Letter to the Editor
Elk hunters help seniors
To the Editor:
“ Great people” .
On Saturday Nov. 13, 1993,

home from Pendleton when the
storm and bad roads caused us to
stall out; between Dale and
Meadowbrook, southbound on
Hwy. 395. We had started to
straighten out our tire chains.
w hen a couple of wonderful men
stopped and put the chains on for
us. They were elk hunters from
Heppner-1 didn’t get any names.
Heartfelt thanks from a couple
of senior citizens from Canyon
City.

Chamber Chatter

the big city. Oregon metropolitan
areas are trying to incorporate the
many features found in older
small towns in the middle of large
cities. The “ neo-traditional’’
neighborhood, as it is called, will
be a combination of apartments,
townhouses, and small single
family dwellings surrounding a
core of retail and public services
and a transit stop. A main street,
village green and parks will be in
cluded with undeveloped open
space and hiking trails. (They
may have a bit of trouble making
open space as we know it.) It

all the real communities in
Oregon that people have to resort
to creating a make-believe one in
a city. They have our sympathy
and we can be grateful that we
have the quality of life they’re
trying to create right under our
nose and often don’t recognize it.
Examples such as this serve to re
mind us how important it is that
we support, maintain and en
courage our real towns in Mor
row County where people still
realize that food comes from hard
work, long hours of labor, and
the land; and where families con
tinue to work hard in ongoing
family businesses on Main street
as well as in agriculture. Progress
and positive change is occurring
as we all work together to main-
