Throughout their advertising In this pa per, the reader will note considerable spoofing that they have directed at themselves, and It has been noted In contacts made, this has been done with considerable enthusiasm and glee. To be honest about It. everyone realizes that the business folks have dubbed themselves "crazy" as an Intelligent ap proach to promote trade. Perhaps it gives them an excuse to sell at greatly reduced prices, sometimes at cost and below, without the tinge of conscience which. In their normal busi ness wisdom, might not be the proper course to follow. They're going to try to prove themselves "off their rock ers" by dressing In goofy getups. But they're crazy, all right like foxes. , Be this as it may. the shopping public can't lose.

No Deaf Ears Here, Either When the hearing was held In John Day recently on pro posed study of the John Day Basin by the Army Engineers for possible development, residents of Grant county turned out In great numbers to give the proposed study their unan imous support . , With obvious delight Editor Connie Johnson of the Blue Mountain Eagle, John Day, commented on the turnout in an editorial last week, "No Deaf Ears Here." Business houses in four towns closed so their owners could attend the hearing. It is the kind of unanimous support that Eastern Oregon needs for development Although Morrow county is only the fringes of this po tential development, it stands to gain indirectly from proj ects that might be undertaken across the mountains and would have some direct benefits. Local agencies gave support to the proposal at the hearing in Condon, which also was very successful and unanimous in affirmative opinion. Statements from Morrow county were both oral and written. Whatever Is good for this part of Oregon is good for us, and the John Day basin would seem to be virgin country that could very well profit from development with dams de signed for multipurpose use. Like Connie, we rejoice in the success of the hearings and would add to his statement "There are no deaf ears here, either." His comments follow: It was exhilarating to see the tremendous turnout for the Corps of Army Engineers public hearing last Thursday in John Day. Members of Col. Frank McElwee's staff told us they had brought 500 registration cards to sign up spec tators and speakers. They ran out of cards, and wrote the rest of the names on a sheet of paper. After the hearing, Colonel McElwee told us that Thurs day's hearing drew the largest crowd to any hearing he has conducted. He commended local citizens for their in terest in the basin-wide study. We believe the hearing was conducted in an excellent manner. Everyone from industries and governmental agencies to ordinary citizens was given a chance to get up and speak. And we believe Just about every possi ble point was brought out for the engineers. The letters and statements submitted at the hearing, along with the oral presentations, are bound to make an impressive record of Grant county's desire for a controlled river system. Letters sent to Colonel McElwee prior to the hearing are being included In the record, as will letters sent to him before Nov. 3 We were very pleased to find that 99 John Day, Can yon City, Prairie City and Mt. Vernon business houses closed Thursday afternoon for the engineers hearing. In an area of this size, that's' a tremendous amount of sup port. Places which had to remain open sent representa tives to the hearing. We believe our businessmen should be commended for this effort. The Blue Mountain Eagle applauds the efforts of the ' Grant County Water Resources Board, the people who prompted the hearing, the people who attended, and , Colonel McElwee and his staff for getting this ultra important project underway. Deft Definition Senator Karl Mundt of South Dakota is credited with pass ing along this tongue-in-cheek definition of capital punish ment. "Capital punishment is when the government taxes you to get capital in order to go into business in competition with you and then taxes the profits on your business to pay for its losses."

On Sunday they attended a dinner and open house at the country home of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Deyoe near Dayton. The occasion observed the 60th wed ding anniversary of the couple, who during their early marriage had lived in this community. Mrs. Pieper and Mr. Scott are cousins of Mr. Deyoe.

MERV JENKINS, in his column in the Woodburn Independ ent, passe on a little nifty that he picked up irom lorn m, editor of The Times at Walts burg. Wn. The editor recently wrote that he is uneasy about the new two-letter abbreviations developed by the Post office De partment for all the 50 states, and authorized for use by cer tain mailers who promise they will add zip code numbers to all addresses In their files. Baker said that he was happy that Oklahoma is "still Ok.'' that Indiana would seem to be permanently open for business with "In." and that Hawaii "is a friendly Hi." He notes that Maine "ends up a narcissistic Me." and fears for the future of a Freudian Idaho as "the land of the suppressed Id." ii suppested that a more pat riotic muscial scale be used to replace the traditional dore-ml and might read "Co-Pa-Me-Go-Mo-La-Vl-Co." but challenges anyone to sing Colorado, Penn sylvania. Maine, Georgia, Lou isiana. Virgin Islands, Colo rado." That brought up the possibil ity that this new short abbrevi ation Is Just softening up the public for' eliminating the state name altogether and Just hav ing a zip code. Looking ahead, Baker predicts that we will be hearing conversations ab o u t summer vacations such as the following: "We were going to go down to 98106 this year. We took a long trip back to 10045 last year, but you know how all that drlv ing wears you out. "Bill's cousin from 96507 is going to visit us toward the end of the summer and 1 know they would like the scenic drive up from 98564. Some people think that all the nice mount ains are in 80025 but we have some beautiful peaks right here in 87664. "After all this traveling, how ever, I sometimes think the best place to spend a vacation is right here In 99360. Don't you agree, 577-1443-9864 ?" THERE ARE SOME publications which always seem to come up with cute Jokes. One is the Woodmen of the World maga zine. Note this one In its No vember Issue: There was this guy who had a pet rabbit It got sick one day so he took It to the veterinar ian and the vet proceeded to examine it. "I can't understand, Doc," the guy said. "I give my rabbit the best of care. I even give it goat milk to drink." The vet no sooner heard this than he handed the rabbit back to his owner. "No wonder, he said, you should know better than to use that greasy kid stuff on your hare." THE SAME publication declares that the dime Isn't entirely unrthlpoa In thia Inflated area. It makes a good screwdriver. 1 YEP, ONLY 51 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS. NOW IS THE TIME TO ORDER YOUR PERSONALIZED CHRISTMAS CARDS. WE HAVE A GREAT SELEC TION IN EXCLUSIVE LINES THIS YEAR.
