THE LIGHTER SIDE:

Jit
4 Th Newt-Review, Roieburg,
Education is among the most dynamic
fields in American life today.
Roseburg is getting a strong taste of
some of the new concepts through its
participation in the Oregon Program
such things as team teaching and new
teaching devices.
But one of the most startling revela
tions to come up recently is reported in
a national magazine. It reports that chil
dren are willing to and can learn to read
as early as 2 years of age.
.The revelation was made by.B team
'of scientists exploring the learning proc
esses. They said the young child is ea
. ger to begin the art of reading almost
as soon as he is able to talk.
. The key, they say, is to make reading
.a game, even a reward.
This revelation will shatter a lot of il
lusions among those who
It may seem strange that fun poked at
a proposed national aquarium should un
, derlie danger that income of 18 Oregon
' counties may be curtailed, but it is a
fact.
., When Rep. Mike Kirwan, Ohio Demo
crat, proposed the aquarium to Congress
last year, Oregon Sen. Wayne Morse rid
iculed the idea. This made Kirwan mad
and he has been gunning for Morse and
Oregon ever since. He has opposed a
number of Oregon projects in which fed-
- eral funds were involved, and is now
'- seeking further vengeance by demand
ing a review of the agreement between
; the 18 Oregon counties in which Oregon
and California land grants are located,
on the one hand, and the United States
government on the other. i
;; Under this agreement the 18 counties,
of which Linn county is one, now receive
" three-fourth of the net proceeds from tim
ber sales conducted from time to time
by the, Bureau of Land Management,
- which administers these lands for the
yDepartment of the Interior. The remain
' ing 25 per cent goes to the government.
Representative Kirwan influenced the
House Appropriations Committee Thurs
day to cut the Bureau of Land Manage
ment's budget and to call for a review
of the formula under which these Ore
gon counties share in the Bureau's rev
enues. Representative KJrwan contended
that the counties are getting too, big. a.
share of the Bureau's timber sale rev--'
enues.
'-" If a review is ordered, it may take
' some hard fighting to convince the House
.', that Kirwan is wrong. And in that battle
Senator Morse can do us little good.
Our best hope lies in the fact that Rep.
Robert Duncan of the Fourth Congres

- In The Day's News
By FRANK
. -' As this is written, a dispatch
has just come over the 'Wires from
Washington "revealing" that
: OWYHEE, tho namo given to Ida
ho's southwest county, to a range
of mountains and to a river that
flows out of Idaho into Oregon,
where it furnishes irrigation water
for a rich agricultural area in Ore
gon's Malheur county, Is derived
from the earliest socillna of Ha
waii, our nation's youngest stato.
The dispatch goes on to say that
the story was "disclosed" In Wash
ington the other day in a report
from the office of 11. Max Hanson,
Idaho administrator for the Farm
ers Home Administration, to Ida
ho's Sen. Frank Church, who re
layed it on to Sen. Daniel K. Inou-
- ye, who is a good Democrat from
; HawaU.
'. According to Hanson's report, the
name or the nauves ot the sand
Z wich (Hawaiian) Islands was orig-
inally rendered from phonetics into
. English as Owyhee that being the
nearest anyone could come to the
! sounds made by the natives when
they pronounced it.
Since the Sandwich Islands were
an early, though rather out of the
way, stop-over point for food and
. water for English vessels headed
for the Northwest Coast of North
Z America, it was natural for some
- of these Hawaiian natives to be
; picked up and brought along.
Many of these "Owyhces" joined
trapping parties Into the Interior,
' and in the early 1800's three of
them were lost in what the Hanson
; report describes as the water
sheds of a largo unnamed river
Z and were presumed to have been
- killed by the Indians. The river
where this occurred, the report
- says, was named, in their memory,
tne uwynee llivor.
The Hanson report concludes by
. noting mat Island missionaries la-
ter chanced OWYHEE to HAWAII
and adds that "nowhere else does
the old spelling survive except to
; designate tne mountains and the
river in Southwest Idaho and Mai
; hcur county, Oregon." .
: Well, it's InteresUng.
But Mr. Hanson is a little prevl
; ous in assuming that his report is
. the first to bring all these facts
J Into the focus of history. Oregon's

any bill changing the aforesaid formula.
Kirwan is not on that committee.
Ironically, the appropriations commit
- tee, while slashing both the Bureau of
Land Management and National Forest
Service budgets, granted Representative
Kirwan's request for $260,000 for plan
ning Kirwan's proposed aquarium and in
effect increased it by adding $50,000 to
the Bureau of Sports Fisheries budget.
To a greater or less degree the reduc
tion of the budgets requested by the two
forest administering agencies will hurt
Oregon, which will not displease Kirwan.,
So Senator Morse didn't succeed . in
laughing Kirwan's aquarium down and
can't do us any good in the House. What
he can do in the Senate remains to be
seen, but inasmuch as this legislation or
iginated in the House he will be at a dis
advantage in trying to patch it up. Morse
may have been right in opposing the
aquarium proposal but he didn't ' use
much tact in doing so.
One would think from the attitude of
midwestern and eastern federal lawmak
ers that these O&C counties have their
hands in Uncle Sam's pork barrel. This
is not true, for the revenues they receive
from the Bureau are merely in lieu of
taxes they would have collected had
these grants remained in the hands of
railroads, and therefore on the counties'
1 tax rolls, instead of. reverting to the gov
ernment. ' . . . ;
Furthermore the fact that the counties
actually keep only 50 per cent of the
O&C income

Peter Skene Ogden, then on his

River country, reached Sandwich
Island River, so called, owing to
two of them murdered by Snake

be no doubt that the Owyhee River

this may even be ,a little too late to

The kindergarten movement is grow

Perhaps we are doing our children a
disservice by not allowing them to enter

Opinions From
No Benefit Indicated
For Dunes, Says Writer;
To the Editor:
With reference to the letter by
Elizabeth C. Ducey in The News-
Review recently, the writer seems
unaware of the fact that Oregon's
total 400 miles of beach, all lakes
and rivers, are now and have been
preserved (by law) since 1911 for
posterity and for free use and en
joyment by the public. Neither can
these resources ever ue cuuimu
cialized. '
The writer is in error in the park
propaganda seemingly repeated of
the survey team report and the
dates. The reports were completed
in March 1958, not 1959. No men
tion was made of Point Reyes, nor
was the pet park word "unique
used.
On page 87 of the transcript ot
the Senate committee hearing held
in Oregon, is a witnessed and cer
tified statement by the legally au
thorized survey team of four men,
headed by Ben Thompson and
George Collins, national park ex
nerts and directors. The statement
of Ben Thompson, March 15, 1958,
was "We find this area not suit
able as national park calibre. Only
sheltered areas suitable for tour
ists." A representative of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, a team
member, laid. "We will cease to
support a national park idea and
will continue our support to tne
soil conservation program."
No mention of Point Reyes, nor
was the word "unique" used.
As to the so-called "uniqueness"
of this area, I would not insult the
intelligence of Oregon coast resi
dents, citizens and tourists who
know this state, its beauty and its
developed assets, in saying that
this bit of it is superior in "unique
beauty to any other bit of the coast,
from the mouth of the Columbia
River to the California border.
I know my state, its beauty, its
developed resources and the sov
ereign laws protecting it.

Natural Resources Bill
To The Editor:
If the natural resources bill is
passed in its present form by our
state legislature, and signed by
our governor, we need a new legis
lature and new governor.
While many people disagree with
some of the policies of the state
Game Commission, just wait until
the Fish Commission gets control
of our sports fishery!
Starting with an abundant na
tural resource, the Fish Commis
sion, through its policies, let that
resource shrink until today the pub
lic, through taxes, is forced to fur
nish money to support the small
amount ot commercial nsning re
maining.
Regardless of what one may
think of the Game Department's
policies relating to deer, one is
forced to believe that the efforts
of the Game Department are re
sponsible for saving our anadro-
mous fisn irnm extinction.
If the policies of the Fish
Commission had been allowed to
continue until today, our streams
would now be as barren of salm
on and stcelhead as the sands of
the desert.

Major Change Necessary
For Saving Marriages
To The Editor:
In the May issue of True, is an
article about divorce as practiced
in this country today. The revela
tions are not new nor are they ex
ceptions to the normal divorce
court practice.
There are more than 15 million
divorced people in this nation. That
figure is increasing at the rate of
2,000 per day. There is no other
group or classification of people in
America today increasing as rap
idly as our divorced population.
This alone testifies to tiie inability
of our divorce courts to cope with'
the problem.
In Oregon alone during 1961 there
were 10,744 marriages and 6,01?
divorces.
More than 50 per cent of juvenile
delinquents come from broken
homes, while 75 per cent of prison
inmates were juvenile delinquents.
One of the fastest growing organ
izations today is U. S. Divorce Re
form, Inc., organized in late 1961.
It has charters in half the United
States, including Oregon. This or
ganization is dedicated to the cause

of making marriage safe in Amer
ica. Their desire is to have divorce
cases handled by experienced fam
ily counselers who will primarily
attempt to save the marriage when
ever possible and only when the
marriage cannot be saved effect
a fair divorce. The courts are not
qualified to handle divorce cases
and here the proof is in the pud
ding.
The damage to society is devas
tating. Divorces are contagious.
Children from broken homes tend
toward broken marriages. Style
conscious women lean toward this
new style.
As this letter is being written it
appears that Oregon may soon have
a marriage conciliation court
which is a step in the right direc
tion, but only a step. We need a
major change. ,

committee hearings on the defense
budget are- published in install

serial or, if you prefer, a soap
opera.
I eagerly look forward to each
new chapter so that I can follow
the latest adventures of Rep. Dan
iel J. Flood, D-Pa., who is my
personel hero of the hearings.
In the last chapter, you may
recall, "Silent Dan" unveiled an
ingenuous plan for the conquest of
Red China.
All we need to do, he suggested,
is persuade the Chinese army to
turn against its leaders and Men
persuade Russia to cooperate
with an invasion by the Chinese
Nationalists. Nothing- to it, really.
Demonstrates Versatility
In today's chapter, the master
strategist demonstrates his versa
tility by coming to grips with
military problems of a radically
different sort.
As we look in on the hearing,
Silent Dan" is interrogating an
Air Force officer about "boneless
liver."
His questions are being directed
at Lt. Col. D. J. Perkins, who
carries the tiUe of "General Sup
port and Services Division, Direc
torate of Supply and Services,
Deputy Chief of Staff, Systems
and Logistics."
How Perkins gets all of that in
his brief case is a mystery to me.
At any rate. Flood wants to

tion measure back to committee
a 20-7 vote Monday, they voted
to make consideration of the bill
a special order of business Wed
nesday. .
In another action, the Senate
defeated a bill to allow smoking
on air conditioned buses. How
ever, after the vote was an
nounced, Sen. Anthony Yturri, R
Ontario, announced he may move
to have the bill brought up again.
The move to send the work
men's compensation measure
back to committee for specific
amendments was spearheaded by
Sen. Don Willner, D-Portland.
Willner charged "this three-way
bill is bad for the public, bad for
the working man, and bad for the
small businessman.
"It is a $14 million a year
treasure chest for the insurance
companies and most of their prof
its will be spent out of Oregon,"
he said.

Some More Expensive
Perkins replies that some types
of prefabricated meat are more
expensive than other types of pre
fabricated meat. .
Flood: "What in the world is
prefabricated meat?"
Perkins: "Prefabricated meat
is boneless ..." - - --'
Flood: "Before you go any fur
ther, I had a type in here -from
the Army who read off a list of
meats he was buying using bone
less liver. I said 'boneless what?.'
'Boneless liver.' Is there any
other kind of liver?" ,.-
Perkins: "No sir.s I believe
what they meant, sir, as, is frozen
and portion-cut liver. All these
meats we refer to as prefabricat
ed, they are boneless, excluding
liver, boneless, frozen and portion
cut." "Silent Dan" parted company
with prefabricated liver at , this
point to explore the question of
why the Air Force finds it easier
to recruit nurses than the Army
does.
"Do you pick them with blue
eyes and they look better in a
blue uniform?" he asked. "What
do you have keep this decent
that the Army does not have?"
The answer was flight pay.
Flood moved on to servicewomen's
underwear. He told Col. Elizabeth
Ray, head of the WAFS, that he
was responsible for, eliminating
khaki lingerie.
"I wore them, sir," said Col.
Ray. "I am glad you did."
Pearson charged the . amend
ments called for by Willner
would create a monopoly insur
ance fund in Oregon."
Sen. Alfred Corbett, D-Portland,
urged sending the bill back to
committee. He said the proposed
new bill posed a threat to the
state insurance fund.
Sea. Ted Hallock, D-Portland,
opposed Willner's referral plan,
and denied that the proposed new
bill was a "three-way" :biU. , , ,
He said the proposal would pro
vide a 20 per cent .increase in
benefits to workmen, provide uni
versal coverage, and would en
courage better safety engineer
ing. . , . '
Sen. Len Newbry, R-Ashland,
said the real question involved
was whether "we want ,a state
monopoly or want to. allow- pri
vate insurance in ' the' field.". He
argued against the amendments,
charging it would make it a one
way bill. ,'.
