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
