The Hehisch.... Professional Directory The Frankness of Youth Do you know what is wrong with our social or der today? No? Well we do not profess to know the answer either, but have a faint suspicion that the children have not raised their parents properly. Some parents have taken the time to give the question a little thought, while others have been too engrossed in keeping the wheels of progress spinning to devote time to things outside of their regular routine. On the other hand, there is evidence that the young folks have been giving local conditions some thought. They have for several months ad vocated establishment of a recreation center for young people of high school age, a place man eged by themselves under the sponsorship of some responsible organization where they could set their own standards of conduct and mete out pun ishment for violations of those - standards. The young people frankly admit that they do not ap prove of the social atmosphere about some of the public parties and would rather confine their so cial activities to their own age group. They real ize it is too late to do much towards reforming their elders and that the best way to build for the future is to train those who will be the leaders of tomorrow. Speaking for the elders, we wish to admit de reliction of duty. True, we had not given it much thought until a high school senior brought it to our attention at the Chamber of Commerce luncheoon. This young lady did not come with a complaint or a wail about conditions. . She had made a survey and had facts which she presented in an open and frank manner. None could refute her. She laid her cards on the table and they were ".II trumps.' And she propounded a real poser when she asked how the problem of juvenile delinquen cy can be approached when the parents themsel ves set the wrong kind of example. No one ans wered that. This is not an attempt to answer it, either. One can only agree with this young per son who is not looking behind but ahead. Life for her generation lies ahead and serioous minded youth is pondering the question of what is in store if there is not something in life more desirable something worth fighting for, rather than drifting along following the lines of least resistance. 0 Worthy of Consideration Republicans will do well to consider Charles A. Sprague for the party's nominee to fill the unex pired term of the late Senator McNary. It will be remembered that Sprague launched his campaign for governor in 1938 pn a platform of reviving the republican party in Oregon. That he succeeded in a large sense was evidenced in his gaining the nomination that spring and following it with a sweeping victory in the fall. That he lost the nom ination in 1942 was no discredit to his ability. He was opposed by a man whose popularity was state wide with members of both political faiths. Spra gue made a good governor. He broadened his ac quaintance with people and conditions over the state and is eminently qualified to fill the post of United States senator. 0- A Cause for Delay Conditions change rapidly in war time. Two years ago when the Grain -Products, Inc. was or ganized its sponsors had in mind using up surplus wheat in the district. There was a considerable surplus on hand along the Heppner branch at the time and the war had not gotten into second gear.. The company purchased the Carver plant with the intention of moving it to Heppner. A site was se cured adjacent to the Heppner Lumber company mill and a well was drilled. Then the project was halted so far as local operation was concerned. Too many difficulties had to be overcome to estab lish a plant for turning off industrial grain alcohol. Now comes the report that the company will manufacture alcohol from surplus potatoes pro duced in Clackamas and Multnomah counties at the Carver plant. A run of fruit alcohol was made during the winter. This is proving a successful venture for the wheatraiser investors although somewhat contrary to their original plans. One thing is quite certain and that is the local plant will not be set up for the duration not un less a drastic shortage of industrial alcohol be comes apparent. Whereas there was a surplus of wheat two years ago, we are now told that the country may face a shortage next winter regard less of crop conditions this summer. If that is the case there is reason for delaying construction of the local plant and for pushing of production of industrial alcohool from potatoes and wood. As far as the local setup is concerned ground work has been laid and if in the near future, or at a more distant time, it is advisable to go ahead with the original plans, the company will be in po sition to construct and operate the plant with a few years experience in alcohol making as a guide.

The first one will be played in Heppner on Saturday, April 29. The second match with them will be played on May 13 on the Pendleton courts. No soitball games have been sche duled either and hopes for some are rather dull. An intramural softball tournament may be played though. It was voted and passed in stu dent council that the school pur chase new football uniforms. This has been done to the tune of gold with a purple stripe down the baci of the pant leg, Washington State style. With new uniforms and practica' ly the same team back, the 1914 lootball season looks pretty bright except for one thing transporta tion! if (which is a bigger word than it looks) the transport tion prcb lem is solved, then watch the Mus tangs looubaii season.
