Close Finish
The
State
Trasportation
Commission has proposed an
increase in state parks camp
ground fees effective with the
1974 camping season.

sion, campground fees in Ore
gon’s state parks will be in
creased from $1.00 to $1.25

$2.00 to $2.50 for improved
New Events
Planned For
Malheur Fair
Several new events are sche
duled for the 1973 Malheur
County Fair according to Gor
don Capps, Chairman of the
Fair Board. Capps said these
events were planned for greater
participation by the community.
Several events suitable for
handicapped children are being
planned as well as an exhibit
display under the direction of
Mrs. Kay Holliday. Capps sta
ted final plans will be made
in the next week or so.
A Dog Show, a first for the
Malheur County Fair, will be
held at 9 00 a.m.. on Saturikiy,
August 18. This show, will be
a Junior Show directed by Mr.
James Atherton of the Atherton
Kennels.
Youngsters,
ages
seven to fifteen, will be able to
compete with both small and
large dogs in either a Reg's-
tered or All Breeds class. Rib
bons will be awarded to fourth
place, with a Best-ln-Show
trophy to tie awarded the "Top
Dog."
Capps stated that Wetoesday
evening. August 15, will again
be open youth parth ipatlon night
with some bicycle events also
planned. There will also tie
competition among 4-11 Horse
Clubs under the direction of
Wayne
Anderson of Ontario
Heights and Mrs. Ila Sanderson

ter date.

campsites, and from $3.00 to
$4.00 for fully-equipped trai
ler sites.
The proposed fee increase is
expected to raise about $335 000
annually and will offset a chro
nic deficit In the state parks
operation and maintenance bud
get. The deficit for the 1972-
73 fiscal year was $388,000.
The new campground fee
schedule will also bring Ore
gon's camping fees In line with
comparable fees in state parks
in Washington and California.
The Commission believed
that the across-the-board fee
Increase imposed on all park
users was the most equitable
solution to balancing the parks
budget.
A public opinion survey con
ducted for the Highway Division
in 1972 by Richard L. Ken
nedy A Associates of Eugene
revealed that an overwhelming
majority of Oregonians--both
canqiers
and noncampers--
believed that users should bear
the costs of operating and main
taining state parkcampgrounds.
Kennedy interviewed439 per
sons representing across-sec-
tlon of Oregon families and an
additional 204 known campsite
users.
Both groups indicated strong
desires for the principle of self-
supporting campground facili
ties. Asked to choose between
state supported and camper
supported campgrounds, 73 per
cent ofthetypical population ad-
vocated campers as responsible
for operating costs. Surpris
ingly, more than 81 per cent
of the known campsite users
echoed this principle.
According to the results of
the January poll, no meaning
ful differences of opinion exist
between age groups, income
levels or family site.
State Parks superintendent,
David G. Talbot, explained that
the public opinion analysis was
commissioned to help the High
way Commission decide on an
appropriate solution to an exis
ting financial deficit in camp
ground operations.
