PUBLIC NOTICE Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager Do the 18 ballot measures tend to overwhelm you as well as all of the mixed messages that go along with them? Heppner Chamber is here to help. The next two consecutive chamber meetings have been set aside to review and discuss the measures. Each measure will be presented followed by pros, cons, and discussion from the floor. It is imperative that we be aware of the conse quences of a number of these measures and be knowledge able before we cast our ballots. The November 1994 ballot measures include two legislative referrals and 16 in itiatives. Interested persons are invited to join us at noon at the Elks on Tuesday, Oct. 11 and Tuesday, Oct. 18. Morrow County's Heritage Celebration this past weekend gave us a glimpse of some of the many offerings we have in this area for visitors. The native Americans from the Columbia River area had much to share and gave those present great insight into what is most valuable in life. They gave us a glimpse into the past as an elder spoke in the native tongue while an interpreter shared her knowledge. Mary Keith of the Forest Service and the Morrow County Museum are to be commended for an in teresting event. Joe Yocom, Cork Norene and Mary did an excellent job conducting the historic tour in the Schooner Wagon. Maybe this can become an annual event. John Edmundson and Jim Wishart gave the annual coat of varathane to the Heppner welcome signs before the en tourage of hunters arrived. Thought for the week: "But if a man happens to find himself...he has a mansion which he can inhabit with dignity all the days of.Jvs life'', James Michener.
