Former Heppner Man
Saves River Victim
Scott McMurdo, Corvallis, son
of Dr and Mrs A D McMurdo
of Heppner, has been credited
with possibly saving the life of
a Lebanon youth recently when
he successfully gave artificial
respiration after the victim had
nearly drowned In the South
Santlam river near Lebanon.
The boy, Robert Goergen, 14
was swimming under water us
ing a snorkel tube for breathing
when he apparently stepped in
a hole and went out of sight.
Three Albany boys swimming
nearby pulled the boy from the
water and McMurdo, who was
close by, had the youngster con
scious by the time Lebanon fire
men arrived with a resuscitator.

DELINQUENCY APPROACH
A cooperative exchange of
findings and correctives relating
to juvenile delinquency will be
proposed to committees and
groups In other Oregon cities by
a Salem group of social workers
who met for the first time at
a Salem hotel Friday.
Much of the trouble attributed
to teen-agers, said Judge Joseph
Felton, Is actually caused by
young adults, ranging from 19 to
25 years old, who are old enough
to know better. They are not only
a menace to themselves, but in
fluence juveniles to be hood
lums. He said that most of the 49
youths who were rounded-up
when Salem officials learned
they were assembling to stage
gang warfare near Dallas two
weeks ago, were not juveniles.
Salem's Chief of Police Clyde
Warren told the group that en
forcement of the curfew ordi
nance Is not a complete answer
to delinquency problems be
cause many of the offenders are
above curfew age.
Carl Nelson, director of the
Marion County Juvenile Depart
ment, advised that more atten
tion be given to unsupervised
groups and the part automobiles
play in youth problems. Delin
quency of parents and teachers
in relation to the problem was
discussed. Later meetings of the
group were arranged and the
meeting was adjourned when
someone suggested the delin
quency of social workers and
officials be added to the objec
tives of the organization.
CONSTRUCTION GAINS
Oregon's unannounced and al
most unnoticed building boom
should take the moaning out of
tax-paying time for 1959 at
least, and longer If voters refrain
from voting more bonds and de
mand that their legislators cut
appropriations.
Oregon led all but two western
states Irr percentage of construc
tion last year, according to Wes
tern Building magazine.
Of the 13 western states in-!
eluding Alaska and Hawaii, Ore-1
gon's construction gain over 1957
was third highest with 46 per
cent in dwelling units and the

Oregon was fourth with an 8

New Mexico and Wyoming. A

zona and New Mexico.
POPULATION QUIZ

ties on population Increase will
be consulted by the U S Bureau
of Census In Its August popula

The authorities? Married wo
men of course. They will be ask

vital concern to government,
