No mention was made in the report on the landscaping

LKTTKR TO THF KDITOH:
In the mail this last week,
we received a "2ml Notice"
from the Morrow County As
sessor's office relative to fil
ing the declaration of person
al property owned hy my sons
and nie. Inasmuch as this
instrument is not required hy
law to be filed until March
3rd, I find myself extremely
angry that the County has paid
mailing these forms as well
as paying the cost of pre
paring them and the materials
used. I know of several ot
hers at this writing who have
received the same material
through the mail with first
class postage attached.
If I can recall the cam
paign promises of our elect
ed officials, I believe they all
agreed to conduct the bus
iness of the County as ec
onomically as possible. If
this is an example of eco
nomy as practiced by our of
ficials, I feel that we, as
taxpayers, should protest.
Sincerely,
Yes, the coyote and the
magpie are good scav eugers,
inaUv totigiHMt, the i!o"pafk
'em off alive" or slill .irm.
My lurtieular neve is my

well as oilier birds eggs.

I ivtrlay with, via a 22 out
the kitchen window.
As to the warbles In cat
ties' lucks they can easily
le infected when bruised and
make hide of little value which
is bad for the producer.
Most good stock raisers
would agree that spraying
their cattle In the fall at
the proper tune, following
closely the recommended
procedure, would soon com
pletely eradicate the heel fly,
which d.t'S not fly any great
distance. This would I one
less exense for the producer
and feeder, which cost-wise
would In1 handed on down to
the consumer.
We all have our opinions
good and hid, and are guilty
of blaming the wrong things,
persons, or animals at the
wrong time. I have much
admiration for anyone ex
pressing his opinion though
it might not agree with mine
but am open to weigh the mat
ter. W hat a better world this
could be if we could all act
according to the master plan
and do unto others as you
would like them to do untc
you. So I guss I'd better
close if I carry out this
thought.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I am sure that the U.S.
Navy will re-examine its
stand on the Boardman Bomb
ing Range ir. re!a:ion to the
building of a nuclear gener
ation dant This situation
is unlike the previous situa
tion when an effort was made
to move the Bombing Range.
The previous situation was a
speculate situation while to
day's situation is a positive
situation--and the Navy or the
U.S. ArmyoftheUnitedStates
itself cannot stand in the way
of total development of a na
tural resource as big as the
Columbia River and its con
tributing frontage areas.

Eskelson, brother of Mrs.
Van Winkle, Mr, EskelsoP
was born at Lexington, July
11, 1900, and passed away in
Salem, Feb. 23, 1972. Ser
vices were held at the Vir

a good part of his life in
Lexington where he was a
farmer. Left to mourn his
passing are sister Mrs. R.E.

death by one brother Orville,
and two sisters, Rose R. Es
kelson and Mrs. Lawrence
(Nellie) Palmer of Lexington.
This letter is written par
tially in rebuttal to Ben Cox's
letter to the Editor in last
week's paper, on the subject
of the better side of the
coyote; merely for the plea
sure of expressing my opi
nion only.
While I do not agree that
the coyote is totally good
or bad, I feel that nature's
balance has perhaps been
thwarted by the hand of man.
Rabbits are now scarce where
we live and squirrels are
too plentiful for a few short
months while they are out
of hibernation, doing their
thing. This also means the
coyotes have to exist on other
food at times.
I have seen with my own
eyes, the near killing of one
calf, which I prevented leav
ing it crippled. Evidence
strongly pointed toothersuch
cases and I know others who
have witnessed similar ex
periences. I have also seen
them chase young deer.
If Ben w ould come out some
evening particularly in winter
months, he could pleasure
to their tune. While they
might lull us to sleep our
dog doth protest and con
sequently gets V.I. P. ac
commodations in our base
ment. Too, where we were
camped for deer hunting last
fall in the mountains, the
coyotes sounded like they had
us surrounded. As I have
teenagers, I feel that the
subject of hippies too de
batable, but these long-nosed,
shaggy haired creatures do
carry their own amplifiers,
and at my age, I'll settle
for country and western mu-
"If it is the right for the
thresher to say what he v. Ill
charge for threshing the far
mer's wheat, it is right for
wrmer to say what he will
charge for his wheat. II
is at least not equity for the
farmer both to buy and sell
at prices made by others. II
we admit tliat it is right for
those who sell to the farmer
to fix the prices at which they
sell, and we don't dispute it,
we must also admit that it
is right for the farmers to
fix the prices at which others
shall buy from him. But
really it is not a question
of right at all-it is a ques
tion of power. If the farmer
is to free himself from the
compulsion to which he is
now subjected, he must do so
by his own act. And it is
better so. A prosperity won
by one's own effort is bet
ter and more securely based
than that created and guar
anteed by government. The
solution of the problem is not
to be found in Washington,
but on the farms. There Is
no need to ask for favors.
The politicians can notgreat
ly help, and we don't propose
to call on them. The farm
ers organized, and pricing
their products, will be so
strong in the control of the
food and clothing of the world,
which the other people must
have, that they can put any
price on them that they want
to. Thus they can meet
prices, expenses, and taxes,
imposed by others. The farm
ers organized, don't need to
care whether there is politics
or not, nor how much they
are taxed only in so far as
they may be interested in an
other class-the consumers.
Nothing should be asked of
the politicians except treat
ment tliat will make it pos
sible to deal equitably with
others."

and a hi si of volunteers on
the high rating the Morrow
County f air received this
past year. According to the
Merit Rating Work Book the
Fair last summer increased
Rs points over the previous
year by 221 on the new merit
rating, scale.
The 1970 Fair received Gl 3
points and the 1971 Fair 866
points. Each fair receives
$23,000 and additional money
fur each point on the new

a money maker.
Point Makers.
The Fair bixird charged no

year, the Fair received 10
extra points as well as some

Under Administration and
Management Responsibility
the judges had 46 questions
to check. Many of them were
checked at the maximum of
10 points. The lowest rating
of 4 was recorded in re

says it is simple to make.
Marion's Tamale Pie
1 can of tamales
1 can of corn although she
said she'd used frozen corn
this time.
1 can of tomato sauce
2 eggs
Cut the tamales up (after
they're pealed). Combine all
the other ingredients and pour
over the tamales. Grate Che
ese generously over the top
and bake 45 niln. It is de
licious and the cross sec
tions of the tamale provide
an interesting pattern. It is
kinda custardy.
