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.

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?

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.

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

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.
