What though the memory is dull and worn? Our wandering path goes roughly on and lies Secure, though laid "amid the alien corn". Hope waves a banner bearing lines of peace Eternal words that ever lure us on Where joyously with life's "full throated ease" We yet shall chant the triumphal antiphon.

L. Smith, 483 Allison Court SE Salem, Ore. Some Questions To the Editor: We arc fre quently advised by "wise men" to forget the past and look to the future. In some instances that is good advice. But there is another side of the coin. A well known histor ian said, "The nation that does not know the past cannot wisely safeguard its future". I believe that one reason the world as well as our own na tion is floundering in rough seas today is the fact that so many have ignored the lessons we might have learned from the past. For Instance, in our dealings with Russia and China for at least 20 years we have acted as though their past history and conditions had no bearing at all on their nature and disposition. Are we still blundering along in the same manner? Are we dealing today with these na tions and Cuba and the Congo as if they were created last week out of nothing? Sixty-four years ago we set Cuba free from Spanish tyranny. Then, wisely, our government kept a guiding hand on the young nation till they learned some lessons of state. But four years ago Cuba was set free of one dictator and, with no strings attached, turned over to another one, worse than any thing Spain had imagined in 1898. In dealing with Korea we made another mistake. Al though most men knew that Stalin and the Communists could not be trusted, Presi dent Truman invited the Russians to walk into Korea unopposed and take over. He obligingly divided the terri tory along, the 38th parallel. The Koreans are still paying for his mistake and no one knows how long they will continue to do so. Now we know that our young man in the White House is not ignorant of his tory. But how is he profiting thereby? Who are his advisers? Who pulls the strings to make him hop or skip as they see fit? Or, to put it more kindly, who blocks or shifts the scenery contrary to his wishes? Are the Wielands, Rostows, Schle singers and their stooges run ning the State Department in spite of wise, true and cour ageous men the President should have at his right hand? When Mr. Kennedy made one brave, wise move in re gard to Cuba, the free world applauded. Now is he going to spoil it all by a false and foolish move in the Congo? Already Britain, France and Belgium, our old and trusted allies, are asking pointed questions. We cannot appease a Khrushchev or a Gizenga. L. G. Weaver 301 Haven st. Medford Psalm for Today To the Editor: Oh, God, Thy world grows smaller and smaller, while man's num bers grow greater and great er. Man's knowledge increas eth day by day; his ambition knoweth no bounds. He plerc eth Thy wide blue yonder; da yand night he dreameth greater exploits. Fear filleth the hearts of Thy children; there remaineth no place In which to hide. Thy colored children throw off their shackles; for freedom they are willing to die. But Sa tan's power grows strong, as the light grows dim in far places. Materialism reigns su preme o'er the earth; man seeketh pleasures that can not satisfy. Oh God, kindle a right spirit in the hearts of Thy Children. Let all the earth before Thee bow, and know that Thou art their God, indeed! Willcska R. Loosley Fort Klamath, Ore. Submitted by: Gertrude Stanley Brownsboro rd., Eagle Point, Ore. Inclusive Teaching To the Editor: Typical of many of the "aginners" to whom I referred 12 10 and 1223, James K. Shafer re sponded with an array of ir relevancies Instead of coming to grips with my primary is sue. Perhaps he doesn't know what "irrelevant" means, for he regards all of his and oth ers' devious verbal excursions as relevant to my discussion. My original proposition was that "many habitual 'aginners' reflect the same spectrum of phobias (nudism, chlonna lion, fluoridation, smoking integration, Catholics, the UN, UN1CEF and UNESCO), and I wondered (In print) if some psychologist or social scientist perhaps could explain this phenomenon. Mr. Shafer's and other respondents' comments com pletely Ignored this basic point. That's what made their unrelated dissertations so ob viously irrelevant. Evidently, being neither psychologists nor social scientists, they could offer no explanation. In response to my remark that "unbrotherly attacks up on fellow-Christians is unseem ly and a denial of the gospel of love," Mr. Shafer indulged In a further spate of lrrelevan cics with regard to the mean ing of brotherhood. On 1212 he said "all men are my brothers," then appended qualifications which suggested the need to add "-but" at the end of his decla ration. Now, on 13 he practi cally negates his profession o f brotherhood altogether with a long, and again irrele vant, tirade against commu nism (never even mentioned in my earlier letters of this series). Surely, no literate person needs to be reminded of the nature or menace of atheistic communism. M r. Shafer's many references to the sub ject were quite superflous at least as far as this writer is concerned. I do not wish to clutter this valuable space with more of the same, ex cept to say that I am no less opposed to communism than is Mr. Shafer. What I had tried to make clear in discussing brother hood (my only real present concern) is that as revealed in the life and teachings of Jesus it is an inclusive, never an exclusive or limited, thing. In the interest of space, I cite again Luke 6:27-38 and would add Matt. 7:12, Luke 10:30-37, Rom. 14:10, and First John 2:8-11, 3:10-18 and 4:20-21. Interested readers may wish to look these up. Perhaps most pertinent among these references are Jesus in junction to love our enemies and not to judge, that we may avoid being judged; and John's warning that "he who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness still."
