Chamber Chatter
By Mertyn M m a tn
I.ifi hr -
It was in August, 75 years ago, that women attained the right
to vote as the result of the suffrage movement. Women have con
tinued to suffer over many decisions ever since. It's been said
that more than half of today's voters in this country are women;
it's called political clout, I guess. Yet if a wife decides to vote
differently than her spouse, it can raise a domestic cloud that
makes the eruption of Mount St. Helens look pale.
Equal rights for women, of course! Women can rear families,
hold down full-time jobs away from the home and manage a
household all at the same time. If they are super women they
can sometimes squeeze in a hobby or find time for special in
terests like the inspiring project of catching up on the mending.
Then there's the affirmative action debacle. Whether an in
dividual is a native or a cigar store mannequin, the most qualified
applicant should be the one that is hired. Continued employ
ment ought to be based on work performance and incentive.
The subject about my work ethic never rears its head; so it must
be the "work-for-grub" wage scale plus being the only qualified
toilet bowl cleaning expert that keeps me employed. For me, af
firmative action takes place under duress like when our well
pump motor slowly died during fair week and household water
was toted in a bucket. It was like running out of water during
a two week dry elk camp. After hoarding water by the eyedrop
perful, it's almost sinful to now let tapwater gush down the drain.
I'm perhaps over-qualified for some affirmative action tasks.
When it comes to equal rights in performing certain household
chores, husbands often have more important things to do like
watching a football game on t.v., planning a state-of-the-art deer
hunting trip or calculating ways for the wife to save money.
Meanwhile the so-called weaker sex spins her wheels mopping
up the spilled jam.
Or sometimes husbands insist that they can't effectively operate
appliances to measure up to the wife's standards. In fact, it's
often necessary for the wife to move the furniture so that the
vacuum cleaner will clean the rug in places besides the middle
of the floor. Yet these super-helpers have no qualms about hav
ing the "little woman” stand around handing him tools in an
attack on some inoperable or broken down item; even though
outside help is often necessary after said item has been completely
disassembled and looks like it had been in a tornado.
Too, it's unfortunate that after one's children become older,
they can not only out-talk a parent, but they can no longer be
browbeaten into performing slave labor (their interpretation) for
even simple tasks like taking out the garbage. When it comes
to unsanitary conditions in a teenager's room, it might be simpler
to close off that part of the house and call a fumigator.
The parents of-college-bound students can soon rejoice. But
the downside happens on those weekends when home is where
they bring a month of dirty laundry and in just two days they
can wipe out a well-stocked refrigerator. When they depart again,
you can be sure that more of your household items are missing.
But if these young adults complain about grueling college classes,
you can tactfully remind them that a little more effort in high
school could have prevented enrollment in bone-head English.
Viva for women who exercise their right to vote. May they also
teach their sons about fundamental household tasks in prepara
tion for husband roles. Perhaps some men will never excel as
gourmet cooks; more of the peanut butter survival experts. But
they do learn by experience that red clothing can dye white
underwear a brilliant pink in the washing machine. For the men
who have become "M r. Moms", a big hooray! It's a step in the
direction of affirmative equality for the sexes. Women have in
deed come a long ways, usually finding someone to baby!

Correction
M a n ta —
Have you been wondering
why there are two windows in
town with "Chamber of Com
merce" in large green and
white letters? Yes, I'm moving
again. Seems my average stay
in one spot is around three
years. This is normal for all
Chamber executive directors
across the state, except they
move to a different town and
I just move to a different loca
tion in one town. Guess you're
stuck with me!
For the last (could it really
be?) almost ten years, my of
fices have varied, beginning
with my car, my home, the Ex
tension Office, to Ray Boyce's
Insurance, to Bev's Bookkeep
ing (which burnt to the ground
right before Cycle Oregon),
then to Heppner T.V., GEODC
and now an office all by my
lonesome provided by First In
terstate Bank. The Chamber
has appreciated the space pro
vided by the various entities. It
keeps the Chamber from in
creasing dues!
Come visit about Chamber
and your community on Tues
days and Wednesdays (and
some Mondays, Thursdays and
Fridays). It will seem strange to
have an office all to myself. I'm
always open for ideas regar
ding St. Pat's celebration,
Town it Country, new projects
for Heppner, economic de
velopment, retail, downtown
renovation, fair and rodeo, etc.
The door is always open, but if
it isn't, leave me a message and
it will be soon!
Speaking of fair and
rodeo...one and all are to be
commended for the long hours
and hard work that went into
these community events. Those
heading west for a quick vaca
tion before school starts, be
sure to stop by the Oregon
State Fair and check out the
Morrow County booth. Greg
Smith and Dave Green have
spent long hours getting the
booth ready. We think you'll be
pleased. Greg has been amaz
ed at all the donations of time,
talent and money that have
been generously given to the
project. That's Morrow Coun
ty! When we all work together,
not only does "Your fun go fur
ther at the fair", it goes further
everywhere.
Next week: Chamber busi
ness meeting for all members at
the Elks at noon.
