Tired American Speaks Out
(From Luverne, Minn., Rock County Herald,
via Burns Times-Herald)
I am a tired American.
I'm tired of being called the URly American.
I'm tired of having the world panhandler! use my country
as a whipping boy 365 days a year.
1 am a tired American weary of having American em
bassies and Information centers stoned, burned and sacked
by mobs operating under orders from dictators who preach
peace and breed conflict
I am a tired American weary of being lectured by Gen
eral de Gaulle (who never won a battle) who poses as a sec
ond Jehovah In righteousness and wisdom.
I am a tired American weary of Nasser and all the other
blood sucking leeches who bleed Uncle Sam white and who
kick him on the shins and yank his beard if the flow falters.
I am a tired American weary of the beatniks who say
they should have the right to determine what laws of the
land they are willing to obey. t , ..
I am a tired American fed up with the mobs of scabby
faced, long haired youths and short-haired girls who claim
they represent the "new wave" of America and who sneer at
the old fashioned virtues of honesty, integrity and morality
on which America grew to greatness.
I am a tired American weary unto death of having my
tax dollars go to dictators who play both ends against the
middle with threats of what will happen if we cut the gold
en stream of dollars.
I am a tired American who Is tired of supporting families
who haven't shown any other source of income other than
government relief checks for three generations.
I am a tired American who is getting madder by the min
ute at the filth peddlers who have launched Americans in an
obscenity race who try to foist on us the belief that filth Is
an integral part of culture in the arts, the movies, the lit
erature, the stage.
I am a tired American weary of the bearded bums who
tramp the picket lines and the sit-ins who prefer Chinese
communism to capitalism who see no evil in Castro, but
sneer at President Johnson as a threat to peace. .
I am a tired American who has lost all patience with that
civil rights group, which Is showing propaganda motives on
college campuses from coast to coast Movies denouncing the
United States. Movies made in Communist China.
I am a tired American who is angered by the self-righteous
critics of America, at home and abroad, who set im
possible yardsticks for the United States but never apply the
same standards to the Ftench. the British, the Russians, the
Chinese.
I am a tired American sickened by the alackjawed bigots
who wrap themselves In bedsheets In the dead of night and
roam the countryside looking for Innocent victims.
I am a tired American who dislikes clergymen who have
made a career out of integration causes, yet send their own
children to private schools.
I am a tired American who resents those who try to ped
dle the belief in schools and colleges that capitalism is a
dirty word and that free enterprise and private initiative are
only synonyms for greed. They say they hate capitalism, but
they are always right at the head of the line demanding their
share of the American way of life.
I am a tired American real tired of those who are trying
to sell mc the belief that America is not the greatest nation
dedicated to the policy of trying to help the "have nots"
achieve some of the good things which our system of free en
terprise brought about
I am an American who gets a lump in his throat when
he hears the "Star Spangled Banner" and who holds back
tears when he hears the chilling high notes of the brass trum
pets when Old Glory reaches the top of the flag pole.
I am a tired American who thanks a merciful Lord that
he was so lucky as to be born an American citizen a nation
under God, with truly mercy and Justice for all.

TO THE
EDITOR. . .
Dear Editor:
For years, in fact ever since
the Library-Museum was do
nated by Mrs. Amanda Duvall,
I've meant to say a few words
of thanks and gratitude for the
generous gifts to our communi
ty. It is such a fine beautiful
building for all of us to be
proud of, and a privilege to be
able to take our friends and
relatives from out of town there
to enjoy many of the important
objects and items relating to
our country's past history. To
me it's much to be thankful for,
that so many things can be pre
served for future generations to
enjoy.
With the old county sheds
and junk yard removed, the
grounds have really made a
radical change for the better
ment of the town. Since I look
that way every day of my life,
I have a chance to enjoy it
more than most people in town.
And I should have spoken up
much sooner to give Vic Grosh
ens, Wayne Harsin and Bob
Dobbs a lot of commendation
and praise for their loyal and
hard efforts to keep the park
in such a splendid condition.
In the summer time it is a joy
to hear the many happy voices
of children at play in their part
of the play ground.
Again, my thanks to Mrs. Du
vall for being such a generous
person to our Morrow county.
And mv sincere thanks to all
concerned.

place south of Heppner where
a few people have been tith
ing through the Ice the past
winter, and here la a story to
substantiate the fact. This Is no
tall fish story.
A rvrtaln euv from lleonner
decided he'd go fishing one day
last week. His partner, who had
other business In the area, drop-
oed him off at his favorite llsh-
Ing spot, and said he'd return
for him In a couple hours. So
our fisherman cut a hole In the
ice. baited his hook and drop-
oed It in the water. In lust a
few minutes down went the
hnhbor. He reeled in. but no
fish, and the bait gone.

our fisherman decided he need

the rod and reel very careluiiy
on his fish sack within easy
reach, hook and bobber in the
water, he leisurely sat oacx on
his haunches to cut a chaw
from his favorite plug of chew
ing tobacco. Before he ever got
the tobacco into his mouth,
down went the bobber out of

whan hl nartnpr returned.
the dejected fisherman was sit

road, no fish and no gear.
The partner said. "How's the
fishing?"
"Well, it's a long story," was
the fisherman's reply.
