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

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.
