Second Cls Matter INSULTING THE ELECTORATE Viewing the election in retrospect and regardless of the virtues of the thousands of candidates at every level of government, a disturbing conclusion must be drawn. The prospect of bringing local and federal spending of tax money under control appears far from bright. How can i! be controlled when the primary campaign pitch of the average candidate still hinges on advocating ever more programs that involve new burdens for taxpayers Voters in the last election were asked to judge candidates' merits on their expertness in securing federal appropriations for local projects. The number of dollars poured into such projects from the federal treasury were considered badges of achievement. The direct connection between inflation and government spending was almost whollv ignored. There was little effort to deal honestly with the basic issues of big government, welfarism and all the other forces that over the years have eaten away the value of the earnings and saving of every citizen. Bv the time another election rolls around, there could be more than a taxpayer's revolt. There could be a voter's revolt against the style of electioneering that threatens the perpetuation of orderly, solvent government. The First Newspapers News began to appear in print in Europe Late in the 16th Century, but the word 'newspaper" was actually not coined and in use until 100 years later Early news publications appeared in Italy in 1566. Germany in 15M. Holland in 1616 and Sweden m 1624. In London, the Weekely Newes began publication under royal license in 1622. but the real newspaper, the Oxford Gazette, later renamed London Gazette was founded in 1665. It was the editor of this paper who coined the term "newspaper". Within 50 years after the discovery of America, a printing press was in operation ir. Mexico, but English-speaking colonists had no printing press until 1639. The first attempt was made in 1690. to publish a newspaper in America was suppressed in Boston after its first edition because it had not been "printed with authority". Fourteen years later, the Boston News Letter appeared and continued publication for 72 years. Benjamin Franklin started the weekly Pennsylvania Gazette in 1729 in Philadelphia which later merged with the North American and was one of the leading newspapers in the US for 150 years. Early newspapers contained few illustrations but Franklin was among the first to illustrate his paper with woodcuts. Woodcut engravings made by hand, were the only means of illustrating news stones or reproducing the influential political cartoons of the day until photoengraving was introduced in 1880. Today there are 1.758 daily published in the US and 7.612 weekly newspapers, a total of 9370. Total circulation of the dailies is approximately 62 million papers a day and of the weeklies, approximately 28 million papers each week. This means that Americans buy and read about 400 million copies of newspapers every week or about 2 copies per family. During November, the Gazette-Times added 9 new subscriptions and 111 renewals Let's All L5 Over in ski equipment was sold at the temporary Ski Shop opened last weekend at Clarence Rosewall's Building.

And let us each offer a prayer chock full of omph for those lads land gals, too) who are wearing the uniforms of their country and are far away from home and wishing they were here. We're hoping for a good looking town in 1973. And one way to do it is to batten down everything when we take our trash and junk out to the City Dump Some folks along the way have had stuff blow onto their property, making them most unhappy. We have a feeling some of the haulers don't even realize the stuff is blowing away. So. since we want our place and your place and everyone's else s to look spic and span, let's watch it. Pretty soon the Dutch tourists will be coming over here and saying "Boy. you otta see Heppner. It's the cleanest spot in the world." ON THE TRAIL Here's a note of interest to hunters. On Friday. January' 5 the Game Commission will hold a public hearing to establish opening dates for the 1973 big game and upland game birds seasons. The hearing is sched uled at the Commission's Port land headquarters. 1634 SW Alder, and will begin at 10 a.m. Only the opening dates will be set by the Commission at that time since biological informa tion on which to base length of seasons, bag limits and other rules will not be available. General regulations for the 1973 seasons will be established in May for big game animals and in late July or early August for upland birds and small game. The objective in setting open ing dates at the beginning of each year is to permit mmrods ample time to plan vacation periods to coincide with the hunting season of their choice. Industry' - 'arge companies especially - require employees to request vacation periods earlv in the ye.Tr so as not to be caught short of help at critical times Pedestrian: someone who can uet across town faster than a motorist These days, history is being made faster than w e can pay for it.

G-T Want Ads Pay Big 2 LETTERS To The Editor: Christmas. A time to remem ber Old friends, if not in person then in memory they seem to gather round. Frank Turner writes about his young days He says "On my first job shearing sheep your father W. A Richardson) took me. was only IB and scared to death that no sheepman would let me shear. I was very small anyway. My first job was for M S Corrigall ion lower Butter creek i. When we got to the ranch Mr Corrigall came out to talk to us After taking a careful look at me he asked your father what he had that boy tmc there for and I will never forget how your father said 'to shear'. And he let me shear and I went out several years with your father's crew of ten shearers." A note from Ruth Pavne m Pendleton, formerly Heppner saying she is enjoying her retirement which began Sep tember 1. In October she had a nice vacation trip to New Mexico and Arizona and liked the warm pleasant weather. In January she is leaving for a month's stay in Hawaii along with her brother and his wife. And a message from the Dick Wightman's. After living for years in Honolulu upon their retirement they moved to California but the call of Oregon was strong so they sold their home to their daughter Janet and her husband Alan. They have purchased a large mobile home and installed it on the beautiful McKenzie River. Dick has also passed the State Real Estate examination and is associated with another broker. Claudien's sister owns a resort on the McKenzie. Dick has converted her garage into a Shop of Antiques, crafts, hand work and art so Claudien has her niche. Then a real surprise - a card and letter from Tillie Allinger Sanderson i. Goodness. I said, who is that? But as I read on glimmers of light came. She says "I was the cashier of the Farmer's and Stockgrowers National Bank in Heppner until the Depression." Someone sent her a copy of the Heppner Gazette-Times and in it she saw a letter written by me so - . She said "Another thing I saw in the paper was that the Bookworms Club was having their regular meeting. I was so pleased to read that because I started the club." She owns 16 acres near Beaverton but is afraid she won't be there much longer as a huge shopping center which will rival Lloyd Center is just about 5 minutes from her place. It will contain Meier & Frank. Lip man's. Rhodes. Nordstroms, Penneys, Sears etc. - about 80 stores. She says "So one of these days they will grab me, too". She is a member of the Willamette Writers Club in Portland and plans to write seriously again. She adds "Get ting that paper made me a little homesick I guess". When Lillie Allinger was in Heppner. The other bank was the First National with stock holders being W.P.Mahoney, Frank Gilliam. M.S.Corrigall, John Kilkenny .SR., the Thom sons and many more. The whole thing should never have happened. Now what about this "col yum" and "your awful paper" which should be called "Ob scene and Heard?" That's odd, I see your paper every week and I have been thinking what a good job you are doing. And in all "modesty" I consider myself an excellent critic with years of experience behind me. In All Sincerity.

The seventh and eight grade girls' chorus sang several Christmas arrangements and the entire group ended the program by singing "Do You Hear What'l Hear".
