u u cj v & . Page 2 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, November 2, 1950 EDITORIAL NEWSPAPER VV PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION Vote 317 X No! Voters' of Oregon are confronted with the ne cessity of making decisions on several initiative and referendum measures next Tuesday and one of them, "Making Sale of Promotively Advertised Alcoholic Beverages Unlawful," is creating no small amount of doubt as to the real objective in the minds of the sponsors. Newspaper editors, as well as all other adver tising media publishers mentioned in the bill, are somewhat exercised over the attack against ad vertising as an educational force as well as a source of much needed revenue. There is, in that respect, a principle involved which all who de pend on advertising as a source of income feel obliged to defend. Following the exit of prohibition from the stat utes, Oregon adopted the Knox liquor control bill which has become recognized as one of the best' laws yet devised for handling the liquor problem on a state level. The liquor control commission is vested with the authority to delete certain mat. ter in liquor advertising that in the commission's judgment are contrary to the spirit of the Knox law. This usually means that the ads are not published in Oregon. So far, so good. Do the people of the state of Oregon have the right to dictate to the people of the remaining 47 states what they shall read in their advertisements? That, in effect, is what the initiative bill will be attempting it it carries. What is to prevent some crank from starting a movement to ban certain foods, or ojothing, or automobiles anything, in fact, that a crank may think up from being advertised on a "promotive" basis? Sounds silly, but many silly things de velop into trends if given enough support. The initiative measure looks like an awkward attempt of the temperance forces to bring about the return of prohibition. If passed it will only bring back the headaches attendant upon at tempted enforcement of dry laws and will not keep people from acquiring liquor. People living near the state's borders will not only acquire their favorite brands of liquor but more than likely will hav eto get their favorite magazines and period icals from neighboring states. The best way to avert a lot of local upheavals in this time of world crises is to mark your ballot 317 X No. The Movement Grows Through the enterprise of the Soroptimist Club of Heppner, Hallowe'en depredations have all but vanished from Heppner. Through sponsorship of the club, not only parents and friends have joined 30 Years Ago .. . Thursday, November 4, 1920 .... The November 2 election found Morrow county voters going to the polls in heavy numbers. Pro bably the highest percentage in the history of the county was reached when 1732 out of 2100 registered voters in the county cast their ballots Tuesday.

That the Hallowe'en party is established is seen in the increase in attendance. The first year found less than 100 in attendance, last year the number grew to 125 and this year it was 250. Started primarily to give young people of the jun ior and senior high school ages something to do rather than get into mischief in town, the party has served to attract recent high school graduates and others of that age group. Since business houses benefit largely by the absence of Hallowe'en depredations it would be a nice gesture for them to underwrite the expenses, or at least make up any deficit the Soroptimist club may incur. Support The "Balanced Plan" The bill for reapportionment of the state legis lature is the first attempt since 1931 to effect a change in our legislative set-up. Since that time Oregon has experienced a heavy increase in popu lation. If the measure is defeated, and it will be unless solid majorities are rolled up in the lighter populated counties, the opportunity for equitable distribution of legislative power will be lost. Opponents of the measure have been using tactics that serve only to confuse the voters, but the four basic points of the "Balanced Plan" should be kept in mind when we go to the polls next Tuesday. These points are, (1) Limits any county to one-fourth of the legislature. (2) Gives the voter in every county a representative to call his own. (3) Requires a senator to represent no more than three counties. (4) Provides for regu lar and fair apportionment. Don't be misled. Vote 314 X Yes. Morrow county voters have every reason to express confidence in the two representatives from the 22nd legislative district. In Henry Peterson and Giles French we have two men who not only work for the best interests of their district but who work and vote for those things which they be. lieve to be to the best interests of the state at large. It requires courage and the strength of one's convictions to stand up against class priv ilege propaganda but our representatives have proved to their own satisfaction and to the satis faction of many of their constituents that they are following the right course. If you approve of this type of legislation, give both men the best compli ment you can offer them by casting your ballot in their favor. on Sunday, October 24.

People With no thanks to the weather man a record crowd attended the nnual Halowe'en party for the 7th and 8th graders and the high schoolers, sponsored by the Soro ptimist club of Heppner. At the beginning of festivities 250 ener getic youngsters were loaded in to the hay filled trucks and were whisked away to the Winches ters' lower cabin. Jack o' lanterns glowed in the mountain dark ness, two large bonfires provided light and the necessary means for roasting the traditional hot dogs and marshmallows. The en. tire group enjoyed singing led by Irene Wilson and Don Heliker accompaied by Harold Becket. A drawing was held and Jean Privett walked away with the prize. The merriment was over shadowed by a sprinkle of rain but despite the crispness in the air, a good time was had by all. Those furnishing trucks were Orville Cutsforth, Don Heliker, Paul Brown and the Clifford Dou gherty vehicle driven by Oscar George. The public address sys tem operated by Dick Wightman was furnished by the county ag ent's office. Chaperones for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. John Saager, j Mr. and Mrs. Harold Becket, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wilson, Mr. and Mrs Paul Brown, Mrs. Rufus Pi per, Robert Dobbs, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Wightman, Mr. and Mrs. Knight and Mrs. Fay Bucknum, the Cutsforths, Helikers and Os car George and the hosts for the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Winchester. o Mr. and Mrs. J.

If you have been a regular voter and if you have planned to vote on Novem ber 7, don't waste your time by reading any further. And now with all dutiful citi zens turned elsewhere in this newspaper, let me address the slackers: Upon you depends the preser vation of representative govern ment and our Capitalistic Sys tem. The trend which started several years. ago with fewer and fewer people voting on Election Day, is alarming. Representative government can be perpetuated and individual freedom and re sponsibility preserved only when the majority of the people speak. In the Presidential election of 1948, less than half of the eligible voters in the United States went to the polls. If you and the others who have shunned the polling booths do not soon begin to exercise your right to vote, the rule of the ma jority will become the rule of the few. This not only applies in our national government but is equally true in our states and municipalities. Just take a look around the world and see what has happen ed in other countries where the citizen became careless of his re sponsibilities. What would those poor people not give now to have restored to them the things which they so carelessly threw away? If you do not wish a similar sad fate to overtake America, then vote on the 7th of November and every election thereafter. But, do I hear you say, "What good will my one little vote do?" That vote of yours is not a little vote, it is a powerful one. The value of one vote has many times VALBY LUTHERAN CHURCH Rev. Hubert Hanson of Vancou ver, Wash., will hold services at 11 a. m. Sunday, November 5 at the Valby Lutheran church in VERNON BULL is a member of pioneer family, prominent throughout Eastern Oregon for many yean, He was reared on a farm and with Mrs. Bull homesteaded their own 518 acre ranch in Union County. He Is now a railroad man by profession. For 14 YEARS VERNON BULL has represented his own county in the Ore gon legislature. After having been elected six times by his neighbors in Union County, he was promoted in 1948 to the State Senate by the voters of Union and Wallowa counties by a large majority over the strong Repub lican incumbent. The farmers and townfolks of his home communities, where he is known best, have learned that VERNON BULL delivers for his people. VERNON BULL is an even-tem pered, unpretentious man. His dogged determination and deep conviction have made him a successful fighter for the right. VERNON BULL 'wears well.' His repeated re-election by the people who know him best is the finest recommendation he has to be elected to Congress. INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE FOR VERNON BULL FOR CONGRESS Tom Duch-man, Imhier, Chairman K, I. Rinka, The Dallfi. Secretary r "siri i sn i ONE VOTE proven to mean the election or defeat of a particular candidate; has meant the passing or defeat of an important piece of legisla. tion. For example: Thomas Jefferson was elected President of the United States by one vote in the Electoral College. John Quincy Adams got to be Chief Executive because of one vote. Rutherford B. Hayes made the White House by one vote. His election was contested and refer red to an Electoral Commission. Again his margin of victory was just one vote. The States of California, Idaho, Oregon, Texas and Washington were taken into the Union by vir. tue of a single vote. Yes, indeed, your vote is im portant. Remember: Bad officials are elected by the good citizens who do not take the trouble to vote; that voting is your assurance of freedom; that your very future depends upon your vote on Election Day. And please don't trot out that old bromide to the effect that you don't know the candidates and the issues; that, anyway, all poli ticians are the same no matter what political tags they wear. There is a difference between candidates. You can get to know them and you can study the is sues. Hopefully, of course, I'm as suming that you have eyes and ears that you can see and hear. Then put those organs to work. Attend political meetings, not just Democratic meetings or Re. publican meetings, but both. Give all the candidates a radio audi tion you'll find them cluttering up the air waves. Then use the good judgment with which Al mighty God has endowed you to select your candidates. And whatever your choice, do your job exercise the power of that one ballot vote on Nov. 7. Gooseberry. Potluck dinner will be served at the parish house after the services. Rev.
