MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON
SUNDAY. JULY 28. 1963
It's a Plot
To the Editor: In answer to
Senator Maurine Neuborger
(M.T. 72263) I certainly DO
get the point in her "re
marks." To her, the education
al truths put out by right wing
groups are "political propa
ganda." She has set herself
up as a committee of one to
define what is, and what is
not, "political propaganda."
And quite evidently, to her,
any educational effort which
teaches the American people
the truth about the Red threat
to our freedom, the Commu
nist infiltration into and sub
version of our Government
and religious organizations,
any exposure of treason, and
any exposure of the "soft on
Communism" policies of our
Government officials and
church leaders is "propagan
da." Her attack on the source
oi revenue of our right wing
anti - Communist groups is
tragic in the extreme. For
they have so little money with
which to fight the untold bil
lions of the tax-free founda
tions. Only because of the right
wing resistance to this power
ful clique of ultra-left interna
tionalists who would destroy
our country does each and
every American enjoy his
freedom today. The following
ere just two out of many ex
amples of what I mean. In
1949-50 the ultra-leftist, big
money boys almost succeeded
in secretly pushing the United
World Federalists "Resolu
tion" through enough state
legislatures to make it the law
of the land, disarm America,
and enslave the American
people in a one-world govern
ment. The right wing got the
truth out to the people just in
the nick of time to expose and
smash this plot. Again in
1959, the big liberal-leftists
pulled out all the stops in an
all out effort in Washington,
D.C., to push the repeal of the
Connally Amendment through
the Senate and entrap the
American people in slavery
by putting them under juris
diction of the World Court.
But right wing organizations
alerted the people to their
danger in time and the angry
outcry of patriots via letters,
telegrams and phone calls to
their Senators stopped this in
its tracks.
Senator Neuberger, at this
moment you owe your own
personal freedom to the right
wing organizations which
have so faithfully alerted our
people to their danger with
what you so erroneously call
"propaganda." Why are you
attacking the very ones who
have saved your freedom for
you?

Somewhat Inaccurate
To the Editor: The article in
the paper of Friday, July 26,
regarding the visit of Enrico
De Maria of Alba, Italy, to
Medford this summer is inac
curate in some respects.
The Sister City committee
is planning to meet Monday to
arrange for a civic welcome
for the Alba visitor on Aug. 7
or 8 at the city hall. This will
be followed by a no-host
luncheon to which city, coun
ty and other officials will be
invited.
All plans for Dr. De Maria's
arrival were made several
months ago under the sponsor
ship of the Rogue Valley
Council of The Experiment in
International Living together
with the financial backing of
Council members and local
residents and organizations.
While in the Rogue valley,
Enrico De Maria will stay
with three families: Mr. and
Mrs. Lloyd Bishop, 2525 Ar
gonne ave., Mr. and Mrs.
Harry C. Skyrman, 154 South
Foothills rd., and Mr. and Mrs.
Eugene Orr, Old Military rd.
We feel sure you would
like to have this information
to clear up the inaccuracies in
Friday's issue of the Medford
Mail Tribune.

What Happened to Sin
To the Editor: The editorial
published June 27, 1963 has
been a subject of discourse as
the letter to the editor indi
cates of Tuesday, July 9, by
George M. Babcock, and the
views of prominent men as
Charles A. Sprague, of Salem
publication, who quote .Med
ford Mail Tribune "Sin used
to be a very live subject of
theological discourse and for
sermonizing, etc., etc."

Poetry: A Kind of Exploration
At its best, poetry is a kind of exploration. It goes beyond
the limits of our powers of expression. . . . When a poet has
succeeded in saying something new ... or old in a way that
makes it more accessible to our understanding, he has added
to our capacity for experience, just as an explorer who dis
covers a new island does.
Jacob Korg
O
Friendship
A ruddy drop of manly blood
The surging sea outweighs:
The world, uncertain, comes and goes,
The lover rooted stays.
I fancied he was fled-
And after many a year
Glowed unexpected kindliness,
Like daily sunrise there.
My careful heart was free again,
"O friend," my bosom said,
"Through thee alone the sky is arched,
Through thee the rose is red;
All things through thee take nobler form,
And look beyond the earth;
The mill-round of our fate appears
A sun-path in thy worth.
Me too thy nobleness has taught
To master my despair;
The fountains of my hidden life
Are through thy friendship fair."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
O
Birmingham
King and Connor clashed.
King spoke with prayer; children joined parades.
Connor answered: hoses, dogs and clubs.
This is Birmingham? Alabama? My America?
I bow my head in shame.

Estacada, Ore.
O
The Old Kitchen Table
Not much of a table, as tables go,
Just four round legs and a pine-board top.
But it stood in our kitchen a long time ago
With a sink, a stove, a broom and a mop.
At suppertime It was never alone;
Mom and Dad and we children were there;
A new set of dishes of ironstone
And a drawer for the bone-handled silverware.
Where is it now, and how does it feel
When shadows creep and the sun sinks low?
Does it long for the weight of an evening meal
And happy voices of long ago?
Or sit in silence as hours burn,
Remembering days that can never return?
-George McDonald
Dufur, Ore.
O
Life Is Like a Day
Life can change,
Like the days of the year:
Sunny, then rainy,
Gay. then drear.
If I could only go back,
Back to the gay
Maybe go back
And see a new day.
-Stephanie A. Day (Age 14)
Trail, Ore.
And quoting again Mr.
Sprague comments, "One
might conclude that Sin has
been abolished and sinning
has become popular."
What has happened to sin is
that the former controls exer
cized largely through religion
as well as the law have be
come less binding and society
has not yet affected alternate
controls that are binding.
And further quote that
"moral sanctions once applied
to gambling, drinking, etc.,
etc., have almost disap
peared," etc. And for the most
of the views quoted can be in
agreement but in contrast to
Mr. Babcock who says, skep
tics long ago repudiated the
doctrine of original sin, and
he can't be in agreement that
the earth was created to be
populated with sinners. This
can be a common view for out
of this group is where Chris
tians are converted to Jesus
Christ and God. So God made
it very plain in His plan what
things are to be.
The Bible has the rules of
God and no change has been
made in the time passed, even
if some churches omit preach
ing God's word and fill in
their own meanings.
Jesus Christ is the name
preached for the salvation
from sin. There is no other
way-for Christ is the end of
the law for righteousness to
everyone that believeth. Ro
man 10:4.
Original sin has been ex
plained in different ways and
meanings, and had there been
no sin there would have been
no "Mosaic law," no "Jesus
on the Cross," "no salvation,"
no purpose of need to be
come right with God, and
like some evolutionists would
have us without a created
form, and something that was
part animal.
Some people would like
that, for when readirjg the
papers one wonders if some
still are. The behavior of some
people leaves much to be de
sired any way anyone looks
at it. But God sees things His
way-that never changes.
What skeptics repudiate and
some churches preach has no
effect in God's plans.
Unbelief is the worst
today.

Solution
To the Editor: Does anyone
doubt Presi dent Kennedy's
strategy in his handling of the
railroad labor problem? Sure
ly the unions do not. It is a
fair guess that (the agreed on
plan) is for the entire railroad
system to be' nationalized.
Then the unions' problems
will be solved, at once and
for all time!

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
The Lord Not Mocked
To the Editor: Again Alice
Black has the courage to ask
why this book she speaks of
has been cleared for public
reading. Perhaps she may de
rive from the silence of tne
ministry that they offer no
objection to this book being
read. I am sure that all Chris
tian ministers do object to
this, however, in the study of
the Lord's word in the second
chapter of Genesis you see
that the Lord docs allow His
people a choice. You may be
obedient to His will or you
i choose to live without
His law. Eve, then Adam,
chose to disobey. They then
lost their blessings. Through
out the history of the Lord's
people you can see that the
choice was always with them.
In Christ's teachings to us we
are reminded that only the
Father's own would recognize
the Son.
Do not be afraid that the
Lord's people shall be de
ceived by such as these books
or any other fool's rumblings.
Where many of today's would-
be Christians fall is that they
do not study to learn of the
Father so He can in turn show
them the Son. In order to
know the Son you must be
able to understand Him and
only through prayer and study
can you accomplish this. As
the Lord tells us the require
ments to be of Him. As the
New Testament had not been
written as yet then, we know
that the old Scriptures are the
ones he meant for us to study,
along with His then uttered
words. Most modern would-be
Christians believe that it
only necessary to read the
New Testament to acquire the
blessings of His word. This
is where they fall.
There are many books in
the public libraries which can
do much more harm to people
if they choose to read such
trash. There is a great move
ment on now by Satan's dis
ciples to pervert the truth to
make it much harder for the
Lord's people to be able to
choose what are the Lord':
words and what is foolishness.
Fraudulent Christianity
To the Editor: Of all the ac
tions of human beings, the
most horrible is fraudulent
Christianity. There's no par
allel to it in the history of the
world.
Today people discuss so
many events in most churches
it has astonished mother na
ture. They are imbecile and
insolent enough to try forg
ing through St. Peters Gate
even.
God gave men understand
ing so they might conduct
themselves well, and laws to
live by, not to be modified by
man to suit current events or
his passing lusty fashions.
Man will not accomplish
his destiny for he has no re
spect for morality. All doubts
and objections of this state
ment will vanish if you con
sider the infinite difference
between white man and col
ored man.
Man is not made with two
natures or two wills that
work together. Man is either
confusion of twisted ignor
ance or he is a man of God
and nothing but a just man
pleases God. The other man
not of God bears envy, pre
judices, criticisms, persecut
ing everything and everyone
whom they despise. These
good Christians of the devils
who despise the evils of the
world presumably triumph
over the torments they inflict
upon fellow men. Their emo
tion of celestial love is guid
ed in ways unknown to hu
man wisdom.
Distinguishing themselves
with titles such as brothers,
sisters, saints and faith lovers,
they have set an example
around the earth of how such
should be established. It's an
insult to God for man to
persecute the colored man
and use the Word of God as
an excuse to influence murder
on innocent people nothing
more than monstrous evil.
E. Dykes,
Central Point, Ore,
JACK PAAR tells about the kitchen maid who didn't ap
preciate a new uniform as her Christmas gift and quit
not before reminding her generous employers, however, that
the turkey had been
stuffed and was ready to
be put into the oven. The
turkey turned out to be
stuffed, all right with
the new uniform!
The noted wit and schol
ar, Gilbert Chesterton, took
a dim view of the emanci
pation of women. "Twenty
million women at one time,"
he observed sourly, "rose to
their feet crying 'We will
not be dictated to' and
promptly became stenographers!"
SIGNS OF NOTE:
In a Springfield barber shop: "I need your head to run my busi
ness."
At a Chillicothe intersection: "Look both ways before crossing
the street and avoid that rundown feeling."
On a snack bar in Columbus: "Ye Olde Brown Jug: Chinese
Food."
On a car wash in Altadena: "Grime Doesn't Pay."
Outside a reducing parlor: "Come in and shoo the fat"
On a nudist camp bulletin board in sub-zero weather: "Clothed
for the seuon."
