Flyers Protest In line with the above, people simply have no way of knowing how bad our pollution situation has become. But those who fly know. On a number of occasions we have come down in a plane from the cool green hills to the north of the valley, only to see the entire Bear Creek drainage covered with a dense pall of smoke, cutting visibility to a point where an ap proach lo tnc airport actually became difficult. AN EDITORIAL in a recent issue of The North '"Vvcst Flyer had this to sav. in part: "... Gone arc the days of unlimited visibilty, of being able to see a hundred miles through air so clear it .sparkled. In its place we now find the trade mark of our advancing civilization, industrial pollution. "From the ground we can still look skyward and rejoice in the blue sky above, but step into an airplane and gel fifty feel above the ground, and you wonder where the world went. This points up the fact that the citizen, the non-flyer, does not realize the extent of air pollution present today. Personally, I believe that we flyers owe II lo our neighbors to publicize this hit of information . . . 'Right now, today, we arc polluting our air, our water, and our land at a rate never before equalled In the history of man.

Engleson's letter In M.T. 1-31-63 re "Detroit Fluoridation," 1 ask. why did he not tell the rest of the story? Here is the rest of the story. After 12 years of con stant pressure by the Public Health Service and the De troit District Dental Society, the Detroit city council voted in fluoridation and is resisting putting the issue to a vote of the people. J. G. Molner, city health commissioner, submitted to the Detroit city council a re port by a group of Wayne university professors. They explained why fluoridation of Detroit s water supplies is un desirable and recommended administration of fluoride to individuals. Sixty suburbs have long term contracts with Detroit for pure potable water. One (Pontiac) has an ordinance which makes it illegal for De troit to add fluoride to their drinking water. Many of the suburbs do not want fluori dated water and sent tele grams of protest before De troit city council acted. Detroit's water chief, G. J. Remus, warned the city coun cil not to take action' which might precipitate law suits. A small segment of the mem bership of Wayne and Oak land County Medical societies was canvassed and 85 mem bers in good standing of the respective medical societies signed a resolution opposing fluoridation for Detroit and many wrote letters of protest. A copy of the resolution can be seen at Healthway Food Store, 128 North Bartlctt. The American Denial asso ciation has recently declared it will initiate a stepped up program to promote fluorida tion and this it is now doing under the guise of "education al and public health matters relevant to dentistry." I have before me a copy of 19H3 Public Health Service Budget, ami., $1.16:1,888,000 (taxpayer's money). Earmark ed for grants: S410.652.000. Out of this for "Personal Training Program'1 (for pro motion of fluoridation, etc.) $172,914,000. Last November the voters in Medford defeated fluorida tion 2 to 1. This was the second defeat here and al ready the promoters of fluori dation arc preparing for a comeback and the opponents should be doing likewise if they do not want fluorides in their water. The promoters of fluorida tion are determined, arc ex tremely well organized and have unlimited funds (taxpay er's money) with which to work. One political strategy for promotrrs of issues which the people have, by vote, re jeeted is to repeatedly bring up those issues until, as often the case, they arc passed and become law, Hcou-mbcr "Daylight Saving Time"? Mr. Voter and taxpayer, arc you going to let them do the same with fluoridation? It's up to you. Material for t h e above letter is from "The Na. tional Fluoridation News," 930 Grand Blvd..

Medford Brothers' Keepers To the Editor: My heartfelt sympathy gors n't to the anonymous (name on file) au thor of iart Friday's letter dealing with unemployed young women who recently graduated from high school, but cannot obtain employ ment in stores, etc., because MLDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON of the elderly and less elderly matrons who work there, in most cases merely to escape boredom at home or to supple ment the family's income with luxuries. I feel for these girls "whose only alternative is to gel' mar ried" - assuming of course that it is an alternative, since so many young bachelors would be eligible except that they are also unemployed and for the same or similar rea sons. To wit, those house wives and men called "moon lighters" are literally taking the bread out of the mouths of people in need of livli hood, and in some instances from their dependents, who must therefore appeal to pub lic and private charity rolls. 'Moonlighters," I am told, arc men who hold two jobs at once because only one, though providing a good in come, is too easy and docs not consume enough of their time or energies nor satiate their greed. Dear friend, this (also anonymous) author has found that a small cry in the wilder ness, like yours and mine, is not enough to uproot the vest ed interests from their places of luxury, case, and privilege nor from their places with all four feet in the pig trough; nor is it enough to waken others to join a worthy cause and start a crusade against in justice; that takes a television chain br a newspaper syndi cate. No one, I am told, can guarantee employment to working people; it is up to them to "find" it. Yet many business men are guaranteed profits. This is a free econ omy, I am told, where em ployers are "free" to hire whomever they please, and there arc many to pick from, like apples from a basket; yet mos-t working people arc not "free" to choose their employers, or even to be hired at all, as there are not enough jobs to go around. Many will qualify this con dition by saying that unem ployed men and women are 1 n e x p crienced, unsuited by personality, education, and o l h e rwisc undcrsirablc for jobs. Be this true or false, and it is sometimes true, yet it is always wrong when someone who doesn't need it gets an income ahead of some one who does. Too often em ployment goes, be it In pri vate business or government to one who is in favor - has "pull" as they say - and no effort is made cither to place the unemployed or to train llicm for jobs which they might fill. For this is a free country is il not? Where ev eryone must look out for himself - for himself and his friends that is. which does not necessarily mean his fel lowmen or his fellow coun trymen in need. For who among us today is his broth er's keeper? (Name on File), Ashland. Ore.

Early Day Phoenix To the Editor: The Mail Tribune of Feb. 24 carried an'i excellent feature page on early day post offices of Jack son county. Mr3. Eve Hamil ton who wrote the article had evidently done a lot of re search on the subject. Being postmaster at Phoenix, 1 was extremely interested in the article. As a native of Phoenix, I was als-o interested in a com munication to the Editor on Feb. 28 writcn by Mrs. Vir ginia Card of Jacksonville pertaining to the Taylor fam ily and the "Preachers Train" of 1853. My grandparents and my father, who was one year old at the time, also came from Illinois in 1853 and first settled in the Willamette val ley before coming to the Phoenix area in the '60s. Mrs. Card stated in her communication that Stephen Phelps Taylor was the first postmaster at Phoenix and was appointed by Mr. Lin coln in 1862. Mrs. Hamilton's article was correct, according to the information I have had from the National Archives, which states, "A post office was established at Phoenix, Jackson county, Oregon on Jan. 3, 1857, with Samuel H. Miller as postmaster." This would have been five years before Mr. Taylor was ap pointed; perhaps he could have been a successor to Mr. Miller. Phoenix was first settled in the fall of 1851 by Samuel B. Colver, who took up 640 acres in one donation claim. The following summer his brother Hiram arrived, bring ing the families of both and took up another 640 acres adjoining Samuels'. In 1854 the townsite was laid out on Samuel Colver's land. The flour mill was built on land donated by Colvers by Mr. S. M. Wait in 1855 and it was across the street from this mill where the first post office was established. It is also said Mr. Miller had a "Phoenix" Insurance sign in his window and that was how the name was chosen for the town. Marie Morton Furry, Box 350, Phoenix. Ore. Chronic Worriers To the Editor: As a natural result of threats and punish ments received in childhood, of warnings and scoldings re peatedly administered, and of conditioned fears learned from others, many of us grow up victims of all sorts of dreads, fears, and anxieties. By the time adulthood is reached we are apt to be afraid of many objects or con ditions that should not arouse fear at all. People who arc particularly sensitive or imag inative are likely to suffer the most from these needless worries. The unfortunate long-time Jewish also have suffered the death penalty. In the frankly atheistic so ciety of the Soviet Union all religions suffer persecutions at varying times and in vary ing degrees. Under the czars, the Jews were marked for special hu miliation, confined to ghettos, stripped of human rights. In Communist Russia, with the coming of the independ ent state of Israel, they came in for suspicion of divided loyalties. A document submitted to the United Nations by the In ternational Confederation of Free Trade Unions noted a marked decline of Jewish participation in Soviet public life. The document charged that Jews suffer from "consistent discrimination" in the iields Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris fc Field Enterprises. Inc. PERSONAL PREJUDICES Past a certain age, a "gay dog" is simply a man who has permanently tied a tin can to his own tail. In the United States, at least, most legislation of a "moral" nature seems to be founded on the fantasies of spinsters of both sexes. The best way to plot against the increasing success of an aggressive, egregious, publicity-seeking personality is to form a conspiracy of silence; such cgocentrics welcome at tack and encourage aspersion - what they cannot stand is being calmly and politely ig nored. Reading about the new spring styles from Paris, I was reminded of Wilde's ob servation that "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intoler able that we have to alter it every six months." Frugality is going without something you want, in case you should in the future need something you probably won't want. Friends who conscien tiously keep up a personal correspondence would be tolerable, were it not that they somehow manage to make the rest of us ashamed of ourselves for our lack of similar diligence; there is always a touch of self-satisfaction and self righteous ness in the compulsive letter-answerers. None of us should listen to a man giving a lecture or a sermon on his "philosophy of life" until we know exactly how he treats his wife, his children, his neighbors, his friends, his subordinatcs-and his enemies. For a brief and honest military biography, nothing can beat the line of Charles Henry Smith, who wrote after the Civil Wan "I join ed the army, and succeeded in killing about as many of the enemy as they of me." Those who think it a great impiety to speak ill of the dead usually have no such inhibitions about the living; what a curious superstition to have more regard for a corpse than for a creature still capable of being wounded. Speaking of wounds; those persons who try too desperately to protect them selves from hurts are in the long run more vulnerable to injury; it is the hand that has developed callouses that slides more easily down the escape rope in an emergency. Listening to a contentious woman arguing with a store manager the other day, I re called Oliver Hcrford's deft analysis: "If some people got their rights they would com plain of being deprived of their wrongs." the subtle effects upon the whole organism are obviously multiplied. Sympathy, born of under standing and a warm imagi nation, is associated with all actions that aim to help the sick, the unfortunate. The world would be im measurably poorer had it not been for the many men and women who have been acti vated by warm human sympa thies and by love for' their fellow men. (Name on file) Medford.

The report said Jews "have virtually disappeared" from jobs- of major responsibility in the diplomatic service and the army. It said the propor tion of Jews in higher educa tion, science and the profes sions is declining steadily. Moscow correspondents were surprised by Khrush chev's sensitivity to the charge of anti-Semitism and the vehemence with which he replied. They also were surprised by its wide distribution over Moscow radio and through the newspaper Izvestia. The motives remain a Khrushchev secret. Matter of Fact (c) New York Herald WHOSE SIDE IS TIME ON? Rome - Of all the Euro peans, the Italians have re acted most sharply to Gen. de Gaul le s bold attempt to transform the. European Common Mar ket into an e x c 1 u sive, p r otectionist E u r o pe, in spired by a new "contin e n tal nation Alsnp alism" and led, it goes with out saying, by Charles de Gaulle himself. In this Italian reaction, there are three points to note. First of all, the Italian government leaders from President Segni and Prime Minister Fanfani down to the able permanent officials in the ministries, are complete ly united in their distaste for the Gaullist conception of Eu rope. ' In the business and indus trial communities, however, support for de Gaulle is al ready discernible. And this pro-de Gaulle tendency may grow importantly, especially if it is aided by clumsy American diplomacy. SECONDLY, there Is a real divergence of judgment about the gravity of the prob lem. One school, headed by the scholarly President Segni, inclines to the view that Gen. de Gaulle cannot constitute a major problem, because he lacks the economic and power potential to bend the rest of Europe to his will. The other school, headed by tough little PrimeMinister Fanfani, thinks de Gaulle will take a lot of stopping. Third and most important, even those who are most fiery in their resistance to the at tempted Gaullist transforma tion of Europe, are ready to admit that Italy may not be able to halt the transforma tion alone, or even in partner ship with Belgium and Hol land. Prime Minister Fanfani is reported to have summed up that "as long as the Ger mans go along with de Gaulle, he will get his way in the end." The Italians, it must also be noted, are just now emerging from prolonged, total preoc cupation with their own af fairs, which was imposed by Italy's immensely difficult postwar internal problems. Italy's powerful and industrial and economic forward surge has only just brought the Ital ian leaders to the stage of wishing to play a larger role in Europe. IN PART, this recent, as yet hesitant entrance upon a larger role explains the feel ing conveyed in Prime Min ister Fanfani's remark about the power of the Franco-German partnership. Combined with this feeling, there is a further Italian feeling that Washington has not yet given "Sled to give you my opinion, I'm for disarmament, tha Common Market, foreign aid, federel aid lo education. Medicare, the U.N. Oh. yes. and aid to teachers who get fired for expressing their opinions!" Religion No secret is the fact that one of the greatest Soviet failures has been the failura to stamp out religion. Early this year Western sympathies were stirred by the story of 32 peasants who trekked 2,000 miles from Si beria to the American em bassy, seeking escape and the right to follow their own re ligion. Radio Liberty recently lold of another religious group hidden so deeply in the Si berian wilderness that they learned of the end of World War II only five years later. Aerial reconnaissance found them out and secret police brought them back. By Joseph Alsop Tribune Syndicate a strong lead, despite the cru cial American economic and strategic interest in the choice de Gaulle is forcing upon Europe. The result is a situation that is far from clear cut. The Italian leaders know what they want to do, but are not as yet agreed about how to do it, unless by some miracle Chancellor Konrad Adenauer stops working hand-in-glove with his French partner. The situation's fuzziness is revealed by the simple fact that the Italian government has not as yet made up its mind how to approach the second round of negotiations at Brussels on a common agri cultural policy for the Europe of the Six. These talks are of ficially scheduled to open on April 1. VET it is still not decided whether to ask for a two or three months' delay in these talks, on the ground that Italy cannot effectively par ticipate until after the spring election. That is the course the Italians are inclined to adopt, yet this inclination is plainly balanced by a fear of accusations of "obstruction ism" like those that followed the temporary Italian veto on the African states' desiring as sociation with the Common Market. The second round of nego tiations for a common agricul tural policy of the Europe o the Six, in turn, establishes a sort of timetable of great po tential significance. Both France's agricultural interests and Gen. de Gaulle's scheme for the transformation of Eu rope demand the adoption of a sternly exclusive and restric tionist common agricultural policy, such as de Gaulle him self outlined in his famous press conference. German agricultural inter ests also call for a European wheat price kept at an arti ficially high level. Such a wheat price, while in some ways injurious to French ag riculture, will nonetheless im pose the kind of exclusive and restrictionist approach that da Gaulle desires. IHUS Gen. de Gaulle has - the means, if he chooses to use them, to reward the Germans for their cooperation with him. If the European Common Market therefore adopts a highly exclusive ag ricultural policy, it will be a long first step in the direction de Gaulle desires Europe lo take. Such a European first step on the part of the Gaullist ward will not only impose a heavy additional burden on t h e already unsatisfactory American balance o f pay ments. It will also set a restriction ist pattern which will surely affect the European-American trade negotiations later on. In short, it is not at all certain that time is not on de Gaulle's side as things now stand.
