TO THE EDITOR
Heppner 4th of July
display cancelled
To the Editor:
Two weeks ago the Heppner
Lions Club announced plans to
provide a 4th of July fireworks
display for the community.
During the last two weeks of
discussing these plans with
other groups and individuals,
we have concluded that hav
ing a fireworks display would
not be advisable.
The main reason for the
cancellation is that we do not
want to interfere or compete
with the annual celebrations
at lone and Condon. We hope
Urging funding for legal aid
To the Editor:
So many important social
services are being axed by the
president this year, it's hard
for people to keep track. One
which is targeted for total
elimination is legal services
for the poor. It would be a
great tragedy if the ability to
have a lawyer was restricted
to the wealthy.
The Oregon State Clients
Council is an association of
low-income Oregonians that
defends the interests of those ,
who must rely on legal aid. We
know that legal aid is often the
last resort for poor people who
have suffered injustice. Legal
aid is essential to protecting
the constitutional right of
millions of Americans.
Although the president
wants to eliminate legal
services entirely, the U.S.

George Koffler
Secretary
Senate seems to be willing to
simply gut the program. They
have passed a budget which
would reduce funding for
justice for poor people by 70
percent. The U.S. House of
Representatives has been
much more reasonable, bud
geting a cut of about 20
percent.
Our Senate delegation is ,
very influential and could
sway the decision to save legal
services. The Oregon State
Clients Council urges all
Oregonians to contact their
Senators by letter, phone,
telegram to urge reasonable
funding for legal services.

and help the children along
with their art. The program is
free to all children entering
kindergarten through junior
high school age. so no one will
have to feel left out due to a
lack of funds if they wish to
attend. The only thing they
will need to do however, is to
bring along a workshirt.
"Children who do attend this
summer will be encouraged to
enter some of their art in the
Morrow County Fair at the
end of the program. This could
be a great way for some of our
young pepole to share their
talent with the community."
