Dedication of
Bully Creek Dam
Planned Aug. 10
Vale - IUPD - Dedication
ceremonies at Bully Creek
dam near Vale, Aug. 10 will
climax more than 30 years of
planning and work on the
project.
A full day of activities,
highlighted by the appear
ance of state and national
dignitaries, will be staged.
Gov. Mark O. Hatfield will
give the welcoming address.
The program also features
Congressman Al U 1 1 m a n;
Sens. Maurine Neuberger and

son, regional director for the
Bureau of Reclamation; Gil
bert A. Stamm, chief of irri
gation and land use for the
Bureau of Reclamation; Ore
gon Secretary of State Howell
Appling; State Sen. Anthony
Yturri and State Rep. Robert
F. Smith.
To Review History
The dedication speech will
be given by Floyd E. Dom
iny, Commissioner of Recla
mation. A history of the project
will be given by Orville
Kime, construction engineer
for the dam. Kime began his
career with the bureau when
he came to work on the Vale
Project in 1927.
The idea of a dam on Bully
creek was first conceived in
the early 1930s when water
rights for storage were first
obtained by the Vale Irr'ga
tion district and surveys wee
started bv the Bureau of
Reclamation.
The dam is a rolled earth
fill type. It is 98 feet high
and 2,600 feet long and stores
32,000 acre feet of water to
irrigate 5,000 acres in the
Vale Project.
Effectiveness of
Negro Voter Drive
Political Mystery
Imitation Milk
Label Required
Salem-IUPll-Beginning Sept.
2 all public eating places and
vending machines in the
state will have to label any
imitation milk products they
serve.
The labeling requirement
comes as a result of action by
the 1963 legislature.
The State Department of
Agriculture said today that
menus in places where imita
tion milk is served must state
that fact.
Also under the new law,
the words milk, butter,
cream, creamery, churn,
cheese, cow or dairy can't be
used as a part of the trade
name nor in the description
of products intended to be
used as a substitute for dairy
or milk products.

One of the great political
mysteries of the day is how
effective the Negro voter reg
istration drive will be between
now and election day next
year.
The registration campaign,
while mostly undramatic, is
being pushed with quiet de
termination. Following virtu
ally all major racial demon
strations this year, it has
been announced by Negro
leaders that the program
would continue in the form of
voter registration.
Such an announce ment
was made in mrmingnam,
Ala.,. last May following dem
onstrations of near riot pro
portions. Some of the results
are beginning to come to light.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
who led the Birmingham civ
il rights drive, announced re
cently that 2,000 Negroes have
been added to the voter rolls
in six weeks, bringing the
city's voting Negroes to about
14,000.
Used Sam Figures
The Justice department
used the same figures this
week to show how far behind
are Birmingham Negroes in
voting status. The govern
ment noted that of 116,100
Negroes eligible to vote only
14,000 are registered. There
are 120,000 white voters
among 256,300 eligible, it was
stated.
George Bellsnyder, chair
man of the Jefferson (Birm
ingham) county board of regis-
trars, denies that his county
discriminates against voter ap
licants. He explains that white
and Negro applicants are giv
en the same forms, are asked
the same questions and hold
up their right hands to swear
to the same oath
The Justice department said
it had photographed voting
records for a year to gather
evidence. It charged Negroes
were tested strictly, the whites
were given the easy way out,
No Grading System
Bellsnyder replies:
"There is no grading sys
tem on the test. White and
Negro applicants are graded
exactly the same
"The fact is that only in
recent months have Negroes
P re-Teen Years Probably Trying Time for Parents
A 3
Br DAVID NYDICK
UPI Education Specialist
The pre-teen years often
are considered quite difficult.
This probably is more true
for parents than ' for the
youngsters.
Some typical reactions ol
pre-teen children:-. :
The mother of John,. IV,
suggested that they go to the
movies together on Saturday.
She was upset when he said
he planned to go swimming
with friends.
Fred. 12. told his father
he wanted to go hiking with
his Bov Scout' troop instead
of on a fishing trip with the
family. His father was sur
prised since they always had
so much fun on these trips.
-Ten-year-old Ann's room
was messy and she didn't
attempted to register. The
whites have been registering
all the time. Now the Negroes
are trying to catch up in one
year what was 100 years m
the making. You can't do it."
Alabama Atty. Gen. Rich
mond . Flowers argued last
week that some Negro voter
applicants had refused to
pledge they would bear arms
for their country - one of
the questions asked. He said
he thought no one should be
allowed to vote who wouldn't
do that.
As the voter registration
drive grows ever stronger, one
thing appears obvious: The
Justice Department will in
tervene more aggressively in
the coming months.
Justice Douglas

S. Supreme Court Justice
William O. Douglas, 64, was
divorced Wednesday, by his
wife, Mercedes, 46, who charg
ed the jurist treated her cruel-
ly and desired that they live
apart.
The divorce, the second for
both, was uncontested. She
formerly was married to C
Gerard Davidson, former as
sistant secretary of the inte
rior and now Democratic na
tional committeeman for Ore
gon.
Mrs. Douglas lives on
ranch near Glenwood, north
of this Columbia river city,
The divorce proceeding be-
for Judge Ross R. Rakow of
Klickitat County Superior
Court lasted only 15 minutes.
Mrs. Douglas was the only
witness. She told Judge Ra
kow that Douglas had told
her for more than a year that
he no longer cared for her
and that her efforts to bring
about a reconciliation had
failed.
The couple was married in
1954.
seem to care about her looks.
She preferred wearing dunga
rees to dresses. Hef parents
were distressed that she was
becoming a tomboy.
Difficult To Accept
These actions and attitudes
are difficult for parents to
accept. But the children want
to be with their peers. They
seem to rebel against the fam
ily. They appear to intention
ally reject authority just to
prove it can be done.
Up to this point the child
almost completely has been
dependent. He has enjoyed
spending time with his par
ents. He has shown only mi
nor signs of independence.
Now the change seems to be
quite dramatic.
The natural reaction oi
many parents is to block this
development. They will either
exert more authority or per
haps extend themselves to
show their love and affection.
The child reacts by becoming
more intent on proving his
independence: He becomes
stubborn.
Parents should realize that
this is part of growing up.
They too went through this
stage of development, and
should accept the child for
what he is. This doesn't mean
to drop all standards. It does
mean to administer authority
with understanding.
Allow the child to experi-

ment. He can learn a great
deal by trial and error. His
curiosity, restlessness, loud
behavior, and daring should
be guided into sate and satis
fying activities. He wants to
join clubs and organizations.
He may even organize a two
man club. He is seeking status
and recognition.
The pre-teen years surely
are trying times for parents.
The best approach is to recog
nize that most of this beha
vior is normal. Although the
child seems to resent love and
attention, he needs them as
much as ever. There is no
'need to permit him to become
disrespectful or extremely de
manding. He should have the
time and opportunity to pur
sue his private activities. If
this is arranged, he is more
likely to show cooperation
with the family.
Proper guidance at this
time can avoid serious trouble
in the future.

DROPOUTS ARE NOT GOING BACK TO SCHOOL
Our teen-age dropouts are not heading back to school
Despite urgent warnings exploding across the nation's front
pages, despite the obvious fact that school is their only
escape route from the swelling, dead-end ranks of unemploy
ment, dropouts are not going back to school.
There have been a few optimistic rumors, particularly
in New York City, that desperate dropouts were "escaping"
back to school. But even in the nation's biggest city, where
a concentrated "stay-in-school" program is under way, the
reports are definitely not true. ;
Item: Summer school enrollment in New York City's high
schools increased only a disappointing 5,900, compared to
more than 7,000 in 1962 and nearly 7,000 in 1961.
Item: Enrollments this fall in New York City are not ex
pected to rise at all. In 1961, enrollment was up 10,000 to
198,000; in 1962 it was up another 7,000 to 205,000.
This year the projection of the New York City Board
of Education is a status quo of 205,000.
Item: There are more school dropouts, in total numbers,
than ever before in history, even though the rate of dropouts
in New York City is down.
The story is the same throughout the country, says Eli
Cohen, executive secretary of the National Committee on
Employment of Youth. "There has been no groundswell
of dropouts going back to school, tmtead, ihey continue
to crowd into an overcrowded job market where they have
nothing to sell."
Teen-age unemployment today is running at the highest
rate since the government has kept -records. Officially, the
rate is 16 per cent, nearly three times the nation's overall
jobless rate of 5.7 per cent and up from 10.9 per cent in Just
one year. Fully 24 per cent of the nation's 4.1 million unem
ployed, the Labor Department reports, are teen-agers.
"Two million teen-agers now looking for jobs across the
country won't get them," Cohen states flatly more than
50 per cent of the number looking. "In New York City,
125,000 will have found jobs by the end of the summer; an
other 250,000 won t."
Bchinds these estimates is a growing number who are
out of school, out of work and who are not even looking for
work. About 300,000 across the nation have given up hope.
Other officials underline the crisis at hand: "Any young
ster between the ages of 16 and 21 who is out of school and
o it of work is social dynamite," says Dr. Bernard E. Dono
van, executive deputy superintendent of schools in New York
City. U.S. Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz has warned over
and over that the situation could develop into one of the
most explosive problems in the nation's history.
If they're not going back to school, what are all these
jobless leen-agers doing? "A few of them are taking part
in racial demonstrations as a temporary outlet for their
frustrations," says EH Cohen. "But a majority of them
are stewing in their own juices, hanging around restleti
and defeated, doing nothing."
At the heart of today's teen-age unemployment crisis is
one central fact; one million more babies were born in the
bumper year 1947 than were born in 1946. This year there
are 800,000 more in the 14-through-19 age group than there
were last year. And this is only the beginning: 3.8 million
boys and girls turn 16 this year including 1947's bumper
crop the "dropout age." To deepen the problem, the era
of automation is drying up unskilled job positions at a record
rate.
The need for a crash program to meet the crisis has never
been more obvious. Now is the time, more than ever before
in our history, far dropouts and unemllayef teen-agers to
nrpnarp themselves for skilled jobs. Further eaSucatiol ft
their only escape today.

threatened. If a fire starts in last year's blow
down, whole communities could be burned out.
As a result, every precaution possible is being
taken to reduce the danger. Regular seasonal fire
closures have been broadened to include some
lands previously open to the public. These clo
sures will run through September if necessary.
Your help is needed. Wherever you go in the
woods, please accept the responsibility for fire
prevention in the areas you use. Remember. The
kind of fire that never has a chance to start is
the fire that's easiest to control.
Whenever possible stay in established camp
ing areas. Observe the rules. Build fires oaly
where facilities are provided for them. If every
body does the same, it will be possible to prevent)
a major fire disaster this year.
