"Tired American"
. . . Gets Angry
I am a 'T IR E D A M E R IC A N ."
I ’ m tired of being railed the "U g ly A m erican ."
I ’ m tired of having the world panhandlers use my country as
a whipping boy 365 days a year.
I am a "T IR E D A M E R IC A N "— weary of having American
embassies and Information centers stoned, burned and sacked
by mobs operating under orders from dictators who preach
"p ea ce" and breed conflict.
I am a 'T IR E D A M ER IC AN” — weary of being lectured by
G eneral DeGaulle (who never won a battle) who poses as a second
Jehovah In righteousness and wisdom.
I am a 'T IR E D AM ERICAN” . . . weary of Nasser and all
the other blood sucking leeches wno bleed Uncle Sam white and
who kick him on the shins and yank his beard If the cash flow
falters.
I am a • T IR E D A M E R IC A N " . . . choked up to here on this
business of trying to Intimidate our government by placard,
picket line and sit In by the hordes of the dirty unwashed who
rush to man the barricades against the forces of law , order and
decency.
I am a "T IR E D A M E R IC A N " . . .w e ary of the beatniks who
say they should have the right to determine what laws of the land
they are willing to obev.
I am a «T IR E D AM E R IC A N " . . . fed up with mobs of scabby
faced, long-haired youths and short-haired g irls who claim they
represent the "new wave" of Am erica and who sneer at the old
fashioned virtues of honesty, Integrity, m orality on which Am erica
grew to greatness.
I am a ‘ T IR E D A M E R IC A N " . ..w e a r y unto death of having
my tax dollars go to dictators who play both sides against the
middle with threats of what w ill happen If we cut off the golden
stream of dollars.
I am a "T IR E D A M ER IC A N " . . . nauseated by the laxy do-
nothings who wouldn’t take a Job If you drove them to and from
work in a Rolls Royce.
I am a ‘ T IR E D A M E R IC A N " who Is tired of supporting
fam ilies who haven’t known any other source of Income other
than government re lie f checks for three generations.
I am a “ TIR E D A M ER IC AN” who Is getting madder by
the minute at the filth peddlers who have launched Am erica In an
obscenity race . . . who try to foist on us the belief that filth Is
an Integral part of culture . . . in the arts, the movies, “ lite ra
tu re ," the stage and the mobs who see Lenny Bruce as "brightly
amusing’ ’ and Normal M ille r as “ com pelling."
I ’ m tired of these “ a rtis ts " who scavenge In the cess pools
fo r Inspiration and who refuse to look up at the stars.
I am a "T IR E D AM ERICAN*’ . . . weary of the bearded bums
who tram p the picket lines . . . and the sit Ins . . . who prefer
Chinese communism to capitalism . . . who see no evil In Castro
but sneer at President Johnson as a "th rea t to peace."
I am a "T IR E D A M ER IC AN” who has lost all patience with
that c iv il rights group which Is showing propaganda movies on
college campuses from coast to coast. Movies denouncing the
United States. Movies made In Communist China.
I am a " T IR E D A M E R IC A N " who is angered by the self-
righteous “ breast b eater" c ritic s of A m erica, at home and
abroad, who set impossible yardsticks fo r the United States
but never apply the same standards to the French, the B ritish,
the Russians, the Chinese.
I am a "T IR E D A M E R IC A N " who resents the pimply faced
beatniks who try to represent Am ericans as the "bad guys on
the black horses."
I am a "T IR E D A M E R IC A N " who Is weary of some Negro
leaders who, for shock purposes, scream fo u r-le tte r words In
church meetings.
I am a ‘ T IR E D A M ER IC A N " — sickened by the slack-jawed
bigots who wrap themselves in bedsheets In the dead of night
and roam the countryside looking for Innocent victim s.
I am a "T IR E D AM ERICAN* who dislikes clergymen who
have made a career out of Integration causes yet send th eir own
children to private schools.
I am a "T IR E D A M E R IC A N " who resents those who try to
peddle the belief In schools and colleges that capitalism is a dirty
word and that free enterprise and private Initiative are only
synonyms for greed.
They say they hate capitalism but they are always right at the
head of the line demanding th eir share of the American way of
life.
I am a “ T IR E D A M E R IC A N " who gets more than a little bit
weary of the clique In our State Department who choose to regard
a policy of tim idity as prudent. . . the same group who subscribe
to a "no w in " policy In Vietnam .
I am a "T IR E D AM ER IC AN” . . . real tired of those who are
trying to sell me the belief that Am erica Is not the greatest
nation in all the w o r ld .. . a generous hearted nation . . . a nation
dedicated to the policy of trying to help the “ have nots" achieve
some of the good things that our system of free enterprise
brought about.
I am an American who gets a lump In h is throat when he
hears the “ Star Spangled Banner" and who holds back the tears
when he hears those chilling high notes of the brassy trumpets
when Old Glory reaches the top of the flag pole.
I am a “ T IR E D A M E R IC A N " ...w h o wants to start snapping
at those phony "high p rie s ts ” who want us to bow down and
worship th eir false Idols and who seek to destroy the belief that
A m erica Is the land of the free and the home of the brave.
I am a "T IR E D AM ER IC AN” who thanks a m erciful Lord
that he was so lucky to be born an American citizen . . . a nation
. . . under God . . . with truly mercy and justice . . . for all.

Your paper is a credit to the
area and the people you serve.
I would also like to say that
your paper has helped to make
me understand what I and others
are in Vietnam for. Thank you
and keep up the good work.

TO THE EDITOR
The first of the season's drag
races Sunday d r e w a .ecord
crowd of spectators and contest
ants. And I mean it was a crowd.
Every bit as big as at the lest
Fourth of July celebration in die
old town. There were cars and
people everyw here.. . and the
roar of powerful engines and the
scream of tires. . . from about"S
a. m. to 4 p. m.
It was a top day for the event,
too, weather-wise that is. For me
it was something else. Being a
member of the local sheriff’s
reserve I had the dubious priv
ilege of helping with the unit's
chow concession. That in itself
wasn't too bad.. . duty and all
that, ya know .. . for the good of
the service. Only thing was I had
worked til about 2:30 a. m .,
which didn't let me get to sleep
until about 4 a. m ., then had to
get up at 7 a. m. This is enough
to shake the best of men. But it
was necessary became 1 had to
get all the goodies out to the
drag strip and help set up to feed
the hungry people.
Knowing beforehand that I
would be short on sleep and
somewhat foggy I m a d e sure-
everything w asreadytogo Sun
day a.m ., even borrowing little
brother's pickup to h a u l the
chow in and arranging for re
serve Roy Price to ca ll me at 7
. . . just to make sure.
W ell,he c a lle d .. . and I strug
gled fr m the warm downy and
into my new uniform and set
out for brothers to get the truck
. . . loaded it with supplies and
headed for the airport.. .racking
the g r e y matter to be sure I
hadn't forgotten a n y t h i n g . I
crossed the Elk River bridge and
started up the hill, convinced
that I hadn't forgotten one single
item. And this made me very
happy. . . coosideringm y sleepy
condition which made it more
than usually difficult to think.
I w 'S even whistling as I
clim be
the top of Elk River
h ill. That is until the dum pick
up coughed a c o u p l e times,
snorted once, and then cam e to
a com plete and final stop.. . just
as I managed to rally enough to
pull almost off the highway. I
guess you know when I realized
that little brother had forgotten
to put gas in the rig I was plumb
ready to turn things every way
but lo o se .. . m ainly him . Imean,
there I was at 8 a .m . with a
pickup loaded with 1, 000 hot
dogs and buns, 8 tanks of pop,
candy, cigarettes and various
other supplies.. . and no power.
I got out and stormed up and
down the highway in, to say the
very least, a high state of frus
trated agitation. In fact, I was so
disturbed I tore off the top of a
box of footlong hotdogs and con
sumed three of them right on the
sp ot.. . not because I thought it
would serve anybody right.. . I
hadn't had breakfastyet.Finally
a car going south stopped and
offered to ca ll the bride and have
her fetch m e some gas. Because
she's as hard to wake up as I am
I figured on a long w a it.. . and
a mad crew waiting at the strip
for their big Lt. to show.
However, about the tim e it
took the motorist to get to town
and call the bride reserve m em
ber Larry Quillen cam e by. When
he got through laughing he a -
greedto go back to Nicholson's
store and fetch me some petrol
. . . and call the bride, with the
good news that she wouldn't
have to get u p.. . only she a l
ready had and was just ready to
leave the h ouse.. . which didn't
help m y case any, either.
Larry brought the gas back
and we made it to the strip, late
but sa fe .. . with a mob of people
wanting hot coffee and dogs, at
that tim e of the morning yet.
From then on it was one mad
rush without a break.. . until we
ran out of hotdogs about 1 :3 0 ...
at least we thought we had. Re

Anglers Punch Cards
Need to Be Returned
Society Seeks To
Help Crippled
Oregon anglers are reminded
that the deadline for returning
the 1965 salm on-steelhead lic
ense, commonly c a l l e d the
punch card, is fast approaching.
Many punch cards are still in
the hands of individuals. If you
have yours, the game com m is
sion requests that you dig down
in your w allet and return the
card im m ediately to the com
mission's Portland headquarters,
1634 S.W. Alder. All license a -
gencies have collection boxes
for the convenience of the fish
ermen, who m ay deposit the
punch cards there if they so de
sire.
Returned punch cards provide
the basis for calculating the
total catch of salmon and steel
head in all open waters of the
state. Analysis of the cards will
¿egin shortly after May 1. It is
urgent that anglers return all
punch cards so an accurate ap
praisal of the fishery can be
made.

Oregon's forests have long
been recognized as the source
of raw m aterials which sustain
our number one economic acti
vity. Beyond this, the forests
serve as highly valuable water
sheds, provide habitat for fish,
game and other wildlife and do
mestic animals, and are In
spiring centers of recreational
and scenic enjoyment.
The u tility and beauty of our
woodlands, landscaping, plant
ing and t<eautlflcatlon of man’s
developments, the joys to 1*
found In home and public gar
dens, all underscore the mean
ing and Importance of Arl>or
Day, which w ill be observed
throughout Oregon, Friday, Ap
ril 29.
State law calls upon school*
authorities In each district to
hold such exercises as w ill en
courage the planting, protec
tion and preservation of trees
and shrubs. In addition toevents
In schools, garden clubs, con
servation groups, an d many
other public and private organi
zations annually observe Arbor
Day with special programs. It
Is fitting to note that one of
Oregon's principal showcases,
the State Capitol grounds, are
this year attaining new neuuty
wtth the completion of new land
scaping of Willson Park.
On Arbor Day, A pril 29,1966,
I urge each citizen to appro
priately recognize the treasure
of our forests, our natural aid
planted landscapes. May we ob
serve Arbor Day not only with
appropriate c e r e m o n i e s in
schools and elsewhere, but may
this occasion also rededicate
ourselves to prevention of fo r
est fire s , to added appreciation
of the value of our green acres,
to proper conservation of all
natural resources, throughout
this year and all the years to
come.

sends m e your wonderful paper

I would like to commend you
and your staff on the fine qual

paper.
I find it a relief to read a

. . . along with buns. He returned
and we were hack In business.. .
andswamped again. It was a lit
tle t o o hectic to remember
things exactly but I know we
thought we ran out of footlongs
so we sold two short dogs In a
long bun. Then we ran out of
long b u n s... and s o m e b o d y
found a new box of footlongs
under a shelf which we had to
sell in short buns.. . and then we
plain ran out of everything.
It was a day to rem em ber.. .
•t least by Price, who put to
gether all 1, 208 hotdogs, and
Larry, who warmedhuns and pe
trolled the grounds with Carlos
White, and Dennb Sonderman,
who stuffed the dogs In those
sacks that seemed just a wee bit
too small to hold them, and to
Mrs. Quillen and I, who waited
on die hundreds of starving cus
tomers. Oh yea 11 I guess there
were some good ifragraces, too.
Want to congratulate Red Mc
W illiams on opening his new
Insurance O ffice.. . next to Or

as die local Farmers Agent. You
con recognize the office by the
new paint job and the green and

Guess ol' Garrison Lake w ill
get its annual workout this week
. . . what with 7,000 fresh plant

You hear about things like

but you never expect to have It
happen at home. But last Fri

Ronald Roberts of Sixes and left
her a bouncing baby g ir l.. . as
she was being transferred from
the family car to the city am

clin ic. Ambulance driver Jim
Peterson said he w a s called
shortly after 3 a. m . to pick up
Mrs. Roberts, parked with her
husband at a service station,
im mediately because she was
just about to give birth. By the
tim e be arrived they were w ait

office, along with Dr. Boots. As
the doctor, Peterson, officer Bob
Bosserman and Mr.Roberts were
