ODD ENDS... VIOLATORS BEWARE Starting this week the Gazette Times, along with many other Oregon newspapers, start the publication of names of drivers who have had their drivers licese suspended. The name are given publicity not for the purpose of causing such persons additional embarrassment but to advise the general public that those persons, If they continue to drive as some are doing, are doing so in violation of the law. In most cases suspensions were ordered because those drivers were a menace, in some degree, to the careful driver. This paper will publish only the names of those persons living in Morrow county and such publication will not be "played up" but they will appear, as they occur, with other court news. It is our hope that such publication will serve as a deterrent to persons who might be inclined to violate traffic laws. POLITICS PLAYED A HAND Oregon's Democratic party pretty well proved why they have not held too man state offices in past years by their recent actions during the special session of the legislature. They were work ing, first of all, for their own political benefit, and second for the people of the state. True, the Republicans may have been stretch ing a point a little in wanting all the treasury surplus returned because nobody could prove that all the money would be available to refund, but the Demos showed their hand when they tried very hard to save the money to be able to make political hay with it during the next session. Such action can hardly be called working for the best interests of the state, and that's what our elected representatives are sent to Salem for. ON ART APPRECIATION None-of-our-business - but-wecant-reslst-the-temptation department. Been enjoying the reader comment recently In the EO about Dirtyshoes Thompson's views on the Pendleton ballet presentation. When we read the original we thought it might bring forth quite a variety of criticism and it sure did. So we've been informed, ballet, like other forms of art, has a story to tell and, like all stories or works of art, how such works are interpreted is subject to various interpretations of the artist or the viewer. We can well understand that not every viewer of ballet or an abstract painting, either, for example, will see in the work the same thing that someone else might. Thompson saw it in one light while some of the connoisseurs of fine art apparently looked at the show a little dif ferently. Who is to say htat Dirtyshoes didn't enjoy the presentation just as much as the other group? In fact, we think he did a pretty good job of in terpreting what he saw and putting it in a form that the general reading public could understand. Just because he didn't see the same things as someone else doesn't mean he's wrong, does it?
