Curious
To the editor:
Last week's paper contained
a curious statement under the
road department report, con-
cerning roads in the aftermath
of last Sunday's storm;
all roads were passable if care
was taken." Storm conditions
render any traffic except four
wheel drives from negotiating
the detour through a stubble
field around a washed-out
cattle crossing on our road.
Farmers' tax dollars should
return to them in the form of
passable roads. But for over
two years, this section of road
has never received a comple
ted patching job. Knowing
how this has added to our own
vehicle costs. I'm sure this has
added considerably to the
maintenance of the school bus
which must negotiate this
route.

across America had worked
long and hard to have their
day on the Senate floor.
But alas, our cvn Senator
Packwood decided that the
constitutional process was not
valid this time, since its out
come might be counter to his
personal views. Hence, the
filibuster led by him. "Our"
Senator decided that he not
only wanted his ideas to rule,
but he decided to deny the
right of his opposition to even
be heard. In my view, his
actions were un-American,
unethical and a prostitution of

To the editor :
It's not Reagan's recession
Jimmy Carter, when presi
dent, hurriedly built unto the
biggest deficit in the history of
this government with his
policy of big government, bid
spending, big taxes, etc. And,
in the face of non-stop infla

comes with it. he turned to the

While the liberal Democrats
are saying it's "Reagan's re
cession." the liberal House of
Representatives is fighting
the battle of a lifetime to stop
Reagan's programs for re
covery, constantly keeping the
thought permeating through
out the country thath "Rea
gan's programs don't work."
The TV news media is con
stantly attacking President
Reagan and other conserva
tive leaders while their efforts
and accomplishments are ig
nored or obscured by criti
cism. Reagan is not allowed to
communicate with the Ameri
can people as he would like
the constitutional intention of
the democratic process.
Senator Packwood forgot
that he is "our representa
tive" and that means all of
us. even those who are on the
other side of this particular
issue. I think Senator Pack
wood has a right to be heard.
Too bad he doesn't feel the
same about me and thousands
of Oregonians like me.

agree with Senator Pnck

cular issue. But what about
