Girls Statc.Boys State
Jl'E-the month of graduation. eddtngs and CIRLS
STATE: Each is the beginning of a ne ay of life for a
girl The first is a transition from the shelter of home
and school to the cruel, cold orld outside, the second
a chance from a " me" -centered ortd to a "e" centered
one; and CIRLS STATE is a change in a hole way of thinking
about government: A change from "why don't THEY dc
something about....." thinking to "what can 1 do about1
. thinking. 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

At has been the custom for
several years for former
Heppner cltuens now resid

annual picnic, so again tins
year will those people come
together in Columbia Park on
July 5.
The annual school meeting
was held at the Council cham
bers in Heppner on Monday
afternoon, and was re
markable for its lameness.
There was no opposition tick

a new temple on their lot
at the corner of Main and
Willow Streets, and that the
work on the same will not
be long delayed.
Relatively low prices for
wheat, as compared with
prices last fall and winter,
are due to a scarcity of
ships, high ocean freight
rates, and to the dilatory
policy of European buyers in
placing their orders.
Hereafter judges and clerks
Mr. and Mrs. Orvllle Cuts
forth have deeded 61 : acres
to Morrow County at Cuts
forth Park. This now gives
the County both shorelines of

small wallet size photo is
okay. Pictures are needed

If you haven't bought your
souvenir sheepskin money
yet, there's some available
at the banks here. Some folks
are even using the sheep
skin money to pay bills, thus
giving added publicity to Hep

Good old-fashioned educa
