Distribution David and April Hilton-Sykes, Publisher Letters to the Editor Kinzua sold down the river To the Editor: Should the Kinzua debacle go from bad to worse, we all will suffer. Friends will be out of work, businesses we rely upon will close, our taxes will rise. Has it occurred to anyone that maybe the Morrow County com munity was sold down the river and not bought down the river? Who owes an explanation of why the mill was sold? Who has benefited from over-harvest of the forests? Who has enjoyed years of faithful employee trust? Good public relations have been sadly neglected. Maybe the wrong people are being blamed. The war effort from 1939 to 1945 greatly accelerated lumber consumption nationally and abroad. Did over-cutting as op posed to “ sustained yield” help bring on this situation? Timber supply has been further reduced by environmentalist influence. Very truly yours, (s) C.K and Lucile Peck Remembering Juanita Carmichael To the Editor: Noting the passing of Juanita Leathers Carmichael brings back many pleasant memories. I was a member of her first class after her graduation from Oregon Nor mal school. That long ago date was September 1927, when I entered the third grade at the one room Pleasant Point schoolhouse on Little Butter Creek. It was nestled midway between Frank Swaggart and William Cunningham ranches. Among the pupils were children from the Mitchell Cunningham, Daly, Swaggart and Cunha families. Juanita stayed with the Frank Sw aggarts. H er mode of transportation on the mile or so trip was by horseback. Building a fire and any necessary janitorial chores were all a part of her teaching assignment. She retained her coveted school bell to her dying day. It should go into the historical archives at the Morrow County Museum. After 44 outstanding years in the educational field, she retired in May of 1971 at the age of 65. Incidentally, can any of the “ young old timers” tell me what's so pleasant about Pleasant Point? The school overlooked a dilapidated and run down cemetery which appeared to have not had a caretaker for years. In closing, may I suggest that this long abandoned school be given a historical m arker designation. Further, that it be moved into the Heppner city park along side the Democrat Gulch School. Both schools played a big part in the education of our children in the early part of the century. We salute, too, two fine teachers, Juanita Charmichael and Marguerite Glavey, who were an integral part of their lear ning the abc’s etc. (s) William Mitchell Daly City, CA.
