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. .

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

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-
