Supp
ort our local doctor
To the editor:
The local media states
"Support your local mer
chants, shop at home." It's a
shame they don't practice
what they preach and support
our local doctor.
When people have to leave
town to seek medical attention
they will make their trip
worthwhile and do their shop
ping out of town too.
Heppner should realize what
a fine doctor we have, and if
Dr. Gifford leaves, their dol
lars leave too.
Marlene Currin's letter in
the February 10 issue of the
Heppner Gazette-Times said
New food program for
needy starts in Heppner
A new program has been
started in Heppner to help the
area's needy. Called "Second
ary Food Cupboard." the pro
gram will give aid in addition
to the Oregon Food Share
Program.
Although the Secondary
Food Cupboard and the Ore
gon Food Share Program are
two entirely different opera
tions, they will both be used to
feed the needy in south Mor
row County, explains Neola
Mackey, who with the Rev. Ed
Watts, head of the South Mor
row Ministerial Assoc., start
ed the program recently.
Mackey says in many instan
ces, families may not qualify
for the food share program but
may be in desperate need of
food. Other families, who do
qualify for the food share
program, may still need addi
tional aid. she explained.
The Secondary Food Cup
board will be needing a large
supply of food to help feed the
needy in the area, Mackey
said.
"With the high unemploy
ment there are many people in
need of help this winter,"

what many Morrow County
residents feel. It was a great
letter and she should be com
mended. A few years back, thousands
of our taxpayer dollars were
spent recruiting a doctor, and
the hospital board and admin
istrator are in the process of
doing the same thing again.
Perhaps this is where the
problem lies.
Lets get off our duffs and
back Dr. Gifford. he's human
too.
Joan Hughes and 343 plus con
cerned citizens of the com
munity. Mackey said. "We have been
very proud of our commun
ity's support in the past. Very
few of our residents have ever
gone hungry or cold when
even we have learned of their
plight. Whenever we can help
it is our priviledge to do so.
However, we can't do it with
out the support of our com
munity," she said.

can be made by contacting the
