Those Busy Week Ends
Over in Pendleton, the East Oregonian's publisher,
Bud Forrester, recently heard of a suggestion in his town
that might be applicable in Bend.
That suggestion was that some sort of clearing
agency tie set up to eliminate conflicts in important meet
ings, especially on weekends.
Like Pendleton, Bend weekly has many meetings,
ana very irequently these are crowded into weekends,
Smaller cities, it was noted, can't very well split their
possible attendance pools.
Consider the congestion of events a week or so ago:
The Deschutes Pioneers' association, with a membership
of 720, held its winter meeting on a Saturday night, with
the date set months ago. Then came a highly rated var
iety show, sponsored by a Bend group. And that same
;. night Bend and Redmond basketball teams met on the
local court. The result was a very small attendance at
the variety show, acclaimed one of the best ever billed
in Bend.
Just ahead is another busy week-end for Bend : Ore
. gon Elks will bo here in great numbers, to join with
Bend Elks in the dedication of the new temple. The Bend
Junior Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual dis
tinguished awards banquet. The Winter Assembly will
sponsor its January dance. And, among other events,
there will be a potluck dinner at the Bendonian Club.
All of these events will be on the same evening.
Possibly these conflicts of meetings just can't be
- avoided; but, it is noted, one event originally scheduled
for Saturday night has been postponed until February 5.
That is the annual March of Dimes Jamboree.
Over in Pendleton, Editor Forrester received the
suggestion that the chamber of commerce serve as a clear
ing house. This plan might also work in. Bend.
The City of Bend seasonally faces a problem of spac
ing meetings in nearby Shevlin Park, on Tumalo Creek.
Groups planning on holding picnics in certain areas of
the park must notify city officers, and the sites are
"staked" in advance of the outings.
It might be possible to set up a clearing house in the
Bend Chamber of Commerce office, with groups sponsor
ing major events asked to notify the chamber well in
advance. By calling the the chamber office, others plan
ning important meetings could ascertain possibly a month
or more in advance whether a busy week end is ahead
The Bulletin would be available for the publication
" 'each week of events scheduled for the coming week.

Confusing f he Issues
Each day about the time Farley Elliott's crew across
the street finishes sorting the third-class mail we receive
anywhere from 10 to AO letters, most of them seeking
publicity or support for various causes.
Most of them are worthy causes, too, and a number
of them receive publicity or support as requested.
But there are a few fringes of near-lunacy shown by
some of the writers.
In particular, we refer to the type- which prints
across the outside of the envelope a message asking us
to "help save our present form of government."
At first, naively perhaps, we tore the envelopes open
right away, looking to see where our form of govern
ment was endangered. This, we thought, is great stuff,
have to get right after the so-and-sos who are lousing up
the manner in which we govern ourselves.
At first, that is. For almost always the enclosure in
side the envelope refers to someone's pet economic scheme
- to put all public lauds up for sale, to put a constitution-
ul limit on tax rates, or something of that nature.
We had always thought that the form of government
Z and our economic system were separate things, fio mat
ter how much government goes into business. It seems
possible, even, to retain our present form of government
even under complete state socialism if that were ever to
come to pass, as undesirable as it would be.
The proponents of the various schemes probably
would tlo their causes no harm if they were to stop con
fusing the issues.

Smithsonian Institution has a
problem and the Newport's city
counsel doesn't care. '
A former councilman told the
body that the Smithsonian has
trouble cataloguing Newport's
famed Old Stone Mill because the
ancient structure doesn't have an
official name. And he proposed it
be called Newport Tower.
The councilmen shrugged and
went on to other business.
