Up and Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt The last big holiday of the summer is just about here. Monday will be Labor Day. I suppose there will be the usual carnage on our highways. This holiday signals the coming fall season and a pick-up in the tempo of life that is character istic of this time of year. It is one of our newest holidays, and is intended to commemorate the contributions which labor has made to the economic, so cial and political development of the United States. With all the accomplish ments of labor and its present position of power, it has gained a deep responsibility to fur ther the orderly working of the U. S. economy and strengthen this nation’s ability to compete in the international market place of an ever-more competi tive world. This is a hard task, and as we enjoy this day of rest, let us give thought and our best wishes to American labor and to the men and women who must help move it and this na tion forward. If the unions can hold the line, so to speak on wage increases, they will have a much better chance to com pete with foreign markets. If they continue to strike for higher wages, some of these days the government will clamp restrictions on every thing—and that is not good for anyone. Did you ever stop to think that it is expected there will be some 120 million more peo ple in the United States in the next 30 years? With the influx of population, we must be con cerned with learning how to conserve and gain the greatest benefit from the land and for est resources of this nation. We have many tree farms in our own area. These tree farm ers say there are beautiful and special places in our magnifi cent country which must be held aside unspoiled and un trammeled, but we are at a point of crisis for land use and we do plead for reason in fac ing this crisis. Tree farmers in the San- tion Canyon area say “conserva tion is not locking the forest away. It is the multiple use of the forest lands. It is first the perpetuation of the forest in various age groups of trees so that the nation may have the benefit of products from this renewable resource forever. It is the use of the forest for grazing, for water retention, for wildlife for all the recrea tion activities from driving, to camping, to horseback riding, picknicking, fishing, rock hounding, hunting or any other use to suit the ever-growing number of people who want to come to the forest lands to get away from the noise and smog of the cities. Our modern timber compan ies are learning to grow better trees faster and to use each part of each tree more com pletely to make the thousands of wood derived products that are a part of cur everyday life. Forest products compan ies now hire timber managers in an effort to perpetuate the trees on their forest hold ings. Insuring a steady flow of logs to the mills is their only hope of continued prosperity. This is indeed the proper pro cedure. Locking up the forest is detrimental to everyone. Did you know that your I O U for the United States public debt is getting bigger. Each American at the end of May owed $91 more as his share of the nation’s debt than he did on the same day (May 31) in 1967. This sum, accord ing to Tax Foundaiton, Inc., represents the difference be tween the per capita U. S. debt on May 31, 1967—$1,676—and on May 31. 1968-$1.767. On May 31 this year, the total U. S debt was $353 billion, $21 billion higher than on the same flay in 1967. This is one more reason why it Is neces sary to cut federal spending now.

Hancock, 22 son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hancock of De troit, was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal with Combat “V” during ceremon ies held at Camp Pendleton, Calif. He received the award for heroic achievement while ser ving with the First Marine Division in combat operation against the enemy in Viet nam. During a reconnaissance pa trol, as a scout with Company A, First Reconnaissance Bat talion, his unit came under enemy attack. Upon discover ing that the radio operator was wounded Corporal Hancock continued communications with higher headquarters, di recting fire adjustments against the enemy positions. A graduate of Cenenniel High School in Portland, Corp oral Hancock entered the ser vice in July 1964. Children's Farm Home Teeners Have Outing Camping in the Cascades for three days near the end of August was this summer’s highlight for teenagers from the Children’s Farm Home near Corvallis. It was the first time many of these emotionally-disturbed young people have had a chance to go to camp. Thanks to the generosity of Presbyterian Church members throughout the Willamette Val ley who financed the outing, all 50 youth and 19 staff mem bers from the Farm Home had a camp vacation at the Presby terian-operated Santiam Lodge near the summit of Santiam Pass on Highway 20 west of Sisters. Fishing, swimming hiking, singing around the campfire, skits, stunts, games, contests— all the usual camping activities were planned. Even KP duty was rotated among the camp ers. The Farm Home, which is a private agency licensed by the state to care for troubled teen agers, relies on contributions from interested groups and in dividuals to carry on much of its program. About 50 percent of the Farm Home’s current operat ing budget comes from state tax funds, 30 percent from Ore gon United Appeal, and the re maining 20 percent from gifts and bequests Bears At The Fair To Be Held Here Thursday, Aug. 29 Albert Rix and his trained Polar bears will be among the star performers with the Polack Bros.
