William Clark ot the Lewis and Clark Expedition discovered on Jan. 7, 1806, there are 24 boys who are building a state park wmcn will oner some of the world a best scenery. Clark told in his Journal of his struggle' to walk up the "Almost perpendicular" slopes to the 1,000 foot summit, and how he was re warded with the wonderful view of the Pacific's rocky shore. Clark, who was on his way to nearby Cannon Beach, spent the night up there. The Navy used it as a radar station in World War 11, building seven wooden buildings to house the men. The Navy also built a four-mile road from the Coast Highway almost to the summit. The 24 boys are from the State Training School for Boys at Wood- burn. Soon there will be a total of 40 boys, and in five to 10 years, the new park will be ready. The idea of having a camp for the Woodburn boys was started 2 'A years ago, when the first camp was started at Cane Look out, 10 miles south of Tillamook. This worked out so well that when the Cape Lookout Job was com pleted last October, the new camp was established on Tillamook Head in Ecola State Park. James Lamb, superintendent ot the Woodburn institution, says the values arc many. Lamb says the boys, who arc IS to 17 years old. tend to lose their feeling ot hostility and re sentment. It helps the school put across he idea that the school is for training boys, not just for punishment. The boys' morale is Improved by the fact that they do useful work, and earn $1 a day for it. The camp relieves the severe overcrowding of the Woodburn in stitution. It's cheaper to keep the boys at the camp, too. And the state gets sume valuable work done. A Cape Lookout, the boys start ed out with tents in the middle of the dense wooded area. They carv ed out the site for their wooden buildings, built roads, made fences to stop the shifting sands, and planted dune grass to stabilize the dunes. They also cleared a sight for the overnight camping and pic nic areas. When they moved up to Tilla mook Head, which is just north of Cannon Beach, the seven Nnvy buildings were in bad shape be cause they'd been abandoned for seven years. The trees and brush had taken over the area. The boys first restored the build ings, and then rebuilt the road. They now are building sand fences and planting dune grass on the beach near Manzanita, 20 miles from camp. In April, they wfD build picnic and camping areas on Tillamook ' Head. A staff of four, Tie aded by T. Vernon Merrick, camp director, runs the camp. The others on the staff are a cook, house parent, and a teacher. The staff should total hx. but there are two vacancies. The boys work six hours a day. The State Parks DepU provides NOVELIST HOLLYWOOD W Novelist Jerome Odium, 48, is dead. He died at his home Tuesday.

Burglars broke in again early Wednesday, Sheriff's Deputy Milo The Motion Picture Academy Is changing the format of the Oscar derby for the first time since it stopped tossing campaign ban quets IS years ago. Last year TV cameras were al lowed to merely photograph the usual cut-and-dried awafd cere mony, criticized for years as being dull. But Hollywood, where TV used to be a bad two-letter word, has given in to the home screens and is offering its biggest annual event as a star-studded variety program. Like Variey Show "Last year as usual it was staged for the 2,200 academy mem bers sitting in the Pantages thea ter." explained Bill Kayden, who is producing the Oscar program for NBC. "The TV cameras were just incidental. "This year we're putting it on as a regular TV program for the 50,000,000 members of the TV au dience at nome. we re even piac. ing cameras right on the stage- just like any TV variety snow. The five nominees for "best song" honors used to be sung by vocalists standing on the stage. Now they'll be presented as lavish production numbers on revolving stages, as on the Hit j'araae TV program. Lavish Sets Movie stars who will present the" gold statuettes to shaking winners no longer will stride out on tne stage from the wings. That isn't "visual" for TV, said Kayden, so the glamour girls will walk out from a door of some lavish set. This year's show also will fea. ture clips from movies to illus trate what the technical Oscars are for, such as special effects and sound. . As usual, half, of the 20 acting nominees arc busy in New York plays. They will gather in a thea ter for a remote control pie up" telecast of a probable win ner, either Audrey Hepburn or Deborah Kerr. "We'll make it a big show in stead of being a routine special event," said Kayden. Even the commercials (for Oldsmobile) will be production numbers. NBC has 100 people, in New York and Hol lywood, working on the Oscar pro- g im. Mothers to Aid Seminarians mount ANf.ET.

The boys are busy all the time. and it's an honor at Woodburn to be chosen to go-to camp. Only the nest Doys get lo go, as the camp officials want boys-who will work hard and won't run away. .
