Bad Medicine One prominent psychiatrist. Dr. Bruno Bettleheim. believes the mental health of young people bIn damaged by their disrespect for authority figures, their contemptuous attitudes toward police, their attacks on national leaders and the civil disobedience movement . Dr Bettleheim believes that young people need adults who can serve as models who are willing to assert their authority and who themselves respect authority and the law. Adults who do not reflect these values may be leading youth into unhappiness and maladjustment Memorial Day in May On this May 30th, all of us Join in a salute to our hon ored war dead. The poppy has become the traditional flower for American war dead. Wearing a poppy now honors the dead and, at the same time means employment for the dis abled veterans who fashion the paper flowers.

That was no lady, that was my son." The Consumer's Lament (Ed. Note): Hilda Justus Peterson brought In this prohibit ion days poem written about the Heppner saloons. She found it In among the papers of the late Ralph Justus. Jan. 1, 1916 THE CONSUMER'S LAMENT How dear to my heart was Heppner, the wet town; When whiskey was plenty, I never was dry; The Gin Fizz and Cocktail, I always did down them, And drank lots of Hop Gold and Schlitz on the sly. Hostetter and Lash's I always was taking, And Old Billy Taylor I'd never pass by; And dear Cyrus Noble my thirst I did slake in Those wet days in Heppner, for them now I sigh. Peach Brandy and Ginger, Oh! how I adore them, A shag of Old Crow would hit the right spot; The good Buttered Rums, how often I stored them With not Tom and Jerrys I have never forgot Farewell to the High Ball, farewell Rock and Rye, Ko more the Gin Rickey or Absinthe is nigh. There is never a sign of the good old home brew; Oh! Tell me what all the dry rancners wui ao. No more in the morning the rounds we'll be making, No good mornings-morning to gladden our eye; Our nerves gone to pieces, our teeth Just a shaking; Oh. it's hell when you can't get a shot of Cream Rye. The following scenes show the occupations of saloon propri etors six months after date, and the good and bad ending of the various heretofore Alcohol Artists. THE ROCK SALOON Frank Monahan's gone sheep raising to do; He has started a band with three bucks and a ewe. Frank Roberts is now with, the Allies in France As war correspondent on Conders Free Lance. THE FROG POND Vic Groshens departed, but since has been seen Commanding a German submarine. Bill Lillard. his reason did never regain; He was sent to the Home for the Hopeless Insane. FANTS SALOON H. Fant, so high toned, at him people now stare; They did not expect he would be a millionaire. Cleve Adklns discarded hw evil ways And is writing moving picture plays. Hank Howell, he left for the city's good. And discovered hot springs on the top of Mt. Hood. THE BRICK Dave McAtee now from the platform is giving A lecture on War and the High Cost of Living." George Aiken invented a process that cleans The explosive energy out of beans. THE PALACE BAR Cold Storage eggs and armor plate ham, I am Joe Wllkins, the Great I am Jim Wilson went broke and his money spent; He does chores for his board at Monument Walt Duncan broke down from financial strains; He stood out in the wind and it blew out his brains.

Norway May 20, 1970 Dear Mr. Heard: A letter to the editor seems an appropriate method to use to recognize the outstanding con tribution, citizenship wise, a number of high school students have made to Morrow County. Eight students from the three high schools have been active members of the Morrow County Juvenile Advisory committee this year. As such they have had equal responsibility and equal opportunity to be heard when speaking to Issues at hand and making plans for future . ht student mem policy and action ot tne com bens u Pat Kilkenny, Molly gp, (HHS). KrisUn Nelson Jov Reees (IHS). Bruce Buchan- bers chosen at large). Other students who have at tended one or more meetings are Craig Cutting, Jim Healy, Gwen Drake. Darlene warren, Mark Lovgren, and Denis Robins. The students themselves have heen candid when asked for tnelr reactions to their member know what's going on I felt some of the adults wouldn't reaUy respect my opm . r 1 . . 1 1 ... j0n because tney ieu mey miuw morei an(j believed me not real- lv resDonsible.' "I didn't feel that some of tnem were really listening to us 1 feel the student on mis should be one not involved with numerous other activities so he can attend every time, I would like to have more emphasis on THE LAW part of it." "I think some of the student members should be ones who have been in Juvenile Court and know what it's like." The unanimous opinion of adult members and resource people is that the students made an exceedingly important con frihlltif.n to the work 0f the ad ...it.nrv mmmittee this year. Con Liberation should be given to in creasing the number and ar ranging for observers, An advisory committee ior county Juvenile departments is mandatory for counties of over 10,000 population, according to state law. For counties of less n.!,.;,,,! t is permissive. . 1 . . .for tne Morrow county juvcuuc . t in October, 1968, Judge Paul Jones made the or ganization of such a committee nard rherty, Mrs. Ron Gray, a very strong airetuve. mis. Rev. Dirk Rinehart, Mrs. Larry Cook. Mrs. Leland McKinney, and Mrs. Conley Lanham com Drised the committee during my first year. They also deserve rec ognition for their euorts on oe half of the Juvenile department The present membership Is twenty four including students. The major emphasis for the committee since its organization has been to become acquainted with the Juvenile court system and its relationship to tne com munity. The committee plans to implement some programs gear ed toward delinquency preven tion in the future. Judee Paul Jones has the pow er to appoint members to the Juvenile advisory committee. He will be receptive to nominations submitted to him ty maivnau als or organizations. It Is a com mittee worthy of the time and energy required. Sincerely, Grace E. Drake 3600 N.
