Letters to the
An alternative.
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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Chuck Holt

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.
Sincerely,
Sylvia McDaniel
Morrow County Treasurer
