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.

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.

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.

SPOKTS PREVIEW
'iv tennis matches have been
scheduled with Pendleton. So far,
these two matches are the only
ones scheduled! 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.
