Federal Savings of Pendleton is participating in a drive to collect signatures on pe'iiions urging Congress to give savers a tax break on their savings interest. Ot en Allison, president, said Hie pet ii jons urge congress to approve a bill providing tax-free earnings from sav ings accounts of up to $500 for individuals and $1,000 for couples filing a joint return. "This would also help fight inflai inn, channel new funds to 'lie housing market arid give hard-working American sav ers recognition for their con tributions to the economy." Ho urged non-customers as well as customers to sign the pcrit ions, which are available athe institution's offices. The bill. H H 1(W4. has already been approved by the House Was and Means Committee. It covers savings interest from all financial institutions, intruding savings associa tions, commercial banks, inu'ual savings banks and credit unions Allison said the thrift incen (iveV(u!d help dampen infla iioir"hfause as people save more, they would spend and Imirow less He pointed out thai the legislation's chief long-range benefit would be to help build more savings capi tal lo make n possible to increase the nation's produc tivity without risking runaway inflation ' By channeling new savings i" 'hrift instituions that lend to people who want to buy homes, a tax incentive for savings would also provide immediate relief to the hard pressed housing industry, which gets most of its new iiuirigage funds from savings accounts." he said. "And it would show thai congress finally recognizes that it is just as important to encourage Americans to save as it is to fos'er more sophisticated H.'S of investments." Allison noted that for years tax laws have provided tax advantages lo buyers of such investments as stocks and municipal bonds The drive to circulate the petitions is being sponsored by the Oregon Savings and Loan League and b the United States League of Savings Associations. Allison said the apparent loss to the treasury in tax revenues from the bill would be more than oflset by the new tax revenues generated from the housing sectors and other businesses benefiting from more savings capital. By stimulating the depressed housing industry, he said, the bill would also reduce unemployment taxes and the need for new housing subsidies. s I s E ADVERTISING SPECIALTIES Calendars Pens Pencils Book Matches Thermometers Rulers LARGE SELECTION CARL M.

(Continue from Page 1) One of the concepts behind the local mental health clinics, which are relatively new, is that if professional services are available in the com munity, the residents will be more likely to seek the services when their problems are still relatively small. This has greatly reduced the num ber of people in inpatient mental health facilities. So when a person seeks the services of the mental health clinic he need not fear that he's any different from any body else, except he has chosen to learn how to handle problems in a different way so that they will not affect him in such a negative manner. At this point the individual can be proud of himself for being honest that he could not handle the problem himself. Another myth which makes it difficult for people to seek the services of the mental health clinic is the saying, "I'm a man, I can handle my own problems!" In actuality the statement says, "I know everything, hence I do not . need anybody else's assist ance." There probably is not a person alive that believes the latter statement, so why would anyone believe the previous statement? 1 CENTRAL I MARKET j i Fresh I Frozen I I FRYER I j PARTS Les 790 ,b- Wings 490 lb.

This varies greatly from clinic to clinic and from therapist to therapist. Almost every clinic takes a psychosocial history, which is complete background information so the therapist can get to know the person in order to learn how the problem originated. About all psychotherapy involves is an educational process of re learning how to respond more appropriately to different situations, so that the results are constructive rather than destructive. An example of a person seeking treatment, we'll say, is a man who has been taught that men do not express emotions, hence he has internalized his feelings. The human brain is sort of like a computer which stores all the previous experiences which are feed into it. If a person continually stores his feelings, sooner or later he will overload his circuit and then will respond in an inappropriate destructive way. So in treatment this person is taught how to express his feelings and taught how to sort out what he is feeling. Many people deny feelings or thoughts they are having because they think they are unacceptable or abnormal. These Prices Good Friday.

He learns there is a difference between thought and actions, and why he responded in a particular way. Who is qualified to do psychotherapy? The most common psychotherapist are psychiatric social workers, clinic psychologists and psy chiatrists. Each of these professionals treat social and psychological problems of all degrees. Since the psychiatric social worker and psycholo gist are not medical doctors, if they think a patient needs medication and (or) medical attention, they will refer the patient to the appropriate resource. At the Morrow County Mental Health Clmic, if I feel the patient needs medication I'll refer him to a local doctor or ask the Umatilla Mental Health Clinic psychiatrist to see the patient. The Umatilla Clinic can also be used if I feel I need consultation on a particular patient I am seeing. Since no man is an island and man comes in contact with those around him, fre quently his problem may involve other people, such as the family or spouse. In consultation with the schools, the staff are asking if they are j Oregon Chief I BOLOGNA 850 n by the j MtMra Family PORK CHOPS ib. $1.09 Betty Crocker regular Cake 65 - 0 - Betty Crocker Frosting f.l fees boxes j COUNTRY- No. 1 ruiuiuea Pears 0 HIGHS Snoboy Walnuts Celery o Phones: (Groc.) 676-9614, (Meat) 676-9288 j Page 7 causing a negative effect upon the student and if so what and how can they change il. Then if the school personnel are not causing the negative effect. what can be done to assist the student to be more productive, In some cases I may recommend individual treat ment or family therapy. In the state of Oregon if a student is 15 years or older, he can make the choice on his own to receive treatment. If the student is below 15 years of age the parent or guardian's permission is obtained. Even if the student is older than 15 years old when ever possible or feasible the parents' per mission is sought. Another common situation where two people may enter treatment is marital conflicts. Since a couple has invested so much time and energy in one another, why dissolve it with out first receiving some pro fessional assistance? In treat ment it usually becomes clearer one way or the other, so that the individuals involv ed feel better about their decision. In summary, as I mentioned previously, everybody is "nuts" to a certain degree, so if you feel you need the services of the mental health clinic, you can feel like just aouinci nui inai iiiciiilci vi the human race. chunk I Pac Mixes j - I W!
