Common sense
Editor: '
If you are Interested In having common sense decisions
made in our state legislature, we urge you to vote for Bill
Bellamy for state representative from District 55.
We have known Bill for the last three years. He is the
agriculture teacher at Culver High School. Bill has the ability
to be a leader, is a good speaker, and can express himself
very well.
Because of Bill's interest in agriculture, we feel he will give
us the help we need in Salem with agricultural problems. In
addition, he will work for solutions to other problems in the
best interest of District 53.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Beesley
To the Editor,
With all the exposure that government has had in the news
media during the past couple of years, one would expect
Americans to be extremely knowledgeable and vitally interested
In our political process ... but are we?
Are we Americans more InteresUd in politics, or do we,
because we sometimes hear things we don't like, just turn off
politics In our lives?
How does the word politics strike you personally? Do you
picture small smokey rooms filled with short, stout, cigar
chewing, evil politicians greedily grasping for all the money and
power they can get? v
If you are turned off by politics and if you just turn politics
off, consider that you cold be turning off freedom forever. Politics
means nothing more than the art or science of goverpment and
government is the business of the American people.
Think about the business of government for just a moment;
ask yourself these three questions: Am I satisfied with the way
my government is being run? Are those who represent me in
Washington, D.C.. truly representative of the people from my
district or state? Do I feel that those who represent me in
government are not working and voting towards the best
interest of my country?
If an honest appraisal of the situation produces answers that
you don't like you can vote them out of office.
Casting a ballot for a polite! candidate of your choice is not
only a precious right. It is a major responsibility of citizenship.
We should all remember that each vote is important. It is a
passport to better government
Each vote cast in a free election for a candidate who is freely
selected by the person voting is sn expression of belief in the
American form of government
Each time you are eligible to vote and you fail to do so is a
rejection of all the conceps that our great nation stands for.
People who don't vote because they're too uninterested, too
busy or too lazy, fail in their obligations snd responsibilities as
American citizens.
When people become apathetic towards government when
people no longer exercise their right to select those who will lead
them: when people lose interest In governing themselves, they
are In grave danger of losing, their right to self government f
In the last presidential election, nearly 40 million people
didn't bother to exercise their right to vote; enough to change
the outcome of any election.
It's high time that non-voting Americans wake up to the fact
that citizens take a hand in the responsibilities of government
Take a good look at what your elected repesenUtive, at all levels
of government are doing and what they continue to do as long as
they are In office. Weigh the good points against the bad points,
check their records and how they go about the task of
representing the people. Then you can actively support your
choice of candidates. Wawtm H. McCey

Thank-you
Dear Friends:
We would like to thank everyone who donated their time
and money in Trevor's behalf. The dance and rodeo were
each a big success thanks to our friends who worked so hard
and came from near and far to participate in both.
Our rodeoing friends and our oiher good friends certainly
rallied around. People never realize how many wonderful
friends they have and how many really good people there
are, until moments like this.
We thank each and everyone. You have made the coming
months look much brighter. We are forever grateful that
Trevor is doing just fine and that we live in such a wonderful
community with so many good friends everywhere.
Sincerely,
Bill, Patti & Trevor McCoin

'V!
To: The voters of Morrow County, Oregon
When I originally ran for the office of Morrow County Clerk in 1960 I used the
slogan "Save Your Tax Dollar by Re-Electing a Qualified and Trained County
Clerk." I have kept that promise to you, in spite of the fact that our work load
has tripled, and I am proud that we are able to continue providing full service
without adding other help.
Also, I had the advantage of six continuous years of practical experience
before I became County Clerk.
I believe that the average citizen
thinks of the County Clerk as simply a
registrar of deeds, County Bookkeeper,,
and recorder of Instruments. Actually,
the County Clerk's responsibilities are
much more varied; they include duties
as Clerk of the Circuit Court, Clerk of
the County Court, Clerk of the Board of
Equalization, Supervisor of Elections,
Budget Officer for the County, and,
other miscellaneous obs defined by
Statute, Including Issuing passports,
registering voters, and etc. Obviously, ,
a County Clerk Is not going to get bored
between elections.
Since our vaults were bursting at the seams, I converted to a microfilm
record system In 1968, and this has saved space and has also meant that I have
been able to maintain the work load with the assistance of only one deputy. I
am proud that we are able to continue providing full service without adding
other help. Though this has required longer hours and greater diligence, I
enjoy the task of office management and am always looking for new ways to
provide greater service with the resources we have.
I have other experiences and Interests to offer to the Voters. I am a past
President of the State Association of Oregon Clerks and Recorders, a member
of the Episcopal Church and a Democrat.
Concluding, I can never express In words the gratitude to the citizens of
Morrow County, all of whom I consider my friends, for electing me to serve as
their County Clerk and am again asking for your support In this election.
Sincerely,
Sadie Parrlsh, your present
County Clerk

"Oreaonians have a lino record in judging initiative

tavor ol a continuing reliable supply oi electric energy.
With all due respect to my (rtends in politics, lew ol them
are qualllled to sit In Judgment on nuclear energy. This
measure would allow a minority ol only 1 1 senators to
control Its development. Energy would become a polit

race, Jim Durham is the proven

law for the past 4 years.
Durham's 5 year experience as
