Cliff Green brought a ropy into the Gazette Times office i It has come to our attention that some discussion has taken place recently concerning the dissolution of the Justice Court in Morrow County Supposedly this idea u proposed as a cost rutting matter Our under standing is that the County Court feels this system must pay its own way • Possibly the Counly may see a reduction in cost if the move is made in operating the court system but what would the costs then be to the County Sheriff. City Holier Depart ments. District Attorney's office, individuals «house this system, and other people outside the County' Actually, historical data indicates the actual cost to the County is minimal rv rn in the worst years What Counly function is self sup porting’’ Surely it would be difficult to show any that do. and this is the reason we support all County serv ices with taxes The lasting effects of such a move can tie detrimental to not only the residents of the County that use this system but absolutely devastating to law enforcement personnel in per formatter of their duties An obvious hinderance to efficient police work would be the difficulty in obtaining a search warrant Since such a war rant must be issued bv a judge and lune wtll hold a commumty meel since we would not have a judge ing on Wednesday March 19 at 7 30 available in this area, the Officer p m in thr high schooi cafétéria There a rr two pur poses for this would be required to drive to Hermi The firsl is to provide slon or even Pendleton to obtain a meeting warrant Add to that the problem of information about th r Morrow Coun finding a judge during off hours, the ty Schooi District Budget. the sec opportunity to make a timely and <»»f ptirpme n i lhe meeting is for efficient search might well be lost The business handled by this system al present would be diverted All Saints' Episcopal parish will to either the Circuit or District Court install and commission members of system t^engthly delays would be the Alter Guild Sunday.

Chairman Armor-piercing bullet ban is bad news To the editor S 104 is a bill in the U S Senate designed to ban so-called cop killer bullets, also known as armor pier ring bullets The irony is that the bill w ill neither eliminate armor piercing bullets nor w ill it save police lives The publicity surrounding the armor piercing bullet has been cost ly Since I9K4. there has been a 400 percent increase in head shots to police officers Criminals have lieen educated by the public debate about the existence of soft body armor worn by police Another irony, a sad one. is that virtually any rifle bullet w ill pene Irate the soft body armor worn by police Banning bronze bullets included in S 104 w ill offer no greater protection to our policemen than they already have I »-cause the rifle bullets available to millions ol hunters w ill still be on the market, and still lie able to penelrale soft body armor after the bill is passed Meanwhile, no policeman wearing a vest has t»-en killed by any of the so-called cop k ille r“ bullets S 104 is a bill that solves a non existing problem while produc ing publicity that has increased the danger to policemen not bet a use of bullets, but because of better infor med criminals And as a very unpleasant side effect. many crucial commercial uses of the projectiles w ill be put on the banned list They are at least three companies known to GOA that are currently producing hunting bullets that would lie banned by the bill Thr bill's ban reads as follows The term ar mor piercing ammunition' means solid projectiles or projectile cores constructed from tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium " The bill specifically exempts steel shotgun shot and provides for an exemption for "sporting purposes' if someone has the time and the money to pursue an application through ihe Treasury Department andor thr courts to obtain an exempt ion The small companies involved in making the solid core bronze or brass hunting rifle bullets that would be banned cannot afford the legal fees that would be required to get an exemption from the Secretary of the Treasury- Gun Owners of America has taken a one half inch thick piece of iron to the Hill to show the Senators and their staffs that standard rifle bul lets w ill pierce the iron while the solid brass or bronze bullets willnot pierce iron, let alone steel they melt before they go through, making a bronze coated crater and leaving about a quarter inch of thr heal of the bullet brazed into the crater In other words, thr socalled " a r mor piercing bullets w ill not pene Irate even a metal as soft as iron, while standard hunting rounds will Tungstrn alloy projectiles which are used in the petroleum industry, and which S 104 would ban. are used to fragment rock formations that lie between deposits of oil and oil well shafts GOA then found th r maker of a seismic gun that fires solid steel projectiles 'another item on the to lie banned list in S 1041 into the ground so that petroleum 'and oth er 1 geologists can hear what kind of strata lie below thr surface at that point GOA has also learned that solid steel projectiles are used by Ihe steel industry to knock the slag from off the backs of blast furnaces The construction industry uses solid steel projectiles in pneumatic guns, as well as an experimental depleted uranium bullet that is being develop ed by the New Mexico School of Mines to open holes in which dyna mile charges can be dropped to blow off the rock faring covering ore deposits Had there been hearings in this Congress on S 104 such information could have been brought to light If you think that they do not read the bills in Washington, you may be right (s' Lawrence D Fra It Executive Director (l-arry Pratt is Executive Direct or of Gun Owners of America, a national grassroots lobby organiza lion working to promote the fire arms freedoms of Americans guar anteed by the second amendment i To the Editor Saturday March 8 ended another of Colt Basketball for the fourth through the sixth graders in Hep pner This year there were over 70 boys and girls who had the oppor lunity to learn basketball skills, teamwork, and have a fun time Programs of this type are avail able in most areas in Morrow and Umatilla Counties We hope that all of the parents whose children are involved in these programs take a few munutes to tell the adult volun leers thank you The volunteer coaches give a lot of themselves to prov ide the kids this opportunity We want to especially thank the men who gave their lime and energy in Heppner Dave Gunderson Bob Adelman.
