Published Every Thursday and Entered at the l'ost Office at Heppner, Oregon, as Second Class Matter. Public Attitude on Juvenile Offenses - In recent year considerable attention has been given to the question of publicity on Juvenile offense. Most newspaper have followed policies of not using names of Juveniles In eases of minor offenses, an exception being that of traffic violations. Some adults erroneously believe that It Is illegal for news papers to use names of Juveniles, but this Is not the case, at least In this state. It Is entirely discretionary with the news paper and with other news media. With the rise of Juvenile crime In the nation, however, the attitude of news media and the public seems to be changing. Some papers have publicly announced their Intention of us ing names of Juvenile offenders In all cases. Some are cover ing all Juvenile court cases and either use names or give dispos ition of cases without names. This paper has had the policy of not using names of Juve niles in minor offenses and has not been covering cases In Juvenile court. Some revealing and Interesting facts were brought out at the recent Oregon Newspaper Publishers convention by Hu Blonk of the Wcnatchee Daily World, Wenatchee. Wn, in an address to the newspapermen. He has done some thorough re search on the matter and presented the conclusion that more publicity should be given to Juvenile offenses. Blonk pointed out that in many communities the public Is not aware that there is any Juvenile problem because the youngsters are protected by the policy of not covering these cases. He sent out a questionnaire, asking eight questions, and received 1061 replies. These he broke down Into four categor ies: General public (278 replies received); law enforcement officers (70 replies); newspaper editors, 113 replies; and Juve niles (601 replies)). All groups, except the Juveniles, replied in great majority that Juveniles' names should be used in publicity on grave offenses, such as car theft and vandalism, on the first offense. Newspaper editors voted 79.4 yes to 20.6 no, while the gen eral public and officers each answered yes In 75 majority. Juveniles voted 475 yes to 525 no, indicating that nearly half of them felt the names should be used on first grave offenses. An overwhelming number In all categories said names should be used on second grave offenses, and oddly enough, the juveniles who were polled led the yes vote with 9&3. Newspaper editors were lowest at 912. None of the groups favored publication of names on first minor offenses In the majority, but 44.4 of the officers felt they should be published, and 38.6 of the general public voted yes. Editors were lowest in the affirmative at 18, while 24.1 of the juveniles felt the names should be used. Publication of names on second minor offenses brought yes votes in the majority in all categories, from 69.9 yes from the editors to 93.9 from the general public, while the Juveniles voted yes, 71.9, to 28.1 no. - A large predominance in all groups felt names should be published in traffic offenses with Juveniles voting 65 yes and ranging up to 875 yes on the part of officers. All groups but Juveniles felt that publicity helps reduce Juvenile delinquency. Of the juveniles polled, 49.5 felt it helped reduce delinquency while 50.5 felt that it did not Punishment given Juvenile offenders is felt inadequate by 79.1 of the public, by 68.3 of the officers, by 70.1 of the editors, by 74.1 of all adults and by 49.3 of the Juveniles. Only 4.7 of the Juveniles felt that punishment given Is too severe, while 46 of them thought it was "about right" Only 24.4 of all adults felt punishment is "about right" and only 1.5 of them felt that it is too severe. Judge Paul Jones, who as county judge is Juvenile judge in this county, said Wednesday that he feels many in the county are not aware of the extent of the Juvenile work han dled by his court and juvenile counsellors and that the public -is not fully aware of the cost He said that more trouble is experienced with parents of youngsters in trouble than with the juveniles themselves. The Judge added that some juvenile judges are advocating pub lication of names of all young offenders. Every indication is that Morrow county is in fairly happy circumstances with its juveniles, the "problem" being rather light in comparison to other areas. But this should not put our people in a position of smug complacency, since we, like every county in the United States, do have a problem with juvenile offenses. This paper will use names of juveniles in grave offenses where considerable property damage or personal safety is in volved. It will continue to use reports of juveniles in traffic cases, and we feel some delinquency in covering Juvenile cases. Probably some of those which have not been covered should have been reported without use of names in order that our residents be aware of what is going on in accordance with the "public's right to know." Over The Tee Cup By DEE CRIBBLE You golfers that didn't keep and read your golfing letter missed out on our first potluck dinner after the two-ball iore- some that turned out to be a one-ball threesome, called "aca pulco." This uses three players, 2 men and 1 woman, the men alternating strokes to the green and putting the pressure on the 'putter," mainly gals. Needless to say, the prize is for least putts, and Vi Lanham needed only 15. She says, "young Pat Kilkenny can surely chip 'em in close." This was a real fun game, went quickly, then we all ate. Supper was followed by a game cf golf, as it had cooled !own by then. Morrow county has the best cooks, and this was proven by co-chairmen, Janet and Don Turner, and Shirley r.nd Jack Loyd. Our next potluck is scheduled for July 18, so try and be out, ana get me most out of our ac tivities. They are sometimes nara to figure out, interest-wise. On Tuesday seven gals turned out for a hot round. This golfer had to take cheerleaders for Heppner High to the clinic held at Lewis and Clark, but 1 was Just at hot, as construction on the freeway at The Dalles held us up one hour. No prizes were awarded as all seven felt they should win, just ior Deing mere. Echo golf course is something to talk about it's loner, hillv and difficult, but the hospital ity is really warm. Thirty-six gals played, as invitations had been issued to Arlington, Herm iston, McNary and Heppner. Our winners were Hazel Mahoney, low gross, and Lois Hunt, low net and also long drive. l ee-oii time now for ladies is 8 oclock a.m. Winner of electa will be announced next week and handicaps will be posted.

Oregon Sets Mark In Timber Harvest As the nation's leading wood producer for over 25 years, the State of Oregon topped Its log production of the past five years with a harvest In l'MH of nearly 8.78 billion board feet of timber, according to figures lust releas ed by State Forester Dwtght L. rhlpps, Oregon State forestry Department. Salem. This was one of six highest log producing years In its hutory. having oeen greater only one time since 1957, by about 157 million In 1939. Of the 8.779.226,000 board feet harvested by the forest Industry in Oregon this past year, some 4.013.032.000 board feet or about 46 percent was logged from their own land: 2.T3J.t.ouo ooara feet or about 32 percent from National Forests: 1.637.656.000 board feet or about 19 percent from Bureau of Land Manage ment forests: 244.475.000 from State and Municipal managed forest lands and 90.517.000 board feet from Indian lands. Volume harvested from pri vate lands Increased some 9K2. 920.000 board feet over last year, while a decrease of 132.301,000 was reported from government managed forest lands. This was a complete turnabout from last year when effects of the 1962 Columbus Day storm were still a dominant factor In log produc tion by ownership.

The boys and daughter went fishing and swimming, but we Just couldn't find the time. We were as busy as we could oe sitting In the shade on one of those folding chairs, looking out over the lake. Elmer Schmidt and his relatives from as far away as Spokane were camped across the away.

We note that the multi tude of anglers who r alter around the lake's edge can lt and drowse for an hour at a time without being disturbed by tug on the line. But generally when the tug comes.

In Christ the simplest or vilest sinner may find salvation from tho death decree. Ho has only to to believe, in faith to lay hold of tho gift. But In order to believe, tho sinner must first know the Saviour. To know Him Is to lovo Him. To love Him Is to follow Him, to observe His precepts. Jesus tald, "If yo lovo me, keep my commandments." John 14:15. Tho keeping of God's commandments when wo lovo Him becomes a pleasure, a natural act rather than q process of attempting to earn salvation by works. It be comes something wo want to do In order to demonstrate our lovo, In order to avoid wounding Him further. "Ho that soith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, Is a liar, 'and tho truth Is not In him." 1 John 2:4. This Is where faith becomes Inextricably linked with works, for hero works become tho outgrowth, tho fruit of loving, of knowing Jesus. Even as wo demonstrate our lovo through deeds to our fellowmen, so through deede wo demonstrate our lovo to God.
