LETTERS10 1,8 EDITOR Sit in the Shade Where? It tins been called to our uttentlon that there's no place to sit in Hit' shade along Main St. A number of people in town ii-e ji cune. These people in particulur need to sit and i-st once in awhile. Win n- better to sit than on the shady side of the street? While you sit and rest and watch the people go by, an old friend is likely to stop by and talk awhile. This Is a double bonus and that Is what makes this small town even more precious. We do need some benches on both sides of Main Street. So Simple and Easy Do you have a bundle of old Betty Crocker coupons stuck back in some drawer? Get them out and add them to your current ones and donate them to buy an artificial kidney machine, please. Mrs. Joel Enclemnn of lone has been appointed Morrow County chairman for this worthwhile project. All Individuals and organizations are asked to promote the collection of the coupons. Later it is suggested that collection points be named in each community where the coupons can be left. After the coupons have been counted In each county, they will be sent to the state chairman who will in turn deliver them to the Kidney Association office in Portland. The Kidney Association of Oregon has made an agree ment with General Mills that If It will send 640,000 Betty Crocker Coupons, General Mills will issue a check to KAO for $.'1200 so that a kidney machine may be purchased for an Oregon patient. An American Institution A couple of years ago, the bandwagon had a lot of riders supporting gun control legislation. In the controversy over the subject, those citizens who happened to own or believe in the right of ownership of firearms were looked upon as something out of a Neanderthal past. For the time being, the controversy has tapered off, and the public Is even be ginning to learn more about the kind of people who have upheld gun ownership. The latter group includes sportsmen, conservationists and simply independent-minded people who see ownership of a firearm as representative of individual re sponsibility under self-government. . No organization has done more to present the vast body Of gun owning citizens In the proper light than the National Rifle Association. An example of its work was evident during the 1970 Annual Meeting of the NRA. More than 10,000 gun fanciers toured the exhibits of antique and modern firearms and related accessories at the organization's 99th Annual Meet ing. Almost every state in the Union, several Canadian prov inces and a number of foreign countries were represented at the gathering. Awards were presented to members of the As sociation for outstanding efforts In behalf of local NRA clubs. These clubs, established across the country, carry on activi ties directed toward firearm training, safety and marksman ship. During one session at the NRA meeting, an official of the Fish and Wildlife, Parks and Marine Resources of the U. S. Department of the Interior urged the NRA and its members to continue their conseravtion work and assist in the devel opment of new programs and techniques to better man's en vironment. Other high-level government officials attending the meeting presented their views on law enforcement, crime and related matters. As was obvious to anyone attending the NRA meeting, this organization of more than a million law abiding, gun owning citizens Is one of the most constructive influences in the country on the side if law, order and citi zen responsibility. It is a typically American institution. Our Twisted Economy Our economy is badly twisted and the 'twisters" are not doing much to straighten it out. The contention that increased wages plus a cost of living Increase will remedy the situation is a falacy. That program is no way to fight inflation. It invites, in fact, in sures higher prices and increas ed cost of living. A healthy econ omy requires a reasonable ex pansion of our capital structure if it is accompanied with a cor responding increase in produc tion, but it cannot support all the "go, go" enterprises construc ted on paper, without inviting disaster. CHUCK WAGON Mike Lott recently had an ac cident with his bike while rid ing with his brother. When he fell, he landed hard on his chihn and a number of stitches were required.

The Gazette-Times Heppner, Oregon Thank you for the reminder, as we don t want to miss one issue of our favorite paper. Mr. & Mrs. W. L. Haskett 616 E. Carson Torrance, Calif. Space No. C-2 90502 TO THE EDITOR - Dear Editor: Enclosed Is our check for re ncwal of the "G-T" for another year. We look forward to its coming each week but last week we didn t get it. Each week I receive an inter esting letter from my busy sis ter, Eva Hudson, but she never writes what she thinks I can get from the G T. That helps to keep us in touch with the old home town. However, this year we're taking a hard look at all publications coming up for re newal and several we've enjoyed for years are getting the ax be cause of the inflationary trend. Our best wishes to you all. Thomas J. Wells 1000 S. E. Friedel Heppner, Oregon By: Neva Thank you very much, gen tlemen. Sincerely yours, GEORGE L. HICKS SP4. 543-32 -WW Director of Scvs HIIC. USARSL'PTHAI APO 9C233 Dear Dot and Charles: Please accept my grateful thanks for your printed article about Mr. Howard Day and his desire to help our destitute Nav ajo Indians of Arizona. It was touching that his greatest con cern, seemed to be for the In dian children and their sad con dltions from malnutrition, lack of oroner clothing, shelter and toys. I would also like to thank the generous hearted people of Mor row County, who have shown so mucn compassion lor inose less fortunate people of Navajo Land by their donations of good and useful clothing, (some beau tiful articles still In bags, just from the cleaners), furniture, food, bedding, books, rug ma terial, waft Items, toys, useful household Items of all kinds, etc. If local papers in other towns would advertise collecting spots for this worthwhile cause, I'm sure more people wouia dc thankful for a place to leave the items they wish to share with the Navajo Indians. They are proud people and have not asked for help, but I cannot help but mention this beautiful, bountiful unpolluted country all belonged to the In dians in the first place. Those desiring to help could contact Mr. Howard Day, Box 419, Her miston, Oregon 97838. He will be taking a box car load of help to them in August. Kind regards, Mrs. Lois Winchester Dr. Dear Editor: I saw an article in your last paper, about a couple or docu ments of "The Episode of Hepp ner Flood, 1903". Enclosed please find 25c for which please send me those doc uments. I, too, lived in Heppner at the time and saw Heppner washed away.
