Politicians and News Medio It Mtmi to be the popular pastime of many of our national politicians recently to blame all their troubles on newspaper and television. This foe as high up as ex president Dwight Daenhower. Responsible Journalists are well aware that there are some In the news business ef the "yellow Journalism variety. Those In the ranks who are worthy of their calling are as quick to deplore this Irresponsibility as the politicians are to castigate them. Sadly, not all newspapermen are true Journalists any more than all politicians are true statesmen. However, when the politicians pounce on the news media tn general as the panacea for all their troubles, they make a sad and transparent mistake. Governor George Wallace used several minutes of television time Sunday night to blast television, and this media can very well be complimented on maintaining the objectivity that allows him to do it At the same time, the politicians might thank their lucky stars that the free press Is big enough and broad enough to allow such tirades however directed against It While the politicians are bombarding the news media they might consider where they would be without this opportunity to communicate and wonder how high they would ascend in the political heavens without their faces and 'utterances being given prominence In the public prints and on the air waves. The same boys who blast newspapers and television would feel undressed If they couldn't grab their newspaper the first thing In the morning, would feel sadly depressed If some of their important speeches were not quoted, and could hardly eat if they couldn't take a newspaper to the table with them. This puts them in a sinJlar position to the atheist who de clared, Thank God, I'm an atheist" THEY SAY Pon Turner has been wearing a tl4dwater button at big a a aau.vr ami at eal one informant claimed he ft It in San rantiH during the convention.

Parks Important to Economy Another illustration of the importance of parks and outdoor recreational areas to this county was given by County Agent Nels Anderson at the meeting of the Heppner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce Monday. Several years ago, 4-H clubs started using Cutsforth park for Its summer camp and developing facilities for that purpose. Other counties became Interested and requested use of the park for their 4-H summer camps. This summer It was used by four counties Morrow, Gilliam, Wheeler and Sherman with a total of 210 youngsters enjoying it Letters of appreciation have been received from the other counties. While the youngsters were here, their parents were observed at various times at service stations, in restaurants and in other business establishments in Heppner. The 4-Hers themselves consumed large quantities of food and required other supplies, most of which came from Heppner. Attraction of th eparents was a bonus for local business. This is just another instance that shows the importance of parks to the economy of the county. There should be no hesitancy by anyone in the business community and by anyone with the county's economic welfare at heart to work for im proving and developing recreation areas here. It has been said many times before, and will be reiterated many times more, that this recreation potential bids to be one of our greatest "industries." At the same meeting, Orville Cutsforth of the county parks committee reported on fine progress being made at Anson Wright Memorial park on Chapin creek. A great deal of work has been done there on tables, fireplaces and rest rooms. Some of the development is by Rhea Creek Grange and other groups and some is by a caretaker who divides time between the new park and Cutsforth park. The speaker said that Wright park will soon offer better facilities for picnickers than those at Battle Mountain. He suggested that residents make it a point to stop on outings and to take their friends and visitors there. While making the county a more enjoyable place to live and more attractive to outsiders, these parks have a definite economic importance of benefit to all here. Commendation is due those who are continuously working for parks development and every encouragement should be given as well as active support for their continued expansion and extension. or SOB.

AT THIS POINT we strongly uree an readers not to co anv farther in this column. Either put the paper aside or turn to some other page. What Is com ing up is the most senseless and nuttiest thing you can possibly read. We pirated it from Jack Powell's "Jack's Jottings," in a recent issue of the Stayton Mail. You can blame it on the heat, but we thought such a totally worthless thing should be re printed. Jack claims he found it tucked away in a desk drawer. This is one final warning- don't read any farther. You're just wasting your time. Here it is: Can you follow directions? 1. Read everything before aoing anytning. 2. Put your name in the upper ngni-nana corner oi tne paper. 3. Circle the word "name" In the second sentence. 4. Draw five small bouares In the upper left-hand corner of this paper. 5. Put an X in each square mentioned in number 4. 6. Put a circle around each square. 7. Sign your name under the title of this paper. 8.
