ROAD QUESTION . • .
‘‘If a logging outfit can build
a virtual highway through virgin
territory why can’t civic agen
cies do like-wise or hire the IPS*
ging outfits to do their road con
struction and maintenance?
This is better than a $64
question asked by Vic and Elsie
Reynolds who report having
made a really delightful trip on
just such a road. •
Mr. and Mrs. Reynols 6ay they
started up the South Bank of the
Chetco, taking Harry Roher a-
long with them, for an outing.
They passed the Tamba Ranch
and then hit a road they believe
was built by a local logging com
pany, running several miles back
on to Elk Mountain. They say
this road was smooth, well grad
ed, and far straighter than many
places in 101, north. They ran
into one short stretch where

FOR WHAT

By CLIFFORD P. ROWE
Seme people have the notion
that very few citizens ever read
newspaper editorials. I enter
tained somewhat similar ideas
myself until a couple of weeks
ago when I discovered my name
on the editorial page of Port
land’s evening daily.
Almost every person I met the
following day made some remark
about the bawling out I had
been given in the metropolitan
press. Not only had practically
everyone read it, but they were
unanimous in feeling sorry for
me.
The odd part of it all was I
wasn’t hurt at all. In fact. I
felt right proud. After all, with
atom bombs, presidential candi
dates, rice-cleanups and dreams
of expositions centers hogging
most of the editorial space, who
am I to be offended at having
some of it devoted entirely to
me.
Only once before in the five
year history of this column have
I been given such attention. I
considered that a fortunate in
cident also, for on that occasion,
I was given an entire page in
the Oregon Democrat. And I
got a real going-over. The pow
ers in control even sent my boss
a copy of the publication as a
sort of subtle hint that maybe
he ought to get rid of me.
But then even as now instead
of being hurt, I almost became
conceited over the affair. For

President Eisenhower; and on

But most of us take the jibes
in stride. Since time immemorial
those fortunate enough to live in
small towns have poked fun at
their city cousins; and the lat

long as columnists occasionally
run short of material, they’ll

Rod McKenzie has spent the past four years as State Representative
from this district. He was a member of the Taxation, Highways, Forest
ry and Mining, Commerce and Utilities, Agriculture and Bills committees.
He has been a member of the Tax Interim committee for the past 4 years.
Rod is well liked and respected by the legislators of both parties with
whom he served because of his independent thinking and willingness to
listen to and weigh all sides of any issue. We feel that he will be a credit
to this district in the State Senate.
Rod McKenzie was a sergeant in the Marine Corps. He enlisted in De
cember, 1941, and was given a medical discharge in 1946 for wounds he
received in action on Iwo Jima. He was with Colonel Carlson's Raiders
through Midway, Mckin, Guadalcanal, and Bougainville; and was with
the Fifth Marine Division on Iwo Jima.
