Lane Legislators in Review-No, 9 LANE COUNTST'S HOWE NtWSPAPEft. SECTION B EUGENE, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1963 Junction Man Top Farmer By PEPPER BERKELEY Qt tin Kf lstrGttftrd 1-1 II O, I 1 ! I It REP. GENE HULETT Hulett Proposal May Cause Stir 1 - i By DAN SELLARD ' 8 Of the Beihter-Guard - 8 H the success or failure of a legislator depends, as some say, on his mastering the fine art of human relations, Gene Hulett, a new representative from Eugene, should do well. Hulett, a Democrat, will represent the new joint dis- j trict of Lane and Benton counties in the 1963 session, $, which starts Monday. - . i His training in getting along with people includes 17 years as a state policeman and two years operating a small s grocery store. I "If you can survive all of that and still like people," fjj he said during an interview, "then you should get along f anywhere." j Hulett, now 40 years old, joined the Oregon State Po- lice as a rookie in 1943. His first duty was at the State Police office in Roseburg. He was later transferred to Bend, then returned to Roseburg and in 1845 came . to I the Eugene office. I In 1955, Hulett was made patrol sergeant at the Eugene f office, replacing Vern Hill who became Eugene chief of 8 police. f In 1960, he resigned the state police to buy a grocery I store on Moss Street in Eugene. Later, he purchased the Welcome Market on Hilyard Street which he and his wife I now manage. The Huletts have one son, Randy, 13. S Hulett's decision to go into politics was his own idea, g but to run for the newly-created joint district of Lane t and Benton was brought about by a suggestion from the Democratic Party. ' I didn't like the idea of running at large as the oth- S crs have to," he said. However, "the idea of representing f counties with the two largest universities appeals to me. Hulett felt he was well-known in Benton County even 8 though he lived in Eugene. His police work had taken him into the county to the north many times, especially in the g rural areas. & In the general election, Hulett beat his Republican i opponent, Vcrn Hawn, even though Hawn was considered ' popular with the rural Benton County voters and outspent i Hulett considerably during the campaign. If he gets his way on committee assignments in the Legislature, Hulett will be on the Highway, Judiciary and f Fish and Game committees. These fields are his prime in- terests and he thinks his background qualifies him. He already has a bill ready for presentation and it probably will propel him into controversy. Hulett's bill would abolish the position of county con- stable and give the constable's functions to the sheriff; give all civil processes of the justice, district and circuit $ courts to the sheriff; take tax collecting away from the ? sheriff and give it to the assessor; and here is where the fj bill will make sparks take all criminal duties away from J: the sheriff and give them to the state police. Acknowledging that his proposal will run into opposition by the county sheriffs, Hulette believes: It will make law enforcement more efficient, and, It will tend to lower property taxes at the county level, by more than $6 million statewide, and would save further public money because of central training and pur- jr chasing. Hulett would also place weights and measures (for in- k stance, log truck load checking) into state police jurisdic- i tion from where it now rests with the county; change the f organization of state police for a general upgrading of rank and pay, and place more "rank" and personnel in fish and ? game law enforcement. On the general topic of state expenses and taxes, Hulett : : reported that, after spending four days at the pre-legislative j orientation session, he "just can't tell where we're going to y got the money." k Which is a pretty good observation for a freshman legis- lator to make. -,. Outstanding Citizens Picked Three of Eugene's outstand ing citizens ranging in age from 17 to 58 and Lane Coun ty's outstanding young farmer were honored Thursday night at the annual Eugene Junior Chamber of Commerce Distin guished Service Awards Ban' quet. ' Richard i. Miller, 35, an attorney, of 195 W. 35th Place, Eugene, 1962 s Junior First Citi zen. Ward Beck Jr., 17, a sen ior at South Eugene High School and the son of Mr. and Mrs, Ward E, Beck of BB5 W 37th Ave., Eugene, 1962 Future First Citizen. James Milo Lcmcrt, 35, fruit and vegetable grower, of 455 W. Beacon Dr., Junctioin City, Lane County's Outstand ing Young Farmer of 1962. Mervin O. Dahl, 58, of 2455 Olive St., Eugene, vice presi dent and manager of the Eu gene main branch of First Na tional Bank, Eugene's Senior First Citizen of 1962, as selected and announced previously by the Eugene Real Estate Board. These four men, said John Amundson, the 1961 Junior First Citizen, have four quali ties in common: loneliness, weariness, abandonment and vision. In presenting Miller with his award, Amundson said the lead ers find decision-making can make them feel alone. There is no "40 hour week" in civic lea dership, he noted. And, Amundson said, the lead ers must have two .other qual ities: the ability to abandon past prejudices so as "not to sacri fice the future for the past," and the vision to know that what the activities accomplished to day will mean in the future. Miller is chairman of the Eu gene School Board, president of the Lane County School Boards Assn. and secretary-treasurer of the Oregon School Boards Assn. ; His other activities include civic, protessionat and churcti work. Ward Beck Jr., Eugene's Fu ture First Citizen, was selected for the honor by a panel of Eu- 4-H'ers to Study Lane Government Lane County 4-Hers will spend part of Saturday learning about county government and court procedure during the third an nual "4-H Conference on Coun ty Government." The club members, who must be 14 and older, will meet at Harris Hall at 9:30 a.m. for ori entation on such subjects as the home rule charter, civil defense and medical self-help.

Park Commission Size Decreased The Lane County Parks and Recreation Commission, normally an li-member board, will have to get along with nine people for awhile. The. commission members Thursday sight were re signed to the fact that the board will be permanently de creased in size, and went about reorganizing its committees on that basis. But Lane County commissioners Friday morning denied they have come to any definite decision to reduce the size of the li-member board. Frank Elliott, chairman of the Board of Commissioners, confirmed, however, that for now two people will not be appointed to vacancies to bring the parks commission back up to its previous strength. He said that the sire of the parks commission will be considered in the total context of reor ganization of the county's administration under terms of the home rule charter that went into effect last week. Thus, Elliott said, no official action has been taken to reduce the park board size. But if there is hope that the parks commission will get back to an lS-member strength, it wasn't evident at its reg ular meeting Thursday night. "It is quite clear that the (county) commissioners are firm in their feeling it is not necessary to appoint more members to the commission," Supt. Paul Beistei said, "t sense there is hardly much point in trying to persuade them further." Commission chairman Lee Murphy agreed. "I feel they pretty well have made up their minds and we are not going to have more members." Murphy suggested the parks commission go ahead with nine members. "If it proves too much, then we can go ask for more members," he said. So the commission approved 13 committees, with each member appointed to head one or more of them. The chair man of each subcommittee will not have regular members, but ask for help as it is needed. Cahl said, "that 1 have made only a small contribution to the city of Eugene." In Han Paik, Korean eonsui generai in San Francisco, brought greetings to approxi mately 250 persons attending the banquet from Korea and from Chinju, Eugene's sister city. Thursday was the second anniversary of the Eugene-Chi-ju sister city program. The evening's featured speak er, the Sev. Robert F. Beh, as sociate professor o speech at the University of Portland, told bannuet guests that true success is happiness not wealth, fame or health. He listed three ways to achieve happiness: striving for excellence, striving for self knowledge and striving for balance.
