Do You Really Care?
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.

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.

Names are so important and
the name Henry U real Import
ant In the Kreb' homes, lli-nry
appears as a first or middle
name frequently. 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".
HAPPINESS IS having Char

becue beef, the breakfast In the
park. Sam would sit on the pat
io and take deep breaths of car
air and would say "that air is
the greatest".
Then that Isn't all. When they
knew I fouled up my film and
lost my parade pictures more
"Happiness Is" came In the
mail in the form of a bright
red folder with all of the pic
tures they had taken of the pa

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. Mrs. Winches
ter has started saving for the
next load for Howard Day to
take down to Canada
