Pondering
By w. S. 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.

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.

Home Solicitation
Sales
By PATTI HEALY
The buy of the year. 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. Members are to
bring gifts unwrapped for the
Eastern Oregon State Hospital
as well as an inexpensive gift
