Be A Blood Donor
A person In good health between the ages of 18 and 61
is eligible to donate blood. The date March 24 has been set
for the annual visit of the Red Cross Blood Mobile to Hepp
ner. More people should become first time donors. The first
time may be viewed with apprehension but composure soon
returns when the donor learns the process is quite painless.
Actually the most painful stop of the several through the
line Is the prick of the finger for the drop of blood needed
for testing.
The entire process Involving interview, tests and refresh
ments usually requires about 45 minutes. The actual dona
tion takes approximately 7 minutes.
It should be emphasized that blood is a fluid for which
there is no substitute. Many advances have been made in
the concept of blood therapy. These advances have stimulated
the public's interest not only in blood procurement programs
but also In the nature of blood itself.
Blood is a community responsibility. Every minute every
clay over 8 bottles of blood are used in this country to treat
the ill and the injured.
Blood can be stored for possible use for only 21 days. No
blood is wasted. All blood not used for transfusion is returned
to the Red Cross Center where the plasma is removed and
derivatives are prepared that are needed to do the jobs that
whole blood alone cannot accomplish. Gamma globulin to
prevent measles. Serum Albumin to combat shock. Fibrin
ogen to stop hemorrhage. Red cells to treat anemia. Fro
zen plasma to treat hemophiliacs.
Be a First Time Donor. The blood you give you won't miss.
It saves lives.
A Matter of Responsibility
There is no denying that universities, in most cases, have
leaned over backwards to adjust to the idea of greater stu
dent participation in university operations. But, little has
been said of a fundamental question concerning expansion
of student powers.
The president of Hofstra University, Dr. Clifford Lord,
touched on this question when he said, "... I think one
of the main problems of student governance is the very real
problem of responsibility in a population which is in con
stant turnover to a degree that is not true of faculty, admin
istration and trustees . . ." Dr. Lord was referring, of course,
to the fact that student bodies change with each graduating
class while the continuity of the uinversity management must
continue uninterrupted.
It would seem that there must be recognition of the ul
timate responsibility that rests with the administrators who
devote their lives to the welfare and progress of a university,
just as there must be recognition of the fact that attending
an institution of higher learning is in reality a privilege
rather than a right a privilege that heretofore has been re
served to those who could demonstrate certain scholastic ac
complishments. Dr. Lord's point is well made.
LETTERS TO EDITOR
REMEMBER THIS? ....

Dear Elaine:
I'm not tin beM typlxt in the
world on this little portable
but It Is better than my hand
writing. We made n change In
plans because of the weather,
time and various reason, so we
did not go by Hemet on our
way here after all. Hope to get
to see David and his family on
our way home but not sure
about that yet.
As you know, we spent Christ
mas and Nov Years with our
niece and family t Sunnyvale,
then started south again along
the const. From Carmel to the
mountains Is the artichoke
center, and we drove through
thousands ot acres of the plants
in all stages of growth; it's
easy to see the resemblance to
the thistle family. The Big Sur
area is surely big and rugged
enough to be very Impressive,
but I was surprised at the lack
of trees along the coast. Most
of the time we drove where we
could look down the Jagged
cliffs into the rocky seacoast.
From San Simeon there were
rolling grassy hills from the
mountains to the seacoast
where beef and dairy cattle
abounded. By the time we got
to Santa Barbara we were into
he oil well country. The Santa
Barbara beaches are lovely and
we can see why they are up
n arms about the oil leakage
there. From Ventura east to Los
Angeles it was mostly homes
and business buildings inter
spersed with truck garden plots
on all level spots. The freeways
in L. A. are not too bad, pro
viding it is not necessary to
travel them during rush hours
and we saw to it we didn't.
We were blessed with nice
weather ail that time and until
we were ready to do some sight
seeing on Sunday, then it open
ed up and poured. At that time
we were located in a trailer park
between Signal Hill and Long
Beach airport right in the mid
die of the oil wells. Everywhere
we looked were the oil wells
like a flock of overgrown crass
hoppers bobbing their heads up
ana down as they ate and each
is operated by what appears to
do a motor similar to that on
small tractors which run night
ana aay. bunday mornins we
drove down and explored all the
ny-ways of Long Beach Harbor.
Did not see the Queen Mary as
iney are working her over get
ting ready to put on public dis
play. After lunch we drove
around by L. A. International
Airport up to Wilshire Blvd.,
through Beverly Hills to the Mu
seum and the LaBrea Fossil Pits.
They were just as fascinating as
we had expected and we in
spected them all in spite of the
soaking rain. By the time we
finished that we were so wet,
however, that we did pass up

Ponderings
By W. S. CAVERHILL
2 plus 2 equals 4?
It seems to me that our fiscal
experts who are toying with our
national economy are ignoring
a fundamental equation of sixth
grade arithmetic that 2 plus 2
equals 4. They assume that i
plus 2 equals 5, or 6, or 7. They
get the extra digits by inflation
of some sort. Whatever money
the government pours into the
economy must be recaptured
from it, if the process is to be
repeated. It cannot be done if
too much is spent in the low
income non -taxable brackets. A
wide exclusion of such low in
come citizens imposes an in
creased burden on others who
are already demanding a tax
cut. If they are given relief it
will involve deficit spending to
fill the pot. Maybe 2 plus 2
equals 5 or 6 or 7.

The next day we moved to
Garden Grove and went to have
a look at Knott's Berry Farm and
Ghost Town and on our way
stopped off at the Movielpnd
Wax Museum and Palace of Liv
ing Art. You probably have seen
that or one similar, but we spent
a couple of engrossing hours
there and enjoyed every minute
aon t know how they can
make them look so real. When
we got to Knott's Berry Farm
found the biggest part of it was
closed down because of the rain
earlier that morning. We had
lunch there and walked through
the shopping area and Inde
pendence Hall section. I have a
hunch that is the best part any
way, but we had no chance to
get in touch with Arch Murchi
son, which we had intended do
ing while there. Next day we
went to Disneyland only to find
that it was closed Mondays and
Tuesdays, then to the famous
car museum near Orange Co.
Airport to find it also closed
that day. Deciding they all were
in cahoots to save our money,
we drove clown to Newport Beach
for lunch. Went through main
part of the business district and
out onto the peninsula toward
Balboa, where we saw a nice
looking place called Woody's
Wharf with a very small park
ing area next to the street and
a small guest dock on the bay.
When we went in it was immed
iately apparent that it was an
exceedingly nice place indeed,
and one quite popular with ex
tremely well-to-do persons. We
were immediately ushered to a
nice table even though there
were some others waiting at the
bar. Now, this would not have
struck us quite so funny if we
had not dressed to be walking
through Disneyland in the rain
and two more eccentricly
dressed HICKS you could not
have found! Charles found his
straw hat leaked like every
thing in the rain, so was wear
ing his Stetson, mit boots,
whipcords and turtle neck
sweater I was sporting a skirt
and blouse with black coat
sweater and had at least slid
out of my snow boots into
pumps since it was not raining
I at the time. We decided later
that they probably thought we
had horses at Santa Anita or
Just walked off of our crummy
old Yacht In the harbor. Either
way we surely did wish that
you were with us as you could
have appreciated how hilarious
It all was, especlcl Rlnce the
table between us and the win
dow was occupied by a couple
fcllghtly younger than us and
an older man and woman. From
their conversation we discover
ed the older man was a friend
who Invited the others to sit
with him since they had wait
ed 20 minutes for a table. The
older woman was mother of
younger man and younger wom
an his wife. Mother was upset
because she had horses at San
tit Anita and tracks were closed
by strike? wanted to know If
she had chance of getting back
on entry fees but son thought
wouldn't get enough back to be
worth the bother probably not
enough to pay for the two new
suits he had Just ordered from
Scotland. Mother was bewailing
the fact that cost of feeding hor
ses, exercise boys, grooms, etc.,
went on were so high the own
er got hardly anything back.
Older man was quite put out
because taxes, upkeep costs and
help were making It almost pro
hikitive to maintain the three or
four estates most of them had
he intended to let a couple
go and just rent a place when
he went to the various tracks-
mentioning one in particular.
The others thought it was nice
but what would he do for gar
age space as there was only
room for two or three cars and
not much space for retinue. Two
young women on one side were
discussing present marital stat
us and travel; one was married
the last time at Monaco and
since they had nothing else to
do they toured Europe on hon
eymoon. Other one had not
been to Europe for a terrifically
long time must be all of five
years and didn't even have a
good map of Europe any more,
but supposed they would prob
ably hit the usual places on trip
this spring. Three men on an
other side were much perturbed
at the work to be done on their
yacht which was laid up in dry
dock. (We decided we just did
not know the troubles the poor
rich folks had, Tsk Tsk!)
Next morning we took off
down the coast again, intending
to stop and take a good look
at the Mission San Juan Capis
trano. Weather clear and sun
shining once more. While park
ing car and trailer to go to the
Mission, three very large bus
loads of school children were
admitted to tour the place so,
as usual we saved our time and
money and settled for talking
to the admission clerk, purchas
ing some slides of the place for
the grandchildren, and talking
for a bit with Indian clerk at
souvenir shop across the street
and obtaining story of the
swallows. Ate lunch in San
Elijo State Park where we
watched surfboarders trying to
ride the big Waves in to the
lovely beach. Drove on down to
San Diego where we located a
nice Trailer Ranch right on
north side of Mission Bay.
Next morning a storm was
moving in from the ocean so we
decided to be satisfied with do
ing our sightseeing from the
car. Drove over to Balboa Park
and followed the Scenic Drive
from there through business sec
tion and around San Diego Bay,
across to Sea World and around
Mission Bay. Couldn't see too
well or far because of the rain,
but it was better than nothing.
Hope to go back some time as
we liked San Diego better than
anywhere else along the coast
and would like to be able to
see more of it. Since the storm
was supposed to be extensive,
involving most of California, we
decided to take Highway No. 80
(8) directly east through El
Centra to Yuma. Hit clearer,
warmer weather by the time we
reached El Centro and had
warm clear night at Yuma.
Drove on to Phoenix following
morning and found temporary
parking at a brand new mobile
home park east of Mesa. Park
ed the trailer and headed east
for Apache Junction area where
we located a new park being
completed just west of the junc
tion (2 miles) and within a few
blocks of where we visited Har
ley and Alice Anderson many
years ago. We signed up to stay
here at least until March first so
we will retain the location even
if we should go other places for
short visits. The last two days
have been very busy locating a
rental trailer and arranging to
have it parked near us, for our
friends Lamer and Joy Sayrs of
Moro they will arrive about
Feb. 4. His mother and husband
have mobile home about 5 miles
west of here.
Went to see Ed and Ha Albert

from us, and yesterday located)

Sumner drove us out to his
ranch at Eight Mile, After

Onlv change we could notice
about him was that his thatch
of hair is pure white. He says
he leaves the Saturday night
whooping and hollering to the
young folks these days, ne iook
directions to our trailer as men
tioned bringing his wife out to
meet us. Stayed and visited him
so long did not get up to other
department to see Tommy Do
herty but will probably phone
and say hello. Tried to can ver
non and Faye Munkers, but
have not gotten through as yet
Have also contacted three fanv
Hies from the Moro area who
are wintering in this part of the
state.
It has been beautifully warm
and sunny as far as we are con
cerned even though the natives
seem to think It rather chilly.
May get down to about 45 de
grees at night but warms up
quickly in the mornings and
has been at least 70 degrees
during the days, with pleasant
sunshine. It is just as we hoped
it would be when we came. As
you can see, we have not had
much time for sitting around as
yet, but hope to do so soon.
Have come to the conclusion
that If retirement life is any
thing like this, aren't sure we
will have time for it.
Would you please tell Ye Edi
tors where we are and that we
are trying to enjoy it enough
for all of those who wished to
hitch on and come along with
us.
As ever,

Dear Editors:
Do you remember the Skuzes-
ki family who used to own a
Tailor shop on Main street?
Young John called me the other
evening and we did enjoy talk
ing about the Heppner news.
John and his wife, Marjorie
(Peterson), are the parents of
two sons who will graduate
from high school this spring and
be college material. John is the
Products Engineer at Jantzen
Knitting mills and specializes
in the swim suit department.
His mother owns a small
home at Yamhill and is near
the middle son, Walter. The
younger son, Ted, is the Con
trol room supervisor at McNary
on the Columbia river.
The Skuzeskis were in Phila
delphia last year and saw Peg
Tamblyn Frank. She is with the
Blue Cross. They now and then
drive into Eastern Oregon and
out into the John Day country
and say it is unbelievably beau
tiful there now.

Cessna, ho sturted the motor and
we lifted off the stuuuie neau
Ing for Redmond. It was a pleas
ant flight and, as you probably
already know, offers a wonder
fully different view of this grand
country. We passed below Con
don and not far away it seem
ed we could see the smoke laz
ily rising above Kinzua. We
were flying In a straight line
for Redmond, which Is a bit of
a diagonal from Heppner.
In Redmond we attended a
seminar presented by the NFO
who had brought Arnold E.
Paulson and his associate, Bob
Clinc, out from Minnesota. Mr.
Paulson operates the Minnesota
Business and Industrial rromo
tion Agency.
This was an all day session,
broken only by a luncheon at
noon. Mr. Paulson said all his
material had ben taken from
books prepared by the U. S. Gov
ernment. This was to show that
everything was based on eco
nomic facts.
He said agriculture is the lar
gest business in the world
60 of the investment of all in
dustries is in agriculture.
Mr. Paulson said private en
terprise could be described as
The Well , providing all mon
ey for wages and interest.
He said a number of govern
ment figures were highly ques
tionable because the method of
accounting had ben changed in
1965.
He said he had been associ
ated with Carl Wilken who had
traced the economic growth of
the United States from 1850. Par
ity he explained seems to
have become a dirty word, but
it actually is only a form of
measurement, determining val
ue in comparison with other
goods.
Reference was made in the
talks by Mr. Paulson and Mr.
Cline to a great number of ta
bles and graphs and figures on
about two dozen sheets they had
provided each one attending the
seminar. They explained that 70
million Americans live on the
gross income of agriculture and
that the national income is at
82 of parity.
"Now," said Mr. Paulson,
"debts are increasing 14' times
faster than farmers have the
ability to save up enough to
pay for them."
Wealth, he said, is not actu
ally in dollars but in commod
ities and goods.
He said borrowed money has
been substituted for normal
profitable operating. We have a
hundred billion interest on cap
ital and mortgage debt. 26c out
of every dollar earned goes to
pay the interest.
He feels the highest interest
rates in history are coming in
a very few months.
Mr. Paulson said it takes $4.87
gross income to pay one dollar
in savings.
He told of Dr. Keynes' theory
oi aencit nnanemg adopted by
the government in the 1930's. Dr.
Keynes, however, wanted a bal
ance. We have been in a mythical
prosperity based on. credit ex
pansion. It was pointed out that from
1940 to 1950 was the greatest
era of prosperity for farmers and
small businesses. In 1950 the
government deliberately manip
ulated the price index. He said
26 of California farmers will
not be financed this year by
their regular banking sources.
Some 70 of all resources in
the U.S.A. are agricultural. On
ly 16 of consumers' income
is spent for food, much less than
in communist countries. Fringe
benefits now received by labor
amount to more than all forms
of farm income.
He explained that importing
meat causes a chain reaction.
For every 2 pounds of meat
imported, we conserve 56 pounds
of feed grains, thus depressing
our own markets.
He feels between now and
August of this year is the most
crucial time in our country's

history. He feels methods must
change in financial government
al policies regarding agricul
ture. For every dollar of govern
ment subsidy, he added, the
government gets back $1.47 in
increased taxes. Mr. Paulson
says we must get back our sta
bility. There Is a vital need for
the restoration of parity. Turn
over of dollars from agriculture
is 7 times (one dollar of agri
cultural income spent generates
seven dollars in the economy of
the country.)
Agricultural prices could be

would increase consumer prices
only 1 plus about 6 on pro
cessed foods, griculture Is 70
billions short and since it af
fects so much of the population,

will in turn affect the entire

should be made directly to the
President.
The County Court is discussing
the possibility of having a sur
veyor's office and telephone an
swering service here in Morrow
County. Bob Baggett of John Day
has filed for the position of
county surveyor. His partner,
Mr. Griffith, also of John Day
would also be associated with
him in the operation of a sur
veying firm.
Judge Paul Jones said that
having surveyors here would be
of great value to the county in
order to have roads and ditches
platted properly. Judge Jones
said he would recommend an
item of $4,000 or $5,000 to be
added to the county budget as
much needs to be done over a
period of years to get rights of
way, etc., corrected.
