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. Shown with
the load are committee members.

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!
