Fortunately for all Oregon ians and especially we in East ern Oregon, this very impor tant election does give us a clear choice, and a qualified candidate. Gordon Smith has clearly demonstrated his capa bilities and it is appropnate that Gordon now have the oppor tunity to represent us in the U.S. Senate. We need people in Congress that understand business, the difference bet ween profit and loss, and how profitability affects jobs. Gor don Smith's success in busi ness as a food processor mar keting products world-wide has been due to his outstanding leadership, fairness, and overall business acumen. As a U.S. Senator we can be assured that Gordon Smith will vote with his intellect, strong personal convictions and sincere commitment to serving the people of the state of Ore gon. Be sure to vote. (s) Bill Albee Milton-Freewater Mining Assoc, endorses Smith To the Editor: This letter is being sent to demonstrate the strongest sup port and endorsement of the Eastern Oregon Mining Asso ciation for Gordon Smith's can didacy for the United States Senate. Gordon's unequivocal support for the resource-based industries, for higher education and for the downsizing of government mandate that sup port, and it is with considerable pleasure that we provide it. We applaud his views on a balanc ed budget and on reduction of the tax burden, and we find his approach to making those needed changes refreshing. Gordon is a thinker and doer, not simply a talker. The extre mely generous amount of trust he has been given both by his constituents in northeast Ore gon and by his peers in the Oregon State Senate amply demonstrate the high degree of confidence he has gained in his short political career. His exu berance, dedication and loyal ty are all pluses, and his impec cable integrity is precisely what is needed to regain Oregon's prominence on a national scale. An astute businessman, Gor don took a company out of the doldrums to prominence in his Christmas trees and wreaths subject of Heppner Garden Club Obituaries The Official Newspaper of the City of Heppner and the County of Morrow field.In doing so, he has pro vided more than 800 jobs at family-level wages in a region known for under-employment and low wage scales. His con cern for the well-being of his employees is legendary in this area as is the loyalty he has been shown by those employ ees. Loyalty both up and down is, indeed, a trademark of Gor don's. Gordoii believes strongly in what he does. He believes in the people's ability to solve their problems and in the government's requirement to stay out of the way so that they can. More importantly, he is willing to stand up and be counted in defense of his prin ciples and he has demonstrated that throughout his business and political life. In summary, Gordon Smith, and only Gordon Smith, fits precisely our definition of what we want our next U.S. Senator to be. We reaffirm our suport and endorsement of Senator Smith and we welcome your active participation in his elec tion to this most important position. (s) Robert H.

Suggestions include trimm ing an outside tree for the birds, using wheat, orange halves filled with suet and seeds, and garlands of strung cranberries. For a tree in the manner of pioneer America, use the top ornament made from corn husks surrounded with a spray of oats tied with bright ribbon. Ornaments may be made of cut corn husk flowers, husk dolls, wheat heads, ears of miniature corn, cinnamon cookies and tiny baskets of nuts, which could even be a Thanksgiving tree. In England, the day after Christmas is "Boxing" day for gift giving to those other than the family. Trees can be de corated with uniform little gift packages tied with yarn, little arbor vitae cones and greens, straw flowers and statice. To reflect the legendary thrif tiness of the Scottish people, a top ornament may be made from a bouquet of a money plant with plaid ribbons streaming down. Little red felt wreaths backed with cardboard can be glued to the money plant, arbor vitae cones and greens, and tied with plaid rib bon, or bundles of baby's breath tied with red ribbon can You’ll be truly amazed by the versatility of our Interchange Powder Keg Parka."
