Linotype Operator DALE COOPER Pressman Stay in School There are more than two million 16-21 year olds in our labor force today who Jeopardized their futures with one rash decision they chose to drop out of school without a diploma. If the current dropout rate continues, there will be 32 mil lion adults in the labor force without a high school educa tion by 1975. The harsh fact is that there Is little room left in a boom ing America for the school dropout. He faces a lifetime of dull, low-paying jobs or no jobs at all. Dropouts have an unemployment rate of 13 percent more than three times the raie for the whole labor force. In terms of dollars and cents the picture Isn't any brighter. The high school dropout takes a long chance, for the dropout has a high unemployment rate, makes less money, changes jobs frequently, is usually the last hired, the first layed off and Is limited in choice of jobs. During a woiking life, a high school graduate averages about $57,000 more than a dropout and about $94,000 more than a worker with only a grade school education. A college graduate In turn averages $201,000 more than a high school graduate. If this country is to continue its rapid technological growth and maintain Its position as world leader, we desperately need qualified and that means educated people who can take on the new skilled jobs being created every day. To help assure that we have those skilled workers, the President's Council on Youth Opportunity and the Governor's Youth Commisson, with the cooperation of the Employment Division has launched the Stay-in-School Campaign to con vince all young people of the importance of a good education In their own lives and for the future of their country. Each of us has a responsibility to join in this campaign. If you are in school, stay there and get at least a high school diploma. If you are no longer a student, help those who are by urging them and helping them in any way you can to go back to school this fall. It's the best investment in the future that any of us can make. Oregon State Employment Division The Crisis Is Today I The crisis In our urban centers emphasizes, day in and day out, the desperate need of developing our smaller popu lation areas into economic safety valves for the nation and its economy. Economists and social scientists warn us that we cannot concentrate our total effort in the big cities and survive. We must decentralize and, in the process, begin the job of halt ing the erosion of the rural countryside. Farmer's organizations have been saying this for many years. The fight to save the family farm and the effort to preserve Rural America these, really, are not just attempts to benefit the farmer. They are efforts designed to save the whole of America. We cannot destroy our forests, pollute our lakes and streams, hard-top our rich agricultural lands, and rope off our beaches and other recreational areas for the benefit of the few without endangering our own futures and the future of mankind. The natural environment of man is the most priceless heritage he has. We must, before it is too late, take steps to preserve that environment or prepare ourselves for ulti mate disaster. A warning on the shape of things to come was Issued re cently by the Congressional Conference of the Military Budget and National Priorities. A statement Issued by participants declares, in part: "In the next five years 20 million Americans will leave the rural poverty in which they can no longer eke out a live lihood and migrate to cities which cannot house, feed, edu cate, or employ them. Massive disorder will be the inevitable result." We still have time to prevent the realization of this dreary prophecy. But time Is running out! The tragedy of Indiffer ence is that Tomorrow may never come! Oregon-Washington Farm Journal The Disease of Indifference (By Richard C. Halvorson, from Perspective, devotional letter for businessmen) It Is not our differences that are the problem . . . It is our Indifference! Diversity is of the essence of life . . . Apathy Is deadness. Without diversity there would be no design . . . The tapestry would have no beauty apart from the var ious colored threads woven into their exquisite patterns . . . The painting would portray nothing without differences in shade and hue . . . The novel would be unreal without conflicting characters. Life is diverse whether it is the flowers or the trees or the animals or the fowls or the fish or the birds or the Insects. This is one of the strengths of man his diversity his ability to fulfill a role someone else is unable to fulfill to be a team. Thank God for differences! But indifference? Who can abide it? It Is the enemy of man the enemy of society. It is abdication from life! Twentieth century America suffers Incalculably from this disease. Think if every person accepted his role, however high or low his station, and lived it. Think if every affluent family did something for one needy family! Think if every white person took responsibility to relate to one black person. Think if every man thought of himself as a committee of one to bring reconciliation and resolution to the social ills that are so deeply dividing our nation at this time. You can't do everything for everybody you can do some thing for someone.

Maps Give Name Pine City Bus Run Has Schedule Change School buses in the Heppner area, which will begin running on Friday, August 29, will oper ate approximately at the same times as last year's schedule in picking up and delivering stu dents. One exception will occur in the Pine City run, where time chang es will occur because of alter ations in the route. Parents desiring information concerning this run are asked To the Editor: Too manv inauiries demand an answer so I want to clear up the use of "Shobe" for the canyon entering Heppner from the southwest. As a newcomer several years ago I was first told it was "string creek" and used this name in reporting the first time it flooded, mildly, about eight years ago. I was criticized for that, and told it was "Shobe" on the maps, so checked it out. It is, both on the city map at the city hall, and on all maps employees at the courthouse arid I could find there. The large one in the assessor's office shows the name "Shobe" on the can yon south of Fulleton corner, and again as the creek enters town. These maps are official State Highway maps, and are the ac cepted method of confirming names for public use. It is not mv intention, nor ot any other members of the press, am sure, to in any way De- little the early pioneers of the area. I, however, must use the names as thev are listed on maps when writing about areas any place. I hope this clears up "wnere the name came from."
