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.

SEEMS AS if there has to be
one in every legislative sess
ion. Some misguided legislator
has come up with some rather
idiotic bill. 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. Employer
who violate this would be sub-
Wt to a fine of S25 or five days
In Jail or both.
i u'nn't h Ion? until emDlov-
ers will have to request court
eously, or suggest lacuuuy. o
their employees that they might
come down for a half hour or
so and help get the work done.
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

With the ski area getting this
much attention and with the po
tential of bringing newcomers

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.

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

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.
