A Code of Living
In these days when the evidence points to a
widespread weakening of the American moral
fibre with major crimes climbing faster even than
the increase in population, it is encouraging to see
that a great moral force in America is growing
even stronger.
The Boy Scouts of America celebrates its 42nd
birthday (luring Boy Scout Week, February 6 to 12.
It is an occasion when we can pause and consider
its mark on the youth of the nation. Since 1910,
more than nineteen million American boy and
men have been influenced by this Scout Oath:
"On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country, and to
obey the Scout Law.
To help other people at all times.
To keep myself physically strong, mentally
awake, and morally straight."
For its young men members, known as Ex
plorers, the Boy Scouts of America has this dedi
cation pledge, which could well he adopted by
all Americans:
"I will live the Scout Oath and Law. I will
bo familiar with the Declaration of Independence,
the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights of the Uni
ted States of America. I will respect and obey the
law in order to have security and freedom.
"I will share the responsibility of my home,
school, church, neighborhood, and community;
and when legally of age, I will register and vote in
all elections. I will deal fairly and kindly with
my fellow citizens of whatever race or creed, in
the spirit of the Scout Law and America's tradition
of equality of opportunity.
"I will work to preserve our American heritage
of litK-rty and responsibility. I acknowledge
that the privileges we enjoy were won by the hard
work, and sacrifices, faith and clear thinking of
our forefathers. I will do all in my power to pass
on a Ix'tter America to the next generation." ,
Hoppner's Boy Scout and Cub Scout organiza
tions are active and under the direction of capable
leaders, but the job has fallen to too few. Men and
women, (Cub scout den mothers) interested in
Scouting can successfully handle and guide but a
limited number of boys and there are many more
who would take an active part in scouting if more
troops and dens were oien to them.
Scouting to be successful must have the whole
hearted cooperation of both mothers and dads if
all our boys are to go "Forward on Liberty's Team."

GOT SOMETHING MAYBE
Elaine Berry, Portland, a demo
cratic worker may do far more
for republican candidates in Ore
gon than for one of her own
party.
Mrs. Berry is credited with orig
inating the idea of printing and
selling sheets of stamps to aid
in financing the presidential cam
paign of Sen. Estes Kefauver (D.
Tenn.)
The stamps being sent over the
state are about the size of hori
zontal commemorative wslage
stamps, have a jKirtrait of Kefau
ver in sepia and "Kefauver for
President" in red letters at the
bottom of the panel. The sheets
of 50 stamps are sold for $1.
Political counselors are talking
up the use of the idea to bring
into the running good men who
refuse to accept campaign funds
in large amounts that violate the
corrupt practice laws.
REPUBLICAN MOLD SHIFTS
Decisions made last week by
two Eastern Oregon statesmen
will have considerable bearing on
Oregon polities. In each case
long tenures of office will termi
nate. Rep. Lowell Stockman who last
week announced he vould not
be a candidate to succeed him
self, has represented his district
n congress since 191.J.
State Representative G lies
French, Moro, publisher of the
wit-besprinkled Sherman County
Journal, filed his candidacy Fri
day for the republican nomina
tion for U. S. representative. He
has been a member of the state
legislature continuously since
1935.
PARTY LEADERS SELECTED
Captains lo pilot the republican
and the democrat Oregon cam
paigns in 1952 were elected Satur
day at separate meetings. In each
case the election was to fill a
vacancy made by the resignation
of a chairman of a state central
committee. Robert A. Elliott,
Medford, was elected chairman
of the republican state central
committee. He succeeds Sigfried
B. Unander who resigned and is
expected to file his candidacy for
the republican nomination for
state treasurer.
Elliott defeated Ed Boehnke of

TAFT IN OREGON
Sen. Robert A. Taft is scheduled
to visit Oregon Feb. 13 and 14. He
will be accompanied by his poli
tical manager, David S. Ingalls of
Cleveland, Ohio, and others of his
campaign staff. A press confer
ence in Portland is on the agenda
for the 13th. The Ohio senator will
talk before a church group and at
the Portland Public Auditorium
the same day. On the 14th he
will attend a banquet and public
meeting in Pendleton.
TRUCK FEES UP
Truck fees collected by the Ore
gon Public Utilities Commission
during January totaled $534,503
This was the highest total for any
January in the history of. the
commission.
The total was $15,000 more than
in January, 1951, which had been
the best January on record.
WHO LET THE CAT OUT
Ten Mile Lake in Coos county
was one of the miracle trout fish
ing spots in America in the mid
dle thirties.
It was the only place we ever
heard of where big two-pound
native trout would consistently
grab any large yellow fly that hit
the water, but this unaccountable
feeding habit (there were many
theories) would last only from
20 to 40 minutes just at dusk.
Fishermen came far to thrill
over this rarety in sport fishing
and many a bait fisherman was
converted to ethical fly fishing by
the free and sure striking of the
big fish. The stunt gave the state
wide advertising.
Recently Attorney General
George Neuner ruled that the
state game commission had the
authority to use commission
funds (derived from license fees
paid by game fishermen) to hire
commercial fishermen to sein out
catfish that now overpopulate

Irrigon Voters
OK School Bonds
Irrigon voters last Friday voted
overwhelming approval for a
$50,000 bond issue which will be
used to construct a new grade
the lake and have spoiled its
fame as an egregious trout spot.
Sometime, someone let the
"cat" out of the bag, and into the
lake. That started the destruc
tion of an unusual fishing eden
that may not be reestablished.
