ROUND BONE ROAST FRESH, CRISP HEADS STEAK SLICED BACON GROUND CHUCK PEACHES^ BEAUTIFUL, PERLETTE, SEEDLESS Open Letter to Malheur Citizens From your present County Treasurer 1 2 ; • • • • - • I This was a quiet primary election for me and I wish to thank each and every voter for coming to the polls to cast his vote...........to keep our "GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE” alive. I would like to encourage the young people of our area to become interested and involved in com munity and government affairs. We need to regain our patriotism and pride for our county, which must start at home and ripple on out through our cities, counties, and states. If we keep “leaving everything up to George”, it will get away from us . . .if it hasn’t already. I think our way of life is still worth puttingour shoulders to the wheel and pulling together. Sure, it takes time and courage and sa- crifices. But it’s worth it if we can get a lot of good qualified citizens to participate on cvmmittees and seek elective offices. Competition is good for everyone. This would give us the best kind of government . . .keep us on our toes . . . and may the most dedicated, qualified person win. Since some of you are new to the area, I would like to get acquainted with you. August 1st of this year will be my 20th anniversary with OUR COUNTY . . .(yours and mine), starting as the Sheriffs secretary. Eight months later, I became his Deputy Tax Collector . . .“ready or not”. The sudden vacancy needed filling. Whew!! What a job!! In December 1963, almost 10 years later, another sudden vacancy occurred . . . our County Trea surer passed away. You guessed it . . . I got the appointment. The primary election in 1964 was a tough one for me ... 1 had to beat the brush for votes and won by a slim margin. By election time in 1968 I had the office under control with a good invest ment program started. Since no one filed against me, I used the opportunity to “Report to the People” all of the varied duties of the office, as well as the growth of income for the county and dis tricts, together with increased work, which the new investment program created. The office needed a part-time deputy in case of another ‘sudden vac ancy” and I needed public support to attain one. I really enjoyed reporting to you, the people, because you all could see and appreciate the “harvest" as well as I . . . like, for instance: $45,621.93 interest earned in 1966-67 compared to $12,227.16 earned in 1964-65. I was wondering what I could do this election year. When I took a look at my old graphs and charts, I was astonished and became quite excited again. I would like to show you why. I’d appreciate an invi tation to speak to your group . . . large or small . . . and become acquainted with all newcomers as well as visit with my old friends. Suggestions, opinions, and comments are always welcome at YOUR County Treasurer’s Office. Please call or write. The phone number is 473-3948. Mail to P.O. Box 149, Vale, Oregon 97918.
