Denny Smith To the Editor: We need men and women in Congress who know Ss much about earning a living and meeting a payroll as they do about spending taxes. Ore gon's incumbent 2nd District congressman has had a quar ter of a century to do something about balancing the federal budget and reduc ing inflation. We have an alternative -Denny Smith. He believes that government should only be involved in services that the people can not provide for themselves. He knows that a balanced budget can be achieved best by reducing government spending which is the root cause of inflation. I urge voters to consider the Republican candidate Denny Smith for the U.S. Congress. Sincerely, Stephen K. Peck Lexington Vote yes on No. 5 To the Editor: Pro-trapping forces and the fur industry justify trapping as an important method of' wildlife management against disease and starvation, by removing surplus animals. This argument fails in light of modern scientific approaches to wildlife management. Most naturalists agree that when wild animals reproduce to the point where food is no longer available, nature checks the population. Thus the fur industry's defense that it acts as a "game manager" is false. A trapping ban would not neces sarily cause populations to "increase astronomically. " They would naturally stabilize themselves, as demonstrated in Florida after the steel leghold trap was banned in 1972. Probably no instrument was ever invented that caused as Judge Smallmon Gov. Vic Atiyeh - A 1 1 111 1 vu,IBi. cp try . editor much pain and agony as the steel trap. It is cheap, light, fairly compact and conceal able. It is a torturous and terrifying device which is another blot on our record of civilization. Why are animals trapped? Because of man's vanity. We were given custodianship of the creatures of earth, but the Creator of all life would not condone the exploitation and abuse that many animals experience in this modern day and age. Many other countries are more civilized than the US because they have already outlawed the incongruous tor ment traps. I would like to remind people that no matter how much they pay for fur coats they are still second-hand and would be more becoming on the animals they were born on. The agony caused by traps is scarcely possible to exag gerate the suffering, thus endured from fear, from acute pain, maddened by thirst, and vain attempts to escape. All Christian voters with a conscience of mercy and compassion will surely to goddness vote yes on No. 5. Humanely yours and Kind Regards, Lois Winchester Rt. 2. Box 2401 Heppner Replace Ullman with Smith To the Editor: We need many changes to correct our mismanagement of government from the Pres ident on down the line. A good start for our 2nd Congress ional District would be to replace Al Ullman, who has been a part of the problem, with Denny Smith. If we didn't have so many Congressmen and Senators setting up a political career for themselves, then we would not have all the problems we face today. We need to elect those with a citizen's interest in the state, not professional politicians. When this takes vo Retain John Smallmon for District Court Judge Smallmon in July, 1980 because I felt he was the most qualified. His nine years as a judge in Hermiston and his 18 years as an attorney make him the most experienced candidate for the position of District Court J udge. I urge you to vote for J udge John Smallmon on November 4th. Paid for by the Committee to Helaln John Smallmon, District Court Judge, Tom Huddleaton, Co Chairman, Mike Hunter, TrMaurar. place we will not have such a misnmnnerment of govern ment with a bigger and bigger give away program, an ever increasing taxation, a contin uing and soaring inflation, a devaluation of the dollar (which is worth not more than 25 cents at the present time), a misguided energy crisis and a decreasing defense allowing the Soviet Union to pass us in many areas of military capa bility. We are only as strong as our National Defense. The power to tax is the power to destroy, so what chance have we without a change? Vote for Denny Smith, a thorough btliever in the free enterprise system; one who Relieves mere snould be a limitation of terms of Con gressmen and that we should elect citizens who will return after their public service, to live under the laws they have enacted. Carl M. Marquardt Box 582 Lexington. Ore. 97839 Bud Englert for sheriff To the Editor: I have known Bud Englert for approximately twenty years. I first became ac quainted with Bud while he was a member of the Hermis ton, Oregon, Police Depart ment. As an ex-police officer myself, while attending coll ege in La Grande, Oregon, I had on several occasions, the opportunity to work with Bud in Hermiston as a special police officer. During this association, I had the opoor tunity to observe Bud on a number of different occasions handling a variety of inci dents. I found Bud to be a highly professional and dedi cated police officer who has the respect of all who knew him. I am highly impressed with his expertise in handling people. He exhibited a great deal of compassion and empathy towards people -. never compromising his duty as a police officer to uphold the laws. Bud was also respected and held in highest esteem by his peers and Chief Bill Silvey, who was Bud's superior at his time of employment. Through the years, I have gained a great deal of additional re spect for Bud as a hard working, honest individual who possesses the highest of integrity. Bud Englert, without reser vation, would make Morrow county an excellent sheriff. Bud, having lived in Morrow County for a number of years, is well acquainted and would have the best interests of the citizens of Morrow County at heart at all times. Again, it is with a great deal of pleasure that I take this opportunity to recommend r To the Voters in Umatilla and Morrow Counties It is important to the people in Umatilla and Morrow Counties to retain Judge Smallmon as their District Court Judge in Hermiston. I appointed Judge Bud Englert as a well-qualified candidate for Sheriff of Morrow County. Frank Frink. Director Community Education Estacada, Oregon 97023 Interesting Law To the Editor: I read Steve Powell's letter with interest. Let me see if I have "Powell's Law of How Things Are" correct: Reporters are allowed to criticize anyone they choose (i.e. county com missioners, coaches, judges, voters, etc. ) . No one is allowed to criticize reporters. Interesting law. JohnS. Maas Heppner Rathbun only candidate for county sheriff To the Editor: Three persons (a Democrat, a Republican and an Indepen dent) are seeking election as Sheriff. It is encouraging to have a choice. But, how to make the choice? On the basis of incumbency? Party affilia tion? Who has the most signs along the highway? Whose . pickups have the cleanest white-sidewalls? Name famil iarity? Maybe. I've been in law enforce ment seven years (1973 to 1980). I've seen all kinds of officers, some with bushel baskets of diplomas and certificates, others with spit shines and GI haircuts, rook ies, technicians, ticket-punchers, screamers, face-men and space-men. The best officers I've seen are the ones who possess emotional stability, good per spective, judgement and self discipline. They respect the law and place it above their own interests. They preserve the independence of their judgement and scrupulously avoid favoritism. They accept .limitations in their personal lives in order to remain faithful to standards of pro fessionalism. They subordin ate their egos to the require ments of public service and justice. Doug Rathbun is not the handsomest of the candidates. BUT, Doug Rathbun is the most even-tempered, reliable, dedicated, impartial and the over-all best qualified cand idate. He is a straight-shooter. He is not ego-bound or spiteful. He can communicate and relate with others. He is the only candidate with a real platform (and it is a good one). He will be a good Sheriff and. because of that, I'm going to vote for him. Sincerely, Chuck Holt P.O. Box 791 Heppner Victor Atiyfeh Governor Elect Margo Sherer To the Editor: I am addressing the voters of Morrow County to ask themselves, "Do they want someone elected to the County Treasurer's office who is all ready to take over, or some one who is going to learn it all afterwards?" Margo Sherer is well qual ified to start now. Not only has she been on the job four years, she has all these qualities besides: 1. Meets the public well 2. Is sensitive to others' problems 3. Is the right age for the job 4. Has been well trained by her predecessor 5. Knows taxes and hand ling of money I want you to know I fully support Margo Sherer to be my successor as County Treasurer. Elect her Nov. 4th. I take this opportunity to express to you all, how much I have appreciated your confid ence in me the past 25 years that I have served as County Treasurer.
