(s) Sally Cohn Portland To the editor: Voters in Heppner are being asked to approve a bond issue that is vital to continuance of city functions. It would be well to note that if we do not support our hard work ing volunteer fire department, we will pay for it anyway with in creased insurance costs. Twice in the past several years we have almost lost our business district to fire. Please make the volunteers aware, by a very positive vote, of how much we value their many efforts.

Maybe more of you now recognize the Baker City Approve city bond issue To the editor: RE: Bond Issue I want to express my personal support and urge the voters to support the public safety bond proposed by the City of Heppner. The bond issue will pay for fire and safety equipment. Our cur rent equipment is dangerously outmoded, and only operates at a fraction of its stated capacity. We have already had one major grass fire and with the dry heat we can anticipate more this summer. Please support your city and protect yourselves. Vote yes on the bond. Sincerely, (s) William J.

Pool is possible if all chip in To the Editor: This letter came to the chamber of commerce office. It ex emplifies the spirit that keeps Morrow County alive and well. (s) Claudia Hughes Chamber of Commerce In my opinion Heppner kids, all Morrow County kids, deserve a swimming pool. It isn’t im possible to get. It took a lot of dinners, pies and cake to get the pool in lone several years ago but we got it. Fundraisers have been going on to help people in time of problems especially health problems and in my opinion the kids are in danger of health problems too. What are kids expected to do when there isn’t a theatre, swimming pool or something for them to do? It hurts all of us when drugs, alcohol and cars take over.

We could do it. I didn’t get my letter mailed and this week’s Gazette named the third school class as sponsors. Great. I was thrilled and enclose a small donation. I had a thought and tried to find out through the chamber of com merce who sponsors the Morrow County picnic in Laurelhurst park in August but they didn’t know. Anyway my idea was to have a jar for donations at that picnic for the pool. If former Morrow County people would donate just a dollar or two it would help as a lot of us now live in Portland. Best of luck and I’m proud to be from Morrow County and willing to help if I can. Sincerely, (s) Pat Townsend Portland Donations may be sent to Pool fund, Bank of E.O. Box 39, Hepner 97836. If anyone knows who organizes the Laurelhurst picnic, please call the chamber 676-5536.
