TWO figures suffice.
In Libya a few years ago 71 per cent of the
elementary school children were afflicted with
trachoma, a disease causing blindness. That fig
ure has been cut to 34 per cent. In our way of
thinking 34 per cent is still all too great. But
think of the improvement.
In Haiti, especially in the rural areas, yaws,
a disease of great running sores, afflicted 80 per
cent of the population just a few years ago. Now
yaws has been all but eliminated, and at a cost
of just about 10 cents a person.
The two examples above are the kind of thing
that must make the American foreign aid people
feel that all is not hopeless. They point up major
achievements in mankind's long struggle against
his cruel environment.
THOSE of us who are paying, and we certainly
are paying, may reflect that our money has
gone ior gooa cause gooa in lis lmmeuiaie nu
manitarian effect, and cood in it long-range ef
fect of enabling people who otherwise would be
burdens to all mankind to carve out their own
destinies.
We mav. and should, be critical of foreign
aid when it is used to prop up a decadent regime,
when it is used in a manner that makes it seem
unnecessary for a nation to work out its own
problems.
But we can also know that our money was
well spent when it enabled people to get out of
the sick bed and almshouse and into the produc
tive mainstream of a society. Eugene Register-Guard.
Who's for the Constitution?
President Kennedy has directed national at
tention to one of the anomalies in the pressure
campaigns conducted by the super-patriots of the
radical right. The tendency of these self-appoint
ed defenders of the Constitution, the President
noted, is to work ceaselessly for constitutional
changes so basic they would upset its essential
nrincinles.
Mr. Kennedy was referring specifically to the
three "states' rights" amendments, which have
already slipped through a score of state legisla
tures almost without debate. These proposals
would subvert the form of government establish
ed in 1787 by removing many of the powers of
Congress and the Supreme Court. They are indi
cative of the perils that reside in the extreme
right perils well summarized by Senator Kuchel,
the Republican whip, in a recent speech on the
Senate floor.
His theme was that right-wing fright-ped
dlers were doing "devil's work far better than
Communists could do. He charged that those
who to hate and fear in the name of conserva
tims "defile the honorable philosophy of conser
vatism with that claim as thoroughly as the
Communists defile the honorable philosophy of
liberalism.
This is a judgment that will find widespread
endorsement among responsible Americans of

Consistency?
A chief reason given for votes against the
new constitution in the Legislative Assembly was
fear of the one-man executive, the governor.
Those who felt this way like the three elected of
ficials, governor, secretary of state, state treasur
er, who make up the Board of Control and the
State Land Board.
But what did the Assembly do to these
boards? It took away the Tuberculosis Hospital
from the Board of Control and gave it to the
Board of Higher Education. And it scattered
functions of the Land Board among other state
agencies.
Then it raised the salaries of the trovernor,
the secretary of state and the state treasurer.

Notes from the foreign
news cables:
Incurable
Japan's Prime Minister
Hayato Ikeda has suffered
long from an ailment known
as "foot in
mouth" d i s-
ease. It is an
ailment
which leads
him to say
things which
may be true
but also are
not popular.
There is a
cabinet shift coming up in
July, and Ikeda would like
to do It on a basis of strength
ening his government and
not just satisfying the vari-
ous factions of his conserva
tive party.
But trouble may be ahead,
from a source that has been
one of his main strengths
the people. Prices have been
Eoing up six per cent a year,
which is bad enough. What is
worse is that one of Ikeda s
ministers admonished house
wives to cut living costs by
living less luxuriously. The
40,000 member Kansai
Housewives' Association has
written Ikeda, "We heard you
said at a recent cabinet meet
ing that the people should eat
more cheap fish. This reminds
us of your infamous remark
that the poor should eat bar
ley instead of rice." That ref
erence was to an Ikeda state
ment in 1949.
Three years later Ikeda did
it again, saying the govern
ment couldn't help it if small

Miraculous Cura
To the Editor: Permit me
if you would to briefly share
with your readers a true hu
man interest story.
It happened several years
ago on the Oregon coast near
Gold Beach. I personally know
most of the characters involv
ed.
A speeding stolen car with
two youthful criminals struck
and demolished another car
which was coming on High
way 101 from a side road.
The youths, who were un
hurt, were soon captured and
placed in prison. Roy Slay
baugh, the other driver, was
not ail fortunate. His bleeding
and mangled, almost lifeless
form was rushed to the hos
pital in Gold Beach.
Besides a severed ear, an
eye hanging from the socket,
fractured jaw and general
bruises, his skull was frac
tured and the cerebral fluid
was oozing from the wound.
Deatn was not far away.
Roy's wife was advised to
call her pastor but not to
"bother" relatives who were
over BOO miles away.
Two Bible believing minis
ters came and asked that any
who did not believe in prayer
to leave the room. They then
knelt and asked God to heal
Roy If It was according to His
will, then quietly left. Up un
til this time Roy was uncon
scious. The evidence of on
coming death had already set
in.
Now he roused, soon spoke
and asked where he was. To
make a long story short, Mr.
Slaybaugh walked from that
hospitul three days later a
well man. He would have left
sooner had they released him.
Any who might doubt this
story, I can say I know it
actually happened. Both of
the pastors were personal
friends. One now dead was
my uncle, a former Medford
pastor. 1 have visited and sat
at Roy Slaybaugh's table. I've
seen his scars. I've heard his
story from his own lips.
But the story doesn t end
there. A number of persons
in that area gave their hearts
to God. And to top it all the
two youthful criminals were
won to Christ In the Oregon
Stale prison by none other
than Roy and Rose Slaybaugh.
To any who might deny
God, His Son, or suy prayer
is like talking on a line with
no one on the other end, I
submit this true story. I have
only related a small portion
of this thrilling experience.
The whole true story is avail
able in book form from a
book store in Portland. I be
lieve it costs a dollar or less.

A Christian Naiior.T
To the Editor: Enough has
been sntd about this vile book
which was referred to by
these fine Christian ladies. 1
do hope however that they
do not lose heart concerning
the Lord's power to overcome
such as these. When He was
here In the flesh, He was per
secuted in every way by the
ones who were supposed to
be His people. His word had
been interwoven and distorted
full freedom, then we cannot
call ourself a Christian nation
any longer.
Again and again we have
violated every one of His
laws. We build large churches,
spend millions printing liter
ature that tells someone that
their church is wrong, even
that Satan runs their church,
and tries to prove that a par
ticular day qualifies us as a
Lord's people. Then we won
der why our children are con
fused.
Man cannot say al any time
that he is a Christian. Only
the Lord qualifies you. Search
your heart for there is where
the Lord searches for His own.
The books put out by differ
ent churches are much more
dangerous than by some ag
nostic who has no power. By
bringing books of this sort,
spoken of by the ladies, only
puts light on a book of darkness.
If you are really interested
in doing the Lord's work,
study your own Bible and
learn what the Lord has for
you. The same churches that
preach here have representa
tives In the southern states
and they persecute the colored
people. By not standing fast
there, their power here Is of
little value. The churches
need a lot of soul searching

Townsond Plan
To the Editor: Here is the
Townscnd plan in only 180
simple words:
A bill to bring about full
industrial production for the
nation, limited only by the
people's capacity to consume,
rather than by their inability
to buy. It will make jobs for
the jobless. It is also a pro
gram of insurance for ill
American business against
loss of customers due to their
lack of money or purchasing
power.
The Townsend plan would
collect a 2 per cent tax from
the gross Income of all com
panies and Individuals, ex
empting that portion of In
dividual Income required to
provide a decent standard of
living. This tax would be col
lected monthly. All revenue
from It would be equally dis
tributed every 30 days to the
aied. the blind, the crippled
and mothers with minor chil
dren. Distribution would be
in monthly payments equal
to all and given without a
means test, paupers oath or
lien clause.
Benefits would be equal in
all states. Sole requirement
would be that recipients be
60 years of age or over and
retired from gainful occupa
tion, thus making room for
voungcr workers. Benefits

It is reported from Geneva
that President Kennedy and
Premier Khrushchev are near

HOT LINE - which
would be a teletype line run
ning overland from Moscow
to London and thence by
ocean cable to the National
Command Center in Washing
ton and from there directly
to ine wnue House.
The idea is that in the last
final pinch, when it looked
like nuclear war was lneven

President JFK and Premier
Kroosh could get together
over the hot line and call It
off.

Anti-Christ
To the Editor: "They crucify
the Son of God alresh and p it
him to open shame." (Hebrews
6:6.)
No one, including you
blessed Medford Christians,
can understand the issues of
this hour unless he first un
derstands the determination
of the organized enemies of
our precious Lord Jesus
Christ to destroy His name,
stamp out His influence, and
outlaw His gospel.
Through subtle pressures
and other means, throughout
our nation, the following has
already been accomplished by
anti-Christ forces: 1. Removal
of crosses from foreign mili
tary cemeteries. 2. Removal of
crosses from armed services
chapels. 3. Put a stop to the
custom In many cities and
towns of recreating the Christ
ian Nativity scene, or any
other symbol of the birth of
Christ, on the courthouse
square, the school house
grounds, or city hall grounds.
4. Made many school districts
call in all song books with
Christmas carols and replace
them with new books that
omit all reference to Christ.
3. Outlawed prayer in the
school systems of America. 6.
Stopped the use of the name
of Christ in public prayer in
many places. T. Put the
blasphemous book. "The Last

Ultimate Weapon
An Anti-Dog Dog
By Arthur Hoppe
The role of Our Friend the
Dog as a force-for law and
order is, I fear, in jeopardy.
True, at the moment all looks
rosy. Everywhere, Our
Friend the Dog, fangs bared,
strains at the policeman's
leash to impose law and
order with that most efficient
of weapons: sheer terror.
But an ominous black cloud
has gathered on the horizon:
love.
The first crude device in
this growing arsenal was the
Anti-Dog Bun, a simple bread
roll soaked in aniseed oil. It
was unveiled to the world on
May 11, 1963, in the hitherto
little known English com
munity of Marham by a band
of British peace marchers.
"I admit we had aniseed
buns, confessed their leader,

REALISM" AND DEATH
Each time I visit New York,
I think that the traffic can
not possibly be any worse -
but it always
is. On my
latest visit, a
few weeks
ago, I walked
the two dozen
blocks from
my hotel to
the theater
every night,
in order to be
' Harru on time.
If we want to understand
international relations, the
simplist analogy lies in a city
itself. A city generally does
nothing about its problems
until the situation gets so bad
only radical remedies will
work.
Most cities began one-way
streets too late. They re
stricted parking too late.
They built superhighways
only when the traffic was so
congested that the superhigh-
ways were obsolescent by the
time they were finished.
e e a
Every American metro
polis today faces the immense-
task of turning itself
around, of demolition and
rebuilding, of cutting out
the cancer at its core, oi
coping with staggering
problems of slums and raea
relations with the world
and high taxes and the ut
ter lack of planning thai
has characterised i h
growth oi all large commu
nities. It wo hava noi had iho

with relatively small prob
lems within a given city,
how can wa oxpoct that our
and Savior to open shame. Is
it any wonder that long suf
fering Christians are begin
ning to cry out in righteous
anger?
In case you are in doubt, in
1891 the U.S. Supreme Court
was asked to determine
whether or not this is a
Christian nation. It handed
down a decision containing
the following words, "This is
a Christian nation."
Never-the-less. watch for a
future drive of the anti-Christ
forces to accomplish the fol
lowing: 1. To put an end to
opening i r Congress and our
Supreme Court with prayer.
2. To take "under God" out
of our Pledge of Allegiance.
3. To take "In God We Trust"
off of American currency. 4
To abolish chaplains in the
armed services.
Also watch for leftist per
iodicals to defend this cam
paign to destroy Christ's name
and all evidence of His life,
death, resurrection, and gos
pel: and the Christian faith
that grew out of them. Even
as the leftist magazine,
"Time" has just defended the
anti-Christ book, "The Last
Temptation of Christ" and its
author, Nikos Kazantzakis.

The most Important part of
medicine is preventive medi
cine. Everybody knows this.
But we have not applied this
knowledge to the social areas,
whether it is traffic, or slums,
or juvenile delinquency, or
war and dictatorship. We
spend, for instance, billions
on prisons and reformatories,
but hardly a dribble to erase
the social and psychological
conditions that create crime
and delinquency.
Which American, private cr
public, was really interested
in Cuba during the long dark
years of Batista's regime? It
was an exotic isle, a pleasure
spot, a gambling haven. That
it was rottenly over-ripe for

us - until a Castro looms up
90 miles from our shores, to
our shocked surprise, fear
and indignation.
No business could exist for
more than a year without
planning ahead, without
spending considerable sums
on research and development.
But cities go on for years,
countries for decades, build

necessary jails, stockpiling
arms and making ineffectual
treaties, in the name of "real

crushes them to death.

The bobbies, their ferocious

wagging their tails, were
understandably bitter. "A

he hurled the gravest charge

not," he said stiffly, "playing

And It certainly is not.
Moreover, it cannot be mere
coincidence that the Anti-Dog
Bun was quickly followed by
the far more sophisticated
Anti-Dog Can, an extract of
cayenne pepper in an aerosol
spray. First exploded by our
own U. S. Post Office Depart
ment. I realize the department
argues such chemical warfare
is justified to discourage Our
Friend the Dog from his fav
orite brand of dogfood. Post
man's Ankle. But if an offi
cial Government department
sanctions dealing thusly with
vicious dogs, what will this
do to our traditional respect
for law and order?
Moreover, what if this
weapon should fall into the
wrong hands? Let "Ban the
Can!" be our battle cry.
The need is urgent. This
incredibly rapid evolution
from the Anti-Dog Bun to the
Anti-Dog Can leaves no doubt
that mankind stands today on
the threshold of unleashing
the ultimate weapon: The
Anti-Dog Dog.
I shudder to contemplate
this not-too-distant scene. Per-,
haps It will be Birmingham or
Greensboro or Durham. There'
stands the crowd on the main
street, defying racial law and
segregated order. Here come
the police with Our Friends
the Dogs snapping and snarl
ing as they strain at their
leashes.
And then from the suitably
terrorized throng steps forth
the Rev. Martin Luther King,
carrying a small black box.
He sets it down. He opens it.
And out steps the ultimata
weapon! A friendly little dog.
Who happens to be a fe
male. e
Well. I won't offend tha
sensitive by describing tha
urrlal havoc that will in
evitably follow. But did you
know our policemen tie those
leashes to their wrists? Have
you ever had a large male dog
who was in love tied to your
wrist? Why, the cost in new
uniforms alone staggers the
imagination. And as for the
cause of law and order . . .
Our only hope is the very
existence of the Anti-Dog Dog
will be deterrent. Making the
unleashing of Our Friends
the Dogs by either side un
thinkable. ,
Because, despite our ad
vances, the problem remains
that love is still a more po
tent force than terror. But
have faith in those who put
law and order above people.
I'm sure they're working on
it.
There's half the trouble In the world too many pea
pie enjoy watching other people work!"
