Printer David and April Hilton-Sykes, Publishers Letters to the Editor Community spirit alive and well tacted to ask if they w ould per sonally encourage friends to donate to the auction are proof that community spirit is alive and well. Not one person said “ No" to my request for help. I remain truly impressed with the number and quality of items our donors were able to supply. I look forward to again work ing on the auction after the holidays and encourage all readers who want to be involv ed in a positive experience to get in touch with any of us. Great satisfaction can be gain ed from helping to perpetuate the St. Patrick's Weekend Celebration, helping to increase the Scholarship Fund and con tributing to community im provement projects (last year, the park playground equip ment). Last year's workers and donors can attest to that. (s) Doris Brosnan To the Editor: Just over a year ago, I first met with the individuals who were going to work on the St. Patrick's Day Auction with me: Delanne Ferguson, Ann Spicer, Cara Osmin, John and Ann Murray, Diana Ball, Pat Hent- ges. During the next few months and especially in Feb ruary and March, I learned what organized, knowledge able, enthusiastic people can accomplish. Not only were these commit tee members able to lead the committee to a satisfactory con clusion, but their faithful help ers of several years (Mike Mills, Bill Kuhn, Steve Rhea, Donna and A! Osmin, Rene Devin, Frank Osmin) and new work ers (Pam Wunderlich, Tony Doherty) made certain that the auction came together and ran smoothly. The many people we con- Supports Gordon Smith To the Editor: I support Gordon Smith for the position of U.S. Senator. I've had personal experience in dealing with State Senator Smith and his very competent staff. This last legislative ses sion very clearly proved that Senator Smith is effective in the political environment and is able to accomplish positive results for Eastern Oregon as well as benefiting the state as a whole. I appreciate the fact that he is accessible, and he has staff that can assist him in responding to the issues that I have been concerned about. Please join me in supporting Gordon Smith in the primary and general election so that he can represent us at Washington D.C. as effectively as he has at the state capitol.

To the Editor: 1 am extremely disturbed by the situation in our schools. 1 am appalled that the Morrow County School board has al lowed the creation of a disrup tive environment in our first grade class. This is the same school district that told the parents of these same children last year that a two-day school week in kindergarten was an adequate preparation for first grade. Imagine the surprise when we all read in the East Oregonian that the new four day “ all day" kindergarten classes this year are far superior to the previous schedule. More time in class, it seems, is trans lating into better prepared children. While I have been upset about the four day school week, I, as people tend to do, have done nothing about it, hoping that the issue would be resolved before my four year old attended school. Unfor tunately, that issue has yet to be resolved. The issue of an overcrowded first grade has not been resolved either. It is now obvious to me that the problem is neither an overcrowded first grade nor a four day school week. The problem is that so meone has forgotten that the schools are for the children. We need to take control of this problem by attending school board meetings, writing the district and writing the state, if necessary. The people of Morrow Coun ty deserve top-notch schools. Nowhere do people care more for the youths in their com munities. The proof is in their voting records. The parents of this years' first grade class need our support. Let's join Drs. Berretta and the other first grade parents in their fight with the school. Please get involved. The problem is not going away. Remember, next year's school problem may directly impair the ability of your own child or grandchild to obtain a quality education. Sincerely, (s) A. Kim Cutsforth Voters to have third party To the Editor: Independent voters will have a third party. It took just 18 days for Ross Perot, with the help of California United We Stand America members, to collect more than enough voter re-registration cards. What a remarkable, hearten ing feat. When we put our mind to it, Americans can vir tually do the impossible. Such an accomplishment gives us hope that we can turn the rascals out in Washington D.C. and take back our purse. Keep our tax monies at home where we can see for ourselves just where it all goes. Now it is on to Ohio and Maine and the rest of the coun try. The job will get done. Sincerely (s) Helen Solem Vernonia, OR 97064 Don't judge hog by sign over pigpen To the Editor: It seems our next job here in Oregon is to pick a replacement for Packwood's senate seat. I think we all can agree our job w'ould be much easier if we had better material to work with. I don't know about you, but years ago I learned to never judge a hog by the sign so meone tacked up over the pigpen. It gets harder each year to tell the difference between Democrat and Republican. We have two women running, Norma Paulus and Elizabeth Furse, one republican, one democrat. In my opinion, both are playing so far over in left field they have lost all touch with reality. We also have a rich Repub lican by the name of Smith who has tossed his hat into the ring. It is reported that this fellow Smith has recently purchased an old golf club for a sum of $1.4 million. Congress, it ap pears to me, already has enough foolish ideas without this fellow. Of course there is Ron Wyden, a Democrat who seems to spend his time between snif fing the air for stale tobacco smoke and mounting his soap box in behalf of “ women's right to choose". But alas my friends, take cheer for I have saved the best for last. There is Representative DeFazio. He was the only representative in Oregon with the guts to stand like a man to uphold American labor and the sovereignty of our nation by voting against NAFTA and GATT. He stood alone against the leadership of both parties and against all bribes offered him by Bill Clinton. This man deserves the vote of every American patriot. Thank you, (s) Juneious F.
