Printer David and April Sykes, Publishers Letters to the Editor Thanks for participation To the editor: I want to thank everybody who took time to fill out and return the questionnaire I sent out with my newsletter, over 600 people and counting. Also, more than 200 people have taken time from their busy schedules to attend the series of i 1 Town Hall meetings held in each county of Senate District 28. There is no better way for us to work together than meeting face to face and discussing our concerns. We face a num ber of challenges in Oregon. Perhaps above all stand a number of critical resource issues which we talked about: timber supply, the Salmon crisis, and adequate water supplies for future use. In addi- tion. there are challenges to meet in the fields of health care, educa tion, and financing our schools and local governments in the aftermath of Ballot Measure 5. People have shared some ex cellent ideas on how to move ahead with solutions for over coming these challenges. Hearing from so many folks makes my job of representing your interests much easier. If anyone did not receive a newsletter or has a comment or question, please contact me at 5000 O’Leary Rd., Hood River, 97031; or call 386-3411.

ACDC And the DDT Francie and I attended a formal din ner the other night. Well, it was as for mal as dinner ever gets in Eastern Oregon. For the first time I can remember, I really noticed the clothes folks wear. One fella, who certainly should have known better, showed up without a necktie. What a rube. But I’m not sure that was any worse than some o f the neckties the other fellas did show up wearing. There were wide ones and narrow ones and some with such an awful pattern of clashing colors. Visual I By F.d Glenn pollution is what it was. My golly, there outta be a law. And the hardware those guys hang on their neck ties. Big gaudy pins and bright flashy clasps. More than one glittered loud enough to hurt your eyes. Some guys were so gauche as to not wear a tie clasp at all so their neck ties dangled over their shoulders or swished through their soup. It s plain to me that few, if any o f these adults are capable o f selecting their own clothes with any taste at all. Certainly they had no concern for others around them and posed a real danger o f inflicting serious and permanent injury to our whole society. But the guys couldn’t hold a candle to the offense given by the ladies. Good golly, Molly, was that something to see. One young woman had a skirt so short it was embarrassing to look anywhere in her direction. As near as I could tell, it was between 12 and 13 inches above the very point of her knee. It looked like it had been hemm ed up by hand as there was a good two inches o f material turned under. And the hem was not very skillfully done. I could hardly look. There sure wasn’t much covering her you-know-what. She was dangerous to civiliz ed society, that was plain to see. Her high hemline and another lady’s low neckline were in the same class as the plastic and feather and phony looking pins, corsages and handbag decorations. That neckline was so low, everyone was on the very edge o f their chairs just waiting for its function to fail. But it didn’t, at least that I could see. And the wild colors and patterns these ladies are wearing in their clothes these days. It was a veritable zoo. You and I really don’t have to put up with this visual pollution and dangerous condition. We should ask the legislature to enact Senate bill 200 create the Apparel Code Dress Commission (ACDC) and have the Department o f Dress Technology (DDT) enforce the rules of acceptable use. It is apparent that the people who pay their own money for clothes are not to be trusted with their proper use. This is truly a matter o f public concern and the public, you and me, must get the law into the matter and correct these abuses before the whole world caves in upon us. Just the slightest bit of improper wearing of clothes can cause the immediate destruc tion o f the entire world. We must remember that. We need rules not only governing what these clods wear to what func tion, but we also need to keep them from wearing their clothes out. Just because someone buys a piece o f clothing, they should not think that they will own it forever. They are just part-time custodians and must be re quired to take care o f the public interest, especially take care not to wear it out. Those are the inconsiderate folks who fail to donate nearly new clothes to the needy. And we need rules prohibiting those costume places from renting out outrageous tuxedos to young boys to wear to the prom. Our young men who rent clothes are not to be trusted in the selection o f proper clothes for the occasion. Nor can they judge whether the costume is complete and has all the essential parts in good working order. Since a lot o f people wear clothes the DDT will need a lot o f enforce ment people and that’s a really important form o f economic development. There should be a DDT office in every community, designed by a renowned architect, built out o f the finest materials and appointed in the most discriminating taste. Employees o f DDT will, o f course, be exempt from its rules. By now I suspect you think I’m crazy. But had I been writing about land instead o f clothes, you’d only call me a politically correct Democrat. SEE IT Happy Holiday c o u C Regular Burger only$1.5 0 p o u p Reg.
