Mann ' No matter how a person tries to keep posted on proceed In In the legislature during time It U in session. It U a dif ficult thine to sift out matters pertinent to him rrorn tne many reports by news media on the mass of business being conducted. ... For being Informed, there Is no substitute for personal con tact to get It "from the horse's mouth," as the old saying Rep. Irvin Mann of Stanflcld. representing the 2Sth district in the legislature, appeared at the Heppner-Mmrow County Chamber of Commerce meeting Monday and In a talk not ex ceeding a half hour gave the home folks a better report on . matters of concern to them than they could get In weeks of reading the papers or watching TV. .ntv He has the advantage In reporting because he Is Primarily concerned with matters of particular Interest to hU constitu ents. and he can sort out the rest in bringing juch a report. For Instance, we learned that the bill proposed by a Eugene representative to consolidate a number ot "stt7L counties (with Pendleton as the county seat) Is hibernating soundly in committee (for a long, long winter, we nope.). Rep. Mann said, however, that a proposal to study possible county consolidations on a statewide basis was brought up. It was not passed, but may be In the future. This would make con slderably better sense than to arbitrarily point the finger at a group of counties (far away from your own. a la Rep. Ken. nedv of Eugene) and say. "You're it" rv,. MM.ntatv rave us backcround on the Congression al redisricting, told about some property tax relief that will come as a result of the state being in a hltMe enom Jc condition than was anticipated, reported on a fight to pass a bill to reappraise farmlands on the basic of prou?. gave his point of view on the new meat label law. which he "introduced, and discussed a good many other matters. In short he brought a succinct and enlightening report on matters of importance to our people. When a man serves five counties coverine 8.955 square miles, he has a real Job keep ing In touch with all his people and making them truiy ieei he is their representative. , tm Mrm- virtues of sincerity, logical reasoning, under- standing of the area and people he serves, and IaIghtIor ward manner convey this feeling In the feature he has demonstrated that he has enough dogged determination to do battle for things that he feels necessary to do Justice to the ' area he represents. . In his talk Monday, he said that he came home from the sessions with the conviction that 90 of the legislators are of "extremely high quality." From what observers at the legislature have reported. Rep. Mann ranks well up in that 90. In less than nine months after his election nis active psrucipauou .C6.-w.. experience In two sessions have brought him to political ma turity. He has demonstrated that he Is a strong man who will give top representation to his district. Hearing Needed on LCL Shipments Businessmen here have expressed concern over the expect ed discontinuance of less than carload lot shipments of freight, below 4000 lb., by the Union Pacific Railroad. . . , No formal announcement has been made of this Intention to our knowledge, but the report nas oeen currem. umi a change is expected as of August 1. At the present time, small shipments of goods are routed bv Union Pacific from Portland to Arlington and are picked up there by truck to be hauled to local points in Morrow coun ty and elsewhere. ... . Apparently the reason for the railway company wishing to discontinue the service is a-sound and logicaTone it loses .money on the LCL shipments, according to information we receive Alternative to this method of handling small shipments coming here would be to route them via truck lines with the local truck service making pickups at some point on Highway 80N Principal objection to this is that it will mean consider ably higher freight costs for local merchants in an area where freight is already a substantial item. Merchants in a small community have neither the customer ' demand nor resources to order large volume, and it Is almost - an axiom that the smaller the shipment, the higher the freight is in proportion. ...... Some have been sending letters to the Public Utility Com missioner asking for a hearing on the matter. Bill Flatt of Flatt's Trucking Service said Monday that because of the in terest on the matter here as well, a from other points along the Union Pacific system, the" commissioner may call such This would be a reasonable thing to do. It Is quite obvious ly a matter with good arguments on both sides. The railroad can't afford to operate the service at a loss, but neither can local business people stand higher freight costs without pass v ing them on to consumers. The customers would undoubtedly have strong feelings on this. - Service via the railway has been good and important to our area. It has been something of a lifeline for local com merce. While it may not be legally required, it would seem logi cal and right that a hearing be called on the matter where jail arguments could be heard, questions answered, and per . haps another solution might be forthcoming. About Those Missed Papers : During the past two weeks the Gazette-Times has had more cards and letters from subscribers In the western part of the state notifying us that they have not received their papers than the total of all such communications during the past four years. The trouble is due to some confusion caused In rearrang ing the mailing list so that papers are grouped to go to the : appropriate sectional distribution centers of the post office department under the Zip Code system. Postmaster James Driscoll has been cooperating with the paper to get this Job done. The task Isn't particularly diffi cult, but it is somewhat confusing and has led to some mix ups between what we call our "single wraps" and those pap ers which go to other towns in bundles. The result has been . that in recent Issues some papers have been missed. At the same time we are in the process of adding Zip Code 'numbers to all addresses, which is to be requiredUby the. post 'office department This is a considerable Job for it means 'reworking all the plates in our address trays. - -- - . . As of this week, the list should be in good order, and all subscribers should receive their papers in good. time. : The rearranging is aimed at improving service and should TTMES. Trt4T. Jwlf ti.

They were guests in tne nomes of Mrs. Bender's sisters, Mrs. Fay Prock and Mrs. Maurice Elder. i.i kiA AihA- thin With the Zip Code system here to stay, subscribers can help us by checking to see that Zip Codes on their paper ad dresses are correct. If they are missing or are incorrect, a card bearing the correct number will be appreciated. This, or course, applies only to those going out of Morrow county. We know the Morrow county numbers. If addresses are incorrect in any other way-wrong street number, names spelled incorrectly, wrong compass direction (such as "S. E." Instead of "N. E."), now would be a good time to get these things straightened out. We would stress again also that subscribers who change addresses should notify us at once. If these changes are not made on our list, post offices hold the paper with the old ad dresses and send clippings of the addresses on the papers bacK to us, charging us for each return. We appreciate the patience of those who have missed pap ers. Any others who have not received their copies but haven t notified us are invited to do so, and we'll send issues that wcr jtixisscd , When the Job Is done, the mailing list will be In the best 'condition that it has ever been, and delivery should be ex pedited so that every subscriber should receive every Issue 0nTothose who have experienced trouble we say "Thank you for your understanding." The only thing gratifying about the whole thing is that our subscribers really do miss their pap ers when they don't come. Our Reader Family Grows Some very happy reports come via Bud Weik, manager of the current Gazette-Times subscription campaign. Lively young salesmen at work in the contest for cash and merchandise prizes, as well as sales commissions, are doing a surprisingly good Job. As a result of their work, the Gazette-Times family of read ers Is growing substantially, and there Is every indication that circulation of the 82-year-old paper will reach the high est number In its long and colorful history. The energy, resourcefulness and enthusiasm exhibited by this young crew are revealing. They know how to get out and hustle; they know how to stick to a Job and get It done. We suspect that much of the spirit they display comes as a result of support and encouragement from their parents. The reponse they are getting is also something of an In dex to the interest our local people, their friends and relatives elsewhere, and former residents have in Morrow county and its happenings. It seems to us that whenever anyone lives in the county for any length of time he never loses interest In what is going on "back home." We enjoy having them in the "family" and of trying to convey to them via the columns of the paper what is going on that may be of Interest, We haven't pressed Campaign Manager Weik for specific results on the campaign thus far because we wouldn't want to do anything that might indicate that we would influence the work of any of the salesmen or show prejudice towards any of them. From bits of information we gather, however, we know that all are doing a splendid Job. There may be some new records set as our reader family grows and Mor row county news goes to more families than ever before. cool etui McUd the tjltoj. P J..ToJ, ahtod I Mm.
