Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON FRIDAY. APRIL M. IMS In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS The news? Here's a sample: Cheered by half a million Britons and acclaimed by a Jlittering array of royalty, Princess Alexandria, Queen invuuie cousin, IS mrr'ed in Westminster " me son of a titled Scottish family. More than 120 members of British and European royal houses turned out for the occasion. Incidents? Well, in the crush that fol lowed the ceremony, Queen Elizabeth stepped on the toe of King Olaf of Norway. She begged his pardon, and he said: "Oh, no; it was my fault." People, you see, are people-crowns or no crowns. Even a king can have his loe stepped on. QUEEN Elizabeth took the wedding party out PUB BING in the Berkshire countryside. Fifty-one guests. along with the queen and STHE BIBLE M SPEAKS B TO YOU J Sunday, 9:00 a.m. K-SHA-860 k . Prince Philip, piled into two buses and wound their way ) from Windsor castle which i later was the scene of the "Ball of the Century" to a I -Sun vpar nIH miK in tho email I town of Bray. Twenty-eight ot the pubbers were members of foreign royal, or former royal, families. After cocktails, they had fresh lobster, roast lamb, treacle tart and fresh cream with cheese and coffee to finish off the pub lunch. AT THE queen's request, forget-me-nots were on the tables and the waitresses wore red roses pinned to their dresses for St. George's day. The queen was given a bou quetof roses, and was later seen ministering to a pricked thumb on the bus. Kin Olaf of Norway offered to help her squeeze out the offending thorn, but the queen, all the time smiling, managed alone. Again, you see, queens are PEOPLE. They bleed when scratched by a rose thorn. Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- IsfrsssssKsOWssss $etmea BW "AtoiMmmt nd Hit Len.ly Crowd' BUT The world IS changing. In London, the Daily Mail, Britain's largest newspaper, published a stinging attack on "royal dcadbeats" in London to attend the ceremony. Hit ting at members of Europe's former royal families, the Mail asked in a two-column editorial: "What's Going On? The editorial asked whether the wedding was a marriage "between popular young peo ple or a publicity campaign 4T ONCE had a girl in my class," reminisced an astronomy I. professor at Vassar, "who was enchanting and beau tiful but to stupid she actually believed the moon was made out of green, cheese." "What became of her?" asked an associ ate. "She got married be fore her freshman year was concluded," chuckled the professor. "The son of the richest man in Iowa took her out and made her actually look at the moon." Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (C) Field Enterprises Inc. in Casey Stengel la de termined that his New York Mets will not dupli cate In 1863 the dismal . showing they made last year. "We had one bad break after an other in 1962 beginning when we lost our first nine games," he grumbled. "This year, maybe we'll have a little good luck. Like Babe Herman always had." (Babe Herman, in case you've for gotten, toiled in the outfield in the good old days when the Dodg ers still played in Brooklyn). "I'll tell you how lucky that feller Herman was," continued Stengel. "One fall, for no reason at all, he bought a big turkey farm in California. Two weeks later. President Roosevelt announced there would be two Thanksgiv ings that year!" for Europe's busted-down, pensioned-off, forgotten but not buried ex-royals." It ad ded: "Is this the welfare state or the royal welfare morgue?" WELL Times ARE changing. A few centuries ago, a statement like that would have been lese majeste, and the editors of the Mail would have been hustled off to jail. HIS thought in conclusion: Do you reckon that all over the world even in our own country - government just might be getting too touch wound up in fluff and feathers and foofcraw? All this magnificence costs a LOT of money-all of which comes out of the taxpayers' pockets. And A whale of a lot of it is being PUT ON THE CUFF lor future generations to pay. What's going to happen to these future generations? LESSON OF ALCATRAZ One of the wire service stories out of San Francisco last month, reporting that Alcatraz P r i- son had shut up shop after nearly 30 years as a "m a x i m um security" jail for "incorrig- ibles, failed to m e n t i on the most signi ficant far-T nf all. In its three decades of op eration, "The Rock." as it was unaffectionately known by inmates and guards alike, be came less and less grim and punitive toward its prisoners. Founded on a philosophy of absolute toughness, it was nevertheless learned in pract ical experience that such toughness did not work out. When it was first opened in 1934 as a Federal peniten tiary, the rule of silence was imposed upon the inmates. This was dropped in less than three years. Then, industries were established, and a two channel radio system was in installed for evening pro grams in each cell. Privileges at first denied the men. and later given, included subscriptions to as many as eight magaaines per man: a dosen books: c o n s i derable correspond- NOW IN OREGON: HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE from Allstate New and better all-around protection in one package policy -for families with fire insurance alone ee FIRE LIGHTNING THEFT VANDALISM WINDSTORM LIABILITY (for Ktidtfltl lo nulo'l on your p'9pvf) Allstate Homeowners Insurance is a package policy that insures your home, clothing, furniture, and most other belongings against loss from fire, theft, windstorm, lightning, vandalism -and even protects you with per sonal liability insurance. Here from Allstate is the modern package of protection that Oregon homeowners can't afford to be without . . . and the rates are low! So whether you own your house or rent it, doesn't it make good sense to get all the facts right now? See an Allstate Agent at Sears, at an Allstate Office near you, or phone and he'll gladly come to your home. Allstate Insurance Companies. Home Offices: Skokie, Illinois. " May we help you? SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. BLDG. 501 East Jackson Street 773-4722 ence; the buying of art sup plies and musical instru ments; movies at week- As time went on. the in mates were permitted to take correspondence cours es, and could earn up to SS0 a month working in the l'undrv. the furniture, glove and brush factories, or the tailor shop. Softball and handball were institut ed in a recreation area. All these innovations, ac cording to Alcatraa offic ials, "have reduced tensions and improved morale." Many of them were institut ed in 1946, following a pri son riot in which two guards and three inmates lost their lives. It was the last serioi'.s disturbance at the penitentiary. As I suggested in a recent piece, those inverted senti mentalists who are against "coddling'' convicts could learn from the experience at Alcatraz that human beings are made only worse when they are treated like animals and given no chance to exer cise their distinctively human abilities. The rigid punishment poli cies at Alcatraz did not work, and they do not work any where. Putting a man behind bars is punishment enough for anyone; any severity imposed on top of this only turns men bitter and desperate and totally incapable of being re habilitated. There is not a warden in the world who is not painfully aware of this fact. Society still lags behind its penologists; we remain punit ive and vengeful and fearful -and our attitude makes the job of prison officials tw'e as hard. Let us hope the clos ing of Alcatraz marks the opening of a new chapter in American prison treatment. A S Jet Pilots To Visit Sgt. York Nashville, Tenn.-IUPD-World War I hero Sgt. Alvin York, 75. receives special visitors today - the "Thunderbirds," an Air Force team of let pi-! lots who specialize in preci sion flying.

Hospital authorities said Thursday York would be per mitted to return to his Pall Mall, Tenn., home during the week end if his condition con tinued to improve.
