Editorial Comment SAINTS AND SINNERS? : The other day we heard a legislator expound on moral ity in his avocation. "I make compromises when I need to get a bill through and I some times change my vote. I make deals and I make advance commitments." And he went on to indicate that he is frankly Machiavellian now . and then when he considers that a means justifies an end Then he said that critics should pause a moment be fore they jump in frothing "Sinners shouldn't expect saints to represent them." And at this time in the ses- ,sion, when legislators are tired and hoping to salvage ;just some small bit of what they came here so confident .of achieving and when the rest of us have had our fill of reading about the lawmaking struggle this is a timely comment. Our frankly practical legis lator even went further. He said that Oregonians get " lot better than they deserve. We can see how he feels. Oregonians turned down pay raise for legislators. They turn down taxes every time they get a chance to vote on them. They vote for costly programs to be paid for with these defeated revenue meas ures. They lobby and scream and goad and intimidate when a bill affects their pocket book, and say not a word in support of a fine bill that touches them only indirectly. When this lawmaker goes ' home this week or next week, . scarred but unbowed because he thinks maybe he fought -the good fight, a friend will ask. "Where you been? . Haven't seen you around " lately." For the rattle and .the rush obscure one big de moralizing fact: Most people don t even care. Though we've groused frequently about specific items this session, we've nev- r belittled the effort and the dedication of most of these . men who've probably been jnore sinned against than sin-Jiing. And some, here and there, do care, which we hope makes it worth the wear and .wounds. v Salem Capital-Journal.

A training program is un der way by the Jackson Coun ty Chamber of Commerce for personnel who will man the visitors information center on the Siskiyou summit this sum mer, according to Don Mc Neil,, manager. The first of four sessions was held Monday with the fol lowing meetings planned for Thursdays at 7 p.m. Attending the first session were 23 college students, part of whom are Jackson county residents, as well as several women who have vol unteered to help following the opening. Included in Monday's class was a written examination on Oregon and area history. Text books for the course are area, chamber of commerce promo tional, and travel folders from throughout the state. General Knowledge McNeil explained that not only was some general knowl edge of the state important for the personnel, but knowl edge of available literature where additional information may be obtained was equally significant. The local manager explain ed that it was impossible for a person to know all the facts about the state and area, even persons who have lived here for many years. The following quiz was giv en Monday evening at the first session of the classes without prior preparation. High score was 77, McNeil said, with the Strawberries Should Be Sprayed for Rollers Strawberries and gooseber ries should be sprayed now to control leaf rollers in straw berries and the gooseberry worm, according to Don Ber ry, Jackson county extension agent. Leaf rollers are serious dur ing the spring and summer, Berry said, and cause trouble by rolling and killing the leaves on the strawberry Three Appointed To Positions at Crater Lake Park Fred J. Novak of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National parks has been appointed as sistant superintendent of Cra ter Lake National park, Thomas J. Williams, superin tendent, has announced. Two other positions at the park also have been filled, he said. They are George Cook sey, Ft. Chaffee, Ark., who is a plumber at Crater lake, and Herbert Gerald, Anchorage, Alaska, who has been appoint ed as mechanic's helper. Novak started his career in the national park service as a seasonal telephone-operator- stenographer in 1935 in Gla cier National park. He also has served at Death Valley National monument, and Bryce and Zion Canyon Na tional parks. " ' " " Transferred to California In 1952, he was transferred to Sequoia-Kings Canyon Na tional parks where he worked as administrative assistant un til his promotion and transfer to Crater Lake. Cooksey fills a plumbers position. which has been vacant since July, 1958, Williams said. He has been a plumber at Ft. Chaffee, Ark., since 1956. Prior to that he was employed by a construction in California. Gerald has filled the new mechanic's helper position at the machine shop as part of the Mission 66 program, Wil liams said. The position was created and designed to in crease the park system's effi ciency in its service to the public. Gerald was foreman at the Jet Engine shop at Elmen dorpf Air Force base, Anchor age, Alaska, where he has worked for the past 13 years. Prior to that he was employed at Kodiak Naval Air station, Pensacpla Air station, and in automotive repairs in New York, New Jersey and Miami, Fla. plants The damage is caused by small worms which develop from an egg. laid by a buff colored moth. The moths are easily spotted when walking through the patch, Berry said, because great numbers of them fly close to the surface during bad infestations. Control Measures Control measures consist of spraying during bloom with DDT, or later up to harvest with malathion or methoxy chlor, Berry said a heaping ta blespoon of 50 per cent DDT powder in a gallon of water will generally control the pests for the season, but if they recur, a heaping table spoon of malathion or methox ychlor powder in two gallons of water may be used up to within three days of harvest. Home gardeners who have been troubled with goose berry worms in the past should apply spray now to control the trouble, Berry said. Flies emerge early in April and lay eggs beneath the skin of developing berries, Berry said, and control measures are applied against the adult flies. Two ounces or two heaping tablespoons of 50 per cent methoxychlor wettable pow der in three gallons of water applied thoroughly is recom mended. The sprays should be continued at two-week inter vals until harvest, he said.
