2— Port Orford Newt, Thursday, April 21, 1966 GUEST EDITORIAL "Tired American" . . . Gets Angry I am a 'T IR E D A M E R IC A N ." I ’ m tired of being railed the "U g ly A m erican ." I ’ m tired of having the world panhandlers use my country as a whipping boy 365 days a year. I am a "T IR E D A M E R IC A N "— weary of having American embassies and Information centers stoned, burned and sacked by mobs operating under orders from dictators who preach "p ea ce" and breed conflict. I am a 'T IR E D A M ER IC AN” — weary of being lectured by G eneral DeGaulle (who never won a battle) who poses as a second Jehovah In righteousness and wisdom. I am a 'T IR E D AM ERICAN” . . . weary of Nasser and all the other blood sucking leeches wno bleed Uncle Sam white and who kick him on the shins and yank his beard If the cash flow falters. I am a • T IR E D A M E R IC A N " . . . choked up to here on this business of trying to Intimidate our government by placard, picket line and sit In by the hordes of the dirty unwashed who rush to man the barricades against the forces of law , order and decency. I am a "T IR E D A M E R IC A N " . . .w e ary of the beatniks who say they should have the right to determine what laws of the land they are willing to obev. I am a «T IR E D AM E R IC A N " . . . fed up with mobs of scabby faced, long-haired youths and short-haired g irls who claim they represent the "new wave" of Am erica and who sneer at the old fashioned virtues of honesty, Integrity, m orality on which Am erica grew to greatness. I am a ‘ T IR E D A M E R IC A N " . ..w e a r y unto death of having my tax dollars go to dictators who play both sides against the middle with threats of what w ill happen If we cut off the golden stream of dollars. I am a "T IR E D A M ER IC A N " . . . nauseated by the laxy do- nothings who wouldn’t take a Job If you drove them to and from work in a Rolls Royce. I am a ‘ T IR E D A M E R IC A N " who Is tired of supporting fam ilies who haven’t known any other source of Income other than government re lie f checks for three generations. I am a “ TIR E D A M ER IC AN” who Is getting madder by the minute at the filth peddlers who have launched Am erica In an obscenity race . . . who try to foist on us the belief that filth Is an Integral part of culture . . . in the arts, the movies, “ lite ra tu re ," the stage and the mobs who see Lenny Bruce as "brightly amusing’ ’ and Normal M ille r as “ com pelling." I ’ m tired of these “ a rtis ts " who scavenge In the cess pools fo r Inspiration and who refuse to look up at the stars. I am a "T IR E D AM ERICAN*’ . . . weary of the bearded bums who tram p the picket lines . . . and the sit Ins . . . who prefer Chinese communism to capitalism . . . who see no evil In Castro but sneer at President Johnson as a "th rea t to peace." I am a "T IR E D A M ER IC AN” who has lost all patience with that c iv il rights group which Is showing propaganda movies on college campuses from coast to coast. Movies denouncing the United States. Movies made In Communist China. I am a " T IR E D A M E R IC A N " who is angered by the self- righteous “ breast b eater" c ritic s of A m erica, at home and abroad, who set impossible yardsticks fo r the United States but never apply the same standards to the French, the B ritish, the Russians, the Chinese. I am a "T IR E D A M E R IC A N " who resents the pimply faced beatniks who try to represent Am ericans as the "bad guys on the black horses." I am a "T IR E D A M E R IC A N " who Is weary of some Negro leaders who, for shock purposes, scream fo u r-le tte r words In church meetings. I am a ‘ T IR E D A M ER IC A N " — sickened by the slack-jawed bigots who wrap themselves in bedsheets In the dead of night and roam the countryside looking for Innocent victim s. I am a "T IR E D AM ERICAN* who dislikes clergymen who have made a career out of Integration causes yet send th eir own children to private schools. I am a "T IR E D A M E R IC A N " who resents those who try to peddle the belief In schools and colleges that capitalism is a dirty word and that free enterprise and private Initiative are only synonyms for greed. They say they hate capitalism but they are always right at the head of the line demanding th eir share of the American way of life. I am a “ T IR E D A M E R IC A N " who gets more than a little bit weary of the clique In our State Department who choose to regard a policy of tim idity as prudent. . . the same group who subscribe to a "no w in " policy In Vietnam . I am a "T IR E D AM ER IC AN” . . . real tired of those who are trying to sell me the belief that Am erica Is not the greatest nation in all the w o r ld .. . a generous hearted nation . . . a nation dedicated to the policy of trying to help the “ have nots" achieve some of the good things that our system of free enterprise brought about. I am an American who gets a lump In h is throat when he hears the “ Star Spangled Banner" and who holds back the tears when he hears those chilling high notes of the brassy trumpets when Old Glory reaches the top of the flag pole. I am a “ T IR E D A M E R IC A N " ...w h o wants to start snapping at those phony "high p rie s ts ” who want us to bow down and worship th eir false Idols and who seek to destroy the belief that A m erica Is the land of the free and the home of the brave. I am a "T IR E D AM ER IC AN” who thanks a m erciful Lord that he was so lucky to be born an American citizen . . . a nation . . . under God . . . with truly mercy and justice . . . for all.

Every bit as big as at the lest Fourth of July celebration in die old town. There were cars and people everyw here.. . and the roar of powerful engines and the scream of tires. . . from about"S a. m. to 4 p. m. It was a top day for the event, too, weather-wise that is. For me it was something else. Being a member of the local sheriff’s reserve I had the dubious priv ilege of helping with the unit's chow concession. That in itself wasn't too bad.. . duty and all that, ya know .. . for the good of the service. Only thing was I had worked til about 2:30 a. m ., which didn't let me get to sleep until about 4 a. m ., then had to get up at 7 a. m. This is enough to shake the best of men. But it was necessary became 1 had to get all the goodies out to the drag strip and help set up to feed the hungry people. Knowing beforehand that I would be short on sleep and somewhat foggy I m a d e sure- everything w asreadytogo Sun day a.m ., even borrowing little brother's pickup to h a u l the chow in and arranging for re serve Roy Price to ca ll me at 7 . . . just to make sure. W ell,he c a lle d .. . and I strug gled fr m the warm downy and into my new uniform and set out for brothers to get the truck . . . loaded it with supplies and headed for the airport.. .racking the g r e y matter to be sure I hadn't forgotten a n y t h i n g . I crossed the Elk River bridge and started up the hill, convinced that I hadn't forgotten one single item. And this made me very happy. . . coosideringm y sleepy condition which made it more than usually difficult to think. I w 'S even whistling as I clim be the top of Elk River h ill. That is until the dum pick up coughed a c o u p l e times, snorted once, and then cam e to a com plete and final stop.. . just as I managed to rally enough to pull almost off the highway. I guess you know when I realized that little brother had forgotten to put gas in the rig I was plumb ready to turn things every way but lo o se .. . m ainly him . Imean, there I was at 8 a .m . with a pickup loaded with 1, 000 hot dogs and buns, 8 tanks of pop, candy, cigarettes and various other supplies.. . and no power. I got out and stormed up and down the highway in, to say the very least, a high state of frus trated agitation. In fact, I was so disturbed I tore off the top of a box of footlong hotdogs and con sumed three of them right on the sp ot.. . not because I thought it would serve anybody right.. . I hadn't had breakfastyet.Finally a car going south stopped and offered to ca ll the bride and have her fetch m e some gas. Because she's as hard to wake up as I am I figured on a long w a it.. . and a mad crew waiting at the strip for their big Lt. to show. However, about the tim e it took the motorist to get to town and call the bride reserve m em ber Larry Quillen cam e by. When he got through laughing he a - greedto go back to Nicholson's store and fetch me some petrol . . . and call the bride, with the good news that she wouldn't have to get u p.. . only she a l ready had and was just ready to leave the h ouse.. . which didn't help m y case any, either. Larry brought the gas back and we made it to the strip, late but sa fe .. . with a mob of people wanting hot coffee and dogs, at that tim e of the morning yet. From then on it was one mad rush without a break.. . until we ran out of hotdogs about 1 :3 0 ... at least we thought we had. Re serve Dal Weir offered to com e Edward J.

Anglers Punch Cards Need to Be Returned Society Seeks To Help Crippled Oregon anglers are reminded that the deadline for returning the 1965 salm on-steelhead lic ense, commonly c a l l e d the punch card, is fast approaching. Many punch cards are still in the hands of individuals. If you have yours, the game com m is sion requests that you dig down in your w allet and return the card im m ediately to the com mission's Portland headquarters, 1634 S.W. Alder. All license a - gencies have collection boxes for the convenience of the fish ermen, who m ay deposit the punch cards there if they so de sire. Returned punch cards provide the basis for calculating the total catch of salmon and steel head in all open waters of the state. Analysis of the cards will ¿egin shortly after May 1. It is urgent that anglers return all punch cards so an accurate ap praisal of the fishery can be made. "T h e re are far too many crip pled people even in this en lightened day and age who need help and aren’t getting It ,” ac cording to M rs.

Oregon's forests have long been recognized as the source of raw m aterials which sustain our number one economic acti vity. Beyond this, the forests serve as highly valuable water sheds, provide habitat for fish, game and other wildlife and do mestic animals, and are In spiring centers of recreational and scenic enjoyment. The u tility and beauty of our woodlands, landscaping, plant ing and t<eautlflcatlon of man’s developments, the joys to 1* found In home and public gar dens, all underscore the mean ing and Importance of Arl>or Day, which w ill be observed throughout Oregon, Friday, Ap ril 29. State law calls upon school* authorities In each district to hold such exercises as w ill en courage the planting, protec tion and preservation of trees and shrubs. In addition toevents In schools, garden clubs, con servation groups, an d many other public and private organi zations annually observe Arbor Day with special programs. It Is fitting to note that one of Oregon's principal showcases, the State Capitol grounds, are this year attaining new neuuty wtth the completion of new land scaping of Willson Park. On Arbor Day, A pril 29,1966, I urge each citizen to appro priately recognize the treasure of our forests, our natural aid planted landscapes. May we ob serve Arbor Day not only with appropriate c e r e m o n i e s in schools and elsewhere, but may this occasion also rededicate ourselves to prevention of fo r est fire s , to added appreciation of the value of our green acres, to proper conservation of all natural resources, throughout this year and all the years to come.
