'No Panty-Waist Operation
Lane Plans First Forest Youth Camp
By SAM FREAK
Of thft BcUtlr-Quud
Tim Is short, but Lane County
officials plan to set up the state's
first public experimental forest
youth camp program by July 1,
County School Supt Dale Farnell
reported last week.
He said that with the $10,000
recently- allocated for the project
by the County Budget Committee,
about 20 boys "perhaps we can
crowd in 25" will take part in
the first camp.
Parnell . emphasized that the
camp will Involve "rough, hot,
dirty, nasty work" and 'that the
living conditions for the boys will
be "far from ideal."
But he stated that the boys
who take part will receive many
benefits, not the least of which is
money. Parnell said that it has
been tentatively decided to pay
the boys $50 a month for the first
month. , $75 for the second, and
$100 the third.
MUCH DISCUSSION
The youth camp program is in
large manner the work of State
Sen. Robert Straub of Eugene.
Appearing before the county
budget' committee last Monday,
Straub said the program would'
benefit boys "who have never de
veloped a work discipline."
There was much discussion at
the meeting of the few opportuni
ties available to boys to learn
how to work. Committee member
Earl McNutt said "there just
aren't things for them to do."
Parnell said that many 15-year-olds
"want to work, but there is
nothing for them to do."'
The program Is designed to
take 15- to 19-year-old boys and
have them live at a forest camp
in tents. They will clear brush,
make picnic and camping sites,
do minor tree pruning, make fire
roads and clear stream beds.
' The county commissioners pre
fer the camp to be held at the
county's Blue Mountain Park
near Cottage Grove.
The county's $10,000 contribu
tion will be used to pay the boys'
wages and to furnish their food.
Straub said the State Forestry
Dept. estimated food will cost 65
cents a meal per boy.
STATE TO PROVIDE ,
Under the bill enacted by the
1961 legislature, the state will
provide $50,000 to experiment
with the forest camps this year
ana next. The money was author
ized to be spent in Lane and
Multnomah counties,
The state will provide the for
est department supervisors, the
tools, the campsites and the tents,
Straub agrees with Parnell

Original Work
University of Oregon symphony
band concert Thursday will mark
several firsts and a last.
Tho nnna will Tru. tliA Icef
concert of the season for the
band, conducted
by Robert Vag-ner.
It will be the
first perform
ance of "Sym-

a student at the
university. The

Madscn ; o m p o scd by
Farrell Dean Madsen Jr. of
Chico, Calif.
Madsen, who is a graduate
student in the School of Music,
plays clarinet in the symphony
orchestra and the symphony
band. He was solo clarinetist with
the band in 1959. A concerto for
orchestra which he composed
was performed by the university
orchestra last week.
The band will also present for
the first time two works scored
by Eugene musicians.
Vondis Miller, music teacher
in the Eugene Public School
System, arranged one a Gabri
elli work. Rae Fctherstonhaugh,
a graduate student in the School
of Music from Vancouver, B. C,
arranged Brahms Variations on
a theme by Haydn.
Other works on the program
include the music of Strauss, Ber-
loiz, Handel and Bruckner.
The concert will be at 8 p.m
in the Student Union.
that the work to be done is not
easy. "This will be no -summer
recreational camp," he told the
budget committee. "It will in
volve healthy, useful work."
He emphasized that the pro
gram will not tolerate loafers.
"If the boys boondoggle and re
fuse to work, they will end the
program," Straub. said. "I don't
want it if It ends up as summer
camp only."
One point that worried budget
committeemen was the possibility
that the program would swell to
unmanageable proportions. "I
think the program is wonderful,"
said Commissioner Kenneth Niel
sen. "But if the program turns
out to be a huge success, 20 boys
are nothing. There are about;
7,500 boys in Lane County who
could qualify."
PROGRAM ENVISAGED
But Parnell pointed out that
the program should not be in
tended for just any boy in Lane
County. He envisages a program
to help "the ridgerunner," the
boy who is treading a fine line
between juvenile delinquency
and promise.
"We're talking about boys who
are not prospects for Skipworth
Home or the McLaren School for
Boys," he said, "but ' the boys
who are also not prospects for
school, either."
Farneu believes the camp
could prevent boys from slipping
over into juvenile delinquency, at
the same time finding an oppor
tunity "to contribute something
to society."
"There is no way to estimate
the value in terms of eliminating
the necessity to care for these
boys after they might get into
trouble," he said. Parnell believes
that at the most the camp would
deal with about 100 Lane County
boys.
He and other proponents of the
plan are fearful that" the camp
might be branded as a juvenile
delinquency camp. "It won't be
that, it will be just a work camp,"
Parnell said.
One method to prevent the de
linquency brand is the provision
that boys can be fired from
the camp if they fail to work.
Thus camping is an earned privi
lege, not a three-month sentence,
Parnell wants to operate the
camp on a team basis, including
himself, Straub, the county com'
mtssioners, and Circuit Judge
W am Fort,
The first, task of the team will
be to set up criteria for the se
lection of boysi When this is
done, high school principals all
over the county will submit
names for possible choice.
But the boys who want to
attend must be sure of one thing.
"This is no panty-walst opera.
Hon," Parnell said. "They must
be willing to produce."

Burglars Use Truck to Haul
Enough Stuff for Giant Picnic
Some burglars in Eugene may
be planning a weekend picnic
with lots of guests.
That's one theory behind a
burglary at the River Road Mar
ket, 645 River Rd., Thursday
night or early Friday.
The loot, enough for a king
sized soiree, included 24 steaks,
a case of wieners, 4 canned hams,
2 rolls of lunch meat (which the
burglars took time to slice up),
10 cases of beer, some soda pop,
5 cases of coffee (in two-pound
cans), and 8 cartons of ice cream
slices. Total value of the "mak
ings" was estimated at $350 to
$400.

Deputy Sheriff Don Hughes
said the burglars, judging from
the tire tracks, apparently used
a truck to haul everything away
The truck also was apparently
used to break in a rear door
through which the burglars
gained entry to the building.
Meanwhile, Eugene police Fri
day were investigating a burglary
which occurred during the night
at the Gerald D. Arliss Mobil
service station, 1694 Willamette

Court Settles
Land Claim
For $77,000
A dispute over the price the
state of . Oregon should pay for
land it took for a portion of the
Pacific freeway north of Eugene
was settled by a Lane County
Circuit Court jury Thursday.
The jury awarded a price of
$77,000 to Kenneth W. lie, whose
land on Garden Way was used
for the freeway. Evidence pre
sented at the trial showed that
the state acquired about 30 acres
of Wylie's property for the new
road.
Wylie was asking for a price of
$125,000. The state highway de
partment had offered $74,000.
The jury's award came to $3,000
more than the state had offered,
and $48,000 less than Wylie had
asked.
The case was tried in the court
of Judge William Fort. It began
on Tuesday and the jury returned
its decision Thursday evening.
Leslie Hampton of Salem rep
resented the State Highway De
partment. Wylie was represented
by attorneys Gordon Wylie and
George Mead.
