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."
