This league combines kids from Willow Creek Little League to take

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

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.
