My issue to make is, there is no place on earth like Morrow County where people would take the time or think to be so giving. We have our suspicions but since I still believe in Santa Claus and what he stands for 1 want to per sonally thank him for his benevolence and wish him and his family a very happy 1991. (s) Charlene Jones Whitney Portland To the Editor: Thanks Santa. You get lots of let ters about issues in Morrow Coun ty. Here is a good one. I was raised here and still consider it home, especially at Christmas time. At the farm house where my family was gathered on Christmas Eve we had a delightful surprise. At zero degrees outside a modem sleigh (pick up) ar rived in our drive way carrying no other than Santa Claus. He came in giving each a candy cane and leav A beautiful ego trip To the Editor: This week my household receiv ed two big brown envelopes, one ad dressed to me and the other to my wife. It was from the Governor’s Com munications Office, State Capitol. Salem Oregon. Inside I found the "State of Oregon Report to the Shareholders 1987-1991.” It contained 48 pages of the big gest ego trip I have ever seen anyone take at the expense of shareholders of the state of Oregon-the tax payers. The ego trip was produced by the governor’s office and the Oregon Economic Development Deaprtment The table of contents lists the governor's letter plus eight other items that are listed as achievements and accountability. This brochure was beautifully done on heavy paper with attractive pictures, diagrams and graphs all in many colors. Everything connected with the brochure was professional ly done and expensively finished. Producing it. printing it and finally mailing it out cost the Oregon shareholders a bundle of money that could have been spent on our educa tion system or economic develop ment in Wheeler County where we need it. Based on the many I know were received here in Fossil, I am sure there were many many thousands m ailed out to the Oregon shareholders. What a beautiful ego trip for Governor Neil Goldschmidt. One of Oregon’s Shareholders, (s) Herb Wright Box 466 Fossil Time for action on dog problem To the Editor: Several large dogs, coming from all areas of Heppner are forming packs. One. a Rotweiller, has been seen taking children down. Once a child is down and screams or fights back, a pack can become vicious. The city can't or won’t do anything about the dog problem in Heppner and the city council has told Police Chief Doug Rathbun not to do anything either. Maybe it’s time for the city council to review their posi tion on a leash law before a child gets hurt or killed. I have a nine-year old kid. Dog owners who let their dogs run should be warned that I’ll do whatever is necessary to protect my kids. (s) Lyle R.

(509) 922-1439 A Great Year Has it been a great year or what? It was the year in which the Oregon voters stepped up and said "N o more taxes.” What a great year And how about 1991? What a great year. 1991 will be the year we learn to live with “ No more taxes.” Or will it? Those of you who read this column often know that I am not a great fan of government. 1 take a great interest in government and write about it often. I just hate what government does to us. You see. I’m a great believer in freedom. I won’t keep a dog in the house. Dogs belong outdoors. And 1 won’t keep a dog on a chain nor in a tiny kennel. Dogs ought to run free. Trained to stay as near to home as possible, but free to run as nature intended. And I feel the same way about man. (Oh.please, read that as a member of the human race, no matter what sex. I also abhor that he/she word that s crept into our language. I’m not sexist, nor racist, but I am sensible about if.) . Man should be able to run free. To write what's on his mind, to read what pleases him, to think all the thoughts that his mind will permit. Man should be able to work and play as it suits him. He should be able to roam the world of places as freely as he roams the world of ideas. Man should be free to succeed as he defines it. and be as accepted as if we defined it. Man deserves to be satisfied, to be happy, to be content. He must be free to mate, to procreate, to perpetuate the species and his life should be a hallmark, no matter how he spends it. But you see, all that implies choices. To run free, man must be able to choose the direction, the speed and the timing. To succeed, he must be able to chose the endeavor. Freedom means unencumbered choices. If there are no choices, there is no freedom. And that’s where government comes in. The very purpose and function of government is to take away some choices. Many choices are prohibited by the law. Law created by government. Even I would agree that some choices must be denied, for the mere preservation of the species. Murder, robbery, theft. And there must be some rudiments of government just to keep the peace. But can we say the same, with the same conviction, about the amount of insulation I put in my home? Or the size of the sign I put on my business? And is it a matter of murder, the amount of money I pay to insure the repair of a road I never travel? Or the frequency that 1 file a report that contains no information? Or that I’m told every time I pick up a package of cigarettes that they are not very healthful? In each instance, the choices I am able to make about how to spend my money, spend my time and live my life are severely limited by government. It feels a little bit like a leash law. So in 1991, the great challenge will be for government to figure out how to take away the money we said they should not take away. Because, if the purpose of government is to govern, there is little hope that the peo ple who have assumed the task will seriously consider their own failure. Part of the American tradition is more and bigger and better’ of whatever we do. A home builder wants to make the next one more and bigger and better. A fisherman wants the next fish to be more and bigger and better. Government folks have the same attitude. It just is not in the cards to expect less, smaller and worse from an American, even one who’s job is to govern. I’m looking forward to 1991 as a great year, not in terms of seeing government learn to live within its means, but rather a great year in wat ching the folks who succeed in government figuring out a way to avoid the “ no new taxes” message. They will succeed. I’m sure. The sport will be in watching the ingenious ways they do._________________ 1 _______________ _____________ KofTee Kup Keglers December 20, 1990 W L 39 Gutter Dusters 25 36 28 The Pytts 28 No Pin Hitters 36 29 35 MCGG 34 30 Hi Ho’s 27 37 Alley Cats 39 The Dregs 25 24 40 Hopeful Has Beens High game: Billie Van Arsdale 223.
