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

Dept. of Justice offers
vacation auto tips
u s vacation time
s vacation time again.
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.

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.

that the geographic name.

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!

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.
