Big Mistake
To the editor:
I find it particularly dis
turbing to learn of the recent
news of our own fine, young
Doctor Joseph Gifford leaving
Heppner on April l.
It is perplexing at the least
to see a community with a
Chamber of Commerce, hos
pital, good schools and gen
erally stable economic condi
tions have this happen. I
would think the young doctor's
dedication to his patients is a
very admirable quality today.
People should have empathy
for his duty. No shopkeeper,
restaurant owner, or farmer
gives all of the time. Why
don't our local agencies re
cruit help and add to our
community rather than let a
fine physician escape our
needs. What shall Heppner do
without him? Picture where
you will seek medical atten
tion and emergency treatment
from a physician.
I recall several instances
just since I've been a resident
that this young doctor has

A WIC clinic will be held

to be sure to keep their ap

For those needing fuel as

the program is on "hold" until
more money is released from
the state. Fuel assistance dol
lars are granted by the gov

rushed to the hospital during
the football season for those
injured. Not to mention get
ting emergency treatment for
patients who were in real
jeopardy. The flights to Port
land, the ambulance taking
patients to emergency sur
geries, certainly shows his
continued dedication and ser
vice to this community.
I. for one, believe it to be a
big mistake in letting this
doctor leave. Again, the Hep
pner community will loose
business. Unfortunately, fam
ilies will seek medical atten
tion away from our hometown.
And what of our local hospi
tal? Does it turn into a home
for the elderly only? I say,
let's not let it happen, let's
recruit, let's keep what we
have and add to it. How about

To the editor:
We are happy to see that the
Morrow County Historical
Society is working on a history
book for that area. In our
opinion, the books are valu
able now because of the ex
citement created in doing the
research, but the real value
lies in the fact that the infor
mation will be preserved for
generations to come.
We at the Times-Journal in
Condon are publishing the
same kind of book for Wheeler

whom have drifted into Mor

To the editor:
It sounds like a "Ripley's
Believe It' Or Not." but Ore
gon's state general fund bud
get is less per person In
Oregon than is each Oregon
inn's share of the federal
red-ink budget deficit for next
year.
The federal budget proposed
for next year is $843 billion.
Included in that figure is an
estimated $190 billion in defi
cit spending. (That estimate
may be conservative, others
ro up to $208 billion. By any
standard, it is an enormous
sea of red ink, breaking all
records.) By comparison, the
Oregon State General Fund
Budget will be no more than
$16 billion for next year, even
if times improve and new
revenue is voted. To avoid a
state deficit the amount may
even be less.

the nation's 226 million people.
Thus, every Oregon citizen
has an $890 share of the
estimated national deficit for
next year. But Oreflon will
collect no more than an av

residents for state general

All stale government runs
on only half of that $1.6 billion
