Fascinating Prospect of Delta Park
A recent hour-long program over KGW-TV presented the
plan for Portland's proposed $23.5 million Delta Park develop
ment, upon which the metropolitan voters will decide at the
upcoming election.
The proposal is so boldly progressive that it is making Port
land's old-time conservatives turn pale, and those who are now
deceased might roll uncomfortably in their graves.
But it is a far-looking plan that could do wonders, not only
for the city, but also for the entire state and the whole North
west. Heart of the proposal is a huge covered stadium that would
be used for sports football, baseball and others as well
as for big trade shows, national political conventions, and
events of a magnitude for which the Northwest to this time has
had no accommodation.
There would be no more sitting in the rain for football
fans, nor playing on a sloppy field. Spectators would hava the
ultimate in comfort with theater-type seats provided.
This tremendous development would eventually include two
36-hole golf courses, an Olympic-size swimming pool and oppor
tunity for almost every conceivable sport and recreation.
Space would be provided for parking 17,000 autos, all within
short distance of the stadium gate, and proponents declare
that all cars could exit within an hour's time. The park is in
the general location of the Pacific International Exposition
building.
Portland for many years has had the reputation of being
ultra-conservative among the nation's "little big" cities. But a
few years ago, when voters, in one surge, kicked over the
traces and provided for the Memorial Coliseum, the zoo develop
ment, port improvements and other facilities, it was evident
that an clement of farsighted progressive thinking was moving
up.
Those who looked with disdain upon Memorial Coliseum
(the Glass Palace) should by this time be eating crow. It has
opened new vistas for the city, brought new money to the
city, and bolstered the economy. Look at all the hotels and
motels that have sprung up the Sheraton, Hilton, Cosmopoli
tan, Doric and others.
Those who were bold enough to propose the Delta Park plan
have prepared their ground well. They have economic surveys to
show that for every dollar invested, Multnomah county resi
dents will receive up to nine dollars back, feeding into the
business community.
The city would use this facility in bargaining for the Olympic
games, and with such an attraction as Delta Park iti would
have the potential of drawing from a wide area, tunneling
some prosperity to the entire Northwest just as Seattle's World
Fair did. Oregon was a major beneficiary from the Fair because
of the added tourism.
Those living outside of Multnomah county can look upon
this proposal with keen interest, delightful to the imagination.
None of our tax dollars would go to it, but it is certain that
we couldn't resist helping to pay for it by our attendance at
the big events it would attract. One almost certain result, for
instance, is that Portland would receive a pro football franchise.
Is there a football fan in Morrow county who could resist attend
ing at least a few of these games?
And what a wonderful thing it would be to have adequate
parking space. In going to games at Multnomah Stadium, it is
always a question whether it is worth the long hikes necessary
to get back to the car and then to fight the congestion.
On a per capita basis, Portland's big sports events, ice shows
and trade fairs probably get almost as good attendance from
eastern Oregon counties as they do from the big city. At least
one never goes to these things without seeing some of his home
acquaintances.
Whether Delta Park is voted or not and it undoubtedly has
lots of opposition it shows that at least a segment of Port
land's population is coming alive, and this type of thinking
on smaller scale can well be emulated around the state.
In the Spirit of Dale
It is said that Dale Carnegie, author of "How to Win Friends
and Influence People," lived to a ripe old age anil died with
a smile on his face. A cynical critic of the Carnegie philosophy
wrote a parody'How to Lose Friends and Alienate People." This
fellow comniiiteed suicide at age 38.
During the past 13 weeks there lias been considerable
Carnegie 'influence evident in Heppner and lone as 25 persons
have been taking the course on Effective Speaking and Human
delations here. While each "student" gives two short talks of
various kinds at each session, the public speaking objective is
third in the list of go;ils set in the course. The other two, build
ing self confidence and human relations, rank above it.
The course is drawing to a close here. The final session ti lth)
will be Tuesday night in the Odd Fellows hall at 7:15 and
visitors are welcome.
Those who have been taking the course can see obvious
benefits to many of their fellow students. Some who at the
first session could speak only a few sentences in front of the
group, and those with considerable hesitancy, can now give
a good fluent talk and radiate self-confidence while doing it.
Others, who had speaking experience at the start, have
learned to be more concise in public speaking and consequently
more effective.
It is doubtful that one could take the Carnegie training
without recognizing that the world would be a happier place
if everyone practiced its precepts, all of which are consistent
with Christianity. Here are some of them: "Don't criticize,
condemn or complain," "Give honest, sincere appreciation."
"Be a good listener," "Smile," "The only way to get the best
of an argument is to avoid it."
Incorporated in the course are teachings on "How to Stop
Worrying and Start Living." They are practical, workable
suggestions.
You may not realize it, but perhaps in a contact with one
of those who has been taking the course recently, you may
have missed being involved in a disagreeable argument because
he checked himself from saying what he was tempted to say
because of this training.
Since this class started here, the question has often been
asktd, "Why isn't something like this taught In our school
system?" We do not know the answer to that. At a time when
progress in the human relations front is being left far in the
distance behind scientific advancement, it is a thing that
deserves pondering.

Judge Howell Deserves Support
Eastern Oregon presents a well-qualified and experienced
candidate for the Supreme Court, position No. 7, on the non
partisan ballot at the primary election. He is Judge Edward II.
Howell of John Day, a man who deserves solid support of voters
at large across the state.
Attorneys who have appeared in his court express confidence
in him, and he is strongly supported by newspapers and business
men of the eastern part of the state.
One thing that is working in Judge Howell's favor is that
he has traveled widely in his judicial duties. He has held court
in 26 of Oregon's 36 counties and thereby has had opportunity
to get better acquainted statewide than east Oregonian office
seekers usually have. Judge Howell served as Supreme Court
Justice pro tern in 1960 and 1961.
Probably voters know far less about those seeking office
on the nonpartisan ballot than those on party tickets. The
nonpartisans seldom get embroiled in controversy and therefore
do not draw the spotlight or attention. It is right that this be
so because there is an objectivity about the law that should
be inviolate and those of the judiciary should have a dignity
that truly represents this objectivity.
By the same token, election of a justice from eastern Oregon
could not be expected to return any favors to this part of the
state, since it is non-political. By contrast, a man elected from
this section to the legislature would be expected, of course, to
work for wheat and cattle interests and other things we rep
resent. But a judge cannot do this because it is his duty to
represent the law as it is written, with impartiality.
If Judge Howell is chosen he will be the first justice to
the Supreme Court elected from eastern Oregon in 50 years. His
record, ability and integrity merit his election, and voters of
this part of the state should consider casting their ballots for
him with the knowledge that they would be choosing a com
petent man whose eastern Oregon background might lend some
prestige to this part of the state.
Undoubtedly the other candidates for the position are qual
ified, too, but the. John Day judge deserves top consideration
from eastern Oregon.

COMING OF DAYLIGHT savings
time seemed to have been
Drettv well master-minded this
year, as if accomplishing a sud
den transition from the cold days
of winter and early spring to a
warm summer time. On cue was
the first big fly of the season
buzzing around the G-l omce
Sunday, and Tuesday was a
beautiful warm day best ot tne
year following some chilly
weather.
Nothing and no one seemed to
be too badly discombooberated
by the switch. Only one we know
who was tossed for a loss was
Bill Nelson, high school teacher,
who arrived in church Sunday
mornine iust as the sermon was
about to be concluded.
There were some disgrunteled
murmurs among housewives and
ranchers, the mothers because it
was harder to get youngsters up
in the morning. Mrs. can tueuyj
Marauardt suggested that the
best way to solve this dayngnt
bit would be for time to stay
on regular scneauie ana Busi
nesses and industries by mutual
agreement, all go to work an
hour earlier and auit an hour
parlier. But we better not set in
to that again, or the battle will
be on once more:
w
WE'RE HAPPY to report that
Bob Lowe has finally got his
nassnnrt nhoto Droblem settled,
but the passports haven't arrived
yet for his May departure ior
England. He promised that he
will write us of his experiences
while makine his Atlantic cross
in?, and we'll pass them on in
the columns or tne u-i ro nis
friends here.
And to be eaually thoughtful
we told him that if he fell over-
hoard, we'd drOD him a line. too.
Bob savs the last batch of
DassDort photos he had taken
really flatter him, but we doubt
if thev show any more nair on
his bald Date than the ones we
took. In any event, tnis lively jvir.
Lowe is one of the best sports
in town. We hope he and the
Krebs have a wonderful time on
their trip.
WHAT A WONDERFUL thing
the Portland eighth grade tour
Droved to be Friday and batur
day. The local' sponsors, the host
families, and ranchers had
thines very well coordinated to
provide a highly interesting time
for the city kids.
We followed them with a cam
era on the two days and learned
quite a bit about ranching, too
To us, one of the most im
pressive things about the tour
was the thoughtful manner in
which the visitors regarded the
whole thing. They listened at
tentively at all stops, and many
of them took copious notes. If
ot tnem wok copious notes, , u ;l, ayers Sund ay at breakfast and
they report on everything they Snv's niav
have down, they will be talking
to their fellow Portland students
from now through the summer.
We were tickled by one little
guy, particularly. He was right
in the front lines at every stop,
his face a serious study, as he
wrote down practically every
word he heard, whether it be
about rod weeders, conservation
practices or vaccinating calves.
Apparently, these youngsters
are carefully screened before
thev make this trip, and we un
derstand that each has an al
ternate in case the first choice
can't go.
Evervone of the 35 students
seemed to be high caliber and
intelligent. You never heard a
single crack about "country
cousins, "hill billies, or any
thing like that.
It would be a good thing if
these kids could visit with some
of the Multnomah county pol
iticians, such as Sen. Vernon
Cook, who is famous for declar
ing that Eastern Oregon is made
up of sagebrush and lack rabbits,
These eighth graders could now
put him straight!
WHILE THERE SEEMS to be a
pretty clear cut differentiation
in the minds of many persons
between the "city kids" and the
"country kids," it is interesting
to note that there is complete
integration when they all get
together. You can't tell the Port
landers from the Morrow county
natives! In fact, we took some
pictures of some of the young
sters thinking they were from
the city, only to find that they
had lived here all their lives.
We had to admire the girls
from the city who bravely step
ped up to take part in the brand
ing of calves, which was rather
a stern and odoriferous exper
ience to those who had never
been exposed to it. The acrid
aroma of singeing hair and burnt
flesh wasn't exactly Chanel So.

BY ARRANGEMENT with flyboy
Paul Hansen, who with his
helmet on reminds one of a latter
day Charles Lindbergh, we got
all set to take some action pic
tures of him spraying.
Paul Dointed out a spot in
the field where we were to be
stationed, and we figured ne
would whiz by low and outside,
to thp. Ipp of the sun. But the
rascal came in full throttle ngni
over Mel Johnson, the Portland
chaperone, andthe writer,
As hp anDroached us from the
far end of the field, we figured
he was about as low as he fig
ured on going. At that point, he
nosed his monoplane aown
sharply, almost appearing to
plow the ground. He turned on
the juice "and came roaring at
us like a huge menacing carniv-
erous mosquito. Paul says ne
sprays at about 85 m.p.h., but
he appeared to be approaching
about 585, and a fellow got the
horrible feeling that the pro
peller was going to chop him up
into little bits. Mayoe a ieiiow
with iron nerves would stand
erect as he passed over, but we
did what comes naturally hit
the deck. We stuck in there long
enough to eet the Dictures on
each pass, and in doing so had
the impression that the plane
was coming right through tne
Jens of the camera, but later,
when we saw the negatives, he
was probably 50 yards or more
away when the shutter clicked.
Paul had filled his tanks with
water, hut: there was enough
2-4-D inside to give us a well-
sprayed flavor wnen we goi
doused, camera and all. Now we
know what a noxious weed feels
like when they get blitzed. We
should never be quite as obnox
ious again.
WALT JACOBS told us that
Omar Rietmann of lone says
that winds this year have been
the worst in the county since
1922. And Mr. Rietmann's opin
ion as an old timer is pretty
well respected. The tourists Sat
urday had a beautiful day, ex
cept for the winds, which pene
trated like a knife.
