According to the complaints,
Kelly was operating a sweeper
machine on the bridge which
caused dust to rise, thus ob
scuring the sweeper. The Steen
son vehicle hit the sweeper and
was in turn struck by the
Stephens car.
The complaints charge both
Kelly and Mrs. Stephens with
negligence.

Mrs. J.P. He should turn
in his license and stop driving.
Mr. J.P. I've never had an
accident yet. She's a nag.
Mrs. J.P. - When a child Is
sick you take him to the doctor.
But what can you do with a
grown man? My husband has
high blood - pressure so bad
that it has made him black out.
Liquor in moderation used to
help him. But now he drinks
so heavily that he blacks out
from intoxication. What scares
me most is that he insists on
driving, regardless of his con
dition. I can't take the car
away from him and I can't
reason with him.
Mr. J.P. My wife is just a
killjoy. Whenever she finds me
feeling a little gay she's there
with the ice-water about my
blood pressure or my drinking.
It's pure spite. I can't be in
such bad shape if I've held the
same position for 14 years, and
have been driving that long
without trouble. What really
gripes her is the money I spend
getting drunk. But that's the
bright spot that sets me up for
the next week's work.
The Council: Before talking
about Mr. P.. let's talk about
us the public who must use
the same highways as he does.
We urge Mrs. P. to do us, her
self, and him the service of noti
fying the police to nab him
when he sets forth behind the
wheel with a snoutful on him.
And pray that they immobilize
him before he gets immobilized
in a homicidal accident. H i s
past record is no guarantee of
future safety . . . While moder
ate drinking may be therapeu
tic, Mr. P.'s is now immoderate
and dangerous. His dependence
upon it, not for health but for
his only "bright spot," marks
him as headed for alcoholism.
Surely, with the help of his doc
tor and his wife, other and more
salutary ways of making life
bearable can be found for him.
He needs facts, faith, and
friends. One way to get all three
fast is to join Alcoholics Anony
mous. Another is to write the
National Council on Alcohol
ism, 2 E. 103 St., New York
City for the name of a nearby
clinic. There are now 158 of
these in the U.S.A.

HONG KONG. (UPD-South
of China and east of India lies
an S-shaped line of coast backed
up by forest-covered mountains
and river plans in whicn tne
separate influences of the two
great Asian civilizations have
mingled over tne centuries.
This region was named Indo
China by the French, who land
ed on its shores in the hayday
of 19th Century colonialization.
Indo-China consists of Viet
Nam, known through history as
the "Smaller Dragon" because
of its traditional tribute-paying
relationship to the "middle
kinadom" of China, along with
Cambodia and Laos. The whole
area totals about 300,000 square
miles.
A Troubled Land
Today, as in the past, it is a
troubled land. It is trapped in
the fierce struggle between
East and West for the souls and
minds of its inhabitants. Al
though the people are easy-go
ing and peaceable, they have
been caught up in various strug
gles down through the cen
turies.
While Confucian influences
are predominant among the
Vietnamese, wiiose Mandarin
rulers fought a long series of
wars to wrest their independ
ence from China, and who in the
19th Century constructed a bold
new capital for their court on
lines of imperial Peking, the
two kingdoms of Cambodia and
Laos are areas of strong Budd
hist belief.
When the first European mis
sionaries landed on the coast of
central Viet Nam Ihey were
not French, but Portuguese
from the China coast trading
outpost of Macao they discov
ered the vestiges of a once-
flourishing civilization which
had been swallowed up by the
jungle. This was the civiliza
lion of the Chams, inhabitants
of a defunct kingdom known

as Champa, whose old stone
tower still look out over the
blue sea from hilltops near
Tourane and Que Nhon.
Related to Others
It was soon discovered, also,
that the Chams were related to
another people who lived further
west and whose ancestors, the
Khmers, had possessed a great
capital of imposing grandeur
complete with an intricate sys
tem of reservoirs and irrigation
canals. This capital, construct
ed at tremendous expense be
ginning in the ninth century
A D. and abandoned in the early
15th Century, was Angkor Wat,
now a popular tourist attraction
m Cambodia.
The rulers of Viet Nam greet
ed the arrival of European mis
sionaries with suspicion, and
the implantation of Catholicism
in Viet Nam was not without
bloodshed. The empire was
ruled by the benevolent autocra
cy of a successsion of Mandarins
from the throne at Hue.
The Mandarinate was incredi
bly backward. It prided itself
on its lofty isolation from the
currents of Western technical
progress which were then lap
ping round its stone fortifica
tions. In 1833 the edict which de
clared that the profession of
Christianity was a crime punish
able by death. A number of
missionaries were imprisoned,
executed or exiled, and their
houses and places of worship
were destroyed.
In 1836 a further edict closed
Vietnamese ports, with the ex
ception of Tourane, to all Euro
pean shipping.
Finally, in the 1860's, French
military squadrons arrived in
nearby seas, and under the
guise of affording protection to
French citizens, they succeeded
in compelling the local rulers to
assent lo a protectorate. The
day of French colonial rule had
arrived.
French protectorates followed
in short order in both Cambodia
and Laos, the latter consisting
of a number of separate feudal
principalities which were not
joined together under the unified
rule of the King of Luang Pra
bang until as late as 1947.
The man who was mainly re
sponsible for the extension of
French protection to Laos, then
lurgely unexplored, was Auguste
Pavie. He has left us a colorful
written account of his travels
through the jungles and across
mountains just before the turn
of the century.
At late as 1920 the journey
On Oct. 4, the ninth grade
football squad will travel to
Monument north of Grants Pass
to play their ninth grade team.
On that same day, the Hedrick
eighth grade will play the Klam
ath Falls eighth grade here at
3:30 p.m.
The World Explorers club for
students interested in geography
has been organized this year
with Tom Colley as faculty ad
visor. The club is open to sev
enth, eighth and ninth grade
students who are interested in
exchanging tapes, slides, and
post cards with students their
own age in other parts of the
United States and in foreign
countries.
Nelda Swisher, girls' physical
education teacher and Stinger
advisor, has announced the for
mation of a new girls' group
called the Stingcrcttes. The
group is comprised of the girls
who failed to qualify for the
Stingers. The girls will act as an
organized rooting section during
Hedrick ball games.
from Luang Prabang to Bang
kok, partly by river boat, partly
by walking and partly by ele
phant, took 25 days; from ia-
vannakhet to Quang Tri, 20
days; and from Attoneu in south
Laos to Qui Nhon on the central
Viet Nam coast 15 days by fast
horse or horse-and-clephant re
lay.
All these distances are now
calculated in terms of minutes
of flight by light plane, which
has come to be the every-day
form of transport in the roadless
hinterland of the mountains.
Today, the royal houses of
Laos and Cambodia have both
survived the 90-odd years of
French protectorate. In Cam
bodia, Prince Norodom Sihanouk
stepped down from the throne
and took the title of head of
state. But the last successor of
the Hue emperors, Bai, abdicat
ed in 1945 and now lives on the
French Riviera while Viet Nam
is under republican government,
Few neighboring monarchies
are more different in character,
than Cambodia and Laos. Prince
Sihanouk of Cambodia is an ex
trovert, a modern temporal
statesman who attends sessions
of the United Nations at the
head nf his country's delegation
and tirelessly travels about his
own small land in search of new
facts and new possibilities for
raising living standards.
King Savang Vatthana of Laos,
on the other hand, is a retiring
ascetic, little given to their poli
tics or enjoying life as Sihanou
is. King Savang Vatthana suc
ceeded to the throne in October,
1959, on the death of his father.
King Sisavang Vong, who at
that time was the longest reign
ing monarch in the world (54
years).
President Ngo Dinh Diem In
South Viet Nam and President
Ho Chi Minh in North Viet Nam
both aspire to the goal of re
unifying the country, divided
along the 17th parallel. The
North Vietnamese, are as effec
tively separated by the present
partition as the people of East
and West Berlin.
The Viet Minh, whose guerrilla
units defeated the French expe
dilionary corps a decade ago at
Dien Bien Phu in the Vietna
mese mountains near the north
ern Laos border in one of the
most desperately conducted
sieges of modern times, pro
ceeded to infiltrate the south
and to create a new guerrilla
underground, called the Viet
Cong. Today, Vict Nam is still
a country at war, as it has been
since 1940.
