I8?9 MEMBER___________ Oregon Newspaper I Publishers Association I SI BSC RIPTION RATES Malheur County, Oregon. and Payette and Canvon Counties. Idaho; NATIONAL NEWSPAPER $ 6.00 Sil 00 Environmentalists Win Again The environmentalists have won again! This time they have succeeded in closing the sawmill at McCall, one of Boise-Cascade's most efficient operations. This means a loss of jobs for 148 workers in the mill, plus many more loggers, truck drivers and allied workers. Can you imagine the impact that this will have on a small city of 1700 population? Schools, businesses, and the economic stability of the town are at stake. What seems even more serious to us is that efficient management of our forests on a knowledgable. scientific basis has to give way to a shortrange, emotional approach by the Sierra Clubbers and others. It’s nice to look at the pine trees now. but it seems to us that a long-range planned harvesting and reforestration program makes more sense over the long haul; and that is exactly what the Forest Service. Boise-Cascade. Georgia-Pacific. Weyer- hauser and others have been doing. We think that the opportunities afforded by good forest management are more important in the long run to our children and their children, and generations beyond that; and should take priority over the immediate desires of these people who like to take hikes and commune with nature. They apparently would prefer to see the forests destroyed by lightning, bugs, and their man-made forest fires; rather than systematic cutting and regrowing of trees for the generations to come. Who will provide the jobs, the lumber, and the recreation for the generations coming up? Most of us who are here now will survive, but our children will need the benefits of the lumber industry, our largest part of the economy of the Pacific Northwest states. We think that the U. S. Forest Service, and the various State's Forest Services, have done a reasonably good job ot managing our forest lands for the multiple uses of lumbering, agriculture and recreation. , We also think that our timber industry is doing a responsible job in providing lumber, jobs, and the needs of future generations. This would seem a good area to let the professionals do their job without our interference. Right now they are getting too much interference, and we arr going to suffer for it. "The objective of the seminar was to further train co-op employees for agri department management." Jim Morrison. Cenex Super visor Agri Products Training explained. The three day seminar included instruction from Cenex personnel in eco nomics and financial plan ning. formulating for pres cription-mix, safety and housekeeping and sales train« ing. "The specialized seminar should provide local co-ops served by Cenex with the added expertise to offer improved services to cus tomer-owners,” Morrison added. Cenex is the leading agri cultural supply cooperative in the eleven states.) serves and supplies more than 1200 locally-owned cooperatives with a wide range of farm and home products and provides a variety of manage ment and technical services.

The Sunday game of the tournament was scheduled for Bend to play Nyssa, however, due to a down pour the evening before in Ontar io, the game was moved to Adrian. May 1 convey the Bend teams highest regard and respect for your fine nine ball players and quality of play. As one of our ball players said, "If trophies mean winners, they should have nine." After the game, we met Mr. Kevin Engstrom who was gracious enough on Sunday, to open the city pool in order we could shower and give the boys a quick swim. From there, we invaded the Twilight Cafe 4 Lounge with forty strong and enjoyed the meal as well as the very friendly service. So often it is easy to forget to say "thanks". We certain ly don't intend to this time. You have a fine town, a fine team and the spirit of both. Thank you again. Nyssa, for your generous hospitality. Most sincerely, Mr. 4 Mrs. Hugh McNair.
