Bindery To the Editor: Mark O. Hatfield is a well respected senior senator in Washington, D.C. Oregon has a voice as long as Senator Hatfield re mains in the Senate. The upcoming election is an opportunity for those of us in Oregon to make sure we To the Editor: Just a reminder that Pat Wright is a serious candidate for county com missioner. Please write her in. I remember Curly and Don and the Elk Horn Restaurant was the hang out for lots of the town people. Elsie Cowins and her husband had the ice plant. We lived by them and their two girls, Ruth and Rae. There was a CCC kid they called Peppers. He married my sister’s girlfriend. I could write a book on my home town news and went to school with all the kids up Willow Creek. My dad worked for Bruce Kelly at one time. (s) Bonnie G Bookman Wesarg Onalaska, Wa. Vote no on Measure 5 To the Editor: On November 6 you will be fac ing a number of decisions that will decide the future of Oregon. One issue that will affect all of us is Measure 5. It sounds good to have property taxes reduced. However, will the reduction in the taxes make up for the loss of services all of us will have? Will the reduction in taxes make up for the loss of control at the local level? Any decrease in one tax will most assuredly create an in crease in another tax. Measure 5 does not provide a solid alternative. I urge each one of you to look very closely at Measure 5 and ask yourself if you are willing to suffer the consequences if is should pass. Please, for your sake and for the sake of fellow Oregonians, vote no on 5. (s) Nancy Brownsfield Heppner Mobley a spoiler To the Editor: I am writing in support of Dave Frohnm ayer’s bid to become Oregon’s next governor. Dave Frohnmayer is a dedicated family man who espouses those family values which the Republican party has long stood for. He has done positive things to translate his beliefs into action through legisla tion. He has put himself on the line for his principles and beliefs. A1 Mobley’s candidacy is a threat to the two-party system. A vote for A1 Mobley, who has no chance of winning, is really a vote for Barbara Roberts. Please don’t waste your vote needlessly when the Republican Party has already nominated an continue to be heard. We can’t af ford to lose what has taken several years of experience to gain. Please vote for Oregon by voting for Mark O. Hatfield on November 6. (s) Nancy Brownsfield Heppner Pat Wright’s a serious candidate Letters to the Editor To the Editor: Memories. It sure doesn’t seem like it was 50 years ago the CCC Boys landed and the town came alive. We had one bunch from New York. They didn’t last long as they were awful. They ended up in jail and they were shipped out fast. Alvis McMahon was one of the good CCC boys. He married my sister, Norma. He came home from the war with cancer and passed away five years ago. Oregon Legislature. He can help Morrow County voice our Eastern Oregon viewpoints on water policy, spotted owls, and state park issues. We need him as county commissioner. (s) Margaret G. Murray lone Vote for Hatfield David and April Sykes, Publishers Happy Memories Vote for Ray French outstanding candidate. I know A1 Mobley, and know that he is not temperamentally suited to be the next governor of Oregon. He does not have the ability to work with people, or the experience in government to be anything other than a negative force in Oregon politics. Although Mobley may sound like a good candidate on which to make a statement to “ those politicians,” he is really nothing more than a spoiler who will throw the election to Barbara Roberts, a dyed in the wool liberal. Please elect Dave Frohnmayer as Oregon’s next governor. (s) Suzanne Jepsen Heppner Thanks she’ll do a good job for us all. (s) Charlene and Earl Papineau Lexington to any one part. That’s why I think Ray French will represent all of Morrow County fairly and without favor. I urge all of you to vote Ray French for M orrow County commissioner.

YD.* Vote for Rauch To the Editor: As a resident of Morrow County who has known Irvin Rauch over the years, I want to give my wholehearted support to Irvin in his bid for re-election to the county board of commissioners. Irvin has served this county for as many years both as a member of the county school board and as a coun ty commissioner. Very few people could bring a broader range of ex perience in public service to the posi tion of county commissioner than Mr. Rauch. I have personally worked with Ir vin for several years as a fellow school board member. I know first hand that he is extremely honest and dedicated. He is a willing listener who believes in hearing all sides of To the Editor: I know Ray French to be a man of integrity. You can count on what he tells you. That’s a rare quality in a politician but a very important one Ray, as our state representative, represented a district far larger than Morrow County. He treated the en tire district fairly and without favor s 14.49 SQ. YD.* was $16.99 $1 5 . 9 9 sq . yd . w as $19.99 wa* $9.99 FOREVER ELEGANT every issue. He is also a person who is not afraid to take a stand on any issue which he feels is important to the welfare of our county. Irvin has a great interest in the counties’ road system and in the im provement of the counties’ economic base. He has devoted many hours to the improvement o f these important areas. Those who know Irvin, know him as a person with a great sense of humor, but one who also knows when the time comes to buckle down. I urge you to vote to retain Irvin Rauch for county commissioner.

Morrow County voters have seen Pioneer Memorial Hospital bounced around like a tennis ball by the county court. The court promised to get out of the hospital business but again we are faced with St. Anthony pulling out before the year ends. One member of the present court is running for re-election. Another county resident, running for the commissioner job formally one of your representatives in Salem, as I recollect tried to get legislature to improve hunting rights for a select few and his own ranch. We have another choice, although a write-in vote, Pat Wright. She has served us in Morrow County as a member of the school boards,hospi tal boards and city council of Lex ington. Not counting the 16 years as a nurse for Morrow County. The above alone tells me she had and has an interest in the people of Morrow County. It’s time to take a hard look at voting party lines. One no longer follows any set rules and if the other candidate you feel can do the job, go for it. I feel Pat Wright has these qualities. Join me in writing in Pat Wright for commissioner. Thank you (s) Merl Cantin Heppner Re-elect MIKE NELSON State Representative District 59 Frohnmayer for Governor To the Editor: At the last gubenatorial debate, A1 Mobley was asked if he knew the county seats of Malheur and Gilliam Counties. He did not know either one. I think that this points up the fact that he has only lived in Oregon a short time. Dave Frohnmayer, on the other hand, knows Eastern Oregon. He has traveled extensively throughout this part of the state. He has been to the larger towns and the smaller ones as well. A vote for A1 Mobley is really a vote for Barbara Roberts. A vote for A1 Mobley is a wasted vote, because he has no chance of winning. He can only be a spoiler. Dave Frohnmayer is an im pressive candidate who has the background and experience as a legislator and attorney general to be an outstanding governor. Dave will best represent the interests of this part of the state in Salem. Please join me in voting for Dave Frohnmayer for our next governor. (s) Pauline Winter Heppner For Ray French To the Editor: Some weeks ago a ‘warning’ that one of our county commissioners was running for re-election begn ap pearing in our newspapers. Sensing a crisis of credibility, I paid it little mind. Even so, the insistent tenor of the repeated message finally con vinced me-1 will heed the ‘warning.’ I read more recently that he is ‘wanted’. I have not verified this with the sheriff, but I guess I’m not surprised. Perhaps, we will next read that he is ‘retired’. During these same weeks, Ray French has been highly visible, has met with hundreds of people to discuss the issues and has explained to all his common sense approach to open government. Ray French spent four years in Salem representing all of us. In par ticular, Ray is inquisitive in city issues and their interrelationship with county issues. I hope you will join me in suppor ting Ray French for Morrow Coun ty Commissioner. He has earned our votes and will be a fine commissioner.
