Yturri Appointment Praised
One of the best news items for Eastern Oregonians in a long
time was the announcement this week of the appointment of
Anthony Yturri of Ontario to the State Highway Commission by
Governor Tom McCall.
This is one of the important jobs in Oregon government,
and certainly one of the biggest. The State Highway Commission
by definition, “directs and controls the highway affairs of the
state, including the direction and control of the State Highway
Division, of which the Commission is a part and through which
it functions.”
Quoting from the Oregon Blue Book, the highways over which
the Commission exercises control comprise 4,825 miles of
highways in the State’s Primary System and 2,730 miles in the
State’s Secondary System. The Commission also exercises
limited control over 4,889 miles of county roads which are in
cluded in the Federal Aid Secondary Highway System and thereby
made eligible to receive Federal Aid in their improvement.
The Commission’s responsibility, through the State Highway
Division, also includes performance of work involved in acquir
ing, improving, maintaining and operating State Parks. They
have responsibility also for administration of the Scenic Wa
terways Act, Oregon Recreation Trails System, bicycle paths,
and jurisdiction over Pacific Ocean Shores. These are only
some of the duties, which gives us an idea of the complexity
of the job.
Oregon was the first state in the Union to establish a High
way Commission and take our highways out of politics. Since
then most states have adopted a plan similar to ours, but the
State of Oregon is still one of the leaders in highway con
struction and improvement. We recently led the nation in the
percentage of completion of the Federal Interstate System, and
anyone who has travelled to Portland lately knows that SON
is almost finished in Oregon.
Governor McCall appointed a man that we all know is up to
the task. Ex-Senator Yturri’s four terms in the State Senate,
and most of this time in a leadership role, equips him well for
this responsible position. His whole life in Eastern Oregon gives
him a background and knowledge of this vast region which few
men have.
We aren’t suggesting that because of Tony's appointment to
the board that all of our highways will immediately be taken
carb* Of. The board must act on all the highway problems of this
huge state, and population-wise we are only a small part of it,
if large in space.
We are suggesting that when consideration is given to the
highways of this region that we will be represented by a man
who has more knowledge of our part of the state than almost
any man. He has been interested in the Hells Canyon Scenic
Corridor, which includes Succor Creek, for many years and
has fought for its inclusion in the state system. He knows every
road and trail in Eastern Oregon, andwe can be assured of every
consideration when our area is discussed.
We applaud the governor’s appointment of Tony Yturri to the
Commission, and we can be assured that the State of Oregon’s
highway affairs will continue to be administered in a fair and
efficient manner with this state leader on the Commission.
SUPERINTENDENT'S CORNER
By W.L. McPartland
The AFS night will be held
Saturday evening at the Nyssa
High School Gym. This pro-
gram is planned to honor our
foreign
exchange
student,
Christian
Rodriquez
from
Bogota, Colombia, South Amer-
ica who is living with the Do-
rothy Wilson family. The pro-
ceeds will be used to help fi-
nace another foreign exchange
student.
The foreign exchange student
program is one of our finest
programs for our visitors to
see America as it really fun-
ctions and to get acquainted
with our people. The program
could be helped immensely if
the entire community, people
as families and individuals,
would get to know the students
--invite them to their homes
and really get acquainted,
This young man from a large
city has had a genuine Ameri-
can free enterprise experience.
He purchased two pigs for his
F.F.A. project, fed and cared
for them and then sold them,
Every young foreign exchange
person that comes to Nyssa
leaves with a picture of what
the U.S. stands for. He also
contributes to the community
by letting us know about his
country.
I think that each of
us needs to see what ways we
can help make Christian’s year
in Nyssa a memorable one.
