The Written Word
ttlW/RITK TODAY to those away.” You’ll be
▼ ▼ seeing this thoughful advice on posters in post
offices, railroad and airline terminals — in fact, most
everywhere you go.
The purpose is to remind you to participate in
the 21st annual observance of National Letter Writing
Week, when it is hoped the sound of pens in motion
will be heard from October 5th to 11th (inclusive)
and from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon (also
inclusive).
Even though a postage stamp costs more than it
used to, a letter still remains the most economical
visit to a distant friend and is likely to be even more
lasting than one made in person. Oddly enough, a
letter is frequently more personal than a face-to-face
visit, since personality is revealed more often in
writing than in speaking. And, of course, to make a
letter really individual, it should be in the author’s
handwriting.
And, speaking of authors, it is worthy of thought
how often the world’s great — from the ancient Greeks
to the present day — are remembered by their letters.
And you may be sure that the biographers of the
famous — authors, statesmen, soldiers, philosophers,
scientists and businessmen — first steep themselves
in all the personal communiques of their subject that
can be found. Spoken words vanish quickly on the
empty air. They may be easily misunderstood. And
even when transcribed, their warmth and personal
revelation seldom approach the emotional and philo
sophic depths so artlessly achieved in writing a letter
to a kindred spirit.
And even if you do not expect that scholars will
one day be searching attics and old trunks for your
letters, there’s still another good reason for writing.

Nixon Raps ,
Demos. In
Oregon Speech
PORTLAND, Ore., UPi — Vice
President Richard Nixon told a
cheering crowd of Republicans
here that a vote for Democrats
in the House or Senate is a vote
to raise taxes.
It is also a vote “to cheapen
your money and to stifle the new
investment and enterprise which
means more jobs and more prog
ress for the American people,”
Nixon told a bargain-priced —
$49.50-a-plate—Republican fund
raising dinner here Friday night.
The speech leveled a few shots
at former President Harry S.
Truman, Sen. Wayne Morse (D
Ore.) and former Democratic
Presidential candidate A d 1 a i
Stevenson.
Then Nixon reiterated his de
Ifense of the Eisenhower Admin
istration’s policies on Formosa
and the offshore islands.
Nixon commended Trpman for
his support of President Eisen
hower in the Lebanon and Que
moy crises. But he said the for
mer President had been misrep
resenting and distorting the rec
ord of the Administration on
other issues.
Nixon said Stevenson had sug
gested a plebiscite to allow the
people of Formosa to choose the
kind of government they want.
The vice president said there
would be more justification for
such an election in Red China,
Hungary and other Iron Curtain
countries.
Nixon noted Sen. Morse had
called for the impeachment of
President Eisenhower and Secre
tary of State Dulles for their con
duct of foreign policy. Such an
impeachment resolution, Nixon
said, would get one vote — that
of Morse.
