David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers J Letters To The Editor Trust your budget committee Morrow County does not have funds available to launch an advertising campaign in order to win votes for the Tuesday, June 29 election in support of the operating bud get. There will not be display ads asking for "yes" votes, and there will not be ads with neighbors names asking you to join in. In the past weeks there have been newspaper articles ex plaining the cuts that were made to the previously defeat ed budget In a previous letter, I explained the savings result ing from those cuts. To recap, the tax levy requested is lower by 38 cents than the current tax rate. The proposed ex penditures are lower than this year's by $47,100. The budget committee has tried to find the most economical way of pro viding service to the citizens of Morrow County. Support the freeze To the editor: The Soviet Union and the United States now have 50,000 nuclear warheads. With only a small fraction of those deva stating weapons each side could obliterate the other. In a nuclear exchange there would be no winner and few surviv ors. Those who did survive would be without food, water or electricity. Most would be wounded without hospitals or medical care. The nuclear exchange would make vast areas uninhabitable because of radioactivity. The ozone would be damaged, food pro duction would cease, most animals, including us, would be blinded. Civilization would be destroyed. Surely a nuclear freeze -with 30,000 warheads still in our arsenal ready to go at the touch of a button - does not endanger us. Rather, it is a first step to reduce nuclear Thanks for the opportunity To the editor: This letter is to offer thanks for the opportunity of running for governor of Oregon, andt for the chance to speak out on vital questions which needed to be addressed. I am proud to be a democrat in 1982. Solutions to Oregon's economic dilemma are not coming from the current, re publican administration. We will need strong leadership to propose and implement solu tions to the problems of nuclear versus renewable energy, help for small busi ness, wise use and develop ment of our human resources and natural resources. Simply blaming Reagonomics is not enough. There are still work A.F.S.

It is not easy to produce a practical budget in a time of economic chaos. Give the committee a vote of confi dence. Vote "yes", June 29 on the tax levy. Dorothy Krebs, Chairman, Morrow County , Budget Committee armaments. To go forward on the nuclear arms race is to march to oblivion. In Oregon we are urging people to sign an initiative petition that would place the critical issue of mutual, veri fiable nuclear freeze on the general election ballot in Nov ember 1982.

Sincerely, Jim Weaver Member of Congress able alternatives in spite of federal fiscal policies. Now is the time to rally behind the progressive demo cratic nominee, Ted Kulongo ski.
