Too Big for the Highway Department
Friday’s tragedy that cost the lives of two men when
a bridge across the Owyhee river collapsed brought a
coroner’s jury verdict, “We do not find any criminal
negligence on the part of any specific person.” Such a
verdict most certainly does not absolve the state high­
way department, or even the citizens of Oregon, for some
irlame for a system that has been allowed to grow for
several years.
■ Crews working on the bridge cannot be blamed in any
way whatsoever for their workmanship nor for any part
in allowing the flimsy structure to remain standing for
seven months. There is no excuse for the highway de­
partment’s dilly-dallying for more than half a year be­
fore starting to rebuild the bridge. Lack of highway
funds, moreover, cannot be used as an excuse.
. The Union Pacific railroad, which lost several hundred
yards of embankment in the same flood last April, com­
pleted repairs in a matter of days to permit normal move­
ment of trains over its branch line to Homedale. During
the same period the state highway to Adrian was com­
pletely closed while the highway officials pondered the
question of repairs or replacement, keeping their plans,
if any, a deep, dark secret. Later in the summer make­
shift “repairs” were made by bracing the sagging struc­
ture with steel girders to allow one-way traffic over
the bridge.
From there on out, the public was kept in the dark
about plans for the bridge. It was assumed that a new
bridge was to be built when an earth-fill crossing was
constructed a few hundred feet up the river and traffic
detoured for a short distance. The public would have
been far more tolerant had it been informed about the
cause for the delay.
The Nov. 4 election was just as much of a mandate to
government agencies like Oregon’s highway department
as it was to national bureaus that the American public
is somewhat tired of small groups of public officials at­
tempting to compete with private business at additional
costs to the taxpayers and inefficiencies in their methods
of operation.
The state highway department attempted and failed
to master-mind a job too big for it.
Had this department hired a private contractor to work
with its own crews, as did the Union Pacific railroad and
as is done by many other states, a new bridge probably
would have been completed months ago and possibly two
lives would have been spared.
Attend Church Somewhere
“Attend Church Somewhere” is the theme of county­
wide efforts of the Malheur county Ministerial association
and th«j county Parent-Teachers association to arouse
general interest in the house of worship. Next Sunday
has been designated as a special day for everyone to at­
tend the church of his choice and it is only fitting and
proper that the efforts of these two groups are met with
wholehearted response.
In spite of reports to the contrary, we believe the
American public is closer to God than at any time in past
if*
history. Many are neglectful about regular church atten­
dance, but a new wave of soul-searching is sweeping the
nation and could be the result of fear of imminent de­
struction by bombs, our acknowledged failure to fulfill
obligations to which we know we are committed or a
new and rejuvinated effort on the part of the church to
attract people from all walks of life.
In any event, we should all help fill Nyssa’s churches
to overflowing Sunday—it is possible that you will find
something has been missed on previous sabaths and there
will be a new incentive to attend on following Sundays.
Clyde Snider, Nyssa attorney, explains his reasons for
attending church in the following statement
"I attend church services to give my soul a lift. My
spiritual life needs communion with my concept of God.
‘In God we trust’ means little unless we keep in touch
with God. Going to church is a spiritual quest to make
this trust a reality. I find in church strength for spirit,
and serenity, and the will to move in the right direction.”
