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..

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. We would spit in

To the Editor: Goodness
sakes it certainly looks like
some one with more money
than most of us has some rea
son for wanting to consolidate
the Phoenix Talent School
District 4 and Medford School
District 549C.
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

temptation in Canada will be
to spit in Uncle Sam's eye.

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.

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

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

Grants Pass School
Studies Salaries
Grants Pass - The District
7 city school board has taken
under advisement a plan for
three major changes in the
administration of school ath
letic programs.
The changes include adop
tion of a coaches' salary
schedule similar to that of
the Medford school system;
the limiting of each coach to
two sports during the school
year; and the conducting of
athletic practice after school
only.
A report recommending
three major changes was pre
sented to the board this week
by Curriculum Director War
ren Cook, who headed a com
mittee on coaches' salaries.
The committee had made a
survey of procedures in South

schools and other leading
