These are the various inexplicable happen ings which indicate that the human mind has powers far beyond the realm of those now gen erally acknowledged. They include such things as mental telepathy (the directly with one or more mind, without speech or (the ability to forecast what will happen); tele kinesis (the ability to move physical objects with "mind power"); clairvoyance (the power to dis cern objects not physically present), and several others. These "powers of the mind" have been a mat ter for speculation for centuries. IN THE middle ages, they usually were ascribed to witches and wizards, or other super-human beings. With the rise of science, however, they were laughed out of respectability, almost wholly because they are not susceptible to the objective tests of scientific measurement. Very few reputable scientists will today ad mit (openly, at any rate) there is even a remote chance there is anything to such phenomena. But this has not discouraged a rather large group of persons. These range all the way from the char latans, who are not above lifting an easy buck from a sucker around a "medium's" table, to serious students such as Dr. J. B. Rhine at Duke University, who has spent many years studying "parapsychology." It also includes those who have, themselves, experienced some event explainable only in psychic terms. w ITH Hamlet, we have always believed that "There are more things in heaven and earth. Horatio, "Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." And for that reason we have attempted to keep and open mind about dowsing rods, mes sages from the dead, apparent instances of tele-i pathic communciationi and others though, alas, we have never knowingly We simplv do not know, ano gladlv confess it, the while retaining a matter. 117HAT all this is leading up to is this: A recent issue of The Insider's Newsletter, a publication of the Cowles organization, reports that Soviet scientist not only accept mental telepathy as a fact, but say mind-to-mind com munications between humans may be common place in the future.

There Is a pos sibility of creating a device which would nmplfy these brain waves . . . The scientists also predict that it might be possible (o generate nrtlfical brain waves to influence the mental activity of masses of people." That puts a chill on it. Doesn't it? E.A. Brain Twistei We don't know how many people worked or TRIED to work the brain twister puzzle in logic which appeared in this space hist Friday. But judging by the evidence of frustrated phone calls and comments, it must have been a lot. One family reportedly started to solve it at p.m. "and do it before dinner" and at 7:IH) p.m. still hadn't arrived at the correct an- SWp or sat down to dinner, either. One young man worked on it for an hour or so Friday evening, almost solved it, but found , an errortn his figuring.

Please do you believe that any one that quotes the fol lowing is a Christian'.' "Heaven is also not a place to which we humans go in our present bodily state, nor is it a place for Christians only. Those who have led a good life on earth but found them selves unable to believe in God will not be debarred from heaven. "I expect to meet some present-day atheists there." P. G. Pedersen. 701 North Modoc avc, Medford Busy-Body To the Editor: I've been reading E. Dyke's article about a busy-body. He states that such a person has a tender conscience and is fre quently tormented. I wonder how he came to know that? Ouch! I think ev eryone should have a tender conscience; 'twould keep us from getting into mischief. I say "us'' because well -f am a busy-body and prone to judge others by myself. There'rc two kinds of busy bodies; those who open let ters, listen in on party lines and question things that shouldn't concern them. Those lire just plain meddlers.

So many terms are being used today to designate differing govern mental ideologies that confu sion ensues. Mr. Clarence Manion on his Forum program recently gave an explanation which clari fied my understanding, I will try to reproduce his thought. Imagine a state of anarchy where I here is no govern ment power, a place of com plete political disorder. Mere every man is for himself. This complete absence of govern mental power is the extreme right of governmental ide ology. Next imagine a place where j the extreme left is reached. Here we find the maximum I application of governmental power. Whereas at the right there were no governmental restrictions of any kind upon j any man. at the extreme left government is all powerful and the individual its slave, j Hre. man can own nothing, j He is told what to do and where to do it. He can not travel to any place without a permit. He is told where to live and must rem. tin there even though most distasteful tit luni Itr. can nn nnlhlna 1 10 nim. tie can no nothing to improve his condition This H PmiiMiinlatM wMnMrf 'it.- n practiced in iiiiH.ni iiivM- two ex- Iremes. or rmhl in the center.
