Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer,

for publication is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to

knowledge that if stock (do
mestic or wild) cannot be
bred they go to market, oth
erwise you cannot improve
your herd.
Simple math will prove the
commission right. Put 1000
doe, still having ample game
feed, put 100 bucks in same
area and they will multiply,
approximately double the fol
lowing year. You may kill 100
doe still having ample game
and breeding stock. But if
you take the same fenced area
and same amount of deer -
Thanks
To the Editor: I wish to
express my thanks to the
Tribune as well as to the
many people attending our
first organizational meeting
of the Rogue Valley Aquari
um Society, held in my home
in Central Point Sunday,
March 24.
Too, for the wonderful co
operation shown us by the
local chapter of the Central
Point Jaycees, Gay Hallett.
And Warren Hull, of the
American Legion Post, in an
swering our call for the chairs
we so badly needed.

Commission It Right
To the Editor: This is a let
ter written in good faith con
cerning the Oregon State
Game commission and some
of the so-called "sportsmen"
and their clubs. These clubs
and sportsmen are continually
knocking the commission and
the well known doe season,
claiming this is the reason
for deer shortage. In the first
place states back east have
had success on the same type
of method and control. In the
second place,-15 or 20 years
ago we had approximately
one-third the human popula
tion that we have today.
The migrating deer will not
inhabit the area if there is
not sufficient wild life feed.
TTiis brings up another sore
point-the so-called free stock
range. This sure does cut
down on the deer feed, which
'15 or 20 years ago was not
needed by ranchers. I know
of acres and acres of govern
ment land that now feed cat
tle and sheep until there is
very little food left for deer.
Getting back to the old
gripers (sportsmen clubs). One
buck is good for 20 doe per
season. One doe is good for
only one buck in season, but
if she doesn't get that buck
she is drag. It is common
kill 100 bucks - what do you
have? a depleting herd. -
My hat is off to the game
commission in this respect.
I suggest the sportsmen and
their clubs clean their own
back yard and in their own
areas.

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF-
ONCE UPON A TIME there was a college professor who
was considered the world's greatest authority on fish.
He knew the name of every species of fish, probably, in all
tne world, unlortunately,
he could NOT remember
the names of the boys in
his classes.
Aware that he was
winning the reputation
of an eccentric, he vowed
one fall to memorize the
name of every newly
registered freshman. It
was a project, however,
he soon had to abandon.
For he discovered that
every time he remem
bered the name of a
freshman, he forgot the
name of a fish!
The owner of a spanking new pleasure boat was not averse to
female companionship on his moonlight cruises. The way he'd
lure a debutante aboard was to assure her, "You'll be crazy about
my new boat Incidentally, I wonder if you know that I named
it after you."
No girl could resist a pitch like that! It was only when she
saw the boat tied up at the dock that she realized she had been
had. The letters on the stern read "AFTER YOU."
. An avant-garde poet had a thin volume of his poems published
some months ago. Asked last week how the book was selling,
he admitted, "Not so good. I haven't been buying so many copies
lately." r

"It was more than significant,
it could be dangerous."
Cellar later identified the
three groups as the Hearst,
Scripps - Howard, and S. I.
Newhouse organizations.
The N.Y. Times had a re
port on this investigation also.
It reported that the investiga
tion states there were 80 com
munities where the only paper
owned the only radio station;
in four communities the sole
radio station, TV station, and
newspaper were all in the
same hands. Cellar noted,
"Only 3 per cent of the cities
in the U.S. had genuinely com
petitive daily newspapers, sep
arately owned and published,
editorially independent, and
that in 1909 there were 689
cities with daily paper com
petition, today only 52."
In the Oregon Journal, a
Newhouse organ, there was a
blackout on this news except
that they quoted Stanford
Smith, American Newspaper
Publishers Association general
manager, as saying, ". . . More
media voices compete for the
attention of the U.S. public
today than ever before."

era have failed to report
events truthfully.
Be that as it may-I believe
it is better that we do not
know the truth if by keeping
us informed, our enemies are
also in the know. We have got
to trust our leaders, and the
closer mouthed they are, the
more our enemies are kept
guessing. If they guess we are
able to be "firstest with the
mostest," perhaps they'll be
less cheerful about hating us.
At least, they can have the
pleasure of hating us quietly.
When they tell untruths
about us, I think we should
disregard it entirely, pretend
not to hear it. Such actions
on their part shows a very
crude, ignorant nature. If they
aren't capable of friendship,
we could follow Christ's meth
od of wiping their dust off our
feet.

Deliver Us
To the Editor: Some dramas
in real life draw upon our
concern for fellow humans so
deeply that efforts to put them
out of mind seem unsym
pathetic, unloving, and cruel.
One of those is the recent epi
sode sprung upon us which
was the tragedy when two
women's lives were nearly
terminated in Medford. Brief
ly the report as heard: Ages
29 and 36; a bottle of wine;
a battle of wine wits; a sui
cide pact; a tragic fact; a
phone call; a hurried police
visit; slashed wrists; blood
flowing; an ambulance; two
hospital entrants; two sobered
women; a sobered public; a
sobered grocery market seller
of wino wine. How sober did
he get? How sober will the
imbibers get? How sober will
the public get?
Were those two women
solely to blame in that near
tragedy? God gave us all in
His word some vital com
mands and facts: "Look not
thou upon the wine when it
is red, ... at the last it Ditetn
like a serpent, and stingeth
like an adder." "Wine is a
mocker, strong drink is rag
ing: and whosover is deceived
thereby is not wise.
We remember, Mr. Editor,
the ads sing of the "virtues"
of wine and beer to make us
"sociable jolly good fellows."
Our highly advertised grocery
markets sell it in their "saloon
department." Sure, it's easy to
get, "looks and tastes good."
If the market that sold this
serpent-bite wine is sorry,
they haven't said so publicly.
We have heard them say,
"People want it, and if I
don't sell it someone else
will." Cain said, "Am I my
brother's keeper?" Another
said, "Who makes himself the
motive for another's fault is
guilty of the same." Can we
conclude that the Ill-gotten
filthy lucre gain from its sale
is a controlling factor?
When, Mr. Editor, will the
public get sober enough to
rise up en masse against the
hydra-headed monstor of in
iquity, the liquor traffic-even
sold in our groceries?
And when will some honor
able principled Christian men
build a sizeable market we
aren't ashamed to enter; or
to send our children for fear
lest they learn to think, from
the presence of the wine and
beer compartment, that it's all
right to drink, get muddled,
agree on suicide pacts, etc.,
etc.? - and the etceteras are
dark.
Deliver us, Lord, from evil.

Omnes Cognosco
To the Editor, and In hie
erudite side kick, the Sage of
Barneburg Hill; he who says
in effect, "Omnes Congnosco,"
"You ignorant denizens of the
Oregon hinterlands, keep si
lent when Caesar speaks."
When Miss Streed cited tes
timony from a former Russian
officer of the NKVD, Mr.
Jenny likened it to calling on
the devil to certify to the char
acter of a Christian saint. Per
haps Mr. J. has not had suf
ficient experience with Chris
tian saints and the devil to
know that sometimes the devil
inadvertently witnesses to
saintly character.
Pilate, speaking of Jesus,
whom he condemned to be
crucified, said, "I find no fault
in him." Likewise, the high
priests, who demanded the
crucifixion, said, "He saved
others, himself he cannot
save." Yes, he saved others,
but he could not save himself
without belying the principle
of his willing sacrifice.
If we are to discount all the
testimony of former commu
nists because of what they
were before they turned to
the truth, how great will be
our loss of knowledge of com
munists and their ways.
As to the Russians who are
visiting the United States un
der the guise of Russian Orth
odox priests, there are some
questions and answers. When
the Russian Orthodox sought
admission to the World Coun
cil of Churches, some ques
tions were asked. The Rev.
Frederick Brown Harris, chap
lain of the U. S. Senate, gives
us some of their answers, both
from their spoken and written
answers.
1. "The noble and truly hu
man aims of the Soviet regime
we sincerely recognize as es
tablished by God and expres
sing the will of the people.
Our church calls upon all its
faithful children honestly to
submit to the regime in all
things." (This from a regime
that denies the existence of
God.)
2. "The United Slates inter
fered in the internal affairs of
the Korean people. Any inter
ference in such family affairs
can be prompted only by self
ish quest for advantage. The
Rusian Orthodox Church con
demned this intervention and
the inhuman annihilation of
the peaceful population of Ko
rea by the American Air
Forces who disseminated Col
orado beetles and resorted to
the use of bacteriological
weapons."
3. "We condemn certain
foreign circles (the U. S.) for
attempts to destroy the peo
ple's democracy in Hungary."
4. "Capitalistic America, the
trans-Atlantic octopus, is try
ing to fasten its greedy tenta
cles around the whole globe
. . . The freedom of the West
ern democrats is but liberty
to rob, coerce and slaughter."
These are the people for
whom Mr. Jenny and others
like him, have warm words of
commendation and brother
hood. In contrast, there are
only condemnation and ridi
cule for the poor deluded par
anoic right enders such as
Streed, Howard, Shafer, Pow
ell and all Conservatives.
What a strange way to fight
communism.

To the Editor: Hi Folks.
The scales in the depot tell
me I have lost 51 pounds, so
as I don't take up so much
blubber space in the mirror, I
got up nerve to look in. That
ol' hen looking outta there
wasn't the jolly me I usta was,
she resembles Aunt Sherepta
from Podunk Town, and 1 can
think of other names, too.
By the way, you communi
cators write such interesting
letters, and then, some of you
put your name on file. I so
like to know the writers, but
I won't bother the editor to
dig 'em out for me. You should
be proud td be even a small
part of our good paper. I am,
and I love to get calls and per
sonal letters from people who
like, or do not like, my style.
Sometimes I get some "dil
lies." 1 know that Isn't a word,
but it is almost like one, and
one can fasten any ol' mean
ing onto it.
