Swimming Is summer s classic exercise. Tragically, drown
ings run wtII into the thousands each season. Swimming alone,
overestimation of ability and endurance diving Into unktKwjTt
waters are some of the potentially lethal practices responsible.
The boating boom has reached enormous proportions. Im
proper boat handling, over loading, failure to have the proper
safety equipment aboard, a lack of knowledge of the rules of
the road uch needless hostages to fortune as these take
heavy toll of health and life. ... j.
So have fun this summer. But know what you re doing and
do It the right way. That Is the safe way!
To Youth Seeking Summer Work
With the coming of summer there are many teen-agers seek
lng Jobs in order to earn "pin money" or start savings for con
tinuing their education.
This Is a field In which we are caught short In Morrow
county, for while there Is some ranch work and some other
positions available, there just aren't enough to go around.
We understood that Lowell Chally. welfare administrator,
and Dave Potter, county school superintendent have been
doing some work towards determining how many youngsters
want summer employment and then seeking some means to
help find them jobs. At this writing, we do not know how
fruitful their efforts have been. Neither was available for com
ment on this Wednesday. We did understand that a question
naire sent to Riverside High school brought the response that
nine students had summer Jobs and 34 are looking for work.
We sympathize with the youth who really do want to earn
money in the summertime and are willing to work for it They
deserve encouragement and help. ...
At the same time, there Is a field wide open to the Ingeni
ous and imaginative teen-ager. It seems to us, who has the
Initiative to start in business for hlmelf.
An elderly widowed lady came into this office this week and
said that she had moved into an apartment She enjoyed it
more than attempting to keep up the yard at the big family
home, she said.
Previously she had attempted to hire a boy to mow the
grass In her yard and gave him $4 per time, but she couldn't
depend on him, and it became a considerable effort to find
someone willing to do the work.
A lively teen ager with a power mower could do pretty
well in Heppner. we think. If he spread the word of his will
ingness and then backed it up with steady and reliable serv
ice Another Idea that might be practical for the right young
man, or a team, would be to develop a window-washing serv
ice In the downtown district. We can't speak for the rest of the
businessmen, but we would think there would be considerable
opportunity for a young businessman to work up a window
washing circuit covering the town at regular intervals.
The young lad with a business head could even start a
night crawler business and sell them at 25c a dozen. We hap
pen to know of two who caught 160 night crawlers In one eve
ning Just for their own amusement There are plenty of fisher
men who would like to buy them.
Girls have the old standby babysitting as a possibility,
and they can take on other forms of housekeeping work. Either
boys or girls could start a carwashlng business polishing, too.
In the days gone by, every house had a pile of wood by it
that awaited putting away, and the ambitious lad could gen
erally find work by rapping at a door and asking for a Job
of tossing it In a basement and piling it there.
But about the time wood sliped from the scene as the uni
versal fuel, the Ingenuity of young people seeking work seem
ed to wane. too. But there are still good opportunities for
young people with initiative and ambition.
Some rather ridiculous child labor laws don't help. It is
quite impossible to get permits for some youngsters under 16
even for non-hazardous work in some types of etablishments
which have the misfortune to be classified as industries.
But our advice to the young man or woman who can t find
a job and who really wants to earn money this summer is:
Think up a good idea of something that needs to be done,
market your services, and perform in a reliable manner. We
think you'll do pretty well. .

Eleanor Gonty
To the Editor:
I'm writing to you at this time
to make two definite comments.
First a hearty thank you for the
very accurate report on my re
cent visitation to Washington.
D- C, In connection with local
and northwest projects, and sec
ondly, a little more elaboration
on these local projects.
Where we stand on local pro
jects is not so much the point
as "where do we go from here?"
As said, the Willow Creek dam
project looks very favorable.
Wherever mentioned, the going
seemed to be smooth there In
Washington. Also we have back
there two very strong support
ers with us. They are Senator
Morse and Congressman toll
man. They, together with Sen
ator Neuberger. all co-sponsor
with me In this project, are
both loyal and active.
In our meeting with the Under
Secretary to the Chief of the
Corps of Engineers, Col. Alfred
B Fitt. the question was raised:
"Are there any objections or ob
stacles on the home front that
could cause us delay In the nor-1
mal procedure?"
I said that I thought there was
not. He said the benefit to cast
ritlo. not taking into consider
ation the loss of life In the 1903
flood, was quite low. 1 to 12.
The Willow Creek project is a
multipurpose project and the
irrigation feature Is not fully un
derstood. However. benefits
from Irrigation, even In these
smaller projects, nearly always
exceed anticipation.
Some meetings with members
from the Bureau of Reclamation
should follow definite announce
mtnt that the project has been
approved.
Federal Interstate Highway
82 has always been a project of
tremendous interest to me. It
should be to every citizen of
Morrow couny. Originally, this
four-lane interstate highway
was proposed for between Board -man.
Oregon, and Ellensburg,
Washington, connecting Wash
ington U. S. 10 and Oregon's
Columbia River Highway, U. S.
30, Interstate 80.
The Washington State Hign
way Commission January 22,
1958, voted its approval of in
clusion of the 132-mile-long
route In the Federal Aid Inter
state Highway System by way
of Blalock Island and Boardman-
Upon pressure being brought
to bear by groups from Umatilla
county that the highway should
be constructed via Plymouth and
the Umatilla bridge, the Oregon
Highway Commission did not
concur with the Washington
group, causing them to revers?
their decision, thus nullifying
the intent of making the route
the least costly and most direct.
The route via Umatilla bridge
would tentatively possibly have
been the least costly but with
U. S. 30 being made a four-lane
highway, and the Umatilla
bridge not adequate for long, as
well as the additional 22-mlle
longer route, it would soon prove
to be the most costly.
Mileage is an important item
in those Interstate highways.
While the additional 22 miles to
reach the Umatilla bridge and
U. S. 30 was feasible in the Fed
eral Interstate Highway System,
an additional 26 miles to bring
the highway by way of the Tri
Cities and Walla Walla county
is not Senator Magnuson from
Washington State has now intro
duced legislation to add 19,000
miles to the Federal Interstate
Highway System. The primary
purpose, of course, is to permit
the routing of Interstate High
way 82 by way of the Tri-Cities.
No doubt the legislation wiU
pass.
Since the routing by way of
Umatilla was somewhat of a
political issue and not based on
what was the least costly and
most feasible route as originally
intended, the route by way of
the Tri-Cities, Walla Walla
county, and Van Sycle canyon,
as proposed by Magnuson, can
not harm us here in Morrow
county more than the route now
proposed by Umatilla. After all,
there is a tremendous develop
ment potential in our North Mor
row county which cannot be ig
nored but is certainly overlooked
in either of the two much talkerl
about routes.
We hope the route can still
be brought by way of Blalock
Island and Boardman, and thus
Ir the most feasible way, serve
both Umatilla and Morrow
counties.
Yes, I had an opportunity to
speak for our interests in this
route while in Washington and
I did so. I still hope we can get
down to earth and make our
selves here in Morrow county
heard In this matter.
Sincerely,
Oscar E. Peterson

WA HO 81
By Jake Herman
They tell me there are 30 mil
lion poor people In the United
States. Some people think and
av they are lary. but I do not
think so. They are disinherited
by circumstances. Many of us
can remember way. ay back,
when we were told here In the
United States that by the sweat
of his brow, a good man who had
a lot of get-up. with character
and determination, could earn
himself a Dlace In life. No doubt
you have heard this appealing
equation as a young tot. Th
intent or this had an eternal
truth.
More so when It came from
our forefathers who worked
their way up from a poor boy
to boss of a firm, or through
education In some profession
and they became a living prol
of such.
But modern times took a big
change since those days- Be
cause many changes have taken
place In this world, opportun
ities changed, our own Ideas and
thinking changed also, and our
beliefs also changed.
I do not want to disavow the
connection between the old and
new. I am merely wanting to
make a point concerning the 30
million poor people who live In
poverty. Now these people, let's
say. were born to suffering be
cause their parents were poor,
or cast down Into it by the ele
ments of their means of liveli
hood. "
Modern times have made
some dreams fade. For a lot of
eople the bottom rung has been
erked from the ladder of suc
cess. There is no way for them
to get a foothold without help.
It Is time we do something
and revamp the American
dream, to include these people,
so it is time we take a willing
look at those people and perhaps
rid ourselves of these prejudices
which say the poor are worth
less and lazy and that being
poor is part of the human race.
Being poor gives a person less
chance to get education and pro
motes more sickness, darn fewer
social graces and above all
creates greater odds against suc
cessful family life. It all pro
duces a terrible sense of hope
lessness. Let's remember, underneath
these sores of body and spirit
are, for the most part, people
who want to work and to live
decently. What they need more
than anything is respect, con
cern, and opportunity. Now these
arc the objects of the war on
poverty.
This is what we are up
against. Here, every day, many
of our boys come around to the
agency and ask, "When are we
going to get work?" With our
projects at a stand still right
now, it is getting pretty rugged.
What I write is not my own
thinking, it is an idea that I
learned from others (and it is
true) and it applies to our reser
vation where Jobs are dang
scarce.
I am writing this from our tri
bal cafe. A man walked in and
asked me what I was writing
about. I told him, "I am writing

ORA Y EAGER of Castle Rock.
Wn., came home to Heppner
f.r the Pioneer Picnic, first
time he has been back for 11
years, and we enjoyed a two
hour visit with htm Monday
evening, listening to tales of
early Heppner and his Interest
ing versions of the big flood of
1903.
Mr. Ycager Just turned 80 on
May 21- He has written a good
many articles for the paper
since we have been editing it.
but we had never met him un
til Monday. Although he has
been in rather poor health re
ctntly, he looked considerably
yr.unger than we had envisioned
hlni.
We're tempted to write aome
of the things he told us, but wo
suspect he has In mind writing
them himself and so will fore
(rit this.
Ora had counted on spending
Monday visiting up and down
tho himineKS district to Chat
with old-timers. He had not re-
allzed that the stores wouia oc
closed for the legal holiday. He
got up at 7:30 to get an early
start and found nothing but
locked doors.
"If I had realized everything
would be closed, I would have
wailed a couple of weeks to
come," he said. He did get In
plenty of visiting at the picnic
Sunday, however, and a little
more before departing Tuesday.
Mr. Ycager has a big fat and
colorful manuscript on Morrow
county and Heppner history
that he has written over the
years. A New York publishing
firm one of the big ones just
about published it but when
their some 40 professional read-
about the poor," and he said,
"Bo careful, you might become
a millionaire some day."
I told him, "No danger."
