Newfoundland Mines and Resources' Minister W. J. Keough described the situa tion as the worst in memory. The largest and most seri ous fire was burning in the estuary between Alix river and Gilbert river in the coun try behind Port Hope Simp son. It was reported to- be burning in the center of a great timber reservoir which was to be used to supply a third pulp mill in Labrador whenit is established. by Donald R. Brand of Flor ence, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Barker of Portland, Mrs. Joe D. Kiser of Osmego and Mr. and Mrs. Roy D. Pierce of Milwaukie. The second group of 18 was led by Mr. and Mrs. Robert B. Sweet of Portland. The students are 16 and 17 years of age. Under a carefully planned schedule, the groups spent six days in Washington, talking with members of Congress and visiting- government buildings and the scenes of early historical events; 3 days in Williamsburg, Va., the town that has been restored by the Rockefellers as it might have been as a colonial village; a day in Philadelphia, birthplace of the nation; 3 days in Boston, retracing the ride of Paul Revere, climbing Bunker Hill and visiting other famous places such as Harv ard; 6 days in New York, ob serving the UN and enjoying the sights and broadway shows (My Fair Lady and Raisen in the . Sun); a final day in Washington for what ever they missed tne nrst time through the capital. Total Cost . This grand tour costs each student $444, which covers transportation, hotels, meals and even laundry money. "If they learned anything," observed Sweet with a grin, "it was how to wire home for money and how to cash money oorders." ' . Sweet, who teaches and coaches football at Woodrow Wilson high school, said the tour was "tremendous" be cause the group gets to go be hind the scenes to talk to of ficials. For example, they were briefed in New York by UN officials; they interviewed Oregon Sens. Wayne Morse and Richard L. Neuberger, as well as Rep. Edith Green; they went back stage for a chat with Ralph Bellamy after seeing him star in "Sun rise at Campobello"; and they had their picture taken with a presidential contender, Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) "Kennedy really wowed them," said SweeC "They were like wet bread after talking with him." Congresswoman Green was another who made a big hit, she guided them around the Capitol for much of one day, Sweet saidr "They loved her like a sec ond mother when they walked out of her office," recalled Sweet. Many of the youngsters come from Republican fami lies, their leaders said, and they were especially set to throw, some sharp questions at Sen. Morse. But the closest they got. to a field of contro versy involving Morse was when one student asked: "Do most senators from the same state agree?" . "In the years since Sen. Neuberger has been in the Senate, we have agreed (on issues) more .times' than Sen. (Guy) Cordon and I agreed," replied Morse. ' "There are teams that agree more often than Sen. Neuberger and I, such as Hill and Sparkman of Alabama." Great Differences . But he added that there are great differences between the senators from other states, such as South Dakota, North Dakota, Georgia, 'Florida, Texas and Mississippi. "They found him as smooth as glass," said Sweet later. Students in the first group gave Sen. Neuberger some sharp questions on his bill to create an Oregon Dunes Na tional Seashore Recreation area. The students were from Florence, seat of most of the vocal opposition. ; Another student thought the Democrats proposed too many socialistic programs, after Neuberger said he thought "the average working man thinks the Democratic party is interested in his wel fare."; ' . ' Charge of Socialism In reply td the charge of socialism, 'Neuberger said: "You have to take each thing on its merits instead of call ing it a name." He asked the students whether they thought the fire department, or the police or the public . schools were socialistic. "Some things are just too important to be left to private enterprise,, he contended. The second group also went for a tour of the headquart ers of the Teamsters, but they didn't get to see President James R. Hoffa, who was en gaged elsewhere. Mature on Trip , "These kids have matured tremendously," Sweet said be fore -they left for home. "We encouraged them to do things on their own during free time, like take a subway ride in New York. Some had never even been on a streetcar be fore." , . . ; As for the girl who got chicken pox, Judith Rogers of Portland, after being left behind in a Boston, hospital, she planned to rejoin the group in Chicago for tha last lap back to Portland via rail way coach, the group's means of economic transportation from coast to coast and city to city in the east. nuw ; CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Station KBOY. 730 K.C.
