The Boy Scout Problem It is unfortunate that the Blue Mountain coun cil of the Boy Scouts chose this week, Boy Scout Week, to bring into the open their differences with the Morrow county Community Chest over the problem of financing. The week is supposed to be a time for the Scouts to tell of their accomplish ments of the past year and to show off some of the work they have completed and projects they are planning. We don't believe it was meant as a time to bring out the financing troubles they, and every other purely volunteer organization, have at one time or another. Their public complaint seems rather ill timed to us. The withdrawal from the local Community Chest and the announcement that the Blue Moun tain council would carry on its own fund raising campaign, stems from the fact that the directors of the local chest reduced the allotment to the Scouts from Ihe 1!)!")2 collections on the grounds that the county was not getting as much in re turn Horn the Blue Mountain council as the Chest was paying it for its guidance and assistance in Scouting and Cubbing in the county. The money alloted to the District council comes hack to the local organizations, in the form of leadership, training, organization, planning aid etc., not as actual financial assistance to the local troops,, who must bo self supporting within themselves. The difference of opinion sterns from the fact that the Chest directors, and apparently local scout leaders too, have a different idea from the executives of the Blue Mountain council as to what the assistance is supposed to include. Hepp ner and Lexington are the only towns in the county where Scout and Cub troops are active, and the directors by their decision to allot only Ufa percent of the Chest funds (a reduction from the 25 percent given the year before) appeared to feel that it was not fair for the rest of the residents of the county, who's children do not get Scouting benefits, to have to pay for something they were not receiving. On the other hand, the Scout council said they planned to use the additional funds requested to put on an other executive (hat they might better serve this area. We feel certain that none of the parties to the disagreement have any quarrel with Scouting it self, In fact some of them have stated that they believe it to bo one of the finest boys' organiza tions In existance for the boys get a type of training they can get no other way. Yet, if any Community Chest is to continue to get support from Ihe public in its fund drive, its directors must use, their best judgment in where the money Is to be 'spent and in what proportions, On the other hand, if the Blue Mountain council is doing the job it Is supposed to be doing, as it claims It is, it should be entitled to sufficient money from this area to meet its needs. We feel, after having heard at least a good part of the discussion on both sides, that the coun cil or its representatives have failed to fully con vince the Chest directors of this, or have failed to fully explain to them exactly what they are trying to do. We have been assured that representatives of the Blue Mountain Scout council will be invited to sit down with the Chest directors in the very near future and discuss the matter. If the directors are convinced that they made a mistake, we feel sure they will do what is within their power to make amends. If the council is found at fault in some manner we sincerely hope they will do the same. We hope an agreement can be reached for we want to see Scouting advanced in Morrow county, not retarded and we question whether a private fund drive at this time would net much return. In the meantime, this is Boy Scout Week, and the boys, their hard working Scoutmasters, Cub masters and Den Mothers, deserve a lot of credit for the work they are doing, this week and every week, and if there are to be more Boy Scout troops and Cub Scout Packs there must be more inter ested mothers and dads to lead them. If this week does nothing more than focus attention on that need, it will have accomplished its purpose. It's Those Gremlins Again Every so often around a newspaper office, after things have been sailing along smoothly for a few weeks, the little men that everybody knows exist, yet never actually see at work, come forth in force to make life miserable for someone. They are usually known as gremlins and when they decide to make their presence known, no amount of care, perserverence or proofreading can undo all of their dirty work. They snuck up on us the other day. We're not going to complan too loudly for they didn't work as hard on us as they might have, though they did succeed in messing up a couple of news stories, but they didn't treat us like they did the East Oregonian and the Oregon Journal recently where the little bums got into the lino type machines and caused some face-reddening misspelling of words. In one of our cases we think they were out to cross up some of our readers when they deliber ately put the wrong date on a story about the Lexington Smorgasbord. We know perfectily good and well we wrote mat it was to ne neiu on saiur day, February 11, but they must have been mad at somebody so they changed the date to February 8 in hopes some of the customers would go hungry that night. What they've got against Mehl LaVelle and Lee Oronemyer who don't know, but when we set the story recently about the Heppner Cleaners bowling team going to the Hillsboro tourney, they pulled tlioir names rifht out of the conv and left them home. Anybody should know that you can't have a bowling team with just four members but not our gremlin. They've pulled a good many other common little tricks too, like sneaking up behind our back and throwing out a classified ad that's supposed to run another week or two, but as long as they are content with just being mischevious and not too bothersome we'll probably let 'em stick around. Anyway, we don't just know how to go about get ting shut of the little pests if we could. daughter Mr. and Mrs. Albert.arv 1' for active duty Macomber, going to Heppner oni Cpl William Califf, Mrs. Calif f Friday evening with the Macom-and young son arrived from Camp bers to watch the basketball jstoneman, Calif., for two days gome between Arlington and theuere with' their parents Mr. and Heppner high teams.

Pendleton, Oregon Phone 338 From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson Herbert Hynd of Hynd Bros., rotonone must be used every two I of the way. Driving by the Hynd ranch a few days ago, seeing an the activity going on in prepa ration for lambing, which will start about February 15, is an other reason for having the ir rigating done now. Cot days called at the office a few ago and inquired about mixing DDT and Rotonone for a dual-purpose spray for control ling lice and grubs at one spray ing. The mixture, 8 pounds of 51)',, wetalile DDT and 7'-j pounds W rotonone per 100 gallons of water that many ranchers are using this time of year was recommended. It takes two gal lons per mature cow for good coverage. Rotonone is the only insecticide that will control grubs, while DDT is effective on lice and is preferred over roto none as it wll remain as a resi due to kill hatching nits, while weeks to kill any nits that have hatched. While visiting with Herb, we found that he has only a couple days left of irrigating and he will have covered the whole ranch. Herb says he feels safer getting the irrigating out of the way early before the water runs short, With the little snow in die mountains, many new fields prepared for irrigation and scores of sprinkler systems that get first "lick" at the water installed during the past few years, we can see what he means. The past month has been most satisfactory for getting this job done and out From time to time we hear ranchers, but more often rancher's wives, complain about hot, dry or cold winds that blow through the farm yards and make life a little uncomfortable. This is my "que" for plugging a windbreak or a shellerbelt planting to protect the farmstead. One need only drive a few miles through Morrow County to see that this recom mendation has not been one to "bear much fruit." Many times the answer is that it takes too long for trees to become estab lished or that "trees won't grow- in my community."
