Clean as a Whistle
Editor's note: The following editorial, written by George
H Bell, is his final piece of writing for the Mail Tribune. He
has accepted a position with the Portland Oregonian. While
in Medford, he has covered the city hall beat primarily, but
has also doi.. movie and drama reviewing, covered cham
ber of commerce activities, and occasionally written edito
rials. His work has been appreciated, not only by his news
room colleagues, but by those whose activities he has
reported. E.A.
There probably isn't a newsman alive who
doesn't dream about winning a Pulitzer prize
someday.
It is one of journalism's top awards, and quite
apart from the prestige
money in the bank in terms of one s career.
As often as not, the prize is awarded to a re
porter or newspaper which has managed to dig
up and expose some sort of vice or corruption,
frequently in government.
But any reporter who is assigned to cover
Medford city hall might just as well resign him
self to dreaming other dreams. There simply isn't
any graft to expose.
Medford city hall is clean as a whistle. :
1MAKE no mistake, the hall and those who
work in it have their critics, but then, who
or what in this imperfect world doesn't?
There are those in Medford who will tell
you they have first-hand knowledge that this or
that is wrong with city hall, or that so and so is
inefficient, a scoundrel or worse.
Perhaps, in some few cases, there may be
a speck of truth in what
even a small city administration like Medford s,
is a complicated, highly technical business, and
mistakes and a certain
are as inevitable as taxes.
But only those among us with negatively con
structed minds, or those
while remaining blind to
going to jump to extremes and issue blanket con
demnations.
DEORE you light into
- stand silent while someone else does, pause
to consider what it is and what it does for you
Think, for example,
as those fiendish men in uniform who show up
to write a ticket every time you violate a traffic
law, but instead try looking at them as your
neighbors who stand prepared sometimes at
risk of their very lives to protect your person
and property against harm.
Think of your firemen, not as men who sit
idly around the fire hall most of the time, but
rather as highly trained specialists whom you can
summon (at any time and in any weather) dur
ing a moment when only
dialing your phone. In addition, about !)00 chil
dren in Medford will have a happier Christmas
this year because the firemen chose not to waste
their "spare time."
DEGARD, if you can, the planning department
and commission, not as agents who gleefully
toll you that you can't build what you want to
build where you want to build it, but rather sec
them for what they are conscientious men
who are dedicated toward aiding Medford de
velop in an orderly, attractive manner.
View the park and recreation staff and com
mission, not as empire builders, but instead try
to think of them as citizens of Medford who are
working as hard for the community's future as
for the present, w ho want to insure that this city
will novel' be an asphalt jungle.
Contemplate that much maligned public
works department, not as a malevolent group
which delights in impoverishing little old ladies
with sudden, exhorbitant street assessments, but
rather as skilled people with the awesome re
sponsibility of maintaining and overseeing all
of the city's streets, sewers, traffic signals and
major physical improvements.

the betterment of their community.
Look at your city manager, not as the admin-'
istrator of waste and inefficiency, but rather as a
singularly dedicated man of unusual ability and
integrity who has given the bulk of his years of
life to this city and its welfare.
Strive lo adopt this point of view, not be

GASTRONOMIC 1Q
Looking through the new catalog of publishing firm, I
was tempted to paraphrase the famous words in Ecclesiastes
to "of making many cookbooks there is no end."
This was a catalog of books to be published In the coming
four months only. The new titles included "The Art of Spa
ghetti Cookery," "The Art of Danish Cooking," "The Best of
Near Eastern Cookery," "The Art of Indian's Cookery," "Bride
in the Kitchen," "The Art of Fruit Cookery," "Never in the
Kitchen When Company Arrives," and you won't believe
it "The Secret of Cooking for Dogs."
There is a saying among book publishers that it is im
possible to make money on a book of poetry and impossible
to lose money on a cookbook. Each year, hundreds of new ones
are spewed forth by the presses, to fit all conceivable (and a
few inconceivable) needs and tastes.
No other nation, at least lo my knowledge, has so volu
minous a literature on cooking and no other nation has
so many bad cooks, eicept perhaps Ihe English, of whom
Voltaire justly exclaimed: "What sort of country Is It that
has 72 religions and only one sauce?"
The poorest peasant In France eats better fond, more
tastefully prepared, than the average middle-class American.
It is absolutely unbelievable that a nation so rich, so In
genious, and so demanding of high standards in other areas
n( living would permit Itself to suffer Ihe Indignities of less-than-medlocre
cooking in nearly all public places.
Millions of cookbooks are merrily sold, but the level
of American ruisine remains deplorably low. Our children
grow up munching hamburgers, French fries drenched In
catsup, and washing down this dull mass with slckeningly
sweet beverages. To offer the ordinary American child a
meal composed with imagination, flavor and flair Is to
nnderstand the full Import of the Biblical allusion to casting
pearls before swine.
Oi - passion for cookbooks must be some elaborate and
ritualistic form of expiating our culinary sins; and has about as
much impact on our national cuisine as placing a Bible in
every room of a brothel would have upon the morals of the
inmates and the habits of the patrons.
Brillat-Savarin. in his immortal collection of aphorisms on
the pleasures o' the table, said, "Dis-moi ce que tu manges,
je to dirai ce que tu es." (Tell me what you eat, and I will
tell you what you are.") It may be unfair to judge an individ
ual this way. who, after all, is a victim of circumstance and
upbringing. But is it so unfair to judge an entire nation by
its gastronomic I.Q.?

Excuse my preoccupied look.
But I went to hear a speech in
defense of robots. It was by Mr.
(ierard Piel, the publisher of
Scientific American and one of
the most brilliant, articulate, en
lightened spokesmen our Scien
tists have got. And our robots,
too.
Mr. Piel said we laymen
shouldn't get mad at all robots
just because some robots are
taking nur jobs away from us
through automation. Which is
certainly true. Because, he said
with a Scientist's pride, robots
are at last relieving us from
the kind of mindlness drudgery'
"not fit lor men lo perform."
Which is certainly turc. And, he
said, we should send robots to
the moon. Which is certainly in
teresting. Mr. rid. like many Scientists
these days, said we should send
robots to the moon instead of
human beings, because robots
can perform this historic (eat of
exploration more economically,
more quickly, more accurately
and, above all, more efficiently.
And I'm sure he's right.

Remembers Winter
To the Editor: Yes, we do
remember 44 years ago Dec. 13,
it was Saturday, 1919. At that
time we lived on a homestead
two miles due south of Rogue
River. The thermometer at the
log cabin registered 10 degrees
below zero on two mornings.
We also had a fireplace and
kept tolerable comfortable, as
there was plenty of wood lo
burn at that time. At night we
could hear the tall and stately
fir trees everywhere pop and
snap all during the cold spell
that lasted a week. It turned
out to be one of the driest win
ters in half a century. It was
rather a dry winter for gold
prospecting as all available wa
ter on the mountain slopes froze
up for panning traces.

From Washington:
srriarv of Defense Robert
McNamara announces plans to
close 2R domestic military bases
in an economy move. He added
that President Johnson had
stressed to him that it is abso
lutely necessary to reduce costs
in part because of the need
to pass the tax bill.
rpHE Washington dispatches
A add that all heads of depart
ments and agencies have before
them a Presidential directive to
RE-EXAMINE personally their
budgets (or the next fiscal year,
which begins Julv 1. 1964, to
determine what FURTHER sav
ings can be made. The Presi
dent's memorandum directed
the department and agency
heads to:
1. Undertake a personal re
examination of the appropria
tions, expenditures and employ
ment figures contained in the
most recent tentative allowances
for the next fiscal year.
2. Identify these further re
ductions in appropriations, ex
penditures and personnel which
can be achieved through tighter
management and better utiliza
tion of personnel.
3. Determine what program
expansions can be postponed or
curtailed along Willi other ap
propriate steps to hold down
spending at a time of "severe
budgetary stringency."

Marking Time:
A lot of words can be ex
pected at the NATO Council of
Ministers' meeting starting to
day, but little action. No major
policy decisions are likely while
President Johnson still is in the
"settling in" stage. Talks will
range over the whole spectrum
of East-West relations, Berlin,
the multilateral nuclear force
project and East-West trade.
But, commented one official,
"the communique could have
been written in advance."

Asks Questions
To the Editor: President Ken
nedy's election has proven that
regardless of religion, one can
be the greatest of presidents of
all times.
As much wishful thinking as
we would like to do, can we
point to one good result of his
assassination?
Did the murder of an uncon
victed assassin prove any less
hate?
Was any less hate evident by
the fact that the owner of the
cemetery did not want him bur
ied in his ground because of a
threat that some relatives who
had their deceased buried there
would have them removed?
In our efforts to make the
widow of the slain policeman a
rich woman, why did we forget
the widow of the assassin? This
is a widow whose children will
bear the stigma all of their lives,
a widow who left her homeland
to come to a society filled with
hate.
Did the Reverend who left his
home because he made a state
ment on television that students
cheered on hearing of the assas
sination think there is any less
hate?
Would the editor of the Dallas
newspaper print this or would
he too have to go into hiding?
Did the senator from the South
that, a few days after the assas
sination spoke in favor of seg
regation, ever ask himself if
he thinks he has brought as
much happiness into the world
as our top Negro entertainers,
and who could be replaced more
easily?
Let those with racial hatred
quit preaching it to children of
common school age and young
er, and it would do no good to
preach it in college as they do
not brainwash so easily.
Finally there is little wonder
that a police force that cannot
protect a handcuffed unconvict
ed prisoner would be expected
to man a few roof tops or watch
a tew windows in a presidential
parade.

Letter From Japan
Expresses
An expression of sympathy
over the death of President
John F. Kennedy has been re
ceived by Mrs. Lois Martin, li
brarian of McLoughlin Junior
High School, from a teacher in
Japan.
The letter came from Kouki
Fukuda, a teacher in a school
at Arao City in Japan whom
Mrs. Martin met while traveling
In Japan a few years ago. Since
that time teachers and pupils
of the two schools have ex
changed letters, books, pictures
and other material in order that
each might become informed
about another country.
Fukuda also sent clippings
from a Japanese newspaper
with pictures of the assassinated
President and his successor.
President Lyndon Johnson. The
letter also tells of the mine dis
aster which occurred in that
area and which took a heavy
toll of lives, and several pic
tures at the scene were en
closed. Fukuda wrote:
Two Events
"I am very sorrowful to write
you about two events that hap

happened in Japan our country
and the other in America, your

"At 3:15 on Nov. 9, Saturday,
we were surprised at the noise
of the explosion which shook the
windows of our school. We did
not know what the noise was.
