Great Frustration Killer A skill whether a natural one or a learned one is Joy to behold There's great admiration for a person who can find a stud in a wall to find the place to ban? a picture, to replace a asher in a leaky faucet, to replace a plug-in for a floor lamp, find the simple reason h an ap pliance -just stopped", repair a leak in the garden hose, sharpen a shovel and on and on and on. In every high school a "Home Maintenence" course should be taught and required for graduation: Everyone, boy or girl, whether they marry or not ill have some kind of an abode that will require attention. For the girl ho marries a boy with five thumbs she'll have the knowledge that will not only save a pretty penny In cents but also time in not waiting for a repairman or her husband. With the knowledge such a course would provide, you d never get that frustrated feeling, "everything's happen ing at once" 1 need the electrician, the plumber, the car penter, the cement man etc. etc. Things wouldn't fall to pieces if thev are properly maintained. Instruction in home maintenance should be designed to teach how to properly maintain or repair furniture, home appliances and conveniences as well as the dwelling and surrounding area, stress safety in and around the home as well as in the use and care of tools. In addition each stu dent should have an awareness of fire and safety hazards in his own home. Students would learn the correct names for tools, how to use them correctly and how to properly maintain them. Such skills as scissor sharpening, replacing handles and miking adjustments should be learned. The use and ap plication of all kinds of fasteners including nails, screws, clue etc. should be practiced. Another series of lessons should be on repair and re finishing of furniture. Chairs should be completely dis mantled, cleaned, old varnish or paint removed, redowel ed and glued and finally refinished to be as sound and at tractive as am new chair. Other skills should include repair and maintenance of electrical appliances, windows, garden hoses, side walks and plumbing. Also, worn toggle switches and light fix tures replaced. The repair and maintenance of the dwelling including re roofing, repairing foundations and painting would be included. Even if they made a pile of money and did hire all of these odd chores done, it would make them more appre ciative aod thoughful of the serviceman who did come to do the job. LETTERS T0 m April IT, 1972 President L.E. Dick Morrow County Chamber of Commerce Heppner, Oregon Dear Ed: Kinzua Corporation appre ciates your views and the ex pressions of the Chamber on forest management, including too many roads, and the need for some areas to be left in their natural state. We assure you of our cooperation and do not believe any fur ther action by the Chamber is necessary to meet your :oncerns. Let's move for ward together in meeting new challenges. Currently, our Heppner employees are very concerned about the housing shortage. Both long term planning and some short term interim action is urgently needed. New housing is the real answer but our current problem can best be met by a rental trailer court. Your assistance in such a develop ment would be greatly appre ciated. During environmental week at Heppner HighSchool, three of our foresters presented classroom '.ectures on the new Oregon Forest Practice Act. effective July 1, 1972 and took students on field trips to our Heppner mill. The students were very in terested in the half million dollar expenditure by Kinzua Corporation on environmen tal controls.

Students asked why we would voluntarily give up the use of the log pond if it was helpful in cleaning and thawing logs and told we expected suffer environ mental controls in the fut ure and decided to meet the problem now. We compliment the Heppner merchants on the new look downtown by the trees on the sidewalks. We are commen cing to plant pine trees along our highway right of way and and will reseed the distur bed hilly pond areas to grass as soon as possible. We are told Canadian Honkers thrive on settling ponds such as ours and trust we can add this form of wildlife to our area.

She is a cousm that I have never seen and her maiden name was Lela Peterson. 1 don't know if she ever married, her fat her was my mothers brother.

Thank you Goergia Ladson Nelson 2920 50th Street 2920 50th St. Des MJines, Iowa 50310 Above letter was sent to Pat Brindle.) Notice Ed. note: Ed Dick's tes timony as presented at the April 1 hearing.) Tf?EES FOREVER-MCLTI-PLE USE overused words that have led us to believe that everything is fine with the lumlier industry and the management of our public forest lands. Closer examination reveals that we may not have trees forever, and multiple use seems to start with the log ging and then decide what other -use the forest might be put to. Of course we end up with the roads, and this is my main gripe and has been for some time. In the Heppner Ranger Dis trict of the t'matilla National Forest, there are 196,000 acres, and according to a forest service study of 1969, there were 388 miles of im proved roads in the district The report also stated that by 1983 this figure would bt 1000 miles of improved roads. These are rock-base gravel roads with 50 to 100 foot rightaways This does not include an other 600 miles of roads in the area that are used by the loggers, but travelled by the woodsman, the hunter, the stockman, and anyone else that cares to use them. Many of the roads proposed to be finished by 1983 are under construction and most of the rest have been sur veyed Many of these roads appear to serve no purpose and the cost must have been a financial burden to the log ger and resulted in consid erably less turn-over of tax offset money . One thousand miles of road on a 60 foot rightaway represents over 7000 acres taken out of pro duction entirely, and creates erosion and drainage pro blems, not to mention the ad ditional harrassment of wild life. It would appear that if we can afford this extravagant use of land for roads, we can afford a wilderness area. However, I am not opposed to the logging of the Kelly prairie or Texas Butte area. do not want it logged in the manner some adjacent areas were recently logged, and I see no reason for con structing the roads proposed for these areas.

A Mrs. Heard A committee of six people now living in the Portland area and all former students at Heppner High School met recently to plan a picnic for July 30th at Roslyn Park near Sandv. Oreeon. The purpose of the picnic is to re-establish contact with friends and renew old acquaintances for graduates and former stu dents and their families of Heppner, Lexington and lone High Schools. We feel that the friend ships made during those ear lier years are lasting and sin cere and should be relived when the opportunity presents itself. To enable us to precede further with this plan, we ask that anyone in ttie Port land area, Morrow County area or any area who would be interested inattending tliis type of function send their name and address to Karen (Valentine) Smith Ft. 3, Box 982, Gresham, Or or Judy (Spaulding) Laughlin, Hep pner. They will then re ceive further notice on the ac tivity. As many of the former residents of the county read your paper, we are using this means to urge them to res pond. It will be a mem orable and nostalgic oc cassion.
