Salem Scene

OREGON PROMINENT IN
ELECTION YEAR SUSPENSE
It's anelection year, all right,
and nowhere is it more obvious
than in the excitement and spec
ulation marking Salem ac
tivities this week.
The rush for candidacy filings
occurred at the Capitol Hi 1 Id mg
on Tuesday <M*rch 19). With
head-on races for each legisla
tive seat new a campaign reality
and challenge, suspense builds
as many candidates bold off
until most filing decisions are
known before cemmiting them
selves to what they believe will
be their best races or posi
tions.
But even as state and local
contests are firming up, there
is increasing talk here about
the next important date in Ore
gon politics. That also is this
week, March 22, and it is the
last day when persons listed
as Presidential and Vice Presi
dential candidates in Oregon’s
Preferential Primary election
may file to remove their names
from the ballots.
Speculation increasingly is
building up our state as a cru
cial one in this year’s American
exercise of choosing a Presi
dent. The Oregon primary,
some say, will accurately tab
the two parties’ nominees and
may well prove decisive in who
will occupy the White House for
the next four years.
Certainly national eyes have
been turning toward Oregon’s
early primary election and its

is the theme for National Wild
life Week, March 17-23. And
the Bureau of Land Manage
ment (BLM) suggests some
ways to do it.
Archie D. Craft, BLM state
director, said. “As managers
of 16 million acres of public
land m Oregon and Washing
ton, we in the Bureau of land
Management are keenly aware
of the need for nature and man
to live in harmony. We are
glad to cooperate with the Na
tional Wildlife Federation and
other agencies in giving special
emptiasis to conservation ed
ucation during W ildlife Week.”
Craft said that ways to
“learn to live with nature”
include: 1. Outdoor schools and
conservation tours for sixth
graders, 2. Integration of na
tural resource study through
out school curricula, 3. Parti
cipation in Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, and similar youth or
ganizations, 4. Enrollment in
adult education classes related
to natural resources, 5. Par
ticipation in hobby clubs, gar
den clubs, natural science so
cieties, and other groups inter
ested in nature, 6. Touring,
hunting, fishing, rock hounding,
hiking, camping, and other out
door activities, 7. Ranching,
logging, farming, and similar
occupations, and 8. Reading
about nature and natural re
source management.
“But just learning about na
ture and enjoying the outdoors
isn’t enough,” cautioned Craft.
requirement for commitment,
during the fast-breaking events
of the last month. Network
television, wire services and
national syndicate reporters
are planning extensive coverage
of the Oregon primary if events
firm up the way many now are
predicting.
Significant among the last
month’s events was Michigan
Gov. George Romney’s with
drawal from the Republican
race, leaving the way open for
New York Gov. Nelson Rocke-
feller to challenge Richard
Nixon for the Presidential
nomination on that ticket.
This he can do now merely
by neglecting to file an affi
davit of non-candidacy in Ore-
gcm. Both Rockefeller and Nixon
were announced for the primary
ballot earlier this month by
Secretary of State Clay Myers,
as were California Gov. Ronald
Reagan and Illinois Sen. Charles
Percy, Republicans.
On the Democratic ticket,
voters will choose among

“We must actively protect our
natural resource heritage for
future generations,” he said.
“Timber and livestock op
erators cooperate with the
Bureau in resource conserva
tion efforts," Craft said, “but
vandals and litterbugs destroy
public property and spoil the
landscape.” He added, “Every
citizen can help protect na
tural resources by example, by
training youngsters to appre
ciate nature, and by reporting
infractions to proper author
ities."
“Living with nature some
times involves helping wildlife
live with man,” Craft said.
BLM cooperates with the Ore
gon Game and Fish Commis
sions by providing suitable
wildlife habitat, he explained.
Measures include food and
cover plantings, watering
places for birds and animals,
fencing to protect wildlife food
and water, installation of water-
fowl nesting sites, streams
clearance to aid migranting
fish. Timber harvest improves
food supplies for elk, deer,
bear, grouse, and other wild
life in western Oregon. In east
ern Oregon, BLM manages the
habitat on 31 pronghorn antelope
ranges and 30 mule deer win
ter ranges. Most big game
ranges have benefitted by mild
winter weather, and rainfall has
been sufficient for adequate
grass and shrub growth this
summer, BLM officials report.
Craft said that on March 5
