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

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
