Thousands of dollars came In to buy refrigerators, stoves, furnaces and other household articles that were needed to help people to get tuck Into their homes. Now it is Heppner's turn to help people who have suffered a flood in Okanogan Valley in Washington. It Is estimated that it will take $100,000 to put these people back on their feet. No matter ho small, the dollars count up and will be ap preciated. Heppner people can leave their contributions with Judy Laughlin, treasurer of the Morrow County Red Cross Chapter at Heppner TV or mall them to her at Heppner. NOT JL'ST BACK PAGE ITS GALLEY WEST!!!! When the Gazette-Times went off-set this spring, the nuke up went into several hands. Pages were renamed. The GALLEY WEST page 4S named by Ann Toney. In today's young people's jargon something 'way out" Is the greatest and what Is farther out than west? Galley is a measure of type. Assigned to this page Is the thing that the school kids are interested In reading. We agree yes and no with Ann Schwarz on her letter about Cheri's picture with the Governor. We first thought Eat Beef Tht Morrow County Cowbolles push (he consumption of lt the year round. On of their favorlt promotion la tlwtr iuf Gift Cortiflcatas.

I, In Morrow County, they have sold $873. It just lupous that In Morrow County, we sea more beef on the hoof than any other meat. So when you're eating beef, It's a home-produced product. So do eat UEEF. TO THE HEADERS OF THE GAZETTE TIMES; Father'! Day (June 18) will be here before you know It. And that means the number one-man-ln-your-llves deser ves something extra-special., probably his favorite dinner, lots of special attention, and most likely a snull gift of appreciation for Just being Dad. If you're like most people, you rack your brain each year trying to think of different and thoughtful things to give him. Hut this year there is a unique and Ideal way to make bis day one to remember. Go to your near est U.S. or First National Bank of Oregon and ask for a personalized gift certifi cate for Dad's favorite cut of choice Oregon beef. These are available in 5, 10, or 15 dollar amounts and may be redeemed at any grocery store or meat market In the U.S.A. A beef gift certifi cate is a clever way to make Father's Day last a little bit longer. He can eat like a King for several days, a week, or more. Be creative, find the quick I wrote these thoughts to our national Representatives and Senators from Oregon. In doing this, I'm not trying to be a super patriot. I'm con cerned about the degree of freedom my children and yours will share In yeara to come. We are at this time having new forms of govern ment being set up without the vote of the general population.

Sincerely, Morrow County CowBelles o7 Years Ago 1913 LIGHTENING STRIKES NEAR THIS CITY. Machine House on Mountain Valley Farm Belonging to J.C. Stap leton, Goes Up in Flames During Storm. The machine house which was struck by lightening Friday morning burned to the ground in a short time. Nearly every thing of value was removed from the building with the ex ception of 1500 sacks, about 5 tons of bay, and a fann ing mill. Mr. Stapleton says it was not more than two minutes and a half after the lightning struck, until the en tire building was a mass of flames. PRISONER TO PENITEN TIARY. Sheriff George Mc Duffee took Frank Thomas to Salem on Friday and turned him over to the warden of the state penitentiary. Tho mas was convicted at the re cent term of the circuit court and given a sentence of one to five, years. He had bought a watch from a local jewe ler and in return gave a wor thless check. E.A. POINTER of Lexing ton made a Heppner business visit on Sat. He was ac companied by Mrs. James Pointer and Mrs. Guy Nor dyke. Mr. Pointer spent the winter in Calif., but just re cently returned to visit with his sons, who are extensive farmers in the Lexington sec tion. W.W. BECHDOLT, who was down from Hardman over Sunday, states that crop con ditions in his section are improving rapidly. An abun dance of moisture has been provided already and favor able growing weather from this will bring forth a good yield of grain and hay.

When Paul Webb took a sack of poisoned oats, which he had bought from EmmettSmithon Rhea Creek to his ranch sev eral miles up Balm Creek, he did not realize that he was doing an act which would not only mean the death of bun dredsof squirrels on his owr place but rid toe land adja cent to the road of these pests as well. It was no' until Mr. Webb arrived norm that he discovered the sacl had a hole in it, and all tht way up the Rhea Creek road it had been dribbling out. The next day a trip over the road showed that the poisoned grain had had its effect, for great numbers of the dead rodents were lying in the high way in the trail of the death-dealing oats. 37 Years Ago 1935 PHELPS FUNERAL HOME this week moved into new qua rters in the former W.B.

June 2, 1972 Heppner Gazette Times Heppner, Oregon 97836 To the Editor; One question about your June 1st paper. Why was the picture and article of Cheri Carlson, who recently was named Outstanding Teen ager of Oregon, put on the back page? This is a great honor for her and for the county and I feel she should have made the frontpage. Al so, Jill Rugg, who won a couple all-around rodeo titles in one weekend should have made front page too. If a prize winning dog can get on the front page, why can't our prize winning kids? Sincerely, Ann B. Schwarz Heppner, Oregon Dear Editor: A car in which Mrs. Will Ball (Vivian) was riding was struck amidships by another car running a red light. Both cars were almost de molished and the older man driving errant car carried no insurance, according to reports. Vivian was knocked uncon scious, received some broken ribs and one knee cap was torn loose. She was taken to The Good Samaritan Hospi tal for surgery. She is back home now using a walker. Her grandson, Homer Hayes, looks out for her and her neighbors are very thoughtful. She is a former Heppner resident. Lee Sprinkel, a former Hep pner barber, is still barter ing in Portland, owning his own shop. A terrible electric storm hit Portland Fridayafternoon with heavy thunder and lightn ing struck near us leaving us with no power. The ele vators stopped the halls were black and here we sat. I looked for a feather bed to crawl under for safety but But soon all was light again. What a slave we are to electricity and easy comfort. It makes me think of my childhood and the coal oil lamps and chimneys polished Our elected officials In most states are pushing us Into Regional Umbrella Governments without our vot ing as to whether we desire this. It appears (hat these regions of vast numbers of people will be ruled by de cree because tliey are going to save money, be more ef ficient, they say. The key to this vast amount of power will be found in land use and control. The men making most of the Important deci sions will probably be appointed. The money to op erate these regions will prob ably start with Federal Aid and taxes on the transfer of Real Estate, etc. Remember the old Stamp tax the col onies fought? Those who wish to erode the second Bill of Rights by shooting a variety of prom inent people to sway our elect ed officials and gullible pub lic into giving up their right to keep and bear arms are committing treason. The Council of Govern ments looks very similar to the Soviets in Russia. The people of Russia didn't get a chance to vote as to whether they wanted that form of dictatorship either. Just because an official is elected, doesn't give him the right to change our basic form of government by decree. I hope that those officials who feel unhampered in moves to form new systems of government without votes will soon be stopped. An American reporter said of Russia that only the in tellectuals there would revolt from dictatorship if it were possible. The rest wouldn't care anymore. If s easy not to care. Maybe they were afraid to say anything for fear of being put into mental in stitutions. The Russians have a bad habit of classifying all dissenters as mental cases. For Americans to rely on the United Nations to pro tect our basic freedoms and rights would be shear folly. The U.N. started with the Communists in Moscow in 1943. In 1945 to get Russia to join, Russia was given two votes to our one. We should be able to come out at least second or lower down of outvoted by Communist Countires. Nevertheless, we pay most of the costs. It seems that we'll always be FIRST to pay the most until we're broke. That will help bring peace sooner, that Is, the kind of peace the Com munists want because we won't have anything left for defense. It looks like the Disarmament Plan will also help the situation immensely by allowing Russia to go outdistance us in the build ing of missile-firing subs and other military equipment. Of course, everyone wants peace. How about slavery? Best Wishes, Charles W. McConnell continued from page 1 water retention, develop wind erofcinn resistance and In cms ability to hold nutrient.
