CJR TURN TO HELP
Just over a year ago, the Red Cross moved Into help
those who were damaged by the May 1971 flood. 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.

When the Gazette-Times went off-set this spring, the nuke

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.

It just lupous that In Morrow County, we sea more beef

there is a unique and Ideal

choice Oregon beef. These
are available in 5, 10, or
15 dollar amounts and may
be redeemed at any grocery

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

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.

LEAKY SACK PROVES
DEATH TO SQUIRRELS
death to squirrels.
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.

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,
