Editor, The Journal:
After a Mother’s Day outing
to Owyhee Dam State Park we
were thoroughly disgusted and
disappointed in the dry, neg
lected condition of the park area.
Much time and money has been
spent in the past ten years to
make this area a place of beauty,
and a place for the local people
to be proud of. Finding it in such
a condition took all the joy out
of our outing. The grass on the
upper camping area was so dry
that the children could not play
on it without getting stickers in
their feet. The whole park
looked as if it had not been
irrigated or mowed at all this
year. We do not believe this to
to be because of the lack of
water, as there is plenty of
water in the lake.
The park and camping area
is a disgrace to the local people
We got acquainted with some
people from the Oregon coast
who had visited this park four
years ago and thought it to be
such a beautiful spot in this
desert region. They returned
this year bringing friends with
them to enjoy the good fishing
and nice camping area. They
could not believe that this was
the same park they had left
four years ago. The trash cans
were full and overflowing onto
the grass? area. It certainly
was not a place of beauty to
bring people across the State to
see, nor did we think it a place
of beauty to drive up from
Adrian to see. In the past two
years the park has been getting
steadily worse. We think now is
the time that something should
be done, before we have nopark
left.

Dear Blue Cross:
My son’s unexpected hospitalization
in Nevada involved only several
hundred dollars. But when I called
your office, the lady I talked to
treated it as if it were $20 million.
She unscrambled my confusion, and
even called back to see if every
thing was satisfactory. She deserves
hearty congratulations.
In today's busy world, personal
concern and service are seen so
seldom that I felt we had to say
thank you.
