Worryworts
Most of us do a lot of useless worrying- Statisticians at
the University of Wisconsin estimate. that, on the average,
some 4CT of our worrying U ut things that never hap
ten . . 30 Involves things over and past that can t be
charged by worrying ... 22 are petty and needless wor
ries . . . leaving only 61 that can be considered legitimate
worries!
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

The Consumer's Lament
(Ed. Note): Hilda Justus Peterson brought In this prohibit

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.

What If We Should
If we should accomplish birth
control to avoid a population ex
plosion, w hat will become of the
economic forecasters who base
industrial growth on population
Mnlosion. A level population
rni -roAwt the demand for
cmrvts and services in every ar
ea. There would be no need for
Industrial expansion. Some In
dustries would stagnate. Worse
than that, the U. S. would be
vulnerable to the extreme pres
sure of heavy populations in
Asia. Africa, and South America.
They would find ways to dis
rupt our sphere of influences,
and stifle our growth.

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

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Heard:
I was given a Heppner Gazette-Times.
In this paper there was a pic
ture from 1913 of the 7th & 8th
graders. The picture of wiuetta
Barrett was identified wrong, it
should have been Helen BarratL
Wiletta was in the 3rd grade
at that time.
1 was born and raised in Hepp
ner. Graduated with the class of
1919. I was married in 1924 to
Ervin Reiman of St Maries, Ida
ho, after graduated from O.A.C.
in Corvallis in 1923.
Mv parents moved to Portlana
not long after I left Corvallis, so
I haven't visited Heppner much
since then.
My father and mother, vu-
liam and Elza Barrett come to
Heppner in the late 1800's.
Mv sister Wiuetta is now
Mrs. Fred Hodecker and lives in
Redmond. My youngest sister,
Margaret is now Mrs. John Helt-
zel and lives in baiem.
I hope to get back to Hepp
ner again someday. Will try to
stop by and see you If I do.
Sincerely,
Helen Barrattt Reiman
