Peruvian Finds Indians
Cowboys, Gone
Corvallis Juan Bazo, freshman in
lltnral enrineerine at Oregon
State college, from Peru, says he
gained his ideas of the Pacitic nortn
urpct from movies and books, and
was much surprised to see very few
cowboys when he arrived here ana
t find the Indians driving 1938 mod
el cars instead of riding ponies. He
plans to complete his four-year
course at OSC and then return to
his own country to put his new
knowledge into practice.
Virct of the unemployment com
pensation checks were being mailed
out this week, according to v. t.
Bulmore, administrator for the un
employment compensation commis
Rinn. More than 40,000 jobless work
era have filed claims for compensa
tion since the first of the year.
We just picked up a contemporary
newspaper and noted a "by-line"
under an article on skiing. The name
was Ken Binns.
This may or may not be the same
Kenneth Lee Binns we used to go
nature hunting with as a kid in
Heppner. But it may well be him, for
the Ken we knew he was known
among kids in school days as "Bin
go" was fast climbing the sports
writer's ladder the last we heard.
It was probably an inordinate
curiosity that took Ken into the
newspaper field, that and an intro
duction to. the smell of printer's ink
in the old Heppner Herald shop. For
instance, when we were taking biol
ogy together in high school, Ken
wasn't content with bisecting sev
eral house cats, and as our labora
tory partner he prevailed upon us
to assist in an intimate examination
of a feline of the pole variety. It may
be said as tribute to Ken's fortitude
that he stuck with the job until the
skin was removed, our hands were
occupied mainly with nostrils, be
fore he paled under the animal's
vicious malodorsity and decided to
ply his curiosity elsewhere.
Ken received his grade and high
school education in Heppner, leaving
high school to enlist in the navy at
war time. He made a name for him
self as a campus journalist at Ore
gon State college; taking a wife
along with his education, before an
swering a call to the staff of the
Portland Telegram, with which pa
per he rose from the police beat to
sports editor. The last we heard he
was holding a similar position with
a Seattle newspaper.
The last time we ran across Ken
was at a homecoming football game
in Eugene. He had just dropped out
of the air from Portland to cover1
the game.
If the skiing article was not writ
ten by the same Ken, again we say
it might well have been. For Ken
had an inordinate curiosity for
things new, and with skiing just now
coming into importance on the na
tional sports front, it would be like
Ken to be explaining to everyone
