To the Editor:
Dear Sirs:
Hello again! Please forward
the paper to Littleton, Colo., Box
140. We are settling there perm
anently as of today (Oct. 6).
We wish to thank you for the
paper following us over the
Northwest. We haven't missed a
copy, thanks to you.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Edward James
Gorman

To the Editor:
Dear Sir and all American
loving people of our fifty states.
We all like to give to the care
for the needy of Foreign coun
tries but there is plenty of room
for Care packages in our own
fifty states, which should come
first. And speaking of Foreign
Aid, four or five billion at a
whack while we get in our old
U.S.A. Lemon Ade-Aid and it is
getting pretty darned sour.
Yours sincerely,
Andy Hayes
To the Editor:
The increase of registered
Democrats has become a matter
of more than passing interest to
many in recent years. It has
been suggested that a substantial
part of this increase is counted
in student voters registering for
the first time, as the result of
constant pressure in our public
schools by biased teachers and
administrators pushing more

federal control over the public
school system.
Perhaps this is an overstate
ment, but then let's look at
what's happening in Morrow
county.
During this election year no
Republican candidates for pub
lie office have been invited to
appear in Heppner schools, in
cluding Governor Hatfield.
However, when Al Ullman
came to Heppner he was given
not only an invitation but a
captive audience, the entire
Heppner High school student
body, of course with the permis
sion of the administrators. Al
Lamb was introduced not as the
mayor of Heppner, but as the
chairman of the Morrow county
Democratic Central committee,
and he in turn introduced Ull
man. Ask yourselves whether such
impressions help convince a stu
dent to register as a Democrat
when eligible to vote. I have
no objection to public officials
speaking to our students, but in
fairness, our governor should
have had the same opportunity
as was given Al Ullman; and
I certainly can't condone using
Ulman's appearance as an ex
cuse to stage a partisan political
rally among susceptible teen
agers. It's time straight-thin king
democrats in Morrow county, es
pecially those working so hard
to repeal the school reorgani
zation act, think again before
voting for Ullman or Morse, who
would further limit local control
of our public schools.

Dear Sir:
It is evident from the recent
decision of the Morrow County
School Board to locate the new
Irrigon-Boardman High school
in the Boardman area in prefer
ence to suitable Irrigon sites,
that the future welfare of the
pupils involved was not fully
considered, or if considered, ig
nored for some unknown reason.
It is inconceivable that an In
telligent representative group of
people guided by a supposedly
intelligent advisor should flaunt
the concrete facts and make such
a decision after reports from sur
veys by disinterested groups
have strongly advised against
the locating of schools, churches
and homes in close proximity
to the Boeing Missile testing site,
one firm of consulting engin
eers recommending that the
school not be located closer than
25 to 30 miles to the testing area
because of the noise and accom
panying offensive odor. Can you
imagine a group of pupils trying
to study under these conditions?
Representatives of both the
State School system and the
Corps of Engineers have indi
cated that the decision was the
local board's, but with recom
mendations that as much space
as possible be left between the
school and the testing site. It

is true that the decision should
be the board's, but hot to the
detriment of the majority of
those who will be involved down
through the next few years.
Some of the pertinent facts
are: The town of Irrigon is perm
anent and even now the area
of greatest population, whereas
Boardman must relocate in its
entirety. In four years' time that
they have been aware of this, an
acceptable townsite has not been
secured. Many who, because of
construction of the John Day
dam, have been forced to sell,
have already moved to new
homes in the surrounding towns
or have indicated that they in
tend to. The tremendous expense
that will accompany the instal
lation of a water and sewage
system when the new townsite
is chosen will be prohibitive for
the few interested in remaining.
It appears that the matter lies
in the fact that a few have in
vested heavily in lands of the
area and without a mass accept
ance by the people to stay and
"help them feather their nests",
these speculators will be "left
holding the sack". By bringing
pressure to have the school lo
cated in this undeveloped area,
they hope it will draw enough of
a nucleus to save their necks.
Where does that leave our high
school? Isolated out in a sage
brush wilderness with the ex
pense of transporting our child
ren to it for years to come.
Should their plan to build a

country has many examples of

What a price to pay to some

seeking individuals who will
soon be gone and not have to

strongly feel that the Morrow
County Board would do well to
reconsider these and other facts
and make a decision for the
High School to be locatrd in or
near Irrigon, the . present and

population.
