Justice of the Peace
resigns post here
The Morrow County Court
received notice from Justice
of the Peace Dee Gribble this
week, tendering her resigna
tion effective Dec. 15, 1978.
Judge D.O. Nelson said the
court will make a recommen
dation to the governor some
time in mid-November for an
appointment that would be
effective until the next general
election.
Nelson said anyone interest
ed in serving as Justice of the
Peace for the 6th District,
should submit their name,
qualifications and references
to the County Court prior to
Nov. 15, 1978.
Mrs. Gribble had earlier
informed the court that she
would be taking her vacation
beginning Oct. 15, which .
requires a county court ap
pointment of a JP pro tempore.
"At this time we have one
person interested in the job,
whom we expect to appoint
pro-tem judge," Nelson told
the Gazette-Times Wednesday
morning. The pro-tem ap
pointment was expected to be
made Wednesday afternoon.
The temporary judgeship is
expected to go to Charlotte
Gray of Heppner, a worker in
the Home Health program
here. Ms. Gray was previously
a clerk for The Dalles munici
pal court and served as
pro-tem judge there.

Can I expect to get an easy to understand explanation of the variety
of savings programs available from First Federal Savings and Loan?
; Is the new Premier Account that pys up to V of a percent more than
current U.S. Treasury bill being well received? .
Does First Federal pay the highest rates and returns allowed by law?
Is there any bank or savings and loan that pays higher rates?
'Well, isn't it reassuring to be able to place so much confidence in First
Federal Savings and Loan. It's a friendly and professional place to
save, and a nice place to do business.

Cook says Hatfield not
a fiscal conservative
"Mark Hatfield's claim to
being a fiscal conservative
has no basis in fact," State
Senator Vern Cook told a
group of Democrats attending
a no-host dinner in Heppner on
Tuesday. i
. Cook, a Gresham Democrat,
was in town to campaign for
his bid to win Hatfield's seat in
the U.S. Senate.
The 22-year veteran of the
Oregon Senate said that Hat
field's voting record shows
that the state's senior senator
has consistently voted in favor
favor of massive deficit fed
eral budgets, and either voted
against or was absent during
votes to secure a balanced
federal budget.
In action before the Senate
Apporpriations Committee, of
which Hatfield is the fourth
rankin member, the Oregon
Republican voted yes eight out
of nine times to measures
calling for budgetary increa
ses, Cook said.
The Gresham Democrat :
also attacked Hatfield's at-
tendance record in the Senate,
stating that in 1977, he was
absent more than any other
Northwest senator. t"Oregon- ,
ians are entitled to more than
a part-time senator,' Cook .
said: '- " , .
"My position is to support a
balanced 'federal budget!'' he ',
said, a goal that he believes is' "
possible if gorernment spend
ing is curtailed.
Inflation can be curbed,
Cook said, by "removing
artificial restriction on trade. .
We need to deregulate trans
portationthe rail and truck
ing industries." Cook also
suggested establishing a nat
ional import commission,
which would allow inter
national trade to "be a
two-way street. . .For instan
ce, the oil producing nations
will have to offer a fair price
for their oil, or we say no to
exporting arms, food and
technology to them."
The medical industry should
also receive deregulation,
Cook said, stating that it is
"sheer idiocy for a govern
ment to limit the number of
hospital beds and even hospi
tals." He noted that currently,
two out of three qualified ,
medical school applicants are
turned down. "The medical
schools should be opened up,"'
he said. "If they were, we
wouldn't have the problem of
finding doctors" to serve in
Heppner, Condon or Fossil. "
' ' Cook'said he believes "it isy
the responsibility of a senator
; to Vvote the will j'o"f 'his 1
constituents whenever their"
will is known.-"i He blasted
Hatfield for not doing so on the
' Panama .Canal treaty issue, :
.which ,he said the majority of
Oregonians opposed. "Hat
field has made it clear that he
will do his thing, even if 93 per
cent of his constituents dis
agree. That's why it's better to
know where Hatfield stands on
the issues, now, rather than
later," he said.
The Gresham lawmaker
said that the central thrust of
his campaign "is to nail
Hatfield to his record," which
he characterized as "lousy."
Hatfield has repeatedly
refused invitations to debate
Cook, the Democrat noted,
"because he's afraid for the '
people to knoV what J his
1 record is." f' ti
Cook noted that he lost threev
weeks of campaign timedue1.'
