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

Now we've seen it all - panty
hose for men. ...at Gonty's.
We may as well face 1973 with
a smile. Nothing else will do us
as much good.
A hearty New Years greeting
to each and everyone. 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.
Trouble with noise is. no two
people ever want to make the
same amount of it at the same
time
Many a small boy is the kind of
kid his mother wouldn't want
him to play with.
Businessman to another: "I
hate to complain, but I wish my
blood pressure was going down
like my stocks are."

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.
