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,

you have enough liability

high priority with you? I wish
I could condemn each one of
you to bury a little child that
was the victim of a prevent

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
