Orefon, ai Second Oiu Matter. Conservation Demands Active Interest It l quite obvioua that the destruction from December flood ins has cmphaslred the great need for soil and water n' vatlon. If there were those who regarded the need only casually before, they should now. with the evidence of the disaster ap parent on all hands, realize that this Is something that demands the active Interest and attention of all Ken Turner. Conservation Man of the Year and vice chairman of the Heppner Conservation district, points out that enough soil was lost In the recent flood to make up a farm of 1500 acres, worth some $150,000 to $200,000. Future yield potential of the county was decreased three percent on the average, an annual Income loss of $75,000. ... . ... This hurts not only the farmer, but the businessman and the working man. since economic loss In the county Is detrimental to every citizen. Think what additional disaster might have come If nothing had been done to prevent erosion. Strip cropping, erosion dams, ditching and other practices prevented loss many times as great, and this is a tribute to those who have been working constantly to save our soil and water resources. With these things in mind, the annual meeting of the con servation district Wednesday night at the Lexington Grange hall should attract more interest than ever before. Businessmen should make a special effort to attend. rages four and five of this paper tell of the work, accomplish ments and objectives of the district. This is commended as prime reading for those truly interested in Morrow county and its future. Any W'hp have not been concerned should become concerned, and each should do what he can, in his respective field, to pro mote conservation. Bobert Van Hout was in Bep- pner Friday visiting friends and taking care of business. He is leaving this week for Juneau. Alaska, where he will work as executive secretary of the Alaska Education Assoc.. starting Feb ruary 1. His daughter, Mrs. Neal Penland, was coming to Portland Sunday for a family reunion from their home in Klamath Falls, where her husband is a technician for one of the large radio stations.

A few years aco, ttit vnilor Introduced a bill to prohibit eatlne popcorn in movie t neuters, mis com tax payers a lot of money, even itiniixh it u-a defeated, because of hearings, debate and so on. Some 25 years aw. II we re call correctly, another Introduc ed a bill to prohibit taking a flashlight into the woods this to prevent spotlighting or aeer. This sessions nomination lor the "goofy bill" department may be House Bill 1130. wnicn pro vldes that employers must pro tM rh rmnlovw the neces sary time off to vote, four con- secutive hours in wnicn to vote while the polls are open. The mninvM w-nuld recrive the wages he otherwise would have received, but ne must luomit a il.tanwnl (rnivl hv n flpOtiOn official thai he voted.

What with the 35 hour week isimiriT in vorae. at least seven paid holidays per year, vacations running to a month or more for longer employees, sick leave, unions demanding day's off for the workers on their birthdays, coffee breaks and so on. it won't leave much time to get the Job done. The businessman pays all of the help's unemployment In surance, half of their social se curity and will soon be paying for half their medicare, it ap pears. Polls are now open to 8 p.m. to provide workers a chance to vote. Any who work nights should be able to get there sometime between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. We don't know of any small employers who don't allow time for their help to vote, and most encourage the voting. It is rather hard to interpret from the title of the proposed bill whether the employee has four hours in which to vote, for which he must be paid, or whether he must vote sometime within the four hour period, getting paid only for the few minutes gone. If he gets four hours in which to vote, a worker at a local plant who casts ballots at the court t. the minute. It even has some tlood picture from IVeember.

With the ski area getting this much attention and with the po tential of bringing newcomers and visitors here, some Perma nent arrangement should oe made to see that the Shaw Creek grade Is kept plowed and opon In winter time. It would seem fitting that the county court agree to this If all those Inter ested In Arbuckle support the mad serial levy coming up In February. . . , WE'VE BEEN talking a lot about skiing (for a guy who can't even stand ud on a pair of slats!) but want to say one thlnjr more: Even If you don't ski, you can see some beautiful scenery on these winter days In the Cutsforth-Arbuckle area. We were among those who enjoyed a fine evening and supper Sun day as guests of the Ken Pecks In their mountain cabin. What a beautiful spot with a foot or so of snow on the ground! A photographer could have some field days up there, with the creek cutting through snow cov ered woodlands. It's a chance to get pictures for 19G5 photo Christmas cards. ANOTirER real interesting letter on Butter Creek comes from John R. Leach of Portland. He also quoted Lewis McArthur's "Oregon Geographic Names" in explaining to Mrs. Annie Payne, now of Ithaca, N. Y., the origin of the name, following her re quest to the editor for informa tion. We don't have room to run Mrs. Leach's letter this week, but will next week, for she contains in it some material that old timers will enjoy.

WE HAVE TAKEN a calculated risk in using Ken Turner's pic ture on the Conservation page this week. He has forbidden it. thinking that since he has been working on assembling the ma terial for the page, people will think he is blowing his own horn. Not so. Ken was duly cho sen Conservation Man of the Year, and a good choice it was. As such, we feel it incumbent to use publicity about him to promote the purposes of conser vation, a prime reason, to be sure, for starting the Conserva tion Man awards in the first place. So, after consulting his colleagues, we use his picture. JUST OUT is the Oregon Blue Book for 1965-66.
