THE VALUE OF
LITTLE THINGS
Everything worthwhile in
life is accomplished a step at
a time. Little by little, first
by learning the alphabet, we
achieve our education. The
person who attains true suc
cess and deepening of charac
ter grows slowly, daily, in
grace, adding a little here and
there. Little things truly
make up and help sweeten
life-the kind word, look and
deed. It is the greatest mis
take to refrain from doing
anything because one can do
only a little.
From California comes
word about effective legisla
tion: The willful abandon
ment of a cat or dog made un
lawful, punishable as a mis
demeanor. The baby chick,
duck and rabbit bill, prohibit
ing dyeing and give-away of
baby fowl and rabbits as an
advertising gimmick was
strengthened by an amend
ment which increases the pen
alties. Many unfavorable bills
were defeated and other good
bills were passed during the
1963 session. This legislation
was accomplished by the let
ters and telegrams from hu
mane organizations' officers
and members and hard work
at Sacramento.
From Friends of Animals,
Inc., N. Y., comes the report
that they have 100 volunteers,
working in 26 states, taking
applications for the financing
of spaying cats and dogs. This
means a great reduction in
homeless animals, because
some people gave a little
time.
So many letters were writ
ten in regard to "Bull-fighting"
on TV that many com
panies have refused to spon
sor shows of that nature-including
rodeos, where many
steers are crippled or killed
instead of one bull per fight.
The Oregon State fair has
eliminated rodeos from its
program in favor of horse
shows.
The Wyoming Humane so
ciety has taken legal action
to compel the state veterinar
ian to halt steer-roping in ro
deos. This would be the en
forcement of the state's anti
cruelty law.
These protests show that
many people have given a
little of their personal time
and effort to carry on the
work for the most helpless,
with no other defense than
their appealing eyes.
The Circle of Compassion
, The circle grows and widens
With every act of mine
Like boundless ripples in
a pool,
Like beams from candle-shine-
Encompassing all helpless
ones,
In sharing, working, giving,
In little things, in love and
care,
We reach the heart of
living.
Write that letter to your
congressmen today in regard
to the laboratory bill.

By ELEANOR WIESE
The Sonoran Desert of Ari
zona as viewed by Joseph
Wood Krutch, one of Amer
ica's distinguished naturalists
and philosophers, will be one
of the summer's most unusual
TV offerings when "The Voice
of the Desert" is broadcast
Thursday at 10 p.m. on
KMED-TV.
Professor Krutch's observa
tions on the desert and the
lessons its plant and animal
life can offer man are illus
trated with beautiful scenes
showing the outlandish boo
gum tree, the giant saguaro
cactus, the mysterious aban
doned cliff dwellings of an
cient Indians, and the tapestry
of spring wild flowers.
No ordinary naturalist, Pro
fessor Krutch has found a new
life in the Sonoran Desert aft
ter a long career as professor
of dramatic literature at Co
lumbia university, drama cri
tic, essayist and biographer.
He sees the wild creatures
of the desert as part of a
grand plan and sharply criti
cizes his fellow man as the
destroyer of the wilderness.
In speaking of the road-runner,
for example, Krutch says,
"Not everybody loves the
road-runner. Nothing is so
likely to make an animal un
popular as the tendency to eat
things which we ourselves
would like to eat. And the
road-runner is guilty of just
this wickedness. He is accused
of varying his diet with an
occasional baby quail itself.
"Sportsmen are afraid that
this reduces the number they
will be able to kill in their
more efficient way. And so,
naturally, they feel that the
road-runner should be elimi
nated. He and the quail have
gone along together for quite
a long while. Neither seems
likely to eliminate the other.
Man on the other hand, may
very easily eliminate both.
It is the kind of thing at which
he is best."

MEDFORD
Medford Council Defers Action
A request by a Medford in
surance company for a sign
variance was deferred to a
joint meeting of the planniing
commission and the city coun
cil at the latter group's
Thursday night meeting.
The request, made by Le
land Clark of Oregon Mutual
Fire Insurance company, had
received a unanimously nega
tive recommendation by the
planning commission at its
Aug. 8 meeting.
Clark told the council he
wished to erect an eight
square foot sign to advertise
the location of his firm in
Kliever Noted on
Princeton List
Douglas Edward Klie v e r,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward
H. Kliever, 1008 Mira Mar
ave., Medford, is one of 400
Princeton University under
graduates named to the Dean's
list for scholastic achieve
ments during the past aca
demic year, according to Mer
rill Knapp, dean of the col
lege. He is the only student
from Oregon on the list.
This is the first year that
Princeton has signified aca
demic distinction by means of
a dean's list. In the past, par
ents of students with a 2.0
average and higher, necessary
qualification for the list, were
sent letters of commendation.
Kliever, who completed his
junior year at Princeton, is
spending the summer working
on the staff of U.S. Sen.
Wayne Morse in Washington,
D.C. He graduated from Med
ford High school in 1960.

the Oregon Bank building on
Jackson st.
He said the sign would be
exactly the same size as the
sign of a previous tenant in
that location. Clark said that
instead of changing the copy
in the existing sign when he
moved in, he had ordered a
new sign from a different firm
because of differences in
costs.
Report to Council
In their report to the coun
cil, the planning commission
pointed out that the previous
sign "was intentionally made
non-conforming ... so that
it could be removed if It were
structurally altered, which is
in keeping with the purpose
and intent of the non-conforming
provisions in the zoning
ordinance."
The report further stated
that "the commission believes
that the business can be ad
equately identified by instal
ling a sign which conforms
to the sign regulations and
that re-establishing this non
conforming sign would set a
precedent which the commis
sion would not want to do.
The motion to refer the
matter to a joint meeting of
the groups was made by Coun
cilman Richard Travis. It
