TO Kinzua's New Industry Hums The open house and tours Saturday at the new Kinzua veneer plant m Heppner saw a big constant flow of visitors From beginning to end. it was a fine experience to see the manufacture of veneer, first step in making plywood, the material of a million uses. The big lathe, in peeling the logs, forms a wonderful fabric and. like snowflakes. shows an infinite variety of grains and designs. Yes. Nature is most wonderful. The economy here is greatly affected by the addition of the 80 new jobs The chips go to paper milis. the shavings go to particle board plants. This was all made possible by innovations in manufacturing and logging techniques utilizing second growth timber from the Kinzua tree farm. Last year, Kinzua announced cooperative programs with D'.jhc agencies and local ranchers Thev recentlv retjorted planting 69.500 trees, thinning of 460 acres, seeding of 1306 acres ar.c tne construction of 120 stock ponds. A full time clean-up crp-v has been added to their logging operations to assure full compliance with the new Oregon Forest Practices Act. So. we sav Three Cheers for Kinzua! THE EDITOR. NATIONAL hi nting and fishing day In the United States, some 50 million hunting and fishing sportsmen will have a long overdue chance shortly to correct some of the many fallacies concerning such matters as sportsmen and the environment, gun ownership, the place of hunters and fishermen in conservation. The occasion is National Hunting and Fishing Day to be observed September 23, 1972. The most effective leaders today in the fight to save the environment developed their dedication to the cause from their early outdoor experiences in hunting and fishing. For many years, the only funds available (or federal and state government conservation of natural resources came from special taxes and fees levied solely on hunters and fishermen. To day, they have contributed sone $2.5 billion in tax and license fees for the conservation of game and other resources. National Hunting and Fishing Day is. "...a celebration. ..to call attention to the considerable contribution hunters and fishermen make to our national welfare and introduce the nonhunting public to the hunters and fishermen in their community with the view of promoting harmony and a greater total public concern tor the conservation of natural resources and the maintenance of viable environment." National Hunting and Fishing Day should help rebuild understanding of the facts about today's hunting and fishing sportsmen-particularly those who exercise the basic right of gun ownership and carry forward a great American heritage that began with the founding of the Nation.

An article in the morning paper by a proponent for adopting the metric system for our weights and measures made interesting reading. The possibility that it might cost 20 to 30 billion dollars and ten years of inventory confusion didn't seem to stagger the guy. Our present system is well bedded in our economy in spite of its deficiencies, and before we take his suggestion seriously we have some other matters to take care of. For example, pollution, poverty and trade balance. To expouse every suggested innovation would be like having all one's teeth pulled in one yank.

Remember we learned that in school somewhere along the way. Well, the other morning I decided to go downtown so put on my best "bib and tucker" but decided to slip on a pair of old comfortable shoes for awhile. My new dress, hat, gloves and best jewelry to really cut a swath. All went well-in and out of stores until inadverten tly I looked down at my feet. Well, you guessed it my comfortable shoes I still had on. Oh they weren't bad looking except the left one was resplendent with narrow strap with small silver buckle--the right one lacked the trimming. For a moment I felt panic then said to myself "No one looks at both feet at the same time" and went on my merry way.
