Publlahed Every Thursday (l,.voll,')nHu "Our Talents, and and Entered at the Poat Office at Heppner. Oregon, Clasa Matter. Congressman Ullmon Points the Way When Congressman Al Ullman. In hi appearance In Heppner Friday night, emphasized the nwd for positive thinking In selling democracy to the world, he hit this country's crying need of today right on the button. "A lot of people arc becoming hysterical on the far right," he said. 'Their thinking Is that if you are against communism, you are a great American, and that Is enough. It Isn't enough to be Just antt-communlstlc. You have to know what you btand for." These words are true, and should stand as a guiding principle for Americans In this critical time. Our strength today can come from each individual manifest ing the re.siHjnslblllties of good citizenship, taking part In his local government, voting In each election, respecting the rights and privileges of others, realizing that our freedoms bring obli gations and duties, showing goodwill towards others, and being concerned with the plight of those less fortunate than we. It does no good to speak derisively of another system, unless we can demonstrate a better system ourselves. We have that better system In America, and we don't need to dissipate our efforts by the negative process of shouting at communism. As Congressman Ullman said, we have the strength and depth In America to win the world by living the Ideals in which we believe. However, we do have a great deal of work cut out for our selves in "keeping our own house in order." We do a poor Job of selling ourselves abroad oftentimes, and much of the world has an erroneous Impression of us. Exchange students come here and are amazed that the lush and frivolous Impression that they liuve formed of Americans is not typical at all, although we do seem to dote on that characterization sometimes. A football team doesn't win by spending its time saying that the opponent is no good. It has to demonstrate its superior strength to come out on top. We have attempted to buy world favor by outbidding com munism abroad and have failed miserably. We have been In clined to be smugly complacent and contented with our high standard of living and the blessings we enjoy in the United Slates. Now the time is here when each individual needs to develop his share of democracy's strength in positive ways. We don't need a "fallout shelter psychology." We need to demonstrate to others that we have a real concern for the downtrodden and the unfortunate and that we aren't the "high and the mighty." It Is ironic that we, who are sure we have the strongest system In the world, have retreated to a negative and defensive position. We sorely need to snap out of it, think positively and demon strate our worth by conscientious attention. This, as Congressman Ullman indicated, is the weapon that will defeat communism. .

Important It Is here. But I ran Imagine how the snow was greet ed in Eugene and Ro-burg, ex cept by the kids, who like It an where. WITH SO much cause for Thanksgiving, it Is hard to understand why more folks don't express their feelings. The South Morrow Ministerial association had a fine service at 10 a. m. on Thiinksj-ivlng day in the Christ ian church, but only about 50 persons attended. Pastor Ken Rulilnson, a fluent and thought provoking speaker, had an excel lent message. Although we ad mit it was hard to get ready on one of the few days of the year we have to relax witn tne paper put to bed a day early, that old turkey bird tasted much better after attending this ser v Ice. There Is something especially fine about seeing these ministers Join together and cooperate in an Interdenominational service, realizing that although they dif fer In some doctrinal beliefs, thev are all working for the same general goal. SAY. IT Is good to see Dr. A. D. McMurdo back down to the of fice after breaking his collar bone some weeks ago. He was out to the dinner for Congress man Al Ullman, and that is the lirst time we have seen our across the street neighbor for some time. It's strange no one ever expects a doctor to get sick or hurt. JUDGE OSCAR PETERSON has many talents. Another came to light this week with the publi cation of his book, "75 Years of the Valby Lutheran Church." The judge edited the book, and It Is a very fine edition that many, even "those not in the church will enjoy. The old pictures that the Judge collected for the work turned out amazingly good in the book, and there are some dandies in it. Old-timers will enjoy look at the family and group pictures, and the old farm :;cenes hold interest for all. This is a mighty neat job, and it will remain valuable for gener ations, now that the Judge has preserved It in printed form. iTobahly frw rralU how costly it 1 to print such a book (we know!, and the editor will never came out financially, nor do- he expert to. But he has made fine contribution to history. IT DIDNT take the puhlle long to get the Idea on the guessing content at Christmas Opening, and it turned out to be quite a game. We were amused at one little guy who came in here Larry Bellenbroek. He had his sister write his name on a guessing slip and then guessed that the number of words on the front page of the G-T on dis play was 7M. He noted a wry smile on the face of someone In the office and that made him suspicious, so he said to his sis ter, "No. change that. Make It ahh three thousand ah It four hunured and ahh ninety-five." Little did he know that the second guess was just G2 above the correct ficure. and he was closest at that point. However, later Gordon Hutchens came In with a guess of 3103. and he was the winner. We had one guess of 8.977.000 words. Wow. what a Job someone would have us do. MIKE WHITESMITH proved to be a wool -puller over the eyes when he phenngled things so that Mr. and Mrs. Sherman would be surprised with the Chamber of Commerce Certifl-j cate of Recognition at the Farm- City banquet. He had to do some elaborate llguring xo get one ui the blank certificates out of the Chamber files, because the files, you see, are located In the Gazette-Times office. Mike must have a spy across the street to watch when the Shermans were both out of the office at the same time a thing that rarely happens. But he managed It, and although we became a little sus picious when he told us that the writer, as Chamber secretary, and his wife had to sit at the head table (even though the presi dent didn't sit there), it cer tainly came as a surprise. It caught us very thoroughly tongue-tied when the presenta tion same, but Mr. and Mrs. want to say at this point that if we are entitled to such recognition, our faithful and hard-working staff surely deserves a big share of it. If we have been doing a good job here, it is also because of the fine cooperation and en couragement of the wonderful H't.plo In Morrow county. It err- lainly mi.
