A Poem to the Editor This column normally looks with disdain upon t he poetic contributions it occasionally receives from readers, but we received one the other day, in the form of a letter to the editor, which we thought our readers might appreciate. The writer, a pioneer Heppnerite 80 years young, is Spencer Akers, now a resident of Aums villc, Oregon who obviously is an avid watcher from the political sidelines. Whether you agree with his thoughts and observations or not, we think you'll enjoy reading his poetic sizing up of the recent election campaign. The political show upon the screen, Was the wildest one I've ever seen. The wild and woolly national show Was like a rip-roaring rodeo. The racers, my, how they did run, Creating thereby a lot of fun. The slimy mud, oh my, oh my, How thick the mucky stuff did fly. Sometimes the elephant was in the lead And running like a Kentucky steed. When bing, the mule or Missouri ass Would catch the elephant and pass. And then sometimes we note by heck, They seemed to be running neck and neck. The thing that got the loudest laugh While silting with my better half, Was watching the great jockey Morse. You know, the one who kicks the horse. Perhaps you saw him make that jump From off the pachyderm's mighty rump . He looped the loop then lit astride that little thing the demos ride. Bewildered, I turned to Rose, my wife "Did you ever see such a thing in your life? And then amidst the awful din She made answer with a grin, "Not since the cow jumped over the moon in this same month or was it june?" Some people laughed, some people cried, Some had a fit and nearly died. I heard one noisy democrat As just behind my back he sat Call out loud to jockey Wayne, "Is it a fact that you're insane? That burrow now with little Harry has a greater load than he can carry.' I said to Rose "now little Jack will surely have a broken back." The quadruped, the G. O. P., Shot forward I could plainly see. With General Ike and Dick aboard, around and around the track they roared And finished midst an arousing cheer, Leaving Adlai and Johnny far in the rear. The show portrayed a great many thrills And the sad part was, a great many spills. When the show was over both Rose and I With weary eyes heaved a great big sigh. This super show with its jeers and cheers Has promised to return in just four years. We hope in the meantime the mud will be dried and those who go up Salt creek will have a pleas ant ride. started a disturbance.

LOENNIG TO BE SENATOR The Baker County Court this week named Rep. Rodger Loennig, republican, to the senate seat va cated when Senator Sam Coom resigned .to represent the Second Congressional Dist. Loennig served in the 19!")1 leg islature in the house, He was vice chairman of the aviation and commerce committee and was a member of the game and alco holic control committees. At the same time the court named Robert J. Steward. Haines, lives coos on and on. Tru v a work of salvation.

An Oregon State Prison guard, Jack Loring Smith, pleaded guilty last week to peddling liquor to a convict. Last week a $2.r,000 fire com pletely gutted the penitentiary tailor shop half an hour after in mates had left. Some guards blamed the prisoners for starting the fire.

WANT A STATE JOB? A call for applicants to take ex aminations for building mainten ance superintendents and engi neers at state schools and insti tutions was released this week by James M. Clinton, director of state civil service, Salem. Salaries range from $350 to $370 a month. Applicants must be resi dents of Oregon and citizens of the United States. Furniture Fashions ' A 1 Pi IxtA i 2 V M I s ' . J iH 1 si :-, 2 i 4 Jr. V" f if ' r V' M ' ' Jfl Remember the old tea wagon that used to grace Tifarly every dining room? Well, it's back in a wonderfully new guise and is more beautiful and infinitely more utilitarian than ever before. It has a number of descriptive new names, too, including "hostess cart," "brunch wagon, and "snack truck." The model shown above is black walnut with cherry trim. Combining two different woods in the same piece of furniture is a new style note. This hostess cart makes it possible to put an entire meal on wheels. The drop leaves provide a surprising amount of table sur face. It is ideal for TV parties, as well as for more formal entertaining. Lamb Prices Continue Downward Trend Sharp declines in market prices of lambs may be bad news for producers but are good news for consumers, according to Harold Cohn of Heppner, chairman of the Lamb Promotion committee of the Oregon Wool Growers association. Lamb prices currently are 35 to 40 per cent below last spring, and some 250,000 lambs being fatten ed for market in Northwest feed- lots may depress prices even fur ter, Cohn said. The Committee is sponsoring a "Mid-Winter Lamb Festival" in the period December 10 to Janu ary 17 to step up consumption of lamb. Depressed markets for both lamb and wool, Cohn said, threaten to force further reduc tions in the State's already-low sheep numbers. Such a situation, he said, would work to the even tual disadvantage of consumers. Many Oregop retailers are co operating ' by planning special promotions on lamb this week end. o Ponies Walk Over lrrigon34to 18 The Heppner grade school Pon-1 ies, using a fast break and fair shooting upended the Irrigon grade school Rockets this week by a score of 31 to 18. It was the Ponies first taste of competition and the boys worked hard and well, coach Jim Peterson said. Jerry Dougherty led the attack with 22 points and Edgar Olson, Dean Connor and Dick Applegate all had a big hand in the victory and were a constant threat. 17 1 players, including some members j of the B squad took part in the game. NATIONAL PRESS BUILDING WASHINGTON, 0. C. By Ann Good One of the best looking color combinations I've seen this fall l golden brown with black, inese colors are beautifully combined in mixed tweeds; then many brown dresses and suits are handsomely trimmed with black velvet. Stunning Jewelry accessories would be a choker of golden brown pearls and earrings to match. And with inexpensive plain pearls from the dime store and a package of golden brown all-purpose dye you can tint them just the right shade for ever so little! Eggs are rich protein food and so costly now. Do be sure you know how to shop wisely for them. Brown or white the color doesn't matter. Refrigeration does, so does grading. Whether they're intended for table use "as Is" or in baking will determine the grade you pur chase. Crisp, tasty croutons do things for salads as well as soups: Toss about 2 cups toasted bread cubes in this mixture: In a skillet heat vitaminized margarine, add salt, onion salt or a cut clove of garlic. When croutons are well coated, drain and serve afloat on soup or in a tossed green or mixed vege table salad. As fall moves Into winter flow ers become more expensive. For dining table decorations learn to make attractive centerpieces with colorful vegetables, sometimes with leaves, occasionally with a flower or two. With a bit of imagination and ingenuity, you'll have fun making all sorts of arrangements. Social Security Help Offered Self Employed Are you in business for your self?
