"Protect Your Investm ent”
(November 30
.
K
Some folks don't play cards Most
do. though, and some of them play
Loo. I don't but I should learn
Loo's a «ambling game, like
Poker or Black Jack . You can play
Pinochle without gambling, but not
Loo. Loo's different than Poker
You can play Poker with pennies if
you want, but you have to play Loo
with big money and you can't ever
tell just how much it will take Lots is all I know
Like I say. I don’t know how to play Loo But I do watch sometimes,
on Friday afternoons, at an otherwise quiet little watering hole between
Boardman and Heppner That weekly game has been going on for yean,
generations maybe, and has seen all manner of players, from the com
mon laborer to judge Mostly it's ranchers and farmers, but then (hat
part of the county is mostly ranchers and farmers, isn't it?
Loo seems to be a social game too. I heat a lot of gossip while the
cards arc being shuffled There's some talk about farming and ranching
of course, but the talk is mostly gossip Who’s doing what to whom,
things like that.
And politics, I hear a lot of talk about political things You know who
the next president should he, what the present one is doing wrong, who
we ought to get in a war with and such.
It was at a Friday afterrxxm Loo game that I learned (hat the Port of
Morrow was Boardman's Port and that little of what the Port was about
bene fitted the south end of the county I was surprised to learn that this
belief is widely held That surprise was softened when I remembered
that it is widely believed that Morrow County government is really Hepp
net's government and that little of what Morrow County is about benefits
the north end.
As I sec it. geography and population will always combine to favor
one area more or less than another in whatever endeavor we pursue
Progress will require that we overcnftic the prtTy7t»lo6syVe if*y%avc'
for our neighbors If we fail to overcome that jealousy, stagnation and
decline will be our kit.
It's like crediting our skill when winning at Loo, and blaming our losses
on the "unlucky chair.”
