Letters To
Wake up!
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. Sincerely,
an old Heppnerian,
Irene Nolan, Pendleton
