We always pass them on to our people on the floors because it is their dedi cation that patients are re sponding to. Our purpose in writing this letter, and enclosing a copy of a recent patient's letter is to publicly acknowledge our ap preciation of our fine staff. Were it not for their attitude, capabilities, and deep concern for the people in their care, our patients would not leave with a warm feeling for the hospital and we would not receive the nice letters. Sincerely, A.K. Felt Administrator Sandra Hanna, R.N.

EDITOR PJVIJL staff pner had a hospital as we live in Portland and it would have been dangerous to transport back to Portland for treat ment. Your staff should be commended for their excel lent care and above all, their personal attention. These things are often lacking in big hospitals. I especially appre ciated being able to visit as much as I did, being away from home. The staff was very considerate of me and our large family that came up on the weekend to bring our motor home for transportation home. We were very impres sed with the care Dr. Koznek gave Glen taking time both for consultation with our Port land doctors and personal at tention. We had an appointment at the medical school Tuesday here in Portland. Both oncolo gists that saw Glen were pleased with his progress and the treatment he received in Heppner. Please let your staff know of our appreciation and we hope you all keep up the good work. Sincerely, Joan M. Wilcox it is over, I wouldn't have missed it for anything.

Information should be given to the sheriff or state police and can be treated confidentially. It is possible that these same people are the ones who deface road signs, dump litter and are careless with fire. VVe urge the public to report any suspicious behavior and to For the To the editor: Recently there has been quite a concern over the pur chase of a polygraph machine by the sheriff's office for use in Morrow County to assist law enforcement officers in criminal investigations. I feel the concern generated has been for the most part negative. I hope to give you a little insight to the benefits of the polygraph. Police officers are constant ly having to change suspect interview techniques due to the everchangmg U.S. Su preme Court decisions relat ing to suspects' rights. These restraints have assisted in many criminals going un charged with crimes against you and others. A good poly graph examiner under normal circumstances can get the suspect to tell the truth, and if not can get a good idea of what Substitute teachers needed in Morrow Co. Former teachers who are interested in doing substitute teaching for the Morrow Coun ty School District are eneour ' aged to contact the school district office in Lexington and talk to John Edmundson.

Very truly yours, Lucille Feck Sec.-Treas, Morrow County Cabin Owners Lexington, Oregon 97839 good guys other persons are involved in crime and where property can be recovered, If the citizens of this county are truly concerned about the ever increasing crime rate, then show it by supporting your law enforcement officers in any way you can. Start watch programs, or just be good neighbors. But. please do not support more restraints on your police, the police are the last line of defense before the military. Which would you prefer. I do not consider the pur chase of a polygraph an inap propriate expenditure; how ever, I am prejudiced. I happen to be for the good guys not the criminals. Sincerely, Michael J.
