La Grande District
Favored By Campers
State parks in the La Grande
district are particularly favored
by those who like to camp in the
great outdoors. Most of these
parks are situated in the foot
hills, on the slopes and in the
forests of the lofty Blue and Wal
lowa Mountains.
Six of the 13 state park areas
in the district have overnight
camping privileges and two of
these are of the improved type.
Over 8,400 campers enjoyed the
improved facilities at Wallowa
Lake State Park last year. Easily
accessible by Oregon State High
way 82, northeast of La Grande
and six miles south of Joseph,
this area is a delightful forested
region at the south end of Wal
lowa Lake at the foot of the rug
ged Wallowa Mountains which
reach peaks of over 10,000 feet.
The overnight camp has 10 trailer
units, each with water, table, elec
tric and waste disposal connec
tions and 47 tent units with
water, tables and electric stoves.
Restrooms, showers and laundry
facilities help make the area an
outdoor home away from home,
and recretion includes swimming,
fishing, boating, hiking and
horseback riding nearby.
Another Improved campsite is
at Kmigrant Springs State Park,
on U. S. Highway 30 just 26 miles
east of Pendleton in the Blue
Mountains. Here is another de
lightful forested park area with
an historic spring. It was used as
a campsite by emigrants on the
Old Oregon Trail. The camp area
has 50 units, 18 for trailers and 32
for tent camping. Tables, stoves,
water, restrooms, showers, and
laundry facilities are available.
Other unimproved campsites in
the district are Hilgard Junction
Park, 8 miles west of La Grande on
U. S. 30 at the junction of Starkey
lioad; lied Bridge State Park,
seven and a half miles up Grande
Konde River from the junction of
Starkey Road with U. S. 30;
Catherine Creek State Turk, eight
miles east of Union on State
Route 203 and the Ukiah-Dale.
Forest Wayside, 50 miles south of
Pendleton on U. S. Route 395. All
of these parks also have water,
restrooms, tables and stoves.
Though overnight camping fa
cilities are predominant in the
La Grande district, there are seve
ral other park areas of note. "
Battle Mountain State Park,
consisting of 420 acres of some of
the finest pine woodland In East
ern Oregon, is particularly a
favorite of picnickers. It is lo
cated nine miles north of Ukiah
on U. S. 3!)5.
Viewpoints are maintained In
the district at Emigrant Hill
Overlook, south of Pendleton;
Blue Mountain Forest Wayside in
protective areas between Pendle
ton and La Grande and at
Gangloff Park, overlooking the
city of La Grande, north of town.
Picnic facilities are available
on U, S. Highway 2(1 southeast of
Unity at the Unity Forest Way
side. Negotiations are now in process
for development of the Hat Rock
Park area on McNary Dam Lake

Employment Service
Offers Labor Supply
PORTLAND Harrison W. Bur
ton, of the Log & Lumber Employ
ment Service at 324 West Burn
side street, announced here last
week that he Is extending his
employment service to include
the furnishing of all types of
labor anywhere' in the state.
Stating that here-to-fore the
service has been confined to hir
ing for the lumber industry, Bur
tone added: "Although not flock
ing in, it is noticeable the increas
ing number of people from the
mid-west and other states that
are coming to Portland looking
for work, figuring that it is the
labor supply center of Oregon.
They range from farm hands to
cooks, clerks and mechanics;
most of them have a few dollars
and a car, and are willing to pay
a nominal fee for reliable place
ments; some are 'broke' but look
like good sober help; some have
families with them; others are
just 'following work'. Having
the opportunity, as I do in my lo
cation, to meet these people and
provide the medium of furnishing
them with those throughout the
state who are in need of their
varied service, I am responding
to an urge to be helpful by ex
tending my service to bring the
two elements together."

I ontiac stands alone in its
ability to match features and
quality with the finest cars at a
price right next to the lowest.
Heauty-wise, Pontiac gets ad
miring glances everywhere, and
this same fine styling carries
through to its luxurious inte
riors. Under the hood there's power
to spare-and Pontiac handles to
easily, It's the closest you've ever
come to effortless driving.
But Pontiac's greatest point of
value is in its reputation for long
life, dependability and economi
cal operation.
In short, no car offers so much
quality at so low a cost. A few
minutes in our showroom and a
few miles behind the wheel are
all the proof you'll need.
