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

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!!!

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.

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.

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.
Sincerely yours,
Joann Griffith
