SALEM SCENE
By JACK ZIMMERMAN
NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN
TO NAME EMERGENCY SUCCESSORS
As Salem gears up for the 57th revival of the state's biennial
legislature, rest assured someone is poised to mount a campaign to
repeal so-called needless laws among Oregon statutes.
To those most familiar with picking nits, the Emergency Interim
Successors Act of 1961 might qualify as a candidate for repeal.
This law, enacted more than a decade ago, appears to reflect the
thinking associated with what might be termed the Dr. Strangelove
era.
It requires government officials to appoint anywhere from three
to seven Emergency Interim Successors to fill their offices in the
event the original ejected or appointed people can't perform their
duties. On the state level the law applies to those heading agencies
and departments and ranges upward to include everyone but the
governor.
On the local government level it ranges from city clerks through
councilmen and into corresponding levels of county officials.
Oddly enough, the law designates the state's senior circuit judge
to succeed the governor. And if the senior judge is unavailable, then
the second senior circuit judge in point of service is supposed to fill
the bill as chief executive.
This particular law is of current interest because a whole host of
newly elected and appointed officials will shortly be taking office in
the aftermath of last month's General Election. And high on the list
of those submitting names of successors to Secy, of State Clay
Myers will be legislators assuming office on Jan. 8.
If they don't know about this particular official duty already,
they'll probably find out about it during Legislative Orientation
sessions in the Capitol Building this week.
One probably shouldn't make light of the Emergency Interim
Successor situation because it is part of a massive emergency
governmental structure designed to take over in times of National
Emergency and in the event of nuclear attack in particular.
In what we call normal situations, the law already clearly states
methods by which government leaders are to be replaced in the
event of their death or incapacitation. The 1961 statute so far hasn't
applied because a National Emergency has not been declared.
Meanwhile, however, the statute receives less than complete
compliance by those involved. Highest ranking state officials are
quick to name their EIS - most often singling out deputies in their
particular department. On some occasions it would appear listed
successors are named on a friendship or party structure basis.
Outgoing State Treasurer Robert Straub's list is interesting from
still another standpoint. His first choice for Emergency Successor
is Kenneth Johnson, who served long as Straub's deputy. Second is
State Sen. Edward Fadeley iD-Eugene). And third - as if by
premonition - is State Treasurer - elect James Redden of Medford.
It's questionable whether the list of EIS is a valid source of
names of those who may one day be elected or appointed to the
designated .office. But since Johnson earlier this year left the
country for a sojourn in Britain and Fadeley remains a holdover
member of the State Senate, it's almost prophetic in hindsight that
Redden was named to become the Democratic Party's candidate

Mrs. Dorothy Heard
Heppner Gazette Times
Heppner, Oregon
Dear Mrs. Heard:
As we, her children, under
take the difficult task of
preparing to part with our
family home after the death of
our mother, Mattie Green, we
find ourselves very grateful
that she could remain to the last
of her life among her own things
and her own friends and in the
house and community she knew
and loved for so long.
Our Dad brought her to
Heppner as a young bride in the
spring of 1908. He had first come
to Heppner in 1903, just two
weeks before the flood, and
after a time returned to their
home town in Virginia,
married, and together they
came to Heppner, seeking
better opportunity for progress.
Some years ago I visited the
beautiful state of Virginia with
its verdant hills, granite cliffs
and abundant springs and
streams and I wondered how
Mom could have managed in
those first homesick months
among the barren hills of our
Heppner landscape.
Her life was not an easy one,
but she never seemed to
friends, but youngsters as well,
such as the little boys on her
street who mowed her lawn and
did odd jobs for her, and in the
process received some of the
same training and "encour
agement" to do right that
marked the early days of her
own children. She used to say,
"I taught my children to work,
but I couldn't always teach
them to like it."
Our Mother was a true
individualist, and we benefited,
and occasionally chaffed, from
the unique individuality - it was
not always easy to meet her
standards - but we were secure
in the knowledge that we had a
home that was solid, clean,
comfortable, and love and
concern for us was there, and
we are grateful for that
background.
Perhaps it seems odd that one
of her children should write this
letter, but somehow I just
couldn't let her life close
without one last tribute to the
kind of person she was and what
she meant to us. We do know
that, regretfully, her exact like

All Saints Episcopal Church
On Dec. 17 All Saints Epis

special and different Christmas
program. This "Advent Hap

both young and old in the
service. The program was
written by Maxine Rietmann
and will include music and
special readings by all age
groups. The music groups are
being assisted and directed by
Larry Hildebrandt and Bob
Jespersen.
It is hoped that the congrega
tion will join the young people's
group in singing the following
songs: "He Ain't Heavy, He's
My Brother", "Where Have All
The Flowers Gone", "Blowin'
In the Wind", Henry Mancini's
"Let There Be Peace On Earth"
and "It's a Small World".
The primary ages and grades
1 and 2 will sing and the theme
of the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades
will be "It's a Small World".
This program will be during
the regular service time on
Sunday and it is hoped that this
will prepare everyone for the
joy of the Christmas season.
