To the editor: Why don't the people of Hep pner wake up and do some thing for themselves? At one time there was a brick foundary out by the creek where the Fair Grounds is now. All the old brick bouses and brick buildings were made of these bricks. Why don't you go out to the creek where they quarried the stones that made the Morrow County Courthouse and put in a rock query there and use the stones to make foundations and houses out of them? If they could do it in 1902 you can surely do it now. Did you know that one alum inum pop can is equal to the energy of one-third cup of oil? Think of all the energy one could save with T.V. trays and other aluminum articles if recycled. Why doesn't the city and county put a $2 tax on dogs and collect it instead of the high taxes put on them and then just sit on your hands? Anyone who can afford to feed a dog can afford to pay $2 for taxes. I have a few other ideas that I may send in later. These two dollars will help to fill your coffins and also give people work and more people will stay in Heppner if they have jobs.
