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.

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

'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

Ed Cutting. Mrs. Ola Ruggles

"What the country will be like
in 1980." The pictures depicted
the present pollution of land,
air. water and noise. Solid

the growing area should not ex

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.

To the Editor:
The committees planning the
festivities of the Morrow Coun
ty Fair and Rodeo might con
sider First, the Fair in itself is like
all fairs, a county project or lo
cal project and a good one.
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

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.
