You're a good American citizen, you aayT Do you really and truly care enough about America to take the trouble to go to the polls and cast your vote? America or anything else is Just as important as you think it is. And it is just as important as you make It. Of course, you're rlcht. Your single solitary little ole vote won't make any difference. Nor will all the other sing le solitary ole votes. Or will they? Morrow County for some years has had the rare distinc tion of having a top voting record in respect to the size of its population. Well, Folks, let's show 'em we know our way to the polls Nov. 3. Let's show 'cm this is where the good guys live. Herman Winter Tells About Measures Herman Winter, Morrow County District Attorney, has ap peared before a number of organizations at their request and explained the measues that will appear on the general election ballot.) The first 8 measures were referred to the people by the legislative assembly. The last 3 ballot measures were placed on the ballot by the citizens through Initiative petition. The Portland metropolitan area will get to vote on an additional measure, No, 12, which is a serial levy to finance Tri-Met. Ballot Measure Mo. 1 Purpose of this amendment would permit the legislature to convene itself in a special session upon concurrence of a majority of the members of both house. Now, the legislature meets in odd numbered years and the governor, only, can convene a special session. The Governor last called a special session to consider a sales tax. Some members of the legislature have asked for special sessions since the 1969 session but the governor has refused. There Is no idea how much this might cost the tax pay ers. The 19C9 legislature cost approximately $12,000 per day and it lasted over five months. Ballot Measure No. 2 Provides that the federal Income tax law shall automat ically apply in Oregon on Oregon state Income tax when pass ed by Congress. However, the legislature when in regular session may review congressional changes and may modify or reject them. This 1 a housekeeping amendment to permit us to ap ply the same income tax rules on our state income tax dur ing non-legislative years like 1970 and apply changes passed by Congress after our legislature adjourned In odd numbered years. Ballot Measure No, 3 This would permit the counties to Incur indebtedness over $5000 and up to $50,000 in only two areas: 1. Contracts for state services, and 2. Contracts to purchase or lease property. An example would be a two year lease calling for an nual payments of $10,000. Counties couldn't enter such a lease becase the 2nd year rent would exceed the $5000 debt limitation. 3. Would permit counties to purchase lands for expansions of future facilities up to ten year limit by con tract, which they cannot do now. Ballot Measure Mo. 4 Would permit the state to play the stock market with funds donated or bequeathed to higher education and try to get some appreciation in value instead of simple bank inter est Ballot Measure No. 5 No known opposition. Bonds equal to 3 of state's true cash value have been sold. The legislature raided some $15,000 to $18,000 million in surpluses from the funds al ready. This Veterans Loan fund has always made money. Ballot Measure No. S Would prevent another Lee Johnson-Thornton fight Pres ent incumbent serves until his successor is elected or quali fied. Ballot Measure No. 7 Would, In effect, allow' the state to use its credit by selling Its bonds at lower rates of Interest and the state pur chasing school district bonds which lately haven't always sold. Then ss the school districts pay the state, it would in turn pay off Its bonds. Ballot Measure No. No comment Allows penal Institutions anywhere In Ore gon Instead of just Marion County. Ballot Measures 9. 10 and 11 are the most controversiaL Boilot Measure No, 9, the Scenic Waterways BUL This originated in the legislature and they wound up getting in a big hassle and amending the bill all out of pro portion. By the time they compromised on it, it passed in the final days and there wasn't time by law to become a legislative referral so conservation minded citizens got enough signatures to get it on the ballot Ballot Measure No. 10 Sponsored by the Oregon Education Assn. and Oregon Assn. of School Administrators and Ore. School Boards Assn. Two thirds of Oregon schools have no tax base at alL They have to have a vote every year, in order to raise any funds. Measure provides that the operating budget of a dis trict for the fiscal year 1970-71 shall be the new tax base and the 6 limitation would apply to the new base. Mr. Winter recommends everyone carefully study each measure. On Ballot Measure No. 11, the measure applies to the zoning, sub division or building code legislation affecting land outside of city limits. It would prohibit the county or state or any other governmental unit from Imposing zoning without a vote of the people "of the area affected." It would also give land owners an opportunity to have initiative and referendum powers over zoning and building code legislation. Hand Me Downs Count There are so many places to welcome your hand-me-downs that no one should throw anything away that is useable at all. Mrs. Mervln Leonard collects and delivers items for the feastern Oregon State Hospital For her last delivery, she received a letter of appreciation from June Neal, director of volunteer services. She writes "We are always in need of craft items and the appliances are dispersed as soon as they are repaired. Convey our thanks to your community for their concern and interest." Mrs. Leonard urges people to bring her Christmas cards, appliances such as TVs, radio, air conditioners, coffee pots, toasters. They will use nylon hose, plastic beach bottles, bread wrapper, old catalogues, magazines, toilet tissue tubes and paper towel tubes. These are all used in their craft work. Lois Winchester's pet project is the Navajo Indians. She collects items for them. She will accept clothing, books, games. Pat Brindle appreciates items for the Neighborhood Cen ter. This includes clothing, all sizes, for all members of the family. They can use all kinds of craft items, foam rub ber scraps, sequins, jewelry, fancy buttons, lace, ric-rac, sat in, velvet burlap. Also they like to have on hand Individual cans of soup fruits and vegetables. These make appreciated prizes for their Bingo parties. TO THE EDITOR. . . Gentlemen: While bird hunting at a ranch a short distance from Heppner.

The rancher next to where I was hunting, came to the. house and told us that some one had deliberately shot and killed one of his cows with a shot gun. The cow was grazing on his ranch near the main highway. 3. A friend of the rancher has a trailer house on a creek a few miles from the ranch. Someone shot the locks off the gate to the creek, broke Into the cabin, I destroyed a number of items j and took some along with them.

Small boy's definition of a conscience: ' 'Something that makes yx tell your mother be fore your sister does." An elderly woman walked up to the registry window of the post office and announced she wanted to register. "Register?" the clerk asked. "Yes sir," she said. "I heard that all aliens are supposed to register, and I've sure been ail in' lately." Dear Mr. and Mrs. Heard: We are enclosing check for five dollars. Please renew our subscription for the Gazette.

We hove the right to the pur suit of happiness, but we don't enjoy It when we are tired out chasing it Pioneer Ponderings By W. S. CAVERHHX SOME TRAILS LEFT As we see the network of for est roads spreading over the Blue Mountains, we find the importance of "trails" on the way out Many people who have enjoyed "trailing" into the back country deplore the trend. However, there are a few trails left that will tax their stamina, and bring a lather un der the shoulder straps of their "back-boards." Rough Fork on the Walla Walla Bear Creek on the Grande Rhonde, Silver Butte, and Lake Creek, on the North Fork of the John Day. If these do not satisfy you, try the trails of the Strawberry Wild erness area. When you get "hardened-ln" try the Wallow-as.

What is renlly amazing Is thitt 111 three sons of Henry Kreba have Henry as their middle name: Clinton Hen ry, Skye Henry and Glen Henry. Henry and DiU thought their family was complete with June and Clint and then "out of the sky" came their 3rd one so that is how he hapiened to be nam ed "Skye".

Navajos Send Thank You' Mrs. Lois Winchester has re ceived a heartfelt thank you from the G ana do Presbyterian Mission to the Navajo Nation. They sent Lois a big thank you for the many, many boxes of clothing, food and books but asked her to thank all those from Heppner and Morrow County who contributed so gen erously. Women from the Navajo Christian Fellowship distributed some and transferred the rest to the Clothing Room. They were appreciative of the books which have been put in the Study Room. This is a place the mission has provided for the Navajo young people who need a place to study and also for some tutoring. They mentioned too the way the clothing had been packed: men, women and children in separate boxes.
