An invitation
To the Editor:
I am writing to you in my
capacity as president of the
Salem Jaycees. It is my
understanding that in the past,
your city has had an active
and productive Jaycee Chapt
er. On behalf of the Oregon
Jaycees and the Salem Jay
cees, I wish to extend an
invitation to the young men of
your community to once again
enjoy the benefits and associa
tions of Jaycee membership.
The board of directors of the
Salem Jaycees has authorized
our chapter to sponsor the
establishment of a new Jaycee
organization for the city of
Heppner. This means that
provided at least 20 young
men of your -community
between the ages of 18 to 35
express an interest in becom
ing Jaycees, the Salem Chapt
er will, at its own cost, send a
chapter management team to
your city, assist those young
men in establishing their own
chapter, and purchase for
them, all materials necessary
to establish that chapter. In
addition, for the first 20
members, Salem will contri
bute $3 each toward their first
year membership dues, thus
making the cost of initial
membership only $25. Finally,
the Salem chapter will provide
ongoing consultation to the
officers and board of directors
of the new Heppner Jaycees so
long as they desire.
Interested young men
should contact Mr. Harold
McLean, deputy district at
torney for Morrow County at
676-5269 or 676-5401.
Sincerely,
N.Thomas Wilson
Good Sense
To the editor:
I think BMCC is an import
ant part of our communities.
Groups that build up our
community need to be suppor
ted and encouraged. And
BMCC builds up all our
communities.
It is a source of trained,
skilled workers. It is home to
intelligent, active teachers
and staff who are important
additions to our community
life. The college brings us
theater and music that's
otherwise hours distant. An
it's run efficiently with an ear
to the desires of our com
munities - that's the real icing
on the cake.
I'm particularly biased in
favor of BMCC because of the
top quality extension courses
I've taken in my home town of
Heppner. t
I think it's good sense -business
wise and community
citizenship wise - to pass the
BMCC budget.

To the editor:
I am a student at Blue
Mountain Community College.
I started my college career in
1978 in the Law Enforcement
program at Blue Mountain.
After one year of schooling, I
was able to get a job with the
Morrow County Sheriff's
Office and then later I was a
security officer for Payless
Drug Stores.
After being involved in Law
Enforcement I discovered it
was not the career for me. I
was then able to go back to
Blue Mountain to find another
Gaiette-Timet.Jleppner. Oregon, Thurdy,
The Editor
career.
If Blue Mountain was not in
this area, I don't think I would
attempt to go back to school.
The next closest college in the
area is Eastern Oregon State
College. The tuition at EOSC is
double that of Blue Mountain.
I am very impressr with
Blue Mountain Community
College and I hope you are too.
Please vote yes for BMCC!
Thank you,

'Yes' vote a must
To the editor:
This letter is written in
support of the March 30, 1982,
levy election to support the
Blue Mountain Community
College budget.
In addition to the full time
students, who are able to gain
higher education by having a
college close to home, the field
extension programs offer a
real opportunity for our citi
zens of all ages. Pioneer
Memorial Hospital recently
was able to offer an Emer
gency Medical Technician
refresher course to ten of our
local folks as an extension
project from BMCC
Of particular interest to us,
who are included in health
care delivery, are the BMCC
courses for licensed practical
nurses and the associate
degree program for registered
nurses. In recent years, sev
eral of our nursing assistants
have achieved these goals and
are employed in the Morrow
and Umatilla counties'
hospitals and nursing homes.
Some are now enrolled and
more are planned. These
people can and do commute,
working part-time while fur
thering their skills.
BMCC has no tax base, a yes
vote is a must in order to
continue serving our citizens.
Sincerely,
A.K. Felt
Administrator
Pioneer Memorial Hospital
Support BMCC's
budget
To the editor:
Blue Mountain Community
College presents its budget for
voters' approval Tuesday,
March 30, 1982. 1 would like to
urge all voters to support this
budget for operating Blue
Mountain Community College
for the next year. BMCC does
not have a tax base and we
must vote for their operating
levy to allow them to continue
to educate people in our area.
With the increasing costs in
the four-year institutions,
BMCC's educational offerings
become more important to
people in our area. BMCC has
done an excellent job of
meeting the educational needs
in our thinly populated district
and deserves our support. I
strongly urge a YES vote to
continue this unique and
excellent educational institu
tion in our area.
Very truly yours,
Abrams & Kuhn

Question: "Morrow Co, was
told last week that they would
have to move prisoners from
the Umatilla Co. Jail because
of overcrowding. Morrow Co.
was forcedjo find emergency
temporary housing for their
four prisoners at the Wasco
Co. Jail at The Dalles. What do
you think the solution to the
jail problem is?"
"I think we could use one (a
jail)." said Alberta Johannes,
Heppner. "I worked as a
matron at Brown Co. Jail at
Green Bay Wisconsin. They
need one here, where we could
have juveniles and women,
too. They shouldn't put them
with the hardened criminals."
The only president of the
United States to serve as a
Chief Justice of the Su
preme Court was William
Howard Taft, whose term
ran from 1921 to 1930.
