"hot about getting the shaft
concerning bids tuken by the

and service of city vehicles.

Heppner gets painted
It looked like the City of
fleppner was having its spring
cleaning In late June as four
local business were having
their buildings painted lost
Friday.
Const -to-Coast was being
painted by the local Mace
Builders company. The work
was done by Cliff Aldrich and
Boh Scott. That company has
heen busy in recent weeks as
they have painted the Turner,
Van Marter and Bryant In
surance office and the Gard
ner's Men's Wear department
store.
Irrigon student gets A's
Lorlndu Ann Schnell of
Irrigon was one of 222 sutdents
at the Oregon College of
Education who were named to
the President's List spring
term for having earned all A
grudes.
Three other students from
Morrow County were named
to the honor roll for having 3.5
dime, he said.
But the sampler is not all that was sent back by the
imitation drug company.
Also sent was a disclaimer that said the company was out
of pills and so it could not send the samples.
The company also sent another ad about books it sells on
other drugs.
The company sells 12 books about other drugs. The books
include: how to grow mushrooms (cost is $2.50), the super pot
guide for $1, how to make hush at home for $1, how to extract
LSD from two kinds of seeds for $1, how to extract mescaline .
from peyolc for $1, how to muke lettuce opium for $1,
bananas and nutmeg for a high for $1 and toads and peanuts
for a high for $t. A person can buy the entire collection of 12
books for $9. Also availuhle is vanish, disappear and change
your intentity information for $1.50.
What rcully bothers Doherty, is that nothing that company
is doing is illegal under the present laws.
The Food and Drug Administration does not require
permit unless a company repackages or manufactures drugs
and this company only sells then, Doherty said. The creation
or delivery of a counterfeit substance is prohibited by law but
the company is not making or delivering counterfeit
substances.
With Uie present laws, a counterfeit substance needs to
have labeling with the proper trademark, trade name or
other identification marks of the true drug. The company has
avoided the exact identification marks but has made the
drugs the same size, color and they have a similar
identification mark.
Doherty suid real illegal drugs similar to the ones sent to
him are called. "Christmas Trees" and are selling for $1
apiece in the Willamette Valley.
"People are making money off the youngsters," Doherty
said. "Hut they ore within the limits of the law when sold
properly. They think they are getting speed but they are
being deceived."
Doherty said even though they are imitation, they are not
safe because they are ijn effective body stimulant that can
make a person stay awake. Because they contain caffeine,
they arc not safe because an excess can cause heart
defribula'inns. A seventh death caused by caffeine has been
confirmed recently, Doherty said.
Psuedoefidrine, which is mixed in with the caffeine in the
Imitation speed, is also a stimulant and a decongestant that
mildly affects the central nervous system. Doherty said he
does not know if the drug can be physically addictive but he is
sure it can be mentally addictive.
"What worries me is that kids will try the imitation speed
and say. 'Speed ain't so bud,' " Doherty said. "And then they
are off and running in drug traffikking. Who knows what
druHs they have tried? They don't even know what they have
tried."

a committee was formed to
look at the bids more closely.
' According to Troxell, Police
Chief Gilman and City Ad
ministrator Marshall Lovgren
told the committee they want
ed the police car to continue to
be serviced at the Arco station
even if It did cost a little more.
Troxell added that committee
chairman Frank Pearson told
him that the 76 station got the
bid because it needed the
business a little more.
"They could have given all
three of the stations that made
bids some of the business
instead of giving me the
shaft." Troxell said.
Troxell added that he is also
upset about the servicing of
the city because vehicles that

Besides being pressure tested to 666 feet under

Bulova has ever made. All have ebony dials and

line-but the city council hat
already decided which sta
tions will do the servicing.
Lovgren said he did not talk
to the committee but he did
say, "The city council has the
right to reject any or all bids."
He added that Troxell did not
bid a discount on the pump
price which was requested by
the council.
Chief Gilman said he did not
go to the committee either but
he was asked by the commit
tee what he thought should be
done with the police car.
Gilman told the committee he
is "happy with where the car
is being serviced" and that no
matter where the committee
decided it should be serviced,
he did not want it to be
changed around from station
to station.
And we have one for you.
