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

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.
