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. ,

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

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.

Heppner, Oregon
Dear Don:
"FunoV'Please remember Us
I would like to have a few
words with you concerning the
Heppner Library and Museum
and taking into consideration
your busy schedule, have de
cided to accomplish this by
way of this letter.
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

States, the Library-Museum
must and should play a defin

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.

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")

I have reason to believe that
some of these tokens were
used in your area and I would
be most interested in obtain
