""LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
Should funds be
used for solar
heat project?
To the Editor;
During the summer of 1978,
a fund drive was initiated to
raise money to operate the
municipal swimming pool if
funding was not to be avail
able from the city. Approxim
ately $3,000 was raised, but
wasn't needed because the
pool operation was again run
with city tax money.
The Heppner Lions Club was
named caretaker of the fund
and the money was to be used
for future operation, capital
improvements, and general
maintenance purposes.
This spring the pool was
painted. The city did not
budget for this but it had to be
done. The Heppner Lions Club
approved a disbursement of
$683 from the fund to help pay
for the materials.
Our club will be undertaking
a project to provide solar
heating for the pool. We are
asking for public comment
concerning use of the remain
ing funds, approximately
$2,600, to help defray the cost
of this project.
Please contact Terry
Hughes, president of the
Heppner Lions, or any other
club member concerning this
proposal. If we don't hear
substantial opposition to the
use of these funds by June 5,
we will assume we have the
approval of the community to
use the money.
Sincerely,
Heppner Lions Club
Heppner, Oregon
Needs help
To the Editor:
The Ackley Teen Club has
been pretty much in limbo for
the past month. One thing will
solve the problem that we
have. That one thing is adult
supervision.
The club has proven to be a
success in the fact that many
kids that would otherwise be
wandering around town have
found a place to congregate
and enjoy themselves. We've
also raised money that we
gave away in the form of
scholarships at graduation.
I must stress the fact that
this is not one of my many
business ventures. This is a
non-prof it organization, aimed
at giving the kids some form
of recreation. However, we
need help.
I'm asking any adult that
could spare a few hours each
weekend to call me if they
would like to help. I also would
like an adult that could
coordinate adult supervision.
There is no pay involved and
it's not glamour work, but you
would be doing a real service
to the community and to its
young people.
Please call me at home
(676-5591) or leave your name
and number at the high school
(676-9138) if you would like to
help.
Thank you,
Jim Ackley
JUSTICE
COURT
d", i in... I ummrnmmm
The Justice court report for
the past week will be included
in next week's Gazette-Times.
Not pleasant
reading
it the Editor:
Enclosed is a copy of a letter
I wrote to Sen. Gardner, who
is chairman of the subcom
mittee deciding important
spending priorities for our
state.
Anyone having an opinion on
any area of funding should
write to Sen. Gardner.
Yours truly,
Meg Murray
Sen. Jim Gardner, Chairman
Ways & Means Subcommittee
State Capitol
Salem, Oregon 97310
Dear Sen. Gardner:
The headlines in the paper
last night that the legislature
may cut funds for athletics at
state universities and colleges
was not pleasant reading. I
agree that the program should
concentrate more on student
athletes, not paid performers,
but the quality of life in
Oregon for all of us, not just
students, would be damaged if
an axe is taken to athletic
programs.
Likewise, the quality of life
in Eastern Oregon would be
damaged if we cannot main
tain a training program for
nurses in Eastern Oregon.
People from Eastern Oregon,
trained in a program here,
tend much more to stay in
Eastern Oregon to work
because they like it here. And
we need to attract more
nurses to the area. We have
difficulty attracting compe
tent professional help and
need all the help we can get.
This is a vital service.
Another vital service to the
whole nation is the Agricul
tural Research funding for
OSU. This surely couldn't be
cut, unless by an ostrich.
While I am listing my
priorities. I would like to
emphasize that the tri-county
area of Wheeler, Gilliam and
Morrow (particularly the for
mer two) need industry to
allow them to have jobs for
their youth. Surely some use
can be made of the Arlington
Pebble Springs site. This is a
depressed area eager to do
something constructive. If
PGE is truly going to be
denied their nuclear plant,
something needs to be done to
utilize their investment in this
area of the state. I somehow
can't believe that we would
allow them to build across the
Columbia in Washington
State.
Sincerely,
Margaret G.Murray
