CONSERVATION NEEDED NOW By Ctorge Castillo This is Conservation Week in the state of Oregon. It was officially launched Monday by Gov. Robert D. Wnlmp on the courthouse steps at Roseburir. Actually, such weeks have only the value as a reminder that the Ti-fiiMilar mihiect involved mav be worth recoenmwr. In my mind, many of the subjects on which such weeks are focused are not worth a reminder, but the subject of conservation is not one of these. Conservation or "wise use" of all the state's resources is due vear-around recoemition. It's apparent that the land and the water are the two most important areas over which man has a chance to practice conservation. Our wildlife, economy and our very futures rienend on the wise use of the land and water. Far too often in late years, however, signs of the mis use of these have become evident. The result has been a waste of these two most valuable resources. The water, of which the county has enough over a year's time to handle practically any future needs, roars to the sea in tremendous quantities in the winter and trick les in tiny streams during the summer. Land Ruined When the masses of water roll through the county in the winter, they gobble great chunks of the fertile soil from the edges of the streams. In the summer, when only tiny fingers of water mean der toward the sea, not enough is even available on several streams to fill water rights. Ren R. Irving, chairman of the Water Resources Advisory Committee, savs that if all rights were taken at once on some streams, they would be dry in the summer. These facts indicate anything but wise use of the re sources we have. Land Is ruined, precious water is dis sipated, agriculture is restricted and life is threatened. The very future itself is dependent on taking steps to make wise use of the two major resources. Agriculture is rec ognized as a strong economic building block in the future of the county by the Rureau of Reclamation, and it is work ing toward formulating plans for coupling unused, but fer tile, land with water for best use. Impoundments, which would store the excesses of water in winter for summer use, would also enhance the economic value of recreation, another economic plus. Finally, the vast economic resource of timber on which present livelihood is based, can continue as an everlasting bank of green gold by wise use. Controlled logging prac tices, sustained yield methods and close study for best uses of cutover and burned forest lands can help stabilize both land and water while the economy is being protected. Again recreation and wildlife will benefit. Steps Being Taken The steps of protecting the land and water are far into the planning stage in this progressive county through the workings of many agencies, but the tremendous strides necessary will only be possible so long as the people of the county support these efforts. This means cooperation with agencies making studies, support of policies determined after studies and recognition of the values of the efforts be ing made by such groups as the Water Resources Survey, advisory committees, conservation-minded officials and or ganizations. Dan Dimick, county Conservation Week chairman, said the emphasis this year will be on youth education "because they will be the ultimate custodians of our natural resourc es." The children, however, often appear to be more conservation-minded than their elders. Now is the time to push efforts to the limit to save our resources so that chil dren of today will have something to guard when they be come custodians. -Hal Boyle- NEW YORK l.fl Things a columnist might never know if he didn't open his mail: That although the work week of the average Russian has fallen from 48 hours to 46, he still labors longer for less than the citizen of any major Western power.

Dufek, com manding t'.S. Deep Freeze open lions in the Antarctic, his reveal ed the inside story of what was built up into I great race by two explorers to reach the South Pole this year. The two expedition leaders were Sir Edmund Hillary, 38, of New Zealand, conqueror of Mt. Everest, and Dr. V. E. Kuchs, 50. British scientist. Hillary got to the Pole first, on January 3, Fuchs, slowed down by thaws which threw him nearly three weeks behind sched ule, made it January 19. But Kuchs and his party of 12 had the distinction of being the first men lo cross the entire Ant arctic continent twice the size of the I'nited States on foot. IT WASN'T i race at all, though, says Admiral Dufek. The original plan was one of co operation. Hillary was to go in from Rosi Sea, south of New Zea land, over the route taken by Amundsen and Scolt. His assign ment was to lay supply bases for Fuchs, who was to explore a new route from Wedell Sea, soulh of the Soulh Orkney Islands, oft Cape Horn, South America. When Hillary established hii last Thinking It Over By Robert L. Ditfftnbacher, D.D.I (Written for NEA Service) I Seed catalogues have been view ed and read by many thousands of Americans in recent weeks. Many are still trying to decide on the seeds which they may wish to buv. i Scores of folki will give much attention to the pictures and de-, scriptioni of the flowers and plants but will never get around to buy- j ing the seeds and will forget to plant the tiny spheres in the ground. Those who plant no seeds will , have no flowers in their gardens. They will never see the reality de scribed in the catalogues. They will have failed to benefit from their1 reading ind from their untried plans. A multitude of people read the Rihle in much the same wiy that 1 they read Ihe seed catalogues. They ' are intrigued by the stories of faith and hope and love. They , read about the results of salvation and about the development of God's programs. Somehow they : never get around to accepting God. ' They never apply the principles. Their spinli never grow. j vou, you might recall this quip ny sir jamet Barn: 'Nothing That comic Georci DeWitt savi a yes-man is a guy wnn camnu. it really work unless vou would ",R!".h" c,m1ln", hoiRht with rather hi doing something else." t,T'd P'n'on.

Yesterday's honor wat for i heroism. base at mile 700. he decided to push on to the Pole. He found thi going tough. So he sent i message tn Fuchs, then still 300 miles the olher side of the Pole, advising that he be flown out and try again next year. This dispatch was supposed to be confidential, says Admiral Dufek. But it was made public in New Zealand. From this. an impression was given that there was a rival-1 ry between the two explorers, and (hat Hillary was trying to talk Fuchs out of making the race. Daily reports built up this idea. IN AN EFFORT to counteract this impression. Admiral Dufek I decided to fly correspondents in to Ihe South Pole base established by j the United States and supplied by ' air. , When Fuchs was a mile or two; from the Pole, I party went out to meet him. Fuchs greeted Hill iry wirmly, says Admiral Dufek. There were no hard feelings be tween them. Later Fuchs told Hillary that it was right for him to have sent Ihe dispatch, advising an end to the expedition. But Fuchs pointed out that he had gone into debt some 20.000 pounds to finance his explo ration. His men were on a year's leave. It would be impossible for them to come back next year. OPERATING PEOPLE in Ant-I arctica have paid no attentibn to rival claims of the various coun tries, savi Admiral Dufek. They don't discuss territorial claims. Everybody gets along, even with the Russians and vice versa. U.S. prestige has stood up well in the Southern Hemisphere dur ing the International Geophysical Year, says Admiral Dufek. This country announced in 19M it would establish sen bases, including a South Pole base, and it did. The Russians announced in 1955 they would set up a South Pole base, but they yielded when it was pointed out this would be duplica tion of effort. Instead, the Russians announced they would establish bases at the magnetic South Pole and at the "Pole of Inaccessibility," as Ad miral Bvrd called it. This is 14.000 feet high, in the center of the con tinent, l ast reports had the Rus sians still 500 miles from their goal. BUT THE RUSSIANS are ap parently in Antarctica to stav. So is the I nited States. The Geophys-1 ical Year ends December 31. how ever. Admiral Dufek will return to Antarctica in September to super vise cutting operatiobs more than half. Kidnaper Placed In Reformatory; Wedding Allowed Ol.YMPIA if - Convicted kid naper George Edward Collins has been transferred from the State Prison to the State Reformatory, Sidney Coleman, assistant state director of institutions, said Mon day.

Collins. 21. is presently it signed to the reformatory i re ception ind diagnostic unit. Coleman said Ihe transfer would hive no effect on Collins' mir ruge plins. Recently Garrett lleyns, itatt director of institutions. gae hit permission for Collins to marry 21-year-old Kathenne Meyers. Mn Meyert laid shi planned to wed Collins as soon as the couple t second child was born. Coleman said Don Wilson, su perintendent at the reformatory, had been sent a letter authoriiing the wedding, but with the stipu lation that the ceremony be per formed outside the institution Collins was ronncted of second degree kidnaping in the abduction of eight year-old l ei Crary in Snohomislji County last Sep tember Thi Mevert wnmm wat given I luspended lenience. (Continued from Pag 1) I Vice-President Nixon's European trip may be called off. That it to say: I It may not be a good idea to send our vice president to European capitals on a friendship tour be cause he might be heckled and in sulted and this heolflino an in sulting of a high American official might MAKE US MAD. That ii a pretty pass to be reach ed by a nation that has given some 60 BILLION DOLLARS of its treas ure to help out peoples who are less fortunate than u-e It calls for some rather ferioui ininxing on our part. This thought is advanced by those who support continued American aid spending in Europe and Asia and elsewhere in the older world: If we don't do it, RUSSIA will. not let Russia do it? Consider this possibility: It isn't wholly improbable that if we retire from the giveaway field and Russia goes into it in a big way the peoples who receive Rus sia's bounty will TURN AGAINST HER, as they have turned against us. W'e have proved rather conclu- aneiy in our loreign aid experi ment that you can't BUY friends. Why not? Let's put it this way: SlinDnc enma VITDV -ink - . prison from a distant state sent a member of his staff around to vou and that this person said to you, in effect: "Why. you poor thing, vou are in a had way indeed. AIv boss is ler ,ribly sorry for you. Here's $10,000. The only string attached to the gift is that you agree to be friends with him." I suppose you'd take the $10,000. But of this I'm certain: You'd be HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS of the do nor, and you'd watch him like a hawk from Ihen on. You'd wonder what he was up to, and vou'd be pretty sure he was up to no good. Human nature is human nature. Anyway We haven't had much luck with our foreign aid program. In spite of our sixty billions, we seem to have got everybody down on us. Why not let th Russians take i whirl at it? Dimick Backed By Man He Aided In Labor Rift Justice. Thit it just a little seven-letter word, but Oh! what a meaning it can imply when it it applied wrong. I wat almost to the point of de spair and to the point of believing there was no such a thing is jus tice lor the utile mm or the weak. And 1 mean by the "little man," the everyday working man who has to go out and sell hit labor. They tell ut this It a free coun try and tell us there it no big or small, no race or creed or color but that this is America, the land of free speech and equality. (In succcding paragraphs, the writer explains a difficulty he had on his job from which he quit. He claims he quit because he w a s forced to take a job against his will and against union contract. He says this led to difficulties which led to temporary disqualification for unemployment compensation.) Finally, in desperation. I called my state senator (Dan Dimick l and told him I didn't have any money to pay him but would like him to be at the hearing (of the stale un employment compensation com mission) to represent me. This he said he would do and did so. Now, here is where I started be lieving in the word "justice" again. 1 had a fair and just hearing where all the facts were brought out by Mr. Dan Dimick. whom I believe stands on just one idea and that is iust and fair treatment for each and every one big or small, rich! or poor as he did this for me with out compensation from me.

A 51-year-old Spokane man was found I sitting in his stalled car along the shore of Roosevelt Lake Sunday and he told police he had been there for a week. 1 Frank Nolan was taken to a hospital for treatment of exposure I and malnutrition Officer James McKillip said the man appeared "grnggy and weak" and told him he had been in the car since it 1 broke down May 4. He didn't say why he had stayed in the car for so long after the break down. we have got to hav people in our offices who itill regard the rights of the little people as well at the rich. I wish to point out the fact I had never met Mr. Dimick per sonally until two dayt ago when I went to him for advice. But this is one thing 1 know for sure. If he is elected circuit judge, I for one would feel it in honor to be tried in 1 court with him presiding is judge. This is on thing I would be lure of ind that is just and fair treatment. 1 would receive justice. Orbi Coplin Ri. 1, Box 374 A i Roseburg. Ore.
