OCTOBER 7, 1M3 A Name for the Park The Medford City Council is to be com mended for turning down the proposed cemetery like name for the new park along Bear Creek. A search is now on for a name with "colorful and historic connotations." The best authority on Oregon Geographic Names is a book by that name, written by the late Lewis McArthur. About our city, he has this to say: "MEDFORD, Jackson County. Richard Koehlcr, a resident of Oregon for more than half a century and for many years operating head of Southern Pacific Company lines in this state, told the compiler that the town of Medford was named by David Loring who was at the time of construction a civil engineer connected with the right-of-way operations for the Oregon and California Rail Road Company. The railroad was opened to traffic from Grants Pass to Phoenix in 1884. The name was apparently applied shortly before that date. In August, 1927, David Loring was living in Portland, and in conversation with the compiler confirmed Mr. Kochler's statement. Mr. Loring said that while the form of the name was suggested by Medford, Massachusetts, he really named the new community in Oregon because it was situated at the middle ford on Bear Creek . . . The best authorities seem to agree that the name of Medford, Mass., comes from the old English words mead and ford, meaning a ford at a meadow. Mr. Loring may have had in mind a combination of mede and ford, in which mede is an obsolete abbreviation for medium, hence middle." How about Middle Ford Park? It is colorful. It has meaning. It has historic connotations. It is appropriate. And it brings into the present day the thoughts and intentions of the man who named Medford some 80 years ago. E.A. Text of Those who have been ers for trying to explain measure to be voted on printing the bill itself, should be happy to know that the full text is printed in the Voters Pam phlets which go to each voter before the election. Once they see it, perhaps they'll understand why the papers didn't couldn't, really print it. Soace is better employed trying to explain what will happen if it passed. h.A. Educators 'Blackmail' Many people are criticizing educators for what the critics call "threats" about what will happen to Oregon's higher education programs if the tax bill is defeated. Those who want to vote against the bill are bolsterinir their consciences bv a ereat show of indignation against such to be against blackmail, Curiously enough, this same rationalization was used by some legislators on the ways ana Means Committee to justify cuts totaling $650,000 in the Board of et recommended by the governor. A number or. ey legislators openly expressed a "we'll show those egg-heads" attitude. GOV. Mark Hatfield used no such excuse when ho crinnnpH S1K R07.1Sn nut. nf the Boad of Higher Education's request for the 1963-65 bi ennium. He just maintained that the board didn't need that money to keep the present level of serv ice. One might disagree with that, as we do, but it was a reason with some basis in statistical figures, not an excuse. Now. it is nonsense to "blackmail;" it is un-democratic to deny them their right to speak; and it is bull-headed and stupid not to at least listen to what they have to say. In the first place, the word "blackmail" hard ly applies to the statements of people who have no power to carry through. hand like every other slate-supported agency, first to the governor, then to the Legislature, and finally to the taxpayers for funds to carry out their programs. The word that applies to what they are saying about the effects of a tax defeat is "warnings." This is not just a semantic exer cise ; it destroys an irrational excuse. IN the second place, by what right docs anyone presume to muffle any other person wanting to speak his mind on a public issue? And in the third place, it really is ridiculous to try to avoid listening to the educators. There's a little sign that sums up this attitude: Don't Con fuse Me With The Facts; My Mind Is Made Up. That's funny on an office wall, but not so funny when it applies to the future of Oregon education. Finally, let's consider why the educators are issuing warnings. It's quite possible that a few of them are selfishly looking out for their own bailiwick. But the majority are professionals whose reason for existence is to help educate young people. VOU don't hurt these people much, materially, by cutting their budgets. They'll still get a good salary or they'll go somewhere else where they can. The better they are, the more they're in demand somewhere el to leave. What you do is to prevent thorn from doing their job as well as they'd like to; but even more, you deny their students the full advantage of higher education. Anyone who puts his own real or imagined needs ahead of better higher education is free to do so. But he can't convince us he's doing it in a noble cause. Capital Press, Salem.

School Quality To the Editor: In reference to the letters of Mr. Murray, Central Point, and Mr. Lee, Medford, pertaining to educa tors and education in general, I feel I have a right as a citizen in the community to put in an opinion or two. It seems tnese two gentlemen feel that the "rigid" education of their era was the best educa tion and that the philosophy of spare the rod and spoil the child" is the only way children are able to learn. I would question the amount of education these two gentle men actually received (not to mention whether or not they even enjoyed it). I would ven ture a guess that present fifth and sixth graders probably have more knowledge today (taugnt by present-day teachers) than these two gentlemen Knew wnen they finished high school if they went that far! 1 don t mind reading letters from citizens who do not abuse their freedom of speech, hut l am Quite Irked at individuals who complain about schools and teachers when I am certain these same Individuals have nev er stepped into a classroom to observe FIRST HAND the su perior type of teaching found in most of the schools of today.

Many of these voices have been stilled or muf fled but others courageously carry on whenever the rare op portunity presents itself. But soon it will be too laic! How can the One Worlders promise the earth's people peace and tranquility when their very method of accomplishing this end is being done with duplicity, corruption and revolutionary measures? Why can't the ever-increasing number of civil servants, the unions, welfare, all subsidies and bandwagon riders ask them selves how long the gravy-train will continue its run after the taxpayer has his back to the wall and foreclosure is the or der of the day? What small fry Ihey and their children will then become under United Nations and World Court.

Did He See It? ! To the Editor: In the Mail Trthiine of Oct. 1. Reo. Duncan j is quoted as saying that the j sign. "ANOTHER PORK BAR- REL DAM," bulldored in letters I 35 by 50 feet in size, was not j seen by President Kennedy on nis fly-over ot tne proposed dam site, and it is intimated that this was because of clouds over the site. Possibly the President did not see the sign because he was not interested enough to be look ing at the dam site, or perhaps some of those with him saw it MEDFORD MAtL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, first and directed his attention elsewhere, but it is certainly not true that he did not see it be cause of clouds. The Mail Tribune, in the ar ticle, stated that pilots who flew over the site prior to the Presi dent's flight reported the sign clear and our representatives, stationed right at the sign, and others living nearby said that there were no clouds overhead except at a considerable dis tance, and that the plane was clearly seen at its comparative ly low altitude. As one remark ed, "I could practically see him; why couldn't he see us?" Unless the air at that point acts like a one-way window. through which one can see out but no one can look in, it is hard to understand how the President, in two flights over the site, could have really ex amined the dam site without plainly seeing the very visible and descriptive sign.

There are a number of emo tions man experiences such as desire, anger, fear, pride, envy, joy, love, hat, regret, anmbi tion and piety. No one is blamed for feeling any one of these emotions, but only for certain ways these emotions are used. All these emotions used to ex cess are destroyers. Also smok ing can be over done or under done. All things in moderation are good. The most difficult task lor any individual is to choose the lesser of two evils. Humans are too prone to weakness to sense the difference, especially so when the tendency is choice be tween pleasure and pain. It is harder to choose than to pull a crooked slick straight. Regardless of choice ot two evils you still will be blamed for your voluntary choice. In voluntary choice under compul sion will be forgiven. So to smoke cigarettes with your friends is a class nf distinction. There is a natural abundance of tobacco necessary for health, such as will not fail its par takers nor their health. This later point is by no means a minor consideration. The supposed cause of dis ease is limited to mere ideas. It is all the more real for can cer exists in and on people and there are all kinds of diseases inflicted on human nature among both smokers and non smokers. The causation is from God.

What ever disadvantages may have inhered in the old system. I think that its break down has a significant rela tion to the widespread discon tent among young people and the increasing sense of for sakeness by old people.

They want at all costs to avoid provoking Ben Bella into seizing the Sahara oilfields, too. Macmillan's Future Political insiders say it still is a 50-50 bet whether British Prime Minister Harold Macmil lan will yield Conservative party leadership in advance of the coming general elections. Talk now is he is under fire in party councils not so much for staying on but for not making his own wishes clear. It is being argued that this is hamstringing party planning. On Macmillan's side it is said he is equivocating be cause he feels there is no agree ment on any one man to succeed him. More light on his plans may come when he makes the windup speech at this week's Conservative party congress. Red Feelers ""Berlin experts are on the alert for some probing moves by Communist East Germany after Chancellor Konrad Adenauer turns over his post to Ludwig Erhard. Rightly or wrongly, Communists feei there is a pos sibility Erhard will follow a more "flexible" policy toward the east bloc than Adenauer. East Germany desperately wants credits and trade with West Germany. One move might be to see whether some minor concession, such as permission to West Berliners to visit East In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS There was a revolution of some sort in Honduras, down in Central America, last week and we suspended diplomatic rela tions and cut off the foreign aid we have been extending to the Honduran government. There was a similar ruckus in Santo Domingo the other day, and we did likewise. TF THESE ruckuses continue, we may be able to save a lot of money. The dispatches inform us lhal. in the. past two years we've spent $18.2 million in Honduras alone. IF YOU have been listening tn thp rariin nnH TV rennrtnre you've perhaps noted that they call these affairs a COO. A COO of this sort doesn't mean the sound made by a coo ing dove. Anything hut. They are using a French word that is spelled COUP but is pro nounced COO. A coup can mean almost any thing in French which, inci dentally, is often referred to as the language of diplomacy. COUP means a blow, a knock, a stroke. A "coup de dent" means a BITE. A "coup de fu sil" is a gunshot. A "coup de main" can mean cither extend ing a helping hand or a slap in the face. "Tout a coup" means all of a sudden. "Coup" you see, can mean almost anything. In diplomacy, it's a handy word. T ET'S get closer home. You may have noted that Congressman Paul A. Fino, of New York, made some nasty remarks about Oregon in a piece he had printed in the Congres sional Record. In it. he said illegal betting in Oregon "pro duces a $250 million yearly treasury for underworld crime syndicates." And other disrespectful re marks to the same general ef fect. rjiHE Oregonian thinks there's A something fishy about Con gressman Fino's figures, and offers a guess that he never heard about Portland's Dorothy McCullough Lee. It then adds: "There used to be a lot of ACTION around Portland ... A big bookie joint (in thoie days) right next door to a couple of major banks. Up the street, over a theater, there was another one. Undoubtedly, there were many more. Chinese lotteries were everywhere, including sev eral within a block ot the police station." "But then." the Oregonian went on to relate, "the people ot Portland elected Dorothy Lee mayor. Now, Mr. Fino, a guy can't even invest a nickel here to watch the lights flash on and off on a pinball game." TWE Oregonian's remarks bring up a memory, i In those bad old days, a party ' from southern Oregon was doing a sightseeing tour of Portland. ! The party included Mac Epley. I then managing editor of the I Klamath Falls Herald and News As we were touring one of those dens of iniquity, we passed a crap table. Mac, never able to resist the temptation to wa ger a small sum. dropped a half dollar on the table and named his bet The crap table attendant push ed the four bits back with a contemptuous gesture and said wilh a scornful note in his voice: "Children not allowed in t h e place."

Our Next President Is a True Moderate afVaj By Arthur Hoppe trA The Liberals are furious with Senator Goldwater. And in their anger they're hurling a pretty vicious charge at him. The Sen ator, they say with outrage, is becoming more like them. "He has begun his Great Mu tation," cries the New Republic. And it says the Senator is no longer issuing clarion calls to abolish the income tax and farm subsidies or crack down on la bor unions. At most, he's de manding maybe "a complete study" of these problems. Which is a pretty wishy-washy clarion call. So the Liberals are accusing the Senator of forsaking his principles! (which they can't abide.) And coming over to their way of thinkingl (Which sounds disastrous.) Just because he wants tn be president! (Which is true.) It seems to happen every four years. The country's lousy with radical candidates from the left and right. Yet we always seem to elect a moderate pres ident. It's like the case of Dr. Albert Pangmire, the standard bearer of the Nudist - Commu nist - Vegetarian Coalition par ty. As you recall, a computer with a nagging headache, m i s- read a digit late in the c a m paign and announced Dr. Pang mire was preferred by 48.6 per cent of the voters. Reporters rushed" to Dr. Pangmire's head quarters in an abandoned gar bage scow to record his fearless stand on the issues in depth. Q Dr. Pangmire, if you'll pose for a picture . . . A Wait till I gel my trou sers on, gentlemen. There. Now my vest, coat, top hat . . . Good. Shoot. Q But, sir, as a practicing nudist . . . A True, true. I stand four square for nudism. In carefully THE INCOME TAX MEASURE This is one of a series of brief presentations of some little-known aspects of the income tax measure on which Oregon voters will decide at a special election on Oct. 15. A "yes" vote approves the law; a "no'' vote defeats It, leaving insufficient revenues for the 1963-65 bzudget. Cuts can only be made from less than two-thirds of the General Fund budget: higher education, mental and penal institutions, the state police, tax commission, welfare and natural resources. All "cuts" will reduce services, since state salaries cannot be cut. QUESTION I've been told everyone will have to pay at least $5 taxes. Is this true? ANSWER No. Only people having a taxable income over $500 and filing a return would be subject to the $5 or 1 per cent minimum tax. Over 84.000 no-tax-due returns are processed now. Many of these would pay the minimum tax out of refunds. QUESTION Why was this provision included? ANSWER Income tax controversies are largely a debate over who pays. Oregon has no sales or cigarette tax. Many people now pay no tax, leaving the burden on middle income taxpayers for all state services. For example, the state contributes $572 per year to local school districts for a family with four children, yet under the old law the family contributed nothing to state government in income taxes. Under the new law, a maximum of $30 would be paid. Even a small tax paid by a great number of people spreads the burden of taxation a great deal.

Q Can you sum up in word, then, the answer to this question: How do you stand, sir? A Moderately. Q Since when? A Since that poll came out. Unfortunately, the computer corrected the figure the next day to .0000468 of one per cent. Dr. Pangmire promptly took oft his trousers, raised the ham mer and sickle and marched off munching a stalk of celery. And he hasn't been seen since. Which all proves you can count on a politician to swear by his principles. As long as ho hasn't got a prayer. For the Liberals' sake, how ever, I hope the Senator proves the exception. For their sake I hope he gets elected, wrecks the economy and plunges us all into World War III. It's the only way he'll make them happy. r ' V
