Ma Iit-IIT Irresponsible? CoiiHiesslonnl salary hikes voted to themselves by mem Im is or Omrres.s, at a time when everyone else was suposcd lo have been holding the line against Inflation, did not sit loo well with voters and taxpayers. Now there are reports that plans are afoot lo grant upper level government officials fedetal lax exemption for portions of their income. At the same time, news reports have Just appeared telling of do mauds for a guaranteed annual income of $o,5(K). It seems eovcrumeiit officials have no wish to share in the rising tax burdens that are sure lo lesult from the tightening grip of welfarism. Meanwhile, still another press release tells us that in 1971, the average taxpayer pent the first 129 days of the year working lo pay his yearly federal, state and local taxes. This suit of heads I win, tails you lose attitude of poli ticians toward taxpayers will eventually lead to the enslave ment of productive citizens or to the breakdown of govern ment. One other course is open the removal from office of financially Irresponsible public servants. TO THE EDITOR. To the Editor: Old friends. You really can't heat them. So Mr. and Mrs. Marvin K.

CAVERHILL Christmas Shopping 1890 For those who have just gone through the problem of Christ mas shopping in well lighted supermarkets, run the hazards of traffic jams and a search for parking space, it might be in teresting to recall Christmas shopping as it was in the '90's without danger and dazzle. The stores were lighted with Kerosene or carbide lights. Shop pers tied their horses to the "hitching racks" or put them in a livery stable. The merchandise offered con tained many items not generally found now. A selective list for men in cluded "German" sox, felt boots, plug tobacco (Star, Climax, Sawlog), Bull Durham smoking tobacco, (anyone smoking a "tailor made" was considered a "plnhead"), Mufflers and ear muffs were popular. Silk shirts were an extravagance but avail able. For the women there was more variety of Items now obsolete, hlnh tunned buttoned shoes. whale bone styled corsets, bead ed facinators, "peeK-a-Doo cuonlrs hair curlers, rhinestone studded back and side combs, celluloid hair pins long Kid gloves and a variety of hats and veils. A super gift was an ex pensive set of toiletries. For the youngsters there were felt bound slates, tin horns (good for a toot or two), drums, autograph albums and diaries. If the shopper took a break they could go to the hotel and enjoy a family style meal for fift.f mnta On orwilint of tbp means of transportation, the. trade area was limited to a fif-1 teen mile radius. Each small. town was an important trade center. That Is no more. Good roads and autos have driven the small town merchant out of the specialty business. Times have changed, but the spirit f Christmas lives on. Whether we gather ours gift from a supermarket or a dimly lighted store of the past, the the nurnose is the same as the three wise men of the East, who, paid homage to tne tnrisi vnua so long ago.

Friday. Jan. 7. It will tw in the Cafctorlum at A. C. Houghton School. The nubjcet will ho "F.mi rget.cy Planning ". Since threat of disaster to communities is not only found in possible nuclear attacks anil the subsequent radioactive ex posure, but also by natural causes as Hood, fire and earth quake. While Irrigon's graphical location and sparse settlement reduce threat of the first two drastically, the possi. bility that omirrcmi of any of them could bring emergency conditions in sections of the community is cause for concern. Many volunteer services would be required and planning for coordination of emergency ef forts would benefit all greatly should the need for such serv ices arise. State legislation has designat ed the County judge as respon sible for an emergency plan for the County and has named the Mayor of each City for the plan within their area. The local plan is to be sent to the County where it will be coordinated with the County plan. It is with the for mation of a local plan in mind that I have called this meeting. We will also be discussing the new, nationwide "911" emer gency telephone number and how it could, and will, affect Irrigon. Civil Defense is everyone's bus iness. Get Involved. Volunteer for service ahead of time that you may be informed ahead of time. A lot of lost mo tion can be eliminated. Chester A.

By so doing they stopped the other Morgans before they reached Lonerock and their Christmas was spent at Condon.
