VOTE MAY 26. It Would Be Helpful If . . . the Jaycees, the Soroptimists. American Legion or Lions Club sponsored a "Meet the Candidates Night." There may be quite a number of people in the area who are not acquainted with the candidates running for county offices. There's two Republicans and two Democrats running for the office of County Commissioner. There's three running for the office of County Assessor. No competition in the offices for County Judge or Port Commissioners. Such a meeting could provide the candidates with an op portunity to let people know how they feel about present Conditions and what plans , they might have for Improve ment. Questions from the audience could be hclpfuL The emcee would require a strong sensr. if humor and a firm rein to prevent any arguments. But U could be a worthwhile evening for both voter and candidate. Parade Time . . . Coming The theme for this year's Morrow County Fair parade Is "Happiness is . . ." This theme was submitted by Mrs) Ran dy Lott for which she will receive some free tickets. The theme should prompt a wide variety of floats.

He has also planted a plot of beans and manioca. The local people will harvest the beans for half of the crop and then Orison will have sweet potatoes planted which will take about a year. then he will turn a number of hogs loose in the field and they will harvest them and grow fat for market. The Brazilians like their hogs fat to butcher. We have about twenty cows and calves now. They are the zebu type from India and we have to milk about six of them to get three gallons of milk for the house. We have about ten pigs to begin with. My Grandfather or your Fath er would have had an exciting time in Brazil for they could live over much of the pioneer type of life as In Heppner. There is so much unused grassland In every direction and much to be learned about what to do with it. The country has rolling hills as around Heppner and always very green. We live on top of a plateau area but on each side are valleys. One of the advant ages of Brazil is abundant cheap labor for the people work for one and two dollars a day and so one can accomplish a good deal without machinery and it is better for the local peo ple to give them a Job. They eat rice and beans for the most part but do have some fruit trees in the back yard but that does not go far with so many in the family. Everyone is very friend ly and glad that we are here. Tell the Lowe boys hello and any relatives that might pass by and remember I think of you even if the letters are slow, Louise and Orison Murdock Dear Editor: Just a note to say that I en Joy the paper. I was out in Heppner back in 1937 in the C.C.C. camp near the rodeo grounds. I visited the town a couple of years ago while on vacation, that is when I subscribed to the G-T. I met Jim Driscoll the P.M. at that time and found out that he had been at the camp also but somehow I never nkew him then. I correspond with Josephine Mahoney Baker but I have not met her as yet I first saw a letter of hers in the G-T about the camp and we have exchang ed many letters since. I find the paper interesting so send It for another year and best luck to you all at the G-T. Sincerely yours, Daniel E.

CAVERHHX To the Editor: One man writes that because of the riot at the University of Oregon he will oppose the 19 year old vote. I am a 29 year old computer programmer, and to mc the riot is one more reason to vote FOR Ballot Measure 5 to lower the voting age to 19. In the first place, there were approximately 400 students in volved out of a possible maybe 20,000. That's a healthy 98 per cent who are not troublemakers. Secondly, I know these SDS members, anarchists, and other radicals, modern-day-know-noth- ines-who-attend-college, are not representative of today s youth. They are a minority of noise makers who can take the center-scene because we disenfran chise the responsible 98 per cent, and there is no meaningful way for them to participate now. Lower the voting age to 19 and I predict the voice of re sponsible, participating, young people will drown out the harsh cacaphonies of these nuts and anarchists who now enjry the center stage by default.
