The members of the National Kifle Association arc. in truth, a "...cross section of America. ..." These are the people and this is the organization that antlfn fanatics ami antiun las seek to punish. Rarely has there hern a more flagrant attempt to abridge one of the most elemental prin ciples of personal liberty than in proposals to prohibit fire arm ownership by law-abiding U.S. citizens. Beware !-- The bug is back For those ot us fortunate enough to have escaped the childhood killer and crippler of generations past, it may come as quite a shock that state health authorities warn we are ripe again for a polio epidemic in Oregon. With availability of the Sabm oral vaccine and the earlier Salk vaccine, polio has disappeared completely from the state since 1965. according to state public health officer. Dr Edward Press. But we have grown complacent, a very human problem for which no vaccine exists This complacency now means that halt Of all the young children in the state ae unprotected against the polio virus. When the easily taken Sabm "sugar cubes' first appeared, there was a community wide (really nationwide) program of immunization with ticket books sold entitling buyers to the full series of innoculations at a given time in a central place. It would be a considerable blessing for the youngsters of our community if a group could organize another community wide drive to innoculate those susceptible to the crippling virus before a summer time epidemic brings tragedy back to many families. -. Canby Herald Pass Another Law Americans have a ready solution for every problem which confronts us: pass another law. We heap law upon law, and each new statute seems to defy it or find a way of evading it. We spend more money to pass laws, and more money to break the laws we pass, than any nation in the world. And we think that the only way to correct all this is to pass another law. The something that makes laws work in definitely missing. We have become so involved in legality that morality is forgotten. And the result is more and more laws in a vain effort to keep us from being inhuman to each other. This is not progress. Sierra Madrs (Calif.) News infill CHl)cK DID YOU KNOW?

JAYCEES growing beards may be interested to learn that Ms that Misuriya Din of India grew the mustache with the longest span, 102 inches.

They sold at auction in 1970 for $103,320 in London. The State Highway Com mission has distributed $6, 088,065.70 of highway user funds to the counties. Morrow County, with 4422 vehicles gets $8,952.45. Any of the folks who feel that beef is too high, listen to this: in West Germany steak is going for $4.00 a pound! Last week folks in one area of town really "got the bird". Eleanor Gonty said about 6 a.m. one morning what sound ed like a rifle shot was heard in that area, and out went the lights. A bird had blown a fuse in a transformer. A dove did the same trick recently out on a ranch. Also at 6 a.m. So the birds are right on schedule.

Helen M:Cabe took her to the doctor here and she was in the same hospital room with Dorothy Heard. Mrs. D.O. Nelson recently fell and broke her arm. Howard Pettyjohn had a close call, too, Friday. He stopped and got out of his truck loaded with sand at the Earl Ayres home tosee where to dump the load. The truck slipped its brakes and went down the hill, taking out a fence, going over a bank and wrecking in a ditch. Howard was unhurt.

My goal is lo become an Ordained Minister of tln Uni ted M -thodist Church. Keg istr.it ion Is during the week of September 25th; classes begin October 2nd. While I am eager to be gin preparation for my new vocation, I leave my present position with mixed emotion. The Department has develoed a significance in the county. The people have begun to understand that stu dent membership on the Ju venile Advisory Committee is an opportunity for respon sible, productive, and valid participation In county af iairs. The memlwrsof the Ad visory Committee have been active and helpful. About 35 different families were involved in the Family Life Education Series. One third of the families returned an opinion survey to the Ju venile office. They registered a 10-1 desire in tivor of having other family life pro grams in the future. Half or more of the responses in dicated that the series pro vided "the kind of experience I can apply to my own sit uation;" "tliat it served its purpose;" "and helped me personally." Other par ents have indicated that they feel a program stressing responsible parenthood would be appropriate for junior and senior age young people in the county. Some of the stu dents have forthrightly re quested such a program. A Morrow County Youth Council has been organized. One of our local youth has been elected to the office of Regional Vice President and as such is a member of the row County School District greatly improved last year, reported C.R. Ham, auditor, who completed his work this week. Rumors now floating thr ough the northwest that the completed and partly comple ted CCC Erosion Camps are to be abandoned are false, according to a statement made today by W.A. Rockie, regional director of the Pa louse Project of the Soil Con servation Service. , Someone hauled away 35 sacks of wheat from one ol Orville Cutsforth'sfieldslast Wednesday. The wheat which was taken was of a new var iety and Mr. Cutsforth is the only farmer in the county to have tliat type of wheat. 1 YEAR AGO 1971 The Boeing Co. and a Po rtland firm, Columbia Pro cessors Cooperative, announ ced plans for using the Bo ardman industrial site as a terminal for recycling waste products from the Portland metropolitan area. The Heppner - Morrow County Chamber of Com merce board last week okay ed the purchase of a big fo otball scoreboard for the local stadium at the Fair grounds. About 1:00 p.m. Saturday as Fred Martin and crew of lone were driving back to the wheat field after lunch, wheat stubble collected under the pickup and started a fire in the field. Other farmers stop ped their harvest, and helped control the fire after about two hours. It burned ap proximately 130 acres.
