A SISTER CITY IS IN REAL TROUBLE
of sym pathizing w ith our sitte r-
of serious trouble M yrtle C reek

tro u b les th at beset Brookings, and any grow ing city in O regon,
trouble w ith w ater, city ta .v s , irouble w ith u’hool populations
and the like.
But none of it w as tro u b le like they have now. T he Um pqua
Plyw ood Corp, gave tv rm in atin g checks to 352 employees, and
announced th a t th*y w ere going to stop production
W hat a shock to b u sinesi estab lish m en ts th e re , having invested
consider able tim e and money, and then, bang, 352 paychvcks are
ta k e n out of tow n
But woi se w hat a shock to tlv» w orkers. Many have th e ir roots
down th ere, and intend to m ake it th e ir life’s home. They have
bought homes, and new ears and suddenly, they have nothing
W here will tlsey tu r n ? W ho will m ake the paym ent on their
house, o r car, o r who is going to buy th e ir gro ceries?
Of course, th e re a re o th e r ind ustries in the a re a , such as the
H anna Nickel m ine. And. th e U mpqua saw m ill is going to keep
its ofxTation. And th v re is the possibility of th e mill retu rn in g
to production u n d e r a new m anagem ent, or a new ow ner, or
perhapa a Co-Op f j |» ’ ojieration These, of course, are straw s
to be clu tch ed at.
T he com pany, in its sta te m e n t, gave v a rie ty of reasons for dis
continuing its operatio n . One, they w ere paying excessive taxes,
Jiving in the city of M yrtle C rdek. Two, th e ir production was
low er th a n averag e. Throp, th e ir payroll w.is higher than
averag e- F our, th e tim bei w asn’t eondusive to high q uality p ly
wood production.
The decision to stop work w as h ard on m anagem ent too They
have a lot of m oney invested in a mill of th a t size. I hvy fiad
Just sjx*nt ovei $1<M),000 in renovating equipm ent. T h e com pany
also owns m any m odem hom es in th e a re a which will fie next
to w orthlvas if th e re is no payroll in the vicinity.
It is an u n to rt u n a te situ a tio n all around W e sincerely hope
th at som ething can lx* w orked out.

FOR WHAT
IT'S WORTH
By C lifford P. Rowe
A pparently the conscientious
and long-suf faring citizens of th"
s ta te of O regon are finally going t»
get a long need relief. L egislators
finally seeing the light, are m ov
ing tow ard advancing the date foi
prim ary elections from April up t<
A ugust.
F or those of us who becam e th o r
oughly fatigued and nauseate»
du rin g last y e a r’s political cam p
aign, this move is definitely in th
rig h t direction. Such a changt
should be welcom ed by the legis
la to r desiring to run for reflection
or th e p o tential new com er to th*
(xilitical arena.
Most of us h ive long felt that to
s ta rt cam paigning for the prim ary
in Ja n u a ry , to continue filling the
a ir and th e press until the Apri
contest, and then to c a rry on until
the N ovem ber general elections
rolled around was p u ttin g cam p
aigning on practically a year
around basis.
Not only w as it
tough on th e office seeker but -t
w as also discouraging for the vo
ter.

In an editorial, the opinion w as

A few generations ago. much
tim e was needed in o rder to plod

radio and the press which blanket
the area, a candidate for ofifee J
