Oivjro.i. us Second Class Matter OREGON STATE FOR THE YOl'NG IIOMEMAKER Learn How to Quarrel One of the most important skills a young couple should learn during the early years of marriage is how to quarrel or solve problems in a constructive way. Those who've been married a little longer may want to take a look at how they quarrel too. Quarrels can be described as constructive or destructive. Destructive quarrels weaken a marriage, while constructive quarrels strengthen marriage ties. A constructive quarrel is directed at a problem and leads to more complete understanding. If a couple quarrels constructively they have fewer things to disagree about as time goes on, and they' understand each other's feelings better as they resolve their differences. Thus, their marriage becomes stronger. In destructive quarreling, the couple leaves the subject or issue and attacks each other. They tend to belittle each other and destroy self confidence. They don't solve any problems, so quarreling tends to increase instead of decrease, which weakens their marriage considerably. How do you quarrel? Let's suppose you're having a quarrel about the grocery bill. You think you're doing a pretty good job of shopping, and your husband thinks the bill is too high. The quarreling can be constructive as long as it is focused on the cost of groceries and a discussion of what steps need to be taken to reduce the cost. It would become destructive if the husband said, "If you had any sense about money or shopping you could cut down on the bill." Or "If you just knew how to cook you could get by for less." In both these cases he is attacking her competency. If she says "If you just earned enough money we wouldn't have to worry about the grocery bill," she is attacking his ability to earn rather than focusing on the facts and what they could do to reduce their spending for groceries. The earmark of a destructive quarrel is that it leaves the issue-the cost of groceries-and attacks the other person and thus doesn't solve anything. A constructive quarrel about groceries could include a discussion of how much is spent at the grocery store and how much of this goes for groceries and how much for other items. They might compare this figure with the national figures for a family of the same size. Keeping a record for a month on how much they spent for various food groups, enrolling in the food buying correspondence course, getting some bulletins, etc. are constructive plans focused on the -, issue. t February 8. 1973 $(13 million will U laid at Oregon ' doorstep in the next two yeurs. But if the lresidont' proposals are adopted, Oregon could lose up to SMI million during the same eriod. It doesn't require a degree in mathematics to figure out that our "shot in the arm" could easily miss its target. More to the point is the question of where the ax might fall. Because of the areas in which Nixon has chosen to chop federal spending, Oregon could suffer its heaviest casualties in education, health care and anti-poverty programs. Nearly a quarter of our federal support for schools may be lost -including $2.1 million in aid to impacted areas, where high concentrations of people employed on federal properly lower the tax base to an inequitable level. Also curtailed would be special funds for libraries, vocational education, adult eduction and innovative programs. The .State Health IVpartment told the legislature this past week that more than 100,000 Oregotiians could be directly affected by federal cutbacks in health care programs. Nixon's wholesale slashing could eliminate nearly 90 percent of the total budget of five major health care areas. Most distressing is the possible loss of Hill Burton funds that have proved so vital to the development of hospitals, public health facilities and nursing homes. tow-income Oregonians also would suffer under the federal ax. The Office of Economic Opportunity, which provides most of the money for our Community Action Agencies, is totally eliminated in the proposed budget. The Legislative Fiscal Office is continuing its careful study of the President's budget, and you can be sure the Legislature will consider these federal fund losses while analyzing Governor McCall's budget for the next biennium. Switching to a positive note, the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate have appointed a special Committee on Professional Responsibility, with the aim of increasing public trust in state office holders. Oregon already is fortunate to be blessed with a system that is essentially open to public scrutiny: The people have the lust word on all tax measures; the state may not spend more money than it takes in; ours was the first state to recognize the people's voice through initiative and referendum legislation; only the people of Oregon can change the state constitution; and all hearings of the Legislature are open to the public, with anyone permitted to speak on any bill. However, with national attention being focused on the problems of conflict of interest, Oregon again plans to move ahead of the pack in developing procedures to insure against potential conflicts. This important new reform by the Democratic leadership empowers the committee to evaluate the relationship between financial interests and the public involvement of state officials and legislators. In addition, the committee will consider how best to help protect the major guardians of the public interest, the news media. In this second area of vital concern-protection of the Fourth Estate--the committee will seek advice from newspaper reporters, publishers and broadcasters in order to determine whether legislation or self-regulation is the best alternative. It's a matter of legitimate pride for all Oregonians that their state government has functioned so well with so few questionable actions or activities on the part of elected officials. The Committee on Professional Responsibility will assist in perpetuating that Ministers Exchange Dirk Kinehurt, former reclor of All Saints Episcopal church in Ileppner, will be guest speaker here this Sunday, Feb. 11 and David Blaekaller will be at Mr. Rlnehart's church, St. James, in Milton-Freewater. Mr. and Mrs. Rinehart will be guests of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones while in Ileppner. Thornburg Coming to Nazcrcnc Church The Ileppner Church of the Nazarene announces that Rev. Herschel Thornburg of New berg, will be returning to here February 14-18. Rev. Thornburg's program will appeal to all ages and interests.

His services will be held at the Church of the Nazarene each evening at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday at 11:00 and 6:00 p.m. All ages will be thrilled with the meetings.

With Jack Sumner With 350 bills introduced and another 1000 drafted, most committees are now hard at work. I have mailed with my news story this week a run down on activities of the various House Committees. Anyone interested should check with the editor. Remember to write to me: Jack Sumner 18-K Capitol Building, Salem, Oregon 97310. A great deal of concern has been expressed in Salem this past week over the severity of cutbacks in President Nixon's proposed budget. Revenue sharing, which many people viewed as mortar for the cracked foundations of state and local treasuries, has turned out to be more like cotton candy-appealing and substantive at first glance, but dissolving rapidly when you try to get your teeth into it. The Legislative Fiscal office, fact-finders for our Appropriations Committee, estimates that federal revenue sharing funds totaling Week after next the Heppner Gazette-Times will be 90! The paper was founded in February of 1883, as we understand it. Since most of the files were destroyed in a fire there isn't too much informa tion available that we can vouch for. However, there are some pretty good stories about the founder, Indian scout John W. Redington. "Homesteads 9 Heritages" tells about the first editor and a story was told of him in our Centennial edition last August. We have been assured we can have a picture of Mr. Redington taken about 1878 when he was an Indian scout for General Howard, at a time when he had I mentioned the paper about to become 90 years old when talking the other day to an lone friend. He said, "Charlie, you're right. You look every bit 90 or better." Probably we didn't have a full-fledged epidemic, but the past few weeks have seen a lot of folks with various brands of colds, London, Hong Kong and other viruses. We're hoping it's about run its course. There surely must be other ways to get sympathy. New telephone directories were scheduled for delivery to Heppner, lone, Lexington, Boardman, Pilot Rock and I'kiah beginning Tuesday. Dale Slusher, Pacific Northwest Bell manager, says he hopes cus tomers will make good use of the new books. "It seems many telephone users dun't bother to look up a number in a book," Slusher says, "but call Directory Assis tance instead, which is located in Pendleton. As many as 70 percent of these requests are for numbers already listed in the book. "We print and distribute directories so customers will have telephone numbers of other subscribers. Our Di rectory Assistance service is intended to help phone users with listings too new to be in the book, or to help customers who are having trouble finding a particular listing." Slusher says use of Directory Assistance is on the increase. Last December there were an average of 10,716 DA calls per day as compared to a daily average of 9,195 in December of the previous year. "Actually," Slusher says, "by using Directory Assistance, it probably takes more time to place a call. By the time a call is made to DA operators to get a number, the caller could have saved time by looking up the number and making just one call." Throughout the state, PNB Directory Assistance operators handle more than 175,000 DA requests per day at a cost to the company of several million dollars a year. "We are trying to reduce this cost," Slusher says, "by using several programs to convince customers to use the phone book unless they really need assis tance. Our goal is to some way reduce the DA volume by weeding-out the unnecessary requests." The new directories will be delivered mostly by hand ex cept to some rural areas. Covers of the books will feature a color photograph of a coastal stream. Also on the covers is a table of contents listing sections of the book, including the Call Guide Index which lists calling information and long distance rates, the White Page section which includes a government and school listing guide and the Yellow Pages, where a calendar and Zip Codes are included. "Many people are often surprised to find out just how much information is included in their book," Slusher says. "I would recommend to our customers that when they get their new book to leaf through it and get acquainted with it. Taking time to do this might be helpful and save time and effort when making future calls." Other listings in the new directories include Pendleton, Athena, Weston, Hermiston, Umatilla, Stanfield, Echo and Milton-Freewater. PLEASE.
