Since our forest lands to the south are not visible, the mills seem to be cutting logs without any apparent supply available. The truth is, though, that our forest industries here are a real bright spot in our economic picture. Their payrolls are vitally important to southern Morrow county, as they are to the counties to the south of us. The fact that we have a reasonably good timber supply In the section of the Umatilla National Forest that lies to the south Is a blessing. Not only does it feed this going indus try, but it also provides for recreation, rangcland. wildlife habitat, water supply and other benefits. Oregon is first in the nation as timber producer, and it has been since 1938. It supplies about one-fourth of the na tion's total softwood production, and by the year 2000, when it is expected that the nation's population shall have doubled, the needs for forest products will be about triple those of the present Importance of the industry to this state Is pointed out in the Oregon Blue Book, and it is well worth any resident's time to read about It We would refer them to page 105 of the 1965-66 edition of the Blue Book. Both Klnzua and Heppner Lumber Co. mills have a fine record of continuous operation, going steadily through bad times and good. Both suffered heavily, for instance. In the winter's floods, a deadly blow to Heppner Lumber's mill at Spray, but they hardly hesitated In their operations here. In the case of Heppner Lumber Co., Owner Barney Malcom contradicts the trend that seems to predestine to failure the small sawmill operation. At one time hundreds of little mills were scattered throughout Oregon but they are a rarity now. Malcom bucks this trend, and Heppnerites have watched his continuous expansion despite the fact that small mills are supposed to be doomed. With ingenuity and resourcefulness of the old American tradition to seek and develop opportun ities, Malcom has located markets for his principal product, 2x4's for studs, and uses logs to good advantage that larger operators shun. Result is a notable contribution to the econ omy of the community. Akin to the industry here is the operation and maintenance of the Heppner Ranger district of the Umatilla Forest With personnel of the district based here, another sizable payroll is offered, and the bulk of it feeds into the local economy. Another particularly nice thing about the local segments of the industry is the spirit they show towards the commun ity. They are generous in sharing in supporting public causes and in backing community events. You find them contribut ing rodeo trophies, helping get the community Christmas tree, backing 4-H clubs and sharing with other projects that make them an inseparable part of things. Yes, there are many reasons that the people of Morrow county have to feel grateful for the forest industries that we are so fortunate to have. Since this is National Forest Products week, it is a good time to pause for a wholehearted salute to those engaged In these industries. Merchants Applaud Change Merchants have always been considered fair game for all manner of solicitations. They are conveniently located so that contacts can be made speedily, and always hanging over their heads is the thought that they might lose a customer If they turn down some appeal for funds or gifts. They have been very generous, when you think of it, in their support of all manner of enterprises that might benefit religious, charitable, educational and community organiza tions. In view of this tendency to "hit the merchant,".it is quite remarkable that the Morrow county school district recently established a policy to discontinue solicitations by school pa pers and annuals for "advertising" from the merchants. When letters were sent to them from the district, telling of this step, there must have been many sighs of relief. Certainly all bus iness people applaud the move. Not only have local merchants been called upon to sup port annuals and school papers of the schools in the county, but others to the south come here, too, seeking this financial aid. The advertising value, of course, is negligible. The main justification for buying the space Is "to help the kids." But this should not be the merchants' particular and sole respon sibility. It is a thing in which all school patrons should share, recognizing the need and value for their school papers and annuals. It takes only a small sum to provide the district subsidy needed for the supplementing support to student body funds for the publications, but when the students come to the mer chants the usual contribution is anywhere from $5 up. If one totaled what he spends on such contributions through the year, it may come to quite a substantial sum. There are quite a few projects that come to merchants, whether school, church, charities, or community events, that they want to help and enjoy supporting since they want to do their share in promoting worthwhile things. But It often seems that they are called upon to assume more than their fair share. Congratulations are in order to the Morrow County school directors for their action. It is to be hoped that other school districts will take note and follow suit to forward, too. This was onlv the second time that he had ridden on an air plane, and he felt rather fidgety about it The first time he was on a plane, he said, he was real "sweaty" about It. but this time he felt a little more comfort- able. In New York, he felt like a little country boy" lost In the city, and said, in Jest, that the thought crossed his mind that maybe his parishioners hoped he'd get lost there and not find his way home. He took some colored Polaroid pictures at the mass he attend ed, and had Just one left when Pope Paul came down the aisle and paused to speak to some Protestant clergymen Just about six feet from Father Beard. He used this opportunity to take what should have been a won derful one. only to find that he had neglected to take out the last print thereby getting a double exposure. Nevertheless, in Life's cover picture of the mass. Father Beard can point out himself sit ting the nine rows from the al tar amidst the Protestant clergy Uke. And It U raiv to tell by the picture, too. that the lrut rMar.ti. did have better seats than Ihe Kman Catholic iwlesls. The Protectants were situated )ut behind the United Nations delegation. FRIDAY NIGHTS Hcppner-Mad-ras football game was lut like having a lightning storm Interrupt a picnic. The Mus tangs had everything under control the first half held a 13 0 lead, and local fans were feel ing happy, Indeed, when the thunderbolt hit the second half, and the home boys loot. 10-13. This wasn't any discredit to the Mustangs. They nearly mred twice more but couldn't quite make It. The White Buf faloes really found themselves after Intermission. The one long run that started with a little safety valve pas play in the third quarter saw the Madras team doing some of the neatest blocking you'll see In high school football. We had the impression that at one lime there w-a.snt a Mustang standing on the field. Ken Morgan and Tim Drlscoll came from out of nowhere to catch the runner and Drlscoll downed him on the Heppner 11 after he had come from the Mad ras 13. Mustangs were laid out on the ground in rows by the Madras blockers. Despite the loss, it was a real exciting game.

To the Editor: The Game Commission sells j the license for the hunter to kill a buck. But most of the land is post ed, and they dont have any luck. So they get mad at the land owner and cause a lot of fuss. The landowner finds a shot cow, then he begins to cuss. Some hunters are very des tructive; they tear down fences and signs. Which leaves a very bad name for those who have a respectful mind. The rancher is very selfish; he thinks his ranch is fine. But he cries and moans and cusses when the deer and elk graze on him all the time. The BLM lands cost very lit tle; the federal land the same. The rancher seems to think the government should feed some of their cows and every bit of the game. The rancher seems to think he owns most all of the iand, And moans about his taxes being high, but yet he wants to expand. The hunter sits at a desk most all year and cusses taxes, too. But when he tries to get on government land, the rancher gives him the shoe. Most city folks are respectful and do seem to care. But there are some folks that are destructive and get into your hair. The percent that is destruct ive isn't very great, But this little percentage causes a whole lot of hate. Now if the hunter and the rancher would try to under stand, And each would give Just a little bit, then everything would be grand. (Given to me by a friend in Grant County) Oris Padberg, Lexington.
