Worse Thon Fire
Something vrarsc than firo, possibly, is affect
ing Ihe timber in the Blue Mountain area, accord
ing to forest officials, lumber operators and others
who use the forest. The spruce budworm which
has been calling for chocking of certain sections
since 1944 is setting in its deadly work and unless
something drastic is done, and that real soon, this
section stands to lose heavily in merchantable
timber.
Because of the wide spread of this menace, due
in this particular region to a lack of funds with
which to fight it, it may be said to be mo!re de
structive than fire. As a usual thing fire can be
brought under control in a matter of hours, or a
few days, confining the loss to restricted areas.
In the case of the spruce budworm, numerous
areas may be affected at the same time and if
left uncontrolled it is but a matter of time and
not too long until whole belts of valuable timber
are killed.
At the present time several thousand acres of
fine timber are under attack by this vicious de
stroyer in the Heppner ranger district Since 1944
some control work has been done but this year,
due to a lack of funds, the budworms are working
unhampered and there is danger that a consider
able block of valuable timber will be lost.
This is something in which all of us are vital
ly interested. Not only does it affect the timber
industry in this region but it will have a bearing
on grazing and the watershed, and, worst of all,
thousands of acres of dead tmiber will create
about the worst fire hazard one could think of.
This is a matter calling for action by civic
groups, the county court and all interested individ
uals. It will require some pressure on the author
ities in Washington and this may be accomplished
through intervention of our congressman and the
two senators. They will not know about the sit
uation unless we write them.
It's The People's Fair
The forthcoming Morrow County Fair will be
just as big and successful as the people wish to
make it This can be done by every grower, or
producer, taking the time to select and prepare
exhibits and putting them on display at the fair.
The officials can's conjure up a lot of wonderful
things and arrange them In an attractive manner
for the enjoyment and edification of the public.
Their job Is to provide the proper display space
and see that awards are properly distributed. It
is up to the producers to provide the exhibits.

WASHINGTON, D. C. The
strange division of Congress on
much of the Truman "fare deal"
program is blamed on the Amer
ican people by most Congression
al observers.
This group, in a discussion of
Congressional activity, or inactiv.
ity, are agreed that members of
Congress are much more realistic
about the 194S election returns
than is President Truman and his
advisors.
They pointed out that many
sion.
For example, one Congressman
remarked recently that he has
received a lot of letters from
constituents who admitted rue
fully they hadn't voted in the
Presidential election last year,
but they certainly were going to
vote in the next election.
Most of the 435 members of the
Democrat Congressmen won
seats in States which Truman
carried by very scant majorities
and in other instances in which
Dewey actually was the winner.
Since members of Congress win
only on the popular vote and not
by any misleading advantage in
the electoral college, they keep a
sharp weather eye on what the
folks back home are thinking.
MAIL TELLS THE TALE
This consideration, the observ
ers said, has been emphasized by
a strangeness in the mail being
received during the present ses
House of Representatives and
many of the Senators who face
elections in 1950 are from areas
where any sizable change of
mind by those who did not see fit
to vote in 194S would create a
:ia;';ird.
Many Congressmen, these ob
servers contend, are convinced
that most of the 45.000,000 who
failed to vote in 1948 are not in
favor of the Truman spending
program.
SOLONS TO SAMPLE
SENTIMENT
That is why, they say, so many
Truman program bills are resting
in Committees and why the bills
which have been passed have
attracted some strange voting
combinations.
Quite a number of Congress
men, according to those who get
around on both sides of the Hill,
are going to let Mr. Truman's
program remain quietly in Com
mittees until the second session , sarily mean that he is going to do
of the 81st Congress. exactly as President Truman des
