David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers WW & LETTERS TO Not laughing To the editor: I always read Justine Weatherford's column be cause it is usually good for a laugh. I read her column last week and I am not laughing. I also attended the Heppner High School production of the play, "Gift of Murder!", very professionally directed by Mr. Larry Cerullo. I feel that the acid review that Justine chose to bestow on the readers of the Gazette-Times was uncalled for. Obviously, her mother never taught her that if you can't say something helpful, "Shut Up!" I think that the cast did a marvelous job. Let's face it, Justine, movie and stage stars lead sophisticated, rather decadent lives from time to time. They smoke, they drink, etc. If you were so incensed, why didnt you leave? Cigarettes were lit while in the hands and were out before they even got to the mouths of the cast. With the exception of I applaud To the editor: I attended the recent Hep pner High School play "A Gift of Murder!" Presenting the play required long hours of work by many people. Mr. Cerullo and his group spent evenings and weekends in preparation. The cast was composed entirely of students and they were well prepared.

Maker-Bakers prepare breakfast By CARRI BROWNFIELD At the last meeting of the Maker-Bakers 4-H Club, members made their own breakfast. They made cinna mon toast and two kinds of cocoa ; instant and cooked. The girls talked about which kind of cocoa they liked the best. Most liked the cooked better. The club is off to a good start. The next meeting will be Saturday. Dec. 18, from 11 a.m. to l p.m. Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, December 16, 1982 fiwpapmr of EDITOR the lead, I saw no actual smoking (No word pun inten ded) by the cast and I am so convinced at Miss Bown's ability to portray her charac ter, that it could have been illusion. I do not smoke cigar ettes, or allow smoking in my home. I do feel that cancer can happen as a result of smoking. However, I am here to tell you that hateful journalism does its share of eating away also and Justine's nasty review absolutely killed me. Those kids, under Cerullo's direc tion, did a good job of acting. Those cigarettes were so full of holes, it's a wonder they did not disintegrate in the actors' hands! Their director saw to that so no smoke could be inhaled. Take heart, though Justine. There's a play just for you. It'll be called "Puss 'n Boots." Watch for it! Judith Paine Heppner you all The set looked terrific and I enjoyed the play. I know first hand that those involved in producing the play enjoyed the experience. Thank you Mr. Cerullo and thank you students. I applaud you all. Sincerely, Liz Curtis Heppner Gun Safety Club to begin Gary Munkers of Lexington will start a 4-H Gun Safety Club in January, announced John Nordheim, Morrow County extension agent.

GIFT-GIVING How did gift-giving come to be associated with the Christ mas holiday? The tradition probably goes all the way back to the story of the three Magi, or wise men, who brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh when they came to Bethlehem to do honor to the newly-born Christ.
