To the Editor: I read with disgust and a sickening heart an article in the (Salem) Capital Press. January 23. 81. issue in regard to the world's largest "feed lot" at Boardman. Oregon where the construction was on schedule. As a long time "animal defender." the very thought of this "concentration camp." for the defenseless creatures that are not able to defend themselves, for the sole pur pose of lining the pockets of a few "money greedy lunatics" ' whose only God is the "Golden Calf." Why I so vigoursly oppose this "Concentration camp" is because of its mass torture potentials, for in the winter time, if its not frozen, these victims will be up in mud to their bellies, or it could be 30 below zero, snowing, raining, sleet or freezing rain. Yes. nature could be cruel too. and for their summer lot. it , will no doubt be. 130 in the shade and a great grand-dad Land Use planning unwanted. To the Editor: r Having read the recent interviews by the Argus Ob- server, with several people1 regarding rural land use, planning, I was intrigued by a statement made by Neil Venturacci. The news article quoted him as saying. "It is my opinion that the people who have introduced land use planning are not concerned with the preservation of the farmer, but are concerned only with the preservation of farm land," unquote. Not being a farmer and not fully comprehending what he meant by the statement, I phoned him and asked for a clarification. His answer was striking and eye opening. I was given many examples of what is happening to farmers in many sections of the United States where rural land plan ning is being implemented and why he considers rural land use planning an entrapment to agriculture. A few examples as told to me are listed below. 1. Eugene, Oregon are: One of the major agricultural endeavors in the Willamette Valley is the growing of grass seeds, etc. These growers must burn their fields after harvest and for the past several years, the residents of Eugene and other large cities have harassed the growers to either stop growing grass seed n " Elks Annual Feb. 2 1st Stuffed Pork Chops Stuffed Bake Potatoes Upstairs Bill Nicols FrL & Sat.

What disturbs me some more, is to think that some bureaucrats" in our government have issued a permit for its protection. If we didn't have the biggest crop of "pumpkin heads" and "gutless wonders" in our government, these camps couldn't exist. What should really happen in this case, should he that everyone invol ved both in and out of government in this project, should he charged with 3000 cases of "animal cruelty" which should carry a year in jail and a $10,000 fine in each case. In clnsine. as a "animal defender" all mv life, who has the intelligence to realize that we need all creatures that God put on this earth, so that we of the human race mav survive, this "animal torture camp" goes down in the last word of "gross and inhuman cruelty."

Wheat growers in Wash ington State were forbidden to spray their wheatfields this past summer because the spray drifted for several miles and damaged other farmers tender crops. How does land planning protect the wheat growers? 3. Because of low sugar beet prices the past few years, all of Washington State and Eastern Idaho lost their sugar beet industry. Mr. Venturacci said he hasn't seen or heard of any efforts by land planners, with the millions of dollars at their disposal, or the government agencies cooperating with the land planners, do anything to protect the beet growers. I fully agree with Venturacci and other oppo nents of rural land use planning. The plan is not to protect the farmer but only to control the land. I would hope that when the people every where will recognize that the plan is a fake, will join the farmers in their valiant efforts to avoid this unwanted entrapment. Sincerely. Howard G. Davis P.O.

"In the last second, the losing quarterback fell back behind his goalpost and pouted." Our beloved City-County Library system informs me it has a copy (buried somewhere) of a funny book by a funny woman named Jane Mcllvane about the funny (only when I laugh) things that can happen in the publishing of a weekly newspaper. s catle "M Happens Every Thursday." IT DOES, INDEED, happen every Thursday-if Thursday happens to be the day on which you publish a weekly newspaper. As hardly anyone knows, I am editor of Oklahoma's greatest weekly newspaper. The Bixby Bulletin (I do It to earn eating money. These" pieces in the Tribune merely furnish loose change for me to speculate in the gold market. ) as a weekly editor, I can attest (smiling bravely as the tears run down my cheeks) that what the woman wrote is the whole truth. I wish I had the book before me so I could quote from it, but in the meantime, I can supply enough material here to develop into a book of my own. What happens every Thursday? Dreadful things. Unbelievable things. Unforgettable (and unforgiveable) things. Black magic. Plain sorcery. Ohand wonderful, warm, exciting, fulfilling things, too. But it's ftie booboos that seem to run against all reason and logic; over and over... Such as why one business ad always has a hex on it. (You know, the prices are wrong or the address is wrong or the date is wrong or the brand names are wrong or it's upside down.) SUCH AS WHY the gremlins seem to attack the same subscriber over and over changing the rural route number or obliterating it entirely or sendin two papers or none at all. Such as the ever-present typographical error that occurs exactly where it will make a story absolutely incomprehens ible. The football story with the wrong score or no score, the picture of the beautiful bride captioned, "Mr. jean Fallowground," the 28 -pound, 4-oz. baby boy. The switched headlines: The sad obituary with "FFA Ewe Wins Grand Champion" on it, or the engagement story with "Investigation Promised in Con Game." Whatever happens, you can be darned sure it will be embarrassing. There are few benign errors. Unless you think about it, you don't realized how the dropping of just one line can change an innocuous piece into a dreadful: Story about a highway crew working in the area : "Most of the men are . . . men." About a lovely surprise party: "All of the guests were carried out by the hostess." RUNNER-UP TO that one: "The guest of honor was . . . topped with whipped cream." Vic Barnett, longtime managing editor of the Tribune, used to come storming into the newsroom, waving a paper and hollering, "HOW can these things HAPPEN?" Well real easy. . . . , ..Jim Downing, a veteran newspaperman who publishes the weekly Bixby (Okla.) Bulletin, also writes a column for the Tulsa (Okla.) Tribune, from which this wag taken.
