Hook Two recent events have relieved me of a worry I've been carrying around for a long tune Now I'm off the hook. First. I just read that some jury awarded damages to a fellow because his wife died from smoking cigarettes for forty years Seems they agreed that the tobacco companies were at fault for her untimely death And then I heard a nco-prohibitionist blame the makers of alcoholic beverages for the inclination of some folks to over indulge This kind of thinking is consistent w.th our attack on drugs we call the Columbian dealer a criminal but the poor little doper just has disease Well, you se I smoke a few cigarettes and have a little glass of wine now and again My drug of choice is a cup or two of caffenated coffee But my doctordoesn’t worry much about those things He’s worried that Tm a little over weight and that I don't get much exercise He's been tell ing me if I don't get my weight down and start getting some physical ac tivity. I’m at high risk to die young from a heart attack I've been feeling guilty that I haven't been doing that Now you see I’m off the hook My fat belly and flabby body are not really my fault When I keel over before my time, my widow will have a whale of a law-suit against all the wheat farmers, cattle and sheep ranchers, potato farmers (especially potato farmers), food processors and even the comer grocery store Without all those folks unfairly tempting me with all that food. I could have lived to be a hundred The least they could have done was warn me Have you ever seen a big red panel on a bag of munchics "Warning Consumption of this foodstuff could lead to an untimely death My widow would also sue the folks that make the rototiller I use in the garden, the automatic dishwasher she makes me load once in a while, and will even go international and get the Honda pesiplc for making the car I drive You see. they are responsible for me not getting the exercise I require to live to be old All these years that I believed that I was responsible for my own acts were for naught I'm off the hook Women’s purse returned to her To the Editor: I have added another reason to my list for loving the state of Oregon. A couple of weeks ago. as I was travlcing through Heppner, I mistakenly laid my black purse on lop of my car (instead of in it.) and drove onto an exit to Heppner A loving person picked it up and turn ed it into the sheriff s office Subse quently. they mailed it back to me with all my cash, credit cards, and even my rosary intact I wish I knew whom I could thank 1 will thank the Heppner police force especially Deputy Parklyn Maine, Deputy Glen Diehl, and everyone in the Morrow County Sheriff's office As I was grieving over the loss of my purse, my daughter reminded me that most people in the world are honest, kind and good I want to reiterate that and put a “ special" in front of you people Sincerely, (s) Catherine M Feldman \,S Spectator enjoys Little League To the Editor 1 enjoyed watching several of the games played by the Little League All the coaches and referees should have a lot of credit for the time and work they pul in making it possible It is the nature of the game (hat some times sharp differences of opi nion on calls come up I'd like to see the dispute at one game settled so that all coaches and referees can go back next year The games I watch ed were for the Braves because my son-in-law was their munager and my grandson played on that team. Charlie Sumner and Tom Wickland had a very successful year and won every game they played I think they deserve credit for doing well The boys on that team deserve credit for doing well.
