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.

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.

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."
Nevertheless, there are some
very promising windbreaks in

"SCIENTIFIC SOIL ANALYSIS
PAID OFF FOR flE"
Merle Kausche, farmer-stockman of Pome
roy, Wash., sought our professional ad
vice on fertilizing needs when he decided
to recrop a field to barley. The field had
produced 45 bushels of fall wheat in 1951.
"They based their recommendations on
chemical soil analyses. The 20 acres I left
in midficld (unfertilized check strip) pro
duced grain too short for anything but
pasture. The fertilized area produced 1500
lbs. per acre. That's the sort of 'pay-dirt'
help KFMS can give any farmer."
