Who Knows the Answer?
From time to time the problem of vouth delin
quency bobs up and each time we find ourselves
farther away from solving the question. It is a
matter that is claiming the attention of churches,
social groups, and the law enforcement officers
throughout the land, so that we see it is not a
purely local situation.
Some of the present social unrest among the
younger people may be attributed to the war. No
doubt a lot of it may be credited to that source. On
the other hand there have been contributing fac
tors during peace time which merely were stepped
up during the war when there were fewer law en
forcement officials and less guidance to keep the
youngsters in line with generally accepted social
order. This makes the task of rehabilitating the
wayward and misguided youth more difficult un
der peacetime conditions for many of them grew
up, or thought they had, and their sense of matu
rity is offended if it is suggsted that they live
their actual age. They have made big wages the
past few years and feci they are entitled to spend
the money as they see fit. Most of them have cars
at their command and with a few dollars for gas
and spending money they can have themselvses a
whale of a time they think.
Well, what are we going to do about it? The
youngsters are merely emulating their elders if
not their own, some other kid's and passing laws,
ordinances and the like seems to be no barrier to
their progress in the wrong direction.
If someone has the answer to this serious pro
blem let him, or her, come forward with it. The
columns of this nwspaper will be placed at the
disposal of those who wish to make public their
views. This offer is subject to the usual editorial
restrictions but is made with the hope of getting
some community interest stirred up.
to have the answer. The task will require study

and will also require money. If we as a communi
ty' are willing to accept the challenge and go out to
give our young people the kind of protection they
are entitled to we can lick the problem locally and
lend some influence to other communities striv
ing to overcome the same difficulty.
o
Better Buy a Cow
Announcement by the secretary of agriculture
that butter prices will be advanced as much as
eighteen cents per pound by the first of April is
anything but comforting, to the average American
housewife. Accustomed to restrictions during the
war, making sacrifices in ine cause of victory,
Mrs. America is wondering what she will be able
to use as a substitute for fats.
We are told that the advance in price is to al
low butter makers to make up the loss sustained
when government subsidy was removed and at the
same time encourage greater production of butter
fat. This may be a justifiable move for it is cer
tain that butter is not too plentiful. Dairymen still
in the business are there largely because they had
the fortitude to stay with it during troublous
times. Others gave up, sold their stock and went
into other lines. The shortage thus created will
require several seasons to replace and it looks like
Mr. and Mrs. America and all the little Americans
will have to spread their butter a little thinner.
About the only remedy locally would be to buy
a cow and become independent if you can find
the cow and somebody, to milk her.
A Deserved Honor
Elevation of Frank W. Turner to the presiden
cy of the lieppner Chamber of Commerce is rec
ognition of one whose services have always been
will-ngly given to any move for the good of the
coi uri unity. As secretary for several years he was
instrumental in keeping the organization more or
less active, maintaining a well paid up member
ship. His new position will provide an outlet for
exercise of an abundance of booster spirit and
should mark new progress in the field of business
and civic improvement.
The new president has made no statement of
policy other than that he is interested in some
highway and road development for one thing, and
is giving careful consideration to selection of a
committee to handle this important phase of cham
ber work.
While on this subject it seems proper to bring
up the matter of changing the name from Heppner
Chamber of Commerce to Morrow County Cham
ber of Commerce. There are many good reasons
for doing this and this newspaper for one would
like to see such a proposal given consideration at
an early data. The scope of a chamber of com
merce reaches beyond the limits of the town and
if the organization is to be made really effective
it will have to look to the welfare of the county as
a whole. In reality that has been the motivating
spirit but the name carries the implication of a bit
of selfishness. This could be erased not entirely
perhaps by changing the nam to a county rather
than a town basis.
