CAVERHILL Christmas 70 Years Ago As Christmas nears this year. I have a feeling of nostalgia for n Christmas as it was in Ixmg Creek In the years past. The community tree in (lie church with gifts for everyone, and dec orated wllh strings and balls of popcorn, lighted with wax can dles, and In charge of a special committee was presented to the public on Christmas Eve (not at random as now). "Baby" Brown, n 300 pound bachelor, always provided the tree, and the sa loons furnished candy, nuts and arranged for every youngster in the Valley. Santa Claus came on Christmas Eve, not in the mid dle of December. There was nothing commercial about the observance. The Christinas spir it prevailed over commerce. 1 believe we have lost some of that spirit.

Monday through Friday; 9 a m. As a taxpayer, some months ago we applauded the announce ment by Pacific Oas Transmis sion Co., that they would build another ?3 million pipe line through Morrow County. Taxa ble property like this is most welcome. However, that was the last we heard of the proposal. Now, we just heard the Can adian Energy Board will not al low additional gas to be export ed over and above what is al ready being exported. So the new pipeline is not necessary. However, the company tells us that exploration is being push ed in the Rocky Mountain states and in Canada and it is hoped that the pipe building delay Is temporary. The Eugene Register-Guard N.a 7 edition leaturcs a sioiy und pictures on "Home Is Where the Heart Is, Even in naruman, Ore.", by lone Reed.

Anyway, that is what the salesman had you believing until your hus band came home. You found yourself confronted with a high pressured sales pitch. A door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman had convinced you and your better judgment that you need ed his new machine with its many labor saving gadgets. Vou had rationalized that the old nnr. was on the brink of disas- tnr. But somehow your husband failed to feel the urgency of the situntlon and demanded you re turn thr Item and get nis money back!! What can an Oregon consum er do when he wants to cancel a home solicitation sale? uncter a 1971 law relating to consumer nmiwinn the buver has the right to cancel such a sale un til midnieht of the third busi ness dav after the sale if he gives the salesman written no tice of his intention to cancel. This option isn't available if tn Hpliver the Eoods on an emer- the buyer has asked the seller gency basis, or if ne cam re turn the goods in as good con dition as he purchased them. Business interests, too, are protected in this kind of sale. Tho Keller mav retain a mini mal cancellation fee if he has fulfilled his obligations in the sale. This payment serves as a mmnpnsation for his inconven- ipr. In addition, the seller must repossess the goods after a canceled sale within a reas onable time of 20 days, or the goods legally become tne prop rtv r.f the intended buyer with out his being obliged to pay for them. , Honpfullv. this legislation will reduce the frustrations that plague many consumers in home solicitation sales. This new law also recognizes the interests of the salesman and define his le gal rights. It may make buying at home a convenience rather than a chancy transaction. Eat and Stay Trim U the theme for the Morrow County study groups meeting this month. ... Dec 13 Heppner Day will meet at 10 a.m. for a full day's program at the home of Mrs. Felix Schwarzin.
