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.

cident with his bike while rid

required.

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.

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
