Re-name Canyon Route?
Why I not the name U. 8. Highway 20 (north) for highway 222? I S.
llighw ay 20 spends a vast area of the United States. This same highway
proceeds in a snake like manner down the South Santiam < anyon towards
Lebanon, Albany, Corvallis and the Pacific coast highway 101. Just as I . S.
Highway 20 now intersects U. S Highway 99, so wall “U. 8. Highway 20
( north)**. , Already there is a I . 8. highway 99E and 99W.
¥
¥
¥
There is no doubt that highway 222 is a superior travel route when il
is compared with ils southern partner, I . S. Highway ’’0. State highway
222 provides the short» ‘ route to Salem and Portland from key points east
and south of Oregon, with the exception of the < olumbia River route on
Oregon’s northern border.
Besides being a shorter, better laid-out, and planned highway, state
highway 222 has the added feature of taking the traveler through a vast
and wonderful recreation area. Many beautiful lakes, which are well-stocked
with fish, dot route 222. Out-of-state tourists in Oregon miss these vacation
possibilities by sticking to U. S. Highway 20.
The federal government’s huge Detroit flood control and power develop
ment in the North Santiam Canyon opens up a great recreational area along
route 222.

The purposes of re-naming highway 222 are many and important to North
Santiam Canyon citizens. Generally only one route from Salem to Bend
is kept open the entire year, and that route is highway 222. By re-naming
222 “U. S. Highway 20 (north)” its travel and tourist benefits would wipe
out the feeling, "where does that road go?”
Attempts have been made in the past towards getting the name of the
canyon's highway changed, laical citizens pressed the state highway com
mission on this issue, but got nothing but a none-too-polite brush off for
their trouble. It would seem that the state would soon realize the “gold
mine” of a vacation-land it has in the North Santiam Canyon country. The
federal government already has constructed the most difficult parts of high
way 222 because of the backward attitude displayed by the Oregon govern
ment. Plus re-locating and widening 222 near federal resource developments,
"Uncle Sam" has provided much of the monies for the remainder of the
route from Bend to Salem and Portland.
¥
¥
¥
The North Santiam ( hamher of Commerce should "move in” on this
matter of re-naming 222. Individual citizens would do well by constantly
reminding local, state, and federal representatives that they should do all
they can towards getting a job of re-naming done—NOW!
Editorial Comments
SMEARS AND SMEARERS
Within the past two years several
words and phrases have been added
to the rapidly giowing list of terms in
common usage which often can be
called "smears” bv definition “to I>e-
smirch, sully, defame.” The smear
technic is an old one, though not
especially honored. There is some
person, group of persons or some
institution whom one does not like,
Then, apply to that person, group or
institution words cloudy with ill
meaning so that men will easily and
inevitably connect the subjects with
the colored expressions which
designed to cast all manner of doubt
upon the subject's patriotism, religion,
cranial capacity or birth.
By such means is the spirit and
conscience of democracy dealt another
stinging blow'.

Below are a few of the terms com
ing into accepted use by many circles
who are interested in discrediting
everything from the State Depart
ment to the next door neighbor.

at least two years of college and
