Happy Camp is making news again.
About a month ago, John Sugdcn, superintendent
' of the Happy Camp Union Elementary School district,
publicly took California State Superintendent of Public
Instruction Max Raffcrty to task over a letter Rafferty
had sent to all school board presidents in the state.
Sugden's letter got quite a bit of publicity in California
and southern Oregon.
Last Thursday the town figured prominently in a
Wall Street Journal story concerning the problems of
the federal Area Redevelopment administration. A por
tion of the story follow:
"At Happy Camp, a small lumbering town on the
Klamath river in northern California, the reopening of
a plywood veneer mill last year after a three-month
cloaedown provoked some unhappy protests.
"The objections came from competing mill owners,
who had been relieved to have one less competitor
sharing a business in which fierce competition hud
driven prices down 14 in two years. However, their
displeasure was not so much aimed at Josephine Ply
wood CO., the firm which purchased and reopened the
mill, as at a federal agency which loaned the new owners
S325.000, or 68 of the purchase price, at 4 interest.
The other mill owners charged that the federal aid
helped a competitor at their expense; the government
replies that ita primary interest was in restoring 40 jobs
that had been lost when the mill closed.
"The agency under fire at Happy Camp is the Area
Redevelopment administration (ARA), a commerce de
partment branch created and granted a four-year life
by Congress In May, 1961. Conceived as a major weapon
of New Frontier economic policy, ARA's primary mis
sion is to channel federal funds, in the form of loans
and grants, into public and private ventures that would
create Jobs In chronically depressed areas."
The article went on to report that the ARA has
classified 996 areas as "depressed" (Josephine and Siski
you countiei are among them) and approved loans and
grants totalling 84.t million, creating an estimated
35,000 Jobs directly and another 20,000 Jobs In related
industries. It then explored some of the unfavorable
response the program has received, noting that some
areas objected to being called "depressed." Some of the
most violent complaints, the article said, have come
from businessmen like those at Happy Camp ,who ob
jected to being, so-to-speak, forced to compete with firms
created primarily with tax money.
We suspect one of the principal reasons Happy Camp
was picked for the prominent role in the Journal's story
was that it provided perfect material for one of the
headlines used: "Unhappiness In Happy Camp."
