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.

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.

Irrigon Plans Vital
C. D. Meet
A I'Ublic muting of utmost
interest to every member of the
community i scheduled for
7.30. 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.

Well, it seems that Christmas
wasn't what it used to be on

When the Smiths got about
a mile up the creek the jeep
they had borrowed, sunk down
in the road that had been un
der mined by work that had
been done some time ago.
They walked back to the Da
vis ranch where they had left
their car and went back to Con
don where they spent the night
with the Pat Turneys. By so
doing they stopped the other
Morgans before they reached
Lonerock and their Christmas
was spent at Condon.
It was a big disappointment
for the young folks as they ex
pected to do some skating on
the Brown Creek ponds.
Mr. and Mrs. Mattlon Hicks,
Emery and Ruby Matthews,
and Allan Matthews from For
est Grove spent the holidays at
Baker visiting Mr. and Mrs. Pete
