It has been said that the state Is not Interested in developing areas not served by state hlchways. We do not know If this is true, but the chamber Is looking Into it. The organization is making an effort to encourag:e any state help. Certainly If more people are coming to the county, they will be seeking recreation. It Is something that needs prime consideration. Breathing Room and Shapely Trees On an outing up Willow Creek on a recent warm evening we found a wonderful spot. Grassy meadows were flanked by a variety of evergreen trees, and Willow Creek tinkled merrily down through the setting. A thoughtful camper had left a crude but efficient table, a small rock fireplace and even dug a pit for KUrVeKcouldn,t help but notice, however, how sharpely the ever greens were-so full and well balanced. We mused on this sub Ject and remembered that last Christmas In the North Santlam country we had hunted a long time to find a shapely tree, one that had limbs well rounded. ' Then it occurred that the reason Is obvious. The trees are not so crowded here. They have room to grow and develop In their own full shapes. , The thought comes that this may also apply to humans. Ter haps those who grow up In more sparsely settled areas may have opportunity to develop more fully In their own natural way with out being so influenced by the environment of dense populations.

Just as we hit the sidewalk, the form buck led and the straining plywood lent way down with ihe weight. It looked for a moment as if The Special Edition might end right there In an inglorious heap on the sidewalk. Arnold, grunting under his end of the load, look ed helplessly at me; I, panting under the weight of my side, looked helplessly back at him. Should we diop the whole thing right there in a heap on the side walk after a wearj'ine night, for get the Special Edition and go to bed We didn't. Somehow we man aged to hunch it on the truck bed and numbly fitted the pieces back together in the chase. (After the edition was published our good new friend, Dr. A. D. McMurdo, was protuse in praise of the paper, "It was almost a miracle!" suld he. Arnold and I thought it a miracle that we ever got those two pages on that truck when it looked as if we had a pile of pied type on our hands). We can laugh about it now. This was the bottom in the production of The Special, but others nearly as bad. We went through the ceremonies of going to bed alter tnis inci dent of the nearly-pied pages, but only to get up in an hour to take off for Woodburn. Arnold's truck, virtues or which he extolled In proud terms, didn't seem to like tne luea oi ihu iinr run to Woodburn. By the time we reached Arlington on a reprovingly hot day, the tern ncriiture needle was striving des perately to push past the pin ihnt st ots it at the extremity on the right, and great gurgling sounds came from the bowels of the cooling system. A flush job would cure all, we thought, and a service station man did his best. Ten miles later, though the truck was objecting strenuously again. Another service station man at Biggs exclaimed with triumph when he located the "trouble," a loose hose. It did n't sound right, but he bet the price of his work that our troubles were over, and we struck out once more. From that time on, the trip tn Portland was a succession of steaming emergency stops, but our 12 pages of Welcome were bouncing along merrily on the bed of the truck. By the time we reached Banfield expressway, the 7 was rac ne. un on ine motor was burning and filling the cab with smoke; the radiator turned and frothed with the torment of Hades. Arnold grabbed his can teen, scurried across the freeway, vanitpH a fence and appealed to flood Neiehbor working In his yard. Two trips or cool water quieted the truck until we made service station on union Avenue to regroup our forces. In the process of the heating ind hectic confusion of time in thu nr.'at State of Oreeon. the writ.r missed a wedding about which he previously reported. Rut ftnallv we limped into Woodburn and started the press run. Kxoectine to spend part of the night in slumber, we rented a nice motel room and told the proprietor we would be in late. That was not true. We were in early the next morning. Dawn blossomed over the valley be fore we drove past the milkmen makitu: their rounds ana neaaea fur tlm motel.

Arnold arose to the occasion and put in 50 weight oil. This seemed to be the ticket and the truck pcifoimed like a champion from there on out. 1 1 don't know if he put the oil In wih a sioon or a paddle! I. Had It not been for the fact that some supply house sent us some short grain newsprint (short grain is the bane of some presses it won t feed properly.

The automatic feeder of the Miehlo functioned perfectly until it hit this slioii grain, then hour ltt-r he had a new tongue fashioned out of that piece of Iron, and it looked as if it came right out of the Miehle part catalog. A bout 4 a. m. we were oper ational again, and then cam the wearying process of finish ing the 4UI0 run. and folding the whole wail "Baling hay" as we sometimes call It in the busi ness.

After the first night's ordeal over there, he sidled up to me and murmeied, "Isn't your enthusiasm waning Just a little bit?"' I He caught me at a bad mo-, ment. I didn't answer and don't know how I would have an-; swered, had I been pressed. Now., after the edition has "gone to bed" there would be no equlv-1 ocation. Our enthusiasm has not i waned. I We knew that there were om-1 missions in this paper. We want- j ed to say more about such things as the Morrow County Creamery; and its colorful owners, Mr. and Mrs. Claude Cox; we had plctuies of Herb Ekstrom and his cham- j pion Herefords; we wanted more, on lodges of the county; more on its recreation; and a good story irom naipu nii SmiI fonserxation wa leit wit.
