David and April flihon Sykes, Publishers Letters to the Editor Unhappy experience To the editor: Regarding the "Neighbors of park vocal about need for fence" artice, I will tell you "new-comers" to Heppner of our unhappy experience which happened on Easter Sunday, April 6, 1958. Our darling four-year old grandson, Neil Zinter, fell in the creek near the City Park north of the Library. He was drowned. As I Disheartening response To the editor: I find the response of the Heppner City Council to the request of concerned citizens for a safety fence on Willow Creek to be (at the very best) disheartening. 1. When a representative group of voters addresses its elected officials with a rea sonable request they should expect action-not stonewall ing, excuses and inertia. 2. Instead of doing nothing because you don't know if the voters would fund outside the tax limit, use the ballot box for what it was made - to find out the will of the people. Are the people of this town which so many of us are proud of against the protection of our children? Why not ask us, council? 3. Do I understand correctly that because you may not be Thanks to run volunteers To the editor: The members of the South Morrow County Education Association would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped put on another suc cessful Rolling Hills Run. Without a lot of help at regis tration, out on the course and at the finish, we would not have been able to put the run on. We wish to thank the mer chants of Heppner and Lex ington who donated prizes: Snack Shack fees To the editor: The county-owned fair grounds has a heavy usage by a large number of organiza tions, school functions, and other activities. The volunteer efforts of all persons, past and present, that strive in build ing, maintaining and updating said premises, would make a lengthy and interesting record. As has been the policy in the past, minimal usage fees have been set, which help to offset increasing utility costs, as well as the maintenance, School Lunch Menus Heppner High School Thursday, April 19 - Easter brunch.

I wish I could condemn each one of you to bury a little child that was the victim of a prevent able accidental death. Then we'd see what your priorities would be. I think the safety of our community's children is of the first priority. Staying within the tax limit seems to be your first priority. If you're afraid to ask the voters about funding a fence then you should trans fer funds within the budget so you can fit within your seem ingly sacrosanct budget limi tation. Thank you for your atten tion. Sincerely, (s) Rev. JohnS.
