School Question: What Now?
Now that the Morrow cocr.ty school budget ha been re
fe.vcd bv a rather suh tar.t.al margin, it would seem logi l
tr.,.t from the C!0 negative voters there should come ome e n

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.

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

Publisher:

Yep, there are times like that.
