Regional Roundup

When former Rep. John H. Rousselot, district governor of
the John Birch society, visits Medford next Monday, the occa
sion will serve as an interesting sort of "reunion" for us.
Before we moved to the Rogue valley late in 1901, we lived
east of Los Angeles in the 25th Congressional district of Cali
fornia, the district which Rousselot represented in Washington
for two years.
We worked for a daily newspaper within that district at
the time. In that capacity we met him on a number of occa
sions. We also served with him on the board of directors of
an organization in the area dedicated to aiding the men
tally retarded and physically handicapped.
John H. Kousseiot (pronounced "Roos-e-low" ) was elected
to congress in l'jfiO. He defeated three other Republicans in a
primary election and then went on to unseat a Democratic
incumbent by a pretty good margin. His affiliation with the
John Birch society, which, if our memory serves us cor
rectly, began some months before the elections, was not
publicly known at that time.
Society Membership Had a Gradual Effect
Some months after Rousselot took office, however, his
membership in the society, and that of another Republican
congressman in a nearby southern California district, became
known. This revelation did not change things very much for
cither congressman, at least, not right away. Both still per
formed' their duties much like any other congressmen and both
were still Invited to make the usual appearances and speeches.
But when election time came around in 1962, the Birch issue
and some reapportioning of congressional districts by the
Democratic majority in power in Sacramento caught up with
both men. The districts were reapportioned so that Republican
voter registration was reduced and Democratic registration
increased in each one. Because of the fact that the districts
were reapportioned in this manner, however, it is difficult
to tell just how much the Birch society membership factor
hurt each man at the polls.
Not long after Rousselot's membership in the society be
came publicly known, he began making frequent appearances
before anti-communist groups in southern California. Political
editors in the area were prompted to predict that if Rousselot
lost the next election, he might become a leading voice for
the John Birch society, because he was so much more "re
spectable" than Robert Welch, leader of the society.
The writers were correct. Soon after his defeat, Rousselot
was appointed to a high post in the society.
Makes a Favorable Impression
Rousselot is (or at least was when we knew him) a "re
spectable" person. A public relations man before he ran for
congress, he knows how to make a favorable impression on
people. Ho has a pleasing personality, speaks eloquently but
is mild-mannered. He's the sort of person you can enjoy
knowing, even if you don't agree with a word he says from
the platform.
We're not "for" Mr. Rousselot, nor are we "against" him.
There are people we like in both the liberal and conservative
camps. Our own views the few that we are very serious
about lie somewhere in between. Actually the only really
serious conviction we have is that this insignificant little life
time in which we are now living should be recognized for
what it is. We figure that human souTs have been around for
eons of time and will continue to be around for more eons
in a vast universe. We're in a classroom from which all of
us sooner or later graduate. What we do in this lifetime has
only relative significance.
We wouldn't rather be red than dead, nor would be rather
be dead than red. We see no necessity for choosing either of
these points of view. Never-the-lcss, for old time's sake, we
expect to be present at the Hoover school Monday night when
Rousselot speaks.

Wins Safety
Award Again

Elementary school has received
a certificate of Exceptional

the National School Safety
Honor roll of the National Safety
council, principal William Brew
ster anounced today.
This is the fourth year that
the school has received this
honor.
"We are encouraged by the
National Safety council's recog
nition of our efforts to build a
fine safety education program,"
Brewster said. "So long as ac
cidents remain the chief cause
of death among school-age chil
dren, we will continue to im
prove that program to teach our
young people to protect them
selves and their fellow stu
dents." The honor roll was initiated in
1014. To earn a place on it, a
school must present a detailed
report of its safety program to a
committee composed of the
school principal, the president
of the local parent-teacher as
sociation or similar group, a stu
dent, a local civic leader, and
the president of the local safety
council.
If this committee reports fav
orably, the National Safety
Council lists the school on the
honor roll and sends the school
a certificate of Exceptional
Merit.
Construction Of
White City Lagoons
To Start Dec. 23
By DOT SIMMONS
Mail Tribune Correspondent
WHITE CITY - The White
City Sanitary District board has
received word from the engi
neering firm of Cornell, How
land, Hayes and Merryfield
that construction of the dist
rict's lagoon system is now ten
tatively scheduled to start Dec.
23.
Completion is set for March,
1964. Some preliminary work
has been begun, such as prop
e r t y surveying, preliminary
study and test holes.
A consulting engineer will be
present at the Nov. 4 meeting
of the board to present final
plans. Following the boards ap
proval, the State Sanitary au
thority will aprove final plans.
Following this, bids will be ad
vertised. The bids will be sub
ject to the approval of the State
sanitary authority also.
The White City Realty has ac
quired a perpetual easement for
the land for the lagoon system
and in turn asked for a letter
to purchase property, as soon
as it becomes available.

Pacific st. and north of the

This allows a 300 ft. setback,
called "buffer strips" around
ponds, which the State Sanitary
authority requires. .
The White City Realty co.
states that in the district, near
the present village, the sewer
system's manholes are not now
covered. Orville Stone, the dist
rict's inspector, was appointed
to make a complete survey to
see how many covers are need
ed and the expense of covering.
He will present his findings at
the Nov. 4 meeting of the
district.
Representatives from Avenue

Chlorine Tanks
The council discussed the haz
ards involved in changing the
chlorine tanks at the city wa
ter reservoir, a job that is nec
essary about every eight
months. Councilmen agreed to
urge the city watcrmaster to
wear a gas mask at all times
even when just entering the
building in which the tank is
situated.
City Police Chief John Atchi
son was asked by the mayor
if rifles need to be registered.
The chief replied that rifles not
only don't need to be registered
but actually cannot be register
ed. On the other hand, hand
guns must be registered, he
said.
(According the the Jackson
County Sheriff's department,
whenever a hand gun is sold, a
copy of the bill of sale auto
matically goes to the depart
ment. This bill of sale serves as
the "registration.")
Police and Court Report
Atchison gave a report on the
performance of his department
during September. He issued 51
citations, among them 12 for dis
obeying stop sign, four for
wrong way on one way street, 28
for violation of basic rule, and
seven other miscellaneous. The
police car traveled 1,771 miles
during the month, he said.
Faye Carver, judge of the
Phoenix Municipal court, report
ed that the court received and
disposed of 43 complaints dur
ing September, all but one. of
them traffic cases. A total of
$732.50 in fines was assessed and
collected. No fines were sus
pended.
She reported that the court
has been experimenting with
giving some youthful offenders
work detail instead of a cash
fine. The council agreed that in
many cases a "fine" of hours
