Plans for Vietnam War Memorial
To the editor
Thu letter is intended to inform
you and your readers about our
organization and its goals
An II acre site in Portland's
Washington Park has been set aside
for the Vietnam Veterans of Oregon
Memorial The landscape architec
tural firm of Walker & Macy has
developed a conceptual design for a
"living memorial”
A "living memorial” , tn our
terms, means a place filled with
flowering trees and shrubs where
people can go to remember those
who are still missing or who died in
Vietnam, a memorial that recogmz
es the Vietnam War and also life
today
The entrance of the memorial will
have an information wall describing
the materials and plant life used in
Its construction Wisteria hanging
from an overhead arbor will cover
the 240' walk to the natural bowl
which is where the central acknowl
edgement of all Oregon Vietnam era
veterans will be Prom the central
point a spiral walkway will progress
out of the howl to a pedestrian
overpass and then follow at a gentle
gradient, along the natural contour
of the site Separate enclaves along
the walkway will honor Oregonians
killed in each year of the war and a
special area, on the inside of the
walkway, will honor the Missing In
Action Mount Hood can be viewed
from the MIA enclave The memor
lal will be dedicated in November of
1965
The Vietnam Veteran* of Oregon
Memorial Kund is now in the process
of raising SA5U.0M) to accomplish this
goal In order to make the memorial
a reality we need the support of all
Oregonians This is a stair wide
effort honoring all Oregon Vietnam
Veterans Tax deductible ilonations
may be sent to Vietnam Veterans of
Oregon Memorial Pund. sttwi SW

Problems of a “ credit community
To the editor
Until about Hi years ago I had
never written a letter to the editor
Now I've become nearly as prolific
as John Maas
About 10 years ago I wrote con
crrning problems facing merchants
in a "credit" community such as
Heppner After that letter appeared
in the Heppner Gazette several of
the Heppner business people told me
they wished their names had been
signed to the letter along with mine
At the risk of being redundant, I
want to share some of those proh
lems again
Credit given to our customer* is a
courtesy and a privilege It keeps
you from having to carry cash or a
check hook with you at all times
But if you do not pay that account
when you receive your statement the
next month you are putting us in the
same position you would be in if a
portion of your pay check was
withheld, through no fault of yours
and without your consent
I'm sure nearly every merchant in
town is willing to consent to an
extended period of time for regular
monthly payments when a purchase
is necessary and if arrangements
have been made to do that Hut we
can carry only a limited number of
those accounts because of what
happens to the value of the dollar as
we wait for It
The U S Dept of Commerce has
released the following statistics
showing how an account devalues
with age If your account is paid
when due the following month after
purchase, each dollar paid is worth
fl
If an uccount is not paid the
month following purchase, or cur
rent month, it goes into the 30 day
column If not paid that month it
goes into the 60 day column By then
each dollar is worth only t Mi to us
because of inflation and our costs of
carrying the account
If not paid
until it is in the 1H 0 day 16 month i
column that dollar is worth only 67
cents If we wait I year it is worth 45
cents If we wait 2 years it is worth
23 rents If we wait 3 years it is
worth 15cents If we wait 5 year* it
is worth I cent
We aren't saying we don t want
that devalued dollar you might owe
us We just don t want it to devalue
even more We are grateful for any
payment on an account
I'lease reciprocate the courtesy of
the merchant and rxtend to all the
merchants the courtesy of prompt
payment
The alternative may
someday tie losing the privilege of a
credit" community
If that hap
pens every thing you buy would have
to tie paid for at the time of
purchase
