Jfrom tlje 1957 artljibes of tl)e Reppner Gaiette-Eimes Local Elks Get Over 1100 Hides The final truck load o f 663 deer, elk and cow hides left Heppner, Monday for tanners in California in the Heppner Elks Club sponsored drive for hides to be used for veteran’s rehabilitation in Oregon hospitals. In all, 1102 hides were gathered up by lodge committee members, and though a final tally isn’t yet available, it is known that the local lodge is among the top few lodges in Oregon in the number collected, and there is a good chance that they may hold the state record. The Heppner and Condon Lodges have had a contest to see which could collect the most hides for the program and Heppner took the honors in this by beating its neighbor organization by over 200 hides, committee chairman said this week. After the hides are tanned they will be distributed to veteran’s hospitals in the state by Oregon State Elks Association for their physical therapy program. Truckload o f Leather - This final load o f 663 deer, elk, cow and even one bear hide, left Heppner Monday on its way to the tanners. They were collected by local elks committee for veterans use.

Stop the insanity We are in the biggest recession in decades, joblessness is at 10%, the federal deficit increased $1.4 trillion this last year and will be at least that much this year, the baby boomers are just starting to retire which is going to place a stress on social security and Medicare like never before, both programs are already in the red, most states are running in the red as a w hole, we have two unfunded w ars going on, our balance o f trade continues to be awash in the red, and we are being warned that we will lose our AAA credit rating as a country if we don’t do something about the deficit. In their infinite wisdom, the president and con gressional leaders think this is “perfect timing” to spend $1 trillion on a new entitlement program called “health reform.” The current estimate is $1 trillion, but anyone with any historical perspective knows the true financial commitment w ill be about $10 trillion. This will do more than just add a few billion to our deficit, it will be the final straw that will bankrupt us as a country. Stop the insanity!
