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.
Sincerely,
(s) Wayne Fawbush

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.
