To the Editor: Presently we are arguing the "Right to Die" in Oregon. There is great intensity on both sides and I believe it is because this question is so basic to human morality that it begets emotions rather than logical discourse. I also believe the equation is simple. Is there a God who created mankind, and to whom they are ultimately responsible? Or are we simply accidents from a cosmic quagmire, fortunate (?) to be on top o f the evolutionary scale and without responsibility to anyone or anything but our personal gratification? Most who hold the first opinion do not wish to take their own or any other life, for to them this is evil and evil has a penalty. Those strongly possessed of the second opinion have only to gratify their own desires and consider that the end of one human life is equivalent to a deteriorating cell in the body of the cosmos. I am voting for Measure 51 for two reasons. First, I believe shortening (anyone's) life is wrong, period. Second, anytime society will rationalize away the rights o f any one group of the society, it is but a short step down a slippery slope to rationalize away the rights of any other group. As a student of history, I remember a man named Dietrich Bonhoffer. He did not survive the Third Reich, however his words did. He said in essence, "When they came for the Jews I didn't protest because I wasn't Jewish. When they came for the Catholics I didn't protest because 1 wasn't Catholic. When they came for the Judge Charlotte Gray at the Heppner Justice Court reports handling the following cases during the past week: Ronald Ted Palmateer, 46, lone, violation of the basic rule, 75/55, $72 fine; Steve Ephrem, 33, Portland, no valid deer tag, $57 fine; Sam Ephrem, 23, Portland, illegal possession of a deer, $172 fine; Kenneth L. Hogeland, 38, Ukiah, illegal possession of game fish: underweight trout, $92 fine; Michael Shawn VanDewege, 33, Portland, illegal motorized travel, $57 fine; Marc A. VanDewege, 27, Portland, illegal motorized travel, $57 fine; Tyron Richard Zeller, 26, Hermiston, violation of the basic rule, 81/55, $137 fine; Terry Lee Snider, 38, ione, failure to dim headlights, $49 fine; Aaron Heath Gurney, 25, Gresham, failure to obey traffic control device: street closure, By Kimberly Morris David Sykes, Publisher The 1997 Oregon Make It Yourself With Wool contest will be h d d on Saturday, December 6, 1997 at the Inn at Eagle Crest in Redmond.

When they came for me, there was no one left to protest." I also remember that during the Third Reich the elderly, the infirm, the demented, and others who were a "burden to the Reich" were simply euthanized. I believe "Death with Dignity" is simply another short step down that slippery slope. (s) Ray Grace Heppner The first meeting of the Dog 4- H Club was held on Saturday, October 18.
