David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers Thanks, but no thanks Scout's food drive a huge success A canned food drive spon sored by local Cub Scouts was a huge success, reports Helen Riehl. a chairperson for the activity. Over $1,100 in food and cash was donated from residents in Heppner. Lexing ton and lone. Fanners in outlying areas also brought food to town for the drive. Riehl said. Contributions to the food drive, which was held Satur day. Dec. 11. were presented to the Heppner Neighborhood Center for their Christmas basket project and to help stock shelves at the center. The baskets and remaining food will be distributed to needy families in the area. To the editor: I have been a resident of Morrow County on and off for over SO years and my wife was raised in Heppner. We can both remember when it was a great honor for a young lady to be chosen to be an ambassa dor for Morrow County, as Morrow County Fair and Rode royalty The entire commun ity backed the queen and princesses. Whole families supported these daughters of Morrow County and some pretty terrific traditions were horn. We've seen these same tra ditions stomped into the ground and a horrible apathy grow in the community be cause the Rodeo Board has forgotten they serve the coun ty and not their own self-interests: each of them trving to be more important than the other We eot n cood look at this mess firsthand when our dauehter represented Morrow Countv last summer as a Morrow Countv Fair and Rodeo princess Because of pettiness, unethical proce dure, general disorganisation, anathv and traditions being trashed, mv daughter wrote the following letter to the rodeo hoard, after she had heen called hv Judv Currin. their secretary, who congrat ulated and informed Nancy that she had been chosen by the hoard to represent Morrow Countv as the Queen of the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo- TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Dear Board Members: Thank vou for the honor of heing chosen as queen of the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo for the 1981 rodeo sea son Due to circumstances and stipulations, of which you were aware when vou voted on me as votir queen. I am sorry to inform vou that I do not intend to accept vour nomina tion Sincerely. Nancy Paine I'd like to puhlically con gratulate mv daughter for having the character, and loyally to tradition, and the iust plain good sense to write the hoard and say "Thanks, but no thanks." Congratulations, Nancy. Your family is proud of you. Somehodv has to do the right thing because it is right. Sincerely. Richard Paine Heppner To the editor: I'm damned mad at the way my vote in opposition to the Congressional pay raise has been distorted and misrepre sented by the news wire ser vices and others. I am writing so your readers can clearly understand what happened, and why. in the House of Representatives. By law. all members of Congress would have been given a $17,300 pay increase if the House had taken no action. Mud As a member, of Congress opposed to any pay increase, 1 had opportunities on two con secutive votes to strike a blow at the size of the increase, and then try to kill the whole kit and kaboodle. On the first vole, the choice was between $17,300 or $9,000, I voted to lower the raise to the lower figure, limiting the damage if. God forbid, the attempt to kill the raise failed, on a tie vote of 208-208. That's the chronology, and my strategy, on the votes. If the wire services can't under stand that, then they belong In a slraitjacket. More impor tant, the Issue Isn't over yet, and I'll continue to work against a pay raise for mem bers of Congress at this time, when so many of my constl-' tuents are out of work, run ning out of unemployment benefits, and with so many others living In fear of losing their jobs.
