So a billion dollars worth of jobs which makes (¡over nor Straub’s economic pro gram look like small pola toes are stuffed into the pigeonholes of one agency after another. As frustrating as it is for a state legislator to beat his head against the bureau cratic wall, there are rays OINTIST O ffe rs pQonipl DENTAL Repo/rp I M I IO IN C I IS O IV IN IM M IO IA t l A tU N T IO N * No Appointment Needed * Caution: D o n o t d o fo y n o o d o d D o n to l ■ o p o ir» . .

Another major project taking place at Bethel this month is the display of Black History materials mostly from Oregon at the child developm ent center. The display is a part of the renter's multi ethnic m essage through which the center's children, themselves from all ethnic groups, learn about other cultures. “Although our children are only from three to five years old, we believe they are old enough to under stand that this is a multi ethnic world," |>aslnr A. la-e Henderson explains of hope. The rays of hope are provided by the good bureaucrats, even if they are too few. One of the best examples in Oregon of a good bureaucrat is the director of the state Wildlife Commis sion. John McKean. McKean is a top notch bureaucrat because he knows his job and he does it well. He knows stupidity and foolishness when he sees it. and he isn't afraid to say so. The federal agents come to a screeching halt at the state line because John McKean can prove that Oregon is doing a In-tier job than most states and certainly a better job than the federal agents would do. Secretary of the Interior Rogers Morton, a no non sense guy like McKean, has told me that McKean enjoys greater resjwct in Wash ington than any other state game director. "John doesn't let anyone pull the wool over his eyes," Morton says. "When McKean tells me some federal proposal doesn't make sens«-, I know it doesn't make sense," he says. That's the Interior Secre tarv of the United States talking, and like McKean, he knows what he's talking about. John McKean could have moved to other states or the federal government and received much higher pay. But he is an Oregonian first, and he loves Oregon. He has always placed Du­ llest interests of the pcople of the state above any other consideration. Problem s caused by bureaucrats who are weak in the knees would dis appear in no time if other members of the bureau cracy followed the example that McKean has set. As a legislator. I'm sorry that Oregon doesn't have hundred more like him.
