Location of Oregon state parks depend on
places of interest, not legislator's whim
We're sort of bothered by the im
plications in a question asked by state
Rep. Bculah Hand bf Clackamas county
last week.
An Interim committee of which
Mrs. Hand is a member was discussing
the state's park system with Chet Arm
strong who with an advisory board
runs the state's park program.
Why, she wanted to know, didn't
the state set up some parks in her
county?
The Inference was that Clackamas
Was a big county, had a lot of people,
who paid lots of gas taxes, and there
fore a park or two should be established
there, apparently on sort of a home
town industry basis.
State parks should not be estab
lished on these grounds, or because
some member of the legislature thinks
' it would be nice in a re-election cam
paign to speak at a park dedication.
Parks should be and have been
in the past established near things
people want to sec or do.
State parks are established on this
basis. The qualifications should not
change at the whim of a legislator.
After all, some of the Multnomah
county delegation might want some
new parks in their territory. And those
who charge the sec-ers and do-ers in
Portland would not like that at all.
is time for a change in the weather
Autumn is fading today. Winter
will officially begin Tuesday morn
ing, December 22, as the sun creeps
over the eastern rim of the high desert.
It is time for a change In the weath
er, even at the risk of ruining a possi
ble all-time aridity record. Since the
first of the year only 5.47 inches of
moisture has been measured at the
Bend station.
Never before in the nearly (30 years
of weather observations in Bend has
such a low 11-month moisture mark
been recorded.
Central Oregonians have enjoyed
the dry, mild autumn, with its clear
skies and mountain vistas free of clouds
or smoke.
But it is time for a change.
We humbly suggest to the weather
man that he arrange for this change to
start with the official beginning of win
ter, about sunrise tomorrow morning.
Another voice against park proposal
We appreciate the recognition but
loathe the proposal.
When a California!! recognizes the
outstanding scenic grandeur of Oregon
we're surprised and pleased, but no
sooner does this occur than he wants
to busybody around with It.
David Simons is highly impressed
with Oregon's middle Cascades, he
says in the October issue of the Bulletin
of the Sierra Club, the west's major
mountain climbing and outdoor organi
zation. Then he goes on to propose that
the whole, huge mountain area plus its
slopes on both sides be put under the
National Park Service.
Wo generally like the Idea of a
National Park along the Oregon Coast,
quibbling only on details, but such a
park for a huge area of the Cascades
is preposterous.
This is the area which now Includes
five protected recreation areas, the Mt.
Jefferson Primitive Area, the Mt. Wash
ington Wild Area, the Three Sisters
Wilderness Area, the Waldo Lake Limi
ted Area and the Diamond Peak Wild
Area. Those and nearly all the land
surrounding them now are administer
ed and generally very well by the
U. S. Forest Service.
This, to cur rr.ind, Is caaiiy one cf
the best family recreation areas in the
whole country.
It has nearly a dozen peaks for
climbers, beginner through expert. It
has half a hundred lakes, ranging from
alpine ponds of striking beauty to big,
white-capped lakes such as Waldo
whose far sides blur In the distance. It
has family ear camps by the dozens,
such as the Metollus or at Elk Lake,
and remote camps at the edge of the
snowfields for the strong of leg. It also
has, along its lower slopes, grazing
lands lands on the cast and logging
country.in the west.
It's an area ideal for multiple (and
compatible) uses, and the U. S. Forest
Sen-ice Is at. Its best handling large,
unspccializcd areas. The U. S. Park
Service is geared to single-use compact
areas.
What improvement could be had
In shifting from one federal agency to
another is beyond us. And the less im
provement the better, generally speak
ing. This is a vast area where there
still Is space for a person to do general
ly as he likes, and minimum supervis
ion is a virtue.
Nor should .the resources from
timber to game bo locked awny when
their harvesting is compatible with
other uses. Perhaps some day popula
tion will indicate that the maximum
use for the area is a single use, recrea
tion, and then this proposal would have
more merit. But that's a couple of
decades away, even by our unconserva
tlve estimate.
Meanwhile we'll Identify our own
fauna and flora without the aid of a
ranger and bump over unasphaltrd
roads happily, (Sali'in Capitui

emerald-tiled Throneroom in an
cient Kabul.
King Mohammed V of Morocco,
lineal descendant of the prophet,
will be divided between iiis own
personal friendship for the Uni-
that Mohammed, then Sultan, be
given an audience. And despite
Churchill's frowns, FDR there
with gave Morocco a push toward
nationalism.
That push was carried so far
men. The depradations of what he
has called "slob hunters are in
defensible. There are, however, some seri
ous flaws in Mr. Edwards' rea
soning, winch seems to run like
ted States and the strident de- j that Mohammed's own party, the ! tllis. increase in the number of
mands of his subjects that he
push American military bases in
to the sea.
President Eisenhower will be
divided by knowledge that these
bases have been the most import
ant in the world for the U.S.A.,
second to none except that in
Thule, Greenland. They have been
a pistol at the Kremlin's head,
with B-47 bomber crews on night-and-day
alert ready to take off
Moscow-ward, each with as much
explosive power as all the bombs,
all the shots detonated in World
War II.
These are the bases the White
House has referred to when Rus
sia was threatened with immedi
ate retaliation in case of war.
Yet, the President also knows:
1. That the new interconti
nental ballistic missile, which
fires 5,000 miles, will make tiiese
Moroccan bases obsolete; 2.
That his better relations with
Khrushchev will permit him to
save half-a-hillion on these bases
if those relations continue.
Nevertheless, as a military
man, he would like the right to
keep those bases hitherto so vital
to American defense.
Picturesque Monarch
When the King granted me an
audience some time ago, he sat
on a low golden throne dressed in
white flowing robes which left on
ly his hands and face exposed, lie
had just ridden to prayers on a
white mule harnessed in red
leather. A golden umbrella was
held over him, as black Moroc
can troops riding on white horses,
with red harnesses and red fcz
zes, escorted him to the mosque.
It was a picturesque and beauti
ful spectacle of an old world mon
arch in old world surroundings,
in a country where the most mod
ern weapons of war were based
for retaliatory attack.
"In the past," the King told me,
"my ancestors had excellent re
lations with the United Slates. Un
fortunately, they were disrupted
for a time by certain problems,
but I am happy that we arc closer
together again."
The King spoke with sincerity.
But the strident voice of Arab
nationalism has become stronger
and stronger in Morocco. So has
the voice of Moroccan democra
cy. Both voices cry with a single
objective oust the U.S. Air
Force.
Mohammed V Is one of the more
moderate rulers of North Africa.
Times have changed since his an
cestor. Sultan Moulay Ismail,
practiced the technique of mount
ing a horse and cutting off a
slave's head simultaneously.
Mohammed V still keeps two
wives behind veils and under
wraps, but his handsome daugh
ters swim in bikinis on the beach
es near Rabat, with U. S. airmen
and young Mohammedans flutter
ing round them. The King is a
devoted father, gentle, pious.
works hard at the job of ruling
Morocco which lie loves, but not
hard at the job of shaving which
ho hates. He likes to drive his
own car and on occasion bowls
with his cook.
Friend of FOR
Mohammed V has been working
at the job nf ruling Morocco
intermittently ever since he
was eighteen. Intermittent inter
ruptions were caused by the
French, who picked him over an
elder brother in the first place be
cause they figured he would he
easier to handle. They were
wrong. They weic so wrong that
in l'.i.d they had to banish Mo
hammed to Madagascar, then
bring him back when French rule
over Morocco went to pot.

Istiqlal, claim he isn't achieving
the revolution." They want fast
er reform and the American Air
Force out. The Air Force pumps
about JoO.OOO.OOO a year into the
Moroccan economy; directly or in
directly employs 10.000 Moroc
cans; also wins $40,000,000 of out
right economic aid for Morocco.
On the whole American troops are
well-behaved and relations excellent.
But that makes no difference.
The politicians want American
troops out. So the huge U. S. sup
ply base at Nouasseur and the
strategic bomber base at Sidi
Slimane, where B-47 bomber crew
are so much on the alert that they
have to go to the barbershop to
gether, are now getting ready to
pack up. Unless Ike's talk with
the gentle-voiced monarch with
the will of steel changes things,
they will be gone in l'JtiO.
Note Eisenhower caught a
cold and was confined to his bed
when Mohammed V paid his state
visit to Washington in 1957. He
was able to confer with the King
for only about ten minutes. The
meeting in Rabat, therefore, will
hi their first real chance to get
acquainted.

TEHRAN, Iran (UPI) Shah
Mohammed Reza Pahlevi mar
ried dark-eyed Farah Diba today
in a simple Moslem ceremony
that transformed the beautiful ex
bobby soxer into her imperial
majesty, the Queen of Iran.
The setting was one of great
Oriental splendor, splashed by the
glitter of Farah's diamonds, but
the ceremony which touched off
vast celebrations throughout the
land took only a moment.
Three times a Moslem priest
asked Farah if she would take
the Shah as her husband. The
one-time Paris college student
answered "yes" finally and the
Shah slipped a plain gold band
on her hand. That was it.
It was the Shah's third mar
riage. His first two marriages
were dissolved when his wives
failed to bear him a male heir
to his peacock throne.
The handsome Shah and the
beautiful dark-eyed, chestnut
haired Farah were married in the
Hall of Mirrors in the Shah's im
posing marble palace.

hunters has occurred, causing
some problems for landowners. At
the same time, a Red Hat Days
program has been underway. Be
cause two things occur or exist
at the same time, one must be
the cause of the other. Therefore,
Red Hat Days must have caused
the increase in hunters and addi'
lional pressures on landowners.
Great thinkers have repeatedly
pointed out the fallaciousness of
such reasoning. Because two
events occur at the same time is
no indication that they are related
as to cause and effect.
A steady increase in hunters
afield has occurred in states and
areas where no Red Hat Days
program exists. The increase has
been nationwide. More and more
people are participating in out
door sports, probably as a result
of improved standard of living,
some leisure time, and a desire
to get away from living pressures
in crowded centers of population.
I would also call attention to the
following: A number of industrial
tree farmers have reported much
improved hunter conduct since
the Red Hat Days program went
into effect. The state supervisor
of the Bureau of Land Manage
ment reported this year: "We be
lieve it (Red Hat Days) has been
of real value and that its ac
cumulative effect will increase in
the future." A staff member of the
Game Commission states: "Gen
eral hunter conduct as measured
by reports received continues to
improve in many areas in spite
of added hunting pressures."
Red Hat Days may not control
all the "slob hunters." It was nev
er conceived as a cure-all. But it
docs serve a real purpose. Each
year' it reminds the thinking out
doorsman to be careful with fire
and firearms, to be law abiding,
to live up to his responsibilities
to the landowner, it reminds
thinking sportsmen that they can
continue to enjoy hunting privi
leges only so long as hunters fol
low the rules of true sportsman
ship. It stimulates sportsmen's
organizations to impress this upon j
their members. It educates our j
youth on the principles of good i
sportsmanship. j
Results of the program may be :
difficult to measure. But there is '
evidence that it has made many
a hunter more careful in his con- j
duct afield. As your writer ably
pointed out, damage might have
been worse had there been no Red
Hat Days program. '
But hunter - caused damage to
property continues to occur. Some
hunters are not touched by ap-'
peals to reason and the cause of
good sportsmanship.
Perhaps extremely strict en
forcement of trespass laws and
tough penalties for those who
cause damage to property is need-1
ed to control the bad actors. Un-1

To (he Editor:
Earlier this week there was a
letter to the editor in regard to a
scuffle in which some of Bend
High School basketball players
were involved, which they tried
to avoid. I would like to congratu
late these boys for their effort in
trying to avoid the incident.
I do however take offense at
the copy of the letter sent by
those who wrote it having been
sent fo Bend Aerie No. 2089 Fra
ternal Order of Eagles, who
would in no way be involved if
as the story goes, the dance was
held at Lakcvicw Eagles.
Having been a member of the
Eagles for over 28 years and at
one time chairman of the Youth
Guidance Committee, why throw
stones at innocent people.
The information I have is that
the Lakeview Eagles were in no
way involved as sponsors of this
dance, nor was it held at the Lake
view Eagles home. My under
standing is that the principal of
the Senior High School now has
this same information, and has
had it since yesterday, why has
this charge involving the Lake
view Eagles not been retracted. I

To the Editor:
During World War II, I was sta
tioned at Camp Abbot, near your
town.
During my stay of approximate
ly a year, I was taken into the
homes of a number of the resi
dents of your town and in some
cases treated as a member of the
family. I have never forgotten the
hospitality shown me, during
those war years. .
Last summer, I had the oppor-.
tunity to revisit your community
and renew friendship with some
of your fine citizens.
During the entire four years, 1
was in the service 1 never fared-so-well
as I did in Bend. Your
people have lived up to the town
motto of "Fare Well," for which
1 shall be forever grateful.
I thank you Bend, for your
friendship and hospitality.
