In the Day's News By FRANK What's happening in Can- aaa? What caused it to happen? This 1 about it: ?ARLY in January, Ameri- can General Norstad, re tired commander of NATO forces in Europe, paid a visit to Ottawa, Canada's capital, on his way home to the U.S. While there, he told a news conference that Canada would not fulfill its commitments to NATO unless it accepted nu clear weapons for its air and ground forces in Europe. The Canadian parliament assembled in January 25, and Lester Pearson (leader of the out-of-power opposition party) said in a foreign policy speecli that Canada SHOULD AC CEPT U.S. nuclear weapons for its forces in Europe. A few days later he needled Conservative Premier Diefen baker for i.ot having done so. Diefenbaker replied, but his reply was vague. He didn't say definitely whether Canada had accepted or re jected a nuclear role for Cana dian forces. rpHEN - On January 30 - The U.S. jumped into Can ada's nuclear row. Our state department took issue with many points made by Premier Diefenbaker in his answer to Pearson. Washington told Ottawa it was HIGH TIME Canada ac cepted U.S. nuclear rrms. rpHAT did it..

CORVAIR Greenbrier De CORVAIR Crcenbrur Sports Wagon Now Bonanza 9TH JENKINS ienbaker said the Washington statement CONSTITUTES AN U N W A R R ANTED INTRU SION into Canadian affairs. A few days later, he told the reporters that "Canada has demonstrated that it is not in the New Frontier of the United States." What in countries using the parliamentary system is called a vote of NO CONFI DENCE was introduced in the Canadian House of Com mons. Diefenbaker lost by a vote of 111 FOR him to 142 AGAINST him. Under the parliamentary system, that means that the parliament must be dissolved and an election held to choose a NEW parliament. The new election must be held within 60 days of the no-confidence vote, which will be about April 8. TN THE Canadian campaign that will intervene between now and then, the big issue will be pro-Americanism vs. anti-Americanism. That is un fortunate. But it is at least understandable. Back in our early days as an independent nation, "twist ing the lion's tail" - meaning whooping it up against Eng land - was a popular cam paign issue. In the Canadian election that is coming up, Premier Diefenbaker will sub stitute pulling the eagle's tail feathers for twisting the lion's tail. It is unfortunate, but that is about the way it will be. rIEFENBAKER will have " an argument that will have considerable weight. In Oregon - and especially down here in southern Oregon - we have great respect for our big neighbor California. We LIKE our neighbors. The California market is a big asset, and we appreciate it. But - Suppose California under took to tell us what we ought to do and what we ought NOT to do. Suppose it got into an election. You know what we would do.

It is strange that this com bination is supposed to pro vide us with all the advan tages of educating our chil dren. One item that interested me in the large ad was that it would avoid costly transpor tation of children from one district to another. According to a question asked a member of the Medford school board, in all probability the same number of buses now used would be needed. Naturally, if the districts were combined, the transportation would be within one district, costly or otherwise. I also wonder how taxes could help but be increased, when there is no secret that Phoenix has the lowest mill age rate in Jackson county outside of Pinehurst. If we combine with Medford, with out considering a building program there, it will increase our taxes $3.80 per (1,000 of assessed valuation. How can it provide us with better teaching when Phoenix has low teacher ratio; and, also, provides a librarian for each elementary school, which we have been told is not done in Medford elementary schools. This program will not in crease efficiency in the dis trict but will most certainly take all control of District 4 schools into Medford where they will in all probability have no membership on the school board, as new there is only one member on the Medford school board residing outside of the Medford city limits. The Medford school board has said that they have no interest in keeping the 4-H program active. The 4-H and Big California's eye. The temptation in Canada will be to spit in Uncle Sam's eye.

Keeps Going Great different kinds of cars COURTESY CHEVROLET MEDFORD MEDFORD FFA are one of the big inter ests in the Phoenix district. We have had five children who attended Talent and Phoenix schools. Four of them graduated there. One is now doing very well in the Air branch of the Marines ard one is attending Couthern Oregon college and keeping up a GPA of 2.3. They all entered many activities in school, which having attended a larce metroDnliijin hinh school myself, I do not believe tney would have had the op portunity of entering if they had attended a large school. I would get the feeling of a pawn in a chess game being pushed around to someone else's advantage after reading the very expensive advertise ment in last night's (2-8-1963) Medford Mail Tribune even if I hadn't been informed that the remonstrance petitions had been carried by the Mes sieurs Vandergrift, Leever, Mclntyre, Whalen and Wim berley and Mrs. Gammil. It certainly looks like the consolidation of the two dis tricts is to the firivamapa nf some one, but I don't think it's the people in District 4 or to their children. Mrs. Ray Burnelte, Route 1, Box 388, Talent, Ore. Reiterates Suggestion To the Editor: Recently the Jackson county court an nounced its intention of build ing a baseball stadium suit able for the use of Junior Legion baseball, at an ap proximate cost of $30,000. This is very commendable, but only a very short step in the right direction. A group desiring a multi use stadium, baseball, foot ball, conventions, etc., ap proached the county court about two years ago before the freeway construction was started. They proposed a large con crete construction, permanent type stadium capable of use by professional baseball, Jun ior Legion baseball, intercol legiate and professional foot ball, large conventions, etc. It was pointed out with archi tectural drawings and cost jjrf j 1.1.1 ""JuJJfsBIPJKJPjJi IMP ALA Jt-Door 6-Pa$sengcr BEL AIR l-Door 6-Passenger CHEVY II CHEVY II CHEVY i at your Chevrolet dealer's Showroom PHONE 7726115 MAIL TRIBUNE. MEOFORD. estimates that this need not all be built at one time, but that the estimated $15,000 which freeway contractors would pay for fill dirt from the stadium excavation would pay the cost of turf drainage. As more money became available and the need pre sented itself, more parking area could be surfaced, more seats added, etc. The county court did not refuse to build the muLi-use stadium, but said that before any stadium could be built, a vote of the people was neces sary. There was no attempt to put this on the ballot, and all attempts by the multi-use stadium group to get some action were met by procrasti nation. During this period agents of the Northwest Class B base ball league made several trips to Medford at their own ex pense to discuss professional baseball here. And, inciden tally, the day the coun'y court announced their small sta dium plans, a representative of the National Association of Minor Leagues, of Columbus, Ohio, was in Medford to dis cuss a Class B baseball fran chise to be operated by the San Francisco Giants. No representative of the multi-purpose group was noti fied of, or invited to, the meeting when the small sta dium was decided upon and announcement made. The small stadium would not be fireproof, and fire in surance liability insurance and upkeep would be much higher than on the multi-purpose stadium. The announcement stated that the county court would not build the multi-purpose stadium without a vote of the people, but would build the small stadium because that was what the people wanted. How do they know this is what the people want? May I reiterate tl.i large stadium group's suggestion that a professional research group be hired to determine the community's needs in a stadium, type of construction, location, seating and other im portant factors?

The conferences center around student appraisal of their high school preparation for college and reports on their progress and problems at OSU. Conference findings and ob servations during the past 10 years have prompted many significant changes and im provements in both the OSU orientation programs for new students and in high school programs, Dallas Norton. OSU director of admissions, observed. Oregon Stute started the interviews in 1952 to help spot and correct weaknesses in its orientation programs for new students, and to help high schools evaluate their college preparatory programs.
