Mrs. John Teeters • Jean Roberts Lyons _________________ ________________ Eva Bresslet Test For Multiple Use The French Pete controversy represents a clear conflict between those who advocate multiple use of the commercial timber areas of national forests and these who would preserve more such areas in a primitive state, along with alpine wilder ness. . The Oregonian investigated the issues raised in this dis pute and long ago came down on the side of the Forest Ser vice’s multiple use plan. It is gratifying that some strong voices in conservation are now being raised in support of the program. A committee adopting the title of French Pete for People hag organized under the chairmanship of Garnett E. Cannon, president of Standard Insurance, to uphold the Forest Service’s carefully drawn and much discussed plan for limited road ac cess, limited logging, preservation of scenic, botanical and ac- quatic values, camping and other recreational use of the 19,- 200-acre French Pete Creek drainage in Lane County. Mr. Can non’s credentials as an outdoorsman and wilderness backpacker can hardly be challenged. ...... ., Joining Mr. Cannon are Phillip W. Schneider, western re presentative of the National Wildlife Federation and former director of the Oregon Game Commission, and Fred Koehler, Eugene, president of the Oregon Wildlife Federation. The state federation, which is made up of a large number of out door clulis, has endorsed the Forest Service plan. On the other side, seeking a ban on all roadbuilding and logging in the French Pete drainage, are the Eugene-based Save French Pete Creek organization, the Sierra Club and some other groups and individuals. Sen. Bob Packwood plans to push a bill in Congress to establish the area for limited re creation but to ban logging. Other members of the Oregon delegation in Congress who do not favor wilderness status or alteration of the Forest Ser vice plan inform us that the Packwood bill will have little, if any, chance of acceptance in Congress. Of course, conservation has become a sacred cause in recent years and Sen. Packwood is riding that horse with enthusiasm. Both the Cannon ommittee and the Wildlife Federation found that the Forest Service has followed sound administrative procedures in perfecting a plan for multiple use of a high grade Douglas fir forest. We concur in this judgment and hope that the politically sensitive. Department, of Agriculture will not permit itself to be stamped by emotional pressure groups. The program should be carried out without further delay.—The Portland Oregonian. It's Your Law Respect for Law Makes Democracy Live A contract is an agreement, usually between two parties, where each agrees to do some thing for the benefit of the other. For example, Jones De partment Store agrees to sell Smith a TV set for $500. Smith will get the TV set and the department store will get the $500. Sometimes a contract aims to benefit a person who is not a party to it. This is called a “third paily beneficiary” con tract. Here are some examples. An insurance c:mpany is sues its policy to the Enter prise Department Store, agree ing to pay for any injuries suffered by the store’s cus tomers, provided this injury was caused by the store’s neg ligence. Smith is hurt in the store and recovers e judgment for his injuries. If the store does net pay the judgment, Smith as a third party bene ficiary is entitled to have his judgment paid by the insur ance company. X sells his business to Y, who agrees to pay, as part of the purchase price, all of X’s business creditors. These cred- ditors can sue and recover from Y if he does not pay them. There are g:od reasons for permitting third party bene ficiaries to sue on contracts made for their benefit. Unless they could sue directly in many cases the benefits they are entitled to would be lost or only obtained after involv ed legal proceedings. This is an example of how the law seeks better to serve the peo ple. (Oregon lawyers offer this column as a public service. No person should apply or inter pret any law without the aid oi an attorney who is complete ly advised of the facts involv ed. Even a slight variance in fact may change the applica tion of the law.)

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION How can education meet the ever-changing occupational challenges today and in the years ahead? Far too frequently, a general high school diploma is a ticket only to an unskilled job. Vnlcss significant changes in the structure of vocational education are made, society may- see large numbers of young people unprepared to contribute. Society, through its concern for the unemployed, has plac ed a high value on employability. Educators must be willing to respond positively to present day job skill requirements. Vocational education is absolutely essential to our con tinual growth. It is not and never has been the exclusive juris diction of the formal education system. V. S. industry's in- plant and on-the-job training programs suggest that there are workable alternatives to our inadequate public vocational education system. Business and Industry must assume the leadership role in "work education." If we are to have a sufficient number of adequately trained workers, instead of hard-core unemployed, then technical skills must be nurtured by educators, parents, and members of Industry. Through this combined effort we can develop the skilh necessary to keep America growing! One of the an electric water heater is what it doesn’t have! An electric water heater is flameless. So it doesn’t need a flue to carry off fumes and odors. That means you can put your electric water heater most anywhere you want it. Put it in an out-of-the-way corner. Hide it in a closet. Some models even tuck under counters. Just put it away and forget it. A modern electric water heater gives you all the hot water you want. Efficiently. And economically. Because you put the heat right in the water instead of heating the outside of the tank to warm the water. Sometimes it pays to look at what you don’t get! Why wait? Call Pacific Power or your electric water heater dealer now —before your old water heater gives you the cold shoulder. Pacific Power
