Fori Rock Valley Tour
Extent of development which has been going on in
the Fort Rock valley in fairly recent years is a subject
with which, the average resident of Bend has too little
familiarity.' It may be better understood after the tour
which the Chamber of Commerce is organizing for
next Monday.
Key to what has already taken place is, of course,
the existence of a water table maintained by drainage
from surrounding hills forming the sides of a natural
basin. Easily tapped, the stored water becomes avail
aWe for irrigation. Differing from the gravity flow di
versions of stream waters to which central Oregonians
are chiefly accustomed, reclamation in the Fort Rock
valley depends on pumping.
Key to increase of such operations as are now being
conducted as well as to addition of others is cost and,
with it, the amount of underground water that can be
assured from year to year. The first involves compar
ison of the expense of power provided by internal com
buetion m6tors and that of electric energy.
The explanation of these relative costs, we are guess-
in, will be a highlight of the talk which members of
the touf will hear from George Larimer, manager of
the Midstate Electric Cooperative, which is intended
10 joerve ine area. . .1 . .
AS to the amount of water, that is something which.
inlthe final analysis, must be determined by trial. Few
subterranean water supplies, perhaps none, are inex
haustible, well-irrigated areas in California have dis
covered this When attempt was made to push recla
mation beyond the point of available natural resources
It Is well to keep acreage in balance with water sup
ply and this, we are sure, the Fort Rock farmers will
nave in mind as they strive for a uniformly success-
tui project. f,;--:y, -'., ..-.v.,,
The Mess on Nashville
Bend takes pride in its downtown streets, and busi
ness and professional people cooperate with the city
in;auempung to Keep tnem clean, mis etrort has been
so successful that visitors have commented on Bend's
tidy streets, ;.
JVhy. then, should city street cleaning crews dump
their litter at the west approach to the Drake Park
fo6tbridge, near the foot of Nashville?
For the past week there havejbeen mounds of street
garbage at the footbridge approach. Surely there are
other places where litter from the motorized street
swieeper can be dumped.
Roll Out the Red Carpet
The Redmond airport's "red carpet," 7,000 feet in
length and 150 feet wide, brings to mind a story that
is 'making the rounds, .
That story Is that tourists, traveling over the new
section of ,U. S, Highway 97. south of , LaPine,, have
noticed tnerea surfacing, ana at service, stations along
tne route are expressing tneir opinions about the color
scheme. '
They agree that the yellow stripe down the center
Is fine, but they, reportedly express belief that "the
painting of the fenfire highway, from black apron to
black aprori, in red is a waste of state highway depart
ment money."
Ot course, service station attendants can be expected
to point out, nature, not man, gave the crushed cinders
used on the highway their brilliant color,.
That' color was mixed in a blazing volcano, far under
the earth, with heat, gases and minerals , used by
nature in obtaining the proper hue.
And, most motorists will agree, it Is a pleasing, rest
ful red a color that intensifies the green of the pine
arid lodgepole forests that crowd to the highway.
Certainly there will be no criticism on the part of air
tourists coming into Roberts field: Fliers say the color
is striking from the sky.
' And, we are sure, aerial visitors, slipping into the
landing pattern, will feel that the friendly city of Red
mond has rolled out the red carpet In their honor.

Russian Food Crisis
Reports from Russia Indicate that that country Is
facing its worst food crisis since the Communists came
to. power some 35 years ago. The official Soviet news
paper Pravda recently revealed that the shortage is
so acute that state collecting points are accepting grains
without the customary tests for dryness and worms.
Hundreds of thousands of Russian industrial workers
hve been shifted to agricultural jobs In an effort to
deal with the emergency.
Conditions in the satellite countries are no better,
and this could have even more serious consequences
to; the Kremlin than the shortage at home. The people
In- these countries know that substantial portions of
thjeir production are drained off by the Russians and
resentment against them and against Communism is
inevitable. .
The Red .loaders are trying desperately to placate
their people with the usual hocus pocus of promises
and propaganda. Yet when the promises are not ful
filled they are worse off than before. Attempts have
been made to divert people's attention from thoir trou
bles by spectacular diplomatic moves. But hungry peo-
Especiully the band concerts In
the park. Besides, I'm just a suck
er for uniforms.
So is Marcia Dreher, three-year-
old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. R.
Dreher of Prinevillo, who attend
ed the concert Inst night with
Band Director Norman Whitney's
family. Marcia was, pop-eyed all
through the first several numbers.
She was not only quiet, she was
speechless.
Finally ner Miner panea ner on
the head and inquired, "Well,
Marcia, are you enjoying the mu
sic? v
""Oh. yes I" she whispered. "Bui
Daddy.. where did' all those police
men come from?
The Chief and I arrived at the
concert late, unfortunately. We
had to chambermaid the cow and
the new-born calf, and then the
Man in My Life had to toss his
work clothes in the washer and
throw the switch. This is a simple
enough chore, but it takes a good
deal of time to empty the pockets
Deiorenana,
When we got to Juniper park,
of course all the parking places in
hearing distance of the band were
taken, and we left the Black
Maria somewhere east of Fifth
street, and walked back. We stood
near the bath house, and many of
the young folks were seated on
the grass, most romantically,
There are no ducks in Juniper
park.
We heard many favorable re
marks about the performance of
Miss Shirley Stearns of Prmeville,
who appeared with the band last
night as guest vocalist. Although
we didn t hear her sing, we met
her later, and found her most
charming.
Music lovers who arrived at the
concert nearly an hour early told
us that even then, all the good
parking places were taken, and
the cars were empty. The folks
drive their cars down in the after
noon and walk home. Then alxnit
a quarter till 8 they arrive on
foot, climb in their cars and enjoy
the music. Pretty smart!
One of the novelty number Inst
night called for sound effects
preferably a pistol shot But Di
rector Whitney said nothing doing.
Folks on the East Side are sensi-l
live about noise, and he didn't
wont to start anything. '
Next week, the band will give
its final summer concert. Then
the group will reorganize for the
fall and winter, with somewnat
different personnel. There will be
some new faces, likely, and some
of the regulars will be missing
away at college or in new jobs.
Already, there is talk about the
summer concerts next year. The
attendance has been so large that
it may be necessary to shift to a
snot with more parking place
Bruin field would be adequate, but
there would be at least one major
objection. Families like the
drive-in feature of the present
arrangement. They can load the
kids into the. car and hear the
concert without getting out. And
who, cares if Mom has her hair
in curlers and her feet in bedroom
slippers?

This Is Friday the 13th. It's also

To The Editor
To the Editor: '-' ; ;
Through The Bulletin, may I
address this letter to all members
of Local 6-7, IWA:
The reason some of the mem
bers of the Sub-Local are propos
ing to invite members of all units
of Local 6-7 to our woods unit
meeting is that, scattered as we
are, it is very difficult to. reach
all those who might sign a pe
tition for a special meeting.
We know that some want to go
pack to woi-k under the old con
tract, some want to stay out on
strike, but we do not know what
the majority wants to do. Neither
do Tim Sullivan,. AI Glassow, or
Bill Niskanen know. So let's have
a secret ballot. If we want to re
turn to work under the old con
tract, then let us do so honor
ably, keeping our Union intact. .
If we. vote to stay out, then me
company will know that we in
tend to hold out for a raise. With
thnt information, they can set
their policy accordingly. So far,
they have acted on the assump
tion that we were led to strike
against our will.
Some feel that this action will
do us harm, but my opinion is
that a secret ballot will simply
do away with this doubt and un
certainty on how we stand.
Very truly yours,
George-W. Marshall.

Money-Raising
Plan Successful
For Madras JCs
Spwisl to Th. Balbiia
MADRAS Service organizations
are constantly on the lookout for
ways in which to raise money to
devote to their pet projects, and
the Jefferson County Junior Cham
ber of Commerce is no exception.
When the group recently learn
ed of a popcorn machine for sale
at Parkdale, Ore., it aroused club
interest as a money-raising proj
ect. A committee was sent to in
vestigate and they returned with
the rig, which consists of a sheet
aluminum - covered structure,
mounted on a 1937 Willys car
body.
After a thorough cleanup job,
and after a painting detail, head
ed by Bob Dram, had done its
work, the machine was put in op
eration. Jaycees and their wives
who recently banded together In
to the Jay,ceettes, work the rig
in pairs, with one person doing
the popping, while the other han
dles, sales.
The machine has been taken to
several recent Madras Softball
games, and sales of popcorn and
cold drinks have convinced the
Jaycees that they have a going
project on their hands. The appa
ratus is covered with sheet metal
inside and contains a gas oper
ated popper.
Jaycees have obtained permis
sion from the fair board to sell
popcorn during performances of
the Jefferson county rodeo, both
from a location near the stands
and in the grandstand, the popper
will be going full tilt during the
show. The group also plans to use
their machine during the fair pa
rade, Saturday morning.
They hope to be able to turn
profits from sales into commu
nity improvement work. "We have
been limited by a lack of funds
for operations so far," Darrell
Maxwell, club treasurer, com
mented. "We hope that the ma
chine will help us to make more
money so that we can complete
more community improvement
projects." -. .
