An Honor for the County Every rr.an as he through lif" ha a steward .hip in using the Cod-riven rt-sourcet of thU earth. The pood steward f-cU an obligation and a re-sponsibility to make the very b' use of thev natural elements, not only to create a better life for himself and his fellowman but to prepare a brighter day fur posterity, building for generation of tomorrow- Maybe the Morrow- county rancher doe not think of his role in .such slowin? terms a he goe about his everyday duties, but one would have to travel far to find farmers who are more dedicated to conservation than those in this county. The fc urrity of v. :it-r here bring a deeper appreciation for it; the vulnerability of our soil to erosion creates a greater th-sir" to protect it. While our r ir,ehr are the first to declare that there is much rx.-e to te accomplished In the way of conservation, th'-y h.-'ve m.'ide remarkable progress. Their work in making the very best u.-e of the s ii and water resources is an ex arf!? fot other area where abundance seems to lessen re sjeit fur that which Is entrusted to their care. Some cf these thought will come In focus Welne-day, Jure 12, wh'n Mr. end Mr. Louis Carlson will be host for the F;at for..-rv ction Field Day at their ranch in the Valby c,'tnc. From nil over the st.-tte will come those W rson who have ctucht the vision of conservation and will reconizt the work that d-served'y won Carlson the title, "Stale Conserva tion Mar cf the Year." The Carlsons' modesty in receiving this rec ;T,:ti ri i p.-obably in kee; ln with the humilty that one m:'ht expect from 'rue stew.-.rd-' They undoubtedly vvould a.ree that the best honor that 'an be accorded them is to increase appreciation cf the r.e?d for con.'t-rvation. ar.d they consider themselves only as rep-e-.-'n'atives of a vital movemcrt here. The real honor that comes to the county is the opportun ity of pointing the way in foil stewardship. The kr.ovvl.Kl'je that the ranchers of this county are leaders, in conservation should be a source of pride to every citizen here. One cannot help hut think how great it would be if those v. ho refer to Eastern Oregon as the land of "sagebrush and jackrabbits'' could attend this Field Day and become enlight ened ' But even for the home folks there is need for more under standing on the necessity for conservation. For this reason, to honor the Carlsons, and to recognize all who are stewards of the soil in this county, a good turnout of local people at the Field Day Wednesday is important. Chaff and Chatter Wes Sherman iONE WOULDN'T think it would make erv food wnse to Hay ; iiu until nearly lam. to ri a ' local vounz man that a person can s-e often around town, on the basketball court, and tn i otner local esenti. But this wa something spe cial, i Mrs. Doc tEvonnet Severinon icslk-d Mr. Carl Bcttv Soauld- ing all th- way from New York to av that Buss Kilkenny, son of Mrs. Vesta Kilkenny and Bob Kdkennv. would be seen on the NBC Tonight Show that night (Monday). Because of the time dirreren tial. the show had already rx-en telecast back there but wouldn't be wen fur several hours later on the West Coast. Evonne said that Russ. clad in a bright red sweater, loomed up big and triirht when the cameras pan ne'i the audience. Bettv graciously came by nnd told us. and so we stayed up to watch. It was towards the end of the program before Russ was wen, but it was an Inter etir.i show, including Bob Hope, and with Johnny Carson bantering back and forth with Doc from time to time. Sure enough, after a commer cial when the camera swept ov er the audience, there was Lig Russell. Russ went with Judy Severin sen when she lived out here, and they have been correspond ing since. When Judy and Nancy were to graduate from Mail school this year, Russ went back with Mrs. Ora Evans V attend the event. After the show Monday nik'ht. cur tall basketball senior went out to dinner with the Seven n sens and met Alan King, the' s famed comedian, at a restaur jam. He was pretty much lin messed with the t of youn' men we yruw out here In East ern Oregon. Dr. and Mr. Carl Sevcrins-n, par.-nts of Doc, made the tnn from Portland to attend the graduation t the girls, too DR. GERALD JONES showed hi beautiful colored slides of Alaska to Chamber of Commerce Monday and it was a real treat. This man is a fluent and wif.y speaker, making it all the more Interesting. He told of going into a hotel in a inun lncatrri in a rather sparsely settled part of Alaska. A sign In the rustic lobby said, "Please Leave Your Bloody Boots Downstairs." This puzzled the dx-tor. "I didn't know that this area was settled bv people from England." said he. Then he discovered that when they said "bloody," it was not tust an expression of speech. Manv of the lodgers were hunt ers after mixisp, and they often came in with bloody boots cf ter a kill. So the management rostel the sign. 'Leave Your Bloo.'y Boots Downstairs." WE'VE NEVER felt verv badly persecuted as an editor but we have enough in common with idiosyncracies of the busi ness to get a sympathetic (hu -k-le from the comments of Bill Hill of the Everett, Wash., Her ald, ris reprinted in The Oregon Publisher: "If i attend a meeting, I'm beit'ir nu-L'V. If I don't, I n not i-tert '-t-d. If I write an in-di p:h story, it's too long. If I conaense one, It'a Incomplete, If I takt side n an i-ue. I'm preiud ( ed. It I don't, I'm a coward.

If I misspell your name, you never forget it. If I don't, you didn't read the story." Yep, there are times like that. Memorial Day week-end guests at the Archie Padberjr, noma were Mrs. i'ucioergi sister, .Mr. Nora Myers and daughter Elvera Myers of The Dalles, also Mrs, padberg's son, Edwin Tucker, and friend, David B. Doughton of Salem. The two men were on their way to the mountain for a fishing and camping trip. How Morrow County Voted DEMOCRATIC N.E. Hep. Lex. S.E. Hep. N.W. Hep. lone S.W, Hep.
