Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, elections are over; for some it
was a bust. But amen to politician bashing with opponents try
ing to slash each others throats. Likewise it's demeaning to have
the media explaining w hat's been said as though people didn't
have enough intelligence to understand some the first time
around. Or perhaps that understanding isn't in line with a par
ticular commentator's viewpoint.
Enough was spent on campaigning to put a large dent in the
national debt. Now our legislators can re-group and get on with
re-inventing government while keeping in mind that their stand
in the decision process could influence voters at the next election.
But it's no wonder that career politicians hang on to congres
sional seats long after the average worker has retired. Plus perks,
'cushy' salaries often double in the form of retirement benefits.
Perhaps the sweetest way of limiting political terms is voting peo
ple out of office, as demonstrated at this election.
On the local level, an up-to-date tax base would probably be
approved if it w asn't so easy to calculate the annual six percent
increase without voter approval, which would amount to a hef
ty increase.
Oregon, along with other states, is faced with providing more
money for schools. Like government entities, it's the ad
ministrative costs including employees' cost-of-living increases
and benefits that are a large portion of those budgets.
Oregon voters made it clear that criminals must spend more
time behind bars and that they should be put to work. These
amendments to the constitution require more prison space and
more tax dollars for prisoners.
Where these dollars are to be found isn't clear. But I have to
agree with Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes, that the increased wave
of gambling casinos and lotteries seems like a dubious way to
fund government and stimulate the economy. Promoting a bad
habit is as questionable as turning a blind side to morality issues.
It's often the people who can least afford to gamble that become
loyal patrons.
Having worked on the county's counting boards, it's interesting
to note the many different ways to mark a ballot. There seemed
to be fewer write-ins of candidates this time. Perhaps because
the ballot was so lengthy there w asn't time to be frivolous.
However I do want to congratulate “ Nobody Filed” and I wish
I knew if this was a man or woman. That square was frequently
marked although that mysterious candidate was not named.
Perhaps there should have also been a square marked 'maybe'
before measures. Voters, failing to take a ballot road map,
sometimes changed their minds after marking the yes or no boxes.
On the positive side, the voting system remains fool proof in
protecting an individual's voting record. Only you and your con
science knows if you aided in getting an official elected or
defeated. I'll admit I'm among those who must grin and bear
it when not always agreeing with the outcome, but that's the
democratic process.
Since there seems to be people already thinking of throwing
their hats into the next major election, I'm proposing a congres
sional amendment. Only future intentions of a candidate should
be allowed. We then can leave the mud slinging to the media
as their form of freedom of speech.
Undoubtedly, that's why some qualified people stay out of the
political arena. They either don't have Ross Perot's wealth or
they don't want family skeletons dancing on the wires.

Rebound Headaches
from Pain Medicines
There are several causes and
types of headaches, one of the
most common sources of pain
resulting in one or more visits to
a physician’s office. A chronic
headache or one that recurs fre
quently is a diagnostic and thera
peutic challenge. In some com
munities persons with chronic
headaches are referred to special
headache clinics.

A turkey dinner and bazaar
will be held at Willows Grange
on Sunday, Nov. 20 from 12:30
to 2 p.m.
Cost of the dinner is $5 for
adults and $2.50 for children six
to 12 years. Preschool children
will be admitted free.
At their November meeting,
Willows Grange elected the
following officers: master,
W illard French; overseer,
Wilma Martin; lecturer, Helen
Crawford; steward, Lauretta
Lantis; assistant steward, Lee
Palmer; L.A. steward, Mary
Ann Palmer; chaplain, Loree
Hubbard; treasurer, Jim Swan
son; secretary, Dot Halvorsen;
gatekeeper, Margaret Akers;
C eres,
G eneva
Palm er;
Pomona, Lucile Rietmann;
Flora, Nina Knighten; ex
ecutive committee, Berl Akers,
Anna Ball and Mary Wilkins.
The December, January and
March meetings will be on the
second Sunday of the month at
1 p.m. and will include a
potluck dinner.
According to a recent article
in Southern Medical Journal,
many patients referred to head
ache clinics complain of severe
headaches, are heavy users of
pain relief medicines, are de
pressed, and report sleep distur
bances. The article reports re
sults of an evaluation of 100 men
and women who had experienced
chronic headaches for an aver
age of 18 years.
Results of the evaluation in
dicated that migraine and ten
sion headaches occurred most
often in this group. The most
interesting finding was that over
half of the patients studied had a
condition referred to as “drug-
rebound headache.” Drugs were
taken for headache on at least 20
days of each month. Medicines
taken included bariturates, tran
quilizers, narcotics, and mild
analgesics such as acetam i
nophen. Researchers concluded
that drugs themselves often are
a major cause of severe and
chronic headaches. They indi
cated that withdrawal of patients
from many of these agents re
quires time.
