" Honor Society Initiates Two Miss Jean Cunningham, a librarian in the Gold Beach high school, and Mrs. Jean Strain, an elem entary teacher in the Lang lois school, were initiated into the Alpha Mu Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma at the May m eet ing of the Chapter.

Mrs.Elva Johnson of Port Orford was in charge of the initiation ceremony which was h e l d in the home of Mrs. A lice Bowman of G o ld Beach. Music for the ceremony was provided by Mrs. Bernadine K elley and Mrs. Lu- c ile Patterson accompianied by Mrs.HUda Cooper, all of Brook ings. The Society's founders were honored in a ceremony con ducted by Mrs. Hazel Stansell. She was assisted by Mrs. Georg ia Fromm and Mrs. A lice Bow man. Mrs. Kathryn Harris, chapi ter president, reported on the state convention held recently in Gearhart. The m eeting was concluded with a dinner honor ing tiie new initiates. This was also a farewell m eeting for Mrs. Twyla Byrnes of Port Orford who is m oving from die area. Pledges Action On Rogue Mud To Whom It May Concern: Subject: Rogue River Pollution and Turbidity. We Curry county people know this condition is, and has be*.n caused by soti being disturlx-d in the Rogue and its tributaries. For many years this condition has affected our S|>ring Chinook salmon season. This spring had been the worst in history. We know that m ining, gravel crush ers, a n d logging through 'lie stream beds have been some of the mam contributing factors. Some people and agencies w ill tell you that earth dumped into the tributaries that feed the npper Rogue would settle long before it reached Curry county. This is com p letely erroneous. Were the Rogue system co m parable to the Missouri, Missis sippi or other sluggish,slow flow ing streams, this would, in part be correct. The steep, swift and turbulent Rogue system carries all material in suspension down to the Pacific. Does anyone who has m a d e the 110 m ile float trip from Grants Pass to Gold Beach believe that dirt or any thing else could settle in this stream? Another group of people and agencies claim m elting snow run-off causes the problem. This is not so. The parts per m illion by their own documented ad mission is on an average 35. We have readings as high as three hundred near the recent logging operations observed by our three aerial inspections of May 15, 20, 26,1967; sworn to and notarized as per attached documents. We would like to know why the river, at its mouth, for the last six weeks has cleared up some each Tuesday and Wed nesday, and the rest of the week has been extrem ely m u d d y . Would it be because the gravel plants and loggers do not work Saturday and Sunday? Perhaps the "Great Architect of the Uni verse" has his sn o w m eltin g crew lay off Saturday and Sun day. Either reason would, of course,allow the streatn/o clear partially in two days. Snow w a ter is a slight m ilky color and fishable. Muddy water is just that, chocolate brown and not fishable. A 65 year resident at Agncss, 30 mUes from the Rog ue mouth, tells us the river has been a little higher than nor m al for this tim e of year, but nearly average over a long per iod. Perhaps someone could tell us why some Big tributaries run ning o it of the same m ow - packed mountains were clear, while others where we saw lo g ging were discharging pure mud. Whatever kind of a snow job it is, we are not satisfied with the current answers. Someone has said—"Eternal V igilence is the price of free dom". This is applicable to our situation. As Curry County Com m ission er, I pledge to our people and our sportsman friends from near and far, that anytim e we observe a river condition that w e fe e l is man caused, there w ill be an airplane above the scene of the disturbance. We feel that the proper auth orities, who are charged with and are being paid public funds for, wUl enforce the laws, rules, and state regulations governing the above conditions. H. E.
