Letters to the Editor
Smith for U.S. Senator
To the Editor:
Too often we hear the rhe
toric: how disappointing there
aren't more qualified candi
dates in the race.
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.

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.

Market Report
The program of the Heppner
Garden Club meeting on Nov.
7 at the senior center explored
some of the possibilities for use
of natural materials in decorat
ing trees and wreaths for
Christmas.
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
