tive Wendell Wyatt by a Vernonia
high school history class.)
The Honorable Wendell Wyatt
1030 House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Mr. Wyatt:
I am writing this letter in behalf
of myself and my classmates in one
of the American History Classes of
Vernonia High School.
We have been following the crisis
in Vietnam with Interest, and we
would like to put a few questions to
you as we can not seem to find the
answers elsewhere. As future voters
of America, we think that we deserve
to have our questions answered.
First, has the crisis been so ser
ious that neither the President nor
anyone else in authority is willing to
make a definite statement as to the
position of the United States in the
Vietnam situation? We are beginning
to wonder whether our government
has a position.
Second, are the policy makers hop
ing that if nothing is said or print
ed, we will assume that there is a
policy without questioning?
The
White Paper just issued has a ring of
justification to it rather than a reas
onable or well-thought out policy in
our estimation.
Third, all we hear about on tele
vision or read in the papers is about
what the other countries are going
to do or what they have to say about
the events in Vietnam. We would like
to know what our President has to
say about the situation. After all, un
der our form of government the peo
ple should have the right to hear di
rectly from the President what the
United States is going to do, or at

The program is aimed at encourag
ing and promoting better manage
ment practices in the farm forestry
section of the forest industry. Awards
and recognition on a county level
will be given by the chamber of com
merce and the farm forestry commit
tee. The county award winner may
then compete with winners of other
counties for a state-wide award spon
sored by the Portland Chamber of
Commerce.
The farm forestry committee a-
wards a large rotating trophy for the
county winner and the chamber of
commerce is sponsoring an indivi
dual trophy.
Details of the program and candi
date’s application forms are being
mailed to many of the known wood
land owners in the county. Skeans
said they have also been provided
certain organizations such as granges
and farm bureau centers, hoping
these groups will sponsor an indivi
dual known to them or encourage
woodland owners to fill out and re
turn the applications.
Deadline for return of the applica
tion forms has been set for March 5,
Skeans said. Forest owners who have
not less than five acres and not
more than 5000 may compete in the
contest.
Application forms may also be se
cured from Don Coin Walrod, county
extension agent and forestry commit
tee secretary.

Here’s a phone designed to play a big role in business offices. Right in
this single instrument are all the conveniences of a telephone switchboard.
Six push buttons give you complete control over all incoming and out
going calls. You can select any of five lines—talk on one while holding
calls on others—“buzz” your secretary—or use the phone as an office inter
com. Lights in the buttons tell you which lines are busy, which are free.
Our “phone with the built-in switchboard” is another example of how
West Coast Telephone works to make the telephone a more convenient
and valuable instrument of communications for everyone.
Call or visit our Business Office and learn how little it costs to have the
“switchboard” service of a push-button phone.
