Dangerous Ignorance A survey taken a while back of the editors of 21 major niagazii.es with a combined circulation of over 50 million revealed an amazing lack of understanding of the timber re clust.x in ibis country, timber management and the forest icsounes of the nation. By the same token, it appears the public is equally or more confused on the same subjects. Many Hunk the U. S. is exhausting its forests when the fact is that 75 percent of the continent's original forest land is still growing trees. A good share of the editors Involved and the public, especially in other parts of the country, be lieve that trees can be "saved," in perpetuity by simple tightening controls over harvesting. Also, there are a lot of people who apparently feel we could do without wood en tirely. Obviously, there Is a great dearth of information on facts concerning the forest products industry. Trees are this country's Ingest renewable natural resources they're not like coal for example, that when It's mined It's gone for ever. For many years thanks to the advancing science of forestry practiced by timber companies timber growth, har vesting and utilization has steadily improved. Trees, like other crops, grow to maturity and die. In the course of their growth, they contribute in many ways to the preservation of wildlife and to the health and recreation al needs of many. That is why timber companies have evolved the multiple-use conservation philosophy in the man agement of forest lands. This philosophy is consistent with the necessity of harvesting as well as utilizing America's trees. The greatest threat to the perpetuation of forests and the industry that thev support is sheer public lgnorancce. (NEW ERA). Historical Note It has bd ii lie than 50 years since World War I and Hie iii...i.stious inilation that swept Germany after that con llkt. ii.AM'ver, a brief historical note in The Winthrop, Minn esota, News Is a reminder of what inflation did on that occas ion. In the words of The News, "We have read of postwar years that is WWI in Germany. We were reminded of this when a few pieces of currency from that time came into our possession. One was a million mark note. If it were valid now, with the current value of the mark now between 25 and 30 cents, this note would represent $250,000 to $300,000. It is worthless, except as a curio." The Winthrop News item was written before the dollar was devalued in late December, , 1971. Everyone agrees that inflation is bad, but few realize just how bad it can be. It can overwhelm the smartest of men nnd the best laid plans of government. Its only real preventive or cure is n balance between spending and tax ation. LAKEVIEW, ORE, EXAMINER: "Instead of taking the guns away from law-abiding citizens, we have a better sug gestion to Insure safety in the streets. Let Congress pass a law making it mandatory for every citizen to own and carry arms, wherever he goes. The armed criminal is bravest when be knows his victims are not armed; he is very cautious when he knows his victims are not armed; he is very cautious lv shoot first." THREE FORKS, MONT., HERALD: "Advertising reduces selling time in any type of store. The potential buyer of an advertised product is always sold when he enters a store; he knows what he wants and where he can get it. In fact when man-hours saved are converted to dollars, newspaper advertising is practically free as compared to the cost of personal selling. No wonder the consumer expects to find the best prices in stores that advertise. The stores which cut oasts through advertsiing are able to pass the savings from modern selling methods on to their customers." There had been a long dry spell and the two cowboys were discussing the lack of grass. "JIow bad are things over at your ranch?" asked one. "Really tough," said the oth er. 'Uver mere our came are so thin that we can brand two at a time by using carbon pa per." Pioneer Ponderings Because her son-in-law Vern Creenhalgh, gained such pleas ure from his hobby of orchid culture, Mrs. Earl Soward has learned to raise orchids, too, and has also found much pleasure and excitement. Mr. Greenhalgh, a minister of the Christian Church at Rock wood, Tenn., gave Mrs. Soward n few pseudobulbs, or stem-like pieces from his plants when they visited In Tennessee about three or four years aco. Now Alice Soward has 35 to 40 orchid plants that bloom and a few that are not mature enough to bloom. About Orchid Culture Alice says that growing orchids is rather like growing African inlets, except that orchids need more air movement. The con trol of the humidity and air movement is a year-round prob lem. Humidity should be kept at By W. S. CAVERHILL '72 Recreation? Recreation in Eastern Oregon is big business and growing. Private investment and govern ment agencies have developed this part of the state to an extent that no matter wnat vour favorite recreation is we have it. It is no longer neces sary to leave tne sraie to en joy your favorite. Perhaps the step to be taken in 1972, is more publicity, through the regular channels, and especially by word of mouth. There is no better way of commmunieation. Brag about our facilities, ana use them. Heppner Day Extension unit met Monday at the home of Mrs. Ed Cutting. Mrs. Ola Ruggles showed pictures on the topic, "What the country will be like in 1980." The pictures depicted the present pollution of land, air. water and noise. Solid 40 to 50 and the temperature in the growing area should not ex ceed 80 degrees. Alice had several nice blooms last fall and now has a large white Cattleva in full bloom She has several about to bloom, including a Christmas gift plant, also a Cattleva, which is open ing to show three reddish-purple flowers. She has 4 or 5 Phalaen opsls which are smaller than the Cattleya and are more like Cym bidiums. Some of these plants are now six years old and have not bloomed. The plants are growing on the Soward's closed porch which is kept warm by an electric heater or during a power outage by a small kerosene stove.

However, the Rodeo is a reg ional show that brings enter tainers or, pardon me, partici pants from all of Morrow Coun ty and the Northwest and even further fields, who are very good in their events some of them tops. Now, depending on the com mittees' goals and directions in which they travel to reach these goals, various arrangements and personalities will be involved. Lots of people would come to the show to see "Doc" Sev erinsen or to hear him play a tune at the rodeo and if he played a few numbers with the band at the dance you would n't be able to pack the people in, would probably have to use both sides of the pavilion. Should the committee decide to build around Just the fair or just the rodeo, they should pick a grand marshal from the many who have been devoted and dedicate! to the Fair and Rodeo. If they decide to honor a lo cal citizen for what he has done for the local economy, for the northeastern Oregon area, and for the entire state, they must pick Mr. Harold Cohn. He is. I understand, the only living relative in this area of Henry Heppner who founded this city Just 100 years ago. Harold Cohn is known nation ally and internationally as Mr. Big Sheep in the sheep indus try. He alone is responsible for establishing a constant market for the sheep and cattle for this whole area for over 20 years. Maybe he out-traded some folks a time or two, but if he did that was their fault not his, and he never cheated anyone and his checks were always good. Sincerely, W. W. Weatherford P.S. Harold Cohn was the an nouncer for the first rodeo at Heppner. Ed Cutting hear from them. The Methodist Church basement has been offered as a meeting place. A meeting time should be de termined soon. Each individual attending will be furnished with an informa tion kit. The groups' decisions will be forwarded to the Ore gon Great Decisions Council and then will be sent on to Washington, D. C. Political Sci ence Professor Austin F. Walter of OSU is state president. Eight Topics for 1972 The topics to be discussed by this year s groups are: (1) Viet nam and After, (2) Japan, the Common Market and the U. S. (3) The Soviet Union and the U. S, (4) Chile's Marxist ex periment, (5) Ou China Policy, (6) Poor Nations and Rich Na tions, (7) Guns andor Butter, (8) Our Crowded World. Most discussion groups range in size from eight to fifteen or more people. The Oregon Great Decisions Council states "People can have an impact on world affairs, but only as they are willing to inform themselves and then take action to tell others what they believe. The Great Decisions program offers all citizens this opportunity." "And to think our money is in the bank at only five per cent!" 4-H Livestock Leaders Meet Friday at 2, at the First Na tional Bank Conference room will be held a meeting for all 4-H livestock leaders. Extension Agent Don Stangel urges all to be present as ideas need to be presented for the Fair, and for the 4-H livestock program for the year. Parties Help the Simmons Trio Last week the seventh and eighth grade students under the leadership of Mrs. Richard Meador organized a popcorn sale at the elementary school. The students made the pop corn and sold it at the basket ball game and about the school on Thursday their efforts net ted over $50.00 for the Simmons. This week, Monday evening, Mrs. Clint McQuarrle gave a neighborhood coffee party and miscellanous shower for Jo and her boys In the McQuarrle home on Court Street. Dear Mrs. Heard: I agree with Alice Vance that we don't need Dr. Severinsen to lead our parade. We have so many men in our own county that will fill the job with honor and have earn ed the honor. As they have spent years here helping to im prove life for all. PS. I'll add I'm not one of Doc's fans. Sincerely, Martha Van Schoiack OOPS I la the 50th Wedding Anniversary story about Mr. and Mrs. Albert Schunk. it was re ported that Mrs. Schunk was employed at Pioneer Memorial Hospital as a dietitian. She ac tually worked at the County Hospital on Water Street which was before Pioneer Memorial's time and she was not the diet itian there. Veterans Info QUESTION I was honorably discharged from military service recently, and wonder if some type of in surance is available? ANSWER If you have a service-connected disability, you may qualify for Service Disabled Veterans Insurance. You must apply with in one year of the date of VA notice that service connection is granted. However, you may ap ply before requesting or receiv ing a grant of service connec tion, and VA will determine whether you are eligible for this insurance. Also, a veteran may convert his Servicemen's Group Life Insurance to an individual, permanent policy within 120 days of separation from service. Need spare cash?
