David and April Jlilton Sykes, Publishers Letters to the Editor Commends gentlemanly campaign To the editor: Now that the Primary Elec tion is over and the dust is settling, please permit me to take this means to congratu late Mr. French am) to thank Mr. Townsend. In my opinion each conducted gentlemenly campaigns. It is my firm belief that a person who runs for public office performs a public ser vice even if he or she does not prevail. Irv Townsend is a courageous citizen who "got involved" and he certainly has Oregon weather research To the editor: I am doing research into various aspects of the weather and climate of Oregon and wonder if, perhaps, some of your readers could assist me. Some of the topics that I am examining focus on different ways in which weather or climate have influenced (di rectly or indirectly) the res idents of North Central Ore gon. For example, what as pects of the North Central Oregon climate do residents like best? What are some of the worst features? To what extent, if any, did the climate of your region influence res idents to move there? I would be interested in learning if the move was from another part of Oregon. If so, are there climatic features of that for Open letter to Senator Hatfield To the editor: Honorable Mark O. Hatfield Hart Senate Office Building Washington D.C., 20510 Dear Senator Hatfield: Although the represented 930,000 acres is considerably more than our own wilderness plan, Associated Oregon Log gers is pleased with your recent wilderness package. WhUe we are not particularly anxious to see 150 million board feet of planned harvest placed into wilderness, we feel the resolution of this 12-year-old debate and argument is worth far more than the affec ted footage to be locked up. We agree with you that this issue absolutely must be resol ved. We are very pleased with the sufficiency language you included that will release for further forest service man agement the 2 million acres of roadless areas not included in your wilderness plan. With the delaration that the current environmental impact state ments (EIS) are valid, the 700 million board feet of sales held pending a resolution will now become available for harvest. This package should stop confrontation between preser vationist groups and timber producers. It should, once and for all, take the question of what happens to our timber I would like to say thank me with votes and write-in votes in my campaign for the office of Morrow County Clerk. To all of the friends who helped by P""ing up signs and posters, addressing mail anu ioral support - THANK YOU. , Barbara Bloods worth, Morrow County Clerk - OWNt5 tCWSFAPES my respect. Oregon is better for his efforts. In the coming months I look forward to listening to the people in district 59 and developing the issues, and discussing them publicly and perhaps debating with Mr. French. I pledge my best efforts to conduct a high-level, issue oriented campaign from now through the General Elec tion in November. Yours truly, (s)Jesse Himmelsbach mer place that readers miss... or don't miss. Also, I would be interested in learning of local differences in the weather and climate from one place to another. Perhaps some readers could describe some of the ways in which the local landscape changes during different wea ther conditions-sun, clouds, snow, rain, fog, etc., as well as some seasonal landscape changes. Finally, if any reader has some unique or distinctive photo (historical or recent) or unusual weather-related story or prophecy, I would be inter ested in knowing cf such. Thank you for bringing my requests to your readers. sincerely (s) Raymond R. Hatton Professor of Geography lands out of the judiciary system and place it back into the hands of the professionals who should be making the decisions in the first place. We commend your persev erance 'and dedication to the future of Oregon's vital timber industry. We have all waited too long and we know you have worked long and hard to reach this consensus. We thank you and stand ready to help you in any way to see this proposal through successful passage before congressional recess.

What I am asking and say ing is that every man, woman and child-(with emphasis on child), should be able to have as much as we can provide outside as well as inside the Morrow County School systems-concerning the particip ation in the liberal and fine arts in any way, shape of form. As it concerns the Library and Museum, this applies to reference material and programs applicable to our rural area and life styles. Currently, the Library Museum is being patronized not only by the citizens of Heppner, but also by people from throughout the whole of Morrow County. With a min imum of effort and expense this use can be broadened and the present facilities utilized to the fullest extent. Now, with the usage and study of geneology being the third lar gest hobby in the United States, the Library-Museum must and should play a defin ite and increasingly important Seeks tokens To the editor: I am a lover of history and I have a somewhat unusual hobby. I collect old tokens used by stores, barber shops, lumber companies, saloons, forts, and other businesses years ago. The tokens were "good for" $1.00, 50 cents, 25 cents, 124 cents or such in trade or merchandise or "good for" loaf of bread, one drink, one shave, one ride or whatever. They were usually made of metal, and while having the general appear ance of a coin, they were made in all shapes and sizes with some picturing elephants, cows, birds, and buildings. D.A.

It is In operation, and on a national level the Library Museum must be considered to play an active part in the National Archives "Inter -Library Loan System". Don, I don't expect you to keep abreast of every whim a "Grammy" comes up with. What I am trying to say is it is important to me to get and keep as much here at a local level for your kids, grandkids, and great grandkids as this old body will allow me to speak up for. Mrs. Margaret Hays tells me that she has visited with you about a line in the "com puter". ..For all her wonderful work and many hours of vol unteer labor concerning the local family histories. The Library-Museum is not strictly a City operation. It is being used on a county-wide-basis-serving us all and the heirs of both me and thee. Most recently an excellent example is the puppet show from the State Library. This was well attended (packed wall-to-wall) by citizens from throughout the county. Thank you for your few minutes to read and consider what I've tried to say. (Not always "well", just "steady") (s ) Cork Norene Wife, Mother, Grammy & Con cerned Citizen I have reason to believe that some of these tokens were used in your area and I would be most interested in obtain ing some of them for my collection. I would like to hear from anyone having one or more of these tokens or from anyone that might be able to help me. Any help that you can give me of any kind is greatly appreci ated.
