It considers the economic growth and population trends, population. mid-Columbia economy, county economy, existing land use and traffic patterns, planning for land use. for traffic circulation, for schools and for parks. This Is fundamental spade work for development No one can accurately predict Just what new developments will come to the county, or from where they will come. But with the Boeing development underway and the new potential that will be offered by the reservoir of the John Day dam. together with the improved highway system, it Is almost certain that great changes will take place in Morrow county. The planning commission realizes that Morrow county can t be caught short It haa to be ready for what may come and prepared to meet the challenges and problems that may be presented. Industrial development and increased population could spread the tax load, provide payrolls and Increase pros perity. But problems would come. too. The county would haye to be prepared to accommodate Its new people with schools, recreation, roads and other facilities. As the future unfolds, the county will be grateful for the volunteer work now being done by the planning commission Rosewall, Marion Green, secretary, Art Allen, Max Helberg. Ernest Jorgensen, Roy Lindstrom and D..O. Nelson and for others who have been looking to the future, not in a visionary and ethereal manner, but with the realization that changes and development are virtually Inevitable. U. S. Beef in Europe (From Industrial News Review) For almost a year, the American Meat Institute and the Department of Agriculture have been working together on a program designed to Increase our exports of beef and other meat and livestock products to Western Europe and the United Kingdom. In this, the AMI has been representing the entire meat and livestock industry. Now the Institute's board of directors has voted to extend the program for a year after the expiration of the current phase on June 30. The reason is that despite the problems Involved, results to date have been encouraging and the future looks bright m . , The figures indicate the progress made. U. S. exports or beef and veal had increased to 57,245,000 pounds in 1964 as compared with only 27,318,000 pounds In 1963. Variety meat exports also showed a very substantial advance. The hope is that these trends can be not only continued but accelerated. In the worct of an Institute spokesman, "trade between the United States and Western Europe can develop only to the extent that it is of benefit to both our country and those of Western Europe. We are extremely hopeful that obstacles such as price differentials, ocean freight rates and national restric tions can be overcome." . Among other favorable factors, growing affluence in West ern Europe Is expected to increase demand for beef, Including the high quality beef produced in the United States. The mar keting program promises major benefits to all concerned. May it have the success it deserves.

SOIL STEWARDSHIP WEEK Emphasizing the theme, "Challenges of Growth," the Oregon Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts will coordinate the national observance of Soil Stewardship Week in our State during the period May 23-30, 1965. I am pleased to Join with OASWCD in urging each citi zen to consider his share in the brotherhood of stewards responsible for the proper hus bandry of lands and waters, forests and ranges, fish and game, scenic, recreational and other resources which God has placed at our disposal. We have been endowed with a great trust It is up to each of us as good stewards to share in the development and pro tection of this priceless heri tage, particularly at a time when we are placing even greater demands upon such resources. May we, during Soil Stew ardship Week, Join with the OASWCD membership and clergy throughout the State in making obvious our gratitude for the richness of this land. May we also renew our pledge to conserve our soil, woods, water, wildlife, minerals, and other resources. MARK O.

Principal Gordon Pratt arranged for Governor Mark Hatfield to speak sometime last year to get the bid in early. As the time drew near the principal has been a little bit on pins and needles for fear that something would come up to preclude the coming of the state's executive. The anxiety was heightened a hit urhpn the legislature was called Into special session, ana Principal Pratt has been In rather frequent contact with me governor's office to confirm and re.confirm the engagement the last telenhone call being on Tuesday of this week.

But we'll bet the school officials there were a bit surprised when he accepted th? invitation. THINGS perked up around the G-T office this week when Roice Fulleton came toting in the fine saddle that we won as a prize from the Spray rodeo. It's a hand-tooled roping saddle with pelican horn, Cheyenne roll, double-rigged, nylon stitch ed and with covered stirrups. Sounds like this old greenhorn really knows his saddles, doesn't it? We'll have to confess that wo picked up this description from Dale Slushier, Pendleton manager for Pacific Northwest Bell. Dale, an ex-cavalry officer, is a genuine expert on saddles. Well, sir, we didn't even know we were in the competition for a prize via the tickets we pur chased from Princess Ruby Ful leton. We thought they were admission tickets to the rodeo. The phone started ringing Sunday afternoon when local folks who attended the rodeo drifted back home. First was Herm Winter who broke the news, and the reaction was that there must be some mistake. Then W. W. (Bill) Weather fcrd called and drawled as only Bill Weatherford can drawl, "Well, I hear you won a saddle at the Spray rodeo. Now, of course, you need a halter. And you need a bridle. Then you should have a couple of blank ets. And you oughta have a big pair of pliers to cut through a few fences." Pause. "Oh, yes, it would help if you had a horse, too." Gene Pierce came in Monday morning with mouth watering. '"You dang lucky drug store cowboy were his Kindly woras of congratulations.

Portland 8th Grade Tour May 19. 15 To The Editor: Reapportionment w-aa one of the main Issues raUed during the 1?V4 congressional campaign In District No. 2. Concerned vniart uhfi were wondering what effect reapportionment would have on eastern urri;, are becoming Increasingly aware that we in the state In general do not want It as It will hurt most everyone but the Dem ocratic machine which would like to perpetuate their represen tative in District No. 2. Representative Ullman'a vote in th Tuck amendment which would have neutralized the Supreme Courts "one man one vote" reapportionment de cislon Is an Indication he favors District No. 2's reapportionment. With a voting block west of the Cascades that will almost equal the combined vote of the pres ent district, the key vote for District No. 2 will be shifted to the Valley. Congress still has power to neutralize the so-called "one man one vote" Supreme Court nlrUn Ku ciinrwirf in the Dirk- sen constitutional amendment which would permit the states to apportion on laciors uuwi- Ihr.n rvnntMatiort alone. Let's urge our two senators and three Democratic representatives to get behind Representative Wen dall Wyatt and support this bill.

Here was a battle in he Great American tra dition between a shouting loud mouth' and a disreputable char acter, representing something fine and noble! It's too bad that all the mon ey wasted on that fight couldn't have been turned over to the fa n nnr 3v-lptv. because this fight business is becoming a big cancer on our sports scene. One good thing was that the "fight" didn't last any longer than a television commercial, some of which are pretty hard to stomach, too.
