A change from politics and government as a bore to politics and government as an exciting and vital part of living in America. This year the experience in government gained at Gins State is especially important because the lowered voting age brings active participation much nearer. Some girls may already be eighteen, most will be by next year. These voung people are going to be influencing the lives of every one in our country with their votes in the very near future. So the ays that needed changes can be brought about within the framework of our form of government and our political svstem becomes very important for young people to learn. This is whv so many people have given so much time and energv to making the Girls State program a success. The Unit chairmen and Girls State committees have worked hard raising monev. contacting contributing sponsors, contacting schools, interviewing candidates and selecting the best ones and finally filling out their reports. A dedicated staff of American Legion Auxiliary members along with several government officials put in a week of concentrated effort to bring about this change in the lives of the Girls State Citizens last week on the Willamette Campus. Congratulations to the 1972 Girls Staters, Lou Ann Kelly and Tami Meador. Congratulations to the 1972 Boy Staters who had a similar program on the Oregon State Campus: Bill Jepsen, Greg Green. Allen McCabe. Dale Hedman, Jim Cutsforth. HAZARDS OF SPRING I SUMMER With the coming of spring and summer come traveling salesmen-some of them dishonest. Never a year goes bv but what homeowners somewhere are "taken in" by shadv operators who talk them into home "improvements" that fail to improve anything except the salesman's financial status. Beware of these frequently used introductions: The offer of a "free" inspection of your roof; "We'll use your home as a model and give you a big break on the price;" or "Con gratulations! You have just won...." If you are approached by strangers with such phrases, do some serious checking before you sign a contract or pay the salesman anv money. Take a few days to get estimates for the job from established local firms or workmen you know are reliable. NO FINANCIAL SAVINGS AFTER ALL Solution to school district financial stress and more build ings, the idea of year around public schools, has been termed as something to forget as a way to save money. The report of the state-wide committee has just been re leased and may be obtained for 50 cents from the Oregon Education Association, 6900 S.W. Haines Rd., Tigard. OEA consultant, Dr. Ty Brown says that instead of trying to reschedule the school year as an economy move a school board "really should examine what an extended year program can do for the people in the individual community. LETTERS T0THE The Democratic voters of eastern Oregon have chosen George McGovern to lead their party. In doing so, they have said to the nation that they want a man in the White House who will speak out for the man on the street, rather than for corporate executives or big city bankers. They have said that they want a president they can trust. I would like to thank the Democratic voters of the Heppner area for electing me as one of the two delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Miami next month. I intend to work par ticularly bard for a platform plank that guarantees a fair break for the small farmers and ranchers as well as for an equitable tax system that places the burden on those with the most money, not the average wage earner. The Democratic party is more open today than has been any other political party in the history of America .. Every Democrat should have a voice in the drawing up of the party platform. I would like very much to hear what the residents of the Heppner area believe the Democratic party platform should ad dress itself to, and I hope that the people reading this letter will make their views known to me before the Demo cratic National Convention convenes July 10. I will do my best to make sure that the feelings of Eastern Oregonians are heard in Miami. As a voung Democrat, I am particularly honored to have been chosen as a dele gate. However, as the costs ORE . GAZFTTK TIMES, Thurndftv.
