Clatskanie, Ore.
Jan. 13, 1964
At this time petitions are being
circulated to have a measure put
on the May ballot to close the
Columbia River to commercial
fishing. This bill would close the
to OREGON
Columbia River
FISHERMEN
COMMERCIAL
ONLY.
There is no division in the riv­
er between Oregon and Washing­
ton; therefore, the Washington
nets will fish the whole of the
Columbia, Under this bill, fish
caught in the Columbia river
cannot be canned In Oregon nor
can such fish be legally sold In
Oregon markets.
This group, “Save Our Salmon
and Steelhead.“ will tell you
when challenged, “First we will
close out the Oregon commercial
fishing, then Washington’’. The
only group in Washington, to my
knowledge, that favors this is the
Washington Sportsmen’s Council.
The commercial groups term this
Oregon closure illogical and pub­
licly state that the Columbia will
not be closed to the commercial
nets.
Our sister state is very mind-
ful of the need for industries to
build up their state's economy.
What's happening to our think­
ing?
The Isaac Walton League Is
supporting this as a “conserva­
tlon measure’’, li tills Is true con­
servatlon, then tile whole of the
Columbia and all the streams
flowing into It should be closed
to all fishing in both Oregon and
Washington and not just Oregon.
To protect the spawning beds
from damage, there is no com­
mercial fishing allowed within 5
miles below Bonneville Dam. On
the other hand, sportsmen are al­
lowed Into the spawning areas.
They take prime spawning fish
and walk on the spawn. Many of
the fish sportsmen take in these
areas are small salmon andsteel-
head. Yet these groups try to
give the impression the commer­
cial men are some kind of mon­
sters - taking all and giving noth­
ing to our economy. But, the com­
mercial fishermen own their
boats and each owns an average
of from two to four nets at a cost
of about $1200 each. Each com­
mercial man pays about $45 per
year for a commercial fishing li­
cense, $12 a year for his boat li­
cense, and if he has a helper, he
pays another $7.50 for a helper's
license. There is also a hair seal
hunter’s fee to rid the waters of
these predators. Also, in this area
this year they each paid $350 as a
drift fee - some years it's high­
er. This is to clear snags, stumps
etc. from the drifts. They also
have the expense of gas, repairs,
etc.
Most of the fish is contracted to
the canneries who, in turn, pay a
poundage fee to the state on all
the fish bought.
The commercial season has
been shortened so they fish from
90-100 days a year. They are un­
able to fish all the time alloted
to them because of tides or water
conditions. The biologists can op­
en or close the fishing periods as
they see fit. If the fish come into
the river sooner than normal or
are later and the escapement ov­
er the dams are too small, they
close the waters to commercial
fishing so that fishing is regulat­
ed to the best Interests of conser­
vation.
As this so-called sportsmen’s
groups says of the commercial
fishermen. ’’This Is such a small
group”. It may be small but It IS
income to our state and it is the the
livelihood of these men.
If commercial fishing Is out-
lawed In Oregon, will the state
buy their drift rights, boats, nets
etc. and teach these men new
skills so they will be able to sup-
port their families?
What possible advantage would
Oregon sportsmen gain by barr­
ing Oregon commercial flaherm
from the Columbia River when
Washington commercial fisher­
men can fish the river from bank-
to-bank?
I have no monetary Interest In
commercial fishing but It seems
to me that this unfair measure
needs a great deal of careful in­
vestigation and throught.
Sincerely,
Mrs. J. Wm. Oyala

Dear Sirs:
Judge Howeller’s fine letter in
last week’s Post should receive
serious consideration from all who
are interested in our country’s
future. Freedom ot speech is the
basic freedom without which oth­
er freedoms cannot survive.
Our second most important priv­
ilege is free election. Upon these
two freedoms rests the great
structure of American life, culture
and attainment. As Judge Howeil-
er writes, less than two thirds
of our citizens exercise this right.
If I may, I would like to make a
suggestion that could conceivably
alter this statistic. When we hear
someone decryingour government,
our laws, our people or our meth­
ods, let’s ask if the speaker voted
in the last election. If he did
not, the obvious should be made
clear to him. If he did not exer-
else his rlght to change things, he
has little right to criticize exist­
ing conditions.
If this simple and logical ques­
tion could become a habit with a
majority of us, I am confident it
would Increase the roster of reg­
istered voters and politically ac
tlve citizens.
Very sincerely yours,
Sheldon Ellwood

As Sock Hop Bans Shoes
The PTA sponsored Sock Hop,
to be held Saturday, Feb. 8, at the
grade school’s new gym, should
be easy on the feet. No shoes
will be allowed and, according to
the dance committee, all shoes
must be checked at the door,
If your socks need darning or
aren’t as dashing as you would
like, then you may wear your Jaz-
ziest or saddest TV slippers. Al­
most anthing goes in the way of
foot wear as long as it isn’t
shoes and does bear a resem-
blance to socks.
Reason tor the socks 1s that
shoes could damage the surface
of the gym floor, so absolutely
no heels will be allowed--on your
feet that is.
Prizes will be given for the
weirdest, prettiest, most origin-
lal etc. socks, and all proceeds
will go the PTA teacher scholar­
ship fund. Tickets are a mere
$1.50 per couple and may be pur­
chased at the door or from any
PTA member.

Unit chairman, Pat Brown of
Government Camp, announces the

tension unit on Thursday, Feb.
13, at 10:30 a.m. Meetings are
held in the Lions club hall in Wem-
me. All interested homemakers in
the Hood-Land area are invited
to attend the unit meetings and take

ful lessons and activities.
Following the business meet­
ing and project demonstration, a

The Goodwill Industries’
program of rehabilitation the
handicapped depends upon three
kinds of public support: Dona­
tions of discarded materials
provide jobs to handicapped
people who repair the articles
for resale. Financial contribu­
tions provide capital funds for
the purchase of buildings and
equipment. And, purchase of re­
newed
articles
in Goodwill
stores pays the operating costs
of
the
program,
including
wages. Non profit Goodwill In­
dustries asks the public for help
for the handicapped in any of
these three ways.

Lime sulfur, puratized agricul­
tural spray and TAG are the fun­
gicides suggested for home garden
or commercial use -- all are liq­
uid fungicides and are easier to
handle than the preparation of Bor­
deaux mixture.
To prepare 3 gallons of spray,
add 3 Tablespoons of puratized
agricultural spray, or 1 1/2 Ta­
blespoons of TAG, or 4 cups of
lime sulfur, to 3 gallons of wa­
ter. Use a sticker with each fun­
gicide.
Fixed or proprietary coppers
e.g. (Microcop, CvO.C^. and Tri-
basic Copper Sulfate) normally do
not stand up to rains but some
peach growers prefer them be­
cause they are easier to mix.
Lime sulfur will discolor paint
on houses and other buildings. Use
canvas, cardboard or polyethylene
sheets to prevent the lime sulfur
spray or spray drift from getting
on adjacent painted buildings.
Puratized Agricultural Spray
and TAG contain mercury and are
dea lly poisonous If taken orally.

To the Editor:
I note on the front page -- dat­
ing Jan. 30, 1964. the picture of
Audrey Colson, George Burg, Hel­
en Lamke and Ruth Burg, due to
the mistake in taking the picture.
I would say from my 70 years
of leg observations that George
Burg’s legs belong to Audrey-
Colson;
Audrey’s legs belong
to Helen Lamke, Helen Lamke’s
belong to Ruth Burg and Ruth
Burg's tv long to George Burg.
Thank you for the chance to
help solve the problem.
