Those Civic Minded People
I T IS one th in « to w o rk fo r pay and anothe r to w o rk fo r

Just fo r the love o f i t . ”
The people o f th is area dem onstrated Sunday th a t they are

ACACIA LAUNDROMAT

There seems to lx? a fa ir possi­
b ility th a t the le g islation neces­
sary to settle the long-standing
dispute between the D epartm ent
of A g ric u ltu re Forest Service and
the D epartm ent o f In te r io r B u ­
reau of Land M anagem ent over
the title to and ju ris d ic tio n over
some 462,000 acres of tim b e r land
in the Oregon and C a lifo rn ia re ­
vested land g ra n t area w ill be
passed before this session of Con­
gress is adjourned.
B ills to accom plish this result
have been introduced in both
house and Senate. Senator C o r­
don introduced the Senate b ill and
I put an id e n tica l b ill in the hop­
per in the House.
Rock Hounds Plan

The re g u la r m eeting of the M i.

TEEN-AGE NEWS
The food sale held by the Teen-
Age C lub last S aturday was tr u ly
a success. Some donations were
given at the sale to help the
bu ild in g lu n d fo r the new club
house.
This, too, w ill help to pay fo r
the sum m er fo rm a l dance th a t we
w ill have la te r in the sum m er. We
w ant to thank everyone w ho con­
trib u te d to the sale. I t w ill help
us get organized.
There w ill be a teen-age dance
F riday, J u ly 24, at the V .F .W . h all
at 8 o’clock in the evening. A d ­
mission is 25 cents w ith a m em ­
bership card o r 50 cents w ith o u t
the card.
Cold pop w ill be sold fo r five
cents.
A ll teen-agers are w e l­
ference C om m ittee of the tw o come.
Houses have yet to subm it th e ir
reports and action on them may
A d v e rtis in g in the B rookings-
take tim e.
H a rb o r P ilo t brings results.
S im ila r le g isla tio n has been
pending every session of Congress
fo r the last several years. B ils
have been fa vo ra b ly reported by
both House and Senate c o m m it­
tees several tim es but violent op­
position, m ostly fro m the Forest
Service, has prevented fin a l action
by Congress.
I t is h ig h ly im p o rta n t, not only
to the land g ra n t counties o f O re ­
gon but to the country* as a whole,
th a t le g islation be passed to c la r i­
fy the s itu a tio n and end the dis­
pute. Since the argum ent began,
money fro m the sale o f tim b e r on«
the disputed lands has been held
in a “ suspense” fund in the treas
u ry pending a settlem ent o f the
issue by Congress. T h is fund is
now m ore than seven m illio n dol
lars.
I t should be released so
th a t the U. S. T re a su ry w ill have
its p o rtio n o f the money and the
rem ainder d is trib u te d to the land
g ra n t counties under the term s of
the basic O & C act o f 1937.
H e wish to show our appreciation
for the many favors granted us
during the occasion of the Open­
ing of
CHUCK’S FLYING “A” ASSOCIATED
SERVICE
So fa r as I know there w ill be
lit t le o r no opposition to the
pending O & C b ills . In a fine
s p irit o f give and take the tw o
governm ent departm ents have co­
operated in w o rk in g out language
that is reasonably sa tisfa cto ry to
both
It is also approved by th ’
counties. The new b ill not only-
pro v ides fo r the d is trib u tio n of
the im pounded money but w ill
e lim in a te e n tire ly the present
troublesom e checkerboard p a tte rn
of in te rm in g le d co n tro l by the
tw o departm ents not only on the
dispute«! lands but fo r a n o th e r
500.000 acres as w ell.
The subcom m ittee on P ublic
Lands of th«' House C om m ittee on
In te rio r and In s u la r A ffa irs has
held hearings on my House b ill
H R 5958. 1 believe action by the
Senate C om m ittee m ay be taken
soon. As this is w ritte n I can­
not say fo r sure how soon the
House co m m itte e w ill m ake its
decision However, sine«» the leg­
isla tio n as now d ra fte d arouses
no opposition I th in k the Com ­
m itte e w ill take a favorable view
o f it.
Th«’ sudden “ p u rg in g ” o f the
