Not Forgotten
To the Editor:
Upon returning to my office
from an extensive tour of Oregon,
your editorial of August 14. ISMi'J,
was brought to my attention.
It is true that 1 did not have
the opportunity to visit Morrow
county during my most recent
trip. But rest assured your coun
ty has not been forgotten, and
on one of my future visits home
that Morrow county will be on
my schedule.
roruiaiiy,
Bob Packwood

"Tho nleasure nrinciole has been elevated over the Puri
tan ethic of work. To do one's own thing is a greater duty
than to be a useful citizen," quoting from a TIME essay about
the hippie sing in Bethel, N. Y.
We doubt that TIME has thought long enough on the
subject. The old theory of "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves jn
three generation?" still seems intact. These hippies are the
second and third generation from successful operators in busi
ness or profession or well-paid labor, a generation that want
ed children to have everything except responsibility. And un
der the circumstances the children are normal. They will
wind up on relief rolls and few will reproduce because of
druus. so there will be short end to them.
The big difference is that there are more of them and
that is on account of our exceeding prosperity. KememDer:
Ben Franklin said he could find no cure for prosperity.
It doesn't make any difference what the hippies think
about work nor how much they deride it by reference to the
Puritans; work will still be necessary if man is to eat and
wear clothes. The Important people of the nation will work,
and the satisfied and happy people will like it, not deride it.
Really successful generations are those who know enough
to use a small start inherited from saving parents and in
crease It without ostentation. Then in a generation or two,
the family may be assured of an income and affluence. Fam
ilies that fritter away their inheritance and spoil their kids
drop back into the misery from whence they came. Other
families, by the virtue of saving, rise to influence and take
their place in control of the economy.
The hippies are the most recent example of an old rule,
multiplied greatly and at present glaring outrageously. They
are the result of a generation unable to handle prosperity
and those who can t handle it, soon lose it.
(By Giles French, Sherman County Journal)
Which District?
When Morrow county school district R-l's board of direct
ors meets September 22, they are to consider whether Hepp
ner High school's athletic teams will continue to play in dis
trict 7AA (as it is to be called) or drop down to district 7A.
Unless the board petitions the Oregon School Activities
Association, the Mustangs will begin playing In the lower
classification In the fall of 1970, under a reclassification move
by the OSAA approved earlier this year.
Which district should IMS teams play in?
On one hand, the new league set-up would probably less
en travel expenses for Mustang teams.
On the other hand, the new league would probably not
give the HIIS teams the competition they have been used to
in district 7 A-2.
The board seeks the advice of more than just the coaches,
the principal and its Heppner advisory board. It seeks the
opinions of the citizens of Heppner.
Which district should HIIS teams play in?
You can help decide. The board meets at 8 p.m., Monday,
September 22 at the district office in Lexington.
A year from now, you may be complaining about the
decision the board has made. Your complaint will only be
legitimate If you spoke up when you had the chance.
Ra
in
There's something about the smell of rain that makes it
so noticeable.
Or maybe It was the fact that no measurable amount of
rain had fallen in Heppner since July 11.
Whatever it was, the odor of the rain which greeted risers
Tuesday morning was there, and it was sure a pleasant smell.
Should we say how great and how timely the moisture
was? Maybe not, since a few ranchers still haven't finished
their harvest. Maybe not, since some hay growers had just
raked their hay.
But maybe so, since hunting season is only a few weeks
away. And maybe so, since some ranchers have started seed
ing their fall wheat.
It seems the rain can't win, which just goes to show you:
you can't please all of the people all of the time.
The Rhyming Philosopher
PROCRASTINATION
Let's take a few seconds to ponder
The things we should do, but we don't,
Like fixing the door or that hole in the floor
We ought to do now, but we won't.
Too often we let our minds wander,
Put off writing letters past due;
There's dishes to wash, and the garden, by gosh,
Looks worse than a jungle it's true!
There Lsn't much time left to squander,
Regardless of what we may think.
The first thing you know there'll be nothing to show
For years you have poured down the sink.
Though maybe we're all growing fonder
Of pressing the flesh on our seat.
We'll find that we've built up a complex of guilt
Surrounded by walls of deceit.
Before we are summoned up yonder.
Let's earn peace of mind, if desired:
Don't put off for months what you should do at once
(I'd do that myself, but I'm tired!)
HARRY W. FLETCHER
Racing Bicycles
To the Editor:
I have had in mind to write
this since a fire alarm in Aug
ust. After reading "The Night Pol
ice Patrol Report" I feel it my
duty to do so.
When the alarm sounded, I
was at my door in seconds; as
were other neighbors in the area.
The first thing to catch my eye
was five young bicycle riders
(probably ages from 7 to 12
racing up the middle of Gale St.
from Church St. At Baltimore
and W. Center, others joined the
race.
No car could have possibly
passed through the group, going
either way on the street, safely.
It seems to me; when the fire
alarm sounds bicycles should
stay off the street, out of the
way of cars.
Parents of young riders; please
cio some serious thinking anj
teaching, before it is too late.
Am I overconcerned about that,
which is none of my business?

Heppner
Not Inhumane
To the Editor:
As chairman of the Heppner
Rodeo Board I felt I would be
doing a disservice to the people
of Morrow county and fellow
rodeo board directors to not an
swer Lois Winchesters absurd
letters to the editor.
First of all, at no time has the
Heppner Rodeo ever condoned
or tolerated any willful mistreat
ment of rodeo stock. If Mrs. Win
chester would stop and think
of how valuable these rodeo ani
mals are and how scarce they
are getting she would know that
the stock contractors wouldn t
allow it.
During all the rodeo events
before and after the show the
Heppner Rodeo was produced
under the close suiH-rvision of a
member of the Oregon Humane
Society who had the decency to
conio to the rodeo office and in
troduce himself and visit with
the rodeo directors and the stock
contractor. When he left Sunday
night lie had the decency to stop
in and thank us and bid us
goodbye and to tell the rodeo
hoard that he did not see any
inhumane treatment to the ani
mals and that he thought it was
one of the finest run shows he
had attended this year, and he
had been to about fifty rodeos
this year.
Mrs. Winchester seems to have
a particular gripe about our very
fine and highly respected rodeo
announcer. Too bad that it dis
torts her hearing to the point
that she quotes things about a
"secret nerve center" in goats'
throats too gruesome details and
about hurt horses that I nor any
one else attending the rodeo
even heard and anyone knowing
Joe Daley would know he would
never say in the first place. She
also quotes me or someone she
thought was chute boss as ord
ering her off the grounds. This
is untrue as I never said one
word to Lois Winchester during
this rodeo or any other rodeo
for that matter. Maybe some of
the stock contractors' crew order
ed her out to protect the equip
ment, being that she "borrowed"
a flank strap last year and the
rodeo board had to have a dep
uty sheriff retrieve it.
I think that if Lois Winches
ter cannot write true statement
and not have to resort to sen
sational descriptions of gory de
tails she should refrain from
writing. Because the R.C.A. and
N.R.A. have rules regulating
sharpness of spurs and flanks
and general rodeo equipment
written by levelheaded humane
men who have forgotten more
about human treatment of stock
than Lois Winchester will ever
know.
Sincerely,
Charles J. Daly

in Oregon. But the idea of mov
ing people in family-sized cap
suies, programmed by computer
to run only seconds apart on
overhead or underground net
works, is reported in the current
National Geographic to be get
ting serious study.
urowing awareness of mass
transit problems and needs,
which helped lead to the creat
ion of a Cabinet-level Depart
ment of Transportation in the
federal government two years
ago, is prompting such lulur
istic planning all over the no
tion.
In Oregon, similar concern was
a major factor in the legisla
ture's decision this year to es
tablish a State Department of
Transportation. Besides combin
ing the Highway, Motor and
Aeronautics Departments, it has
two brand new divisions: mass
transit and ports.
Because the older divisions al
ready are organized and running.
Transportation Director John M.
fuiton and his staff are devot
ing most of their attention to the
new, long-neglected areas of
study. The new divisions, in turn,
are proceeding in what Fulton
describes with satisfaction as an
"activist role."
It's too early to tell exactly
what results to expect," says the
retired Crown Zellerbach corp
orate representative. "I can tell
you we have more problems and
iewer answers in mass transit
than In any other field of trans
portation interest."
Administrator of the new mass
transit division is Fred Dver.
former Milwaukie (Ore.) city
manager. The three commission
ers are Robert Mitchell, chairman,
ana uan Hanna, both of Port
land, and Foster Anderson,
Eugene.
Working with Portland's Ma.s
Transit Advisory Commission in
developing plans is one immed-
ate concern. They aren't talking
People Pods yet, but are sifting
masses of statistics concerning
the movement of people in order
10 mane new judgments and de
cisions for action.
We have to find a better wav
of moving people," Fulton says
firmly, "and it isn't going to be
in automobiles."
In Portland. Harbor Drive and
Front Avenue can expect to
carry triple today's traffic In
20 years, he told Salem Scene.
Keeping up with parking needs
alone would convert downtown
areas Into massive parking lots.
by Evtrttt L Cutter
And there are other yardsticks
of concern safety, land
values, pollution beside,
simple overcrowding.
"To preserve downtown's rol'2
as a viable financial and merch
andising center, people will have
to be transported differently
perhaps by shuttle buses from
peripheral parking lots.
Although suburban shopping
centers will continue to blossom
Fulton is convinced that down
town is here to stay, as the
center of civic life, courts, pro
fessional and corporate offices.
Current construction in down
town Portland, and Eugene's
ambitious plans for core-area re
development would bear this out,
The Department of Transpor
tation is working; with Portland
and Eugene on ' mass transit
planning. Other priorities in
elude the possible formation of
inter-county mass transit dis
tricts, as authorized by the 1969
legislature, and anticlp a t i n g
means of transporting people to
and from the expanding- Fort
land International Airport.
Over in the new ports division,
officials are analyzing Oregon
port activity in preparing to
meet with regional authorities.
Division administrator is Paul
Coyne, former general manager
of the Port of Suslaw and re
cent president of . the Oregon
Public Ports Association. Com
missioners are Archie Davis,
Portland; Carl Fisher, Eugene;
and John McGowan, Astoria.
"We want to ensurecomprehen-
sive, realistic planning in terms
oi tne capabilities or noiviauai
ports," says Fulton. "We want
the ports to set meaningful ob
jectives and achieve meaingful
tax bases."
Often these goals involve
questions of best land usse, and
Fulton concedes that judgments
may difftr. Local pride or other I
factors behind the development
ui i-imipeuuve pon acuviura
may not always be in the best
long-range interest of a com
munity's economic standing.
While the Depart ment of
Transportation is not directly
involved in state economic plan
ning, he explains, many of its
decisions will necessarily con
cern economic situations.
If John Fulton sounds like a
man in the middle, helping to
ensure orderly economic devel
opment on the one hand and
concerned about - moving
people it will attract on
other, he does not appear
worried. i
"Both are bound to come to '
Oregon in the years ahead," he
says realistically. "We are wise
to be planning now, and to
concentrate our planning in these
rwo areas, so that Oregon can
be ready."
