(BURKENBINE'S) Heppner Market Phone 6-9922 Sam Coon Opens County Campaign Congressman Sam Coon center ed his campaign activities on Morrow county last Thursday in his bid for reeelection to a third term as representative of the 2nd Congressional district. The lawmaker spent most of the clay meeting constituents in Lexington, lone and Heppner, and also spoke at a meeting 6f the Soroptimist club In Heppner on Thursday noon. Arrangements for his visit were handled by Don Hatfield, chair man of the Morrow county Re. publican central committee. Coon refuted Democrat charges that the Republicans have not helped the rural electrification program in his Soroptimist ad dress. "Our party not only has kept this worthy program going", he said, "but it also has added many millions of dollars for new loans over what was provided in the last two Truman years." He said that in fiscal 1954 and 1955, when the Republicans had control of Congress, over twice as much was made available for REA loans as in the previous two years. "I was on the appropriations committee of the House both of those years," he said, "and voted for the needed increases." "I think it's about time our opponents stopped talking in generalities and paid a little more attention to the facts," he added. The Congressman praised the Columbia Basin Electric co-operative which serves much of this area. He said that such REA systems throughout the country have brought electricity to a large percentage of the nation's farms. "The standard of living of our farm population has been raised a great deal by this program," he said. Coon also congratulated Pa tricia Wright of Heppner for hav ing been selected Queen of the recent rodeo. He recalled having had lunch with her in the na tion's capitol when she and three other Oregon youths were 4-H delegates last spring. o Farm Income Move Up OSC Economist Says Farm incomes are moving up to share in the nation's general economic prosperity for the ffrst time in several years, reports M. D. Thomas, Oregon State college agricultural extension economist. The trend is based on the first six months of this year. Another signpost in the na tion's economy is increased spending for such non-durable goods as food, clothing, and re creation. At the same time, the average rate of savings is the highest in two years. The toial consumer debt in creased only 900 million dollars during the first half of 1956 com pared to more than 2 billion dol lars for the same period in 1955. The big boost to the nation's economic activity so far in 1956, says Thomas, has been at least 25 percent increased spending by businessmen for new plants, stores, and other facilities and equipment used to produce and distribute goods. Sooner or later, Thomas says, these favorable trends will effect prices and Incomes of Oregon farmers. o Charles Duncan, dean of xhe school of journalism at the Uni versity of Oregon and Carl Webb, secretary of the Oregon News paper Publishers Association, visited at the Gazette Times on Wednesday.
