What It Drastic changes in life of this nation some of which are of deep significance and some of which are frightening are occurring at an increasing rate. We had best all be fully aware of them, for if we do not adjust to them or take steps to' see the changes go in the proper direction we are, as a nation, going to be in deep trouble. It has always been our belief that mankind, the social animal, has at least the potential in telligence and ability to own destiny, cut if this is to be if we are to do more than drift in the tides of economic and social change it's high time we start doing some deep thinking about where we are going, why, and what to do about it. T"HIS has always been an expansionist economy, based in large part' on economic freedom reg ulated only in the public interest. But of late years, for whatever the reason, our rate of growth has slowed and slowed again, except when given the artificial stimulation of a war, cold or hot. One economist, Paul McCracken of the Uni versity of Michigan, points to certain danger sig nals, including a proportionate 50 per cent de crease in the number of patents being applied for today, and a similar of new small business enterprises over the past four decades. Mourning over the sins and shortcomings of the younger generation has always been a pas time of the older. Yet can it successfully be denied that the standards of work and initiative and courage and industriousness of the younger generation leaves something to be desired? XE HAVE always prided ourselves on being ""a moral nation. Yet where is the morality in denying to nearly one-fifth of our citizens equal opportunity for success and self-fulfilment solely because of race or color? Where is the morality tion and fortune to entertainers far in excess of that we accord to the men we entrust with our very destinies? Where is the morality of spending billions for weapons of mass annihilation, yet quibbling over a minuscule fraction of that to improve the education and opportunity of our young people?

Where is the morality in allowing a major traction ot our population to live in filth and degredation, in hunger and sickness, in ignorance and poverty? INHERE is the know-how and intelligence of " which we boast when we permit 6 out of every 100 of our working force to wait in frus trating, crime-breeding idleness, for lack of work or for lack of the ability to work? Where is the Christian humility to which so many of us pay lip-service when we cut short the lives of the poor, deformed, ugly souls who never had any real chance perous murderers and other predators to go free, or at worst sweat out a short term in confine ment? Whore, most of all, ing of brotherhood of which all great religions speak, and which the morality of the golden rule demands, and which, if truly felt, would wipe out these injustices and social stupidities overnight? A LL, of course, is not black. The outlook is not wholly bleak and forbidding. There are rays of hope and light around. But sometimes, on a gray day, it seems they are so few and far between that optimism flees, and only a barren pessimism for the nation and the race remains.

The Cathedral To the Editor: Occasionally, a great idea appears on the horizon, seemingly to emerge from the sea like a Debussy cathedral. And if it Is strong enough, it will fight the tide and not sink back Into tne waters, but will remain there in reality, with the sun shin ing on it, for centuries. Its stained glass windows, Its spire, tolling bells and echo ing organ, may perhaps bring hope to those who thought there was no hope. Recently, an idea came alive for a program of music theraov at Oreson State Hos pital, an idea that would lead in part to the neanng oi me mentally ill, bringing creativ ity and beauty into the lives of those who might be passing Into an otherwise vegetable existence. The enduring strength of this idea emerges from the fact that because there is greatness in music, and good music Is great, the program Itself can be built on maananimity and human understanding. Ibis is remark able, because the mental pa' tient is desperately searching to be in proximity of tnese elements; or to gain them back again for himself - even tually to reflect them, and be in harmony with positive liv ing. More concretely, in unique facets of music there is also gentle discipline and organization. Exhilaration is present for one working in this field to comprehend the common bond that exists when a hospital group spontaneously sings to gether "Rock of Ages" or "America, the Beautiful." Dis cerning the pathos in the mu sic of a patient having knowl edge of the piano who might play the "Moonlight bonata or some other classic, is an experiment in depth. Recognition by the therapist of any minute spark of cre- tlvlty Is a little walk wiin God, particularly when he watches It evolve into an Integral part of the patient s life: when he sees that the ordeal for the patient of wak ing up In the morning to face another day is not quite "so" bad anymore, for the sun is shining through the windows again and this new Individual has found Identity. Then, finally, letting this sudden interest be for the individual a gracious handshake with the community - a stepping stone in his transition to a better life.

Fry lecture and postu late on the probabilities of human life on other planets. Mr. Fry pointed out that the Old Testament Bible men- Honed 18 places where the earth had been visited by outer-spacemen in ancient rec ords of the prophets. He also stated that our astronauts were only going into inner space-not outer-space as here tofore called. Our Impression of the speaker in brief is. Mr. Fry Is endowed with a most vivid imagination, great ambition and boundless energy, likes traveling and enjoys the great outdoors, and is a tireless soul in probing the mysteries of the universe. We are happy to have at tended the discourse. Bert Kissinger, 322 South Riverside ave., Medford Tax Thoughts To the Editor: This letter has gone to the Ways and Means Committee, State leg islature. Salem, Ore.: MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, Gentlemen: Mr. Frank Bash, president, Oregon School Boards association, and member of the board of School District 549C, has urged residents of this area to write you in regard to property tax as regards school support. I have read many sugges tions for solving this problem but find none that seem to contain the answer. In view ing this, I feel that one should consider thewhole system of education from top to bottom. While I can see little to be done to relieve the situation at the local level itself, I do think a few changes here would have a considerable ef fect at the higher levels, and, with this in mind, may I sug gest a few changes. I would propose to stiffen the requirements for promo tion below high school gradu ation and abolish the practice of passing pupils on "condi tion" below high school level, as is now practiced. This would weed out the dead wood, lighten the burden of teachers without harm to the pupil. It further would estab lish a better quality of stu dents going on to college by removing those who seek higher schooling because it is the thing to do and give more opportunity to those who are desirous of such instruction and are capable of absorbing it to a useful degree. One is only kidding them selves when they think all pupils will make use of higher learning or are capable of acquiring it and applying in later life. This is evidenced by the number of college graduates In common labor. While I expect much opposi tion to this thought, I still sec no point in educating any and all in order to find the few. Further thoughts on reduc ing the burden of property tax, that include the increas ing of income tax and apply ing a sales tax, seem to offer little relief due to the fact property owners have incomes and would also purchase ar ticles coming under sales tax. therefore it would be like taking out of this pocket in stead of that pocket, but Ink Ing it anyway. Gentlemen, this seems in line with the thinking of the man who wished to cut his dog's tail off but resolved to cut off one inch at a time so it would not hurt the dog so much. In summation, I feel that a great deal can be accomplish ed by economizing, stream lining and bringing Into line the more realistic and drop ping unnecessary. C R. Burrill 834i Cherry st. Central Point, Ore. Epilepsy To the Editor: Epilepsy is a disorder of the nervous sys tem which can be treated and controlled. According to medi cal authorities, some miscon ceptions have been sanctified by law and social attitudes. Eight states deny epileptics the right to marry. Many col leges and universities and some public schools do not i admit epileptics t . ii. arc usually of high intent- gencc. and the chances of an epileptic having a child with this disorder arc only about 1 in 40.1 Doctors know how to de termine who has epilepsy, how to treat and control it. But they do not yet know how to cure it. It may be due to head injury. Infection, tu mor. It is not known what precipitates seizures, although emotional tension or over fatigue can sometimes trigger them. i.

THALER United Press International London - (LTD - Red China is looking beyond the Red bloc for economic supplies, apparently to free herself from dependance on Soviet Russia. This intention has been spotlighted by the current vis it to Britain of Red China's vice minister of foreign trade, Lu Hsuchang, who is touring British industries in search of machinery, chemicals and even planes. This is a considerable change from the days when Russia sent generous supplies to her Communist ally as well as thousands of experts to build factories and advise Pe king on a variety of industrial problems. Russian supplies have dried up in the wake of the ideo logical conflict between the two Communist giants and the experts have been with drawn or have been told to go. Coupled with bad harvests leptics are subject to grand mal seizures. The person usually loses consciousness and falls, body muscles tight en, head and limbs jerk vio lently. Petit mal seizures usually occur in childhood. It is a brief loss of consciousness. About one third of adult epi leptics have psychomotor seizures. During an attack, the victim behaves oddly. He may throw things or just stare, mumble or pick at his clothing. He may also become mentally disturbed. Because no two people re spond to drugs in exactly the same way, it may require sev eral months, testing various combinations, before phy sicians determine the right regiment for each case. Various organizations raise funds to sponsor research. If you are unfamiliar with any group that approaches you, it is a good idea, as with any charitable organization you do not know, to check first with the local Chamber of Com merce or Belter Business Bureau, the National Epilepsy League, 203 North Wabash ave., Chicago 1, 111., or the United Epilepsy Association, 113 West 57th St., New York 19, N.Y.

Happy Homes To the Editor: Medford cit izens have an opportunity coming up that could mean a great deal to their families Experts in the field of child guidance, steeped with infor mation, encouragement, en thusiasm and experience. have consented to hold dis cussions all day Saturday at the First Methodist Church March 30. It will be the First Southern Oregon Family Life Conference held here. Almost everybody goes whining their life away, com plaining about their lot, but not too many really do any thing to help. There are a few, though, that will try any thing once. The committee on Family Life Conference is working diligently to see if people will break down and come to a conference that could enhance family values and have amazing results. If even one question that was bothering you could be an swered, think of the results. Less tension, less worry, more happiness, more fun as a fam ily. Simple. Our attitudes to ward life and our children can cither make or break us. We arc greatly honored that our" local speakers were so kind and quick to respond to our need of educated and experienced leaders. It will indeed be a treat to hear ideas from Dr. Malcolm Ham mond of Ashland, Dr. Alexan der Foley of Medford. Miss Shumway of Medford. the Rev. C.

Family Life Conference Route 3 Box 64 Medford 4 (773-7154) and ill-fated economic exper iments in China, the Russian aid-freeze has virtually para lyzed a sizeable number of major industrial development projects, according to reliable information reaching here. , The re orientation thus en forced on Peking's ambitious leap-forward planners also extends to all appearances to. the field of external trade. Peking swallowed its pride when it had to look to the West - Canada and Australia for wheat supplies in the past year or two to ease the country's famine conditions. Now that the harvest has improved, Red China's leader ship is looking for industrial supplies, again outside- the Red bloc, thus indicating they don't expect much help from Russia for some time to come. But they have little to of fer in exchange and are os tensibly short of foreign cur rency to pay for coveted sup plies. Furthermore, the range of goods which they can buy in the West is also limited, by the security embargo which prevents NATO allies from exporting strategic materials behind the Iron and Bamboo curtains. Experts in London believe the current Chinese sound ings in Britain are in them selves a telling indication that Peking does not expect Sino Soviet relations to return to what they used to be. Nor apparently does Peking want to revert to total dependance on Russia and face the risks which such policy involves. Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris fc Field Enterprises, Inc. COMMUNICATION If large organizations of various sorts would spend less money on publicity promo tion, and "public image," and transfer these funds to COM MUNICATION with the public and with their own employ ees they might find some startling results in profits and a n n H will ' j Flying back Barrl last month, more than a hundred passen gers on our flight were detain ed a half - hour at the baggage counter when our bags mys teriously refused to show up. The wait itself was not so terrible - but the attitude of the airline personnel made enemies by the score. Nobody would tell us a thing; we stood around like refugees waiting for a visa from a hos tile government. At the present lime, the airlines are about as bad as any group in communicat ing with the public; but other groups are not far be hind. It seems pointless for the airlines to spend mil lions in wooing travelers and then to create so much ill will by refusing to give information. To a wailing person, any explanation is belter than none; he would rather be lied to (politely) than rebuffed or ignored. Take the matter of call ing for information on de parting f 1 i g h t s. I always call 20 minutes before I am about to leave for the air port; invariably I am told that the flight will leave on time. Arriving at the air port, I learn that there will be a delay, sometimes an hour or more. In most cases, this was already known by the time I made my call; but noth ing was said. In fact, on occasion I have gone to a telephone booth at the air port (having been told in person that my flight would be late) and called the airline-only to be told over the phone that the flight was leaving on time. Whether this is stupidity, venality or bureaucracy, the ugly fact remains that many organizations land I cite the airlines only because I use them so much) have little or no ability to communicate, not only with their customers, but with their personnel as well. People want to know l where Uicy stand, and when no one will tell them, morale falls apart disastrously. In this depersonalized, au tomatic age. the Individual perpetually feels a threat to his identity and his integrity as a person. And the "public image'' of an institution - to which so much attention and money are devoted - can be no better than the manner in which it communicates, hon estly, swiftly and unequivo cally, with the people who work for It and with the peo ple who make its survjjal posible. fare Today & Tomorrow By Walter (ct 1963. The THE CLAY REPORT The Clay Report on foreign aid deals with an immense subject in a few pages. For that reason alone it will not furnisn '.4Clt!Na 'Public, which ZZ, f members of X Congress, with serious reap- Llppmaun praisai wnicn has become so necessary. The report mentions most of the questions which have to be asked, but what it gives are its answers, and not the facts and the reasoning by which its conclusions were reached. As a result, the or dinary reader receives little more than a bundle of decla rations as to what ought and ought not to be done. He gets little help toward an enlight ened debate. There is an explanation for this. The committee, which consists of 10 eminent men, was appointed last December "to advise the President, the secretary of state, and sec retary of defense and the ad ministrator of the Agency for International Development." Quite evidently, that is exact ly what it has done, and done, it appears, with profit to the administration. The report is not really a public document meant to clarify a public dis cussion. It is, so to speak, an inter-office memorandum for the insiders of the administra tion and is no doubt highly significant and intelligible to those who have taken part in the conferences which are not reported in the report. BECAUSE it is the kind of document it is, it will, I am afraid, provoke unfortu nate reactions abroad. It is peppered with criticism which, because it is anony mous and riot specific, could apply to some or all of the recipients of foreign aid. No country would be able to tell whether it is or is not being criticized. Furthermore the report contains a sweep ing critisism of all our allies, including Canada, for what they do or do not do in for eign aid. I am sure that this was not the intention. But I do not think it is merely charitable to say that the committee was so intensely concerned with advising the administration insiders that it did not real ize what its report would sound like to the vast world of the outsiders. It ihe report was to be a A public document, and of course it had to be, it should not have declared only its conclusions. It should have argued them persuasively. In my view, this was entirely practicable since the main theme is sound. Thus, it is quite true that "we are trying to do too much for too many too soon, that we are overextended in re sources and undercompensa ted in results, and that no end of foreign aid is either ir sight or in mind." It follows nglitly enough, that we should not try to give aid to the 9o countries and terri tories which are now receiv ing-it, and that we should, in stead, focus our aid so that it is enough to do the job in key countries. We must find a way to stop diluting and diffusing it all over the globe Let the bridges we have to build be fewer, but let all of them cross the river. The committee is q u i t e right, I believe, in advising the administration to let ex- colonial Africa depend chief ly on Europe for aid. And if 1 read between the lines cor rectly, it is asking the ad ministration to concentrate aid for Asia, apart from the military subsidies, on India and Pakistan. w HEN it comes to Latin rica, the report shows little evidence of a serious knowledge of the ac tual problem of inducing the Latin peoples to emerge from their primitive past into the modern age. In fact, there is a considerable ideological confusion in that the report seems to say that the only alternative to communism is the American form of private enterprise. That is not true. There are many forms of a mixed economy - some of them very successful In Europe - which are quite different both from Soviet communism and Amer ican capitalism. Whether we like it or not. most Latin - American coun tries are pointed toward one form or another of a mixed economy, and we should not give them the impression that we are incapable of under standing why they are point ing that way. Lippmann Washington Post I FEEL I must say, also, that the report itself exempli fies one of the principal rea sons why, though since 1946 this country has spent some $100 billion in foreign aid, it is so much disliked in so many places. A persistent theme is that we should be giving and withholding favors, which mean so much in human terms, in our own interest. There is in this an assumption of superiority which is abra sive in the kind of world we are living in - for the most part very poor and for tha most part of some other color than white. With our great wealth and power, there should go hu mility, not pride. Thirty years ago, this country had not only the respect and the trust, but also the affection of the underdeveloped world. Yet it had no foreign aid program. Why? Because 30 years ago, the country was struggling with its own desperate eco nomic problems and with the risirjg menace of fascism. Be cause we had grave problems of our own, we were not proud and self-satisfied, and we gave the effect of being in the same boat with the rest of mankind. That was when we had friends all over the world. We shall not have them again until this country be comes possessed once again. it surely will when the political seasons change, in the high enterprise of mak ing a good society. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From New York: The average American will work two hours and 21 min utes out of each eight hour working day to PAY HIS TAXES this year, according to Tax Foundation Inc., a pri v a t e research organization. This, it says, is two minutes more than was required in 1962. The Tax Foundation adds that by comparison it will re quire, an hour and 24 minutes of work to meet housing and household operations costs, and an hour to pay for food and tobacco. VVHICH is to say: ' If you are an average working man, it will lake you only 25 minutes longer to earn the money to pay for all your housing and household operations costs and all your food and your tobacco than it will take you to earn the money with which to PAY YOUR TAXES. ET'S put it this way: " You will go to work, presumbably at 8 o'clock in the morning. It will take you two hours and 21 minutes to earn the money with which to pay your taxes. That will carry you up to 10:21 a.m., at which hour you will have your taxes paid. It will then take you an hour and 24 minutes to earn the money with which to pay your housing and household operations costs. That will bring you up to 11:45 a.m., at which time you will presum ably knock off for lunch. When you knock off for lunch, you won't be even with the world. You still have to earn the money with which to pay for your food and to bacco. A NYWAY, you go to lunch. Presumably you'll knock off for an hour. So, when you get back on the job, it will be 12:45 p.m. It will then take you an hour and 22 minutes more to pay for your food and tobacco. At that time, you'll be even with the world, so far as taxes, housing and household oper ations costs and your food and tobacco are concerned. AND- It will be seven minutes after 2 o'clock in the after noon. You'll have from then on to FIVE O'CLOCK to earn the money with which to pay for all the rest of the things you want to make life pleas ant and agreeable - including such things as going out to dinner and a show. AND Meeting your car payments and such other incidentals. The big thing you're apt to remember out of all this is if you didn't have to dig up so much in the way of taxes you'd have more left for the good things of life that are what we all work for. ONE more thought is apt to enter your mind. It is this: If our old Uncle Sam weren't such a frightfully ex travagant old character, we'd have more left for these good things of life.
