LAKEVIEW ThiSTimazinr-town of 2400 per
sons turned out a crowd of 4000 or mora
for the commissioning of the naval auxiliary
air facility at the Lakevicw airport Sunday, and
the ceremonies were staged in
metropolitan style.
How they do it only Lake :
county people understand, but i
it is widely known over Ore-
son and the Pacific coast that
Lakeview is a miracle town ;
in matters of hospitality and ;
civic doings.
This writer will never for-i
Set the initial meeting of the
Order of the Antelope back in
1932, when food, bedding, gas-1
ollne and other supplies for
100 men were hauled over unbelievably tough
mountain roads to a remote high desert spot
where the "convention" was held. Most of us
consider it a hard job to arrange for a conven
tion in a city where there are hotels and res
taurants, but Lake county folk for years staged
highly successful conventions 75 miles from the
nearest hotel and what a 75 miles!
i Well, that was the spirit that prevailed in
the planning and execution of Sunday's com
missioning ceremonies, which were in charge
of the Elks lodge. The Elks arranged a special
ritual for the occasion, and the lodge officers
memorized their parts. The Singing Sentinels
of the Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation yard at
Portland, and local school talent, provided the
music, and the whole thing was carried off in
fine style.
But the remarkable thing was the crowd
totaling probably two times the official census
population of Lakeview. A newly constructed
dirt road provides access to the field, and cars
were stretched along that road for miles,

Community Asset
THE Lakeview facility is not especially im
pressive in size and appearance as compared
with bigger air stations elsewhere, but Lake
view people are justly proud of it, for it means
'kfine airport development that could not other
wise be achieved by a community of that size
without a heavy debt burden. At the same time,
it gives Lakeview a small military installation
and a chance for that type of contact with the
war effort. I
Re-fueling and re-arming planes based at the
Klamath naval air station is the principal f unc-
tion of the Lakeview facility. It is to be en
larged with expenditures of about $300,000, and
the added features will be a control tower, nan- -gar,
and bigger warm-up apron.
The excellent field at Lakeview may con
tribute to an important transportation rela
tionship with Klamath Falls in the future when
commercial aviation is expanded. The two cities
have always had close trade relations, which
may be intensified by quick air travel between .
them.
- This writer was fortunate enough to ride to
Lakeview in one of the planes that came over
for the commissioning. It took us just 23 min
utes from' Klamath to Lakeview. It is a journey
. that offers sights both interesting and beautiful,
and the traveler making it for the first time is
impressed with the many lakes and ponds that
dot the landscape. Such water is in sight for
the entire distance.

That is in honor of Dr. Michael Suit, Lake
view dentist who pioneered aviation there and
is now a prisoner of war of the Japanese. Dr.
Suit went early into active service in this war
and was taken in the Philippines.
' He is an enthusiastic flier who hopped over
the high desert country with great delight and
promoted a great deal of local interest in avia
tion here. I have seen his plane land on the
dry bed of Spanish lake, high in the Hart moun

Football and Planes
YOU'LL be interested in this little story.
While we were waiting at the airport for
the return plane, three torpedo bombers came
mho me neia. Tftey taxied around to the warm
up apron and lined up. The motors stopped and
the filers climbed out.
One of them immediately produced a foot
ball. The fellows peeled off their flying jackets,
and for the better part of an hour while the
planes were serviced they tossed and kicked
that football around, taking passes on the run,
. kicking off, and doing Just about everything but
tackle on the hard-surfaced apron.
Here were these American boys, engaged in
the grim business of war, with the armed ma
chines of war standing right there with them,
spending their spare time in the innocent and
thoroughly American pastime of tossing a foot
ball around. It reminded us that, despite the
awful duty which these youngsters must per
form, they are after all just American kids at
heart.

Can't Be Done
LET us conclude this column on the note on
which it started paying tribute to the
heart-warming hospitality and good will of the
people of Lake county. It is getting to bo quite
widely talked in navy circles, for it is unlikely
the navy has iny facility anywhere in a place
like Lakeview.
This writer has participated in efforts at
Klamath to repay Lakeview hospitality in kind.
It can't be done.

News Behind the News
, By PAUL MALLON
A ASHINGTON, May 21 The final destruc-
YY tion of the intellectual position of the
progressive education trust has been accom
plished by the Birmingham, Alabama, Teachers
association bulletin.
What happened there is a
typical example applicable in
varying degrees to the rest of
the country.
The trust crowd was power
ful and dominant and went af
ter mo roughly for my persist
ent proofs that they had
broken down discipline and
scholarship in the schools and
weakened the country intel
lectually with their disregard
of facts-and-figures education, MALLON
and their "greater-fxeedom-for-pupils" system.
An assistant superintendent, Theodore R.
Wright, went before a First Methodist church
forum with the most preposterous conceivable
accusations against me although I received
my fundamental education in his elementary
schools there thirty odd years ago. He went to
the right place to make such scurrilous and piti
ful defense of his new system, because the crime
of progressive education is equally great against
all churches, and all religion.
You cannot teach free-running children to
practice self-indulgence in the schools, and ex
pect them to be good Methodists or good any
things. The theories of self-indulgence and re
ligious self-discipline are incompatible. I will
handle him and his kind later in detail.
They turned my newspaper there against me
with deceptions. A local columnist named
Feidleson wrote that I was a rather despicable
person anyway because I was against the New
Deal (presumably the one Mr. Roosevelt an
nounced was dead many months ago). One edi
torial writer twisted my remarks to make it
appear I was against the teachers, trying to
get the teachers to turn against me. Although
the newspaper has published my column . on
page one, column one for 12 years, the editors
were forced or' induced to remove it to an in
side page, as if to let the trust say:
"That will finish you, young fellow."

"He said raffling off those antiques in the attic was an
idea he got at the church bazar, so I let him off with a
lecturer'.
Practices of Villainy
DO you recognize these tactics? They are the
common practices of villiany, the corrupt
tactics of political machines, the kind of Intel
lectual dishonesty, you hardly expect of men
'assigned to teach ' truth and honor to the chil
dren of the nation.
But they are also signs of weakness. If they
had any sound ground on which to stand, they
would have displayed it, yet not a single inclina
tion for honest denial of my facts appeared.
After all that campaign, the. Birmingham
Teachers association bulletin has just completed
a poll of teachers there on the question:
"Do you in general agree or disagree with
the Paul Mallon articles on education that have
recently been appearing in the daily press?"
Every tenth teacher whose name appeared in
the telephone book was called and assured her
name would not be divulged. The bulletin says:
"Four of the teachers hesitated to give their
decision, until reminded no names would be
used, then said:
" 'Oh well, I agree with Mr. Mallon then.' "
see
Poll In Agreement
THE poll showed 79 per cent of the high'
school teachers in agveement with me, 22
out of the 28 polled. Only three disagreed and
three would not commit themselves.
, Of the 50 elementary grade teachers called,
22 were favorable to my position, 16 unfavor
able, and nine on the fence. The BTA bulletin
comments:
"In general, those who taught the lower
grades were nearly unanimous in condemnation
of the Mallon articles, while those who taught
the higher of the elementary grades were more
likely to agree with him." ,
As a whole, 56 per cent of the teachers
agreed, 24 per cent disagreed, while 19 per cent
said they were not familiar with my articles or
that they were on the fence and could not say
either way. In short Mr. Wright's own teachers
deny him. ,
