In the winter, when work is hard
to find, and there is little money,
w e all feel we cannot spend much
money on food. Some of us are
eating only beans and rice. This
saves money, but it is bad for the
health. Meat, dairy products and
vegetables are necessary for a bal
anced diet.

supplement for your regular diet.

Mr. Tompkins and
Mr. Flanagan,
Thank You!
How can we ever catch up with
our thank-yous?
We, the staff members of the
Opportunity News, wish to thank
Joe Tompkins for taking pictures of
us, and putting us on television. It
was a swift operation. We were in
the midst of wrapping up an issue,
and Joe told us just to go right
ahead and be editors, not actors.
When the program came through
on Channel 8, it moved so neatly
we didn't have time to be self-
conscious. We were too busy hear
ing about our newspaper operation,
and watching it pass before our
eyes.
And another big thank-you to
Mr. Flanagan of the Capital Journal.
It was a nice article and a good
photo. And that headline — "going
great" — was right in key with our
own feelings. When we get a write
up like that, everything is great.

pear with him.
Monday, 1/3. Went to Mt. Angel
and spoke with Leopoldo Barrios,
age 21, Leopoldo was born with a,
( s e r io u s physical handicap) and
needs help in finding a job which
he can do with his handicap. I told
him that I would do what I could
about work and contact him during
the week. While there, I also talked
with him about an education pro
gram. This young man is of good
appearance and has good command
of the English language. He has
had seven years of school in this
country.
A friend brought a Mr. Falla to
see me at the center. He is an em
ployee of the Southern Pacific Rail
road and a former farm worker. He
claims he suffered a back injury
while at work and needs help set
tling his claim. He'is now collecting
payments under the federal rail
road act. I went over his claim with
him . . . I called the claim agent at
the Southern Pacific Railroad . . ,
(After some study on this case, Mr.
Klinge arranged an interview be
tween the parties involved.) This is
a case in which an attorney should
have been obtained some time ago
. . . I do not consider the case to be
one which comes under our pro-,
gram, and unless told otherwise I
intend to do no further work on
Mr. Falla's claim.

En el invierno cuando el trabajo
está escaso y hay poco dinero todos
sentimos que no podemos gastar
mucho dinero en comida. Algunos
de nosotros estamos comiendo sola
mente frijoles y arroz. Así cuidamos
el dinero pero esto no es bueno
para la salud. Carne y productos
del lechería y verduras esta'n
necesarios para una dieta balanz-
ada.
