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.
