Immaterial, 4 A NOVEMBER 15, 1963 Forests Prime Evil The advent of the relatively inexpensive and versatile motor scoo'ter and power bike has brought new headaches to forest agencies. These remarkable little vehicles can go al most anywhere on trails, across-country, along narrow foot bridges. Equipped with one of these, a sleeping bag, and some rood and gear, one can gain ready access to almost any part of the forest. They have some advantage over horses, too. They're a bit more comfortable, they don't create any sanitary problems around campgrounds, and you don't have to feed them when they're not working. They get upwards or iuo miles to a gallon of gasoline. DUT they're noisy. And therein lies the chief objection to them an objection which is voiced bitterly by the back-packers and horsemen who like their out-of-doors ouiet and peaceful, uncontaminated by the fumes and the shattering racket of the motors. Some nature "purists" also will admit to prejudice against the vehicles simiply because they make it too easy to get into the forest re cesses. The hikers think that you can't really enjoy nature unless you work up a sweat getting there. FINALLY, they object to the antics that some scooter ridel's perform acts of rudeness and thoughtlessness in the maneuvering of the little contraptions; such things as tearing arouna campgrounds at all hours of the day or night, scaring horses, and forcing others off the trails. They also, some claim, do damage to trails and meadows. " So there is no peace nature lovers and those On the other hand, tehd, rightly, that only a minority of their num ber is responsible for the acts of bad citizenship that give all a bad name ; that the damage they do is minimal, and certainly no worse than that caused by horses' hooves; that they have as much "right in publicly-owned that it's no one's business there.. WE SEE validity in both sides of the argument. We a rp also rnnvincp.d that about two- thirds of the basis for the argument would be eliminated if the scooters and cycles could be silenced by an efficient muffler. They AKE noisy (and why police depart ments don't enforce the against the scooters has DU oistui'D tne peace ana quiet, 01 nature s out- of-doors. They DO scare horses and bother peo ple. They ARE safety hazards in some localities, But if they could be age automobile, or as the many ot the objections THERE are areas of the forest where scooters should be forbidden to enter. The same applies to horses. (The recently rebuilt Rogue River Trail has been made off-limits for both.) On the other hand, point when they say they why should they be kept In our view, hikers, people are simply going to have to learn to live with one another. And living together would be made far easier for everyone if the noise problem were to be solved. This would make the now the forest's prime evil tolerable. E. A.

These tangible differences make a differ ence not only to the individual, but to everyone, in terms of economic health, ability to pay taxes, and all the other things which a successful person contributes to society. AS THE general educational level increases, the differences are apt to increase between the persons with an education and those without, because of the increasing demands for skills in an increasingly complex society. On the other hand. U. S. Commissioner of Education Francis Keppel pointed out the other eage 01 tne sword, the lact that it will continue to become harder for a non-graduate to find a job, and to hold on to it.

Homecoming Success To the Editor: On behalf of Southern Oregon College, the Homecoming Committee wishes to express sincere appreciation f your excellent coverage dur ing Homecoming Week. We can proudly say that this was the most successful Homecoming in the history of our college. We are pleased to have set this precedent but certainly with out your coverage, Homecoming '63 would indeed have been lack ing. The success proves that the Medford Mail Tribune is an out standing medium of communi cation. Estimates by college officials indicate that large crowds at tended all events, making each event a success in Itself. To the general public, we extend our gra'itude for their interest in this annual collegiate activity. We hope that they will continue to express their enthusiasm for SOC at the 1964 Homecoming.

Taxes To the Editor: The working class citizen has been benumbed so long by exposure to "what is good for him" in newspapers and magazines with political leanings and by the false prom ises, fence - straddling and double - talk of political office holders and office seekers, he just doesn't know which way to lurn lor help. Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer, I plead with you, go to the polls come election time. One lone citizen upstate with foresight, guts and determination showed you what could be done if you all stuck together. Stay togeth er for your own protection. Let's start by cleaning house. Let's put some new blood some p ople with the interests of those who pay their salaries in the county courthouses and m the statchouse in Salem. Have you read in your local paper whore our esteemed speaker, Mr. Clarence Barton, opposes a plan to use 35 per cent ot a 3 per cent sales tax (yet to be presented) to offset any property tax relief? "Leave property taxes alone," he says. What do you mean "alone," Mr. Barton? Don't you realize you people in the statchouse h a v e dried up the lovely cow that so patiently and resignedly Rave you sustenance for so many years? Our current property taxes aro comparable to Cali fornia's and much much higher than Washington's if you doubt this, check with random properly owners In Josephine county whose taxes hove been raised a ridiculous 20 per cent this year. We are all quite aware that our neighboring states have a sales tax. If the voters go to the polls to vote on a sales tax MEDFORO MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, come next May, they'd better take time to read the fine print on the ballot. We all know unless there is a definite place on the ballot that clearly and sans mumb-jumbo, states the sales tax will be used to offset the fantastic millage we are forced to pay for education through our property assess mentswe'll wind up with con tinued property tax raises, the same or higher income taxes, AND a sales tax. Mr. Barton says he believes "the people do not want new taxes." Boy, now there you have the understatement of tie year. Oh yes, the proposal to cut the legislators' salaries in half is certainly appropos. A cut all around tne state salaries witn considerable emphasis on office holders would alleviate a little of the burden so heavy on the shoulders of the taxpayers. John J. Murray 225 Mountain View Place Grants Pass, Ore. No National Holidays To the Editor: With all due re spect to Mr. Herman Lee Wood's (of Grants Pass, Oregon) views concerning the special session of Oregon legislature called for Nov. 11, 1963 (letter to the ed itor 11-7-63), I hope he'll forgive me for pointing out that Nov. 11 is not a national holiday and never was. As a matter of fact there are no national holidays in these United States of America. Michael Dale 759 S. Mountain Ave. Ashland, Ore. O Editor's note: Mr. Dale is cor rect.

They are designated either by legislative enactment or executive proclam a 1 1 o n There are no national holidays in the United States." Big Job To the Editor: I have a sign in my garden, "Take Time To Think." It is the most important thing to do today in the great unrest over the whole world. Let us all meditate in the si lence of God's presence. Heb 12:14, "Follow peace, with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." Everywhere you see the truth. "What a man sowcth that shall he also reap." We see the result of nearly all European countries who had colonies in Africa and Asia, including the communist revolution. I read a wonderful article in the World Healing Crusade by Brother Conrad. "The Temple of Solomon." When the mind be comes the temple of God, then all God's children are at home in it. When we are no longer identified with our person but identified with all God's chil dren, we are reaching a unique spiritual identity which is dis tinct from identity through the personality. The mind becomes God's temple by casting out the money lenders. If we ask God to help us to mold our minds tor His use and for the sake of everyone else, then we are in partnership with Christ, and the money lenders will be driven out for good, for we will be no longer dependent on thorn. The money lenders in the tem ple of the mind are those thoughts which we are shown by God to be less than divine. They are the uncharitable, unillu mined and proud thoughts, thoughts of judgment and self abuse, thoughts of self indul gence, of appetites fulfilled and of material gain; they are the impatient and untidy thoughts of the restless, the dark thoughts which are allied to some human weakness, to cry out loudly against conscience and the still small voice of God; and they OREGON All But Off Another Term as President of France By PHIL NEWSOM LTsaJ UPI Foreign News Analyst It is now all but official. French President Charles de Gaulle, who will turn 73 this Nov. 22, will seek another term as president to carry him at least through 1970. the word comes from Let Us Ne'er Forget L. B. Whatshisname By Arthur Hoppe Ah, another nostalgic piece in that heartwarming series. 'Where Are They Now?" You know, it's the kind where we search out a once-famous man who is now living in simple ob scurity. And we always search out our beloved Vice President, L. a. Whatshisname. Which isn't always easy. As old-timers will recall, ever since he shyly retired to the anonymity of the Vice Presi dency, "old L. B. W.," as he's fondly known, has been gamely struggling to make a comeback. Mostly overseas. And he had one big triumph. At the height of a crisis, he went to Berlin on a Goodwill Tour, passed out ballpoint pens, ana made a lighting speech. Which almost caused World War III. Since then, reports have been rife that Mr. Kennedy was reluctant to send him on any more Goodwill Tours to touchy areas. A base canard. For he h a s only just now completed another triumphant Goodwill Tour, ob viously designed to heal grave rifts in the Western Alliance. And this time Mr. Kennedy sent him, as a clear demonstration of his trust and confidence, to the Grand Duchy of Luxem bourg. w It was, of course, a delicate diplomatic mission. Details, naturally, could not be revealed. All that is known publicly is that our beloved Vice President was greeted by a crowd of happy Luxembourgers, to whom he gave red and blue ballpoint pens. And he was then whisked to the palace of Luxembourg's ruler, Grand Duchess Charlotte, to present her with "an official message from President Ken nedy." Who doesn't trust the mails. The scene, fraught with ten sion, can only be hazarded at: Howdy, there, Duchess. Have a ballpoint pen." 'Please, Mr. Vice President. Enough formalities. We are a small nation, but a proud peo ple, willing to fight if we must. What message do you bring? Will it be peace? Or will it, God forbid, be war?" are alt tnose mounts wnicn have no beauty. Solomon asked God for wis dom and understanding and built his temple for God and those who entered it were blessed with God's love and wis dom. This is a part of the arti cle. I have gotten a great bless ing from it, so I wish it for everyone. We must remember thouhts are living things. Sola think it over,. what a big job we have on our hands. Henry Burmcistcr P.O. Box 303 Jacksonville, Ore. Closure Opposed To the Editor: The following letter has been sent to the Stale Game Commission: This letter is written in refer ence to the proposed salmon fishing closure affecting that area above Elk Creek on the Rogue River. Mr. Ed Schwartz, S.W. district fishery agent, informed me that this measure was designed to protect the salmon from harass ment and to help decrease snag ging activities. The harassment part of this measure has no foundation at all because of the fact that during the salmon season, March 23- June 30, the fish remain in the deep holes and will not start nosing around in the shallows looking for suitable spawning beds until mid-August, therefore eliminating any chance of har assment wh tsoever. Snagging, however, has be come a problem on the upper Rogue as well as on the lower river. This can all but be ehm inated by the passage of a bill prohibiting the use of treble hooks in the taking ot salmon Also a stepped up program of law enforcement would help matters considerably. These two measures, if acted upon, would lead to a much more favorable relationship between the game commission and general public than the closure of this stretch of river would produce. If the closure measure is passed, the results would be: 1. Overcrowding of available icial: De Gaulle Will Seek sources close to De Gaulle and is significant for two reasons. De Gaulle sees no one ca pable of succeeding him in the years which he regards as cru cial for France and Europe. The North Atlantic Treaty, signed in 1949, expires in 1969 and must be renegotiated. De Gaulle believes the NATO treaty must be refurbished to meet the changing times, in cluding the fact that by that time France will be a full fledged nuclear force able to strike both by air and from Polaris-type submarines. "Now there, Duchess, don't get all het up. I got it right here. Somewhere. Let's see, identification card, next of kin. White House parking permit (me and Jack, we re like that), credit card for the Quorum Club (I thought I burned that) . , . Here it is. Wait'll I get my specs on. Any photographers around? Good. Now then: 'The U. S. of A. (that's us) has no territorial ambitions in Luxem bourg.' That's you, I reckon." "Heaven be praised. On, Mr. Vice President, you are a mas ter of statecraft." "That's mighty kind of you to say, Duchess. In return allow me to pledge us Americans' lives, fortunes and sacred hon ors to defending this here won derful country of . . . ah . . ." "Luxembourg?" "Right you are, Duchess. Have a ballpoint pen." Well, skeptics may sneer. Cynics may snideiy contend Washington's faith in old L. B. W.'s marksmanship as a trou bleshooter is limited. But that's nonsense. Look at the teensv targets they give him. Moreover, it cannot be denied that peace reigns today between America and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. And I feel a grateful Nation should forever enshrine in its memory the hallowed name of Vice Presi d e n t L. B. Whatshisname. Wherever he is now. In the Day's News By FRANK From Washington: Walter W. Heller, President Kennedy's chief economic ad visor, told senators yesterday that "we are unlikely to find a better time to cut taxes (without cutting spending) than right now." He went on to say: "Right now, expansion is oc curring at a good pace, busi ness confidence is firm, and the stimulus of the tax cut (without cutting spending) will reinforce a strong existing mo mentum." TUT- " He testified "The chances that the present economic expansion can contin- House Pays Tribute To Late Legislator SALEM (UPI) -Colleagues of the late State Ren. W.O. "Run" Kelsay, D-Roseburg, paid their respects to him in the Hoh Thursday as a legislator and a inend. The house stood a moment in silent tribute as it passed un animously a resolution expres sing deep sorrow over Kelsay's death in an auto accident in October. Many of the represenatives of both parties in the House stood to recall his ability, humility, and sense of humor.

An increase in illegal meth ods of catching salmon because of the scarcity of suitable fish ing water and the heavy traffic and pressure forced upon avail able waters left open to the pub lic. 3. A serious loss of income to those who have resorts, motels, cafes, sporting goods stores, etc. 4. General ill feelings of the public towards game commis sion policies. I would like to say that I am very much opposed to such a radical measure as this, as are by far the majority of citizens living in the upper Rogue vi cinity. I also would like a report on who introduced this bill and what specific advantages could be possibly gained by this act. Bcnard L. Nork Ben's Guide Service Shady Cove, Ore. , i Backed by a French nuclear force, De Gaulle believes, Eu rope then will be able to declare itself independent of the United States. This also would include Eu ropean independence of any two - way agreements reached between Washington and Mos cow. De Gaulle supporters believe that at least two recent events are proving the correctness of De Gaulle's attitude both to ward NATO and the question of Western negotiations with the Soviets. One was the unexpectedly heavy criticism of the U.S.-pro-posed multi-nation nuclear fleet which was encountered among European representatives dur ing a discussion of NATO poli cies. Predictions now are that the U.S. plan will be shelved indefinitely or at least until af ter British elections. The Soviet blockade of U.S. convoys on the Berlin autobahn also is being cited in support of De Gaulle s boycott ot dis armament talks with the So viets until all Soviet threats are removed. These, along with De Gaulle's concept of a future Europe, represent unfinished business which De Gaulle is re luctant to leave in the hands of others At home, a decisive demo- stration of the strength of the Strictly Personal By Sidney J. Harris (c) Tield Enterprises. Inc. IDEAS When Heine asked his coach man, "What are ideas?," the coachman pondered a moment and answered: "Ideas? . . . Ideas are the things they put into your head." Even today, most people might answer as the coachman did, for our formal system of education seems to consist of things put into our heads names and dates and battles and multiplication tables and the three principal sources of raw material in the Malayan Peninsula. Of course, these are not ideas. Ideas are what come out of the JENKINS ue through 1964 without an ear ly tax cut (without cutting spending) are poor so poor that the opportunity to take out anti-recession insurance (in the form of cutting taxes without cutting spending) should not be overlooked. He added: "In addition to possibly fore stalling a recession, a tax re duction (without reducing spend ing) will help to solve basic problems of unemployment and unused productive capacity." TUHS thought o If tax cuttin occurs: cutting (without cut ting government spending) is so WONDERFUL, why couldn't we latch onto it out here in Oregon as a solution of the problems that have arisen since the voters turned down the legislature's budget for the next bienmum? Why can t we just go on spending like drunken sailors for the next couple of years and thus wind up fat and rich and happy? " Why not go Uncle one bel ter and cut out taxes altogeth er? And, at the same time, DOU BLE our spending. WELL- TT Unfortunately There's a catch to it. The catch is this: Uncle can PRINT MONEY, and the State of Oregon can't. That's about the long and short of it. "I'll never understand 'cm they upend more Hme arguing about where to pray than they do praying!" De Gaulle leadership came re cently in the National Assem bly which approved both his record budget and large appro priations witn wnicn to build his nuclear force. But these were demonstra tions of De Gaulle's personal strength and not necessarily of tne uauiiisi party or ot unity of purpose. Within De uaulle s Union for the New Republic (UNR); for mer Premier Michel Debre, is making a quiet bid for political come-back and is said by do litical insiders still to hope that he may someday succeed De Gaulle as president. There is no indication that these hopes are being encouraged by Da Gaulle. In the patchwork of French political opinion, efforts to pre sent a united front of opposition to De Gaulle have been sue cessful only between the So cialists and Communists who voted in a bloc against his budget and nuclear plans. For the opposition to. Da Gaulle, the wedding of the So cialists and Communists might easily prove more a hindrance than a help. For such a union recalls unhappy memories of coalition governments of tha 1930's and the sad state of French preparedness at the start of World War II. As of today it's best to bet Ion De Gaulle. head. Nobody can put them there, although a good educa tion can stimulate them, organ ize them, and give them a solid basis in reason. Education, if it means any thing, is a drawing out; it is not a pushing in. The human mind is not a sausage casing into which we can stuff knowl edge; and, usually, the harder' we try to stuff, (he more rev sistance we encounter. This Isi why so much formal educa tion is a waste of time and energy. J A human being is a rcposl-' tory of ideas; the whole trick is to get these ideas out in the' open, to test them against re ality, to expose them to otherr ideas, and thus to sharpen and'; toughen them. ', The greatest flaw in formal education, in my opinion, is that it has little respect for. ideas and too much for infor mation. Children can get eas ily bored with information,! when it seems to have no rel-, evancc; but they are excited' and interested in ideas. , I vividly remember how the subject of zoology was ruined for me in school by teachers who were concerned only with classification and memorization of insects and such. No attempt was made to relate the subject to the other links in the great chain of life. Any real curiosity was considered almost an im pertinence. As a result, the bright students quickly lost inj terest, and only the dutiful par rots scored high marks. Nor was this merelv a defect in the teachers. It was, rathei their general attitude toward learning in my day; there is some evidence that it has im proved a little, but still not enough. The "dropout problem'; is largely economic and social but a part of it is also pedagogi ical, in that dead teaching turn! students away from the class room and toward more animated aspects of the human scene. ' Every child's mind is teem ing with ideas. Too often these ideas are systematically throt tied or strangled in the school system, which looks only for the "right answers" that are in the back of the book. What is in back of the head is rarely encouraged to move to th front. rxo 7 K
