LETTERS to EDITOR I!, mum I Vote Yes - Swim Later If you're planning to get an early start to see the Westward Ho parade or for any other reason you're going to be out of town on Sept. 17, plan NOW to vote Absentee Ballot on the City bond issue. If you're not leaving until after 8 o'clock in the morning, you can vote in the regular polling place at the City Hall. The polls will be open that clay from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. The $94,000 bond will cost about $1.31 to $1.33 per thousand dollars true cash value of your property, depending on the interest rate. It is assumed that the bonds will be sold for 5 to fi'o interest. Repayment will be over a period of 15 years. According to County Assessor Joyce Bergstrom, the average true cash value of house in Hc-ppner is $8,000 to $12,000. Someone with a house with a true cash value of $10,000 the cost is $13.10 a year to repay the bond. The bond will pay for three bridges, sewer and water pipe line and power pole relocation, guard rail along Cannon St. and restoration of the swimming pool. It is imperative that the bond issue pass, because the Shobc channel improvement planned by the Corps of Engineers is based on the City financing the relocation of the utilities. This relocation cost is estimated at $16,000. Last week the good news was received from Mr. Baxter of the FHA that Heppnor's application for 50 help on this item Mad been approved. The city had previously assumed that the application would he approved and had reduced the original $24,000 for this item to $16,000. Thereby reducing the original total bond issue of $102,000 to the $94,000 as presented. If it becomes necessary for you to vote absentee ballot on Sept. 17, pick up your ballot at the City Hall five days before. Under emergency conditions, absentee ballots may be picked up within the five day period before the election. PLEASE VOTE Dear Editors: Dear Charlie and Dorothy Don't you .lust luve movies? Ii saw a real thriller recently and I always look forward to re thought you might like to hearjeeiving our "home town" paper about it. The scene opens amid ' but so disappointed to see that preparation for a national elec- ( ione has no news again. Maybe lion, me nero is ine incumoem I should write it from here!? nesiueru wnu lines ins jou cause it is loaded with bennies, private helicopters, limousines, etc. He has some opponents though, and (not being just anyone's fool) he passes a law requiring the other Presidential aspirants to get the endorsement of 40 or more province chiefs in order to run against the President. The fiend!! This eliminates one opponent right off cause his supporters are mostly in the citv. and the chiefs are rural folk. Oh well, land and stopped in for a chat rumor has it that some senator and staved overnieht. Mr. and claims he was a heroin trafficker Mrs. Vern Dalzell were our euests so maybe it's just as well. But, i for two nights while Vern was jil-umi-i wun pui tmB """ having a check up with his doc L i h t hPPn iid . and having dental work done We are former Morrow county residents until three years ago we moved to Portland to manage the Cabana Motel on 882nd Ave, Just last week we saw Mr. and Mrs. Cleo Childers, Harvey, Laurie and Roger. They were down on business for B & C Re pair Shop and stopped in and ate dinner with us. Mr. and Mrs. Keith Rea and family were shopping in Port ALL ABOUT HORSES By D WIGHT STEWART John Johnston of Lou Vegas, Nevada asks I am trying to teach my two-year-old Arabian to come to a sliding stop. He stops on his front feet and bounces. He is very rough to ride when he stops. A cowboy told me to take his front shoes oil and rasp his leet. Will this help him to slide. To teach a horse to stop properly and slide is not easy. First we must understand that some horses have a natural way of stopping and some do not. Those who stop naturally, are much easier to train than the othersHowever, all horses can be'taught to slide a little ways. It is not advisable to slide a two-year-old, much for his bones are not set and there Is danger of injury to his hocks. A colt must be taught that whoa means stop. This is best done at the jog or trot by squeezing with both legs and saying 'whoa' at the same time,, taking a light hold on the reins. The leg squeeze drives his hind legs under him and the reins elevate the forequarters. This ia collection, for the rider increases impulsion and so brings the hind feet closer to the front. When the colt can stop correctly going slow, speed can be gradually increased but form must not be sacrificed for speed. 'No shoes in front (or sore feet) is not the answer. The colt will "shorten his stride at the walk and he will not go forward . freely, "usually he will start switching his tall, Sally Kite of Austin, Texas writes -- My quarter horse mare has a filly nearly three months old. They are in a pasture with plently of green grass but sometimes I 'see the mare eating weeds or leaves from the trees and even moss in the lake. Will this harm her or the filly? I would say that your mare and filly have nearly ideal con ditions. When we watch a mare grazing we find she eats manv different things. Nature seems to tell her what is needed to balance her diet. She eats different grasses, a few weeds and some leaves from a tree. From these she gets the proteins, the vitamins and the minerals she needs to keep her and the foal healthy and fat She must produce a lot of milk for this. Brood mares love moss from a lake and it does no harm to the foal. Standing in the water is good for the mares and at the same time they are teaching their young not to be afraid of the water. During the long dry summer the moisture Is good for their icet. you are iortunate in having a pasture where all these things ure avanaoie. a Lommunist. But what's this? Horror of hor- ors! The commie says the elec tion is rigged and he won't run. (As if this were anything to say to the highest official in the nation.) Pooh Pah!! Well, it looks like the old President wins hands down. Hold it! Who's this new character en tering the picture? What recon dite consequences can he con jure? Why it's an ambassador from another country. Seems there has been a war going on for some time to guarantee this election and this other country wants it to at least look honest. Well, this certainly adds a new twist to an already thickening plot. After intermission we find that the new arrival has convinced the old President to repeal his new law requiring approval of the province chiefs and they have reinstated the heroin traf ficker as a candidate. After all, who would vote for the rascal? Hold it again, another hot flash! The pot head says he won't run cause the elections are rigged. Now where did we hear that before? Oh yeah, from the other candidate who withdrew earlier that's where! Wow, this is excit- ng. This really throws the am bassador into a tizzy. Where is he going to get some more op ponents and at such a late date? Oh, well, why not just one can didate, they do in Russia? But, what of the lives lost, the bil lions spent to enable free elec tions, what of the worthy goals of self-determination and free dom and democracy? A chance for the ignorant, peasants to reg ister their thoughts on taxation, Keynesian economics, wages and price discrepancies, inflation etc.? What of the 15,7years of war, Is'all.-.forndtKing? The last scene shows'" the ambassador frantically trying to rig a fair election that the old President can win. But when the film breaks. . . . Rats!!!! Just when it was really getting exciting. But the management promises the film will be repaired and ready to show again October 23. Won't that be fun!!! Sincerely yours, SP4 Thomas W.

Walt Salmon photo Wolf-Hinton Rites Read at Boardman P ioneer Ponderings By W. S. CAVERHILL It is being suggested that our newly founded voters attend ing lulloge at election time be nl lowed to register and vote in the campus area. That plan Is not in the best Interest of their home precincts. It excludes them from taking part in elec tions of local and county offic ials, but, it will enhance the political prestige of the large colleges and universities. I as sume that the older electorate away from home will still have to use the absentee Ballot. Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Hem of UiComb and their daughter Katherine and Carl Keen were here for the holiday weekend visiting his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Merritt Gray. Judge Borratts Leave For Arizona Judge and Mrs. Garnet Bar ratt are leaving- this week for their adopted home at Mesa, Arizona. They enjoyed an an nual summer stay In Heppncr.

Sunday Snack Mr. and Mrs. Dan Thompson iifcui Mr. and Mrs. Dean Oilman were guests of Mr and Mrs. Charles Heard at a Sunday evening snack. The occasion was the Heard's wedding anniversary- Mr. Editor: Do you have room in your fine paper for an old soldier and a reformed hunter to plead in the defense of our native doves? Each year over 70 percent of all doves in North America are el iminated. A' few by the forces of nature, but by far the large majority by bird hunters. According to information from the Department of the Interior, the annual legal kill exceeds 39 million doves. The cripple lasses exceeds 26 percent of the bag. This leaves over 10 million broken and pining birds to suf fer days, even weeks before death sets them free. For dormant targets millions more are killed with arrows, slingshots, BB guns and small rifles, but never picked up. The kicks are in seeing them fall. In just ending a life. While the blood bath stains our land. As a friend of the farmer a dove eats up to 10,000 noxious weed and grass seed each day of its life. There are about 2.5 ounces of meat to each dove, and they are the only birds hunted while brooding their young in the nest. The dove has long been the emblem of innocence, purity, beauty, peace, life, love, hope and immortality. Since the bap tism of Jesus the dove has been the symbol of the Christ Spirit living on in the hearts of men. To each admirer of animated art, doves are birds of living beauty, and their voice gives the sweetest notes this side of heaveon. The doves' domestic desires are to be man's garden companions, and the guardians of his pastures, fields and vine yards. There ought to be laws, state and federal, giving the Mourn ing Doves back to a kinder, gen tle people, for the beloved birds they so truly are. Howard H. Caudle To the Editor: A few days before the Heppner rodeo Sid Britt who operates a ranch on Butter Creek called in and entered the Morrow County Calf Roping. On the afternoon the books were closed his wife received a phone call that Sid would not be able to compete in this event as he holds a card pens to be the Northwest Rodeo in an association, (which hap pens to be the Northwest Rodeo Association). Randy was told this was made a new rule for this year. When Sid arrived home from work just 30 minutes before the books closed he called the rodeo office and asked to speak to whoever made this new rule but no one would talk to him. In the 9 years I have been sec retary for the NRA Sid has never won any money in the Calf Roping. True he is one of our top competitors but Bareback Riding is his main event and the only other event he has won any money in this year is Bull Dogging. If he were a Calf Roper he definitely would enter this event as it would help him to ward the Ail-Around for the year. Not too long before the Hepp ner rodeo there was an article on the front page that anyone living in Morrow county would be able to enter the rodeo. Sid could not enter any events except the Morrow County events as he is not an RCA member and being an NRA member he can not enter an RCA rodeo that has a purse under $3,000. Since this new rule was made this year that anyone who holds a card in another rodeo assoc iation cannot enter a Morrow County event why was Monte Evans who won the Morrow County Calf Roping allowed to enter when he is also an NRA member and has been one for the last two years. I have noth ing against the Evans boy and I'm sure he would have had the same chance of winning the event even if Sid had been al lowed to enter as he definitely is more of a Calf Roper. Since I live in Wheeler coun ty all of this really has nothing to do with me except I have these records on file and I feel that all of Morrow county should be aware of them as I don't think the whole county should be blamed for something very few knew anything about. We missed having the Morrow County approved by our Ass'n this year but that was your choice.
