HEPPNER GAZETTE Know Your Candidates A v --mm f t 1 OLIVER CRESWICK OLIVER CRESWICK Republican Candidate For Morrow County Judge I would like to preface this statement by saying that I am a candidate not under the influ ence of any croup or faction, and am not obligated in any way to act in any manner bene ficial to any group or individ ual. My primary interest in filing for this office is a genuine de sire to bo of service to Morrow county. All that I can promise in the way of a campaign ob ligation is to do the best job that I know how, kwping in mind constantly the desires and needs of the voters of Morrow county. I am registered as a Republi can, and have identified myself with the Republican party, and as such I intend to adhere to party policies. A policy of vacil lation and indecision is not con ducive to good government, and while the county judge has to look toward other governmental officials for advice and assis tance on many problems, it is not necessary or logical to sac rifice party identity in so doing. 1. I sincerely believe that Mor row county has a definite place in the whole economy of Ore gon, and also a place in the nat- NOTICE OF BUDGET HEARING The budget for Iono-Lexlncton Cemeterv District for the fiscal year 1964 1965, beginning July 1, in the accompanying schedules pasis consistent witn that used in prior years.

I believe that Morrow coun ty has many possibilities to help supplement our agricultural pic ture. We need a unification of efforts, both agriculturally and industrially, to accomplish this, and it is my sincere desire to provide the leadership neces sary to accomplish this task. Morrow county is basically an agricultural area, therefore ag riculture will always hold a dominant place in our economy. We must intensify and expand this phase of our economy, but by the same token we must not lose sight of the advantages to our tax base by a diversifica tion. 2. I believe that the adminis tration of the internal affairs of this county can be better served by firm decisive action by each and every department of county government, doing the job des ignated to it, by putting aside the petty jealousies so easily cult ivated, and with dedication pro duce a unified front of harmony tind unanimity of purposes and action. I believe that the voters of Morrow county are entitled to know what goes on within its county government. There are many worthwhile projects within our county that need, and do not have the support of our present county court. There is a lack of unity within the coun ty court itself, which needs to be remedied. This I believe can be accomplished. For if there is no unity within the court, how can the average taxpayer and inter ested citizen approach the court with any hope of success for any beneficial program? I believe that plans should be studied rel ative to the establishment of a pension program for county em ployees. 3. I believe that a greater ef ficiency can be obtained within the county road department by the initiation of a cost account ing system, and the employment by the county of a licensed civil engineer to lay out all future road projects, either on a full time basis or in cooperation with adjoining counties. I believe that the road department should have a definite program of road construction and maintenance 1965, as detailed and summarized was prepared on an accounting $ 12,547.47 $ 12,547.47 12,5-17.47 $ 12,547.47 $ Beginning July I, 1364 Total General $ All Funds 17,195.00 Fund 17,195.00 2,320.00 14,875.00 none 14,875.00 14,875.00 14,875.00 $ 5,400.00 based on at least a 10-year pro jection, with the goal in mind of having every market road in the county oiled by the end of that time. 4. 1 believe that Morrow county has a dominant role to play in the recreation picture of the state of Oregon. With the advent of the Boeing complex in the north end of the county, the pressures for recreation will be intensi fied far beyond our greatest real ization. Now, we must begin to ilevelop these assets. There should be unanimous support for the Willow Creek dam and reservoir project. There should be unanimous support for the development of the Swale Creek Reservoir on the Hcppner Ranger district. There should be unani mous support for the Arbuckle Ski Area. This has been a fine example of volunteer coopera tive efforts to date. There should be unanimous support for the development of the park on Rock Creek. And above all, recreat ion in the northern part of our county must be developed. This area has a wonderful indus trial future. And the efforts of Morrow should be geared to meeting this challenge. As we think of recreation, we cannot help but think of water resources in general. We must bend all of our efforts to con serving our natural resources, particularly water. We should give unanimous support to the Rhea Creek Small Watershed pro ject. 5. I believe that every effort should be made to complete the all-weather road up Shaw Creek Grade to the Umatilla county line, and every effort must be made to gain the cooperation of Umatilla county to complete this road to Ukiah. I believe that the first step necessary would be a full comprehensive survey of the road location, to ascertain the best routes and the exact costs of construction. Every effort should be made to complete the all-weather road from Parker's Mill to the Grant county line. for Grant county is now in the process of completing its end of this project. In the past, Morrow county nas had excellent cooper ation with Kinzua Corporation on many projects in the moun tain areas. This shuold continue. It will be my endeavor to main tain such contacts at the highest level possible. I also believe that every effort should be made to convince the Oregon State High way Commission of the necessity of relocating State Highway No. 74 from Morgan to Arlington, by way of Fourmile Canyon. Every effort should be made to take Hcppner off the end of the road. Our days of quiet isolation can no longer be maintained. We must participate in the affairs of the State of Oregon if we are to enjoy the benefits of a higher economy. 6. I believe that there should be a sound approach to our prop erty assessment problems. I be lieve that all properties within our county should be assessed on an equitable basis so that the tax burden is shared as equi tably as possible. I do not be lieve that any segment of our economy should be detrimen tally assessed for the benefit of any other groups. 7. 1 believe that matters within the county court involving juv enile problems should be given more than just serious thought. I believe that decisions regard ing juveniles should be weighed on the merits of the individual case, and not Influenced by out side pressures, bearing in mind what is best for the juvenile in volved. 8. I would like to close my statement by giving a chrono logical account of my political history and accomplishments: My first political office was that of coroner from 1952 to 19G0. Because of my interest in the affairs of Morrow county, I term inated my employment with the U. S. Forest Service, in order to be free of governmental restric tions. I was then appointed to the office of Morrow county as sessor, to serve from July, 1961; to January, 1963. During my tenure as assessor, a timber ap praisal contract was consum mated with the State of Oregon. This project had been hanging for several years. Also during this tenure, a contract was con summated with the State of Ore gon for the reappraisal of all farm lands within the county. I was then appointed to the office of Justice of the Peace for the Sixth District for Morrow County on January 10, 1963, which of fice I am now holding. Since assuming this office, I have en deavored to pursue a policy of firmness and justice, tempered with understanding and mercy. 1 have approached each and every matter with sincerity and a genuine desire to render the most equitable verdict possible. I have filed for this office fully realizing the many problems in herent in this office, but also with the knowledge that a chal lenge exists for the man who is MATTRESS SALE Foam Rubber Sets Reg. $139.50 NOW ONLY $109.50 Firm Orthopedic Mattress Sets Reg. $129.50 NOW ONLY $99.50 Queen Size Mattress Set Reg. $149.50 NOW ONLY $99.50 We Handle Simmons.

He served as secretary of Hepp-ner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce for a time. Both Mr. and Mrs. Soward are well known in Morrow county. They have two sons and a daugh ter. All are college graduates, married and working in their chosen fields of endeavor. His slogan is "Firmness if needed; mercy where it will help." willing to accept that challenge Great things can be accomplish ed for Morrow county, and I would like the opportunity of having a part in accomplishing these things. I am just as human as all of you, and I have made many mistakes in the past, and will undoubtedly make many mistakes in the future, but re member this, the man who makes no mistakes, does noth ing. I would like to give you a little personal history regarding myself and my family. I was born in Providence, R. I. and spent the first 21 years of my life in that state. I entered the service of our country in June, 1941, and was discharged from the Air Force with the rank of sergeant in October, 1945. A good portion of my service career was spent in the State of Oregon, in Pendleton, Madras and Redmond, and a year and a half spent in Walla Walla, Wn. We came to Heppner from Baker in April, 1949, and with my wife we have operated the mortuary in Hepp ner the last 15 years during which time we have endeavored to render honest and conscien tious service to the residents of Morrow county. We have one daughter, Mrs. Duane Gentry, who resides in The Dalles, and three sons, David, who is now attending an electronics school in Salt Lake City, and is the husband of Jeanne, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Schmidt of Heppner; Ronald Lee, who is a sophomore with a major in microbiology at the Oregon State university; and Donald Harry, who is a senior in Hepp tner High school, and who is planning to attend Oregon Tech nical Institute at Klamath Falls this coming year. And last but not least, the most important .member of our family, my wife. Hester was born of a farm fam ily in Missouri, and of course spent the early years of her life in the agricultural areas of northern Missouri. I have filed for this office knowing that the voters of Mor row county will make their choice, based on a logical ap proach, selecting the candidates with a record of accomplishment in the county, a candidate with a sense of dedication so necessary to this esteemed office, so I sub mit my record of accomplish ment and my hopes for the future of Morrow county to you, the voter.
