HKITNKU MIUK.I .A7.KTTK-TIMK8. Thursday. June U. I9T3 IVlr. 1HH SALARY WAS LITTLE, LUXURIES LESS The Methodist preacher of the early dayi was not exected to revel In luxury. Thin wm evidenced by the niinutea found in nn old Quarterly Conference mlnutea record now in McKendrre Collejre I.ilnury in Illinois. The record shows that in the Quarterly Meeting held at Shiloh Methodist Church in the yeur 1833 the estimating com mittee drought in a report recommend injr the following allowance for the support of the pastor and hi wife for the ensuing year: Twenty pounds of coffee ... I 4.00 Twenty pounds of augar - -.00 Four hundred pounds of beef and pork Ten bushels of cornmeal ..... Three hundred pounds of flour - -- - ... 10.00 ... 6.00 ... 7.50 House Kent 18.00 ($1.50 per month) Corn to feed the horse 7.50 Fodder for horse 2.00 (200 bundles) Wood, six cords 6.00 Vegetables 1.00 Salt, pepper and spice 1.00 Butter 2.50 Total for the year $68.50 This report was amended after discus sion, and the corn and fodder stricken out on the ground that they were not taxable expense. They raised the sugar from 20 pounds to 40 pounds. The flour was raised from 300 pounds to 400 pounds. The salt, pepper and spice was raised from $1.00 to $2.00. This made the total allowance $73.00 instead of $68.50. There is no record to show how the hors- was fed. This was left to the ingenuity of the Circuit Rider. Reprinted from The Texas Methodist FKKSII STRAWBERRY PIE (!" pie) 1 'L. quarts fresh strawberries 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice Wash and cap the berries, reserve half of them-the larg est and best colored ones. Mash the rest of the berries, and add the sugar and cornstarch, mixed together. Cook 5 or 6 minutes until clear and thick. Siir in the lemon juice. Cool. Add the whole berries to the cooled mixture, saving a few for garnish. Pour into a baked pastry shell. Top with whipped cream just before serving and garnish with whole berries. Two-thirds of this recipe (1 quart of berries) is enough for an 8-inch-pie. When a young man asked to look at engagement rings, the jeweler asked, "What sort of setting did you have in mind?" The youthful swain looked startled, flushed, then said, "Oh, probably her living room couch." Returning Mental Patient, What He Expects from You David E. Mitchum, Mental Health Director One of the most significant results of the recent advance ments in the care and treatment of the mentally ill is the greater number of people returning from our mental hospitals. Eastern Oregon State Hospital returns over 350 people to this part of the state each year. Unfortunately, the retruning mental patient often faces a community whose attitudes are changin" - a much slower pace than i --eded to meet his needs. Although we understand it is not generally true in this area, there are still employers who will not re-hire mental patients. Sometimes you hear of land lords who will ask a patient's family to leave, store managers who will refuse to extend credit to ex-patients, teachers who will feel uncomfortable about their students who have had to seek help, and friends and relatives who will wonder and be "over -cautious. : The first thing one must do is admit to feeling uneasy about the returning patient, which most people deny. They must remember that the mentally ill are more like them than they are different from them. They expect to be treated like everyone else-with a few vari ations. Dr. Lauren H. Smith, former chairman of the Council on Mental Health, American Medical Association, outlines the following suggestions to help the ex-mental hospital patient: DON'T- Beoversolicitiousor encourage dependency. -Be demanding, disrespect ful or rejecting. -Threaten a return to the hospital. -Attack self-esteem or self confidence. -Agree with "extreme" talk or attitudes. -Talk behind his back. DO-Give support, encourage ment, respect and affection. -Expect in general the same kind of conducts you would from anybody else. -Be optimistic about the ability to change. -Recognize the right to disagreee. -Keep up prescribed medication. Yes, there are a lot of good reasons for women to quit smoking. Find yours. ( ) I'm a mother. Children whose parents smoke arc more likely to smoke than those whose parents don't. ( ) Mv closet smells rotten, my clothes smell rotten; I'm nek of it. ( ) Lung cancer deaths are twice as high among women who smoke as among those who don't. ( ) I'm pregnant. Smoking can affect the health of mv baby. ( ) I'm middle-aged. Women 45-54 who smoke have twice the nsk of dying of coro nary heart disease as those who don t. ( ) seem to be sick a lot. Women who smoke a lot have more chronic illness, lose more time from work, are sick more often than those who don't. ( ) I know my husband's been trying to quit. How can he with me still puffing away? ( ) I want to wake up feeling fresh and clean again. lVe had it with nicotine hang over. ( ) The thing that appeals to me most is: In most cases, if you quit for Rood it can be as if you never smoked. ( ) 1 thought it was hopeless; I quit once and went back. But someone told me a lot of people had to quit over and over before it took. I'm trying again. t ( ) If I quit, I'll save 50 a day. Thats $3.50 a week, $14.00 a month. $182.50 a year. What 1 could do with that ! ( ) So many people I know have quit, I'm beginning to feel stupid about smoking. ( ) There's something very cool and self assured about women who dont need cigarettes. ( ) I quit once for 10 days and, frankly, 1 felt pretty good about it. I like that feeling; this time I'm quitting for good. Lord knows. I've done a lot harder things in my life. ( ) Somewhere in the back of my head I've been nursing the illusion that smoking is really only dangerous for men. I've just seen the latest statistics.The death rate for women who smoke is more than 20 higher than women who don't. WeVe come a long way baby, but I'm not going any further. Now all you need is help and encouragement. Send a postcard today to: Women & Smoking, Rockville. Md. 20852. And well send some free booklets to help and encour age you. U S. Department of Health.

June 18, 1973 Dear Editors: Dear Sir: I am a student at Grants Pass High School in southern Oregon. This last semester we had a new course called Model State Legislature. It was a mock State Legislature. I had the pleasure to be the representa tive from District 55. I was the only student who got a telephone call from their representative. Some students did not even get a letter of acceptance, which was requir ed. I got all of the information on what was going on in Salem. I think the people of District 55 should know what an effort Mr. Sumner is doing for their District. He took time out to talk to me when our class went to Salem. We watched from the gallery, he was just great. I think that you the people in District 55 should be proud to have such a good Representa tive. I would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Sumner for all the help that they both were during the class. Susan People 1210 S. E.

Jerry Power Without Pollution Kinzua Thank you for printing my letter, and a very special thank you to all who helped clean up the Main St. since that is all I have seen. What a difference it has made. Murrays must sell energy pills, now if he would sell me some maybe I could get my own mess cleaned. On TV news I heard that if you didn't carry a trash container you'd better have an extra $10.00 bill. Seems a little steep to me but the idea was good. Maybe if we followed their idea and maybe charged our care less people a dollar and use the money for more help to keep up our cemetery and parks. We were at Goldendale for Fathers n and was told anyone without the ten dollars worked 10 days. I don't think any of us want to do that. I'll probably be first. So don't be surprised if you see me pushing the first broom. The street really looks good and I thank all who help. Next time give me a call and I will do all I can to help. Many Thanks to all, Edna Hutchens. By John J. Greve, M. D., President Oregon Thoracic Society Pollution is the price our society pays for the , fuel of progress. But there are untapp ed sources of energy that would not despoil our air. Nuclear power may solve our energy needs and pollution problems. Many experts predict it will. Others disagree. A staff report to the Public Service Commission in New York re cently warned that nuclear energy cannot solve the power crisis swiftly and safely. The Commission urged the devel opment of nonatomic sources. One source of energy sug gested was coal gasification. Coal is dwindling as a source of power now because it creates so much pollution. But polluting gases can be extracted from the burning coals in special refining plants. Then the gas can be burned in steam generating plants that spew little pollution. still another source of energy is advocated by former Interior Secretary Walter J. Hickel. He has proposed that the govern ment invest $685 million to study ways to develop geo thermal energy. This energy comes from tapping the heat of the earth's core to make steam to run electric power plants. The most visible forms of geothermal energy are geysers, hot springs, and volcanoes. Much larger reserves lie in great underground regions of hot dry rocks and volcanic molten rock. If development begins soon, Mr. Hickel predicts that in another 25 years this form of energy could supply even more power than is produced by the entire electric power system in the U. S. Developing ways to provide power without pollution is an overriding concern. To find out how you can pitch into the fight against air pollution, contact your local tuberculosis and respiratory disease association. It's a matter of life and breath.
