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. It Is
a perfect "Peanuts" take-off for any kind of business or or
ganization. Happiness Is . . . going barefoot In an Inch of dust . . .

over a thousand banana plants.
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

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.

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. McArdle

Ponderings
By W. S. 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.
