David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers Letters To .The Editor A tribute to Lee Pettyjohn To the editor: When we are placed on this earth, no one knows what makes one man, or woman stand out above another. We are not to judge our fellow man. but we find ourselves considering one person a lead er, with abilities greater than our own. The area has lost a true caring and loved man, which will affect our lives. This man was a self-made man, and answered only to what was right. He never gave in to pressures that were unjust. He knew what the real world was all about, living Thanks for the thought To the editor: We"d like to thank the County Court and Heppner (Morrow) Chamber of Com merce for proposing the dam and lake be named after Oscar Peterson. We know he would Hats off! To the editor: So often we read in the paper of the things young people do - all bad. But I'd like to let the people of Heppner know that we had a van load of high school kids come here last week, who did good. Fourteen boys and girls with the assistant pastor from the West Linn Baptist church came to hold a Vacation Bible School each morning for the Friendship Baptist church here. They taught in two tents and a trailer in a member's Evening services held at IoneU.CC..

Thoughts of the long winter season seem like distant memories as Oregonians make their plans for travel. Most vacations will be pleas ant experiences filled with fun and laughter. Some, however, may turn out as miserable nightmares of an automobile breakdown in an unfamiliar city. Each year many tourists become the victims of fraudu lent automobile repair schemes aimed at separating the motorists from their money, stated the Oregon De partment of Justice. The Consumer Protection and Services Section of Ore gon's Department of Justice offers the following advice for automobile vacationers this summer: -Have your car serviced before setting out. Any known problems should be taken care of by your regular mechanic to avoid "potluck" choices forced on you by a breakdown. - If the car does break down, have mechanics from several different shops look at the problem and give an estimate before approving the repair. Heppner. Oregon. Thursday, i ,- - rt ia. 1 Heppner honestly with compassion for his fellow man. This man helped so many people over his life, more than even his family will ever know. He was what we call a giver, not a taker. He gave so much and asking a little in return. This man communicated with everyone he came into contact with, sharing his wisdom with out reservation. His life was not without pain, sorrow, dis appointment, and loss, but the greatest loss of all is ours. We will miss this great man, Lee Pettyjohn. Jim Green Arlington have appreciated it, but agree that the geographic name. Willow Creek, is more popular. Thanks for the thought! Sincerely, The Oscar Peterson family : backyard. Each afternoon they did several hours of community service - pulled weeds, clean ed house and split wood for senior citizens, went to the nursing home to sing while the boy clown made balloon ani mals for each patient. Their pay was an occasional cookie and thank you. This reply - "Thanks for letting us help you." Hats off to such kids! Irene An horn Heppner informal, with guitar music, an inspirational message, and some group participation. Children are especially wel come." she said. The first two services, July 7 and 14. will be led by Ginny Curinga. summer intern for the lone and Condon U.C.C. churches. On July 21 and 28, the Rev. Barker will lead the worship. Some shops may charge a small estimate fee for the service but consumers may be better off to spend a little in order to save a lot. - Be certain you know exact ly what work is to be done, and have the work detailed on the bill. Make sure you know what you are authorizing. - Ask what type of perform ance guarantee or parts war ranty you will get with the repair, and get the agreement in writing, if possible. -Ask that all defective parts be returned to you. It may not be possible to have all the parts returned - such as when a rebuilt alternator is exchan ged for the worn "core" alter nator - but it's a good idea to keep the parts and have your regular mechanic look at them niften you return home. This give you another check to make sure the repair work was necessary. Remember, even when you are uner the extra pressure of an automobile breakdown away from home, a little time taken in getting several esti mates might save you a great deal of trouble and money, the department concluded.

FACTS & FI6URES j Very few motorcycle acci dents happen from the rear. Nearly two-thirds of them occur right in front of the rider. And, another 32 percent of the accident involve the rider being hit from the side. Only seven percent of the accidents studied involved a rider being hit from behind. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation warns that strong gusty winds can be a hazard for motorcyclists. A rider can actually be moved across a whole lane of traffic if not prepared to handle the sudden wind. Motorists should be aware of this fact when they are crossing stretches of ex posed roadway along with motorcyclists.
