To the Editor: I would like to rebut some of Van Rietmanns' remarks in his letter shown in the September 3 issue of the Gazette. " His statement on No. 4, that low users of smaller amounts of electricity will get a break, is a bunch of baloney. Some friends and I compared our electric bills and though some heat with wood, their bills were considerably higher than those that heat and have an all electric home. Having an all electric home doesn't mean that they are in a high income bracket either. Some live where they can because of their income and( health. What do they do? Some cannot heat otherwise as they iray live in a mobile home. (Ever see a mobile home go up in flames? Not much chance of an older person escaping from it.) I don't see many of the big irrigators cutting their vaca tions to the Bahamas, Hawaii or some other place, but what do the low income people cut? Their food, clothing, the heat that will keep them warm in the winter and maybe a bit of cool air from a miserable fan Wouldn't it be nice To the Editor: Wouldn't it be nice if just once an organization that claims to be of the people and for the people actually listen ed to the everyday, small consuming, average tax pay ing people that make up the majority but always have the least powerful voices? And wouldn't it be nice if Weddings Davis McElligott Catherine McElligott, Seattle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dick McElligott, lone, became the bride of Amos Davis, Tacoma, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Freeman, of Portland on July 18, at 3 p.m. The ceremony was read by Father John Cornelius at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Seattle. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a gown she had created of antique tussah silk, tied with a satin ribbon sash. The lace bodice was buttoned with pearl buttons. Her illusion veil fell from a matching Juliet cap trimmed with tiny pearls. She carried a cascade bouquet of cream roses, small coral lilies, baby's breath and ferns. Matron of honor was Mary Pat Collins, sister of the bride, of Nome, Alaska. Best man was Laurence Lovery, of Portland, friend of the groom. Attendants were Leni Igaton and Benny Ross, both of Portland, friends of the bride and groom. Wedding music was played by Stewart Whitney on flute, Michael Hill on piano, and Debbie Bishop was vocalist, all friends of the bride and groom. Songs were: "With You I'm Born Again", "For All We Know", "Always and Forever", and "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." Following the ceremony, a reception and buffet dinner were held at Seattle University library. The three-tiered wedding cake, with cascades of miniature carnations was baked and decorated by the bride, and was served by her sister, Annie Hall, of Helena, Montana. After a honeymoon in Victoria, B.C., the couple are at home in Tacoma, where the groom is employed as a news photographer for station KSTW. Catherine is a registered nurse at Swedish Hospital in Seattle. Doherty Boyer Valerie Boyer and Tony Doherty will be married Saturday, September 12, in a 3 p.m. ceremony at the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mel Boyer, Lexington. Friends and neighbors are cordially invited to attend. Scssser irrigators in the summer. Real neat, huh? Very few low income or welfare persons have the money to even get out of town, let alone some port far away. I can't see any big irrigator going bankrupt with all the tax cuts and ins and outs provided for them on their income taxes, but what do the folks on the payroll have? I am sorry but I can't cry for the big farmers or irrigators either one. The big guys seem to have the pull, but remember it is the little guys that are of the bigger percentage in the Columbia Basin Co-op, at least I thought it was called a co-op. What has happened that the little guys don't have any say in the way the percentages of the increases go. Don't we count? If not, why not? PGE electric users are getting decreases, what is wrong that BPA users don't get the same. How about some answers to these and many more ques tions that have been asked and not answered. A concerned and hurting payer of killowatts, Johanne Wood, Heppner, Oregon 97836 these organizations that claim to serve the people actually acted to give those average people the best break for a change instead of what ever is left over? If a small organization like Columbia Basin Electric Co op, in small communities like ours won't do this, there's no hope for any of us anymore. John S.
