Help When It's Needed!! t . . .... Amr.rlmn for things imagined and real. People of Heppner undoubted ly did their share and certainly the annual Fund drive has suffered. ...... o- But ewiyone vsho hus been around since the May Zj fl.iod has M.n first hand what the Red Cross is really for. It has been an eye-opening experience to see the speed with which they rushed people in to help and then the absolute 1m pnitial arici unrestrained assistance that was given. Their gift of over $10,000 to the people of Heppner is an outright gilt fiom the American people. There Is no obliga tion to icpav. This is tremendous. Our hat' is off to Tiny Sweeney who volunteered to work with the Red Cross caseworkers and to take over when they hud to leave. She Is tieing up the loose ends as the cases were closed at 25 days following the flood. She woi-ked untiringly to meet the people and help them to asccilain their needs. She explained the obligations the Red Cross would assume. She acted with all fairness, and impartiality in every way possible to provide assistance so people could get back into their homes. In carrying out its chapter responsibility to provide re covery assistance to disaster victims, the Red Cross responds to emergency calls for help once every 30 minutes, every day of the year. It is hoped Heppner doesn't have to call for help again but it was wonderful when it was needed. LETTERSEDITOR To Whom it May Concern: During both days of our Jun ior Rodeo the ambulance was needed. Isn't the Morrow County am bulance equipped with a two- way radio? Couldn't it have been sitting at the rodeo grounds as well as anywhere else and, if needed elsewhere been called? Or is the dust too hard to clean out? I've always understood when you left . a hospital with the ambulance they in turn noti fied the oncoming hospital where you were going. When we arrived in Pendleton Sunday night no one there knew we were coming. What if the ambulance would have broken down? Would we sit along the road with no one knowing or would the radio work? , Mrs. Bob Bergstrom Dear Mr. and Mrs. Heard: I wonder if you can find out from some former resident of Hurdman if that beautiful falls is still out in a field close to Hardman. I was born and raised In Heppner and spent my fresh man year at Hardman Hi with Marion Hayden, Rho Bleakman, Jaunita Carmichael. Beth.JIynd and some others who were born, there and should know. When you are young thesn things do not mean too much to young people, but I remem ber our class walked there and the water was dropping from high above into a mist way down into a semi circle below. I cannot even remember the name or where it was but I had never heard of such a falls in Morrow Co. before. So if it is still there it would really be a drawing card and something to really brag about. As I am older now I can see the beauty of something I took for grant ed and had never heard about it before then. Maybe you can ask someone from around Hard man and I would love for it to be there for someone younger to see, and remember after so many years as I do. Blanche (Groshens) Dempscy Hi Folks: Will you please change our mailing address for your de lightiuly newsy paper to Rt. 2, Box 197, Irrigon, Oregon. That way we won't miss any copies until we know just where on the Coast we'll be. We'll miss everyone in Hepp ner no place like it anywhere for friendliness! Sincerely, Leona (Mrs. Jay Huson) Dear Mr. and Mrs. Heard: The birds have been drinking and bathing In the bird bath now and I for one have been enjoying it very much. Cod bless you from all of us at the Nursing Home. Thank you, ; Mrs. Leona Small wood HEPPNTO Hi - fi Cross has been maligned Pioner Mem. Nursing Home Heppner, Oregon 97836 Letter to the Editor Dear Sir: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be Infringed. This is the plain language of the second amendment of our constitution. And it may be law fully changed only through pro visions of Article V of that great document: By action of approv al by three fourths of the states. Every time any of the legis latures of the 50 states or of the Federal Government in Washington convenes there is present a small group of well financed lobbies with well paid advocates who prepare and drop Into the legislative hopper one bill after another calculated to "Infringe" and harass the law abiding citizen in his constitu tional right to maintain the means of his and his families' self defense. The activities of these out of state lobby groups at Salem can best be compared to a victim of a runny nose In connection with a bad cold, their bills just keep dripping in. To put a stop to this monoton ous heckling of the law makers it has been proposed that Ore gon adopt an amendment to our constitution making these pro posed bills illegal and prohibit ing their subsequent dribble in to the legislative hopper. I1JK 29 introduced into the recent ses sion of the Oregon Legislature would have placed this proposal on the ballot at the next gen eral election and if approved by the voters would have stopped this outside meddling in Oregon affairs. Unfortunately this pro posed constitutional amendment was not acted upon by the leg islature. Another important bill was introduced into the legislature bearing title HR 1252. This was to be a statutory enactment of the right once taken for grant ed in America, the right to self defense and the defense of one's family and property. It may be necessary to circulate a petition to obtain t he signatures to place these two provisions before the people of Oregon, the Legislat ure having failed to bring them to a vote. Sincerely, Earl Glidewell Hermiston, Oregon 9783S Gordon Clarke On Aircraft Carrier Navy Fetty Officer Third Class Gordon D. Clarke, son of Dr. and Mrs. Gordon W.

Oregon's 1971 Congress Makes Reform Headway Secretary of State Clay My ers said today the 1971 legis lative session enacted more progressive reforms In Oregon's election laws than any legislat ure in recent years. "With these new laws, Oregon voters will now know more about the candidates and their campaign financing, before go ing to the polls, than voters in any other state, Myers said. Myers said Senate Bill 20 was a "major breakthrough In revising the Corrupt Practices Act. The bill's principal features include appointment of a sing le campaign treasurer through whom all in and out-of-state contributions must flow; report ing of all contributions and ex penditures 10 days prior to an election; and substituting the attorney general, in place of the county district attorneys, as the enforcement agency in cases of election law violation. "The public's right to know is paramount in a political cam paign," Myers said, "and these revisions in the Corrupt Prac tices Act will increase voter awareness of a candidate's fi nancial dealings." Another significant accomp lishment, Myers said, was pass age of House Bill 1144', which standardizes some of the infor mation candidates supply for the Voters' Pamphlet, such as age, education and professional and governmental experience. In addition, the candidate's picture may not be more than three years old. The League of Women Voters and the State AFL CIO joined the Secretary of State's office in sponsoring the measure. Myers also expressed satisfac tion over passage of House Bill 1020, which establishes a uni form election aide for special service districts throughout the state. "Every legislature since 1957 has considered this measure," Myers said, "and I am very pleased we were finally able to got it passed. Now we can standardize all the hundreds of small but very important spe cial service district elections that occur every year." A companion measure, House Bill 1115, providing that county clerks will supervise all spe cial service district and school elections, also gained passage this session, Myers said. The Secretary of State noted that a series of bills was pass ed to increase responsibilities for IS to 21 -year-olds. They in clude: House Joint Resolution 47, to ratify the federal constitu tional amendment lowering the voting age to IS in all elec tions; Senate Bill 552. to make 18 to 21-year-olds eligible to run for delegate to national party conventions and for national committeeman and committee woman; Senate Bill 5S3, to make IS to 21 -year-olds eligible to serve on Juries; Senate Bill 5S2, to permit minors, 18 years and older, to engage in valid and binding contracts.
