SIX The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, June 21,
Lutheran-Methodist
VBS attended
98 area youngsters
Ninety-eight youngsters
from beginning three year
olds to sixth graders enjoyed a
week of Bible instruction and
fun at the 1979 Vacation Bible
School from June 11-15 spon
sored by United Methodist and
Hope Lutheran churches.
The combined church school
has increased its attendance
every year for the last three,
according to Rev. Steve Tol
lefson of United Methodist,
growing from 89 to 98 since
last year. Last year, the
school taught-three year olds
for the first time and contin
ued the program this year.
"They loved it," said Tollef
son, noting the art work and
painting that the young set
were working on.
The boys and girls were
divided into classes according
to their grade and age and
went through a series of
activities at different times.
Those activities ranged from
Bible class, art, music, and
recess with games like duck,
duck, goose and London
bridges falling down and
refreshments such as cookies
and kool aid.

not appreciated by some unthinking folks. You might know a
few who say, "Well, I'll help but what is there for me?"
Faye Wilson's letter was so sharp. We are all thinking of
Hubert and his sudden and completely unexpected need for
hospitalization. Yes, any one of us may be the next to need it.
Merlin Cantin has given a great deal of time and effort in
trying to help the hospital. I for one, was very impressed with
the study made by the Northwest Medical Foundation, a
professional management group. Now board member Ed
Dick has told me that their terms for taking over the hospital
would be unreasonably high. Merlin wrote that our newest
county commissioner "has been so outspoken that she will
not even consider a church-affiliated group running the
hospital." This surprised me. I believe hospitals were started
by church people. I so admire Dorothy Krebs, that I hope the
above quotation is a mistake.
Merlin makes some good points there is a need for more
communication from hospital officials. He says "the board
continues to try to figure out how they can get the present
doctor to go down the road instead of trying to get along with
him and keep his patients here and not for him to send
patients outside the area to other hospitals." I don't know
anything about this and don't like to believe his statement
until I get more proof.
Merlin includes several other statements that I wonder
about, such as, "The hospital board, back against the wall,
has finally turned to us, the public, hoping that they might
wine, dine and threaten us to vote their way."
Well, so far, I have not had any offers of wining or
dining but I will vote yes for both budgets, knowing that
taxes are headed upward, because I don't want to threaten
anyone with being deprived of any really important services
because I neglected to vote for what I believe is right.
Back to superlative forms. My steadiest theme song is
that the worst thing that is happening here is that people
"rather not vote." They won't take the time and the trouble
to register and to vote in elections. Very small minorities of
registered voters decide the outcomes of many elections.
This is a most frightening national trend.
Local budget elections set the level of many services.
Our schools teach the differences between democracies and
dictatorships (I hope), but many people's minds seem to go
blank as soon as they leave school. Please vote. Vote for what
you feel is best and keep hoping your good vote will make

Besides Tollefson and John

30 staff members including
mothers and junior high
students.
The climax of the week of
Bible school was a special

children. Tollefson said he
was expecting a standing
